Chapter 37 Jealousy

The Emperor just picked the person up horizontally, and the person's eyes trembled.

Shen Fu had just opened her eyes when a deep voice came from above her head: "Wake up."

Xiao Yu lowered his head and glanced at the person in his arms.

Shen Fu had just woken up, and her palm-sized cheeks were flushed from sleep. The clear black and white eyes opened, the drizzle was hazy as if with mist, and his face was blank.

Hearing the sound, Shen Fu's curled eyelashes trembled a few times and she quickly raised her head.

She looked up at the Emperor in front of her, then looked down at herself, and her face turned red instantly.

"Your Majesty, please let me go." Shen Fu struggled to get out of his arms.

"I'll walk by myself." Shen Fu said as she struggled, but she was petite and not very strong, so not only did she fail to break free, but she also made him furious.

Xiao Yu's eyes darkened a little, and his gaze fell on her legs: "Can you walk by yourself?"

Shen Fu bit her lip, shyly not daring to look at him. Her slender fingers grasped the collar of his shirt unintentionally, and she mustered up the courage to say, "I...I can."

The woman in his arms is delicate and lovely, every part of her body is soft and lovely.

Xiao Yu heard her timid voice, his throat rolled, and he couldn't help teasing her: "You can still walk by yourself with an injured leg? You are deceiving the emperor."

Shen Fu's lively eyes widened, and her palm-sized face was full of astonishment. She probably didn't expect that just a few words would escalate to the level of deceiving the king.

The hand on his chest was tightly placed, with the fingertips curled up, and then she confessed as if begging for mercy: "Your servant... Your servant cannot leave."

Her voice was small, and her snow-white body curled up in his arms, looking so obedient and soft.

Her curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and Shen Fu said again: "But, but men and women should not touch each other."

Under the plain moon-like fairy skirt, the slender legs that were as white as snow swayed slightly. The little girl grabbed his sleeve and shook it: "Your Majesty, you'd better put me down."

Shen Fusheng was already particularly attractive, and she looked at him with such innocent eyes.

His Majesty tightened his grip on Shen Fu a few inches, and her slender waist fell into his palm, leaving only a thin section.

He took a deep breath.

The woman in his arms was really too naive. Did she think that she could still escape from his hands now?

For fear of scaring the person in his arms, Xiao Yu did not say that he had made up his mind to make Chen Fu his woman.

Only the hand that was pinching Chen Fu's waist tightened. When he looked down again, his eyes had become slightly warning: "If you move again, I can't guarantee what will happen next."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Fu became obedient instantly.

The hand that was grabbing his robe curled up, and Shen Fu sat in his arms, obediently not daring to move.

Even her breathing became lighter, and only her jade-like neck began to flush inch by inch.

Xiao Yu looked at her deeply for a few seconds, then took a side step and carried her to the soft couch.

"Sit down." He said and was about to stand up when a hand reached out from behind and gently grasped his sleeve.

Xiao Yu looked at the hand that fell on his sleeve and raised his eyebrows.

He was born as an emperor, and he naturally gave people a sense of oppression. On ordinary days, very few people dared to approach easily, except on the bed, when the concubines in the harem were a little more unrestrained.

The brave ones would often do this, hooking his sleeve to prevent him from leaving.

This action was really too ambiguous for Xiao Yu.

He looked at Shen Fu's palm-sized face and asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

The dark dragon robe was grasped in the palm of her hand, but Shen Fu pretended not to know anything. She squeezed the sleeves beneath her palms and bit her lips lightly.

Mustering up her courage, she said to His Majesty: "I...I should go back."

It's already evening, and it will be dark if this continues.

Chen Fu opened her glass-like eyes, which were misty and full of innocence: "If you don't come back, my elder sister will be worried."

When Xiao Yu met the pair of eyes with distinct black and white, he felt that the thought in his mind just now was a little too filthy.

Even facing these pure eyes, those thoughts seemed inappropriate.

His throat rolled over, Xiao Yu rubbed the jade ring on his fingertips for a few times, and then said lightly: "You hurt your leg, what should I do?"

He didn't want Shen Fu to go back.

Meeting His Majesty's gaze, Shen Fu instantly understood his thoughts. She breathed a sigh of relief; this was exactly what she wanted.

What she wants is for His Majesty to be interested in her.

However, the more this is the case, the more we cannot let him get it too early.

