Lengmei was really jealous and even getting mad. How could Tang Xia gain Chu Tiankuo's love? She could only stay aside, but could do nothing.
The next day, when finding the weather was good, Tang Xia came to the garden and planned to make some flower cakes for Chu Tiankuo. However, she found she was unlucky to meet Lengmei when she arrived at the garden.
Lengmei was the person she disliked most, but the former rushed towards her in a hurry and did not give her a chance to leave. Lengmei wore a pink robe, setting her figure glamorous and bringing a sense of cool beauty.
However, compared with Tang Xia, she was still inferior too much. Tang Xia wore a white long dress, setting her face more tender. Her appearance was beautiful enough to conquer the whole city or country. Besides, her slim waist could attract all the people's attention.
There was only a white ribbon tied her black hair. She was like an extraordinary fairy who came
"Your Grace, you must take care of your body. Though cold is not a big disease, you should also take it seriously. Otherwise, it won't be good if your disease becomes heavy..." Lyuyou exhorted her carefully and naturally put the cloth on Tang Xia. Her delicate face showed out a little worry. Normally, her master was healthy enough and not easy to get cold! Why did she suddenly feel sick? Tang Xia leaned on the red cassia soft couch and continued to make several sneezes. The expression on her face showed that she was obviously uncomfortable! "I know, I know. You always talk too much, and I am gone crazy..." Looking at the loyal and careful Lyuyou, Tang Xia smiled. "If the emperor comes to me, you can tell him I have already fallen into sleep and don't let him in!" Tang Xia made an order carefully and was afraid that Lyuyou would let the tricky emperor in. Lyuyou nodded her head. Tang Xia was her maste
Hearing Lyuyou's words, Tang Xia was shocked in her mind. If this soup was sent by Chu Tiankuo deliberately, why did he treat her like this... Thinking of this, Tang Xia's heart turned cold. She lowered her head and could not help laughing. If she was right, their affection might reach the ending. Looking at Tang Xia's sadness, Lyuyou also felt upset. She walked behind her and persuaded her at a low voice. "Your Grace, don't think too much. What if the emperor makes something wrong?" Tang Xia pursed her lips and looked at herself in the mirror. She asked, "Do you think he really could make such a mistake?" Lyuyou opened her mouth but did not know what she should say. As Tang Xia said, Chu Tiankuo could never make such a mistake. After a long while, Tang Xia suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice, "If the emperor comes over here, you could tell him I'm not feeling good and ask him to go somewhere else."
As the weather was good, Lengmei reclined comfortably on the couch, bathed in the sunshine. When she was about to pick up a grape and put it into her mouth with her slender fingers, Lengmei paused as if she had thought of something. Then she put the grape back and beckoned one of her maids over. "What has the bitch Tang Xia been doing these days?" Lengmei asked lazily, raising her eyes slightly. "Your Grace." The maid bowed to Lengmei and whispered in her ear, "According to the spy's report, the empress is practicing novel dance in her yard as if she is plotting something." Lengmei snorted as she looked into the distance, muttering, "Hm, it seems that what I've done is not enough! How could that bitch practice dancing leisurely?" Lengmei stood up from the couch immediately. "You, change the dress for me. I need to go out." That maid found the new dress delivered by the Garment Department from Lengmei
As Tang Xia was held by Chu Tiankuo's arms, she was led to the platform by Chu Tiankuo and danced the waltz with him in trance. Before the dance was completed, Tang Xia lost her breath because of tiredness which made her more charming. At the sight of this beautiful woman, Chu Tiankuo's eyes were glistering. As Chu Tiankuo's eyes became gentler, he raised her hand to fix Tang Xia's straggling hair but paused when he found that Tang Xia's eyes were clear containing no emotions as if she was dancing with a stranger! Chu Tiankuo's hand froze for a moment, then he stroke Tang Xia's face naturally with a smile on his mouth and asked with concern, "What have you been doing these days? Is everything OK? I've been so busy that I haven't seen you for a long time!" Tang Xia's relaxed body became alerted immediately and thought, 'Is he sounding me out?' Then Tang Xia wore a slightly stiff smile to
As Tang Xia settled back on the chair, she watched fiery-red sunset clouds, squinting her eyes in a trance. Since Chu Tiankuo walked off in a huff last time, he had never come for Tang Xia again as if he was quite angry with her. "However, should he put the blame on me?" "It was he who was indifferent to me first, so I ignored him in return." In Tang Xia's view, Chu Tiankuo was a great guy except for his pride and arrogance, which made her unsure sometimes what on earth she meant to him. As Tang Xia was carried away by her fancy in a trance, Lyuyou came from outside and asked with concern, "Your Grace, what are you thinking about?" Tang Xia raised her head and fixed her eyes on the object in Lyuyou's left hand, saying, "What is in your hand?" Lyuyou put the note on the table in front of Tang Xia and said with her eyebrows knitted, "Someone told me to take this to you. But I have no idea
After Chu Tiankuo dealt with affairs of state the next day, the scene of last night played back continuously in his mind. Chu Tiankuo became angrier and angrier, so he decided to vent his anger! "Little Orange, deliver my decree: Helian Jue will be punished." After hearing Chu Tiankuo's words, Little Orange was so afraid that he knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, please think twice! As Helian Jue is the emperor of the former dynasty, some remaining evils haven't claimed the allegiance and some secrets are still unknown. You shouldn't kill Helian Jue now!" Little Orange knew that Chu Tiankuo wanted to kill Helian Jue because of the empress. However, troubles would definitely arise from the former dynasty if Helian Jue was dead! It was not worth letting troubles arise from the former dynasty and hiding the unknown secrets just for a woman! Moreover, the empress would definitel
Hearing that Chu Tiankuo would execute Helian Jue the next day, Tang Xia flushed angrily with her beautiful eyes wide open and thought, "I did it for you! How could you irritate me like this?!" Tang Xia fixed her eyes on Chu Tiankuo, "I have told you not to kill him! What do you mean?!" As Chu Tiankuo turned his back to Tang Xia with his hands behind, he composed himself and said with deep eyes to a servant who lowered his head, "Don't you see that my empress is tired now? Hurry to send her back!" "Chu Tiankuo, what do you mean by saying so? Are you imprisoning me?" Tang Xia questioned Chu Tiankuo loudly with an unconvinced appearance. Chu Tiankuo did not respond to Tang Xia's words. He just squinted at the servant who just stood aside. At this moment, his eyes were filled with extreme coldness, which was quite terrifying. That servant was so frightened by Chu Tiankuo's coldness that he
Another room in the palace. Thin vapor emerged from behind the screen, making the whole room misty. With her beautiful hair loose and wet, Lengmei stood up in the bath tub and stepped out with the help of a maid. As soon as she left the tub, another maid dried her body with a towel and wrapped her in a bathrobe. And another maid wiped her hair carefully with a handkerchief of flower fragrance. Lengmei walked up slowly to her dresser and looked at herself in the mirror. These days she lived a comfortable and carefree life, and her beautiful face turned more charming than before. At this thought, her lips curled to a smile. Her smile turned into happy laughter as she contemplated her increasing beauty in the mirror to her satisfaction. After a while, she asked the maid on her side while combing her hair, "What's the Queen doing these days? What about His Majesty?" One of the maids replied instantly.
