She had finally managed to get Fu Yuheng to come over so that she could piss off Shen Qingwan, but his caring attitude was a slap in her face, making her lose all her advantage in front of Shen Qingwan.
"Your Majesty, please try this. This is made by me." Li Xinyu was unhappy watching from the side but also picked up some food for Fu Yuheng. She felt relieved when she saw Fu Yuheng smiling at her. She continued to look at Shen Qingwan provocatively.
She was so young and beautiful, how could she not be compared to Shen Qingwan, who had been in the palace for many years but had no children. She believed that it would not take long for her to replace her and become the most favored person in the harem.
Shen Qingwan could sense Li Xinyu's gaze but ignored it. Such a woman was too stupid and not worth her attention at all. Moreover, she had already exposed her true nature during the talent show. She didn't know how to hide and was arrogant. There were plenty of people to deal with her.
"Why don't you say anything, my beloved? But are you not liking the food?" Seeing that she was reluctant to speak, Fu Yuheng took the initiative to speak. Shen Qingwan was stunned for a moment and then shook her head.
"No, the food here is very good." She couldn't tell what the food tasted like and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Fu Yuheng nodded and continued to pick up food for Shen Qingwan. Li Xinyu could only smile as she watched from the side, but she cursed her a thousand times in her heart.
"Xian Fei, I actually have something to discuss with you." After everyone had finished their meal, Fu Yuheng's sudden words made Shen Qingwan feel a little strange.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty? Can't I know?" Li Xinyu was unwilling to be ignored, so she spoke in a coquettish voice, but she was angry in her heart why he treated her like this.
Shen Qingwan bowed, "What is the matter, Your Majesty?" She knew Fu Yuheng's character well, so why would he come to her in person for dinner? There must be something going on.
Li Xinyu was about to say something when she was interrupted by Fu Yuheng: "I and Concubine Xian have something to discuss, you may leave first." But he forgot that this was Li Xinyu's bedroom.
Although she was unwilling, Li Xinyu had no choice but to leave. What kind of tricks did Shen Qingwan use to make the emperor so obsessed, and she didn't even want to compete for favor.
Shen Qingwan sat beside Fu Yuheng with her head down, not knowing what he wanted to say. If it was still about government affairs, she could only refuse, because she didn't want to interfere in the harem or the former court.
"Regarding the spring outing, my beloved concubine, do you have any opinions? In the past, it was presided over by the Queen, but now the Queen is not in good health, so I can only discuss it with my beloved concubine." After a moment's silence, Fu Yuheng spoke first, and his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at her.
Shen Qingwan frowned when she heard that. Even if Xiao Shushen was unwell, she could still speak up, right? Or any other concubine in the palace could do it. Why did it have to be her
"I think the emperor has already considered it. This time we are going to the back mountain of Fashan Temple, which is very close to the Buddhist holy land. Besides, it is the time when all things are reviving, so it is better not to hunt." Although she was a little helpless, Shen Qingwan still spoke.
"Well, this is what I think in my heart. What about the rest?" Fu Yuheng nodded, knowing that Shen Qingwan would share the same opinion as him, which was why he was willing to talk to her.
The other women in the palace were all thinking about how to please him. Even if he asked something, he wouldn't get an answer. They were just answers designed to make him feel comfortable.
"Then there is the Empress Dowager. She has been out of the palace for some time. It would be better for Your Majesty to go and visit her this time to avoid people all over the world talking about it." Ever since Fu Huaiyu was beheaded last time, the Empress Dowager went to Fashan Temple.
He was talking about worshiping Buddha, but in fact he was angry with Fu Yuheng because his only son was beheaded.
"Well, I also have this plan, and I am indeed troubled by this matter." After a sigh, Fu Yuheng spoke slowly. No matter what, he also had feelings for the Queen Mother.
"Then let my beloved concubine accompany me to Fashan Temple this time. The Queen Mother will be happy to see you." Xiao Shushen naturally couldn't go because she was not feeling well, so she could only accompany him. However, the Queen Mother...
Shen Qingwan nodded in agreement. After returning, she told Lianyun to prepare a set of simple clothes for herself. "Remember, don't have any luxurious things." After all, this is a Buddhist place, she reminded him again and again.
"Yes, I understand." Lianyun agreed with a smile, thinking that Shen Qingwan finally cared about Fu Yuheng's opinion. No matter how angry she was, she hoped that her mistress would be favored.
Otherwise, everyone in the palace would bully the Empress, just like Li Xinyu. A mere concubine dared to bully the Empress. How despicable.
"Does the emperor mean to let Sister Xianfei go with him? But the empress dowager treats Sister Xianfei..." Fu Yuheng told her the news, and Xiao Shushen frowned instantly.
She was not feeling well and could not go out, but she also did not want Shen Qingwan to go. It was not easy to make these two people have a misunderstanding. If they went to the temple together this time...
"The virtuous concubine has always been intelligent and should not be too clumsy." Fu Yuheng spoke of Shen Qingwan with full praise. He knew what an intelligent woman this was.
"But Your Majesty, please bring a few more sisters with you. I'm afraid I can't take good care of Your Majesty." Xiao Shushen had no choice but to compromise, but she couldn't let Shen Qingwan enjoy all the favors.
When she was in the palace, she could still suppress her, but it was different outside the palace. She was out of reach. So she had to send a few of her own people over.
"Okay, Queen, don't think too much, it will hurt your body." Fu Yuheng nodded and agreed with Xiao Shushen's statement. At the same time, he left Fengluan Palace, leaving only Xiao Shushen.
Thinking that Shen Qingwan was going to be with the emperor, Xiao Shushen was filled with resentment. If it weren't for what happened a few days ago, her body wouldn't be so weak that she would take advantage of it. Now that she was angry, her body became more and more uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry now. You haven't fully recovered yet." When Nanny Gui came in and saw Xiao Shushen's appearance, she quickly started to persuade her, wanting Xiao Shushen to relax.
"Hmph, call the prince over." Xiao Shushen ignored the advice and yelled at Nanny Gui. What was the use of her body without Fu Yuheng's favor
She did everything for Fu Yuheng. In the past, she just thought that being the queen would be enough, but she couldn't stand Fu Yuheng's favor for Shen Qingwan.
"Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother." Fu Mochen was hurriedly called over by Nanny Gui and was a little confused as to why.
After whispering a few words in Fu Mochen's ear, Xiao Shushen stroked her head and said, "Do you remember what your mother said?" Fu Mochen looked embarrassed, but since it was his mother's instruction, he could only nod.
