Chapter 13 The Emperor

Through the back garden, there are not so many flowers and plants. Only a lake is calm and traceless. The weeping willows have sprouted tender green buds. The moonlight is mysterious, and Mo Ning gasps gently.

"Ning Er, wait a minute." Zhong Xuanyu asked her to sit under the tree and put her body together. "It will be ready soon."

She nodded gently and sat obediently. The night was getting colder. She pulled the cloak behind her, and there was a sudden sound of dead branches breaking not far away. She turned her head warily and heard a few owl calls. Only then was he relieved. Mo Ning sighed. Obviously, they were two people who were open and upright, but they seemed to be having an affair.

When she was smiling bitterly, the elongated sound rose to the sky with a bright light. Peng's bloomed, dazzling and charming. In an instant, the whole night sky was rendered by brilliant fireworks. Zhong Xuanyu stood behind the fireworks, holding a fire fold, with a smile on his face, and the firelight shone on his face. Then rise into the air.

Mo Ning looked at the sky covered with fireworks, and his eyes were moist. Zhong Xuanyu walked to him, took off his cloak and covered her, hugged her tightly, and kissed the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"When did my Ning'er cry so much?"

She smiled and looked stupid. She leaned in his arms and didn't say anything.

"Ning'er, do you like it?" Zhong Xuanyu lowered his voice and gently bit her ear.

Mo Ning didn't say anything and leaned back in his arms again. Gradually, the fireworks darkened a little. He hugged her arm a little tighter. The two were so quiet and snuggled quietly. No one wanted to disturb the hard-won silence.

not far away, a lonely look flashed, looked at the two people who hugged each other tightly, turned around and quietly left.

"Ninger, if I do something wrong, will you blame me?" His voice sounded and took away the only light left by the fireworks. The lake rippled slightly, and the wind blew gently.

"Xuan Yu." Before she could go on, he had let go of her, stood up and walked a few steps. His tall figure was elongated by the moonlight and was a little lonely. The sudden chill made Mo Ning couldn't help shrink and adapt to the air without him. Mo Ning looked at his back, stood up and walked to his side, with some doubts in his eyes. Confused, "What's the matter?"

"Ning'er, you have to believe me." Zhong Xuanyu turned around and looked at her. He couldn't say anything except this. He couldn't make Mo Ning in any danger.

"Ye, I believe it."

Hearing what she said, he held her in his arms again and kissed her gently. The domineering tenderness invaded her. Ning'er, you must believe me.

Tonight, it's like a dream. There is no right or wrong, no misunderstanding, no quarrel. For the first time, the two hearts are so close together. If she can choose, she never wants to wake up. Unfortunately, there is no if.

Early in the morning of the second day, Mo Ning was pulled up by Nuan Yu. After dressing her carefully and putting on the big red phoenix robe, she woke up from her hazy sleepiness. Nuan Yu put on a phoenix crown for her and breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, I saw two shadows last night, I don't know..."

Mo Ning suddenly felt a little flustered. He pretended to be a little impatient and looked at her. He pushed the door and walked out.

The nameless sweeping the yard seemed to be a little absent-minded. When he saw Mo Ning, his eyes flashed with a trace of surprise and quickly took it back. Fushou saluted, "Mother."

Mo Ning raised her feet and stepped down the steps. The two maidservant behind her bent down and raised her clothes slightly. She frowned and smiled gently at the nameless, but it seemed to be troubled by today's grandeur.

Animyo seemed to know her very well. He put down the broom in his hand and said, "Your mother, don't worry. A few hours will pass."

Before Mo Ning could speak, he heard a shrill voice from outside the door, "Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, the people in the whole yard quickly stood behind Mo Ning and prepared to salute.

Mo Ning looked at the man who came in from the door. He was dressed in black, low-key but could not hide his luxury. The golden dragon pattern totem aggravated his majesty. His handsome eyes were like a pool of clear water, and he was quite elegant, and he walked towards him.

"I'm a maidservant, I'm going to see the emperor!"

I don't know when he didn't look like he used to be. Now he is just the Qingyan Emperor. When the voice behind her sounded, she came to her senses and quickly bent her knees and saluted, "My concubine..."

Before she finished her words, Zhong Xuanyu had already held her body with tender eyes, "Ning'er, there are no outsiders here. When did you be so polite?"

Mo Ning was stunned for a moment and stood up. "As the head of the six palaces, how can I not pay attention to etiquette on this important day?"

Hearing what she said, Zhong Xuanyu smiled at her and took her hand. Just like half a year ago, he also pulled her slowly into the palace. The two looked at each other and walked out.

The attendant behind him lowered his head and followed them. In everyone's opinion, the emperor and queen of Qingyan are the most suitable couple.

Looking at the backs of the two people getting farther and farther away, the domineering emperor and the charming queen, he even envied the man who could take her hand.

What if one day the emperor is me? He thought and smiled abruptly.

