King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

Chapter 564: back to the palace

  Chapter 564 Returning to the palace

  Rong Qingcheng raised his head slowly, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, "You, don't you want to ask me something?"

   Junli nodded, "What should I ask you?"

  Hearing this, Rong Qingcheng's eyes dimmed and he didn't speak.

   Seeing this, Jun Li took a sip of his saliva, then got up and came to his side. He looked up and down, then sneered, "This is not the Rong Qingcheng I knew before."

  Hearing this, Rong Qingcheng's eyes flashed with a hint of astringency, then he raised his head, a forced smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Since you don't want to ask anything, then... I'll go first."

   After finishing speaking, he took a deep look at Junli. Turn around and leave quickly without hesitation.

  Seeing this, Jun Li lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "Follow him."

  After the words fell, a black shadow flashed out quickly.

  —

  Early the next morning, the army returned to the court.

  Danhua City is a long way from the Imperial City, so when the army returned to the Imperial City, it was half a month later.

   On the day I returned to the imperial city, the city was full of people.

  Every family hung up red lanterns and red cloth, and everything was as happy as the New Year.

  When Junli and his party arrived outside the palace, all the ministers were already waiting there.

  When they saw Junli's figure, Meng Cheng and other senior officials all burst into tears, knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty will see you! Your Majesty is welcome back to the palace—"

  Hearing this, Jun Li hurried forward, personally helped Meng Cheng and other senior officials, and said, "You have worked hard for the past two years."

   As the words fell, tears welled up in Prime Minister Meng's eyes, "It's not hard for me to wait, but Your Majesty has suffered for the past two years."

  Hearing the words, Lord Ye on the side hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go to the palace quickly. Your Majesty must be tired after a long journey."

   Prime Minister Meng hurriedly nodded, "Look at my memory! It's true that the older I get, the more useless I am!" As he spoke, a group of ministers greeted Junli back to the palace in person.

  Although it was afternoon on the day of returning to the palace, I still went to the afternoon court once.

   All the ministers in the court were present and gathered in Cangling Hall. It is very neatly arranged as in the early dynasty.

   For the next half day, Junli was in the Cangling Palace, listening to the big and small things that happened in Beirong Kingdom in the past two years.

   After the ministers left, it was already night.

  At this moment, Junli thought of Mu Xiuzhu.

   I heard that his legs can already stand up.

  Thinking of this, Junli remembered what Junlin had said two years ago.

  After wearing that rhomboid crystal for two years, his legs can stand up.

   Now it seems that it is true.

  Under the delighted eyes of Eunuch Duan, Junli left Cangling Hall and headed for Liuqing Hall.

  Haven't arrived at Liuqing Hall, but from a distance, he saw an elegant man in light blue palace attire standing outside Liuqing Hall, looking outside constantly.

  The distance is very far, so Junli saw him at a glance, but he couldn't see Junli.

   "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still discussing matters with the ministers in the Cangling Palace. It's getting cold now, why don't you go in first." The attendant at the side spoke, and Junli could still hear it clearly from a long distance away.

   "No, I'll wait." The cold voice that belonged to the man was full of joy and anxiety.

  A smile appeared on the corner of Junli's lips, he strode forward, and soon appeared in Mu Xiuzhu's sight.

  Seeing Junli, Mu Xiuzhu's eyes lit up. I'm about to step forward.

  But maybe it’s not long before my legs can walk, or maybe it’s because I’ve been standing for a long time that my legs are sore and numb. Mu Xiuzhu staggered and was about to fall to the ground.

  Seeing this, Junli quickly stepped forward and grabbed his waist. There was a hint of reprimand in the gentle voice, "Just stand here and don't move, I don't know how to run."

  After saying that, Mu Xiuzhu buried his head in Junli's arms fiercely, his shoulders trembling slightly.

  Seeing this, Jun Li hastily reached out and raised his face.

  When he saw the tears falling from the corner of his eyes, Jun Li hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe him.

   "Okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't say that about you. Stop crying, it doesn't look good when you cry."

  Hearing this, Mu Xiuzhu shook his head, "It has nothing to do with His Majesty." After speaking, he suddenly reached out and hugged Junli.

  Jun Li was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized it. He hugged him backhandedly.

   Mu Xiuzhu also hugged Junli tightly, as if she was the only one left in his eyes and heart.

   After a long time, Eunuch Duan, who was following Junli, said, "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, why don't you hug me after you go in."

  Hearing this, Junli turned his head and gave him a look, looking at Eunuch Duan inexplicably.

   Mu Xiuzhu blushed, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, go in first. It's cold outside."

   Junli nodded and touched his hand. After realizing that it was a bit cold, he hugged him horizontally without saying a word, and walked into Liuqing Palace.

  When he saw a table set up for eating, Jun Li was slightly stunned, and then a faint warmth appeared in his heart.

   "Have you eaten yet?"

  Hearing this, Mu Xiuzhu nodded lightly, "I want to have dinner with His Majesty..."

  Jun Li smiled and put him on the chair, then sat beside him.

  Waving his hand, let all the servants around go down. Then he began to add vegetables to Mu Xiuzhu.

   "I've lost so much weight, eat more."

   Seeing this, Mu Xiuzhu's eyes were slightly wet.

   "Your Majesty also eats." He stood up and picked up a lot of food for Junli.

   Jun Li's eyes fell on his lap, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

   "Your Majesty, hurry up and eat. The past two years outside the palace, the food must not be good." Speaking of this, Mu Xiuzhu's eyes turned red.

  Watching him keep getting up to pick up vegetables, Jun Li felt warm in his heart. Since coming back this time, this is the first time she has experienced the warmth of home.

   "Hurry up and eat too, you've lost so much weight." Jun Li smiled, looking at Mu Xiuzhu with exceptionally soft eyes.

  Mu Xiuzhu nodded lightly, "Your Majesty, hurry up and eat too. You must be hungry after a long journey."

  Hearing this, Junli picked up the food in the bowl and started to eat.

   Then, under Mu Xiuzhu's expectant eyes, Jun Li ate up the full bowl of vegetables.

  Seeing that Junli finished all the meals, Mu Xiuzhu showed a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, do you want to take a bath now?"

  Junli nodded, then his eyes fell on him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

   "Let's take a bath together." After speaking, he got up directly, and before Mu Xiuzhu could react, he picked him up and walked towards the side hall of Liuqing Palace.

   "Your Majesty!" Mu Xiuzhu exclaimed, and in the next second, he was carried by Jun Li and walked into the bathtub.

  As soon as they entered the water, the clothes on the two of them were instantly soaked. It is extremely uncomfortable to stick on the body.

   "Your Majesty..." Mu Xiuzhu's voice sounded extremely attractive at this moment.

  Jun Li's eyes darkened, and his hand slipped on Mu Xiuzhu's waist.

   With just a light touch, the blue palace dress fell off Mu Xiuzhu's body.

  Mu Xiuzhu was startled, and quickly stretched out his hands to cover his body.

   Classmate reunion tonight, and I am singing in KTV now, so the second update may not be written today. But it's over tomorrow.
