There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 168 Action
May passed by in a hurry, and the news of Princess Chen's suicide also disappeared with time.

In a place like the capital where gossip is full of gossip every day, this kind of thing will naturally not attract people's attention for too long.

In a blink of an eye, it is June, and it is the hottest season of the year.

The empress lost power, Concubine Chen took charge of the palace affairs, Xia Houjing finally had a chance to visit Li Guiren.

Tang Wanning learned that everything was fine for the mother and son, so she never approached her again. She has always believed in giving charcoal in a timely manner and icing on the cake.

So she had nothing to do, so she stayed in Yuqing Palace all day and didn't go out much.

Xia Houjue has been going smoothly recently.

First, he severely injured the queen's party, and even avenged the eldest wife. Now even the household department is doing well.

Even if the father and the emperor's officials are not strictly controlled, and the ministers of the DPRK and China take bribes and form cliques for personal gain, a considerable part of these official banks will be filled into private pockets.

But it is better to have money and food than nothing, which is always a good thing.

It is also because of this that he has been in a good mood recently. The most direct expression is that he has been running diligently to the backyard.

This afternoon.

Tang Wanning was teasing the cat on the porch, and because she was a little sleepy from playing, she leaned on the wisteria recliner and took a nap.

She changed from the red dress she used to wear, and only wore a pure white undershirt with a long lake blue tulle skirt over it.

She was lazily lying on the wisteria wicker chair, her legs were raised up casually, the tulle was casually hanging on one side, and Daju was lying lazily under the wicker chair.

Occasionally a breeze blows, and the tulle is lifted high. When the big orange is interested, it raises its furry little paws and jumps to catch it.

It's so cute when it's still and moving.

Xia Houjue saw such a scene when he entered the door, and he was stunned after just one glance.

This woman, she... is too bold!
Although this is the Chaoluan Hall, there are people coming and going here, and someone will come to visit at any time, and she is lying on the porch dressed like this.

What if the sixth brother came in to find her and didn't quite bump into her? Isn't she afraid of ruining her reputation?Wait, why does he always think of sixth brother recently?He doesn't seem to have been to Chaoluan Hall very often.

Forget it, even if the sixth brother didn't come, it would be indecent for this woman to lie here dressed like this. No one in the palace is well-dressed and well-groomed, only this woman is at ease like no one else.

He stepped forward with a dark face, took off his black thin shirt and waved it lightly, wrapping her all around her.

Tang Wanning was awakened by a hot and stuffy feeling. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xia Houjue sitting on the wicker chair opposite her, drinking tea leisurely.

Looking down again, he was covered with a thin black shirt.

"Hello!" Tang Wanning frowned immediately.

"It's not cold when I sleep here, why are you like this?"

"I'm not stupid, I know you're not cold!" Xia Houjue poured tea slowly.

"Then... why are you wrapping me up so tightly? Are you trying to heat me to death?" She lifted up the thin shirt and put it aside.

"You should leave such hot clothes for yourself, I don't need this!"

After she finished speaking angrily, she fanned her fan, her cheeks flushed from the heat, and the tip of her nose was sweating.

Xia Houjue just stared at her without saying a word, just watching while drinking tea.

At the end, he suddenly got up and picked her up, striding towards the room.

"Since my concubine is sleepy, she should just stay in the room and sleep. What's wrong with sleeping on the porch? If other men see it, wouldn't it be disrespectful?"

It wasn't until this moment that Tang Wanning figured out what was going on behind her paralyzed face.

It turned out that he felt that sleeping on the porch was a bit indecent, tsk tsk tsk, this man didn't care about anything, but in fact he was quite lenient.

She unconsciously hugged his neck and looked up at him.

The bright summer sun just hit his face, clearly illuminating his delicate facial features with sharp edges and corners, and even brought a faint halo around him.

A gust of wind blew, and his thin black clothes were blown up by the wind, and his broad sleeves stretched in the wind.

An elegant and distant fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose, and she unconsciously closed her eyes to smell it carefully.

At this moment, Xia Houjue suddenly kissed her on the forehead.

Under the corridor and in the courtyard, he kept walking and kissing, with striding strides, and his clothes fluttering.

"Wanwan!" His voice was dark and hoarse, like a curse, which destroyed the last trace of reason in Tang Wanning's heart.

So handsome, this man is too handsome to look directly at, let's take advantage of it first.

So she accidentally dropped a kiss on his rolling Adam's apple.

At that moment, her cheeks were even more flushed, like the most gorgeous haze under the summer sunset.

"Wanwan, you..."

Xia Houjue's footsteps faltered, and he took even more strides.

When the inner room finally arrived, he waved back and gently placed her on the couch.

At this moment, Tang Wanning's face was flushed to the ears, and she turned away quickly, not daring to look at his face.

Xia Houjue sat down beside her and forcibly turned her face away.

"What is Wan Wan doing? Just now it wasn't..."

"Just now, now is now, don't take it seriously!" She blushed and jumped off the couch, turned around and ran out again, leaving him alone.

Xia Houjue was stunned for a long time, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Could it be... shy?"

……

That night, he did not stay in the main courtyard, but rested in the study.

He didn't go there in the next few days, not only the main courtyard, but also the backyard.

After a long time, Tang Wanning didn't say anything, and the women in the backyard couldn't sit still, and started talking in twos and threes.

"Hey, do you feel that His Royal Highness seems to be... a little weak..."

"Yes, I have!"

At a certain time and place in the backyard, several women got together to discuss the most secretive matters. As long as one person raised the questions buried in their hearts, they would be out of control.

"I used to think that it was the Empress Dowager who was favored, but now it seems that the Empress Dowager may not be favored either!"

"Isn't it? It's been almost half a month, and His Royal Highness hasn't even entered the backyard!"

"Don't care if it's Lady Meng, Lady Yun or Master Liu, I haven't seen His Highness before, which is too strange. I heard the old mother say that this man is in his youth, and he can't do without a woman! "

"Oh, what should we do then? Our Yuqing Palace doesn't even have a little master!"

"If this is true, isn't our Highness?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Yeah, how can this work, we have to think of a way!"

"It's not as good as us..."

Several women muttered and discussed for a while, and finally everyone came to the same conclusion, that is to make up.

The reason is simple.

His Royal Highness must have been too tired to hurt his body some time ago, so let's make up for it, and make up for what is lacking.

After the idea was discussed, the women took action the next day.
