Fu Yuheng picked up a memorial and put it down again, feeling depressed. These trivial matters made his heart ache. He really didn't know what these ministers were doing. They couldn't handle anything all day long. He rubbed his aching temple and a figure appeared in his mind.
"Sun Ning, go and call Concubine Xian."
"This... Your Majesty, this is inappropriate." Sun Ning hesitated for a while, but still asked. The harem should not interfere in politics, and the last time the virtuous concubine came, she had already been blamed by the empress dowager...
"My words are of no use anymore!" Fu Yuheng's eyes widened, and the cold look made him feel that his head would be separated from his neck in the next second.
He quickly lowered his head and said, "I dare not." He retreated in three steps and two steps, feeling cold sweat on his forehead. The emperor's temper was really getting worse and worse. I'm afraid that only the virtuous concubine can calm him down now.
But he also felt a little sorry for her. After all, he had heard about the last incident, and it was said that she became ill due to too much pressure. But now he had to call her over again.
"Eunuch Sun, what wind brings you here?" Shen Qingwan smiled with her hands covering her lips. The Eunuch Sun in front of her was sweating profusely from running, and his hair was a little messy because of the wind, looking like he was fleeing.
"Ouch." Sun Ning's face wrinkled together, and he slapped his thigh and shouted, "My Lady Concubine, please stop making fun of me. Go to the study quickly. The Emperor insisted on calling you, and I can't stop him!"
Shen Qingwan had come into contact with the emperor and knew his temper. She knew that Eunuch Sun must have come here on the emperor's orders, so she would not make things difficult for him.
"Eunuch Sun, please wait a moment." She was not in a hurry, but just waved her hand and asked Lianyun to come over, "Go and bring the soup I made in the kitchen."
As soon as these words came out, Sun Ning looked at her with even more admiration. The virtuous concubine was indeed very thoughtful and virtuous. She was so considerate to the emperor, no wonder the emperor valued her so much.
But at this time, he was really wrong. In fact, she wanted to drink this bowl of soup herself, but now she had to go to the emperor. If the soup was left for a long time, it would get cold, and then the ingredients for cooking the soup would be wasted. It was because of this that she brought the soup over as well, just offering a gift to the emperor.
Along the way, Shen Qingwan thought a lot in her mind. In fact, the emperor had called her to the study more than once or twice, but she tried her best to avoid him most of the time. But after all, it was not a long-term solution.
Sun Ning, who was standing by, saw that she seemed to be thinking about something, so he didn't say anything to disturb her, but just led the way in front of her.
"Your Majesty, we're here." He didn't speak until they reached the door of the study.
"Thank you, Eunuch Sun." He came back to his senses from his thoughts, took the cooked soup from Lianyun, and then pushed the door open and entered.
As soon as she entered the door, a folded book was thrown at her feet.
"Hmph!" Fu Yuheng sat there angrily, not knowing what he was worried about.
Shen Qingwan did not react, but just put the soup in her hand on the table and then spoke slowly, "Who is so bold as to offend the emperor again?"
With a "bang", he threw another folded book on the table, almost spilling the soup.
"It's still that bunch of trash!" He punched the table.
She quickly picked up the soup again, and when she punched it down, everything on the table shook. If it was just a little bit off, the bowl of soup would have been wasted.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Seeing that he had calmed down a little, she put down the bowl in her hand and walked over to massage his shoulders and back. Even Fu Yuheng was surprised. When did she become so virtuous
But he just squinted his eyes and enjoyed it, "You are well behaved today." The depression in his heart was much calmer. He lowered his head to look at the memorials in his hand, reviewed a few of them, and then looked up at the soup on the table, "Where did this soup come from?"
He didn't expect that she would bring soup today. He turned to look at the person who was massaging his shoulders. She seemed to be a different person today, making it even harder for him to see clearly.
"I asked the kitchen to make that soup." Shen Qingwan answered truthfully, but she didn't say who it was made for. Because of this, he naturally thought it was made specially for him.
"My beloved concubine is so thoughtful." Fu Yuheng felt a little more satisfied, but he felt that something was wrong. Could she really be so kind
He turned to look at her who was lowering her head, his eyes becoming more and more profound, "Tell me, you should have something to say to me!"
You hit the nail on the head. The soup wasn’t anything special, but she was indeed being too attentive today.
Shen Qingwan covered her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty really understands me."
"Hmph, you're being too nice for no reason." He stared at the soup on the table thoughtfully and motioned for her to bring the soup over.
Shen Qingwan followed his instructions and scooped up a spoonful of soup. The soup was still a little hot, so she blew on it before passing it to him, "Your Majesty."
He felt uneasy when she looked at him with such affectionate eyes. He was not used to her doing this. He took the soup that was delivered to his mouth and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."
I don’t know if it’s because I was a little flustered, but I didn’t even have the confidence to speak.
"Well... Your Majesty, look..." Shen Qingwan spoke in a delicate voice, and even she herself felt her hair stand on end.
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Fu Yuheng, "Stop! My dear, it's better to be normal." She coughed twice and her ears turned a little red.
This was the first time she saw him like this. She almost burst out laughing, but she bit her lip to hold it back.
"Then I'll speak directly." She didn't like beating around the bush, but today she really needed his help, so she acted in a coy manner. After regaining her normal tone, she spoke again, "Your Majesty must know that the harem should not interfere in government affairs, but I am willing to help Your Majesty solve his problems."
Fu Yuheng nodded when he heard this, motioning for her to continue.
"But I often come to the study room, and I am instructed by others. If someone with ulterior motives sees me, it will definitely cause trouble." Shen Qingwan's expression began to become serious, and she really couldn't be careless about this matter. If this matter was used by someone with ulterior motives, it would cause certain damage to the emperor's reputation, or the suspicion of her.
"That makes sense. So tell me, what should we do now?" Fu Yuheng supported his chin with his hand and tapped his fingers on the table regularly. He was indeed not thoughtful enough about this matter. Listening to her words, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Shen Qingwan put down the bowl of soup in her hand and knelt on the ground. Fu Yuheng was so shocked that he stood up from behind the table and asked, "What are you doing?"
