The emperor hadn't come to see her these days, and Shen Qingwan felt quiet, but Lianyun beside her was a little worried. The queen had been worried these days, and had run into obstacles everywhere, and the emperor hadn't come to care about her. Could it be that he was going to ignore her
It is said that there are a lot of gossips in the harem, and that's true. When the emperor didn't visit her for a few days, some people began to speculate whether she had made the emperor unhappy.
Before dinner in the evening, Liu Churong was in a good mood admiring the flowers in the garden. "You said that flowers love to compete with each other for beauty, but how can the sun only shine on one flower?"
He reached out and plucked the nearest flower, put it to his nose and smelled it, then raised his hand and threw it away.
The maidservant beside her heard this and knew that Liu Churong was talking about Consort Xian, so she handed the handkerchief to Liu Churong and said, "Your Highness is absolutely right!"
This is in line with what Liu Churong said.
Just at this moment, a servant came to report that the Emperor was heading towards Concubine Xian's courtyard.
Liu Churong frowned, somewhat unwillingly, and threw the handkerchief in his hand to the ground, "Humph, go back to the palace!"
She didn't even have the mood to appreciate the flowers, and she took her maid back to her own yard.
Fu Yuheng finished dealing with the memorials in his hand today and suddenly remembered that he had not seen Concubine Xian for several days. As he was in a good mood today, he asked the servants around him to leave and walked towards Concubine Xian's palace alone.
I wonder what she is doing now? I guess with her personality, she should just be tending to the flowers and plants!
As he thought this in his mind, he looked up and found himself in front of Shen Qingwan's courtyard.
When the servant guarding the gate saw the emperor coming, he immediately knelt down and saluted.
Fu Yuheng waved his hand and asked everyone to get up, then sent a few people back to rest. He did not ask anyone to pass on the message and went in on his own.
When he did this, Lianyun, who was trimming flowers inside, was startled.
He motioned Lianyun to be quiet, wondering why Shen Qingwan wasn't the one doing the repairs today, and asked in a low voice: "Where's the Concubine Xian?"
Lianyun crouched low, not daring to speak loudly, "Your Majesty, you may not know, but the Queen has not seemed to be feeling well these past few days. She always felt a little dizzy, so she went to bed early." Lianyun explained, not knowing whether she should wake up the Queen.
Fu Yuheng didn't say anything more, but frowned slightly. Could it be that he had suffered too much in the past few days and was therefore feeling unwell
Fu Yuheng stepped over Lianyun and entered the bedroom. Lianyun opened her mouth, but in the end didn't say anything. After all, he was the emperor, and she had no right to say anything.
The bed in the dormitory was drooping, and the wind blew in from the window, gently swaying. Shen Qingwan was sleeping inside, and her face looked even more beautiful because of the haziness.
For a moment, Fu Yuheng was completely distracted.
After a while, he finally realized what was happening and went over to close the window. It was also negligence. What if she caught a cold? What would she do? Even he himself didn't know what was wrong with him today, and he was so concerned about her.
I don’t know if it was the sound of closing the window that woke up Shen Qingwan who was sleeping soundly, but her eyelashes moved and she showed signs of waking up.
Shen Qingwan slowly opened her eyes. As she had just woken up, her vision had not yet recovered. She saw a figure flashing in front of the bed, so she thought it was Lianyun. "What time is it now?"
"It's the afternoon, time for dinner." Fu Yuheng glanced at the sky and smiled at Shen Qingwan who obviously hadn't reacted yet.
Hearing this, Shen Qingwan realized that something was wrong. This voice was clearly a man's! She woke up all of a sudden, raised her eyes again, sat up quickly, and was about to stand up and salute.
Fu Yuheng held her down and sat beside the bed, but he didn't realize how gentle his eyes were. "My beloved, you don't have to get up. I heard that you are not feeling well. Is it because you have been under too much pressure these days?"
Shen Qingwan knew that it must be Lianyun who told the story, so she shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. No matter how much pressure I have, it is not as much as your Majesty's daily workload. I am afraid that compared to me, your Majesty is the one who is really working hard."
"No matter what, you have to take good care of yourself." Fu Yuheng reached out and touched her forehead. Fortunately, she didn't have a fever. "Just now I saw that the windows of your room were not closed. What if you caught a cold?"
Shen Qingwan was slightly startled, and glanced at the window. Sure enough, the window was already closed. She clearly remembered that it was not closed before going to bed, and after hearing him say that, it must have been closed by him.
What a great honor it is to have the emperor close the window for me personally. When I raised my eyes, I met Fu Yuheng's eyes.
The worry and tenderness inside seemed to be overflowing, flickering slightly under the candlelight. It was deep and dark inside, like an abyss, from which there was no escape.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Shen Qingwan quickly avoided his eyes, not daring to meet his gaze again.
Fu Yuheng didn't say anything more and called Lianyun who was outside the door to come in and help her change clothes.
It was at this time that Shen Qingwan remembered what Fu Yuheng said when she first woke up. She recalled that the emperor had not yet had his meal, so she quickly followed Lianyun's hand to serve herself.
"I'll go and tell the kitchen to serve the dishes!" Lianyun saw the emperor looking at her and bowed to ask for orders.
Fu Yuheng waved his hand, approved Lianyun, and asked Shen Qingwan to sit next to him.
This was the first time he and she had dined alone. I was afraid that once the news got out, there would be a bloody storm. However, in the harem, who would not be moved by the emperor's favor
At this time, Shen Qingwan was quite flattered, and even her movements became cautious.
Sensing her helplessness, Fu Yuheng raised his hand and tucked her fallen hair behind her ear. For some reason, Shen Qingwan subconsciously shrank back.
This action made him laugh out loud again.
"What's wrong with you today, my beloved? You seem a lot less timid?" Perhaps because he found it funny, he actually teased her seriously.
Shen Qingwan warned herself to calm down, but her mind refused to obey her. The blush on her face became more and more obvious. Her already fair skin became even more transparent, which attracted Fu Yuheng's attention unconsciously.
Lianyun had already brought people with dinner, but seeing this scene, she didn't dare to disturb them. She just set the dinner and left.
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." Shen Qingwan couldn't find the right words for a moment. She felt embarrassed being stared at, so she quickly changed the subject.
Fu Yuheng saw that the meal was ready, but felt depressed. He turned around and glared at the servants serving beside him, scaring the servants so much that they broke out in cold sweats, wondering if they had offended the emperor in some way.
Shen Qingwan had just breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a piece of vegetable leaf with the silver chopsticks when she heard a hint of warmth and a whisper in her ear. She was so scared that she almost dropped the vegetable she had just picked up.
"Tonight, you will be my servant!"
