C98

Hearing the devil-like voice calling her name, Yun Ruo Lu's entire body shuddered, and she woke up from her shock.

When she saw the culprit, she realized that Yuchi Chen was standing right in front of her, his face as dark as a man's.

Who did she offend this early in the morning? Did he have to come here so early to apologize to her?

Although she was very dissatisfied, Yun Ruo Lu still took a deep breath to keep herself calm and asked: "Is Your Highness busy?"

After spending some time with Yuchi Chen, Yun Ruo Lu had come to the conclusion that the angrier she was, the harder Yuchi Chen was able to compete with her. If she acted like she didn't care, Yuchi Chen would leave without a word.

Thus, no matter how much she disliked Yuchi Chen, she had to restrain herself from arguing with him.

"Why are you sleeping here?"

Yuchi Chen's tone was filled with dissatisfaction, as if she had not done anything to satisfy him.

Yun Ruo Lu looked around at her surroundings, then looked back at herself. She thought to herself that it was a good thing that she changed her clothes last night. Otherwise, she would have been caught red-handed early in the morning and wouldn't have any good days in the future.

"Is something wrong? The morning air is so fresh, I was just closing my eyes when you woke me up and almost scared me to death! "

Yun Ruo Lu grumbled in dissatisfaction, thinking of how Yuchi Chen had come so early. If she were to enter the house and see the lass sleeping on her bed, she would definitely be beaten to a pulp.

Yuchi Chen looked at Yun Ruo Lu suspiciously. She had tied up her hair, and it looked like she wasn't going to get up early to take a breath of air.

"Aren't you going to invite This King in?"

Although it was an invitation, Yuchi Chen still walked into the house as he spoke.

Seeing that the situation wasn't good, Yun Ruo rushed forward to stop Yuchi Chen. She cleared her throat and raised her voice, "My lord, don't you have to go to the morning assembly? Why did you come to my place? "

"Humph!" The emperor has not left the morning assembly for a few days already, what else is there to go? "

When it came to talking about the matter of the imperial court, Yuchi Chen changed the topic. Yun Ruo You was secretly praying that that girl, Jinsi, would not die like a pig. If her loud voice did not wake her up, then she could only pray for herself.

"Didn't the emperor go to court in private?"

Yun Ruo Lu continued to change the topic, but she was curious to know what was going on in the palace.

"Of course, I've been there before, but the emperor has never wanted to see it. Every day, he's singing and dancing with the Demon Consort in the Phoenix Flower Hall!"

Yuchi Chen's tone was filled with righteous indignation, and Yun Ruo felt ashamed in her heart. Didn't he come over like this every day?

If it were not for Jin Se, she would not have said such words to Yuchi Chen, sending him off with a single sentence!

However, she dared not take the risk now because when Yuchi Chen saw her sleeping in the courtyard, she had already started to doubt herself. It was impossible for her to leave without understanding the situation.

Perhaps he could sense Yun Ruo's strangeness, Yuchi Chen's gaze turned cold as he said word by word, "What is in your room?"

Just as she was about to lose control, Jin Se's voice suddenly came from behind her, "Jin Se pays her respects to Your Highness. Niang Niang, you've already finished taking care of your clothes. Does the Niang Niang need a bath now?"

Seeing Jin Se, Yun Ruo Lu immediately let out a sigh of relief in her heart, and excitedly said: "Yes! Of course he had to wash up! Haven't you seen what your mistress is like!? "

After speaking, Yun Ruo did not bother looking at Yuchi Chen as she turned and entered the room.

Of course, Yuchi Chen would not let this go. He followed her in, examining the entire room from inside out before finally letting go of the doubt in his heart.

Seeing that Yuchi Chen was on guard against her, Yun Ruo Lu, who no longer cared about her own safety, was immediately overjoyed. She looked through the bronze mirror at Yuchi Chen and asked sarcastically: "What is Your Highness looking for?" Could it be that you suspect that chenqie is hiding a man here? "

Hearing Yun Ruo Lu's words, Yuchi Chen was so infuriated that his face began to turn pale. He turned Yun Ruo Lu around to face himself, pinched her chin and said in an extremely cold tone, "How dare you!"

Yun Ruo shook off Yuchi Chen's hand and snappily replied, "Since you've seen everything and the house has been searched, shouldn't you leave now?"

Yuchi Chen's eyes immediately reddened. Just as he was about to explode with anger, a guard hastily ran over to report, "Reporting to Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered that the morning assembly be held today. No one is to be absent."

The Emperor suddenly gave the order to ascend to the throne. It was likely that there was something very important to say, so Yuchi Chen did not dare delay any further. He glared at Yun Ruo Lu before flinging his sleeves and leaving.

After Yuchi Chen left, Yun Ruo Lu and Jinsi heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Esteemed Empress, when did you come back? Why didn't you wake Jin'er up?" I was almost discovered by the Prince just now. "

It was as if he had just regained his life from the gates of hell.

