The Poisonous Concubine is alive

Chapter 136 See how well you take care of me

Liu Yunrou didn't expect that her emperor husband was so funny. It was so cute to be said by her father and mother.

Liu Yunrou suppressed her smile and turned to look at the emperor, only to find that he was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and the emperor's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and grievance, as if to say, "I am helpless too."

Liu Yunrou's heart moved, and she suddenly felt that the emperor also had a lovely side. She couldn't help but think of the little things since they met. Although they had not been together for a long time, she could already feel the emperor's kindness and generosity.

Perhaps this is fate. Liu Yunrou smiled slightly and nodded gently to the emperor, her eyes full of tenderness. Seeing this, the emperor also smiled, and the atmosphere in the whole palace suddenly became warm.

Sitting in the magnificent palace, Liu Yunrou couldn't help but laugh at her husband, the emperor, acting so well-behaved yet slightly awkward in front of his father, the empress, and her mother. Her husband, usually a majestic figure in the court, commanding the empire, became like a child who had made a mistake, cautious and afraid to even breathe when he was in front of his parents.

Father and Mother exchanged exhortations, while the Emperor nodded repeatedly. Their demeanor betrayed no trace of the dignity of a supreme ruler; it was clearly that of a dutiful son, heeding his parents' instructions. Liu Yunrou tried her best to maintain a dignified demeanor, but she couldn't suppress the smile that welled up inside. She could only quietly cover her lips with her fingers to prevent a laugh.

"Yunrou, what's wrong with you?" The queen mother noticed Liu Yunrou's abnormality and asked with concern.

Liu Yunrou quickly straightened her expression and said softly, "Mother, I just think my husband is too cute in front of you and father."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor smiled awkwardly and secretly glared at Liu Yunrou, his eyes seeming to say, "My wife, are you making fun of me?"

The Emperor and the Empress smiled at each other, as if they were very pleased with the interaction between the young couple. Liu Yunrou knew that she couldn't laugh anymore, otherwise her husband would lose face. She suppressed her smile, changed the subject, and began to talk about other matters, but she thought to herself: "A husband like this, really..." In the past few days, Liu Yunrou's physical condition has improved, and she can finally get out of bed and walk around. However, when she expressed her desire to resume her daily activities, the people around her advised her to rest for a few more days. Even Ye Chenxuan, the usually majestic Emperor, showed unprecedented care and consideration.

"Yunrou, your health has just started to improve. There is no need to rush to get out of bed and walk around." Ye Chenxuan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Liu Yunrou's hand, his tone gentle but firm.

Liu Yunrou looked at Ye Chenxuan, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes. She knew that His Majesty, despite being so busy with affairs of state, was still so concerned about her health, which was not easy. "Your Majesty, I am much better now. I don't want to lie in bed anymore. I want to recover soon so that I can be with you."

Ye Chenxuan shook his head slightly and smiled, "Yun Rou, I appreciate your kindness. However, your health is the most important thing. I hope you can follow the advice of the imperial physician and rest well. As for the affairs of state, you don't have to worry about me as long as I am here."

The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs echoed this sentiment, expressing their hope that the Empress could rest for a while longer to ensure a full recovery. Liu Yunrou felt the warmth of their kindness, yet also felt somewhat helpless. She knew that these people who cared about her were doing so out of concern for her health, so she ultimately decided to follow their advice and rest for a few more days.

"Okay, since Your Majesty and everyone else thinks so, I'll rest for a few more days." Liu Yunrou compromised. She smiled and said to Ye Chenxuan, "However, Your Majesty, you also have to promise me not to overwork yourself. Besides handling state affairs, you must also take care of your health."

Ye Chenxuan smiled and nodded, their eyes meeting, filled with warmth and understanding. "In this deep palace, to have such a considerate partner is truly a great blessing in life. It makes one both love and pity."

Despite his busy daily life, Ye Chenxuan always remembered to bring Liu Yunrou a small surprise after a tiring day. Sometimes it was a delicate pastry, sometimes a novel painting, or even a unique piece of jewelry. Each little gift carried his deep affection and longing for Liu Yunrou.

On this day, Ye Chenxuan walked into Liu Yunrou's bedroom as usual, holding an exquisite brocade box in his hand. Liu Yunrou was pruning flowers by the window, and when she saw Ye Chenxuan come in, a gentle smile immediately bloomed on her face.

"Your Majesty, what good things have you brought today?" Liu Yunrou put down the scissors in her hand and walked forward.