"No...isn't there any other way?" Chen Fu pinched her palms, and the priceless Bright Moon Fairy Dress crumpled into a ball in her palms.

Chen Fu bit her lip and raised her head with courage: "Your Majesty, can you send someone to take me back?"

As she spoke, she looked at Lin An behind His Majesty with anticipation.

The latter noticed her gaze, Lin An paused, then silently moved to the side.

Auntie, please don't look at me!

Lin An was begging for help in his heart and wanted to run away as soon as possible.

Didn’t you see that? His Majesty’s gaze is so murderous.

Lin An was groaning in his heart. His Majesty looked behind him a few times, then turned back to look at Chen Fu's face.

"Do you really want to come back?" His Majesty's voice was low and hoarse in his dry throat.

Shen Fu met that deep gaze and her cheeks suddenly turned red.

She turned her face away, her face so red with shame that it was hard to tell what she was feeling. Under the long black hair, the white jade-like earlobes gradually turned red and dripped blood.

"I want it back."

Just as Xiao Yu's eyes were fixed on her earlobe, Shen Fu's mosquito-like voice gradually sounded.

She hesitated, her voice trembling visibly. But he still mustered up the courage to say, "I want to go back."

Xiao Yu stopped groping with his fingertips.

Seeing the woman's look, he couldn't bear to force her. There is a long way to go. He is the emperor and Chen Fu is a concubine. Sooner or later, Chen Fu will be his.

He took a step back and said, "I'll have someone take you there."

Xiao Yu glanced behind him, and Lin An noticed the Emperor's wooden gaze and understood instantly.

He quickly stepped forward with a smile: “Miss Chen Fu, I will take you back.”

Shen Fu did not hide the expression on her face, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry on her face gradually subsided.

Xiao Yu saw every expression on her face.

In her heart, she sneered at Shen Fu for still being a little girl. Just as she was shaking her head, she saw that expectant gaze fall on her again: “Long live the Lord.”

Xiao Yu thought she was regretting it, so he chuckled and waited for her with his head raised.

But Shen Fu looked at him eagerly, her eyes full of pleading. The pair of eyes looked away for a long while.

Xiao Yu's mind moved, and he thought she had finally come to her senses.

Just when I thought she was going to say something, she opened her mouth blankly: "Food box..."

Shen Fu mustered up her courage to meet his eyes, her black and white eyes full of innocence: "Eldest sister asked Shen Fu to bring cakes and soup."

The disappointment in Xiao Yu's eyes disappeared in an instant, followed by a laugh.

I don't know what I was expecting just now.

Besides, I don’t know whether Shen Fu is stupid or not smart. Now that she is in such a state, she still doesn’t forget to seek benefits for her elder sister.

Shaking his head, his sharp eyes fell on Shen Fu's chest.

After a moment, he lowered his head and opened the letter in his hand, saying pointedly: "I saw the food box."

"As for where the soup went... you should know it in your heart."

******

In the evening, the clouds are magnificent and gorgeous, and the setting sun shines on the glazed tiles, emitting fragmented light.

Lin An personally served and had someone carry Chen Fu back to Changqiu Palace in a sedan chair.

But just as he was carrying the imperial staff and heading towards Changqiu Palace, a young eunuch secretly ran into Yikun Palace.

The one who lived in Yiku Palace was Concubine Shu.

After Shufei entered the palace, she was extremely favored, so naturally even her residence in the palace had to be different from others. In the past, the Yikun Palace was always the most lively place, but today it was completely silent.

The palace maids stood there, not daring to even breathe heavily.

The young eunuch knelt on the ground and said, "This is what I saw."

Right in front of her, Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows. She was born beautiful, with a sense of pride between her eyebrows.

But at this time, there was a sneer on his face. Even that touch of beauty became aggressive.

"Did you see clearly that it is indeed Changqiu Palace?"

The young eunuch knelt down, not daring to raise his head. After hearing the voice, he just nodded: "Yes, I saw it for real, it was definitely heading in the direction of the Palace of Heavenly Purity."

You don’t have to guess who lives in Changqiu Palace.

Concubine Xiang was not favored only because she relied on her noble family background and the fact that she had a third prince.

The one who was truly favored was Shen Ronghua, who had been in the palace for several years.

Concubine Shu remembered Shen Ronghua, but she just remembered that she had a good face. It is really Shen Ronghua who is so good that even with so many concubines in the harem, they are all unforgettable.