"You still have the nerve to say that? Who told you to sleep like a pig, you can't even wake Lei!"

Yun Ruo tapped Jin Se's head, thinking how dangerous it was just now. If Yuchi Chen knew the truth, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Eh …" Esteemed Empress, isn't the Emperor doing this everyday? Why do we still need guards to notify us? "

When she thought of Yuchi Chen leaving in a hurry, she asked curiously, as if it was a novel.

Yun Ruo You shook her head. She thought it was strange that the Emperor, who hadn't gone to court for several days, would suddenly come to court today. Could it be that it was because she saw Red Calyx last night that she advised the Emperor to go to court?

The truth of the matter would have to wait for Yuchi Chen to return.

Around noon, when Yuchi Chen was still not back, Ke Yunjin came to the mansion, saying that he was here to help him with his things.

Jinsi had heard from Ke Yunjin that the Emperor had left Yuchi Xuan with Yuchi Chen for a meal, so he wouldn't be back until the evening.

Moreover, today the Emperor only said one thing, and that was to amuse Imperial Concubine Calyx, so the Emperor prepared to hold a palace competition at the Imperial Palace's martial field. There were many events in the competition, and all the officials were required to attend the event.

As for the reason why the Emperor had left Yuchi Chen and Yuchi Xuan at the palace for a meal, it was to discuss this matter.

When Yun Ruo Lu heard this, she immediately knew that it was because of Red Calyx. Just where did she come up with this idea, what competition was she up to? The damage to the weapon was too great!

After hearing this, Jinsi was elated because he could go and watch the show again.

When it was time for dinner, Yu Feng came in excitedly from outside. He said to Yun Ruo Lu happily, "Empress, Your Highness has returned. He also ordered that the competition will be held the day after tomorrow, and that the Empress will follow you to the palace."

"Really? Really? Doesn't that mean we can go as well? "

Hearing Yu Feng's words, Jinsi was so excited that she jumped up and down.

Yun Ruo Lu pushed her back onto the chair, smiled and said, "Since you like the palace so much, then don't come back this time, just continue staying by her side."

"Don't! Empress, Jin'er knows his wrongs!"

As soon as she mentioned wanting to stay in the palace, Jinsi began to tug on Yunruo's sleeve and act like a spoiled child, teasing her to the side as she giggled.

"Besides me, who else would the prince bring?"

Yun Ruo Lu asked curiously, wondering what had happened to Yuchi Chen in the past few days. It was as if his entire being had been transformed, making him look extremely unusual.

"There's also the Royal Concubine and the Meng Clan's Consort."

Yu Feng answered truthfully, not understanding why Yun Ruo Lu would ask such a question.

Hearing Yu Feng's words, Yun Ruo suddenly came to a realization. She thought to herself that Yuchi Chen and the others were discussing about one thing in the Imperial Palace today, and that was who had more women!

However, thinking about it carefully, if she, Liu Yanhan, and Meng Fei'er were to go together, the effects of the three beauties would be extraordinary.

Just as Yun Ruo Lu was indulging in her fantasy, Xi Feng suddenly reminded her: "Esteemed wangfei, if you're free right now, your highness would like to see you in the main hall."

There was no need to think about it to know that it was definitely about coming to the palace in the future. It didn't matter whether she went or not, because she wasn't interested in it at all.

Yun Ruo Lu finally arrived at the main hall with Yu Feng's persuasion. Liu Yan Han and Meng Fei'er had already been waiting there for a while.

She didn't know they were there, or she wouldn't have come.

The three of them sat quietly in the main hall for a while before Yuchi Chen slowly walked in.

Upon seeing Yuchi Chen, Liu Yanhan and Meng Fei'er's eyes lit up like a cat seeing a mouse.

Of course, this analogy was somewhat inappropriate, but in Yun Ruo Lu's eyes, treating Yuchi Chen like a mouse was already a compliment.

Yuchi Chen walked out of the main hall, glancing at the absent-minded Yun Ruo who was sitting there. Coughing lightly, he said, "The Emperor has organized a palace martial arts competition, so I plan to bring all three of you with me the next day. Furthermore, all of you have to participate.

In the civil and martial competition, as the name implies, there are both texts and martial arts in the competition. The reason why Yuchi Chen had brought them was to win the competition. It seemed like she had been too prejudiced.

Yun Ruo Man felt a bit embarrassed as she rubbed her nose, trying to hide the panic in her heart.

Seeing no one had any objections, Yuchi Chen continued, "There are many competitions. Riding, archery, martial arts, poetry …" "Hold on."

After Yuchi Chen had finished explaining all the events, Yun Ruo Lu did not hear a single one of them being more beautiful than a woman or something like that. Once again, she lowered her head in shame.

Liu Yanhan and Meng Fei'er were extremely excited when they heard this. It seemed that the champion spot was already in their hands.

Yun Ruo Lu hesitated for a while, but eventually opened her mouth and asked: "May I ask what Your Highness wishes to bestow?
