Chapter 127 Queen Zhang’s Disappointment…

After all the dishes were served, several people began to use their bowls and chopsticks at the greeting of Empress Dowager Chen...

Xu Boqing could clearly feel that under his guidance, there was a cold little foot under the table running along his ankle, and his calf was gently rubbing upwards...

Very wonderful…

Concubine Liu's cheeks were a little hot, and her peach blossom eyes were full of nervousness. She glanced at the few good sisters around her and saw that no one was paying attention to her while they were chatting. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the extent of teasing the thieves became larger.

some.

Suddenly…

Queen Mother Chen glanced at her and said with an inexplicable smile: "Why is Sister Liu's face so rosy?"

"ah……"

Concubine Liu was startled and subconsciously wanted to close her feet, but found that her feet were clamped by the thief's legs again...

The watery peach blossom eyes turned, and she calmly picked up the fruit wine in front of her and said: "I am too drunk. I just drank some fruit wine and felt that my cheeks were a little hot."

"Oh~"

Queen Mother Chen saw Xu Boqing beside her solemnly drinking a glass of fruit wine. She smiled with a sudden realization and said nothing more...

She has personally experienced the tricks of the little thief.

The other Empress Zhang, who had experienced the tricks, looked a little strange. Seeing that Concubine Liu was sitting a little forward, she glanced at the table and seemed to have guessed something.

His face was still cold, but he was already secretly shouting in his heart: 'You two bitches, you are so shameless in public.'

Concubine Liu felt the warmth on her feet, glanced at several good sisters, and thought to herself that her acting skills were good enough.

On the other side, Concubine Zhou also picked up the fruit wine in the cup and said to Xu Boqing: "I have long heard that Governor Xu is young and promising, and has excellent martial arts. It is my great fortune to meet him today."

"The queen is so impressed..."

Seeing this, Xu Boqing also picked up the wine glass and drank it.

Concubine Zhou then looked at Empress Dowager Chen and said, "Sister, don't be surprised. In addition to greeting my sister, I came to Cining Palace today with some personal matters."

"oh?"

Empress Dowager Chen was surprised. In fact, she also knew that the sisters here came here with more or less personal matters, but she still pretended not to know and said: "Sister, if you have anything to do, you may as well speak up."

"It has something to do with Governor Xu..."

"I?"

Xu Boqing was slightly startled, and also pretended to be "I don't know anything" and said, "I wonder why the empress wants to see me?"

"It's not that I'm looking for Governor Xu."

Concubine Zhou smiled slightly and said: "My Jing'er came to the palace today to look for me. He said that he and Governor Xu had a very good chat yesterday. We were so late to meet each other. He also knew that I had a sworn relationship with the Queen Mother, so he asked me to give him to Governor Xu.

The Lord forwards an invitation..."

After saying that, he stood up, took out a red invitation, handed it over, and explained with a smile: "In the new year, the palace will be happy to have a grandson, and it will be his birthday in a few days.

He should have paid a visit in person to deliver the invitation.

It's just that Prince Jing's palace is busy with affairs inside and outside, and he doesn't have a greeting card, so he can't come to Cining Palace, so he asked me, the mother-in-law, to take care of it for him. I hope Governor Xu will forgive me if it's not in line with etiquette."

"Your Majesty, your words are serious..."

After some hesitation, Xu Boqing accepted the invitation and said, "I will go to the banquet then..."

Queen Zhang, who was beside him, could not help but look a little colder when she saw this, and her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly...

She thought about how she would feed a thief and save her son;

Thinking of returning to her parents' home, her biological father pretended to be sick and refused to see her;

Thinking of what I vowed to boast in front of my children today;

Thinking of the tears I shed while writing the letter before;

I also thought that I naively thought that Xu Boqing would be partial to me because of old feelings...

But now...

All imaginations burst like bubbles!!

