My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth
Chapter 116 Don’t Touch the Tiger’s Beard
Seeing that the queen was silent, the emperor deliberately teased her, "Since you don't say anything, I will go to Gyeongbokgung Palace. It just so happens that I haven't been to see Yingying for several days."
When the Queen heard the Emperor say that he was going to Gyeongbokgung Palace to see Xia Yingying, she suddenly felt a little unhappy.
She shifted her position and sat up straight, then reluctantly said, "Your Majesty, please go if you wish. As for the engagement between Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, it has been almost completely arranged in the past few days, and Your Majesty has confirmed it. Anyway, I am old and faded, Xia promised her beauty, and Concubine Ling is now pregnant. Naturally, I cannot compare to them."
"Oh, oh, oh, it seems that there is another meaning in what you said." The emperor stood up and walked to the front of the queen. He stretched out his ring finger and gently tapped the queen's forehead, then gently slid it to her chin, and then lifted her chin to meet her eyes.
The Queen turned away and said, "I will not see you off."
When the emperor saw the queen getting jealous because of Xia Yingying, he suddenly remembered when she first entered the palace.
"Alright, I haven't visited her at Gyeongbokgung Palace for several days. I'll go there after I'm done with Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei." The emperor said as he sat back in his seat. "To be honest, Gyeongbokgung Palace is too far away. We should move her residence out of the way."
"Yes, I will discuss it with Concubine Ling and then tell the Empress Dowager after confirmation. If the Empress Dowager thinks it's okay, then it's fine."
The queen spoke word by word.
After that, the two of them sat down and continued chatting for a while.
Xiaoyanzi and Xiao Jian did not go back to Shufangzhai directly at this moment.
Instead, they stood in the yard and talked.
"Brother, why don't you want to enter the palace and be an official? Nowadays, many people are trying their best to get an official position, but you are different from others." Xiaoyanzi was still struggling with Xiao Jian's rejection of the emperor just now.
She felt that if her brother could have an official position.
It will be much more convenient for them to meet then.
Xiao Jian reached out and touched Xiao Yanzi's head, explaining with a smile: "Silly Yanzi, don't you know the saying that living with the king is like living with a tiger? And there's also a saying that you can't touch a tiger's beard."
Xiaoyanzi looked at Xiao Jian in confusion and asked, "Brother, please say something I can understand. I'm completely confused by what you're saying."
"Just remember that the palace is nice, but it's ultimately a place where people can be taken advantage of." Xiao Jian reminded him, "No matter how good the emperor is to you, he's still the emperor. Even though he treats you well now, he has his temper. As long as you can make him happy, everything will be fine. But if you make a mistake one day, he'll probably accuse you of something he didn't even know existed."
Xiaoyanzi was stunned by what Xiao Jian said.
Before she could react.
Xia Yingying from Gyeongbokgung Palace suddenly walked in carrying two revolving lanterns. When Xia Yingying saw Xiaoyanzi and Xiao Jian were there, she looked a little surprised, but this surprise only flashed by.
Xiaoyanzi bowed to Xia Yingying.
Xia Yingying quickly bowed to Xiao Yanzi and walked over to them. "What a coincidence that the princess and hero Xiao are here. I couldn't find the way to Shufangzhai, so I came directly to Kunning Palace to find the queen."
Xia Yingying had just finished speaking.
Rong Mama just walked out of the room.
I felt curious when I saw Xia Yingying holding two lanterns in her hands.
"How come Miss Xia is free to come here today?" Aunt Rong looked at Xia Yingying indifferently. "It seems that our queen didn't summon you today. Is there something you want to do?"
Xia Yingying waved the lantern in front of Rong Mama.
Then he looked back at Xiaoyanzi and continued, "Actually, I came here specifically to see the Empress. I knew Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were getting engaged tomorrow, and I figured I didn't have anything I couldn't show off, so I took advantage of my free time today and made these two revolving lanterns myself."
Xiaoyanzi looked at the revolving lantern in her hand, so she hurried forward to take it from her and began to admire it carefully.
"Little Swallow..." Xia Yingying had just started to speak when she was suddenly interrupted by the queen who walked out of the room.
The queen seemed to be smiling on the surface, but in Xia Yingying's eyes, it seemed as if the queen wanted to eat her alive.
"Xia promised, you should call them Princess Huanzhu and Princess Mingzhu," the Queen reminded with a smile before changing the subject, "Just now, the Emperor and I heard in the room that you made two revolving lanterns to give to Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei?"
The Queen took the Emperor's arm and walked towards Xia Yingying.
Xia Yingying quickly bowed and said, "Your servant pays respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. I pay my respects to the Empress. May the Empress live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
When the emperor was about to step forward to help Xia Yingying up, he suddenly remembered that the queen was still there, so he had to hold back.
The emperor raised his hand and said, "Get up."
The Queen winked at Madam Rong and instructed, "Madam Rong, why don't you hurry and prepare some snacks and canapés." Then the Queen looked at Xia Yingying and continued, "Sister, why don't you stay in Kunning Palace for dinner tonight? Xiaoyanzi and Xiao Jian should also stay for dinner before leaving."
Xiaoyanzi and Xiao Jian shook their heads quickly after hearing this.
They are not stupid.
In this situation, how could they dare to stay here for dinner?
And I’m afraid I won’t be able to digest this dinner.
Xiaoyanzi said, "Empress Dowager, my brother and I will not disturb you any more. We will go back to Shufangzhai first." As Xiaoyanzi spoke, she walked up to Xia Yingying and thanked her with two revolving lanterns in her hands.
"Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't despise it." Xia Yingying said, "The other one is for Princess Mingzhu."
"You are humble."
Say it.
Xiaoyanzi took Xiao Jian back to Shufangzhai.
Ziweisiya, Jinsuo and the other two people gathered around the two revolving lanterns and observed them carefully, feeling extremely curious.
"Isn't this just an ordinary lantern?" said Jinsuo.
