Chapter 181 The Emperor's Coming
"Madam, it's so late, the emperor should not come. You'd better rest early!" Xiao Ju saw Huang Yuejiao yawning, but she still insisted on sitting there and persuaded her softly.
Huang Yuejiao looked out reluctantly. The door was empty, not to mention the emperor, not even a ghost. She sighed and felt a little annoyed. Why was she so useless? She planned to attract the emperor, but during the whole birthday banquet, she was so nervous that she didn't dare to look at the emperor. Maybe once the eyes met, it would be different!
Seeing that she was depressed, Xiao Ju quickly comforted her and said, "Your Majesty, you are really beautiful today. Everyone is staring at you. The emperor has also looked at you for a long time. I must remember you. Don't be discouraged. If the emperor doesn't come today, maybe he will come tomorrow?
"Hmm!" Huang Yuejiao smiled at her, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed!"
"Yes, mother-in-law, I will serve you to bed!" Xiaoju came to her. Just as she was about to step forward, she heard someone shouting, "Is Huang Cairen?" The emperor is here, please come out and see the driver as soon as possible--
Huang Yuejiao was stunned and looked straight at Xiao Ju, "Xiao Ju, did you hear any sound?"
"I heard the Empress, as if she said that the emperor... The emperor is coming, let... let the Empress go out to see the driver..." Xiao Ju stammered and suddenly woke up, "Your Majesty, the emperor is coming, come quickly, go out to pick up!"
"Oh, oh!" Huang Yuejiao also reacted, tidyed up her hair and clothes, and quickly came out. She saw a tall golden figure stepping into the door, and she didn't have much time to think about it. She bent her knees and kowtowed, "See... I've seen the emperor!"
Jiang Shize kept walking, went straight to the table and sat down, and then glanced at her, "Get up!"
"Yes, your Majesty!" Huang Yuejiao stood up and stared down at her toes, daring not glanced randomly.
When Jiang Shize saw her cramped appearance, he couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, "Why, do you let me sit like this?" I drank more wine today and was a little thirsty!"
"Damn it, I'm going to pour tea for the emperor!" Huang Yuejiao hurriedly pulled Xiaoju out. Soon, she came back with a plate of fruit and timidly put it in front of Jiang Shize. "Your Majesty, Xiaoju is boiling water to make tea. You should eat some fruit to moisten your throat first..."
Lou Ming looked beside him, which was funny and helpless. This Huang Cairen was so young. If it were another woman, he would have prepared everything early in the morning and tried his best to please the emperor. She is fine, and she needs the emperor to remind her to know how to do it.
Huang Yuejiao didn't hear a reply for a long time. She couldn't help looking up and met Jiang Shize's eyes staring at her. She was shocked, eagerly withdrew her eyes and lowered her head deeper.
She looked like a frightened little rabbit, which made Jiang Shize unconsciously smile, "You come closer!" He ordered.
"Yes!" Huang Yuejiao promised to move forward.
"Come closer and come to me!" Jiang Shize ordered again.
Huang Yue timidly took two steps forward and stood a foot away from Jiang Shize. She didn't know what the emperor was going to do, and her heart pounded nervously, as if she was about to jump out of her chest.
"Are you so afraid of me?" Jiang Shize stared at her with a sneer, "Don't you really want me to come? Why do you shrink when I come and don't dare to look at me?
"Concubine, damn it!" Huang Yuejiao's heart tightened, knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to the ground, "Please forgive me!"
After listening to these two words, Jiang Shize frowned impatiently, "Raise your head!"
"Yes...yes!" Huang Yuejiao raised her head tremblingly, met Jiang Shize's eyes, and avoided it like an electric shock.
Jiang Shize reached out and pinched her small chin, forcing her to look up and look at herself fiercely. He stared at the depths of her eyes. She trembled and changed color. Then he let go of his hand and said in a faint tone, "It looks a little more handsome than Bian Jieyu. Why did you become a concubine, but you have become a talented person? How are you worse than her?"
Huang Yuejiao didn't expect him to say so. She was stunned for a moment and said, "This... I don't know!"
Jiang Shize snorted coldly, stopped talking, and ignored her. He glanced at the dark night outside the door and thought about something expressionlessly.
He didn't say anything, and Huang Yuejiao didn't dare to get up. She straightened up and knelt there, feeling uneasy. Needless to say, she also knows that her performance today is terrible. And I heard that the emperor has a bad temper. He must be angry with himself. What should I do?
Her legs were numb from her knees, but the emperor still didn't say a word. The whole room was surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of breathing was infinitely amplified. She held her breath and didn't dare to move, and fine sweat oozed from her forehead.
"You... come and feed me!" I don't know how long it took for Jiang Shize to speak slowly.
"Ah?" Huang Yuejiao didn't understand and was a little stunned.
Jiang Shize's eyes darkened and his words were unhappy, "I told you to feed me!"
"Ah, yes!" Huang Yuejiao quickly stood up and endured the pain in her leg. She stepped forward to pick up the silver fork, forked a piece of fruit, and sent it to his mouth, "Your Majesty, please use it!"
Jiang Shize glanced at her, put the fruit in her mouth, chewed it slowly, swallowed it, and Huang Yuejiao sent another piece.
Xiaoju made tea and served it. Seeing that Huang Yuejiao was punished to kneel, she was too scared to enter the door. She didn't know how the master made the emperor unhappy, but she was in a hurry but didn't know what to do. At this time, the atmosphere between the two seemed to be very good, so I was a little relieved and secretly cheered for Huang Yuejiao.
Jiang Shize did not refuse to eat all the fruits sent to Huang Yuejiao's mouth, and most of the fruit was gone. Xiaoju was thinking about whether to cut another plate of fruit and send it in, and heard Jiang Shize say, "Enough!"
"Yes, your Majesty!" Huang Yuejiao put down her silver fork and looked at him boldly, "The water should have been boiled now. Do you want to have another cup of tea?"
"No, take me to your bedroom!" Jiang Shize stood up.
Huang Yuejiao's face suddenly turned red and bowed her head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" He led Jiang Shize to the bedroom.
Xiaoju was completely relieved. It seems that the mother's luck has arrived. He hurried to bring in a new pot of tea and greeted Lou Ming, "Duke Lou, thank you for your hard work. Have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue!"
"Okay, okay!" When the emperor left, Lou Ming also relaxed, sat down rudely, and glanced at Xiaoju with a smile, "You are much more sensible than your master!"
Xiao Ju poured a bowl of tea and handed it up with both hands: "Yes, father-in-law. Our mother has just entered the palace and doesn't know anything. Please take care of her in the future!"
Lou Ming smiled and drank tea slowly. He is close to the emperor, and there are many people who want to get his care. If everyone promises, won't he be exhausted? It depends on which one to take care of. This Huang Cairen seems to have more potential than Bian Jieyu. Let's wait and see!
"Fath-in-law..." Xiaoju was about to say something when she suddenly heard a scream in her bedroom. It was Huang Yuejiao's voice, "What's going on?" She couldn't care much, so she ran to the bedroom. Before she ran to the door, she saw Huang Yuejiao running out semi-naked and shouted in panic, "Come on...come on, Your Majesty... He... something's wrong..."
