Chapter 2129

The slender fingertips held the dewy peach branch and suddenly pressed it down on the open book. The flower branch trembled slightly, and a few drops of rain rolled down the petals, staining the "Primary Education Guide" with a few light red spots.

Cen Yuan leaned forward, and that well-defined face suddenly filled Shi Anxia's field of vision, even the shadow of the drooping eyelashes was clearly visible.

"Please lower your eyes, Madam." He chuckled, his breath brushing the ink marks on her fingertips, "Would you like to appreciate it for a moment?"

Bei Hui and the others standing in the corridor smiled in tacit understanding and turned their backs. The emperor and empress had been married for many years, but they were still as intimate as if they had just gotten married.

Shi Anxia raised her head and chuckled, her fingertips brushing the morning dew on the flower petals. Looking at the handsome face in front of her, which was even more handsome than when she was young, she deliberately said, "I've been looking at it for more than ten years, so I should be tired of it."

"Really?" Cen Yuan was not annoyed. She just leaned forward suddenly, and the peach branch just brushed the pearl beside her ear. "But why can't I get enough of looking at the queen with my eyes?"

Shi Anxia blushed and lowered her eyelashes, "You're doing it again. Be careful that your son doesn't hear me and keeps asking me what the emperor said."

"I'm not afraid of him." Cen Yuan smiled and sat down, putting the peach branch on the table. "Why are you in a daze?"

"They are studying in the palace, and I'm not used to it." Shi Anxia smiled lightly, stood up, and took down a jade vase.

She twisted the peach branch lightly with her fingertips and inserted the dewy end diagonally into the vase. A few crimson petals then fell on the icy cracks on the shoulder of the vase, just like rouge tears staining the porcelain.

The warm sun shines into the house and birds chirp outside.

The two of them sat by the window drinking tea and chatting, feeling very comfortable.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and it sounded like Zhuo Qiran's voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Um... Don't cover me, cover me... I also want to take a leave."

Shi Anxia raised her voice and asked, "Is it Zhuo Qiran?"

"Yes... um..."

"No! Your Majesty, please take a rest and ignore him." Bei Hui answered neatly.

"Bei Hui, please ask Lord Zhuo to come in. I just need to talk to him about something." After Shi Anxia finished speaking, she whispered to Cen Yuan, "What do you think Lord Zhuo wants to talk about?"

Cen Yuan smiled, "Is there a prize for guessing correctly?"

Shi Anxia glared at him with her beautiful eyes, "I finally know who Yi Yi looks like. You two are the same, asking for rewards for whatever you do. You were not like this before."

"People change." Cen Yuan smiled and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. "Only those who ask for candy can get it. I was stupid before and just worked hard. In fact, I should have bargained with you earlier. I won't work if you don't give me a reward. Yi Yi is smarter than my father."

"You're still talking about children! You're not learning from your good deeds!"

As the couple laughed and chatted, Zhuo Qiran brought Bei Hui into the palace. As soon as he arrived, he shouted that he wanted to ask for a long vacation for his wife Bei Hui.

In the year of the Emperor and Empress' wedding, Zhuo Qiran obtained a rare medicinal ingredient from Emperor Yu, and made a medicine to restore vitality. After taking it for nearly half a year, his hair turned from white to black.

As a result, after he recovered, Bei Hui regretted the engagement and said that she would give him a chance to reconsider his lifelong affairs.

Her action made Zhuo Qiran very angry.

No matter how he begged or how much he said, Bei Hui refused him on the pretext that she wanted to concentrate on serving the Queen.

Later, Zhuo Qiran learned that someone in the Zhuo family had heard that they were going to get married, so they came to pass on a message to Bei Hui, saying that Zhuo Qiran was the head of the Zhuo family, had a promising future, and should not be hindered by a maid like her, and hoped that she would have self-awareness.

Bei Hui was wronged but she kept it to herself and didn't tell Zhuo Qiran. In fact, it was because she was not good enough and felt that she was not worthy of Master Zhuo.

She had agreed to the marriage because she thought that Master Zhuo was ill and didn't know how long he could live, so she wanted to leave him a descendant. Now that he was safe and sound, and Zhuo's family came to her to pass on this message, she felt a little discouraged.

After Zhuo Qiran knew the truth, he decided to go all out and quietly did something big. He secretly gave Bei Hui a life-threatening poison without anyone noticing.

Lock it up!

This is the last pair of Gu in his hand.
