Chapter 180(1/2)
At noon, Wan Qiqing ordered people to prepare lunch in Nianxi Palace. Since everyone in the palace knew about Mai Mai's existence, he no longer had to hide it.
During those days in Prince Qing's Mansion, he had long observed that she didn't like meat dishes and only liked some light vegetarian food. Therefore, when she first arrived at the palace yesterday, he gave instructions to the imperial dining room that her diet in the future should be mainly light.
.She burned the luxurious things given by the emperor, and he had someone prepare a few new sets of her preferred blue shirts; she was happy to be quiet, so he issued an order not to allow anyone to disturb Nian Xi Palace.
In short, as long as she likes it, he will cater to her. Just one day has passed, and it is no longer a secret that the emperor loves Concubine Yanbei.
Looking at the table full of delicacies, Mai Mai flipped a few things casually without much interest. Wan Qiqing sent his servants back, took off his somewhat dazzling dragon robe, and sat next to her just like he did in Prince Qing's palace.
He brought her some delicious dishes.
"In the early morning, I had already issued an order to prepare for the grand ceremony of conferring a queen. Although I want to marry you as soon as possible, I don't want to let you go hastily. After all, being conferred a queen is a big deal, and it must be done in accordance with the laws of our ancestors." In front of her.
, he completely put down the majesty and airs of the emperor, chatting as if it were commonplace. His stern face always had an intoxicating smile.
"Before that, it is necessary to send the army northward. The battle with Yanbei must be fought."
Mai Mai ate one bite after another, as if in a fugue, turning a deaf ear to his words.
"Your Majesty, King Yan is waiting outside the palace."
After hearing the report, Wan Qiqing slowly put down his chopsticks, raised his lower jaw and stared at Mai Mai, "Jun'er, the fifth brother doesn't lead troops, is it because of you?" When he didn't get any answer, he smiled and said,
"Hey, what should I do with you? I really want to hide you from other men." He stood up slowly, put on his dragon robe again, walked behind her and put his arms around her shoulders, and kissed her
He kissed her gently on the cheek and said, "I'll come over later."
He closed the door and left Nianxi Palace with the people.
Mai Mai pushed the bowl and chopsticks forward, stroking his slightly frowning brow...
"Sister Xuanyun," Xiao Yu pushed the door open and closed it cautiously, "The emperor has sent several servants to visit Xigong. Sister Xuanyun must be careful in everything from now on."
"Ok, I know."
Pretending to be crazy is not a long-term solution, but it will allow Wan Qiqing to temporarily relax his nerves towards her. She will not have to break up and be forced to face emotional problems. However, he should be tired if he wants to make her his queen.
As for the battle between Yanbei Kingdom and Qisa Dynasty, as Wan Qiqing said, it must be fought.
Xiao Yu called the eunuchs outside and removed all the dishes from the table. The two rough eunuchs were sorting things out with clumsy hands and feet, and peeked at Maimai from time to time.
"Hey, what are you looking at!" Xiao Yu patted one of them on the head angrily. Needless to say, the emperor must have sent them to monitor them! It's disgusting to watch!
The beaten eunuch's dark face turned red, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look over again.
Mai Mai walked out of the living room nonchalantly. There were countless pairs of eyes in the palace. Even if Wan Qiqing didn't send anyone to monitor her, her every move would fall into the eyes of someone who was interested.
She always felt very depressed in the house. Perhaps she was used to living in the grassland, and the high walls on all sides made her breathing difficult.
"Xuanyun!"
Wan Qiyan walked around the corner of the main hall with long strides. After seeing Mai Mai, he ran over in a few steps, grabbed her shoulders, and looked left and right. There was both surprise and joy on his handsome and extraordinary face, "
You’re not dead, you’re still alive! That’s great!”
Mai Mai hurriedly concealed the excitement in her eyes. She was really happy to see him here.
"Uh, see Flame King." Xiao Yu didn't know the inside story and was afraid that Mai Mai would get into trouble, so he hurriedly took Mai Mai from his hand and blocked him behind him.
…”
Wan Qiyan waved his hands unmoved, "Fourth brother gives his orders, and I will do my thing."
Even though he said he didn't care, he was so frank that you couldn't hear the disrespect and contempt in his words. This may be the reason why Wan Qiqing can tolerate him so much. Compared with those who respect him on the surface and make small moves secretly, Wan Qiyan is indeed
It's so upright that it makes people angry.
"But, but..." Xiao Yu had no idea about this Flame King who even the emperor dared not look down upon.
"It's nothing, I won't eat your master." After saying that, he pushed Xiao Yu away and took Mai Mai to sit down on the wicker chair with the best light in the courtyard.
"Xuanyun, I am so happy to see that you are safe and sound!"
Wan Qiyan looked at Mai Mai closely. Except for a few minor scars, he was in very good health. Then he said with relief, "You are really the reincarnation of the Dragon Girl. Even God can't help you."
I can't bear to see you hurt." Looking at Mai Mai who lowered his head and said nothing, he smiled softly and said, "Xuanyun, that's fine. You don't have to face those complicated things."
His eyes flashed, and Mai Mai sighed with a half-smile, and after a long time he said, "Everyone in the palace has indeed become a spirit." Presumably, Wan Qiqing is not a fool either.
"Haha." Wan Qiyan laughed heartily and was in a surprisingly good mood. He winked at Mai Mai slyly and said, "Your illness cannot be rushed. It needs to be treated slowly. Just stay here with peace of mind."
Rest here, no matter what happens outside, it has nothing to do with you."
Mai Mai raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to look at him, "What about you? Are you going on an expedition?"
