The weather was still a little cold, and Shen Qingwan was not feeling well recently and didn't like going out any more. It was better to read in her room than to watch the intrigues of the girls. Lianyun had already fallen asleep beside her.
"Go and have a rest. I'll read here by myself." Shen Qingwan smiled and said to Lianyun. Such a warm environment is indeed easy to make people sleepy. She is the only one who still has the mind to read.
"As long as I'm not sleepy, I like to stay here with the queen." Lianyun wiped her eyes, yawned and spoke. Shen Qingwan has been good enough to her, she can't ask for more.
Shen Qingwan didn't say much and concentrated on reading the book in her hand. She liked reading books when she was in the boudoir. She originally wanted to read with her husband after getting married, but she didn't expect her husband to be so busy. Busy dealing with national affairs, and also busy balancing the relationship in the harem.
When Shen Qingwan was concentrating on reading, she suddenly heard a sound outside, as if something hit the window. She looked up and wanted to ask Lianyun to check, but found that the girl had fallen asleep.
"You're getting more and more lazy." Shen Qingwan shook her head at Lianyun and finally did not wake her up. She got up and walked out. She wanted to see what made the noise.
The first thing she saw when she went out was a bright yellow dress. Shen Qingwan was startled and realized that it couldn't be Fu Yuheng, so it could only be the crown prince Fu Mochen, who was looking at her arrogantly at this moment.
"What is your Highness the Crown Prince doing? Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Shen Qingwan frowned and looked at the stone in Fu Mochen's hand with some displeasure. He was becoming more and more uneducated.
The first time we met, he destroyed her garden and threw dirt at her, and this time he threw stones at her window. I don't know if he will hurt her next time.
"Hmph, how could this prince possibly look for you." Fu Mochen snorted coldly and continued to throw stones at the window. Shen Qingwan could even hear the sound of something hitting something inside.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, if you have nothing to do, why don't you leave? Does your father know about your mischief?" Shen Qingwan was already a little angry, so she brought up Fu Yuheng's name.
Fu Mochen heard that Fu Yuheng was indeed a little scared and stopped throwing things, but he was still stubborn and refused to leave. "This prince warns you, don't seduce my father again. My father and my mother are husband and wife."
Shen Qingwan was a little surprised when she heard this. How could a seven-year-old child say such a thing? Even if the prince had received a lot of education, the tutor would never dare to teach him to curse like this.
"Your Highness, who told you this?" Shen Qingwan frowned and spoke sternly, but Fu Mochen just looked at her without saying anything.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are here. Please come back with me quickly. The Queen is waiting for you." The two were silent for a moment, and Nanny Gui beside the Queen came over hurriedly.
After casually bowing to Shen Qingwan, he pulled Fu Mochen away. Shen Qingwan did not stop him but just watched them leave. However, she could vaguely hear Aunt Gui talking to Fu Mochen.
"Hasn't I told the prince that this woman is a vicious and cruel woman? Prince, please don't come here again." I don't know if he said it so loudly on purpose so that Shen Qingwan could hear it.
Now Shen Qingwan understood that Xiao Shushen must have said something to Fu Mochen, otherwise a child would never say such a thing. But she didn't intend to pay attention to it.
"Madam, where have you been?" Lianyun just woke up when she returned to the room and asked Shen Qingwan in confusion. She was really too sleepy.
"It's okay, you can continue to sleep." Shen Qingwan shook her head and didn't intend to tell Lianyun what had just happened. It's fine if others don't offend me, but Fu Mochen is the prince, and it's not appropriate for Xiao Shushen to teach him like this.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingwan shook her head again. Didn't she agree not to care? What does Xiao Shushen's son have to do with her? Then she concentrated on reading.
Lianyun felt a little strange watching her mistress nodding and shaking her head, but since her mistress didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask any more questions. She watched Shen Qingwan fall asleep again without realizing it. Only with Shen Qingwan could she be so lazy.
"What are you looking at, my beloved?" Before she knew it, it was already night. Shen Qingwan didn't even notice it. It was Fu Yuheng's voice that interrupted her thoughts.
"Your Majesty, your servant pays respect to you." Shen Qingwan stood up and saluted respectfully to Fu Yuheng, then stood up herself and did not let Fu Yuheng touch her at all.
"You can go down." Fu Yuheng was a little strange. Shen Qingwan's recent attitude made him feel strange. She was neither cold nor indifferent to him. The key point was that he didn't know what he had done wrong.
At Fu Yuheng's signal, Lianyun left to prepare food for the two of them. Shen Qingwan was not feeling well, so she had been preparing all the food herself these days.
After Lianyun left, Fu Yuheng went over to hug Shen Qingwan but was evaded. He was even more certain that Shen Qingwan was in a bad mood, but he didn't know why.
"What's wrong with you, my beloved? What did I do to make you feel scared or unhappy?" Fu Yuheng walked in front of Shen Qingwan and spoke with concern, but he lowered his posture a lot.
Shen Qingwan didn't expect Fu Yuheng to ask so directly, and was a little stunned, but she just shook her head and said nothing. Fu Yuheng was the emperor and should have three palaces and four courtyards, and she was his concubine.
But she really didn't like this feeling, waiting for Fu Yuheng to favor her every day, and then having to intrigue with the women. She didn't like such a cold harem and didn't intend to get involved in it.
"Tell me what's going on?" Fu Yuheng continued to ask unwillingly, but he already felt very uncomfortable with Shen Qingwan's attitude.
"No, Your Majesty has done nothing wrong, and has not frightened me." Shen Qingwan had to answer under Fu Yuheng's questioning. This answer obviously did not satisfy Fu Yuheng.
"Then why does my beloved concubine have such an attitude?" He really couldn't understand why Shen Qingwan had such a cold attitude. He hadn't done anything recently.
Shen Qingwan turned her back to Fu Yuheng and spoke softly, "I am too sensitive. It has nothing to do with the emperor." Maybe she was just overthinking.
This sentence made Fu Yuheng even more confused. Why was he so sensitive? But what happened in the harem that made Shen Qingwan unhappy? Or who made things difficult for her again
"My beloved, please don't be like this. I feel uncomfortable looking at you like this. Tell me if there is anything, and I will definitely take care of it for you." He comforted Shen Qingwan softly, and Shen Qingwan just nodded after listening.
