Chapter 445: Winning Over Me
"I think you deserve it. If you hadn't worked so hard to help the emperor and me, there might have been some big chaos in this palace. This is what you deserve." Gu Jianchu waved his hand, and Cheng Song naturally left the room.
Cheng Song was still grateful for Gu Jianchu's reward. After all, other masters could not imagine the hard work of being a servant like them.
After Cheng Song left the room, Gu Jianchu held up her chin and looked at Xie Ci'an, saying seriously, "I rewarded Cheng Song. Does Your Majesty think that I am trying to win over the eunuchs around you?"
After all, emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times.
Xie Ci'an's expression was serious. He put one hand on Gu Jianchu's waist and gently pulled her forward. The man used a little force with his hands, and Gu Jianchu was already sitting on his knees, her whole body nestled in his arms. The two of them were almost tightly pressed together. Xie Ci'an's cold voice rang in her ears, "I think that winning me over is the most direct and effective way, Ah Chu. It is much better than winning over those eunuchs."
Because Xie Ci'an was so close to her, the hot air from his breath sprayed on her earlobe, and an itchy feeling instantly hit her. Before Gu Jianchu could speak, Xie Ci'an's voice came, "What does the Queen think?"
"I think what the emperor said makes sense." Gu Jianchu could only nod desperately.
The warm breath had already made her face flush, and her heartbeat began to accelerate inexplicably. Because they were close, her back was infected with Xie Ci'an's body temperature and burned hot. She was afraid that one of them would lose control, so Gu Jianchu coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I am tired. Let's rest."
"Since the Queen is sleepy, she should take a rest." Xie Ci'an turned over and stood up, picked up Gu Jianchu and placed him on the large and soft bed. He then pulled the quilt over and covered Gu Jianchu.
Xie Ci'an smiled and leaned over to kiss the queen on the cheek, "Achu, go to bed early. I still have some memorials to deal with."
Gu Jianchu felt a little touched when he looked at Xie Ci'an's profile. Xie Ci'an could have dealt with the memorials after they finished dinner, but he played with her for a long time, and only dealt with the memorials when she was tired.
Gu Jianchu supported himself with his arms and sat up, naturally wrapping his arms around Xie Ci'an's neck, and kissed the corner of Xie Ci'an's lips.
Gu Jianchu's kiss was just a light touch and he immediately withdrew. When Gu Jianchu was about to lie back down, Xie Ci'an immediately raised his hand to hold the back of Gu Jianchu's head, pressed her head and kissed her again.
Compared to Gu Jianchu's smack, Xie Ci'an's kiss was more delicate. He traced the shape of her lips and savored the faint sweetness at the corners of her lips. Just when Gu Jianchu was having difficulty breathing and wanted to open her mouth, Xie Ci'an immediately took advantage of the opportunity to catch up with her. The two of them entangled together like this until the air in Gu Jianchu's chest became thinner and thinner, and Xie Ci'an reluctantly let go of Gu Jianchu.
Gu Jianchu's originally red lips became as red as a ripe cherry under Xie Ci'an's kiss.
Facing Gu Jianchu's resentful eyes, Xie Ci'an was very satisfied with his masterpiece. Then he raised his hand to rub her hair and said softly, "Okay, Ah Chu, go to sleep quickly."
As he said this, he helped Gu Jianchu lie down again.
Thinking that Xie Ci'an had not dealt with any memorials in order to accompany her, the resentment in her heart gradually dissipated.
Only after Gu Jianchu closed his eyes did Xie Ci'an stand up and continue to deal with the memorials.
The snow fell all night long and only stopped when it was dawn.
The entire palace road was covered with a thick layer of snow, and even the roof was five fingers wide thick. It was obvious that it snowed a lot that night. I just don’t know how many places would be affected by such a heavy snow.
However, after the heavy snow, the weather cleared up immediately. The bright sunshine sprinkled on the white snow, which seemed particularly dazzling. The piled snow seemed to have a crystal light.
The young eunuchs were already dealing with the snow on the road.
Even if the entire palace cannot be cleared, the path for the masters must be cleared.
Zhuxi did not go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be on duty today, but came to Gu Jianchu early to serve him.
Zhuxi had been busy with palace affairs for a long time and hadn't helped Gu Jianchu with her makeup. After making the bed, Zhuxi naturally stepped forward and took the eyebrow pencil from the maid, "Let me do it."
The little maidservant naturally did not dare to disobey, so she immediately handed the eyebrow pencil to Zhuxi and stepped aside.
When she was halfway through drawing her eyebrows, she saw two young maids looking around. Another two were chattering as they watched the white snow outside. Just as Zhuxi was about to scold them, Gu Jianchu spoke first, "I don't need so many people to serve me. Why don't you go out and make some snowmen? It's rare to see such heavy snow. Making some snowmen will also add some color to Kunning Palace."
Zhuxi knew that her master also wanted to go out and play, but she was pregnant and could not jump in the snow.
After expressing their gratitude, several little palace maids ran to the yard chattering, each finding tools to start building a snowman.
Gu Jianchu saw that the eyebrows were almost painted, and asked lazily, "How did the King of Dongli deal with Miss Zhou Xiang from the Prime Minister's Mansion of Dongli Kingdom?"
"Miss Zhou from the Prime Minister's Mansion was originally one of the three clans that were to be executed. She was destined for death. Who knew she had a lucky escape? If she had known how to cherish it, she would have found a place where no one knew her and continued to live. But who would have thought she would deliberately rush into the muzzle of the gun, even thinking of helping the Prime Minister's Mansion to avenge her. Such a paranoid person will not listen to advice, and keeping her around will only bring disaster. So King Dongli simply went all out and directly asked the Imperial City Bureau for a cup of poison to reward Miss Zhou."
"Miss Zhou passed away last night, but they didn't report this to the Empress, and Prince Dongli didn't treat Miss Zhou badly. After she passed away, he ordered people to find a Feng Shui auspicious site for her burial, and even invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual to pray for her soul-stirring."
"The Prime Minister's Mansion has done so many evil things, and Prince Dongli has done his utmost." Gu Jianchu couldn't help but sigh, and looked out the window through the window paper, only to see several little maids happily making a snowman in the yard.
Just then, Cheng Song also came over, holding a bunch of freshly picked red plum blossoms in his arms. "The plum blossoms in the plum garden are mostly in bloom. The emperor knew that Your Majesty was pregnant and was worried that it would be inconvenient for her to go to the plum garden to appreciate the plum blossoms, so he asked me to bring some people to pick a bunch of plum blossoms so that Your Majesty can enjoy the plum blossoms without leaving home."
"The Emperor also said that the white snow and plum blossoms go very well together. He will have the Imperial Household Department send some more bonsai plum blossoms to be placed in the courtyard later. I would like to ask Your Majesty to enjoy such plum blossoms."
Zhu Xia naturally took the plum blossom from Cheng Song's arms and handed it to Gu Jianchu, asking him to come closer and smell the cold fragrance of the plum blossom and the snow. "How can this be considered an injustice? It's hard for the emperor to be so thoughtful."
