Chapter 126 Deliberate provocation
Chapter 126 Deliberate provocation
There is an octagonal pavilion in the outer hall of Liuyun Palace. The octagonal pavilion is on a rockery not far from the pavilion. Lan Shuren was led to the octagonal pavilion by his teacher, Mr. Shi.
In the pavilion, Ruhan respectfully served fruit ice. Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu on his lap. The two of them read the same book together, talked about the various characters in the book, and enjoyed the cool breeze together.
In the octagonal pavilion, Mr. Shi was sitting aside with his eyes closed, resting. Lan Shuren was standing on the pavilion, looking out. Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, and his fingers clenched unconsciously. That was... Lan Qingwu and the Emperor. The two of them looked so harmonious and natural together. As long as they were together, no one could interfere with the atmosphere.
Lan Shuren's eyes were too focused and persistent. The sharp-featured Emperor Shenwu seemed to have noticed something. He swept his phoenix eyes lightly and accurately captured the figure of Lan Shuren. His eyes sank slightly, and his hand holding Lan Qingwu's slender waist tightened. Lan Qingwu noticed something and looked up at Emperor Shenwu.
Emperor Shenwu smiled slightly and reached out to take the bowl of ice cream with petals: "Wei Ruo, your fruit ice cream looks good. Feed it to me."
Lan Qingwu looked at Emperor Shenwu again, and always felt that something was wrong, but she would not refuse Emperor Shenwu. She took the bowl of ice, scooped up a spoonful of fruit ice and brought it directly to Shenwumen's mouth.
Emperor Shenwu opened his mouth and ate the fruit ice, but his eyes were fixed on Lan Qingwu without moving.
In the octagonal pavilion, Lan Shuren became more and more distraught. He didn't want to look anymore, but his eyes could not leave those two people. Until Lan Shuren saw Emperor Shenwu hugging the woman in his arms and kissing her lightly, tenderly and affectionately on her lips, he could no longer bear the scene that came into his eyes and took a step back involuntarily.
Emperor Shenwu gently kissed those tender lips, a kiss that was cherished and filled with infinite tenderness.
A moment later, Lan Qingwu was already fast asleep in the arms of Emperor Shenwu.
Emperor Shenwu seemed to have more time, and he spent more and more time with Lan Qingwu.
The two of them went to the beach to catch some seafood. The sea breeze gently blew on Lan Qingwu's dark hair, and they both breathed in the moist and slightly salty air of the sea. Emperor Shenwu hugged Lan Qingwu from behind, and their hair became tangled.
Hai Lansheng, who was guarding the emperor not far away, watched this scene quietly, but Hai Lanshan felt more and more uncomfortable.
Emperor Shenwu took Lan Qingwu to watch the sunrise at the seaside and went to Liuyun Island, the most famous island in Liuyun City. Liuyun Island was shaded by flowers and trees. Lan Qingwu danced gracefully under the trees, and pink and white petals fluttered down, as if they were also fascinated by Lan Qingwu's dance.
After the dance was over, the butterfly flying around Lan Qingwu lingered and landed on her fingertips. The butterfly's wings fluttered slightly, as if it was also greeting Lan Qingwu. Lan Qingwu couldn't help but smile as she looked at the beautiful butterfly.
The Emperor Shenwu, who was not far away, couldn't help but smile.
After returning from Liuyun Island, Emperor Shenwu became busy again.
That day, Lan Qingwu asked Ruping to take out all the petals she had collected. The bottles and jars that Ruping and Ruhan took out were almost filling up the stone table in the pavilion.
Ruhan murmured softly, "Master, what exactly are you going to do?"
Lan Qingwu stretched out her bare hands and gently fiddled with the colored petals: "Let's make some fragrant dew and some flower tea. Okay, shall we get started?"
Several people started to get busy.
Lan Qingwu was adjusting the flower juice in the small porcelain bottle when a slight noise came from not far away.
Lan Qingwu looked up and saw a woman with a heroic and sharp appearance confronting Baolu and Baodong.
Lan Qingwu paused slightly: "Let Miss Hai come in."
Hai Lanshan snorted lightly and strode towards the pavilion. Baolu and Baodong looked at each other and hurriedly followed. This Miss Hai didn't look like a good person, so they must not let their master suffer any more grievances.
Hai Lanshan walked up to Lan Qingwu and didn't bow, just clasping her fists casually. "Her Majesty Yipin seems quite free, even fiddling with these bottles and jars. Unlike His Majesty, who might have to review the troops and perform military exercises and go out to sea."
Lan Qingwu's smile faded slightly. It seemed even the most heroic woman couldn't escape the urge to provoke her rival.
"Miss Hai, what brings you to this audience? Your Majesty has granted me this leisure time. I am merely following His Majesty's orders and carrying out my duties."
Hai Lanshan looked Lan Qingwu up and down, her brows furrowed in confusion. "How could your majesty..." How could he like someone like this? Did men only care about looks?
Lan Qingwu put down the porcelain vase in her hand, and it made a crisp sound on the stone table. "Miss Hai, I am the master and you are the subject. What exactly is your business? And what is going on between His Majesty and me is really not your place to comment. When you have some free time, you should learn your etiquette! The etiquette you just performed was really perfunctory and rude!"
Hai Lanshan's face darkened. He actually dared to teach her a lesson. Her own brother had never spoken to her so rudely.
