[015]Emperor's Invitation

Qiande Palace.

Nangong Che looked at the person in the hall with a cold face, "Say."

The man in black lowered his head slightly, and the expression on his face could not be seen in the dim light, but his words were extremely cold, as silent as a soulless living dead.

"The second princess of Xiliang and her relatives arrived in Daqin for three days, and the heavy soldiers were in bed because of the unconvinced water and soil. The Ming King of the Great Qin reported to the King of Qin to prevent the princess from getting married and dying in a foreign country. He wanted to send the second princess back to Xiliang. However, the escorted army had a problem on the border between Xiliang and Daqin, which almost affected my Dayan. According to It was said that he encountered an assassination on the road. In the chaos, the royal horse went crazy and turned the second princess and her servants and her car to the bottom of the ice cliff first, and the bones were gone.

Nangong Che frowned, "Didn't the prince of Dingbei happen to go to the border during that time? Does it have anything to do with this matter?"

The man in black shook his head, "This is uncertain. I only know that the place mentioned by the son is that he just stays for a while and has no intention of playing. Our people can't find out where the other time is."

"Bunth." Nangong Che's face changed slightly, and one hand patted on the table in front of him.

The man in black fell to his knees with a bang, "I'm not good at things. Please punish me."

Nangong Che was slightly discouraged. Recently, he became more and more irritable. He sat upright and sighed on the back of the chair. "He has also been to the birthday banquet of the Wulin League leader of Lanling. Has anything happened?"

The man in black looked up and said, "Lanling has always respected martial arts and does not participate in the political affairs of other countries. Although other countries have sent people to the birthday banquet, there is no big movement."

Nangong Che nodded, "After January, there will be countries coming to Shengjing. Our people must deal with it carefully."

The man in black quickly answered, and then said, "If it is related to the second princess of Xiliang, Xiliang's dark guard seems to be looking for someone these days."

Nangong Che's eyes lit up, "Oh? Who are you looking for?

"They are looking for a person who has appeared in Lanling, which seems to be related to Mingjian Villa, but now all the people in Xiliang have withdrawn from Lanling. I don't know if they are going to give up."

Nangong Che narrowed his eyes slightly, "According to Xiao Zimo's personality, how can he give up!"

When the man in black retreated, footsteps sounded again in the quiet room. Nangong Che opened his eyes and saw that it was the close servant Eunuch Fu beside him.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager ordered someone to send supplements."

Nangong Che subconsciously frowned, closed his eyes and didn't want to pay more attention. "Send it in."

When Duke Fu saw that he had no intention of eating, he could only sigh softly and waved his hand to let the people of Yongshou Palace come in. The footsteps sounded gently in the room, and Nangong Che's closed eyes suddenly opened wide.

In her eyes, there was a lotus-colored skirt. Chu Yun gently turned his back to Nangong Li and took out all the tonics in the food box. Her beautiful figure looked more distinct lines from behind. Her slender neck and long hair like three thousand waterfalls poured down, adding a touch of beauty to her style.

While taking out the things in the food box, Chu Yuan was puzzled that she had never sent supplements before, but because today's sweet soup was her suggested recipe, the Empress Dowager let herself send it on a whim.

This Qiande Palace is worthy of being the emperor's bedroom. The decoration is extremely gorgeous and noble. When she entered the door, she looked up at the emperor, which seemed to be accumulated.

I don't know why she felt a little oppressive when she came here. She felt relieved. Fortunately, she was resting. She could leave quickly after sending things.

That's what Chu Yuan thought. Chu Yuan turned around. At that moment, all the happiness in her heart disappeared in an instant. Nangong Che's eyes were sharp and cold. Chu Yuan only felt that her breath was choked for a moment, and she forgot to salute!

"Hehe--"

A low smile shocked Chu Yuan. The father-in-law was also stunned by this scene. At this time, he quickly shouted, "Why don't you salute the emperor!"

Chu Yuan immediately knelt down and said, "Give to the emperor, please."

Nangongchen looked at Chu Yuan's appearance with interest and said no words.

Chu Yuan only felt that her neck was about to stiffen, and the person above seemed to deliberately want to make a fool of her, but she didn't let her get up. She had no choice but to smile bitterly and had to kneel on the ground obediently.

"It's still different."

A sudden sentence made Chu Yuan raise her head in shock. At this time, Nangong Chen's eyes were falling on her, but his eyes were confused and distant, as if he had seen another person through her.

Chu Yuan lowered her head and chewed his words carefully.

"Look up."

Nangong Che's words were extremely deterrent. Chu Yuan looked up, but her eyes did not dare to look at him.

Nangong Che's eyes fell on Chu Yuan's face unscrupulously, which seemed to look at her thoroughly, "Where are you from?"

