The night is falling, the palace, the royal study.
In the bright golden palace, the noble empress is wearing a dragon robe, like a mature and beautiful scenery of a rich autumn harvest. She is sitting behind the imperial desk on the high platform reading the memorial.
As the night outside the palace grew darker, Yonghua Guirong gradually became a little absent-minded, and several times he resisted the sudden thought of mobilizing his spiritual consciousness outside.
The four young court ladies who were waiting around him with pens, ink, paper, and inkstones all keenly noticed this detail and did not dare to disturb him for a moment.
At a certain moment, the third-ranked palace maid named "Zhi" suddenly noticed a faint white light coming from the small purse around her waist, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
The power of her spiritual consciousness quickly read the content of the message, and she immediately stepped forward gently and took a small step.
He turned around, bowed to his superior, and reported respectfully in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Young Master entered the palace alone and is now heading towards the inner palace."
Hearing the sound, Gu Cangyue immediately closed the border memorial in her hand, and her beautiful, slightly dull golden eyes instantly glowed with a faint look, and a bright and rare doting smile appeared on her noble and graceful face.
Afraid that her extraneous behavior might lead to misunderstandings from her nephew, she tried her best to resist the urge to glance outside.
As if she had suddenly become energetic, the lady immediately stood up gracefully and gave an order in a low voice.
"Take it all away, move to the bedroom, and look at it later when you have time."
The other three young palace maids immediately stepped forward after hearing the words, and agreed with Zhi'er in unison, and then quickly and carefully packed up the memorials on the imperial desk.
At the same time, another part of the inner palace.
With the imperial token given by the empress before, He Gu traveled smoothly and was walking leisurely and slowly towards the quiet dormitory that he remembered.
Different from the previous times, this time he was always alone, without any palace maids following him, and he felt as comfortable as if he were at home.
If there were any acquaintances around at this time, they would definitely notice the difference in him entering the palace this time.
Perhaps it was due to the incredible experience last time, but now his mentality has changed greatly.
Although she is still brooding about what happened to her family back then, and still has deep doubts about the Dawu Dynasty, she no longer has that strange and overly defensive feeling towards the lady she is about to meet.
The reason for this unusual transformation is actually quite simple.
In his opinion, given the status of the empress and the huge disparity in strength between the two, there was no reason or even the slightest necessity for the other party to resort to such low-level tactics as a beauty trap, which would be extremely self-destructive. to him.
No matter what the motivation is, the supreme arrogance of the ruler will never be reduced to this!
On the contrary, from the moment when the mysterious woman in black came to help him at a critical moment three years ago with the emperor's decree, until today, the noble lady's silent and special care for him, which is extremely close to him, all reflect her extraordinary unilateral treatment of him. Strong kindness.
The degree of realism is enough to shake people's hearts.
He knew that the internal relations of a huge force like the royal family were always complicated and not monolithic. In addition, he had also heard about the bloodshed that the empress had against her fellow clan members when she ascended the throne.
He immediately realized that there must be important information that was not known yet.
Even if the kindness towards him is only due to the so-called "resemblance to the son of an old friend" and not to the He family back then, there is no doubt that his true identity has not been noticed now.
That is to say, it is safe before then.
Moreover, although it is not possible to use the secret stone to directly identify the noble lady with strong luck from friends and foes, if it is as he inferred that there is an inseparable master-servant relationship between Yun Ying and the empress, it is still possible to get a glimpse of the leopard. It was enough for him to let go of most of his wariness.
Revenge is revenge, and you must not wrong any good person, otherwise you will be different from low-level animals without ideas!
Therefore, he had to make some changes in his attitude, which created a rather contradictory difference between the Dawu Dynasty and the empress personally.
Of course, if one day it is confirmed that the empress is also one of the culprits, then he will give up what he owes.
The kindness must be repaid first.
I will still resolutely take revenge in the future, and I will never hesitate or allow for negotiation!
I thought that I had used my best judgment in advance, and even if I was unexpectedly dealt with in the end, I was convinced and accepted it.
He can still afford to gamble in such a disparity situation where the chances of winning are far greater than the chances of losing!
Don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use people when you are suspicious.
In the same way, believers do not doubt, and doubters do not believe.
Finally, and selfishly, he really longed for the doting feeling like a close relative that the noble lady had shown several times, and he always had an irresistible urge to keep it as his own for a long time.
I am really willing to take some risks for this!
Well, no matter how rational a person is in life, there will be times when he cannot control something and becomes irrational.
He always feels that as long as he is not confused when he is in such a rash situation, he is well aware of the costs and consequences of his decisions, and he is willing to admit defeat in the end.
This is true for the noble lady now, and it was also true for Master Bingshan, whom he respected the most before, "his filial piety has deteriorated".
