If they are all idiots, wouldn't the emperor cry to death
So the men all followed their bad instincts and speculated wildly about Fu Yuheng's thoughts and actions. They were even very interested in the anecdotes in the harem. This was considered one of their ordinary amusement. Even if Shen Qingwan heard it, she would just laugh it off.
But Fu Yuheng couldn't accept it.
It's quite a funny and sad feeling.
"Why are they so interested in this kind of thing? It's all made up. It's hard to believe that the man is talking so excitedly."
Shen Qingwan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that these people are full of awe and envy for the imperial palace. In their eyes, you are the most supreme existence in Daliang. With you here, no matter whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it can be solved well. Didn't you hear that no matter how amazing I am, I can't compare to your status in their hearts."
She has always been Fu Yuheng's concubine and queen, unlike Fu Yuheng, who speaks with real strength and is respected by people.
Fu Yuheng embraced her and said, "Don't doubt your ability. If it weren't for your contribution in Jiangnan, we wouldn't have escaped danger."
Thinking of that experience, Shen Qingwan couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Although it was hard, I learned something from it and grew. The emperor thought I suffered, but I was actually practicing for my future success."
Fu Yuheng found her talk quite interesting and just joined in the fun without trying to discourage her.
"But don't take risks anymore, okay? I'd rather you not know anything and just stay in my arms than get so close to danger. During the time you were missing, I was almost a living dead."
Shen Qingwan felt distressed by what he said.
"Okay, I promise you."
The two of them spent a few more moments in cuddling, then began their afternoon practice.
Fu Yuheng's hands-on teaching was indeed useful. Within a few days, Shen Qingwan became more agile than the average woman and her strength was almost as good as that of men.
"I suddenly feel strength in my hands, but it's still far behind those of you who know martial arts. I need to strengthen my training."
Shen Qingwan was quite annoyed. It would have been great if she had followed her father and practiced martial arts like her brother since she was a child.
But General Shen is a very old-fashioned and strict person. Girls are not allowed to touch these men's things, otherwise they will be scolded for misbehavior.
Her progress today is also due to her good relationship with her brother. When her father was not around, she begged Brother Shen to teach her some simple moves, but she had no internal strength at all and was afraid of being exposed.
Even so, Shen Qingwan was very content and enjoyed practicing. When her elder brother was practicing martial arts, she served tea and water by the side, and learned from him at the same time.
Fu Yuheng already looked at her with admiration.
"Wanwan, you must have practiced this when you were young, otherwise your lower body skills wouldn't be so stable. It saves me a lot of effort when teaching you."
Shen Qingwan likes to hear him praise her progress the most, and her daily anticipation starts from this.
"Your Majesty, have I made any progress today? Do you think I still have room for improvement?"
Fu Yuheng smiled and replied, "It is very big, but we have too little time to give you enough time to practice. Otherwise, you might be able to catch up with the first-class experts."
Qingwan was overjoyed. Although she knew that Fu Yuheng was trying to make her happy, she still accepted the compliment with great respect.
"I will take your words and train hard in these three months, and then I will open a bright road for you!"
Fu Yuheng was not very happy when she said this. He wished he could be with her all the time, but sometimes things just don't go as planned. The more you want to do something, the less likely you are to accomplish it.
Every day, Shen Qingwan would get up before dawn to practice martial arts, doing horse stance and breathing exercises, vowing to master her martial arts skills and boxing skills to the point where she could fight with ordinary men, and then have enough strength to escape.
"Press your hands down and stand straight with your legs apart."
Fu Yuheng taught them patiently one by one, without any sign of impatience.
If Shen Qingwan is the best apprentice, then Fu Yuheng is the best master.
Three months were spent coaching these two people, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to reunite with Ye Feng and the others.
Shen Qingwan left enough money for Brother Shen one day in advance, and asked them to disperse into the city to contact Huo Langqi who was in Aokong, and then she and Fu Yuheng hurriedly set off.
On the other side, Ye Feng also returned from Brother Wu’s base. It was hard to describe this trip in words.
When she arrived at the dilapidated temple in the capital, Shen Qingwan actually missed her life back then.
A tattered porcelain bowl, two men and women who knew each other and stayed together, at this moment of separation, she seemed to have returned to the days when she went to the military camp to contact her elder brother, and her heart was full of satisfaction.
Lighting the fire, cooking, and collecting game, Shen Qingwan did everything with ease.
Without any help from others, Lianyun just lent a hand and prepared the dinner in an orderly manner.
Fu Yuheng was watching from the side and felt that the scene was very pleasing to the eye.
I couldn't help but call out: "Wanwan..."
Shen Qingwan was concentrating on eating when she suddenly heard Fu Yuheng's voice. She looked up and responded. Her head and face were covered in sweat, which was shining brightly under the firelight.
Fu Yuheng walked over and wiped her clean with a clean towel, and Shen Qingwan thanked him with a smile.
"Thank you, husband."
Lianyun watched from the side and laughed secretly.
The young lady and her husband are getting along better and better, which is really a good thing.
Fu Yuheng was not very happy when he heard her thank you.
"You and I don't need to say thank you. I am your husband, so I must take good care of you. If you say anything else, I will be angry."
Shen Qingwan knew what he meant, so she didn't say much. She just smiled and fed him a bite of game she had picked from the mountain. Fu Yuheng chewed it a few times, and his mouth was full of fragrance.
"What's so rare about this? Why haven't I eaten it before?"
Shen Qingwan and Lianyun looked at each other and both laughed.
"Your Majesty, this is a wild vegetable from the mountains. You usually eat a lot of meat and fish, so you have never eaten these things that ordinary people eat. Our queen saw it and picked it up. She didn't recognize it before, but after learning from a young general, she recognized it and said that she would cook it for you to taste when she had the chance."
Fu Yuheng was deeply moved, but he couldn't express this feeling in front of Lianyun, so he had to bury it deep in his heart. As he worried about Shen Qingwan's future, it turned into motivation and he ran towards the good days in the future.
Qingwan cooked a meal and traveled for a whole day, so she was really tired.
After dinner, she pounded her sore arms, as the muscles she had exercised a few days ago had not yet felt relieved.
