Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2001

Tang Chujun took the cloisonné enamel cup from Eunuch Qi and said, "I'll do it. Eunuch Qi, go and have a rest."

"As you command." Eunuch Qi bowed and left, and the vermilion lacquered palace door closed silently behind him.

He sat upright on a Huanghuali armchair in the outer room, as still as a clock, tapping the beat lightly on his knees.

"Eunuch Qi..." A young eunuch hesitated and approached, his voice very low, "Is the retired emperor feeling better? Why doesn't he allow anyone to serve him closely?"

"Pa!" A slap sounded crisply in the outer hall.

Eunuch Qi narrowed his eyes, the force of the slap still lingering in his fingers, "Little bastard, when is it your turn to poke your head around the Qingshou Palace? So, after you find out, which master can you report to?"

The young eunuch knelt on the ground, holding his swollen face, "This slave deserves death! This slave was just trying to share your worries."

"I won't give you a head!" Eunuch Qi suddenly jumped up and kicked the man hard in the heart with his cloud-head shoes. "You have been sneaking around all day, and the word 'spy' is almost written on your face."

He swung his whisk and sneered, "Come here! Drag this traitor to the Ministry of Punishment - tell him that we want to personally watch him and make him vomit out all the dirt in his intestines!"

Two eunuchs as strong as iron towers flashed out from the shadows of the corridor and dragged the man away like carrying a sack.

The young eunuch's shrill cries of injustice as he was dragged away gradually faded away, and the vermilion lacquered palace door closed with a "click", blocking out the last trace of noise.

Eunuch Qi straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves, and suddenly shook his head and sighed, "In this palace, even shadows can tell secrets."

Oh, these ignorant people! Qi Youen narrowed his eyes and sneered. How could anyone snoop into the affairs of the Qingshou Palace?

Although his old body has no other skills, he is more than capable of guarding this quiet place for his master.

Eunuch Qi slowly sat back on the rosewood armchair and began tapping his fingers on his knees again.

The tune was so lingering that, against the darkening night outside the window, it seemed as if it was the soundtrack for the loving couple inside.

The anger he had just used to deal with the little beast had long since dissipated, and now his wrinkles were filled with smiles.

The master was very happy to have found his beloved, and his old bones also felt relieved.

In the inner hall, Tang Chujun placed the blood swallow cup on the dragon-patterned table. Seeing that the wrinkles between Xiao Yunde's eyebrows had not disappeared, he asked softly, "Are you still worried about the four great families?"

Xiao Yunde did not answer, but picked up the jade spoon and stirred it gently. Suddenly, he turned his wrist and handed the crystal bird's nest in the spoon to Tang Chujun's lips, "You look worse than a few days ago."

Tang Chujun turned her head away, her hairpins swaying slightly, "All day long, it's either bird's nest or ginseng soup, it's very greasy." She suddenly reached out and grasped his wrist, turning the jade spoon in another direction, "But you have lost weight."

Xiao Yunde lowered his eyes and swallowed the sweet soup mouthful by mouthful from her hand. The warmth from her fingertips came through the jade spoon, warming the spleen and stomach more than the tonic in the cup.

Xiao Yunde was very self-disciplined and never ate after the hour of Xu. But Tang Chujun asked him to eat, so he ate.

Tang Chujun looked at his Adam's apple rolling as he swallowed, and the corners of his eyes gradually curved into crescents.

He ate and she watched, with tenderness in her eyes.

After eating, he put the jade spoon into the bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then looked at her quietly.

Just, I can’t get enough of it.

He almost lost her.

These days, Xiao Yunde's eyes were always on Tang Chujun.

Shi Anxia originally wanted to take her mother back to the Young Master's Mansion, but Xiao Yunde insisted on keeping her in the Qingshou Palace on the grounds of "avoiding public attention".

All the ancestral etiquette and palace rules and regulations became empty words in his eyes.

The joy of regaining what he had lost made him stare at her like a wolf. When he couldn't see her for a moment, he asked, "Youen, where is Mr. Chu?"