Chu Yuan was shocked, "I have no fixed place to live, and there is no place that can be regarded as a place."

Nangong Che raised his eyebrows, "Then where did you and the prince of Dingbei meet?"

Chu Yuan didn't understand why he asked her these questions. "The maidservant and the son met on the border of Dayan."

"Where did you appear?"

Chu Yuan's heart gradually developed a cool feeling. Nangong Che stood at the peak of power. How could he have time to ask her such a question? Unless he found that her identity was different. "At that time, the maidservant was preparing to come to Dayan."

Nangong Che got up and walked to her step by step.

Chu Yuan's heart gradually tightened. At this time, she was kneeling on the ground and looking at Nangong Che's tall figure in an up-looking posture.

Walking closer and closer, Nangong Che's tall figure almost all covered her. Nangong Che stood in front of her and squatted down with the corners of his mouth. Chu Yuan was forced by his strength and subconsciously lowered her head.

In this way, the faces of the two people were very close. He smiled coldly, and his big hand stretched out and raised her chin to look at her.

"At that time, you were ready to come to Dayan and tell me, what are you going to do in Dayan?"

Chu Yuan frowned and said, "The maidservant lives in a fixed place, wandering in the rivers and lakes. Originally, I was going to travel all over the rivers and mountains of various countries, but it's because of the extremeness of the big swallows. It's naturally good to come and see it."

Nangong Che nodded, and his two fingers tightened slightly. He smiled, "Then you are really good. You walked casually and walked to the harem, and got the heart of the Empress Dowager. Now, don't you still want to get my heart?"

On one side of Chu Yuan's eyes, a panic suddenly appeared. "The emperor's meaning is that the maidservant doesn't understand. Tonight, the maidservant is ordered by the Empress Dowager to send supplements to you. There is no other intention. Please check it clearly."

"Oh?" Nangong Che raised his eyebrows, "Really?"

As soon as the words fell, Nangong Che let go of his hand. Chu Yuan only felt that his chin was about to be numb. She stared at Nangong Che with anger in her eyes, but her heart was slightly afraid.

Nangong Che got up and looked at her staring at the corners of her mouth. "No one has ever dared to look at me like this. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Chu Yuan sneered, "The emperor is a wise king for thousands of years. How can he kill the slave and maidservant for no reason? If so, wouldn't it make the inner palace feel cold?"

Grandpa Fu was shocked, but Chu Yuan did not know how to restrain at all. A pair of eyes did not see the loneliness and weakness of the talent, but became more and more bright as new.

Nangong Che's eyes were even more interesting. He turned his head and looked at the exquisite porcelain cup on the table and frowned.

Chu Yuan saw this scene and said, "This is what the Empress Dowager ordered me to do. It has the effect of nourishing qi and returning to the original. Please try it."

Nangong Che looked at her and then looked at the porcelain cup. The Fugong Guild beside him quickly picked it up and sent it to Nangong Che's side. Nangong Che sat down, took the porcelain cup and gently took a sip, and then frowned, "It's not bad."

Chu Yuan's heart was relieved. She only felt that her legs were numb, but she didn't know why this person treated her like this.

"What, is it uncomfortable to kneel?"

Chu Yuan sneered angrily, "The emperor wants me to kneel down, but I dare not complain."

Nangong Che knocked on the table with one hand and suddenly said, "If you play a game of chess with me, I will naturally not let you kneel again, how about that?"

Chu Yuan was shocked, but said, "Your Majesty, you are the son of heaven. It's right for me to kneel down. I dare not think about it."

As soon as Nangong Che said this, he really smiled. His eyes fell brightly on Chu Yuan. "If you don't accompany me, I will let you not have to go back to Yongshou Palace tonight. Just kneel here all night."

Chu Yuan gritted his teeth. The man in front of him was clearly a cold-faced emperor. Why did he not belong to the market scoundrel when he was shameless? The corners of her mouth raised, "Since the emperor said so, the servant made a fool of himself."

When the chessboard was placed, Chu Yuan was sweating coldly. This chessboard was exactly the chess she brought into this dynasty!

Chu Yuan's legs were paralyzed, and she was about to stand up and play chess, but she was stunned by Nangong Che's words. "Did I say I want you to stand up and play chess?"

Kneeling and playing chess?!

Chu Yuan was indignant in her heart, but she still couldn't show anything on her face. The corners of her mouth hooked, "Yes."

Nangong Che was very satisfied with her appearance, and the sentence that came out after that almost made Chu Yuan have the impulse to bite her tongue and to suicide.

Nangong Che said, "If you lose, you will kneel here all night. If you win, I will allow you to come to my Qiande Palace to serve!"

She definitely doesn't want to lose. How about winning?