The familiar road passed by several majestic palaces, and while thinking seriously, it didn't take long for him to arrive at his destination.
Before he could stop, the palace maid who was already waiting at the palace door immediately turned around, gently opened the palace door, and respectfully led him in.
He Gu recognized her as the palace maid who sent him out of the palace twice before. He vaguely remembered that her name was Mo'er and that she was a girl with a somewhat reserved personality.
She is slightly older than the two sisters in his house, probably in her late twenties.
He said his usual thank you and walked in calmly.
When his body completely entered the dormitory, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Just like every time I went to the small stone hut at the peak when I was on Wujin Peak, I suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment as if I were meeting an elder close to me. The inexplicable overlap of time and space was very strange.
In the luxurious outer hall filled with the rich fragrance of the boudoir, the other three young palace ladies who had met before but did not know their names were waiting quietly on one side. When they saw him coming in, they immediately greeted him respectfully.
In a daze, He Gusheng had the feeling of returning to the Qingshan City family, and he immediately smiled at them subconsciously.
Because every time I entered the palace, I saw these four maids here, so I naturally understood that they are the first-class maids who are most closely served by the empress.
Mo'er led the young master behind him to the jade wall in the hall, and then gently stopped.
He turned around and asked in a low voice with great respect: "Sir, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the inner hall."
Looking at the plump, lazy and enchanting lying posture of the noble and beautiful woman hidden behind the golden gauze curtain between the dragon and phoenix reliefs on the jade wall in the hall, He Gu couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm down.
Repeatedly reminding himself not to think wildly, he nodded and walked in alone without any further pause.
The aroma in the inner hall is naturally better than that in the outer hall, with clear distinction and extremely refreshing.
As he entered the inner hall, the activity of the secret stone in his body to absorb the pressure of luck emanating from the empress became more and more intense, and the power of divine consciousness in the sea of consciousness also grew stronger.
As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. After all, they have only met a few times so far. Although the progress is rapid, it is difficult to say that there will be no changes in the future.
Out of his instinctive caution, He Gu didn't dare to take the initiative and be casual for a while.
Without blatantly looking up, he followed the necessary etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, stopped and stood at a certain distance in front of the bed, and then bowed properly.
In view of the noble lady's repeated explanations last time, he had an idea and compromised the etiquette. The current salute was only slightly formal, not overly formal, and just right.
He bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty..."
Just to cover up the urgent fact that she had just rushed back, the noble empress pretended to have been bedridden for a long time.
The moment her nephew stepped into the inner hall, she slowly turned her plump body lying inward.
The golden phoenix eyes stared lovingly at the thin young man who walked in. He was so beautiful and graceful.
Zhuyou smiled softly with his elders in his mouth.
She fully expected that the young man would take the initiative to call out "Auntie" without giving any orders as she wished. After waiting for a few seconds, the young man unexpectedly said "Your Majesty" the last thing she wanted to hear. "Character.
The noble lady who was secretly looking forward to it and thinking that her last effort should achieve great results suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her, and she couldn't help but feel slightly unhappy.
The sudden frustration couldn't help but make her, who had always been a strategist, feel very angry, mixed with deep helplessness.
I was afraid when I was a child, and I am afraid now...
Auntie, you're not that big ferocious beast that eats people. Are you a rat? Why are you always afraid of me when I see you?
Gu Cangyue strongly felt that it was necessary to continue the forced correction and guidance.
As soon as a word popped out of He Gu's mouth, he immediately felt that the emotion in front of him suddenly became extremely wrong. He immediately stopped talking and his mind quickly began to check for gaps and fill in the gaps.
After contacting the title he was about to shout subconsciously, he suddenly realized the problem, secretly thinking that he was really careless just now.
He hurriedly changed his words and said with a hint of unfamiliarity: "Greetings to the Emperor's aunt..."
As if he had hit the target, his emotions calmed down immediately after he finished speaking.
You can still vaguely feel the lady's sudden joy and obvious satisfaction.
She didn't expect that a simple and inconspicuous change of title would be so important to the noble lady. He Gu couldn't help but feel touched, and the slight tension that had arisen in her heart after entering the dormitory also inexplicably disappeared at this moment.
His shoulders suddenly relaxed greatly, and by some strange coincidence, a flash of light flashed across his mind, and he suddenly had the sudden urge to "take advantage of the situation."
With a thought and action, he immediately further completed the current identity prefix, and then went on to say hello again.
His mood was slightly uneasy, but his tone boldly took on a hint of obedience, and his words became extremely intimate and ambiguous.
With a little impulse to test, he regarded himself as a close relative of the noble lady. He didn't care about anything and said in a low voice: "Li'er, please give your regards to the imperial aunt!"
Seeing that just a little bit of annoyance can produce immediate and significant results, the empress undoubtedly became more determined about what she had just thought.
