"What? You don't want to? Qing Ling is a member of my palace, so there is no reason for her to be bullied so easily." Shen Qingwan raised her eyebrows, and seeing that he did not move for a long time, there was some displeasure on her face.
"Miss Qing Ling, I was blind and offended you that day. Please don't blame me." Even if he was unwilling, he had to apologize in order to save his life.
"Is my beloved satisfied with this?" The two men had just left when Fu Yuheng came over from somewhere, which startled her and her face flushed.
I'm afraid he had seen through her little thoughts a long time ago. Even if she said it was for the sake of the world, it was mainly for her own selfishness. But that boy was really annoying, and if he didn't teach him a lesson, he would be unwilling to do it.
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I am only thinking about this country and the people." He smiled with his hands covering his lips, a ray of light rippling from his eyes, making him look more gentle and charming.
"My beloved, you are really good at speaking." He did not expose her, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes when he looked at her.
"Your Majesty, thank you." He bowed politely and suddenly slapped his forehead. "Let's not talk about this. How is the Queen Mother's preparation going?"
He just shook his head and said helplessly, "It seems that she still doesn't want to see me, but I'm doing my best to give her the jade pendant on Fu Huaiyu's body as her last relic."
Seeing his melancholy look, Shen Qingwan couldn't help but calm down. Forcing the emperor into such a state made her feel more distressed for him.
"I never thought that the emperor, who is so high and mighty, would also be so helpless." There was more teasing in her words.
Fu Yuheng couldn't help but glance sideways, "Are you kidding me again?" He raised his eyebrows, but the atmosphere did relax a little.
"How dare I? If I'm not careful, my life might be in danger." The corners of her mouth curved up. She knew he wouldn't punish her, so she didn't hesitate to make a joke or two.
But unexpectedly, he picked her up, held her in his arms, and walked straight into the house.
Lianyun couldn't help but laugh as she watched the two of them playing around. She was afraid that someone in the palace would be jealous for a while.
When she woke up, it was already daybreak, and as expected, there was no one around her.
He sighed slightly and looked out the window. In fact, even if they stayed in the palace, it was still pretty good that the two of them could remain like this.
Thinking of this, he shook his head violently and threw all those unrealistic ideas behind him.
When will she become like this? But once this thought arises in my mind, it is not so easy to disappear.
But how many women in this world are truly willing to share their husbands with other women
Just as he was sighing, he realized that the door was creaking and was pushed open from the outside.
And the person who came in really surprised her. Why didn't he leave
"Your Majesty?" He blurted out, "Why is Your Majesty here?"
Fu Yuheng stared at her in a good mood, asked Lianyun to carry the food and put it on the table, and then closed the door. "What's wrong? Is it weird?" He walked forward and ruffled her hair that was still tied up.
She nodded and said, "It's just a little strange. Why didn't the emperor attend the morning court today?" After all, as the monarch of a country, he cannot skip court at will.
He seemed very happy today, but he didn't tell her, just let her guess. She thought about it, but still couldn't guess why, but she knew that it was definitely not for her, so there must be something big going on.
Seeing that she really couldn't guess, Fu Yuheng sat next to her and let her lean on his arms. His eyes were deep and long, as if he was recalling something.
Shen Qingwan did not interrupt him, but continued to think about what important matter it was.
"Today is my birthday." She was lowering her head when she heard a deep voice from above, which made her a little stunned. The moment she raised her head, she saw a flash of loneliness in his eyes.
This one sentence made her throat seem to be choked by something, and she felt it was difficult to speak.
It has been two years since he entered the palace, but she has never noticed it. But now that she thinks about it, he seems to have never celebrated his birthday. Normally, the emperor's birthday should be celebrated with great fanfare, but his is different.
"From childhood to adulthood, I have only celebrated my birthday when my mother was still alive, but I haven't celebrated my birthday since I was eight years old." He looked up at the sky, but his view was blocked by the roof, but it was enough to hide his slightly red eyes.
It's really embarrassing for a grown man to feel wronged over such a small matter.
Shen Qingwan snuggled in his arms, and for the first time she felt that even someone as strong as him could feel so sad and at a loss.
She felt distressed to see him like this, but perhaps because she had been used to indifference since childhood, she didn't know how to comfort him and just looked at his profile quietly.
He must have had a hard time, right? She had heard Sun Ning tell her before that Fu Yuheng's biological mother died when he was eight years old, but at that time only her body was found in the well, and the cause of death was still unclear.
Her hand involuntarily touched his cheek, which startled the man who was lost in thought.
"This really makes me laugh at myself, my beloved concubine, haha." He grabbed her hand and held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
In fact, he didn't know what was going on today, and he couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart in front of her.
"My dear, have you seen enough?" Seeing that she was staring at him, he teased her.
He intentionally changed the subject, and Shen Qingwan didn't dwell on what happened just now, "Since today is the emperor's birthday, let me help you celebrate it."
She suddenly had an impulse. She would be by his side on his birthday in the future, whether it was out of love for him or for his own selfishness. At least, let her have a part of him, a part that only belonged to her, and she would not ask for more.
After washing up, Shen Qingwan went to the kitchen alone. When she was in the general's mansion, she often cooked by herself, so the dishes she made were very delicious.
But he was the emperor after all, and after dinner, he returned to the imperial study to handle official business. Shen Qingwan took this opportunity to secretly ask Sun Ning some things, including his favorite flavors and some things that happened in the past.
Sun Ning felt relieved watching him leave. Finally, someone was willing to care about him who looked very powerful but was actually lonely. As a slave, he really cared about him. After all, he had been serving him since he was very young.
Now, he watches him grow up and sit on the high throne, but he still seems very lonely. He doesn't even have someone to whom he can speak the truth. He feels heartbroken from the bottom of his heart.
