I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

Su Minglang changed into a goose yellow skirt and fiddled with a piece of cloth in her hand. There were a few simple samples embroidered on it, and it was impossible to tell what the finished product would look like for the time being.

Xiao Ye sat beside her and helped her sort out the silk threads. When she looked up, she saw a bright yellow figure standing next to the palace door.

Xiao Heng arrived earlier than the time he delivered the message. He waved his hand to signal Xiao Ye to keep quiet, and walked lightly to Su Minglang. The little woman in front of him was immersed in embroidery and did not notice the man beside her.

Xiao Heng pointed at the half of the prototype and asked, "My beloved concubine, are you embroidering a mandarin duck?"

Su Minglang suddenly saw a finger landing on her embroidery. She was startled, but when she looked up and saw that it was Xiao Heng, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a half-coquettish tone, "Your Majesty? Why are you here so early?"

"What's the matter? I rarely take time out to spend more time with my beloved concubine, but she is disgusted with me?" Xiao Heng said in a displeased manner.

"I dare not." Su Minglang looked away.

"Just you don't dare?" Xiao Heng asked relentlessly while hugging her from behind. Xiao Ye tactfully retreated and did not forget to help them close the door.

"I don't want to either." Su Minglang uttered these three words reluctantly, and leaned softly into Xiao Heng's arms. She stretched out a finger to stroke his jaw, feeling a little stubble, "Your Majesty, why do you look so haggard?"

"How about letting me serve Your Majesty?" Su Minglang suddenly straightened up while touching it and asked with interest.

"I want to grow a beard." Xiao Heng pressed down her rebellious hand, pulled her back into his arms, and rubbed her face with his thin layer of stubble, while asking, "My beloved, what do you think of me growing a beard?"

"Your Majesty!" Su Minglang called her "Your Majesty" in a roundabout way, and it tickled Xiao Heng's heart like a feather. She freed herself from Xiao Heng's arms and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly want to grow a beard?"

Xiao Heng's appearance was more handsome, and he was also a martial artist with a strong physique. If he grew a beard, he would be no different from those military generals. Su Minglang chuckled unconsciously as he thought about it, and when he came to his senses, he found that Xiao Heng was looking at him.

"What? Is it so ridiculous that I want to grow a beard?" Xiao Heng was really displeased this time.

"No!" Su Minglang hurriedly said, "I just think that Your Majesty is best the way he is now."

"No matter what your Majesty looks like, your heart has already fallen on your Majesty."

"Yes! I know what my beloved concubine feels." Xiao Heng changed his unhappy expression and smiled, "Not only that, I also know what my beloved concubine is thinking."

Su Minglang was slightly stunned when she heard this. She looked at Xiao Heng in confusion and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"Did you go to show off to the Queen?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Minglang's expression changed. She struggled to break free from Xiao Heng's embrace and turned around, "What a talkative dog slave!"

"Do I need anyone to say more? I can tell from your arrogant look along the way." Xiao Heng said with a smile, letting her break free from his arms.

"Hmph!" Su Minglang snorted and sat aside feeling aggrieved.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng came closer in a good mood, put his chin on her shoulder and whispered in her ear: "What's wrong? I don't blame you, why are you angry?"

"Your Majesty, aren't you blaming me?" This time Su Minglang didn't dodge. "It's rare that Your Majesty is willing to come to my side today. I'm so happy, but I never thought that Your Majesty is here to vent the Queen's anger!"

"Your Majesty is right, I went to the Queen to show off! I was spoiled by her favor and became arrogant! If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I will accept it!"

"Hahaha!" Xiao Heng couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. He straightened the little girl's shoulders and lifted her chin to force her to look at him. He looked into Su Minglang's eyes and said seriously, "I am very happy to see that my beloved concubine values ​​my preference so much."

"Since I want to pamper you, I won't care whether you are arrogant because of my pampering." Xiao Heng smiled and pinched her earlobe and said, "Next time if you make such assumptions about me again, I will punish you!"

"I know..." Su Minglang covered her face shyly and hid in Xiao Heng's arms.

"However," Xiao Heng changed the subject, "The queen is not in good health, so you should try not to provoke her next time, okay?"

"Well, I understand." A muffled voice came out from his arms. Xiao Heng stroked her exposed neck helplessly, "You should also go out more often, otherwise where are you going to show off the reward I give you?"

"No!" Su Minglang raised her head from Xiao Heng's arms and said, "Your Majesty's kindness to me, I want to hide it and savor it bit by bit."

"No need to hide!" Xiao Heng blurted out, "I will treat you better in the future!"

Su Minglang looked at him deeply. There was a hint of emotion in Xiao Heng's eyes that she couldn't see clearly. This unknown feeling gave her a great sense of strangeness.

Xiao Heng quickly realized his gaffe, and after adjusting his mood, he changed the subject.

"I'm asking you to attend the Fengshan ceremony on behalf of the Queen this time. You must not make any mistakes. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Seeing that he started to talk about business, Su Minglang couldn't help but become serious.

"I would like to take this opportunity to promote you!" Xiao Heng looked at Su Minglang with burning eyes, trying to tell her that he was not just full of enthusiasm, but had already made plans for her.

"Last time I wanted to promote you to be my concubine, my beloved concubine felt that she had no merits. This time, I want to see who else will say something bad about me!"

"Your servant..." Su Minglang really didn't expect that Xiao Heng would do this for this. She also didn't expect that her refusal would actually be remembered by him.

Su Minglang felt a sudden pain in her heart. The pain seemed to come from the depths of her soul. Something in her heart shattered, and for a moment she was unconsciously a little dazed.

Xiao Heng felt that the person in his arms had an odd expression. He thought she was overwhelmed with joy, but he actually felt distressed. A small position as a concubine could make her lose her composure like this.

The two people hugged each other, each with their own thoughts. Their skins were close but their hearts were not aware of the distance between them. Su Minglang suppressed the unbearable pain in her heart and looked deeply at the man in front of her. It seemed as if a flame was burning her fragile soul where their bodies met.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Xizi shouted outside the door, "Several ministers have come to the palace to ask for an audience."

Xiao Heng frowned and looked at Su Minglang apologetically. He felt even more distressed when he saw her stand up and help him tidy up his clothes.

"Your Majesty, please go and do your work!" Su Minglang saw that Xiao Heng wanted to say something, so he interrupted him first, pushed him to the door and said, "State affairs are more important!"

Xiao Heng looked at her deeply, then turned and left. Su Minglang stared at the closed door in front of her for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