Without waiting for her to respond to the previous sentence, she saw her nephew take the initiative to show his proper behavior as a junior for the first time, and the next sentence to greet her again started with the familiar "Li'er" for the first time, which had already softened. The Emperor's heart couldn't help but be extremely pleasantly surprised.
Feeling the warmth of the soul jade in the deepest part of the valley on his chest, he recalled how his little nephew, who was making milky sounds, greeted him in such a weak voice.
Suddenly, the noble empress' beautiful phoenix eyes could not control the mist of sadness.
"Li'er..."
Lu Lu murmured unconsciously, and the beautiful lady burst into tears with joy. She immediately half stood up, raised her slender lubricant hand that was gently placed on her thigh, and gestured towards the young man who was standing blankly. trick.
His tone became extremely soft, and he coaxed naturally: "Come and sit closer to the imperial aunt, okay?"
There was a hint of begging and discussion in his words.
The astonishingly close response in an instant made He Gu feel a lot in his heart. He was just trying it out on a whim, and he had no idea that there would be such an unexpected and great result.
At the moment, he no longer cared about the condition of the Tianji Stone in his body, and walked over as he was told.
Although he looked a little shy, the noble empress felt more and more love in her heart. Looking at the boy's ordinary face, which was not his true appearance, she tried her best to endure the urgent thought of ordering him to restore his true appearance.
I tried my best to comfort myself in my heart. There will be a better and suitable time in the future, so I can't be anxious now.
Turning around and sitting on the edge of the royal bed, He Gu immediately smelled the lady's unique body fragrance that was infinitely closer to ripeness, and was inevitably distracted for a moment.
Although he still wasn't staring directly at her at this time, when he walked directly to the bed, his peripheral vision had already caught almost all of the noble and enchanting body on the bed, without revealing any part of it.
The noble lady still wears the same goose-yellow exquisite round-neck palace dress as always.
The appearance is elegant and the scale is full and attractive.
Compared to the last time, this time it was facing him head-on.
The silk-thin goose-yellow dress that falls tightly against the body due to gravity perfectly wraps up the extremely undulating beautiful waist and the pair of slender and overlapping legs, perfectly showing off the beautiful curves of the body lying lazily on its side.
Especially the area between the long legs. I wonder if the owner had turned over unconsciously before, and by chance, a part of the thin skirt was sandwiched between them.
This not only makes the beautiful contours of the legs more obvious, but also creates a tempting valley scene that makes people think about it.
Thanks to the inward half-flexion of the lady's knee joints, the two beady feet that should have been completely hidden by the goose-yellow dress were now fully exposed on the soft bed.
Like the fertile soil in early spring, young branches are pulled out, creating two sections of beautiful jade white under the long skirt that are suddenly eye-catching.
The jade beads are like the fresh and plump lychees that have just been peeled off and presented on the exquisite dinner plate. The large and small ones are exquisite, and they are mysteriously appealing to the appetite.
Even though it was the second time he saw it, he couldn't help but take another look.
Although the goose-yellow palace dress does not have the supreme nobility and sparkle when wearing a dragon robe, it has a noble and intellectual temperament that is slightly approachable, and is extremely elegant.
Maybe it was because He Gu had a preconceived impression of this lady when he met her for the first time and saw her wearing this one.
Afraid that he might unknowingly reveal inappropriate behavior, he quickly calmed down.
Seeing that the boy sat down obediently, the lady's turbulent mood gradually calmed down, and her upper body lay back gracefully on the bed again.
Then she saw that he was still a little reserved and at a loss, looking like a piece of wood, so she had no choice but to take the initiative to wake him up.
She closed her phoenix eyes and pretended to be asleep, and said softly: "Give my aunt a squeeze. Let's talk for a while. If it's too late, you can go back."
Despite his previous experience, He Gu still felt deeply that such a scene was too dreamy and very unreal.
What made him feel extremely contemptuous of himself was that he actually acted on the spot without hesitation.
Compared to the night before, this time there was not even a trace of hesitation.
He had the courage to take a look at the lady on the imperial bed, whose beauty was astonishing to the heavens and Yong Hua's peerless eyes were closed, and he shamelessly defended himself in his mind.
It’s definitely not because I don’t have enough concentration, it’s just a normal reaction and human nature!
As long as he is a normal man, it will be the same for anyone who comes, unless he is a eunuch...
Thinking like this shamelessly, He Gu, who had just relaxed, suddenly felt no burden at all.
What just happened also made him suddenly realize something. The lady seemed to like... his junior-like... well-behavedness.
In other words, you can't resist his "coquettishness"? !
As soon as he thought about it, he couldn't control it. He Gu couldn't help but want to find an opportunity to verify it for himself.
Seeing that the time was running out, he secretly kept this bold idea in his mind for the time being.
