My subjects are too rebellious!

"Wan'er, can His Majesty come to my Weiyang Palace today?"

Shangguan Wan'er stood aside, looking at Wu Zetian who was sighing in front of the mirror, and spoke cautiously.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty...did not say that he would come to our Weiyang Palace today."

"Alas, Your Majesty, don't you love me anymore?"

"You loved me so much before, why don't you even want to see me now?"

"That's how I annoy him."

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she absolutely dared not respond.

The Queen has been moody these days. If you make her unhappy, the consequences will be...

"Wan'er, go, go to the Qianqing Palace to invite His Majesty to come."

"If His Majesty asks, just say that I am not feeling well. In the past, when he learned that I was ill, he would come immediately."

Shangguan Wan'er was in a difficult situation because she knew that even if she went, she would only bring humiliation upon herself.

"Go, go quickly."

Seeing Wu Zetian already somewhat angry, Shangguan Wan'er had no choice but to go to the Qianqing Palace even if she didn't want to go.

Alas, what's wrong with the Queen? Didn't she hate Your Majesty the most in the past?

Shangguan Wan'er really couldn't understand in her little head why the Queen had changed so much recently.

The queen who was decisive, domineering and dignified disappeared.

She even told the Queen that Yu Huatian had surrendered to Her Majesty.

The queen, however, remained unmoved.

It seems that the Queen's heart is now filled with His Majesty.

But Shangguan Wan'er really doesn't understand, what's so good about men?

Qin Chuan was now immersed in a sea of ​​memorials, reviewing them diligently.

"Your Majesty, the court lady Shangguan Wan'er, come over and pass on a message for the Queen."

Hearing the word "Queen", Qin Chuan stopped what he was doing.

Putting down the red pen, he said in confusion: "Let her in."

Wu Zhengxiang hurried to announce it.

Shangguan Wan'er entered the palace and bowed quickly, saying, "Your Majesty, I greet you. Long live Your Majesty."

"Wei Chen?"

Qin Chuan smiled contemptuously. It seemed that Shangguan Wan'er was really favored by the Queen.

"Get up."

"What happened to the Queen?"

Only after obtaining His Majesty's permission did Shangguan Wan'er stand up. When she looked up and saw His Majesty sitting in front of the throne, she was slightly stunned.

The emperor in front of her had a mature look between his brows, and was calm yet arrogance-the arrogance that was born into the royal family.

But he did not give people a sense of pressure. His deep eyes were like two bottomless abysses, and he exuded a kingly aura from head to toe.

Shangguan Wan'er was a little dazed for a moment.

Is this His Majesty? She used to see His Majesty every day. When did His Majesty become so imposing?

"Cough cough."

Qin Chuan couldn't help himself as Shangguan Wan'er was staring at him like that.

He coughed lightly to remind her.

This reminder brought Shangguan Wan'er back to her senses. Thinking of her own inappropriate behavior just now, her pretty face actually blushed a little.

"Your Majesty, the Queen invites you over."

"But something?"

"Her Majesty the Queen has been feeling unwell lately, so I would like you to come over and see her."

Qin Chuan sneered. Feeling unwell? Then I won't go.

"The queen is ill, what's the point of me going?"

"Zhang Rang, go and get the imperial physician to see the queen."

After saying this, he continued to review memorials.

Zhang Rang on the side also hurriedly said: "Why don't you get off now!"

...

"Did he really say that?"

"It is absolutely true. I dare not hide it."

Wu Zetian stopped talking and turned to stare at herself in the mirror in a daze.

In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but she just didn't want to admit it.

She just couldn't accept that the person who had loved her for so long didn't even give her a decent explanation.

...

In Changqiu Palace, Su Daji was preparing a delicious dish.

This is her only pleasure in this deep palace.

The dishes she cooked looked very rough and heavy, not as exquisite and elegant as those in the imperial kitchen.

But amidst the roughness, the cuisine is very particular about the ingredients and cooking methods.

For example, she is now making this dish of stir-fried shallot, ginseng and walnut meat.

