Chapter 217 Rules and Regulations
In that magnificent palace, the emperor's voice echoed like thunder, making people's ears buzz.
The walls of the palace seemed to tremble slightly at the huge noise, as if they were also afraid of the emperor's wrath.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and that tension was like an invisible net that tightly enveloped everyone.
When Li Yu heard the emperor's roar, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground immediately. His body was shaking like a sieve, his face turned pale in an instant, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The sweat beads sparkled in the sunlight, as clearly visible as the fear in his heart.
His heart was filled with fear, as if he was facing a huge storm and he was like a small boat in the storm that could be overturned at any time.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor, fearing that his actions would anger the emperor again. He prayed in his heart, hoping that this storm would pass as soon as possible.
The palace maids and eunuchs outside the door were also terrified when they heard this. They lowered their heads, curled up their bodies, and quickly knelt down outside the door, like helpless birds in a storm.
They were filled with anxiety, not knowing why the emperor was suddenly angry. They knelt there quietly, waiting for the storm to pass, their hearts filled with uneasiness.
Their bodies trembled slightly, as if telling of the fear in their hearts. The fear was like an invisible hand, tightly grasping their hearts, making them dare not move at all.
When Empress Fucha and Yonglian heard the emperor's voice, they stood up quickly and bowed respectfully. Their eyes were filled with a little fear and uneasiness.
Empress Fucha's face turned pale, and she was filled with worry. She didn't know why the emperor was so angry and out of character.
Her heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness, as if a fog was shrouding her.
Yonglian snuggled up to the queen, his eyes filled with fear and anxiety, yet he remained calm.
Afterwards, Empress Fucha half-knelt down, tears in her eyes, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, please don't blame them. It was I who asked them to leave. I just wanted to have a good meal with Yonglian."
Her voice trembled slightly, like a candle in the wind, and it was full of grievance and helplessness, which made people feel pity.
Her heart was filled with self-blame and guilt. She felt that as the queen, she should be more cautious and should not make the emperor angry because of a momentary negligence.
There were tears gleaming in her eyes, and those tears were like stars in the night sky, faint but firm.
"I have lost my manners and decency. I will never behave like this again in the future."
Her heart was filled with regret. She thought that she had been living too recklessly during this period and had forgotten the teachings of the late empress dowager.
Her heart was filled with self-blame and guilt. She felt that she had failed the expectations of the late Empress Dowager and disappointed the Emperor. Her eyes were gleaming with regret.
The emperor was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the queen's aggrieved face and suddenly realized that he had scared everyone by his sudden anger.
A feeling of guilt welled up in his heart, and he knew that his temper was a little hasty.
He quickly reached out his hand and helped the queen up, his movements gentle and soft.
His eyes were filled with guilt and self-blame, and that guilt was like an invisible rope that tightly bound his heart.
In an instant, the emperor's voice was as warm as a spring breeze, making people feel warm in their hearts.
He gently comforted her, "Queen, don't blame yourself. If you were the one who asked them to leave, then I misunderstood."
However, Empress Fucha felt even more guilty. She shook her head and said, "No, it was me who forgot the rules and acted recklessly. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Her heart felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on it, heavy.
She felt that as the queen, she should set an example and abide by the palace rules. She didn't want to cause trouble to others because of her momentary negligence. Her eyes flashed with determination.
At this moment, Yonglian saw this and hurriedly knelt down to plead his case, his eyes firm and sincere.
He said firmly: "Father, I want to have a private conversation with the Empress Dowager, so I asked you to leave. Please don't punish the Empress Dowager."
His voice was clear and loud, echoing in the palace. It was full of courage and responsibility, and it moved everyone who heard it.
His heart was filled with a desire to protect the Empress Dowager, and he didn't want his mother to suffer any injustice.
The emperor looked at his nervous wife and son and felt that he was the bad guy.
His heart was filled with helplessness and guilt, and he knew he was wrong.
He quickly and gently comforted them, "Okay, okay, sit down." His heart was filled with guilt, and he felt that he should control his temper better.
He turned to look at Li Yu and ordered, "Go get me a set of bowls and chopsticks, and then everyone leave."
His eyes were full of majesty and dominance, making people dare not disobey.
His heart was filled with love for his wife and son, and he wanted to make amends as soon as possible, have a meal with them, and enjoy the warmth of family.
Li Yu quickly brought a set of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of the emperor, then respectfully withdrew and closed the door of the inner hall.
Yu's movements were swift and skillful. He knew the emperor's temper and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
His heart was filled with awe, and he knew that the emperor's majesty could not be violated.
The emperor smiled and said, "Now, our family can have a good meal. We can all do it ourselves. This is fun."
His smile was as warm as the sun, dispelling the haze in everyone's hearts. That smile was full of happiness and satisfaction, which made people feel warm in their hearts.
His heart was filled with longing for family, and he wanted to enjoy the warmth of family with his wife and son.
Empress Fucha and Yonglian finally felt relieved. They looked at the emperor with gratitude in their hearts.
They knew that although the emperor had a somewhat impatient temper, his heart was still full of love and tenderness.
Although they knew that the man in front of them was their husband and their father, the royal family was inherently ruthless. They had lived in this deep palace for so long that they had long been accustomed to that kind of indifference and ruthlessness.
Therefore, Empress Fucha was still worried. She frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this is a bit beyond the rules. The late Empress Dowager has always taught me to abide by the palace rules and not to violate them... I really feel guilty."
Her voice was full of helplessness and contradiction. Her heart was full of entanglement and anxiety. She didn't know how to choose.
There was confusion in her eyes.
