Chapter 348 There Will Never Be That Day
Emperor Shenwu looked at the slender, snow-white feet wearing the peach blossom gem anklet with satisfaction, "How beautiful!"
Lan Qingwu reached out to fiddle with the anklet, but found that she couldn't open it. She looked up in confusion: "Brother Heng, why can't I open it? Where is the buckle?"
Emperor Shenwu lay leisurely on the bed: "I'll tell you later."
When going to bed that night, Emperor Shenwu really did not bother Lan Qingwu, but just held her in his arms and let her sleep quietly.
But in the middle of the night, Lan Qingwu was awakened by the gaze of someone. When she drowsily opened her eyes, the Emperor Shenwu was already leaning over her, and she was already naked. Lan Qingwu opened her watery eyes wide the next moment: "Brother Heng, you promised me."
Emperor Shenwu kissed her snow-white neck gently: "Well, I promise you, but it's already midnight - it's the next day!"
Lan Qingwu moaned softly out of stimulation: "Brother Heng...Brother Heng..."
Emperor Shenwu became even more excited when he heard Lan Qingwu's panting.
"Brother Heng, you are a scoundrel!"
The Shenwu Emperor held Lan Qingwu's snow-white earlobe in his mouth and said, "And Ruoruo, didn't I teach you not to trust a man's words easily in bed?"
Then Emperor Shenwu leaned over and kissed Lan Qingwu. The two of them were like a pair of mandarin ducks embracing each other, intimate and passionate.
The next morning, Lan Qingwu successfully did not get out of bed. Emperor Shenwu was on a day off, so he stayed up in bed with Lan Qingwu.
Imperial Concubine Jiang, however, tossed and turned in her Baifu Pavilion, unable to fall asleep. That morning, she asked the head palace maid, "What's the situation with His Majesty and the Empress in the Qingliang Palace? I'm going to pay my respects!"
Seeing the head maid hesitate to speak, Concubine Jiang sighed and said, "I am going to pay my respects to His Majesty!"
In the Qingliang Palace, Lan Qingwu was coaxed by Emperor Shenwu into eating bird's nest porridge, and then Emperor Shenwu carried her to the bed and let Lan Qingwu have a good rest.
Emperor Shenwu then went to the main hall of Qingliang Palace to review memorials and handle official business. At this moment, Concubine Jiang came to ask for a meeting.
Emperor Shenwu paused slightly, frowning slightly, and after a while he said, "Let Concubine Jiang come in!"
If we were to ask which of the six concubines the Emperor gave some respect to, who was slightly special, it would be Concubine Jiang! This was not surprising. During the years when the three concubines were in a three-way competition, only Concubine Jiang's way of dealing with people could be slightly appreciated by the Emperor Shenwu. Even the current Empress also treated Concubine Jiang differently, which was a testament to Concubine Jiang's charm and character.
After entering the main hall of Qingliang Palace, Concubine Jiang bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! May your Majesty be blessed with good health! I have come to disturb you at this time to invite you to have dinner in my palace later."
Emperor Shenwu raised his eyes to look at Imperial Concubine Jiang, his phoenix eyes showing a hint of surprise: "What do you mean by Imperial Concubine Jiang?"
Concubine Jiang felt a little bitter in her heart. She knew in her heart that Emperor Shenwu cared about the Empress's feelings and would not easily have dinner in anyone else's palace. He would only go to the concubines' palaces for lunch during some special periods. It would be fine if he gave them more rewards, but today was not her birthday, nor was it the Second Prince's big day, so Emperor Shenwu asked this question.
"Your Majesty, it's just dinner. I have something to say. I will be waiting for your arrival in the palace!"
The Emperor Shenwu's phoenix eyes turned deep and cold: "Noble Concubine Jiang, I want to know why you indulge your niece to this extent!"
Imperial Concubine Jiang suddenly raised her head and looked directly into the eyes of Emperor Shenwu: "Your Majesty, do you want to know? I will tell you the truth when you arrive at Baifu Pavilion!"
The Emperor was silent for a few breaths, thinking that it would be better to find out the reason, rather than Lan Qingwu worrying about it again and again. "You should go back to your palace and wait!"
Emperor Shenwu had not expected that the simple meal he had imagined would almost make Lan Qingwu push him out of his heart. Of course, that was a story for later.
In the afternoon, Emperor Shenwu asked Li Xiang to tell Lan Qingwu that he would be back after having dinner at Baifu Pavilion and asked Lan Qingwu to wait for him.
Li Xiang went there with his head held high. Faced with the increasingly similar auras of the Empress and His Majesty, Li Xiang broke out in a cold sweat. After reporting the Emperor Shenwu's instructions, he retreated without even raising his head.
Ru Ping looked at Lan Qingwu, seeming to be hesitant to speak, but Lan Qingwu only sighed softly: "You don't have to say anything. I can't stop Your Majesty from doing this. It's just a dinner!"
Ru Ping said, "Master, let me comb your hair!"
Lan Qingwu nodded. Ruping brought a mahogany comb and combed Lan Qingwu's cascading black hair again and again: "Madam, your hair is so beautiful!"
Lan Qingwu's hair was thick and dense, flowing down to his waist like a cloud, making his face look even more icy. Lan Qingwu could even imagine the expression on Ruping's face.
Lan Qingwu turned around gently, looking at Ruping seriously, and said, "Ruping, you are a good girl. I really can't bear to see you waste your time like this. If you are willing, I will take you in as my sister, and you can leave this palace and live the life you want! Whether it's getting married or traveling around the world, it's up to you!"
Ru Ping's eyes gradually turned red and moist: "My Lady! Am I... am I a good girl?"
Lan Qingwu nodded firmly: "Of course! Ruping, no one can overrule you!"
Ru Ping smiled, "Your Majesty, thank you! The thing I want most in this life is to stay by your side forever. I don't want to get married, I don't want any other man, I don't want to serve a man and his family as well. I also don't want to leave the palace. You are here, and even if you travel all over the world, it can't compare to the beauty of the four seasons by your side! All I want in my life is to be with you forever, to stay by your side forever!"
Lan Qingwu felt a little bitter in her heart. At this moment, she was only doing it for Ruping, the silly girl. She gently held Ruping's hand and said, "Silly girl, I understand! If you change your mind in the future, just come to me!"
Ru Ping nodded: "Of course! I don't think that day will ever come!"
