MTL - Princess a Lives By Kissing Me Every Day-Chapter 99
The relationship between the emperor and the empress is very good, this is something that almost everyone knows, no matter the court or the harem.
Seeing this, Qin Yuci didn't say much. After respectfully saluting, he turned back to his seat and sat down. He lowered his eyes and drank a cup of tea to clear his mouth. When he raised his eyes again, the emperor was still talking with the queen.
The Tian family seldom had pure affection, and it was always linked to reputation and status, just like the emperor's other concubines were basically all from famous families. The so-called marriage was nothing more than a transaction, a win-win method for the Tian family and the aristocratic family.
Except the Queen.
The Xiao family belongs to one of the three famous families. Although the queen is also the daughter of the family, the reason why the emperor married her in a grand manner is obviously much purer than others—
Just because of pleasure.
Because I like it, I can't wait to marry her and let her be my wife forever. At that time, the emperor was just a prince, and he was much more free than now. Whenever he finished dealing with the matter at hand, he would run to Xiao's mansion non-stop. , Bring a few flowers and ask the queen to come out to have fun.
No matter how bitter or tired, as soon as you see her smile, all your troubles and sorrows will disappear without a trace in an instant.
The empress is always the only trace of tenderness left in the emperor's heart.
But... what about the queen?
Qin Yuci paused. It might have been difficult to notice anything in the past, but now that she has Ranran and someone who is in love with her, she naturally knows what kind of demeanor she will have when she is with the person she loves.
At least not like the empress, although she was smiling, the smile never reached her eyes.
In this huge imperial palace, no one can understand her heart, neither her husband nor her daughter.
For some reason, Qin Yuci still felt a little cold even though he had just had a drink, so he simply picked up the jug on the side and continued to pour wine for himself, but even so, he still felt his body was bitingly cold.
Especially in the bottom of my heart, I feel very uneasy.
After a long time, the New Year's Eve banquet finally ended.
A while ago, Lin Moran was overworked and his immunity was weakened because of studying hard, and he accidentally caught a cold. Qin Yuci felt sorry for her, and he didn't ask her to go with him at this New Year's Eve banquet. She waited under the covers.
Lin Moran couldn't resist Qin Yuci, so he obediently agreed. During the waiting period, he had nothing to do, so he just lay down under the quilt and cut some red paper.
As usual, I still want to cut some small things like gourd ruyi and give them to Qin Yuci, as a sign of auspiciousness, and hope that she will be safe and healthy in the new year, and that her fortune will be smooth.
Time passed slowly like this, and it took a long time before I knew it.
When Lin Moran had cut to the dozens, Qin Yuci finally came back.
"Yinyin!" Lin Moran was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly got out of bed, his almond-shaped eyes widened and walked forward to greet her happily, "Is it cold?"
After finishing speaking, he subconsciously raised his hand to caress her face, trying to warm her up. It was at this moment that Qin Yuci's body smelled heavily of alcohol one after another.
Lin Moran knew Qin Yuci well, and knew that she had always been calm and self-restraining. For the sake of her health and to keep a clear head, although she had always had a good capacity for alcohol, she would not get too easily contaminated.
But today is not the case, she seems to have drunk a lot.
"But what happened?" Lin Moran paused, and then asked quickly, with a little worry in his tone, "Why did Yinyin drink so much?"
"No big thing happened." Qin Yuci smiled in response, and responded softly, "It's just that I've been a little tired recently, and I drank more due to negligence."
"Of course, don't worry, it's cold, go lie down quickly." She said, seeing that Lin Moran was only wearing a thin pajamas, fearing that she might get cold again, she took her by the wrist and brought her to the bed again , Watching her lie down with his own eyes.
"I'll take a shower first, and I'll be right back." Then she said, and kissed Lin Moran's cheek with lowered eyes. Although the kiss was slightly tainted with alcohol, it was still soft and warm.
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. Although his pace was still steady, Lin Moran still felt that something was wrong.
This suspicion lasted until she came back. Lin Moran watched her lie down next to him anxiously, and when he was about to ask a question, he saw that Qin Yuci had already raised his arms and hugged her.
