Chapter 166 The Empress Is Shy. Should I Really Give that as a Gift on Valentine's Day?
Summer, although it is past the season for all things to grow, is still the season for all things to develop.
The mountains are full of flowers and grass, and the hot air makes people's hearts a little restless.
In the dog days of summer, the shade of the trees behind the hillside is a good place to cool off.
But behind the shade of the trees in Tianyun Hall, a female disciple was half-kneeling on the ground.
Even though the weather was hot, she felt cold all over, as if she fell into an ice cave.
Because the person in front of the female disciple was Empress Qingyue.
And the reason she was caught was that she had a secret meeting with her lover on the hillside behind.
Tianyun Hall has banned Taoist couples for a long time.
This rule has not changed to this day.
Even though the empress seems to have rarely mentioned this issue recently, all the disciples have passed it on by word of mouth, but they are very clear.
Daring to have a secret meeting with a lover in Tianyun Hall is the biggest taboo!
There are other sisters who also met with their Taoist partners here today, but the only unlucky one is herself, and only she was caught by the empress.
The female disciple wanted to cry but had no tears, and her body trembled slightly because of fear.
She couldn't imagine what kind of punishment she would receive for such a serious crime as being caught by Empress Qingyue and having a secret meeting with her Taoist partner.
Even if the death penalty could be avoided, she would probably be expelled from Tianyun Hall!
"Valentine's Day is coming soon?"
At this time, Chu Qingyue suddenly asked.
The female disciple was obviously stunned for a moment.
One reason was that she didn't understand why the empress would ask such a strange question.
More importantly, the tone she heard was extremely gentle and cold.
Although she still carried the majesty of the emperor as always, there didn't seem to be any anger in the empress's tone?
Even the female disciple was confused.
She had long known the rules of Tianyun Hall in the past, and she also knew how serious a crime it was to fall in love in Tianyun Hall.
But now, why didn't the empress seem to have any intention of punishing her?
Even so, the female disciple still didn't dare to slack off.
She knew very well how much the Empress hated the matter of Taoist couples. Even if the Empress did not seem angry, it was unknown what she really was.
The female disciple hurriedly answered and explained, eager to beg for forgiveness:
"Replying to the Empress, Valentine's Day is one month away.
Disciple, this is indeed why I accidentally fell in love and lost my heart.
But please rest assured, Empress, I have realized my mistake, and I am willing to change for the better. From now on, I will never get involved in anything related to love again. Please believe me, Empress!"
"Well, you can handle these things yourself."
Chu Qingyue coughed twice.
The sun was shining brightly, and the dazzling sunlight shone down. Her pretty and cold face was inadvertently filled with a gentle beauty of ice and snow melting.
For a moment, even the female disciple was a little stunned.
All along, the Empress was a supreme existence in her heart that must not be violated.
But for some reason, she suddenly felt that the Empress today was particularly different.
"Well, actually, I didn't come here to punish you this time.
I have a question for you."
After seeming to hesitate for a long time, Chu Qingyue finally lowered her voice and asked shyly:
"If it's Valentine's Day, what kind of gifts do you disciples with lovers think are better?"
"Valentine's Day gifts?"
The female disciple was dumbfounded.
She could never have thought that the empress would ask her such a question.
"You, don't get me wrong. The reason I asked this is of course that I can't consider giving gifts to others.
It's just... I just want to investigate to what extent you disciples who accidentally fell in love are obsessed and to what extent.
You'd better answer truthfully. If there is any falsehood, don't blame me for being merciless!"
"Yes."
The female disciple answered hurriedly, but she was more and more confused.
There was nothing wrong with the empress's excuse.
But why did she feel a little bit wrong?
Not daring to go into details, the female disciple could only imagine hurriedly.
"Send flowers?
However, the one who sends flowers is usually a man."
"Send a sword? But this varies from person to person, not everyone may like it."
"My sister did give her lover a high-grade spirit wine, but apart from these, I think what men really like should actually be..."
Halfway through, the female disciple's face turned red.
She quickly took back the words that she almost said, and even pursed her lips, as if she was a little scared.
"What did you want to say just now?"
As a great emperor, Chu Qingyue's powerful insight is far beyond that of ordinary people. She saw at a glance that something was wrong with the female disciple.
"Empress, I'd better not talk about this matter.
I really can't say such disrespectful and shameful things, even if men may really like this thing.
But there are still some..."
"Say, do you dare to hide something from this emperor?"
Chu Qingyue's cold eyes instantly made the female disciple tremble, and a chill surged in her heart.
She still couldn't say it, but she felt the terrifying pressure, and her soul was trembling.
She had to suppress her shame, and at the same time she felt a little hopeless.
After all, if she said this, it would be useless!
With a sad face, the female disciple could only say in a trembling voice:
"From what I know, the Valentine's Day gift that all men will like is..."
"Yes..."
“…”
“It’s actually this!”
After hearing what the female disciple said, Chu Qingyue, who had always maintained her dignity, had a look that was obviously a little off.
Even her snow-like skin was slightly red.
Her heart was beating non-stop, as if a kitten was scratching her chest.
“Empress?”
The female disciple who noticed the obvious abnormal changes in the empress was trembling with fear, fearing that the empress would suddenly slap her to death in the next moment.
“Don’t let me see you again recently.”
Chu Qingyue glared at her fiercely.
“Yes”
The female disciple was instantly frightened and lost her mind, her whole body was cold.
After agreeing, she hurriedly ran away regardless of everything.
Although she was almost scared to death, she finally saved her life!
However, the female disciple didn’t know that at this moment on the back hillside.
After no one was around, Chu Qingyue couldn’t hide her inexplicable shame at all.
"Why would a man like this, and... should I really give this to him?
But, but in this case.
Ahhh, I'm so confused!"
Walking back and forth, Chu Qingyue was hesitant, and she couldn't control her pounding heart.
Valentine's Day is only a month away.
Before that, I must make a decision!
