Chapter 82
Tonight the emperor arrived in the Queen's Palace, took off his dragon robe as he did the day before, and planned to lie down.

"Wait." The queen was rarely willing to talk to him.

The emperor thought for a while that he hadn't done anything to offend her recently, and asked suspiciously, "Why? What can I ask you?"

The queen glanced at the emperor, hesitated for a moment and still didn't say anything.

Just when the emperor was impatient and wanted to ask again, he suddenly heard the queen speak.

"Come up to bed tonight."

This time it was the emperor's turn to stand still and watch the queen for a long time without speaking.

The queen was a little annoyed, she was thinking that letting the emperor sleep on the ground for a long time is not an option, who knows how many days he will have to play, if he falls asleep, he cannot go to the court to handle political affairs, and the people of Liming will suffer.

"Are you coming? If you don't come, you will continue to sleep on the ground tonight." The queen said to the emperor coldly, without the hesitation just now.

"Come, come, I... I'm here." The emperor was a little excited, and hurried forward when he heard this, and reached the bedside one step ahead of the queen.

Seeing the scene on the bed, he froze in place.

"You mean I want to sleep like this?" The emperor asked, pointing to the two places on the bed separated by pillows.

The queen followed his line of sight, nodded not feeling anything strange, and said angrily, "Otherwise? If it wasn't for tomorrow's palace banquet that the emperor worried that you would not be able to hold on, you would have to sleep on the ground tonight."

The emperor was speechless and could only endure silently.

After all, letting him go to bed is much better than sleeping on the ground before, but the queen's temper has become more and more serious over the years. I think the two of them didn't let themselves sleep on the ground when they got angry again.

The queen herself was thinking about the emperor's body before letting him sleep on it, but she didn't know that the emperor couldn't sleep well that night hearing the sound of breathing coming from beside him, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind.

Early the next morning, because of the palace banquet, everyone in the palace got up early.

After washing and getting dressed, the queen looked at the emperor with bruises in front of her eyes, she couldn't help being taken aback, and said sarcastically: "Those who don't know think that the emperor went out to lead the army to fight last night."

The emperor thought in his heart that he would not care about the woman, so he snorted coldly and did not answer, which made the queen feel as if she had punched cotton.

In the palace of Shifang.

Xie Chen cleaned up unhurriedly, and specially chose a purple gauze dress that she seldom wore, because she knew that Xie Wan was dressed like this on this day in her previous life.

The crimson purple gauze skirt is simple in style, not as delicate as the ones she wore before. The pattern of embroidery on it is crabapple flowers. The material of this gauze skirt is excellent. Anyone who has seen the world will know that it is a royal tribute.

Fortunately, the emperor doted on her and rewarded her with a lot of brocades after entering the palace, otherwise she really couldn't find the purple dress for a while.

Because of the simple style, Xie Chen looks more generous, calm and casual, covering up the original bright, adding a touch of mystery and low-key.

The protagonists of today's palace banquet are the emperor and empress, if she deliberately dresses up, it will be a bit suspicious.

The hair is not pulled up as before, but is combed into a simple bun, with one side of the hair naturally scattered, with the tenderness of a girl of this age without being deliberate.

A pair of almond eyes look more pure and innocent after makeup. Unlike before, Xie Chen deliberately chose a light pink lip balm. In addition to fairy spirit, the whole person's temperament is more like an ignorant girl.

This will also help with the implementation of your own plans today.

The palace banquet was held from noon to night. After lunch, the imperial garden in the palace was open to outside officials and their families. During dinner, the top musicians and maikos in the palace came out to help. These are not comparable to outsiders.

Xie Chen walked to the guest banquet hall, people came one after another, she saw Shen Yuzhi and Gu Hengyu at a glance.

Thinking of what Gu Hengyu hadn't finished telling herself last night, she raised her eyebrows and walked towards them.

"From a distance, I saw a figure in various shapes and forms. I didn't expect it to be you, sister Chen!" Shen Yuzhi said when he saw Xie Chen's unscrupulous manner as always.

In the past, Xie Chen would still stare at him, but today's abnormal smile made Shen Yuzhi's heart tighten, and he had a bad premonition.

"Thank you for the compliment. Chen'er has been thinking about Master Shen very much in the palace recently, and I don't know about Master Shen's injury..." Xie Chen said to Shen Yuzhi.

Shen Yuzhi has gotten used to hearing the three words Mr. Shen recently, but he still feels a little uncomfortable when it comes out of Xie Chen's mouth.

Hearing that Xie Chen was thinking about him, he realized what he was referring to, and glared at Gu Hengyu.

Gu Hengyu shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

"Stop staring at him, tell me about your relationship with Cheng Ying after this incident?" Xie Chen asked aloud.

Gu Hengyu only told himself yesterday that Cheng Ying and Shen Yuzhi didn't speak when they met again, and stopped abruptly in the middle of the talk. Xie Chen's curiosity is eager to be satisfied now.

Shen Yuzhi pretended to be calm, and said indifferently: "Of course she came to apologize to me, my lord has forgiven her a lot."

"Really? Why didn't I know?" A sinister voice came from behind Shen Yuzhi.

Shen Yuzhi's smile froze on his face, and his back felt cold. Looking at the expression of Xie Chen in front of him staring at the joke behind him, he turned around slowly.

"I...you..." There was a tremor in Shen Yuzhi's voice that he couldn't detect, and he couldn't even finish his sentence.

"What you and me, I think you want to lie down on the bed again." Cheng Ying didn't give Shen Yuzhi the chance to continue talking.

She walked towards this side only when she saw Xie Chen and Gu Hengyu, but she didn't expect to hear Shen Yuzhi talking about herself behind her back.

Apologize?When Shen Yuzhi said that about her in front of everyone, he must be jealous that he met his lover soon, and he was still alone.

Thinking of this, Cheng Ying felt better.

When Shen Yuzhi heard the words lying on the bed, he felt pain in some places on his body.

"I just didn't fight back, otherwise how could I have been lying in bed for so many days." Shen Yuzhi added.

At that time, Cheng Ying attacked her, Shen Yuzhi never thought of fighting back, but just avoided it as much as possible, but he didn't expect that Cheng Ying, who had the demeanor of her general father, would win against him.

Cheng Ying ignored him and said to Xie Chen: "You have lived in the palace for a month, what's the matter? Don't you plan to go back to Xie's mansion?"

Cheng Ying knew that Xie Chen's presence in the palace was purely a coincidence. When her family asked her to see Fang Zhishu, she was unwilling, so she thought of Xie Chen inexplicably, and wanted her to accompany her, only to learn that Xie Chen had already entered the palace.

However, the palace is only four corners of the world, Xie Chen has lived here for almost ten years, and came back not long after returning to Xie Mansion, she really doesn't know what is good in the palace, and she is not free.

Xie Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Maybe I will go back to Xie Mansion after the palace banquet is over, and you are welcome to come to Xie Mansion to play with me then."

Gu Hengyu glanced at Xie Chen upon hearing this.

"Hmph, who said I want to play with you." Cheng Ying said arrogantly after hearing this, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
