Chapter 332

Seeing this, Liu Yurou felt a surge of warmth in her heart: "They are all good children, they are all good children."

Such a happy life was something she never dared to dream of before.

At this moment, a palace servant bowed and hurried in from outside the tent. He reported to Song Xuan, "Your Majesty, Consort Shen fainted outside just now."

Consort Shen was, after all, a member of the harem. Although she was not favored, she still had to report to His Majesty according to the rules if something happened.

The warm atmosphere inside the tent was shattered, and Song Xuan's face showed a hint of impatience: "Why did she faint?"

If it weren't for Shen Zheng and his son, he would never have brought Shen Man along.

The palace maid replied, "Your Majesty, according to the maid serving Consort Shen, Consort Shen was relieving herself in the wild when she suddenly screamed and fainted. It seems she fainted after seeing something like mosquitoes, snakes, or ants."

In that pitch-black wilderness, there's no telling what might be there.

"Just take him back. If anything happens, call the imperial physician. What use is it to come to me?" Song Xuan waved his hand, his dark eyes filled with annoyance.

“Yes,” the palace servant quickly bowed and replied.

Xia Zi, who was behind, stepped forward with great tact. He waved his whisk and said in a shrill voice, "Go away, go away. Don't stand here in the way. From now on, you don't need to come in and report such trivial matters."

As someone serving the emperor, he naturally knew how to handle the matter. This palace servant was only causing trouble the first time, so His Majesty wouldn't mind. But if she came again, he might have to ask her for a beating.

He appeared to be scolding the palace servants, but in reality, he was instructing them on how to do things.

The palace attendant nodded repeatedly, bowed again, and then quietly withdrew from the tent.

After the palace attendant left, Xia Zi bowed and cautiously spoke, "Your Majesty, General Zheng and the other ministers are presumably awaiting your orders in the main tent. Shall we prepare the carriage...?"

Having just arrived at the camp, His Majesty is required to make an appearance to arrange matters for tomorrow's autumn hunt, according to custom. If nothing unexpected happens, all the accompanying court officials are already waiting outside the main tent.

But His Majesty's current appearance clearly showed that he was unwilling to leave, so he could only bite the bullet and remind him. Fortunately, the Imperial Concubine was there and could say a few words on his behalf.

Upon hearing this, Song Xuan frowned, his words cold and impatient, carrying an imposing air: "It's still late tonight, we can discuss it again tomorrow."

He stayed in Qingnian's tent, not wanting to leave for even a moment longer.

Xia Zi felt a cold sweat break out on his back. He secretly glanced at Shen Qingnian's position, hoping that the other party would help him out of this predicament.

“Your Majesty, tomorrow is the autumn hunt, and many things need to be arranged now,” Shen Qingnian said.

As she spoke, she took the man's large hand and led him toward the tent flap.

Song Xuan followed Shen Qingnian obediently and left. Xia Zi breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed to Liu Yurou and the two little ones, and said in a low voice, "This servant will take his leave now. If there is anything, you can send someone to find this servant."

Little Shen Xi smiled, revealing her white teeth: "Eunuch Xia, you should leave quickly."

Seeing how adorable her little sister was, Xiao Yanqing couldn't help but pinch her cheek. Beside her, Liu Yurou softly said, "Then we'll have to trouble Eunuch Xia."

"No need for that, a servant should serve his master well," Xia Zi said, bowing again before quickly following Song Xuan's retreating figure.

Shen Qingnian escorted Song Xuan to the outside of the tent and said, "Your Majesty, the autumn hunt is of utmost importance."

Song Xuan's dark eyes flashed with helplessness: "You really can't wait for me to leave."

"I await Your Majesty's arrangements for the autumn hunt," Shen Qingnian lightly hooked the man's finger, and the next moment, she fell into his arms.

The man's low voice sounded in her ear: "Tonight, you will obediently wait for me."