After hearing her question, Wan Qiyan gradually fell silent, and after a while he replied, "I will not forget my promise."
"Haha," Mai Mai understood immediately and cast his gaze into the distance, "It doesn't matter who is in charge anymore. Some things cannot be changed by just you and me."
The two rough eunuchs just now picked up the big brooms and swept them randomly in the yard. No matter how they swept, they never left their side. Xiao Yu brought tea and put it on the table. When he saw their obvious surveillance appearance, he became angry.
You have to grab someone by the ear and drag him down, "Masters are talking, there's no reason for you to be an eyesore by the side!"
The tall eunuch grinned and covered his ears, and was dragged down by Xiao Yu. The other eunuch's face was a little distorted, and he hurriedly grabbed the broom and followed him.
Wan Qiyan raised his eyes and glanced at them. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a slight self-mockery, "Xuanyun, I can't stay for long. It's already very difficult for the fourth brother to tolerate me seeing you. I'm afraid it won't end well if I piss him off."
"Well, we all have different positions here. No matter what you do, you don't have to feel guilty." Mai Mai glanced at him calmly, "Actually, I really hope to see the invincible God of War Flame King on the battlefield.
.”
He stood up and stood quietly for a moment, "Don't worry, seventh brother will definitely come." He took steady steps and left her sight.
Mai Mai showed a rare sweet smile, holding her chin with both hands, thinking about that handsome face that was so beautiful that even she would be suffocated. She never doubted him, he would definitely come and take her out of here, back to the grassland, back to the grassland.
to their homes.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Damn it! I'm going to kill that woman!"
"Calm down, Lou, calm down!"
"How to calm down, how do you want me to calm down? She hit my wise head and twisted my perfect ears! I'm going to kill her now! Ghost, don't stop me!"
In the utility room of Nianxi Palace, a man was holding another man's waist tightly. If he didn't let him rush out in anger, he might really kill the little palace maid.
"Lou!" The man behind him pushed him into the corner and persuaded patiently, "I know how much you care about your appearance. It's enough to sacrifice your handsomeness to pretend to be a eunuch. Now you are being betrayed by another
The little girl is being bullied to the top of her head. But, aren’t we all doing this for the mistress? You should calm down and put your mission first! Besides, that girl is the master’s personal maid in the palace. If you dare to touch her,
You can carry water to the coffin even if you don't have a single hair."
Lou Su and Gui Su, dressed as funny eunuchs, and their originally handsome faces have all turned into ordinary looks, so ordinary that they would never be picked out among the crowd.
Hearing Gui Su's words, Lou Su sat down on the ground angrily, stroking his red ears, "Evil bitch, wait until we rescue the mistress before we deal with her!"
Seeing that Lou Su, who had always regarded himself as elegant, was actually furious. Gui Su suppressed his laughter and quickly changed the subject, "There is also the Flame King who haunted the mistress when he was in Zhuolang Castle.
"If I hadn't seen him as someone who was kind and righteous, I would have dealt with him long ago." I mentioned him with a look of disdain.
There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. The two of them had excellent ears and hurriedly stood up and pretended to tidy up.
Xiao Yu walked over quietly, stood on tiptoes, and looked inside. Seeing that the two of them were quite safe inside, he quietly returned.
She came to Mai Mai and pointed in the direction of the utility room with a treacherous look on her face, "Sister Xuanyun, do you want to lock them in?"
Seeing Xiao Yu's nervous look, Mai Mai shook her head and laughed, patting her shoulder, "Xiao Yu, don't worry about them, even if they are gone, the emperor will send others over. Let's wait and play the next game.
.”
Xiao Yu looked back in confusion, "Game?" Then he slapped his head, "It's the game between the mantis and the oriole!"
Seeing Mai Mai but smiling, Xiao Yu pulled her and said coquettishly, "Sister Xuanyun, tell me what's going on. You know I'm stupid, don't let me guess."
"Soon, you will know." Mai Mai's smoke bomb exploded in Xiao Yu's mind again. She simply stopped asking.
"Okay, okay, just watch the show."
The two people who were still in the miscellaneous room before were walking behind them carrying a basket of groceries. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but one of the eunuchs with a dark complexion suddenly weakened and bumped into Xiao Yu.
.
Xiao Yu staggered, steadied himself, opened his eyes that were about to burst into flames, walked up to him with his hands on his hips, stretched out his fingers and poked his head, "You did it on purpose! I have a grudge against you.
?Believe it or not, I will throw you out of Nianxi Palace?"
"you……"
Lou Su staggered when she poked him, and his originally dark cheeks turned dark red with anger. His coolness and handsomeness were all destroyed in the hands of this evil woman!
Next to him, Gui Su stood there in shock, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, his face twisted with boredom. He only looked at him in a lively manner, but didn't notice Mai Mai's inquiring expression.
Only one person can have those eyes that take pleasure in misfortune;
When seeing a good show, only one person can be so excited that he can't wait to get involved.
Mai Mai looked away and the smile on her lips deepened. While Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu were still arguing, she coughed lightly and said, "Ghost, come to the front hall."
Gui Su looked so happy. After hearing what Mai Mai said, he agreed without even thinking, "Yes, mistress..."
Suddenly he turned around, looked at Mai Mai's back, and plucked his hair with both hands, "Is the disguise so bad? Even the mistress would notice it."
He glanced at Lou, who was still in the middle of a verbal spat, and he immediately imitated the eunuch's behavior and walked humbly toward the front hall with his body hunched over.
Walking into the hall, Guisu immediately changed into a playful expression and said, "Mistress, you don't know how happy my subordinates are to see that you are fine!"
Mai Mai cautiously reached the window and looked outside.