She felt like a clown in a play, and the humiliation pouring out of her heart was like a landslide and a tsunami, threatening to overwhelm her mind...

If there were no outsiders here, she would even want to cry loudly to vent the grievances and depression accumulated in her heart...

Empress Zhang took a deep breath, stood up and said to Empress Dowager Chen: "Sister, I suddenly feel a little unwell, so I won't stay here for a long time."

Her voice seemed to be trembling...

Before Queen Mother Chen could give her a hint, she saw that she had already left her seat and walked out, her back looking very lonely...

Seeing this, Concubine Zhou only smiled slightly, sat down, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and said, "President Xu, please show me your respect. As a mother, I have the duty to have a glass of wine on behalf of my Jing'er."

"Your Majesty, your words are serious."

Xu Boqing also raised his glass. When he drank the wine in the glass, his lips moved again, and he used the method of transmitting sound into the ears to say to Concubine Liu: "Just say you are not feeling well, and I will take you back to the palace."

"..."

Concubine Liu paused when she heard this, and then she seemed to think of something, and her peach blossom eyes became a little more expectant.

She drank a glass of wine, then rubbed her eyebrows with her hands, and hummed softly, pretending to be unwell.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Chen frowned and glanced at Xu Boqing, then asked: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"

"Yes some."

Concubine Liu sighed and said: "I have been feeling sick recently. I can't eat well, sleep well, and I feel anxious all day long...

I haven’t been out for many days, and I wanted to come out for some fresh air today, but I never thought it would still be like this. Sigh..."

Concubine Zhou lives with her in Yongning Palace and has a good relationship with her. She also knows that her recent state is indeed as she said...

Then he said with concern: "My sister is sick, why didn't you call the imperial doctor?"

"The imperial doctor's pulse is too high, it's useless."

Concubine Liu said melancholy: "Maybe I'm just tired."

Empress Dowager Chen frowned slightly and glanced at Xu Boqing. Seeing him wink at her, she realized something and said, "Why don't my sister go back to the palace to rest?"

"That's all we can do..."

After putting on her shoes, Concubine Liu stood up from her seat and said with a sense of weakness: "I am in ill health and cannot stay with you. I hope you two sisters will forgive me."

"Just go, go..."

Empress Dowager Chen waved her hands, then glared at Xu Boqing angrily and said, "Concubine Liu is having trouble moving around. Mr. Xu, please go see her off."

"yes…"

Xu Boqing saw a bit of resentment in the Queen Mother's eyes, responded with a sigh, stood up with a stern look, and helped the weak Liu Guifei out of the Cining Palace...

After Concubine Liu left the door of Cining Palace, she looked like a kitten that had caught a fishy smell, her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

"Bad guy..."

"did you miss me?"

"Think about it..."

"Where did you think of that?"

"you……"

"Hahahaha~"

Seeing that he was smiling happily, Concubine Liu gave him a coquettish look. Seeing that there was no one around, she leaned into his ear and said coquettishly: "I've thought about everything, and I'm so eloquent~"

"..."

Xu Boqing's breath froze when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Concubine Liu Guifei saw how excited he was, and her watery peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with a smile.

Then she leaned into his ear like adding fuel to the fire, and whispered in a delicate voice: "Brother, I miss you every day, and I miss you every night, so much that I can't sleep."

"..."

Xu Boqing glared at her. If it hadn't been for the bright blue sky, he would have wanted to find a grove to rectify her...

Suppressing the anger in my heart...

After returning to the Yongning Palace, the door had just closed, and before he could turn around and say some harsh words to cheer him up, he already felt Nephrite in his arms and the corners of his lips were warm...

"Um??"

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Concubine Liu's body was weak, and she could only hold Xu Boqing's neck with her drunken eyes and snuggle into his arms...

Seeing that the heat in the thief's eyes seemed to melt ice and snow, she bit her lower lip, raised her toes, and whispered in his ear, "Love me..."

"..."
