There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 135
"Of course, Yun Shi still needs to be careful!" She frowned lightly.

The queen's party has just suffered a big loss. The queen can't get out but her minions are everywhere. If the other party does something unscrupulous, she can't be unprepared, right?
"Master, don't worry, the slave has already sent someone to watch!" Bi Luo laughed.

"That's it!"

Tang Wanning smiled and said nothing more.

……

Halfway through the twelfth lunar month, Xia Houjue hadn't set foot in the backyard for half a month.

He finished his busy affairs on this day, and it was almost dark.

Snow fell outside, the north wind howled, and the sound of snow particles hitting the glazed tiles came from outside the window, making the room extremely warm.

He was sitting in front of the desk while sipping tea while casually flipping through military books. The comfortable atmosphere made him relax on the soft cushion behind him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

When I was feeling comfortable, I heard Li Dequan suddenly come to report.

"Your Highness! Lady Meng is here!"

"Meng Shi?" Xia Houjue's face sank subconsciously, "What is she doing here?"

"Meng Niangniang said that there are a few things that need to be reported to His Highness!" Li Dequan's nose was sweating, and his face was nervous.

Xia Houjue hesitated for a moment: "Let her in!"

"Yes!"

Meng Shi obviously came prepared.

She was wearing a snow-white fox-fur cloak, inside which was the palace dress embroidered with begonia flowers in lotus root powder that she most often wore when she first entered the palace.

At that time, he often praised her as beautiful as a peach and plum, and as delicate as a begonia. She deliberately wore this one tonight, and the meaning was self-evident.

"The concubine sees Your Highness!"

After entering the door, Meng Yuyao saluted respectfully.

"Get up!" Xia Houjue's tone was indifferent, expressionless, and he didn't relax because the woman in front of him was his old lover.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Meng Yuyao lowered her eyes, slowly got up from the ground and stood aside.

After taking off the fox fur cloak, she took an account book from the maid and handed it over.

"It's really a concubine's helplessness to bother me, Your Highness Haihan, there are a few items in our Yuqing Palace that are different from previous years, please give your Highness personal instructions."

Meng Yuyao's voice was very gentle, and her gestures carried the temperament of a scholarly family lady, and her beautiful appearance under the lamp made her more charming than Huajiao.

Xia Houjue was unmoved at all.

He picked up the account book and saw that several expenses belonged to the front yard, so he didn't ask any more questions, and handed the account book to Meng Yuyao again after taking a pen and giving a brief instruction.

"The management is good, the organization is clear and simple, you have worked hard." He boasted symbolically.

Meng Yuyao blushed and lowered her head.

"Your Highness, I appreciate it. As long as I can share the worries for Your Highness, no matter how hard the concubine works, it will be worth it!" With a soft tone, blushing cheeks, pink cheeks and tender eyes, and a pair of eyes full of affection.

She lowered her head and waited, but she didn't wait for the expected tenderness, but instead waited for the eviction order.

"If you don't have anything to do, go down first. There are still important things to do." Xia Houjue's expression was flat, and he turned his eyes to the book again.

Meng Yuyao bit her lip unwillingly.

"Your Highness hasn't had dinner yet!"

"The concubine knows how hard it is for you to take care of everything, so I specially asked the small kitchen to cook chicken soup with mushrooms to supplement your highness. No matter how busy you are, you must take care of your body..."

Her words were soft and timid, like a little daughter-in-law who caresses her husband and teaches her son to serve her husband. It seems that her ambitions, methods, and collusion with the queen never happened.

Xia Houjue didn't follow her.

"Gu knows, just ask someone to bring it over later, you go down first!" She still didn't look at her, and only looked at the book in her hand.

Meng Yuyao was deeply shocked, she bit her lip and trembled slightly.

"Yes! The concubine will leave now!"

She bent over and slowly backed out, with extreme resentment hidden in her eyes.

Today is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and every fifteenth day is the day when His Highness goes to the Crown Princess's place.

Back when the Crown Princess had just entered the palace, His Highness hadn't set foot in the main courtyard for a long time, and spent the whole time in her Nongcui residence.

At that time, what was the first and fifteenth day of the new year, and what was the main concubine and side concubine, she was everything, she was the only one, and she just spoiled the backyard.

But now?

She wanted to try it on the fifteenth day, but she didn't expect it to end like this. His Royal Highness didn't even look at her more.

It's only been a year or two, why has everything turned upside down?
Could it be that the Crown Princess is really as people say, she doesn't distinguish between high and low in front of the Crown Prince, big or small, and even doesn't show her face to His Highness?
Such a woman, can she really catch the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince?Why can't I figure it out.

……

Xia Houjue was very upset.

These days, all the women in the backyard should come, and all the women who should be flattered have been flattered.

Only that woman, how could she sit still, how could she be so at ease.

Isn't she afraid that she will fall out of favor and lose her status in the backyard?She is not afraid of anything?It's exactly the same as when he first met her, what a mess!
Thinking that today is fifteen.

Xia Houjue decided to give Tang Wanning a good slap in the face.

So he changed his mind again and went to Meng Yuyao's Nongcui Residence before dinner.

It was really snowing outside. When he was wrapped in a black cloak and stepped on buckskin boots and stood in front of Nongcuiju's gate, images from a year ago flashed through his mind.

At that time, the queen of the harem still covered the sky with one hand.

At that time, he was still blindfolded, thinking that all the women in the backyard had their own merits, and she was the only one who didn't look like a woman in men's clothing.

And a year later, he suddenly laughed at himself, he even changed his aesthetics, look what kind of woman he likes.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

As soon as Li Dequan announced the announcement, Meng Yuyao came out with a face of joy, not even wearing a coat.

Xia Houjue didn't come to feel sorry for her, so he didn't feel sorry for her at all, and went straight into the room.

What happened afterward was the most common dinner, which was very sumptuous, and Meng Yuyao served her very well during the dinner, and Xia Houjue used it quite comfortably.

After dinner.

Xia Houjue was reading a book under the lamp, and Meng Yuyao pressed his shoulders for him with moderate strength and precise positioning. It can be seen that she has worked hard.

Xia Houjue narrowed his eyes comfortably.

But damn it, the image of that woman is still in his mind.

It would be great if this was Tang Wanning's hand. When will that stupid woman serve him so carefully like a husband?
Ugh!
A certain prince sighed, and his heart felt cold.

An hour later, it was time to rest.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Xia Houjue looked at Meng Yuyao, who was slim and shy, and felt extremely resistant.

Not only do they not want to touch it, they can't even stand sleeping in the same bed.

After thinking about it, Xia Houjue still ordered Meng Yuyao to sleep on the bed, while she rested on the soft couch.

Meng Yuyao was stunned, as if struck by a thunderbolt.

That heart was shattered to pieces, never to be restored again.

She suddenly burst into tears. In this case, she might as well not come, why did she come again? !

She is now not even qualified to share the bed?This is her husband!
