Chapter 589 Thunderstorm Night
Tomorrow is the grand day when Meng Zhao, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, enters the palace.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Jiang Yuebai turned off the lights early and went to bed. I was actually lying on the bed, using AI to learn intermediate swordsmanship. Although he couldn't actually practice it, it didn't stop Jiang Yuebai from imagining it in his mind.
Li Beichen returned to the Qinzheng Hall, ready to continue approving the meeting's excerpts. After approving the excerpts, he would read the Twenty-Four Histories for a while. Then I took a shower and went to sleep.
Maybe I was too diligent in the past few days and finished approving the secret folding that had accumulated for a month. It was too laborious and laborious. When he finally returned to the Qinzheng Hall, he couldn't cheer up at all.
Li Beichen leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
My left arm still hurts a little, but I can bear it. Jiang Yu made a small opening to drain out the pus, cleaned it up, and stuffed some medicine into it. The broken palm is very strong, but you can't use too much force. Li Beichen simply tried not to use his left hand.
Ice cubes were placed in the room, the temperature was suitable, and wisps of cool air penetrated the nostrils.
Suddenly he sneezed.
Li Beichen was thinking for a moment, who is missing me. A name flashed in my mind.
He still dreams about Jiang Yuebai every day.
In the dream, he was free to be himself in various scenarios, and fell in love with her freely, without worrying that his favor would cause harm to her.
The two of them did many interesting things together in their dreams and were so happy. He believed that if he were not the emperor, and if they were just ordinary people, they would be a couple of gods and immortals for the rest of their lives.
It's just that he is not an ordinary person.
Many clips of her time together with Jiang Yuebai flashed through her mind, and the scene was fixed on that night when she dropped from the sky with the head of Prince Pingxi.
The longing was as hot as fire, making his whole body restless and making him feel bone-gnawing discomfort.
After thinking about it for a moment, Li Beichen ordered Liang Xiaobao to pick up Ye Suhua in person and go to Qianqing Palace to sleep with him.
When the Chun'en sedan stopped at Jingyang Palace, everyone thought it was to pick up Lady Xie. After all, she had just accompanied her on a night trip and had just finished bathing and changing clothes.
According to the rules, the young eunuch from the respect room comes to pick people up. It is rare that the chief eunuch around the emperor comes to pick someone up personally.
Xie Guiren greeted him in the courtyard with a spring breeze on his face and a smile on his face.
She was about to walk towards the sedan when she heard Liang Xiaobao say, "My queen, wait a moment."
Xie Guiren stopped in surprise. At this time, Ye Suhua hurriedly walked to Liang Xiaobao with the palace maid, saying with a smile that he was late.
Liang Xiaobao bowed to Concubine Shun respectfully and said, "Concubine Shun, please come."
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Concubine Shun Ye Suhua.
Ye Suhua raised his chin, looked calm and composed, glanced at Xie Guiren, and got on the sedan proudly.
Xie Guiren stared blankly at Chun En's sedan chair as it left the yard, feeling disappointed as much as she hoped. Her eyes darkened, her body went limp, and she fainted.
The day was sultry, thunder rolled through the dark clouds, and it started to rain.
The candlelight in the hall flickered, and the ambergris in the Boshan furnace was ethereal.
It's unclear why, but Li Beichen's attitude towards sleeping in has changed since the imperial commander came back from his personal expedition.
It is no longer as resistant and indifferent as before, but as a way to relax body and mind.
However, I felt very bad today. After a while, I lost interest. I didn't care about the rain outside, so I ordered someone to send Ye Suhua back.
Soon after, it rained heavily, and Li Beichen felt extremely hot and irritable because he did not get relief.
Among so many concubines, only when I was with Jiang Yuebai, did I feel a lot of new fun and the joy of letting myself go.
He liked her shyness and her boldness.
He likes to hear the whispers on her lips, and likes her expressions and movements to tell him how she feels.
I like to hear her couldn't help but praise him for his awesomeness.
Instead of making a fortune like other concubines in silence, not daring to move or speak. He didn't even bother to tell them that they didn't have to abide by the palace rules and just made noises when they needed to.
Li Beichen's heart surged as he thought about it. In the past, Taorui Palace was far away, but now Ning'an Palace is right next to Qinzheng Palace.
Without thinking much, Li Beichen took Liang Xiaobao to Ning'an Palace in the rain.
The clothes were stained with rainwater and the shoes were soaked. Who knew that they were rejected.
Jiang Yuebai had already gone to bed early. Li Chun and Xia Zhi guarded the door.
Seeing the emperor coming in the rain, the two maids were frightened.
Xia Zhi handed Li Beichen a letter, reporting that the empress had told him to wait until he returned to Qinzheng Palace before opening it.
Saying this aroused Li Beichen's curiosity even more, "Do you know that I'm coming tonight?"
Xia Zhi and the others shook their heads, "I don't know."
Li Beichen saw that he couldn't get any answers, so he stopped asking. I couldn't wait to open the envelope.
I saw two poems written in beautiful small regular script inside: "One night, light thunder falls on thousands of silk threads, and the lightning flashes on the tiles are jagged."
Li Beichen immediately recited the second half of the poem written by Qin Guan in his mind, "The loving peony is filled with tears in spring, and the powerless rose lies on the dawn branch."
Thinking of their madness that day, his cheeks burned, his heart beat wildly, he held the letter in his hand and pushed the door open.
But the room was dark, with only a small candle lit in the corner. It was so quiet that you could hear your own breathing.
