Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart
Chapter 58: Tombs outside the Palace
After returning to her own palace, Feng Qingyue hurriedly wrote down Jun Lingyuan's favorite pastry, "Yingxuesu".
In the past two days, Feng Qingyue either took the initiative to find Jun Lingyuan or sent A Cui to invite him over.
"A Cui, go to Qianyuan Palace to see if His Majesty has returned from court. Tell him I'm waiting for him to have breakfast with me."
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why have you been so attentive to His Majesty these past two days?" A Cui asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Feng Qingyue coughed lightly and feigned anger: "How can you talk like that, little girl? When have I ever been mean to His Majesty? Don't ask any more questions, just go."
"Oh, okay." A Cui muttered softly as they walked, "The young lady was always indifferent to His Majesty before, but now she is so enthusiastic. It's really strange."
When Ah Cui arrived at Qianyuan Palace, Jun Lingyuan had just returned from court. Hearing Ah Cui's message, he didn't even have time to change into his court robes before hurriedly following Ah Cui to Yueli Palace.
"My beloved, I heard that you were waiting for me to have breakfast. Actually, there is no need to do so. Sometimes I leave court late and will let you go hungry." Jun Lingyuan said gently while looking at Feng Qingyue who was sitting at the table.
Feng Qingyue stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, how could that be? It is my great honor to be able to dine with Your Majesty."
Jun Lingyuan took Feng Qingyue's hand and asked her to sit down again, with a probing look in his eyes: "My beloved, do you have something to tell me?" Jun Lingyuan felt something strange in his heart. In the past two days, she had either given him gifts or shown him warmth, and today she was waiting for him to have breakfast. This was not like her usual self.
Feng Qingyue lowered her eyes and said after a moment's hesitation, "Your Majesty, I had some misunderstandings about you before. Your Majesty has been so kind to me, and I only hope to repay you by doing something that pleases you."
Jun Lingyuan thought to himself, "Could it be that she really has started to like me?" The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Feng Qingyue was about to speak: "Your Majesty..."
Jun Lingyuan interrupted her and chuckled softly, "My beloved, there's no need to be so deliberate. Just be yourself. Just don't chase me away next time."
"Your Majesty, today's breakfast includes your favorite dishes." Feng Qingyue cleverly changed the subject.
"I like it very much." Jun Lingyuan picked up a large piece of "Jade Roll" and put it into his mouth, praising it, "It's delicious."
"As long as Your Majesty likes it." Feng Qingyue silently memorized the dish.
After the two of them finished their breakfast, Jun Lingyuan took Feng Qingyue out of the palace. He did not tell them their destination, and Feng Qingyue did not ask any further questions.
Soon, the carriage stopped, and Jun Lingyuan pulled Feng Qingyue down. Feng Qingyue looked at the cemetery, surrounded by pines and cypresses, a quiet and solemn scene. She understood what was going on. She silently followed Jun Lingyuan's footsteps and arrived at the tomb.
Jun Lingyuan gently put down the things he had brought, then took them out one by one, carefully placing them in front of the tomb, and then slowly knelt down. Seeing this, Feng Qingyue also knelt down.
"Mother, I'm here to see you. I'm not coming alone this time. I've brought someone with me. I like her," Jun Lingyuan turned to look at Feng Qingyue, his eyes full of affection. "So I brought her to see you. I believe you will bless us."
Feng Qingyue was stunned. He said he liked her? This sudden confession made her feel a little overwhelmed. In this situation, she seemed unable to refute it.
Jun Lingyuan told his mother many of his inner thoughts, and Feng Qingyue listened quietly beside him without saying a word.
On the way back to the palace, Feng Qingyue couldn't help but ask the question in her heart: "Your Majesty, why wasn't your mother buried in the imperial mausoleum?"
Jun Lingyuan sighed slightly, his expression somewhat gloomy: "My mother's background is not good. She is not originally from the Beiming Dynasty. She stayed here only because she fell in love with my father. Later, when Ling Ye and I were born, she could not leave.
However, the court officials and the royal family would not allow someone with an unknown background to be buried in the royal ancestral tomb. When she was alive, she was only the lowest-ranking concubine in my father's palace. How could the royal family allow her to be buried in the imperial tomb after her death?
Feng Qingyue looked at Jun Lingyuan, her eyes full of sympathy. She gently held Jun Lingyuan's hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't be too sad. If your mother is in heaven, she will definitely hope that Your Majesty can be well."
Jun Lingyuan held her hand in return and nodded slightly: "My beloved concubine is right."
When the carriage drove onto the bustling street, Feng Qingyue looked at the lively scene outside and felt a little nostalgic in her heart, thinking how nice it would be to go out for a walk.
"Stop the car and pick us up later." After Jun Lingyuan gave orders to the guards, he took Feng Qingyue out of the carriage.
"Come on, I'll take you for a walk." Jun Lingyuan took Feng Qingyue's hand and walked forward.
Feng Qingyue felt as if a little deer was beating wildly in her heart.
The two of them came to a small stall. Feng Qingyue, wearing a mask, playfully called out to Jun Lingyuan, "Lingyuan, who do I look like?"
Jun Lingyuan looked at Feng Qingyue's mischievous appearance, and was filled with joy. He reached out and gently tapped Feng Qingyue's head: "Qingyue is so naughty."
When the two returned to the palace, night had already fallen. That night, both of them were immersed in beautiful dreams.
Feng Qingyue was still asleep when she heard a commotion outside. She called out in confusion, "A Cui, what's going on outside?"
"Miss, it's Princess Yelu Yan. She said she wants to see you."
"The servants said you were still sleeping, so she started yelling."
When Feng Qingyue heard that it was Yelu Yan, she instantly woke up and hurriedly got up to wash up.
When Yelu Yan came in, Feng Qingyue was sitting on the chaise longue.
"Your Highness, what about what you promised me? The two-day deadline is up." Yelu Yan said straight to the point.
Feng Qingyue picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Of course I won't forget what I promised the princess. But it seems inappropriate for the princess to bring people here to disturb my sleep so early in the morning."
Yelu Yan crossed her arms and said disdainfully, "What do you mean it's so early in the morning? Don't you see what time it is?"
Feng Qingyue put down the teacup and responded calmly: "I have the final say on the time in this palace. If I am not awake, it is early morning."
"Okay, I understand. If you give me the thing, I won't bother you anymore." As she said that, Yelu Yan stretched out her hand to ask Feng Qingyue for it.
Feng Qingyue took out a small notebook from her sleeve and handed it to Yelu Yan, then gestured to see her off: "Princess, please go ahead."
After Yelu Yan left, Feng Qingyue wondered if what she did was inappropriate.
But they were the hero and heroine, and she would be returning soon, so this world had nothing to do with her. Thinking of this, her mind suddenly became clear.
