The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 490 Let her out of the palace?

After several days of busy New Year banquets of all sizes, Jiang Wantang finally had time to stop and rest for a few days.

Every day I either play chess and make tea, or appreciate paintings and read books.

However, Ji Wuyuan was still very busy, but in the next few days, he postponed almost all government affairs and stayed in Fengqi Palace every day to accompany Jiang Wantang, never leaving her side, and suddenly became very clingy.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the weather was exceptionally good, the sun was shining, and the snow had melted...

Under the old plum tree in Fengqi Palace, black and white chess pieces were crisscrossed on the green jade chessboard. Jiang Wantang was holding the white piece, his wrist as white as snow, and he was frowning in deep thought.

Ji Wuyuan reclined in a golden nanmu armchair, his posture languid. He was not wearing his imperial robes, but only a dark black casual attire with dark cloud patterns, which made his features even more elegant and handsome.

His mind was not on the chessboard. His deep and narrow phoenix eyes stared at Jiang Wantang, who was wearing a pink petal dress, without blinking.

Look at her beautiful face without any makeup, with red lips, white teeth, and rosy cheeks; look at her hesitant expression as she holds the chess piece between her fingers...

The bright sunlight shone through the branches, casting tiny, shining spots of light on her head and body.

From Ji Wuyuan's perspective, Jiang Wantang was shining at this moment.

"Your Majesty, you stare at me like this, which makes me feel uneasy." After a long time, Jiang Wantang finally dropped a child and raised her eyes and said coquettishly.

Ji Wuyuan chuckled softly, picked up a black piece and placed it on the star position: "Tang'er is really beautiful, I couldn't help but look at her a few more times."

When it comes to actual chess, Jiang Wantang is clearly no match for him. Seeing that he's about to lose the game again, Jiang Wantang frowned.

Ji Wuyuan looked at her with a smile and said with interest: "If Tang'er doesn't make this move well, she will lose..."

"How about it, do you want me to teach you?"

Jiang Wantang refused to admit defeat and sneered, "Your Majesty, do you know what you look like now?"

Ji Wuyuan supported his head with one hand, looked at her calmly, and asked cooperatively, "What does it look like?"

"Exactly like..." Jiang Wantang began, then paused, whetting the man's appetite before adding, "Exactly like those playboys in the capital who flirt with decent women."

A pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling, sparkling with the bright light of blooming sunshine.

As captivating as a vixen.

"Oh, is it so?"

Ji Wuyuan looked at her with a burning gaze, the smile on his lips deepening: "Tang'er is wrong, I am different from them."

"What's the difference?" Jiang Wantang asked curiously.

"I'm just teasing Tang'er."

When Ji Wuyuan said this, his eyes were direct and eager, his tone was slow, but every word was affectionate, with a suffocating feeling.

Jiang Wantang was embarrassed and annoyed, and threw the white chess piece in her hand back into the chess basket.

She snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "No more, Your Majesty is not serious and is good at deceiving people!"

Ji Wuyuan couldn't help laughing out loud, but he finally restrained himself a little.

He stood up and walked around behind Jiang Wantang, wrapped his arms around the back of the chair, and held her in his arms. He smiled and coaxed her patiently, "Okay, then I won't go down."

"Otherwise, if Tang'er loses the chess game later, I'll have to coax her again."

It's impossible to win, and it's impossible to give in. This game is really difficult to play.

When you are angry, coaxing is not the right thing to do, not coaxing is even worse, and coaxing too much is even worse...

This little girl's thoughts are much harder to guess than the intrigues in the court.

The two of them kept chatting and joking with each other.

However, beautiful and warm times always pass in a flash.

At noon, when the two of them were resting on the small couch in front of the window, Jiang Wantang looked up at the green buds faintly emerging from the dead branches outside the window.

Time flies so fast, and spring is almost here before we know it...

Jiang Wantang turned to look at Ji Wuyuan, who was lying beside her with his eyes closed, pretending to sleep. She recalled the days and nights they had spent together, which was a rare time of leisure and peace.

It was as if all the busy government affairs and trivial matters in the harem had disappeared.

They were just an ordinary couple in this vast world, not an emperor or empress.

Comfortable and beautiful.

But for some reason, Jiang Wantang always felt that it was unreal.

Especially when Ji Wuyuan always stared at her, his eyes were full of deep affection and tenderness.

"Your Majesty..." Jiang Wantang called softly.

"Hmm?" Ji Wuyuan slowly opened his eyes, his voice lazy and magnetic.

"You've been absent from court for several days..." Jiang Wantang said hesitantly, "But what happened in the court?"

Ji Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and touched her head, and said with a smile: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Otherwise, why does Your Majesty stay with me in Fengqi Palace every day without doing anything?" Jiang Wantang said lightly.

Ji Wuyuan's originally smiling eyes unconsciously became a little sad, but he quickly calmed down.

He smiled and teased calmly, "Are you tired of being alone, Tang'er?"

Jiang Wantang shook her head, looking at him seriously, and said, "No, I don't mean that."

Before she could finish her words, Ji Wuyuan suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms, and his deep and hoarse voice sounded in her ears.

He said, "I know."

"I just want to spend more time with Tang'er."

Hearing this, Jiang Wantang didn't think much about it, but just raised her hand and hugged him back.

The days passed peacefully and tranquilly until the morning of the next day after the Lantern Festival, when Wang Fuhai personally brought people to deliver rows of vermilion trays.

Jiang Wantang took a look and saw the pass token with the imperial seal on it placed on the first tray.

Then there were a large number of exchanged banknotes, and luxurious yet ordinary clothes and jewelry...

This is......

Jiang Wantang's pupils trembled and he froze in place for a moment.

"Empress..."

Wang Fuhai knelt on the jade bricks and said respectfully, "Your Majesty ordered this old servant to bring these to you."

"The carriage is ready at Xuanwu Gate. Your Majesty can leave the palace immediately."

Jiang Wantang still stood there in a daze, without reacting.

Wang Fuhai lowered his head and continued, "Your Majesty, His Majesty said that after you leave the palace, you can take this indefinite pass and go wherever you want in the future."

Jiang Wantang simply couldn't believe what he saw.

Is Ji Wuyuan going to let her out of the palace?

how can that be!

She couldn't imagine that the man who had held her in his arms and released river lanterns last night, promising to love her forever, would let go the next day and let her go.

"Your Majesty is currently..." Jiang Wantang clenched his hands and asked in a trembling voice, "In the Imperial Study?"

Wang Fuhai shook his head and said, "His Majesty is in Taiji Palace."

Jiang Wantang didn't care about anything else. She strode out of Fengqi Palace and ran towards Taiji Palace with her skirt lifted.

However, the vermilion lacquered gate of Taiji Palace was closed.

Jiang Wantang walked to the gate of Taiji Palace, and the commander of the secret guards Fei Yu stood in front of her.

"Empress..."

"Step aside!"

Fei Yu bowed and saluted, saying respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is His Majesty's wish. Please don't embarrass me."
