, Chapter 18
Ye Qing suddenly shivered, and she said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty is awake?"
Xiao Jue did not reply, but lowered his eyes and looked at her hand that was still on her face.
Ye Qing immediately retracted his claws, but was held down by Xiao Jue.
He was lying on his side, and when he turned over, he easily pressed him up.
A handsome man who can't tell the emotion is close at hand.
Ye Qing swears that her heart has never been beating so fast, and she is like beating a drum.
Xiao Jue half-supported his body, looked at her quietly for a while, his eyes lingered, and finally fell on her pink lips like peach petals.
He gently pressed his thumb on her plump lower lip, and the slightly cool touch of his fingertips made Ye Qing tremble all over.
Xiao Jue's eyes darkened a little bit again, but he quickly got up and ordered outside the hall: "Anfu, give him strong tea."
Xiao Jue had already left the inner hall, and Ye Qing sat on the bed with the quilt in his arms, but he still couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The lower lip was always a little cool, as if the touch of Xiao Jue's fingertips remained.
Ye Qing abandoned the chaos in his heart and called Zizhu in to dress up again.
When she walked to the outer hall, Xiao Jue had already reviewed the memorial before the case. An Fu stood respectfully beside Xiao Jue with his whisk in his arms with his head hanging down.
Because of what happened just now, Ye Qing felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Xiao Jue, and did not talk to Xiao Jue, and walked to the soft place in front of the bed to bask in the sun.
The Persian cat was also afraid of Xiao Jue at first, but after these days, it seemed that it had become accustomed to having such a single biped beast in the house, and no longer bowed his back to Xiao Jue at all times. It paved its bells and pom balls all over the room, and occasionally pom balls were digging under the desk. Xiao Jue would ask An Fu to help pick them up.
Ye Qing was afraid that the Persian cat would disturb Xiao Jue from reading the memorial, so he called out: "Rice ball, come here."
When the Persian cat saw the fried golden and soft dried fish that Ye Qing took out from the plate, it instantly forgot the bell pomrose behind its head, ran over and jumped onto the soft couch, with a pair of big blue eyes as blue as gems, looking at Ye Qing with a desire.
"Meow~" The Persian cat stretched out its furry claws and urged Ye Qing's sleeves.
"After eating, go to the garden to rush to the butterflies." Ye Qing put the dried fish in the Persian cat's special meow bowl.
The Persian cat purred while eating, and Ye Qing slapped his snow-white and fluffy fur.
Xiao Jue looked up and happened to see this scene.
Ye Qing stroked the cat twice, then satisfied and picked up the glass cup placed on the table next to him and took a sip.
This glass cup was tributed by foreign countries. Although it is precious, its utensils are half-large. When the teapot is not covered, the cup is a little bigger. Moreover, people in the palace are used to making tea with high-quality porcelain; occasionally drinking is made of high-quality jade, and this glass cup is really useless.
I don’t know what it contains in the glass cup, it doesn’t look like tea, but an orange liquid that smells the fragrance and is pleasant.
Xiao Jue probably wanted to talk to Ye Qing, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of tea does the queen drink?"
Ye Qing replied: "I am not drinking tea, but citrus juice."
There are no delicious fruits and vegetables in spring, but there are quite a lot of citrus.
Citrus of this era do not have seedless cultivation technology. Although they are sweet, there are many seeds.
Ye Qing felt it was troublesome to peel the orange peel, so he slowly pulled away the white velvet on the orange flesh. He vomited seeds and was also inappropriate, so he asked the palace maid to squeeze the citrus juice.
In modern times, although orange juice is not a precious fruit, it has high nutritional value and contains a variety of vitamins. It is a must-have for health care! If you want to drink a glass of original freshly squeezed orange juice, unless you buy fruit juice yourself or go to a higher-end place to consume, otherwise the most popular ones you buy are all pigment-mixed beverages.
When Ye Qing came over, he naturally enjoyed all the life he had never enjoyed before.
Seeing that the dog emperor seemed very interested, she asked Zizhu to pour a cup for the dog emperor.
After An Fu tested it with a silver needle, Xiao Jue picked up the glass cup and drank it lightly.
The sweetness has a slight sour taste, and the fruity fragrance makes people feel endless aftertaste.
"It's pretty good." Xiao Jue gently turned the glass cup.
And it is very suitable to use a glass cup to fill this juice. If you use a tea cup or a luminous wine cup, you will lose it if you take a few sips.
Xiao Jue said: "The Queen's way of eating is quite unique. I heard that the Prince of Nan sent a batch of cherries. The Ministry of Internal Affairs should have not sent the cherries to the palaces. An Fu, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get two baskets and let the Queen squeeze the juice."
Ye Qing:!!!
Squeeze cherry juice, Dog Emperor, are you serious?
The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were extremely efficient. Not long after, two baskets of bright red cherries were sent over. The cherries were as big as fingernails with thumbs, and the fruits were round and full, which looked very tempting.
Ye Qing couldn't sit still. The color of this head is not cherry, it is clearly a cherry!
In his previous life, Ye Qing was just an ordinary working person and had not yet realized his freedom of cherries. Now that he has come to this other world, he has realized his dream!
At the moment of food, she blew a rainbow fart that was full of flowers, and then followed her to the kitchen, saying that she wanted to squeeze cherry juice for Xiao Jue in person.