Ye Chenxuan smiled as he opened the brocade box. Inside was a pair of delicate butterfly hairpins, their wings inlaid with tiny gemstones, sparkling brightly. "When I saw this pair of hairpins today, I thought of you. I feel they will definitely match your beauty."

Liu Yunrou's eyes flashed with surprise. She picked up the hairpin and gently stroked it, unable to let it go. "Your Majesty always dotes on me like this. I really don't know how to repay you."

Ye Chenxuan gently put his arm around Liu Yunrou's shoulders and said softly, "Yunrou, you are my most beloved queen. Everything I do is out of my deep love for you. In my heart, nothing is more important than you."

Liu Yunrou looked up at Ye Chenxuan, her eyes filled with emotion and happiness. "Your Majesty, I am willing to give everything for you. Whether in good times or bad, I will always be by your side."

The two smiled at each other, their unspoken understanding and deep affection filling the entire palace with warmth and love. In Ye Chenxuan's heart, Liu Yunrou was not only his queen, but also his empress. Ye Chenxuan picked up the hairpin and inserted it into Liu Yunrou's hair. Liu Yunrou's hair was as soft as silk, and paired with the pair of butterfly hairpins, she looked even more gentle and charming.

"It's really beautiful." Ye Chenxuan said softly.

Liu Yunrou lowered her head shyly, a happy smile on her lips.

At this moment, a pleasant bird song came from outside the window. Ye Chenxuan took Liu Yunrou's hand and walked to the window, admiring the beautiful scenery outside together.

"Yun Rou, look, spring has come, and everything is reviving." Ye Chenxuan said, "Just like our love, it has gone through the cold winter and is now even more steadfast and unyielding."

Liu Yunrou leaned in Ye Chenxuan's arms, feeling his warmth.

"May our love be like the flowers in spring, never withering." She prayed silently.

In the busy life of the palace, Ye Chenxuan was willing to personally cook for Liu Yunrou. This thoughtfulness undoubtedly made Liu Yunrou feel that she was the happiest queen in the world. On this day, Ye Chenxuan specially arranged time and went down to the imperial kitchen to prepare a special dinner for Liu Yunrou.

The chefs in the imperial kitchen seemed a little nervous when they saw the emperor personally preparing the meal, but Ye Chenxuan smiled and told them to relax. He wanted to complete this heartfelt gift alone. Ye Chenxuan chose a simple dish—steamed carp—because Liu Yunrou liked light flavors, and because this dish symbolized abundance year after year, symbolizing that their lives would become better and better.

Ye Chenxuan handled the ingredients carefully. Although his technique wasn't as skillful as a professional chef, every cut was filled with love for Liu Yunrou. He made several cuts in the fish, added slices of ginger and scallions, and then lightly rubbed a thin layer of salt on it before placing it in the steamer.

At dinner time, Liu Yunrou was invited to a pavilion in the Imperial Garden. The table had been set up, and there was only one dish on the table - steamed carp made by Ye Chenxuan himself. Liu Yunrou looked at the dish in front of her, her eyes full of surprise and emotion.

"Your Majesty, did you do this yourself?" Liu Yunrou asked in disbelief.

Ye Chenxuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Yunrou, I want you to taste my cooking skills. Although it may not be as good as the imperial chef, it is my sincere gift."

Liu Yunrou's eyes flushed slightly. She picked up her chopsticks and gently picked up a piece of fish and placed it in her mouth. The freshness and light salty aroma of the fish spread in her mouth. She closed her eyes and savored this unique taste. It was the taste of her husband, the taste of love.

"Your Majesty, this is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten, because it was made by Your Majesty yourself." Liu Yunrou said affectionately, "Becoming Your Majesty's queen is the greatest happiness in my life."

Ye Chenxuan looked at Liu Yunrou's satisfied smile, and his heart was filled with warmth. He knew that this simple dinner had become one of the most precious memories in their love story.

It was a quiet afternoon as Liu Yunrou sat in the courtyard, reminiscing about her childhood. Back then, she was still an innocent little girl, and Ye Chenxuan was just a young prince. She remembered that one day, Ye Chenxuan secretly took her to a small kitchen in the palace and mysteriously said he had a surprise for her.

At that time, despite his noble status, Ye Chenxuan possessed a childlike curiosity and enthusiasm. He personally made her a simple bowl of noodles. Although the noodles were a little soft and the broth a bit salty, in Liu Yunrou's memory, it was the most delicious food in the world. She ate with relish, while Ye Chenxuan watched her contentedly from the side, his eyes filled with doting.