If she wins, she can come to Qiande Palace, which is an opportunity that everyone envies, but she doesn't like it very much here. Based on the questions asked by the emperor, she feels that Nangong Che has almost begun to doubt herself. Since she is suspected, if she is getting closer, she doesn't know how many flaws will be revealed!

However, if you can come to Qiande Palace, you may be able to find clues related to the queen faster!

"I allow you to go first--"

Chu Yuan was puzzled, "If the maidservant says that the maidservant will not--"

Nangong Che's eyes were fierce, "Then you are deceiving the king. In the pavilion that day, you looked gorgeous and unrealistic in a few words. In fact, you are looking at our chess road. Why, how dare you say that you can't?"

Chu Yuan's heart was cold. She glanced at the chessboard and said, "Three into five."

In this way, one person knelt down and one person sat down to start the chess game. Nangong Che saw that she began to make a move, and there was no hesitation.

"Pawn seven into one."

"Ma Ba Jin Jiu."

"Ma Ba Jin Yi."

"The car is nine into one."

"Xixiang seven into five."

......

Eunuch Fu stood aside and listened to the two people's hesitation or neat fall. A light gradually appeared in his eyes. He slowly withdrew. There was a little maid of honor who came with Chu Yuan. Eunuch Fu waved them over and said, "You go back first. I'm afraid your Miss Chu will stay tonight. Here we go."

Several little maids of honor were not newcomers. They immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's close servant. After saluteing, they went to the Yongshou Palace.

There are still Mies waiting in the Yongshou Palace. When she sees Chu Yuan leaving but doesn't return, she naturally wants to ask. Some of the little maids can speak, so they said, "Miss Chu brought the tonic into the Qiande Palace. We are waiting outside. After waiting for a long time, Miss Chu may not come out. We were anxious, but Lady Fu came out. He said that Miss Chu is tonight. I'm afraid we can't leave, so they sent us back first.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes changed, either by accident, envy, or jealousy, all of which could not be suppressed on their faces.

M Mother Lu and Xiu He also heard this. The former was overjoyed, "Oh, I'll tell the Empress Dowager!"

And Xiuhe, she frowned, and a trace of indiffness flashed in her eyes, and then her face retreated solemnly.

There are many little maids in the crowd. They are not the center of power disputes. At this time, they are just talking about a few words. With the crowd, the little maids of honor know that Qingzhu has a good relationship with Chu Yuan. At this time, it is inevitable to inquire or congratulate. The smile on Qingzhu's face did not reach the bottom of his eyes and said directly, "My sister has a good life."

Just when the Yongshou Palace was boiling because of such news, Chu Yuan in Qiande Palace looked bitter. Although she brought in this chess, the emperor was worthy of being the emperor. Maybe he usually plotted too much, and it was not so easy to deal with when playing chess. For example, now, there are not many players on both sides. He surrounded her nine grids one by one, and saw that the defeat had been decided.

"What, are you going to admit defeat?"

Chu Yuan was depressed by Nan Gong Che's face, but there was no way to go at this time. She sighed, "I am willing to kneel down again and pray for the emperor and the empress dowager. Please rest assured. It's not early. It's not early for the emperor."

Nangong Che laughed and put down the last heart horse in his hand and got up into the inner room. "It's okay. I will give the Empress Dowager your kindness."

Seeing that Nangong Che really left, Chu Yuan wanted to cry without tears. The long night was as lonely as snow. Do you really want her to kneel all night?

There was silence in the room. Chu Yuan moved her sore waist and back, and began to curse in her heart.

"Miss Chu."

The sudden appearance of Mr. Fu's voice scared Chu Yuan. She turned around and saw Mr. Fu standing by the door, "The old slave sent you back to Yongshou Palace."

Chu Yuan was shocked, "But--"

Mr. Fu shook his head and said, "How can I really let you kneel all night? Come with the old slave."

Chu Yuan's legs were paralyzed, and she finally stood up with the table. Looking at her walking out with difficulty, Mr. Fu smiled happily. "To tell you the truth, I haven't seen the emperor so happy for a long time."

Chu Yuan hummed, "Fain-law, don't comfort me. The emperor may be too bored today, so he teases the maidservant so much. The maidservant is a servant. Naturally, he can think about it."

Grandpa Fu shook his head, "Don't believe Miss Chu. The emperor has rarely been so happy in recent years. The emperor is by no means a person who teases anyone at will. It is the girl's temperament that makes the emperor like her."

Chu Yuan is sweating coldly. This old man seems to have been in this palace for a long time, and he has been with Nangong Che for the longest time. Why does it feel very strange to listen to him at this time?

"If the emperor likes it, it is the grace of the maidservant."

Mr. Fu smiled helplessly, "The girl is a transparent person, and I don't need to say more."