Zi Zhu took a few little palace maids in the kitchen to clean the cherries, picked out the seeds inside, then took off the stems, and mashed them with a stone scoop and a stone pestle to squeeze the juice.
Ye Qing sat aside with a plate of washed cherries and watched them work.
When Zi Zhu and a few little palace maids squeezed out cherry juice, Ye Qing drank a glass first and smashed it, and then smashed it.
It may be an old saying that what you can't get is the best. Before drinking cherry juice, Ye Qing still looked forward to it, but after drinking it, I wonder if he had too high expectations, but this cherry juice did not make Ye Qing feel that it was delicious, but it was so sour.
She originally wanted to add some sugar to the purple bamboo to weaken the sour taste, but when she remembered that Xiao Jue often teased her recently, she suddenly became revenge and took the cherry juice into the hall.
"Your Majesty, this cherry juice has been squeezed out, you can try it." Ye Qing smiled flatteringly.
Xiao Jue was busy handling the memorials, but did not look up, but only ordered: "Let go."
Will he drink this or not?
Ye Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, you can try it, this is what I have personally squeezed."
This time, Xiao Jue half raised his eyes and glanced at her, signaling An Fu to take the tray.
After An Fu used silver needle to test the poison, he respectfully handed it to Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue took a sip without any warning, and his expression froze instantly.
Ye Qing felt so sad that you couldn't even bite the tofu, but her face looked expectant: "How does it taste?"
Xiao Jue picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. After pressing down the sour smell in his mouth, he glanced at Ye Qing lightly: "The queen made it by herself? Very good, good."
He said one very well and the other was good. Although his tone was light, it made Ye Qing feel a chill on his back.
She secretly regretted not provoking this evil god.
Xiao Jue put down his pen and stared at her quietly: "On the fifth day of the fourth month, I will go to Mount Tai for Fengshan."
Ye Qing felt that the day on the fifth day of the sun and the moon sounded familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that he had seen this date on that white paper.
When emperors held Fengshan, most of them made achievements, and used this to sacrifice to heaven and comfort the gods, indicating that the country was stable and the harvest was abundant.
Now the Great Han Dynasty is in troubles internally and externally. The Dog Emperor has succeeded to the throne for less than two years, and he has no achievements in getting on the table. He has a wool-like Zen!
Ye Qing felt that Xiao Jue didn't look like a foolish monarch, and Fengshan at this time always made people feel strange.
She said inexplicably: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly decide to Fengshan?"
Xiao Jue's tone was a little careless: "On the fifth day of the fourth month, Dahan will hold the summer festival every year on the beginning of summer. I see that this day is just right, and Si Tianjian also said that it was the auspicious day for Mount Tai Fengshan."
Ye Qing has no impression of the fifth day of the fourth lunar month, but he is very familiar with the summer festival on the beginning of summer.
In the memory of the former queen, on the day of the beginning of summer, the emperor would lead civil and military officials to the southern suburbs of the capital to welcome the summer and hold a ceremony for the welcome. The monarch and ministers would wear vermilion dresses and vermilion jade pendants, and even the horses and carriage flags would be vermilion red. After returning, they would have to open an ice warehouse and share the ice to the important officials of the court to show the emperor's kindness.
In the original work, the queen died on the summer festival!
In the original work, the dog emperor saw Su Ruyi at the welcome ceremony, and left the original queen and civil and military officials and chased him. When the original queen rushed over, she happened to see the thief fired a cold arrow. In desperation, she blocked the arrow for the dog emperor and got the lunch box.
Thinking of the death of the original queen, Ye Qing's hands and feet became cold even unconsciously.
Xiao Jue held up her chin with one hand and looked faintly: "The queen seems unhappy? Don't worry, I will take you with you."
The emperor has always been the only one who went to Fengshan in Mount Tai. He suddenly wanted to bring himself, the nominal queen, with him. What if she could not escape this fatalism, she would still die on the road?
Intuition tells Ye Qing that Xiao Jue changed the summer festival on the fifth day of the April 19 to the Fengshan Mountains of Mount Tai, which must have another hidden secret.
Xiao Jue's attitude towards him is indeed very different from the original work, and Ye Qing can't figure out what went wrong. The current trip to Mount Tai is definitely a huge turning point that goes against the original work plot.
If I want to save my life, the safest thing is to stay in the palace. After all, with her years of experience reading novels, 99% of leaving the palace means something will happen.
So Ye Qing nodded and said, "This...is not right. Since ancient times, the emperors went to Mount Tai to Mount Tai. I am the wife of the harem. There is no precedent for the harem to participate in the fengshan in all dynasties."
Xiao Jue looked at her with a smile: "I set this precedent."
Why does the dog emperor have to bring her?
Ye Qing racked his brains to make excuses for himself: "I... I am not feeling well these days, afraid that I will fall ill on the road and cause trouble for Your Majesty."
Xiao Jue glanced at her: "You have caused me less trouble?"
Ye Qing:...
As if he knew Ye Qing’s thoughts, he let go of the fingers pinching her chin and said, “The queen doesn’t want to go to Mount Tai. Tomorrow you will go to the mother’s harem to pay tribute to her. No matter what news you hear, don’t let her leave the Changshou Palace.”
