Wu Ling motioned to the cold-faced maid to bring some tea and cakes over, and smiled faintly, asking, "Aren't you also feeling weird?"
This made her stunned. She had forgotten that the reason she was interested in her was because she felt that they had similar personalities. In this case, she herself was also a weirdo.
The two looked at each other with admiration in their eyes, and even though they didn't speak, they didn't feel awkward.
The maid was also very cold, and the whole yard seemed very quiet, but it also made people feel clear-headed.
"This girl has been with me since she was a child. She has no father or mother, so she has a cold temper. Don't be surprised." Wu Ling glanced in the direction of the kitchen and sighed.
Shen Qingwan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, she just felt a little cold, but she didn't expect that he had such a life experience, and she also knew that he was a pitiful person. She nodded and said, "It's okay, I don't care about these."
Maybe because they were close, or maybe because they both liked playing the piano, they chatted so much that they forgot the time. In fact, they were just talking about trivial matters in the palace and some of their own thoughts. It was not until Lianyun beside her reminded her that it was getting late that she suddenly realized that she had been chatting for such a long time.
After getting along with each other, Wu Ling was no longer as cold as before. She told Moran to go to the kitchen to prepare and asked her to stay and have dinner with her.
She did not refuse and accepted it generously.
It was not until after dinner that both of them felt a little tired, and Shen Qingwan left.
"This Concubine De is a nice person to get along with, unlike some people." Lianyun narrowed her eyes and smiled. Even she could sense her kindness. It was said that Concubine De was a gentle person, and now it seemed that her reputation was well-deserved.
"You, keep talking nonsense. Be careful that your tongue might be pulled out one day!" Shen Qingwan was in a good mood. Seeing Lianyun's look, she did not blame her. Instead, she wanted to tease her.
Lianyun quickly covered her mouth, fearing that her tongue would really be pulled out. She shook her head and looked at her pitifully.
Seeing her like this, she softened her heart and only warned her not to talk nonsense outside in the future, as the affairs of the palace were not to be discussed casually.
She put the zither away. Now she knew most of the people in the palace.
Wu Ling seldom went out, usually staying alone in the courtyard, and only went out on important occasions or when summoned by the emperor. Because of this, she only knew that there was such a person in the palace until now. She had only heard of the Shufei before, but had never seen her.
Since that meeting, she would often sit with her when she had free time. The two of them would chat about personal matters, or play the piano together. They lived a very comfortable life.
Sometimes Li Ruotong would go along, even if they couldn't play the piano together, but at least she could ease the overly calm atmosphere between the two of them. She would make them laugh from time to time, which was quite interesting.
"Your Majesty is not busy today?"
Somehow, Fu Yuheng knew that the two of them often interacted with each other. After finishing his official duties, he took some time to come over and take a look, and it happened that both of them were there.
"Your Majesty, would you like to listen to some music?" Wu Ling still looked indifferent, and seemed to be more distant than when he first met her.
"Let's start." Fu Yuheng didn't care at all. He must have been used to her personality. He just lifted up his robe, sat down, closed his eyes slightly and listened.
This seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two of them. When she started to play, Shen Qingwan also followed suit.
Sometimes I seemed to be running on the grassland in my mind, and sometimes I seemed to be in the forest, listening to the birds singing.
The main thing to listen to when playing the piano is the artistic conception. The music played by the duo makes people feel indescribably leisurely, and even the fatigue caused by a day's work gradually fades away.
"Good!" After the song was over, Fu Yuheng laughed loudly, and all the troubles were thrown behind his mind, "I have raised two good concubines."
Wu Ling had been practicing the piano since she was a child. If he was too bored, he would occasionally come here to listen to her playing the piano to relieve his depression. However, she remained distant from him, and he could not blame her entirely. After all, it was he who had her brother imprisoned in the Sky Prison and forced her to marry into the palace.
Now it is considered to be giving him a lot of face.
Shen Qingwan didn't know the mystery, but she could see that when Wu Ling looked at the emperor, in addition to alienation, there were some more complicated emotions in her eyes, as if there was resentment and even some hatred.
But these words could never be said out loud, after all, that person was the emperor.
"It's getting late, and Your Majesty must be tired. You should go back and rest first." Wu Ling said lightly, and there was a hint in his voice that he wanted to shoo him away.
He glanced at her with a gloomy look, "It's time for my virtuous concubine to go back and rest." Fu Yuheng's eyes were filled with resentment, "Come with me."
Even if I were to leave, I would feel too lonely alone, so I took her with me.
"Your Majesty, I will naturally leave as well, but..." Shen Qingwan found it funny. Seeing that he looked so shocked, she added fuel to the fire without saying anything, "It seems that Your Majesty and I are not on the same road."
As soon as he said this, I saw that his face looked a little embarrassed and I didn't know how to respond.
He didn't seem to be angry, he just shook his sleeves, looking a little angry.
"In that case, I will leave first. You can do whatever you want!" He stood up and left without looking back, leaving the two people looking at each other with smiles on their faces.
"Then I won't stay any longer. I'll come and bother you again if I'm free in the future." Shen Qingwan put the zither in her arms. She didn't bring Lianyun with her today, so she was alone when she returned.
The moonlight shines down on my body, making the cold night more peaceful. From time to time, I hear the sound of birds singing. Walking alone on the road, I feel a little lonely.
I don’t know what happened to that person. Thinking of Fu Yuheng who also left alone, I felt more worried.
They were apparently chatting and laughing just now, but now, they seem a little deserted.
It was not until she returned to the room and heard Lianyun chattering in her ear that she felt the loneliness in her heart gradually dissipated.
"My lady." Lianyun curled her lips in displeasure, "Why don't you bring me with you? I am so bored staying alone in the room."
Shen Qingwan smiled again. She said it was boring if she took him there, and she also said it was boring if she didn't go there. She must be a difficult person to please.
"Then I'll take you there next time." Leaning on the bed, he felt helpless, but also felt a little more popular.