Xia Zhi knelt outside and whispered, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My Majesty, I didn't sleep well in the past few days, so I took medicine and fell asleep today."
Li Beichen was stunned for a moment. Didn't he sleep well in the past few days?
Looking at the hazy outline of the room, he stopped, turned around and walked out, not forgetting to close the door gently.
The gentle brows and eyes just now returned to an unattainable sense of alienation.
"Take good care of your mother-in-law."
Just at this moment, a flash of lightning flashed, and suddenly there was a thunder. "Li Chun!" A short exclamation sounded in the room.
Li Chun quickly saluted the emperor and was about to speak, but the emperor covered her mouth.
Li Beichen wrung out the rainwater from his clothes, stamped his feet to disperse the moisture, and then entered the house.
Relying on his familiarity with Ning'an Palace and the faint light, he walked to the front of the collapse.
Jiang Yuebai opened his hazy eyes, stared at Li Beichen, and shouted doubtfully, "Your Majesty? Am I not dreaming?"
"You're not dreaming." Li Beichen's deep voice was unusually gentle.
Jiang Yuebai asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Suddenly it turned into concern, "It's very dangerous with thunder and rain outside."
Then he said in a reproachful tone, "It's raining outside, and the Emperor's clothes may not be all wet. Please let me warm you up."
Caution Electricity. Otherwise the whole play will be over.
Li Beichen was even more moved.
When he visits others, he always pretends to be weak and pitiful, hoping that he will love and comfort them.
Jiang Yuebai is different. In Jiang Yuebai's place, he was the one who was loved and comforted. He Fei is also so gentle and considerate, but she is not as smart and interesting as Jiang Yuebai.
Li Beichen had a lot to say in his heart, but in the end he said, "I just came to see you."
He didn't say it was intentional, Jiang Yuebai knew it was intentional.
"Xia Zhi, hurry up and make a bowl of ginger soup and bring it over. Li Chun, come over and wipe the water for the emperor."
Li Beichen took Jiang Yuebai's hand: "You still can't bear to leave me, right?"
Jiang Yuebai turned away and said angrily, "Your Majesty's words yesterday did not count. My concubine..."
Before Jiang Yuebai finished speaking, Li Beichen lifted Jiang Yuebai's chin, leaned down and kissed her lips.
Jiang Yuebai struggled deliberately, showing that he was angry and jealous.
But Li Beichen hugged her tighter, "Don't be angry, hold me."
Isn't he suffering a lot?
The sweet and passionate kiss ignited all Li Beichen's thoughts for the past month.
The room was lit with candles, and it suddenly became much brighter.
Li Chun brought a towel, but Li Beichen refused to let Li Chun serve him. He stuffed the towel into Jiang Yuebai's hand and laid it on her chest.
Bursts of thunder rolled past.
Jiang Yuebai wiped Li Beichen's hair, but his body trembled involuntarily with the thunder. Li Beichen hugged her tightly calmly.
The rain outside the window was pouring heavily.
"Are you afraid of thunder?"
Jiang Yuebai helplessly replied: "A little bit."
Li Beichen smiled and said, "I really didn't expect you to be afraid of anything. I thought you were not afraid of anything."
Jiang Yuebai nodded sheepishly, "Because it will scare people."
Just as another bolt of lightning struck, she quickly covered her ears.
boom!
Li Beichen stood up and covered her ears.
After the thunder passed, Jiang Yuebai asked with concern, "Your Majesty, how is the injury on your left hand? Does your wrist still hurt?"
Li Beichen's heart felt warm and he pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's okay."
"Let me take a look."
Jiang Yuebai held Li Beichen's hand and carefully turned it over and over to check, "It looks like there is no change. Can you use your strength?"
Li Beichen smiled and held Jiang Yuebai's little hand with his backhand, stroking the back of Jiang Yuebai's hand with his thumb, "It's okay."
In fact, it's really useless. So he will never use the position of supporting his wrists on the bed now.
He stared at Jiang Yuebai intently, and there was a ferocious and huge beast roaring in his body, ready to jump out at any time, and about to explode in waves like thunder.
It seems like every time I look at it, the feeling gets stronger.
Worried about hurting Jiang Yuebai, she could only force it down and lift up Jiang Yuebai's sleeves, "Why didn't you wear the bracelet I gave you?"
"Such a rare treasure, naturally I'm waiting for the emperor to come and put it on my concubine." Jiang Yuebai smiled mischievously.
"Okay. I'll put it on for you." Li Beichen's tone was full of doting.
Li Beichen found the bracelet himself and put it on Jiang Yuebai solemnly.
"Your Majesty is so kind to me, I don't even know how to repay you." The girl's voice was delicate.
Li Beichen's heart trembled when he heard it, "I'll remember it first."
It rained heavily. Crackling.
The two of them remembered Qin Guan's poems at the same time. The atmosphere was very ambiguous.
Li Beichen suddenly turned to look at Jiang Yuebai and said quietly, "Jiaojiao, I do many things for your own good. I hope you don't hate me."
Jiang Yuebai thought he was talking about deliberately neglecting her these past few days, "I understand."
Li Beichen gently stroked Jiang Yuebai's head, "Xiang Meng's daughter will enter the palace tomorrow."
Tomorrow is the grand day when Meng Zhao, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, enters the palace.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Jiang Yuebai turned off the lights early and went to bed. I was actually lying on the bed, using AI to learn intermediate swordsmanship. Although he couldn't actually practice it, it didn't stop Jiang Yuebai from imagining it in his mind.
