Chapter 109 The concubine who died young in the novel "The Emperor Takes His Minister's Wi
Emperor Kangning was unwilling to return the red beans to Leyan, so Leyan became depressed and listless, losing her appetite and sleeping poorly every day.
This infuriated Emperor Kangning, who was consumed by jealousy.
He wasn't a good-natured person and wasn't willing to back down at first, but after arguing with Le Yan for two days, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
He was at his wit's end with her. He couldn't hit her, nor could he bear to scold her. But when he tried to force her, he couldn't say anything when he met her bright, almond-shaped eyes.
After struggling to adjust himself for a while, Emperor Kangning gave up. He reluctantly asked Li Li to bring the red beans before coaxing Leyan, "They'll be here soon. Drink the soup first to warm your stomach, okay?"
He specially arranged for her to receive dietary supplements from the Imperial Hospital in order to improve her health, but instead, she refused to eat anything because of a single red bean.
Emperor Kangning was getting angry again. He gripped the spoon tightly with his fingers, and the tips of his fingers turned slightly white.
Le Yan remained silent, looking absent-minded.
It took her a while to realize what he had just said, and she obediently nodded and reached out to take the soup bowl.
She didn't forget to ask, "Is it red bean?"
Emperor Kangning's lips twitched slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He replied, "Yes, it's Red Bean."
Red beans, red beans, all I know is how to find red beans!
He was in a bad mood but didn't want to show it in front of Leyan. He simply blocked Leyan's hand from touching the soup bowl and said, "It's a little hot. I'll hold it myself."
Emperor Kangning lifted the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of milky white soup, and carefully fed it to Leyan's lips, saying softly, "I'll feed you."
Le Yan knew the meaning of "enough is enough," and now that her goal had been achieved, she should behave better.
So she did whatever Emperor Kangning told her to do; he liked to feed her, so she let him.
Once she felt somewhat full, Le Yan grabbed Emperor Kangning's arm, pursed her lips, and gently shook her head, saying, "I'm a little full, I don't want to eat anymore."
Emperor Kangning raised an eyebrow and placed his large hand on her stomach. "Are you really full?"
"I'm full!" She'd burst if she ate any more.
Le Yan glared at him, which amused Emperor Kangning. He couldn't help but pinch her cheek and said with a smile, "You've grown quite bold."
Once he was sure Leyan was full, he didn't force her to eat anymore. He simply placed the chopsticks in her hand, indicating, "I haven't eaten yet."
After he finished feeding her, it was her turn to feed him in return.
Holding chopsticks in her hand, Le Yan pondered for a moment before slowly beginning to feed Emperor Kangning.
She didn't care what he liked or disliked to eat; she just picked up the food and stuffed it all into his mouth.
At first, she was slow, but as she fed him, she got a little carried away and started to speed up. Emperor Kangning would take a bite after only two bites.
The repeated attacks left the guards, who were perched in the tree and watching through the window, speechless with astonishment.
Guard Number One silently turned his head away, Guard Number Two silently covered his face, and Guard Number Three smacked his lips and muttered, "The Emperor's temper has improved a lot, huh?"
The fourth bodyguard calmly replied, "It's mainly because the people are different. Try being that audacious with someone else."
If it were someone else, they would be collecting the bodies and cleaning up the blood everywhere.
The three bodyguards cast approving glances at him: "You're right!"
Inside the palace, Emperor Kangning was unaware that his secret guards were laughing at him, and he was filled with helplessness.
What he originally wanted was that ambiguous atmosphere of two people in love feeding each other, but now, if he doesn't stop her, he won't be able to put anything in his mouth.
Emperor Kangning chewed his food with difficulty, then swiftly grabbed Leyan's increasingly fast hand and threw the chopsticks far away like a sword before looking at Leyan with exhaustion.
It wasn't that he didn't want to talk; it was just that he hadn't cleared his mouth properly and couldn't say anything at all.
Le Yan just stared at him dumbfounded, then belatedly realized what terrible thing she had done. Her ears turned bright red and her toes gripped the ground.
It was incredibly awkward.
"That...that..."
She lowered her head, not daring to look at Emperor Kangning at all, and stammered, "I said, I didn't mean it, do you believe me?"
She really didn't mean it!
She just had a sudden brain fart and got carried away, that's why she did it recklessly. It was definitely not something she did intentionally!
Le Yan was both embarrassed and flustered, afraid of angering Emperor Kangning.
"... ... I didn't blame you."
Having finally cleared his mouth, Emperor Kangning first took a sip of tea to save himself from almost choking, before looking at Leyan with a mixture of amusement and helplessness.
Seeing that she was looking down and dared not look at him, he raised his hand, his slender fingers pinching her chin, lifting it slightly, and said with a faint smile, "Considering this is your first offense, I will forgive you this time."
Next time, I won't let them off so easily.
With a flicker of his eyes, Emperor Kangning harbored a small, wicked thought.
Coincidentally, Le Yan was also muttering to herself that she would never feed him again, absolutely!
Feeling a little embarrassed, Le Yan didn't dare to look Emperor Kangning in the eye, so she quickly looked away and met Hong Dou's gaze, who was standing at the palace gate with a blank and frightened expression. She suddenly stood up, her face full of excitement.
"red beans!"
Instinctively shaking off Emperor Kangning's hand, Leyan went straight to Hongdou.
Looking at his empty hands, Emperor Kangning's lips tightened, his face devoid of a smile.
He remained motionless in his previous posture, but his eyes followed Le Yan's figure as he coldly watched the master and servant who were now embracing.
His fist clenched tightly, and the veins bulged as he exerted too much force.
Emperor Kangning suddenly glared at Li Li, who had brought the red bean, his eyes filled with fierce disdain. "A good-for-nothing, more trouble than a help! Doesn't he know how to read the room?"
Li Li lowered his head silently after being glared at, feeling miserable. What had he done to offend His Majesty this time?
Wasn't he just following His Majesty's orders to bring the Empress's maid, Hongdou?
... ... Red beans?
Li Li cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at Le Yan and Hong Dou, who were hugging each other. Suddenly, he realized, "Oh no, His Majesty is jealous!"
He was definitely being blamed for the incident!
Li Li had something he wanted to say, but he didn't dare to.
He could only accept the emperor's bounty and bear his worries, so he quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is still waiting for you."
Your Majesty, hurry and go hug His Majesty! Don't hug your little maid, or His Majesty will kill someone again!
Li Li tried to remind Le Yan with his eyes, but Le Yan couldn't understand his gaze and just thought that he must be having an eye twitch.
However, Le Yan still heard him mention "Your Majesty," so she quickly let go of Hong Dou and turned around to see Emperor Kangning looking depressed and pitiful, as if he had been abandoned.
"His Majesty?"
She hurried back to Emperor Kangning's side, only to see him angrily turn his head away, then snort coldly, his tone displeased, "So you finally remembered me?"
"I thought that with your red bean, I would be forgotten by you."