Onion wedges are the newly grown tender onions on old onions, and walnut meat is actually pork cut into patterns and fried to look like a wrinkled walnut.

After finishing this dish, it’s time to stop.

I was just about to call Lian'er in to share the prepared dishes and pastries.

But who would have thought that after shouting a few times, there was no response from Lian'er.

"It's delicious!"

"The food in your majesty's kitchen is much more delicious!"

Su Daji was startled by the sudden male voice, but then she saw the person's face clearly.

"I have seen your majesty. Long live your majesty."

Looking at Su Daji kneeling on the ground in panic, Qin Chuan hurriedly helped her up.

The tips of the ten fingers are like bamboo shoots, and the wrists are like white lotus roots.

Only after Su Daji stood up did Qin Chuan see her appearance clearly.

Her hair is as dark as clouds, her face is as white as an apricot, her cheeks are as rosy as peach, her skin is as white as spring, and her waist is as slender as a willow.

It is like the crabapple blossoms intoxicated by the moon and the pear blossoms wet with rain, no less than the fairies from the nine heavens descending to the Yaochi Lake and Chang'e leaving the Jade Palace in the moon.

Daji's red lips were like a cherry, and the tip of her tongue exuded a beautiful and harmonious aura. Her eyes were like a pair of curved phoenix eyes, and the corners of her eyes were filled with delicate and charming charm.

"I have not received Your Majesty respectfully. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Just these few words made Qin Chuan's soul wandering away, his bones and muscles weak, his ears hot and his eyes twitching. He didn't know what to do.

"It's my fault. I should have come to see you earlier. I let you suffer."

After hearing Qin Chuan's words, Su Daji's wide-open eyes instantly turned red.

"Your Majesty must be busy with something important. I don't blame Your Majesty, I don't blame you."

Looking at Su Daji's tearful appearance, Qin Chuan felt a little distressed and reached out to hug her tightly.

Although she was a little shy, Daji still buried her head in Qin Chuan's arms, greedily sniffing the scent of His Majesty.

Looking at the charming Su Daji in his arms, Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Tall and thin figure, black curly hair, and a beautiful and charming face.

She also has a slender waist, a cherry-like mouth and fair skin.

Coupled with the melodious and beautiful voice like a yellow oriole.

Not to mention that King Zhou of Shang was infatuated with her, even Qin Chuan couldn't resist it.

After the beauty in his arms calmed down, Qin Chuan gently patted her back.

"Okay, okay, I will come to visit you more often in the future."

Su Daji wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She looked so pitiful.

"Okay, don't cry anymore." Qin Chuan reached out to wipe the tears from Daji's face and comforted her.

"I just smelled a fragrance. I heard that you often research some delicacies on your own."

"Can you introduce me to him?"

"Your Majesty, please follow me."

Su Daji took Qin Chuan's hand and walked towards her small kitchen.

As soon as he reached the door, Qin Chuan smelled a strong fragrance.

"It smells so good. It's much better than the one in the imperial kitchen."

Seeing that His Majesty liked it, Daji also smiled particularly happily.

"Your Majesty, this is fried shallot, ginseng and walnut meat, also known as fried pork." Su Daji pointed to a dish and introduced it.

But Qin Chuan's attention was attracted by another dish.

"This...is this a sausage?"

"Your Majesty, this is lamb sausage."

"It's just chopping mutton and pork into stuffing, adding eggs, rice wine, carrot cubes, etc., mix well, stuff it into sausage casings, steam it in a pot, then dry it and store it, and slice it when you eat it."

Qin Chuan's saliva was almost flowing out when he looked at the sausage.

"Give me a plate."

A dish of walnut meat fried with shallots, ginseng and walnuts, a dish of crispy lamb meat cut into fine candy, and a dish of fat lamb sausage.

Finally, add a bowl of pearl dumpling soup.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Qin Chuan seemed to have returned to modern times.

He was particularly satisfied with this meal, so he ate an extra bowl of rice.

As for Su Daji, she usually doesn’t eat the food after she makes it, but today His Majesty is with her.

She also sat beside him with a seductive look in her eyes, dining with His Majesty.
