Return the painting

Ye Qinghuai was stunned. She had no idea that this was the thing that made Lu Yanchen hesitate to speak.

She blurted out and asked: "Why did sir suddenly mention this matter?"

"Last time, His Majesty said that he wanted to make some minor repairs. Now that more than a month has passed, I thought that Your Majesty should have repaired it."

Ye Qinghuai took a breath and wondered confusedly: Why did he suddenly and inexplicably want to take up that painting again today? Judging from this posture, he still meant to take it away.

But then she thought about it. During the Chengtianmen incident, she forced Gu Shihai so much, and she was afraid that his life in the palace would not be easy in the future. There must be Gu Shihai's spies around him. Can the things in this Wenxuan Palace be saved?

On the other hand, once someone sees this little portrait, I don’t know what trouble it will cause. If the painting is given to Lu Yanchen at this time, it can be regarded as the property of the owner, and this absurd feeling from the previous life will also be felt.

An explanation was given.

Thinking of this, she said to Lu Yanchen: "It has indeed been repaired. Please wait a moment, sir."

Soon, Ye Qinghuai pulled out the portrait. She took one last look and handed the painting to Lu Yanchen.

As for the clinker, Lu Yanchen neither thanked him nor had any intention of leaving. He looked at the painting and seemed to be in a trance. After a while, he asked: "Has your Majesty ever made a portrait of Mr. Lan?"

Ye Qinghuai was startled for a moment before he realized that he was talking about Qin Baozhu.

"No." The Chengtianmen incident was imminent and it was so urgent. How could she have the time or thought to paint?

But when Lu Yanchen asked, she suddenly realized. It seemed that her "special love" for Qin Baozhu had also reached Lu Yanchen's ears.

She thought about the cause and effect and Lu Yanchen's abnormal behavior today, then she frowned, looked at Lu Yanchen in disbelief and asked, "Sir, aren't you jealous because I have a woman?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she regretted them.

She could almost expect that Lu Yanchen would scold her with his murderous eyes and stern tone, and teach her that as a king, he should not indulge in women and should have the world in mind.

But to her surprise, Lu Yanchen didn't speak. He didn't even raise his head to look at Ye Qinghuai. His eyes were always fixed on the portrait in his hand, with a deep expression that made it difficult to see what he was thinking.

After a long time, he suddenly asked something incomprehensible: "If I have a woman, will Your Majesty be jealous?"

Ye Qinghuai was stunned by his question, but she quickly grasped the key point of Lu Yanchen's words: "Sir, does he have a woman?"

Lu Yanchen frowned slightly and raised his head to look at Ye Qinghuai. His eyes were three parts murderous, one part angry and one part resentful. Ye Qinghuai was startled and he subconsciously shrank back.

Half a body.

She seemed to see the Lu Yanchen who carried Chen Yuansi's head to the palace in his previous life and held a sword.

"No!" Lu Yanchen said a little irritably.

Ye Qinghuai looked at Lu Yanchen warily and did not dare to speak.

This was the first time she had seen Lu Yanchen like this, and he was quite angry. In the past, he had always looked like a calm and collected old gentleman in front of Ye Qinghuai. Now this description makes him look a bit like a hairy man.

What a brat.

"Sir..." Ye Qinghuai called tentatively.

Lu Yanchen suddenly raised his eyes to look at Ye Qinghuai. There was an aura of danger ready to strike in his deep eyes. Ye Qinghuai was burned by his gaze, and an instinctive fear arose in her heart.

This look impressed her deeply.

Before she committed suicide in her previous life, Lu Yanchen had looked at her with such eyes. However, he was kneeling on the ground at that time. But now he was looking down at Ye Qinghuai, with the aggression in his eyes.

Stronger.

Meeting her vigilant and innocent gaze, Lu Yanchen suddenly calmed down the sharpness in his eyes as if he had woken up. He looked at Ye Qinghuai, seeming to be confused and regretful. He lowered his head and said:

"Your Majesty is about to get engaged, so it's better to exercise restraint and not to upset the hearts of Mr. Chen Ge and the courtiers."

After saying that, he hurriedly left, looking a little embarrassed when he left.

Ye Qinghuai's heart sank inexplicably.

——

After coming out of Wenxuan Palace, Ye Qinghuai took the prepared imperial edict to Yichun Palace to have it stamped with the seal.

Logically, the jade seal should be placed in Jingshou Palace. Since she had been staying in Yichun Palace all night recently, she also placed the jade seal in Yichun Palace.

Yichun Palace is a bit lively today.

He Weishi, the deputy general manager of the imperial court, and several young eunuchs, Zhenghou, were in the courtyard. When they saw Ye Qinghuai and Li Baoquan, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

"What's going on? Everyone is gathered here." Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Master, the clothes supervisor has knitted your majesty's engagement dress, and the slaves have brought it to your majesty for you to take a look at." He Weishi said respectfully. He is also an old man in the palace. He has always been cautious and doesn't say much.

.

"Oh, yes, I forgot about this. Bring it in." Ye Qinghuai said as she walked towards the main hall of Yichun Palace. Recently, she has been reading and working in this room except at night.

"You all go out, Aunt Fanghua will help me try on my clothes." Ye Qinghuai glanced at the red wedding dress that looked grandly decorated, and said to He Weishi.

"Your Majesty, the Clothes Supervisor has specifically told me that this dress is a bit complicated and requires two people to help me put it on," He Weishi said.

Ye Qinghuai frowned, the inner court had good intentions in these matters.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lan made some soup for you and told your servant to inform her as soon as you come back. Or can you call her to help you change your clothes?" Aunt Fanghua said at the right time.

"Okay." After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, he said to He Weishi, "Go and call Li Baoquan in."

He Weishi immediately bowed and led the people back out.

Ye Qinghuai did not rush to try on the clothes. She walked to the desk, took out three imperial edicts from her sleeves, read them again, then took off the jade seal from the desk and solemnly stamped the seals one by one.

After she finished covering it, Li Baoquan came in from the outside and saluted Ye Qinghuai under the case.

"Li Baoquan, come here." Ye Qinghuai said, but did not take his eyes away from the imperial edict in front of him.

Li Baoquan stood up and walked to Ye Qinghuai's side.

"Come and see what I have planned." Ye Qinghuai said.

The same words were written on the three imperial edicts, but the objects were different and the edicts were not long. Li Baoquan took a quick look at it and was a little surprised and said: "Your Majesty..."

Ye Qinghuai interrupted him: "I have a very important task for you."

She raised her head and looked at Li Baoquan seriously, and said word by word: "When it gets dark, select a few people from the Zuo Yamen Guards, take these three imperial edicts and go out of the palace to garrison in the capital.

The Tianwei Guards, Shenwei Guards and the Nine Gate Guards of the capital went to announce the decree in turn. Do you understand?"