Chu Yuan had nothing to say. A series of questions about Nangong Che just now had already shocked her. What else did she dare to think about? No matter what, she would never meet the emperor in a short time!

At this time, it was already in the dead of night. Grandpa Fu took some servants to send Chu Yuan to the gate of Yongshou Palace and retreated. Chu Yuan turned around and entered the door, but saw that the palace could not turn off the lights earlier than usual. At this moment, the lights were actually bright.

Her heart was tight, maybe something happened!

Just as Chu Yuan hurried into the main hall, everyone in the hall looked at her strangely.

Chu Yuan was extremely puzzled. She looked at the empress dowager sitting in the main seat and immediately bent down and walked over. "Why hasn't you gone to bed so late? The empress dowager is uncomfortable?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Chu Yuan in a glan and said, "Woman, why did you come back?"

Chu Yuan was puzzled, "Can't I come back?"

Mother Lu naturally knew what the Empress Dowager was thinking. Even if she stepped forward, she added, "The servants who just went with you came back from Qiande Palace and said that General Manager Fu said that you would not come back tonight."

Chu Yuan's heart moved and finally understood why the Empress Dowager didn't sleep so late. Her face was stained with crimson, "Empress Dowager, where do you think!"

Everyone knew that the news was an oolong, with all kinds of expressions on his face. Xiuhe stood beside him and hooked the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were slightly happy.

"Then why did you come back late?"

Mother Lu's question naturally raised their hearts to their throats. For so long, almost no woman in Qiande Palace can stay in Qiande Palace for so long, except for the little maid of honor.

Chu Yuan knew what everyone meant and immediately said, "I just accompanied the emperor to play a game of chess."

Everyone's eyes are different. Even if they play chess, not everyone can be with the emperor. However, Chu Yuan's face is pale, and she doesn't take this seriously at all.

The Empress Dowager looked at Mother Lu, and the disappointment in her eyes was calmed down by the new hope. She immediately waved her hand and said, "Chu girl, go back and rest. The emperor has been working on state affairs all day long. It's also excellent for you to play chess with him."

Chu Yuan's heart moved. She knew that everyone had misunderstood tonight, but she didn't explain it, even if she retreated.

As soon as he walked out of the main hall, Qingzhu greeted him. Chu Yuan looked at it and said, "Don't say you misunderstood."

Qingzhu stuck out his tongue and said, "It's because they didn't make it clear. Qingzhu really thought that his sister was going to stay in Qiande Palace tonight. If he really stays, you will be calm."

Perhaps Qingzhu's tone was too excited. Chu Yuan had a touch of anger in her heart. The corners of her mouth hooked, "Although Pingbu Qingyun is a good thing, it is not liked by everyone."

Qingzhu restrained slightly and said immediately, "That's right. My sister is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune."

Chu Yuan smiled and said nothing. She went straight to the door and walked over. Qingzhu naturally said goodbye.

Chu Yuan looked at the back of Qingzhu and shook her head. She was puzzled, "What's wrong? This girl likes girls very much, and she has to report anything outside.

Chu Yuan shook her head, "It's not enough to believe people who value fame and fortune too much."

The pendant also felt reasonable, and immediately closed the door of the courtyard to wait for Chu Yuan to sleep peacefully.

There was no dream all night. When she woke up in the morning, she was already standing by Chu Yuan's bed. Chu Yuan opened her eyes and felt that the atmosphere in the room was different. "What's wrong?"

The pendant glanced at the direction outside the door, "Fuch-in-law is here."

Chu Yuan sat up, pulled the middle coat and began to wear it. "When did you come here?"

"A quarter of an hour ago."

Chu Yuan's hand speed was extremely fast, but her clothes had been transferred. She went straight to the dresser, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Zhuan'er frowned, "I also wanted to call, but Mr. Fu said that I didn't need to call you."

Chu Yuan dresses very fast, but she really doesn't know this hair style. She can only make her hair with the pendant. She is a little anxious, but she is not in a hurry at all.

"Hurry up, it's not good for an old man to wait for so long."

Xianger snorted, "Eunuch Fu is a big celebrity around the emperor. Now it is the emperor's intention to come to find the girl so early. What are you worried about? If you come back so late last night, you must have gone to the emperor's place. The girl, be careful to play with fire!"

Chu Yuan was angry. Recently, she has been talking about such sour words more and more. Every time, she made Chu Yuan feel that she had done something wrong to others. She suddenly turned around and her hair that was not as good as the hair in the future. Although it was not as good as the original style, it was also extremely beautiful and refined.

She looked at the pendant and went straight out of the door.

Eunuch Fu outside the door turned around when he heard the noise and saw that she came out and bent down to salute, "Miss Chu, go with the old slave. The emperor is waiting for you."