"Nameless, keep up with me, what are you thinking!" Nuan Yu looked back at him and motioned him to follow him quickly.

He came to his senses, with a little invisible chill in his eyes, and he quickly lowered his head and followed Nuan Yu.

Today is a special day. Everyone in the whole palace is busy, sometimes in a hurry, sometimes slowly.

Zhong Xuanyu and Mo Ning stood on the high platform, looking down at his picturesque country, holding her hand tightly, and gently calling her, "Ning'er."

Mo Ning looked up at him. His cold eyes stared at the front, which was so majestic. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel that the man beside her was strange.

And she didn't have time to know the new him.

He looked at her sideways, held her in his arms, and kissed her hair. "Ning Er, it will be over soon. You wait, wait."

Mo Ning doesn't know what he means in his words. He thinks he is a little abnormal, but he doesn't know why? Thinking of today's celebration, he pretended to be clear and nodded gently. After he became an emperor, he hid too much from her.

"Your Majesty, my aunt asks for a meeting." The little eunuch lowered her voice. Her aunt was originally the empress dowager's personal maid, and there was only this one maid.

"The noise." Zhong Xuanyu whispered, although her expression was indifferent, it was different from the past. After all, no matter how wrong she was, she was also his mother.

The little eunuch retreated, led her aunt to the high platform and knelt down. She was not young, and her voice was a little vicissitudes. Emperor, the Empress Dowager still refuses to leave Hua'an Palace.

Zhong Xuanyu nodded gently and his eyes were cold. "Is she feeling better?"

"The Empress Dowager has been weak since the death of the late emperor, and she has not stepped out of Hua'an Palace since that time. I'm afraid..."

He was impatient and closed his eyes gently. "I'm afraid so?"

"I don't know."

"That's all. Find someone to clean up the Hua'an Palace and wait for it."

"I obey." After she bent down and retreated, he opened his eyes and stared at Mo Ning's eyes with a trace of heartache. "Ninger, no matter what, learn to endure and don't make big mistakes on impulse." Until now, what he misses most is her.

The harem woman is wrong in love and wants to have too much. If you don't fall in love with the high-ranking emperor, who else would have worked hard to compete for the favor? If it weren't for that position, who else would have stained his hands with blood in order to compete for the favor?

Zhong Xuanyu hugged Mo Ning tighter, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Ning Er, you have to believe me, wait for me, I remember all what I said. After a complete peace of mind, I can put down the world at ease, leave here with you, and live a peaceful life together."

He said firmly. Mo Ning squeezed her lips tightly and opened her mouth without a sound. Her eyes were moist. Listening to this beautiful promise, it was also the life she yearned for. She did not dare to expect him to fulfill it, but he remembered.

Zhong Xuanyu heard that she lost her voice, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes. He would rather bear some things alone than involve her in it. No one knows that the two of them will get farther and farther away.

"Your Majesty, General Ning has arrived!" The cloud bodyguard walked up to the high platform. She looked sideways at him and saw that he had a sword in his arm. He was Zhong Xuanyu's close bodyguard. He was never public, simple, and his appearance was also first-class. He just loved to wear white, which was a little unpredictable. All she knew was that Zhong Xuanyu had never worn white clothes since he became an emperor.

Hearing this, he took Mo Ning's hand tightly and said meaningfully, "Queen, come with me."

"Ye-huh." Mo Ning agreed softly and slowly followed him down the twenty-story steps.

General Ning wore armor and had a happy face of victory. After seeing Zhong Xuanyu, he quickly knelt down and saluted, "My minister, see the emperor, empress."

"Aiqing, hurry up and flat." Zhong Xuanyu took a few steps forward and bent down to help him. "With such a good general as Aiqing, I, Qingyan, will definitely rest assured every day!"

General Ning smiled and took a look at Mo Ning, and quickly got up. "The emperor's words are heavy. It's an honor to serve for the emperor. Isn't the emperor such an old minister!"

"No, this victory depends on General Ning's bravery. There is no need to say such words!"

Ningcheng laughed.

Behind the rockery, Ning Ye has been hiding here. Looking at all this, he smiled coldly. Mo Ning, your good days have really come to an end from today.

"Mother, let's go!" The little maid's voice was very soft and kindly reminded. It's too cold here. I'm afraid it will freeze the prince.

When Ning Ye heard the maidservant behind her say this, she turned her head and raised her hand and simply hit her face. Her eyes seemed to spit out fire, "Multi-mouthed slave, why do you want to leave!"

The little maidservant was scared and stopped by her horrible eyes. Her red and swollen face quickly lowered her head, and her hands holding her clothes were also trembling gently. She was a newcomer. No one told her what to pay attention to. She didn't know the temperament of her new master. Everyone was waiting to see her jokes.

"Let's go!" As a concubine Ning, why do you hide like this? Before she finished speaking, she came out from behind the rockery and walked slowly with her hand on her stomach.
