Chapter 199: Minister’s Daughter
When everyone had left, Empress Dowager Lu picked up an almond.
“Call the people from the Pear Garden over.”
The head of the Pear Garden Instructor stood right next to him and bowed at the word and walked over, “Empress Dowager.”
Empress Dowager Lu pinched the almonds and looked down with her eyes, “The piece that the Emperor just played, who taught him?”
“Reporting back to the Empress Dowager, the tune played by the Emperor and taught by the Pear Garden, I also heard this song for the first time. However, His Majesty used to compose his own tunes from time to time, so I think this is also made by the royal hand.”
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Lu glanced towards him.
The head teacher thought that he couldn’t distinguish the meaning of this look, and a few points of fear surfaced on his face, “I don’t dare to lie, I have been in the Pear Garden for many years, and I have heard countless pieces, and I really haven’t heard this one before.”
Empress Dowager Lu’s gaze lingered on her face for a long time before turning back to the bottom.
On the table of Marquis Jingnan’s residence below, Yu Qingping was no longer there.
……
Zhao Su led Hua Wanyong out of the Hall of Imperial Harmony and went straight to the Qianqing Palace.
Halfway there, Hua Wanyong couldn’t help herself, “That whistle doesn’t know what it has to do with the Emperor, why do I feel that the Emperor is a little different after Yu Qingping blew it?”
Flower Thinking Rong had always been beside Zhao Su, so what Zhao Su saw she basically saw as well.
This also proved that Zhao Su’s earlier feeling was not an illusion.
“There might be, right? I don’t know.”
Probably because he had too much contact with the emperor recently, Zhao Su subconsciously thought that the emperor’s life was two points and one line, apart from the bedchamber it was the imperial court, which was boring.
Based on his earlier treatment of Yu Qingping’s attitude, also simply did not think that she this salted fish can still turn over, but the fact is so bizarre happened, with a whistle, Yu Qingping re-captured the emperor’s attention, as if back to the road to adulterous consort!
It is really a man’s heart, the bottom of the sea needle.
But the emperor around the palace people flock, even a bath are served, he still has what secret?
Earlier obviously because of that whistle and in the bottom of the heart set off huge waves, favor to pretend as if nothing had happened, in front of the crowd is not yet asked out.
“Zhao guard how come back?”
When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the five blessings of the palace guards greeted him. Zhao Su to explain the purpose of the five blessings, but said the emperor did not come back, or a small eunuch said that the emperor out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony went to the Jingren Palace side.
Zhao Su realized that he was looking for the wrong place. So he took Hua Qianrong to Jingren Palace.
Jingren Palace here did not live, one east and one west planted two large wisteria, also planted some flowers and grasses next to it, weekdays Lu Empress Dowager is fine, the various palaces walking around, so the two wisteria on one side of the table and chairs, on the other side there is a small qin platform. At this time the daylight has been slightly oblique, sunlight from the flowers and leaves between the squeeze in, forming a path of golden awns, the emperor is sitting under the several paths of golden awns, end of the cup of tea.
There was no one in the courtyard, only the occasional clinking of cups and glasses when the low but clear sound.
But soon there is a little more sound, from the courtyard door came footsteps not tightly and not slowly, not light and not heavy, just so that the emperor can hear, but not to arrogant alarm. Moreover, in the distance from the emperor is still two feet outside the flower tree, the footsteps have stopped.
Not in the palace for a long time, will not hold so good.
The emperor put the tea bowl cover, eyes looking ahead: “Come in.”
The person who stopped slightly lifted his breath, lifted his step and walked in: “Your Majesty.”
The emperor slightly sideways head: “You seem to have something to find me.”
Yu Qingping chest rise and fall, seems to drum up the courage, knees a bent kneel down: “Emperor, subject daughter still want to go back to the palace!”
“There is no shortage of people.”
“Emperor ten years ago, you want to find people, already do not want to find?”
A cold light diffused from the emperor’s half-lidded eyes, “You know ten years ago?”
Yu Qingping swallowed her saliva: “My daughter has heard something since, since Yanping County Lord ……”
The emperor’s gaze was chilly, walked to her, “Then you are threatening me?”
“My daughter would not dare to die!” Yu Qingping kowtowed heavily, and then said: “I do not dare to hide from the emperor, with my daughter’s origin, now in urgent need of a favor to maintain the decency, and I am the Empress Dowager’s personal gift of flowers and moon order of the martial arts, I should not be confined to the inner house! Even Sister Su can have the opportunity to serve the country, I believe I can definitely do more for the court and for the Emperor!
“Your Majesty!” Yu Qingping bit her lower lip, reached out and grabbed the corner of the dragon robe, her voice turned mournful, “My daughter, my daughter only wants to be with the Emperor, loyal to the Emperor! Just because this thing I happen to know some, so I dare to put forward for the emperor to share the worry!”
Under the shadow of the sun, he is so honorable and unapproachable, a look can subdue her. But even if she was subdued by him, she didn’t care, she needed his attitude too much!
Directly become the queen is not easy, so she first to return to the forbidden guards, as long as the return, she can find the opportunity to stay in the palace!
And she believes that this clue from the Yanping County Lord, is able to impress the emperor!
Under the trellis became extraordinarily quiet.
Standing at the palace entrance of Jingren Palace, she could just see the silhouettes under the trellis, and the emperor didn’t bring any entourage with him, making it possible for Zhao Su to enter the place unhindered.
It seemed like she should leave, as soon as she arrived, she saw Yu Qingping pulling on the emperor’s dragon robe and making woozy noises, a scene that appeared to be not something she should be watching.
She turned around with the kite in hand, but was abruptly startled!
In front of her stood a person with a somber face, clenching his fists until his knuckles turned white, but it was Liang Ying who had also arrived here at some point!
“Squire Liang ……”
After meeting such a disliked face, it seemed unreasonable not to greet him.
Liang Ying’s body was tense like a balloon that could explode at any time, he pursed his lips and glanced at Zhao Su, then walked out without a word.
“Squire Liang!”
Zhao Su subconsciously chased after him for two steps, and she stopped when she saw him step onto the hipped porch.
And Liang Ying walked a few steps closer, stopping his feet for a moment before turning around as well.
“How long have you been here?” He asked.
Zhao Su sighed, “You’re not trying to kill me to silence me, are you?”
Liang Ying rolled her eyes.
Zhao Su walked forward, “Did you feel like the dream in your heart was shattered all of a sudden in that instant just now? Your dream goddess, who was so noble and arrogant in your heart, was ignoring you, but she was slavishly bowing down to another man, who was also the Emperor, someone you couldn’t and didn’t dare to compete with?”
Liang Ying glared at her, “You knew all about it from the beginning to the end?”
“I didn’t say anything, you mustn’t label me as a backstabber.”
Liang Ying tightened her brows, “Why are you here?”
“Oh,” Zhao Su looked at the sky, “I just came out to get some air.”
Here she slanted her gaze towards Liang Ying again, “Since Squire Liang chased me here, he must be very unwilling to just walk away, right? Miss Yu is studious, capable, and pretty, so I wonder if the Emperor will be soft-hearted and simply keep her in the palace? Aren’t you curious, Squire Liang?”