Years passed, but that scene remained deeply etched in Liu Yunrou's mind. Today, Ye Chenxuan had become the ruler of a nation, and she, his queen. Despite the passage of time, Ye Chenxuan's love for her remained unchanged. Today, he personally prepared food for her once again: a bowl of steaming porridge, rich in ingredients and overflowing with fragrance.

Liu Yunrou picked up the bowl of porridge and took a sip. The porridge had a delicate texture and was just the right temperature. Every bite warmed her. She raised her head and looked at Ye Chenxuan, tears glistening in her eyes. "Your Majesty, do you still remember the noodles you made for me when I was a child? Back then, I knew you would be my lifelong support."

Ye Chenxuan smiled slightly, a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes: "Yun Rou, I have never forgotten those past events. At that time, I thought, how wonderful it would be if I could cook for you again one day. Now, I finally did it."

Liu Yunrou put down the bowl of porridge and held Ye Chenxuan's hand tightly: "Your Majesty, no matter in the past or now, you are the person I love the most. Being able to eat the food made by Your Majesty is the greatest happiness in my life."

As memories and reality intertwine, the two grow closer to each other. Those forgotten past events are now mentioned again, becoming an eternal chapter in their love story.

Liu Yunrou's heart was filled with shock and disbelief. She recalled the day when, as a young girl, she had stumbled upon that gentle boy at the market outside the palace. He was dressed simply, with a warm smile, and looked just like any other child. He had helped her when she was being bullied and shared some food with her, a delicacy she had never tasted before.

At the time, Liu Yunrou had no idea that this kind young man was actually the hidden Crown Prince Ye Chenxuan. She thought he was just an ordinary child, perhaps facing a difficult life, just like her. She was grateful for his help, but she never imagined that this young man, whom she had met by chance, would one day become her husband, let alone the Crown Prince of a nation.

As time passed, Liu Yunrou's fate changed dramatically. She was chosen as a concubine and entered the palace. Then, by chance, she saw that familiar smile again. This time, he was dressed in gorgeous clothes and stood before the throne. It suddenly dawned on her that the young man who had helped her was actually the country's future monarch.

"This all happened so suddenly. I never thought that the young man in the market would be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Yunrou sighed silently in her heart. Her mood was complicated and indescribable. She was surprised at her fate, but also grateful and admiring of Ye Chenxuan.

Ye Chenxuan watched Liu Yunrou's reaction and understood her shock. He walked over to her side, gently took her hand, and said tenderly, "Yunrou, fate is sometimes so unexpected. But I can promise you, whether I am the crown prince or the emperor, I will always protect and love you, just like the young man I was back then."

Liu Yunrou looked up at Ye Chenxuan, tears glistening in her eyes. She smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty, I believe you. Whether it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or Your Majesty, you are the person I respect most in my heart." From that moment on, Liu Yunrou knew that her fate was closely linked to Ye Chenxuan, and her heart would always belong to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was both her benefactor and her husband.

When Ye Chenxuan heard Liu Yunrou praise the food, a hint of pride and satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He looked at her tenderly, a doting smile on his face, and said softly, "Since the Queen finds it delicious, then please eat more. I hope to see the Queen in good health and always as beautiful as this."

Liu Yunrou lowered her head shyly, a faint blush on her cheeks. She replied softly, "Your Majesty loves me so much, how can I not obey your orders?" As she spoke, she picked up the chopsticks again, carefully picked up a piece of food, slowly put it into her mouth, and savored it carefully.

Ye Chenxuan watched Liu Yunrou's elegant meal, his heart filled with happiness. He knew that this simple meal, while not as luxurious as a palace banquet, carried with it his heartfelt love and affection for Liu Yunrou. He sat down beside her and ate with her. The two of them occasionally exchanged smiles, creating a warm and sweet atmosphere.

After the meal, Liu Yunrou personally held the kettle and poured a cup of tea for Ye Chenxuan, saying softly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to drink this tea with you. May our days be like this tea, sweet and refreshing."

Ye Chenxuan took the teacup and gently clinked it against Liu Yunrou's cup, making a crisp sound. He said affectionately: "The Queen and I drink this tea together. May our feelings be like the fragrance of this tea, timeless and never fade." At this moment, the emotions in the two people's hearts intertwined, and their relationship became deeper in simple daily interactions.
