My body can’t bear it if this continues.
But Qingwan didn't appreciate it.
"Your Majesty, please choose what you like. Qingwan's opinion is not important. As long as you are happy, Qingwan will be satisfied."
Originally, these were caring and considerate words, but after Shen Qingwan said them, it felt like something was wrong.
Fu Yuheng frowned unhappily.
"In that case, then have dinner with me. Didn't you say you wanted to see me happy? If I'm not happy eating, you have to eat everything!"
Shen Qingwan glared.
I didn't expect this man to be so childish and vindictive.
"you… "
Whatever he wanted to say, he swallowed it back because of Fu Yuheng's status as the emperor.
When they arrived at the dining room, normal addressing was naturally no longer possible. Shen Qingwan simply sat far away from Fu Yuheng and avoided looking at his dark face.
Not only were they having their meals in the dining room, but there were also many women and men who came to the capital for work and were sitting there eating.
Fu Yuheng is good-looking, and Shen Qingwan is even more stunningly beautiful. Even if the two of them do things in a discordant manner, they can still attract other people's discussions.
"Look at those two. They are truly a match made in heaven. In all my years as a matchmaker, I have never seen such a suitable couple. How could they be so far apart?"
"Hey, isn't it easy to guess? It must be that the husband made the lady angry? Didn't you see that the man kept looking back at the girl? It must be that the couple had a quarrel and went to the restaurant to have a quarrel?"
This experienced lady had good vision, and Fu Yuheng couldn't help but take a few more glances at her, feeling secretly delighted.
Being described as a couple was a very happy thing for Fu Yuheng.
He was going to spend his whole life with Shen Qingwan, and he couldn't waver or change his mind because of anything.
Fu Yuheng compromised and put some of Shen Qingwan's favorite side dishes into the porridge she had eaten without any filling, which caused sighs from the people around them.
"Look, he's a good husband who loves his wife. If I'm lucky enough to be loved by such a person, my life will be worth it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was laughed at by everyone.
Everyone laughed at her and said she was a toad wanting to eat swan meat and overestimating her own abilities.
The woman was not happy and said, "Don't think that I am not good-looking, but my husband likes me. You people are really unsophisticated. If I didn't have this love for beauty, how could my husband marry me as his wife?"
Regardless of the voices coming from the crowd, the woman had a sweet look on her face.
Fu Yuheng was also itching to try it.
If Wanwan could think of him this way, they wouldn't have reached this situation.
Without waiting for the gossips to finish speaking, Qingwan got up from the table and went to her room to rest.
She was so angry that she wanted to vent, but in the end she couldn't.
I was feeling depressed and flipping through the ancient books I had recently found on my bed.
Before long, she heard the door of the room open. Qingwan felt that there was no quiet place anywhere and that she would be overwhelmed by the complicated emotions sooner or later.
Fu Yuheng walked in and saw Shen Qingwan sitting on the bed reading a book.
"What are you looking at?"
Fu Yuheng asked.
Shen Qingwan showed him the title of the book in her hand.
It turned out to be a book on military strategy.
Fu Yuheng moved his fingers.
"You weren't full just now, do you want to ask the waiter to bring you a few more dishes?"
Fu Yuheng asked, but Shen Qingwan politely refused.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am not hungry. If you have something to say, you don't have to talk to me."
Fu Yuheng's expression paused, and he suddenly didn't know what to say. Such a thorough rejection was something Fu Yuheng had never seen in front of Shen Qingwan, nor in other women.
But there was always a part in his heart that was wriggling, clamoring for him to go over and touch the girl.
His concubine.
"Then, my beloved concubine, you don't plan to participate in my important affairs?"
Fu Yuheng asked tentatively, and he showed a cautious attitude in front of Shen Qingwan that he had never shown before. Unfortunately, the woman no longer cared much.
She was only surprised for a moment, then returned to normal.
I thought I shouldn't be so stiff. After all, they have been married for many years, and they also agreed to help him take back the throne.
"Your Majesty, if you have any questions, please tell me. I will help you if I can. Is there any progress in Okon? What did the gray-robed man say?"
Shen Qingwan asked kindly.
Fu Yuheng felt happy but sad at the same time.
They have actually fallen to the point where they have to rely on these things to maintain their relationship. Fu Yuheng doesn't understand how it has become like this. Before Shen Qingwan went to the military camp to seek help, she was still doing fine.
"Wanwan, what happened to you? Can you tell me?"
For the first time, Fu Yuheng wanted to understand a woman's inner world.
Shen Qingwan decided to tell the truth.
"Your Majesty, since you have heard my conversation with my father, I will not hide it anymore. I am really tired. The intrigues in the palace have brought me too much pain and pressure. I want to live an ordinary life, even if it means marrying an ordinary man. As long as this person is willing to treat me well with all his heart, it will be more practical than anything else."
Fu Yuheng obviously rejected this statement.
"You are my woman, no matter what time it is. Don't ever have such thoughts again. I will never allow it."
Shen Qingwan was silent.
Look, it's this overbearing attitude. She always puts him first and is never worthy of having her own feelings and emotions. When she is with him, she definitely takes more than she gets.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me carefully for once and care about my feelings from beginning to end, but you still haven't done it now. I am really tired."
Fu Yuheng was speechless, but the familiar way of getting along could not be changed. He only knew that if he didn't catch her now, he might lose her in this life.
So even though she hated him, Fu Yuheng was determined to keep Shen Qingwan by his side.
Such thoughts prevented him from listening to Shen Qingwan's true inner feelings, and instead added fuel to the end of their relationship.
Shen Qingwan lowered her eyes in disappointment.
"Let's talk about the gray-robed man."
Qingwan calmed down and changed the subject.
Seeing her obvious avoidance of the question, Fu Yuheng tactfully did not bring it up again.
He thought about it and told Shen Qingwan everything the gray-robed man had said to him.
Qingwan frowned.
"That person is actually from the Okon royal family and has a close relationship with the current emperor. From his words, it is not difficult to hear that there is another force that is also against you, and this force is likely to use this palace coup to gain benefits for itself."