At the same time, there is a very pleasant smell of orchid fragrance, which is refreshing and fragrant, but it is not as pure as usual, and there is a faint smell of alcohol hidden in it.
"I seem to be a little drunk." Qin Yu said in a soft voice, like a clear spring, "Can I hug Ranran?"
"Of course." Lin Moran nodded in response, raised his hand to cover her under the quilt, and then hugged her tightly.
No matter how cold it is outside, if the two hug each other tightly, they can still feel warm. Lin Moran raised his hand and patted her on the back to comfort her. The more he looked at Qin Yuci in front of him, the more he felt distressed. After all, he still opened his lips A question was raised.
"Yinyin, did something happen at the banquet?"
After finishing speaking, the person in front of him seemed to be stunned, and after a long silence, all kinds of emotions finally turned into a smile: "I can't escape Ranran's eyes."
"It's nothing more than a little emotional." She said, her voice was very soft, and she said to Lin Moran very calmly, "I was even a little scared, afraid that my suspicion was wrong, and all my efforts so far were wasted, but I was afraid that my guess was right. Unwilling and afraid to face the hard truth."
"It's really disturbing."
"It means... Empress Dowager." Lin Moran spoke with difficulty after hearing the words. Recently, with more and more in-depth investigations, the scope of suspicion has shrunk to an extremely small size, and even the answer is almost ready to come out.
How can this palace have such power, who can easily kill people, but who can manipulate it to stir up thousands of waves, but not a single leaf touches the body, so who can it be?
After all, this remark failed to get an answer, Qin Yuci responded to her with a chuckle, and then brought up a topic that seemed to have nothing to do with this matter: "But do you know Su Lanhua?"
"I don't know."
"This flower often blooms on the steepest mountain peaks. The petals are bright pink. When it is in full bloom, the fragrance is long-lasting, refreshing, and has a calming effect. It can even be made into tea after drying. Although the first taste is bitter, the aftertaste is very sweet. Really. Invaluable."
"I once drank it at my mother's place, when I was very young." Qin Yu said, slowly closing his eyes, his voice was very soft, "At that time, my relationship with my mother was not as rigid as it is now , and often play in her hall, stay to sleep when tired, and eat her pastries generously when hungry."
"For the first time, she even drank the most precious Sulan tea that she usually drinks, but the tea is different from what she usually drinks, because it has just been picked and delivered to her, and has not been dried yet."
"That day my mother told me that fresh Sulan tastes better. She loves me so much that she is willing to share it with me. This statement is so true that I am convinced that I drank all the tea in my hand in an instant."
"After that...he became seriously ill."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Moran was shocked. He didn't expect the empress to treat her prostitute like this: "Is there something wrong with the fresh Su Lan?"
"Perhaps." Qin Yuci nodded lightly, "But at that time I was already very weak, and the imperial doctor came to diagnose and treat me only because of the wind and cold, and didn't think much about it."
"Even me." Qin Yuci said, a hint of sarcasm gradually flashed in his eyes, "What the empress mother gave are all treasures, so why not doubt it."
"If it wasn't for tonight's night banquet when I suddenly heard that my father often drank this tea, perhaps I wouldn't have any doubts about it until today. Unlike now, at least at that time I always believed that my mother must be doting on me Treat me like my life."
"Maybe... I'm a joke after all, right?"
The words were very light, but they clearly contained all kinds of pain and anxiety, trembling, trembling, listening to the ears, making the heart ache along with it.
Lin Moran's nose was sour, and he blinked and almost cried, but he stopped his tears after sensing that Qin Yuci seemed to be crying.
Then he raised his hand and hugged her even tighter, never before: "Yinyin is no joke, Yinyin is the best, most powerful, and most beautiful person in the world, worthy of everyone's love and admiration, Just like me."
She said, slowly releasing her faith, and then raised her head to kiss the person in front of her devoutly, letting the scent of flowers and wine entwine tightly, letting her tears wet her cheeks and clothes.
Seriously, tell her word by word: "Yinyin is never alone, I am with you, and I love you sincerely."
"I love it very much, I like it a lot."