The emperor shook his head and said, "Rongyin, the late queen mother was too pedantic and rigid, which is why she ended up like that and was hated by others. You don't have to pay attention to it. Our queen mother doesn't care about these trivial matters at all."
He took the opportunity to pick up a piece of mutton for Empress Fucha with his chopsticks, his movements gentle and natural.
The mutton exudes an enticing aroma, making people salivate.
His heart was full of love for the queen, and he didn't want her to suffer any injustice.
The emperor patted the queen's hand and patiently comforted her: "Besides, our family has never had such a relaxing meal before. Usually, we are always surrounded by people and have lost a lot of fun. Now it's better like this."
His eyes were filled with nostalgia for his past in the palace and cherishment for the present.
His heart was filled with emotion and helplessness. He knew that as an emperor, he had many helplessness and responsibilities.
Since childhood, the emperor has been bound by rules and regulations and has not had a single day of leisure.
Now that my wife has finally become interesting and lively again, I can't let her go back to her old self.
He thought silently in his heart that it seemed that Wei Yingluo still had some good points.
His heart was full of expectation and hope, and he hoped that his wife could always stay like this.
Empress Fucha smiled knowingly and served a bowl of soup to the emperor and Yonglian respectively.
The steam from the soup rose up and filled the air, bringing with it a warm atmosphere. The soup exuded an alluring aroma that made people salivate.
The three of them sat at the table and began to enjoy this rare warm time. They ate and talked at the same time, and the scene was like a harmonious family painting.
The palace was filled with a warm atmosphere, which made people feel warm. The evening sun shone through the windows and shone on them, covering them with a layer of golden light.
The light was as warm and bright as the happiness in their hearts.
After dinner, the queen stood up, walked to the inner room, and picked up the third princess who had just woken up.
The inner room was filled with a faint fragrance, which came from the incense burner.
The queen's steps were light and graceful, and her heart was filled with joy and happiness.
The third princess is now older and looks even cuter, with a rosy face and big watery eyes, like a lovely little angel.
The third princess' eyes were bright and clear, which made people feel warm. Her smile was as bright as the sun, which made people feel happy. There was innocence in her eyes.
Yonglian walked aside, placed the chess pieces, and prepared to play against his father.
His eyes were full of anticipation and excitement, his movements were skillful and confident, and he seemed full of confidence.
The emperor looked at the third princess with a gentle smile on his face. He said, "Let me hug Zhaoqi."
He took the third princess from the queen's arms, his movements were gentle and careful. His heart was filled with joy and happiness, and he felt very lucky to have such a lovely daughter.
He teased her gently, and the third princess was very considerate and laughed happily, her laughter was like the sound of nature.
The third princess' laughter was clear and loud, making people feel happy.
The emperor smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for two days. It seems that Zhaoqi has grown up a little."
She said happily, "Yes, Zhaoqi is growing very fast. Today, she can even babble and her voice is very loud."
The emperor turned around and asked curiously, "Oh? Did she see something that made her scream? Then our Zhaoqi will be able to speak soon."
His eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation. He wanted to know why the third princess was screaming and wanted to know all the growth details of his baby daughter.
Empress Fucha explained with a smile on her face: "When Fuheng and Yingluo came to pay their respects today, Zhaoqi might have seen them, so she was so happy."
The emperor nodded thoughtfully, murmured softly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "So that's how it is..."
There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, as if he was recalling some past events, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
At this time, seeing that the atmosphere was a little quiet, Yong Lian couldn't wait to invite: "Father, please come and play a game of chess with your son!" His eyes were shining with anticipation and excitement, and he was eager to compete with his father.
The emperor readily agreed, his lips slightly raised as he smiled, "Okay, I'll be right there." His voice revealed endless tenderness and kindness, just like a kind father.
He handed Zhaoqi to the queen with a smile and said confidently: "Zhaoqi, today I will let you see how the emperor defeated your brother."
His eyes and tone were full of confidence.
Empress Fucha was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She looked at the Emperor and Yonglian, her heart filled with happiness.
She felt very lucky to have such a good husband and son. Her eyes were shining with happiness, like the stars in the night sky, faint but firm.
On the other side, in the quiet Fucha Mansion, the darkness of the night spread like ink.
The night in Fucha Mansion was quiet and peaceful, with the air filled with the faint scent of flowers.
The moonlight sprinkled in the yard, covering everything with a layer of silver light. The light was as beautiful as a dream, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland.
Wei Yingluo and Fu Heng had just finished a busy day and were preparing to rest.
The room was filled with a faint fragrance, which was a bouquet of flowers that Mrs. Fucha brought back from shopping.
The bedding on the bed is soft and comfortable, exuding the scent of sunshine.
Wei Yingluo's heart was filled with happiness. She felt that she was very lucky to be able to become a part of the Fucha family as she wished.
However, just as they were about to lie down, they heard a slight sound coming from outside the window, like the sound of the wind or the singing of birds.
The sound was particularly clear in the quiet night.
Wei Yingluo was filled with curiosity, and she stood up to check. She was filled with curiosity and anticipation, and she wanted to know what the sound was.
Seeing this, Fu Heng quickly grabbed her hand, his eyes full of helplessness. He asked, "Yingluo, where are you going again? You always ignored me today, you must accompany me at night."
There was a hint of coquettishness in his voice. Fu Heng's heart was filled with helplessness and grievance. He felt that he was ignored by Wei Yingluo.
Wei Yingluo couldn't help laughing when she saw Fu Heng's aggrieved look. She said, "Master, why are you still like a child? I'll go check it out. That sound is a bit like a carrier pigeon. Maybe it's a carrier pigeon sent by Bai Zhi."
Wei Yingluo's heart was full of anticipation. She wanted to know if Bai Zhi had any news.