However, Concubine Shu has always been proud of herself, so what if Chen Ronghua is so beautiful? With her looks, there's really no need to take her seriously.

Even though it was heard that Shen Ronghua was quite favored recently, Concubine Shu never cared.

But she never expected that the person in Wansuiye Ganqing Palace at noon was Shen Ronghua.

"Very good!"

Concubine Shu slapped her palms hard, and the teacup on the table shook instantly.

Hearing the sound, Concubine Shu turned her head and glanced.

The scene in the Palace of Heavenly Purity immediately came to her mind. She was so angry that she picked up the teacup at hand and threw it to the ground.

"Who the hell is she? How dare she come and snatch my favor?"

As soon as the teacup fell, the servants in the room knelt on the ground. Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and cursed, "Bitch."

******

In Changqiu Palace, Shen Qingru still didn't know that she had become a thorn in the side of Concubine Shu.

She looked towards the door from time to time, and her heart was beating fast.

Chen Fu left at noon and had not returned by evening. The more Shen Qingru thought about it, the more she regretted it.

She naturally knew what the Emperor intended for Shen Fu.

The longer the time went on, the deeper her worries became. She was afraid that what she would be waiting for later would not be Shen Fu's return, but the news that His Majesty would take her as his concubine.

"My lady, be careful with your hands." Shen Qingru was worried. In comparison, Fengchun is much calmer.

She brought the teacup and put it down gently: "My lady, it's useless to worry. It won't be worth it if you hurt your hand."

Shen Qingru listened and looked at her hands.

She was beautiful, with a pair of hands with slender fingers, like scallions. But during this period of time, Concubine Xiang deliberately tortured her every day.

The pair of hands that were as beautiful as white jade before have now become as rough as those of a palace maid.

Shen Qingru felt upset when she saw this.

The armored fingers tapped on the table: "Why hasn't Shen Fu come back yet?"

"Send someone out to check it out."

Shen Qingru looked at the sky outside which was getting dark and was so anxious that she wanted to go look for it herself.

Just as he got up, the young eunuch came running over excitedly: "Here I come."

Meeting Shen Qingru's eyes, the young eunuch raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Miss Shen Fu is back."

Shen Qingru was ecstatic at first, and then extremely angry.

Chen Fu was really stupid. It took so long to deliver just some pastries and soup.

“Chen Fu, where on earth did you go…” Having been worried for a whole day, Shen Qingru’s tone was naturally bad.

Before the young eunuch could finish his words, he hurried out.

But when she saw the movement in the yard, she swallowed the words in her throat little by little.

In the courtyard, I saw His Majesty's dragon sedan parked in a grand manner. Lin An, the chief eunuch beside His Majesty, was humbly helping Chen Fu get down from the dragon sedan chair.

Seeing this scene, Shen Qingru was stunned.

Why is Lin An here? What about His Majesty?

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Shen Qingru's face. She looked at Lin An, and then at Shen Fu beside him: "What's wrong?"

The aggressive look on her face disappeared, and her voice became extremely gentle.

But the domineering look just now is really unforgettable.

Lin An has seen a lot in this harem, but it is still a little hard to believe.

Coming back to his senses, Lin An glanced at Chen Fu beside him.

Shen Fu was visibly frightened, her eyes were filled with panic, and her face turned visibly pale.

This Shen Ronghua seemed like a different person compared to usual. And the relationship between the Shen sisters doesn't seem to be that good.

Lin An was a shrewd man. No matter what he felt, he never showed it on his face: "Your servant is here to see Chen Ronghua."

He leaned forward, bent over and supported Shen Fu's arm, and explained: "Your Majesty is not here, so I came here specially to send Miss Shen Fu back."

His Majesty didn’t come? Send Chen Fu to use His Majesty's dragon sedan chair?

Why does Shen Fu do that? How could she have such merit?

Shen Qingru clenched her palms, and was about to say "Why?", but she suppressed it abruptly: "Thank you, Eunuch Lin, it is us who have caused trouble for His Majesty."

She glanced at Fengchun behind her and signaled him to go and fetch Chen Fu. But when his eyes fell on Shen Fu again, the expression on Shen Qingru's face stiffened a little.

The flaming clouds painted half the sky red, magnificent and mysterious. Chen Fu stood under the sunset, the skirt she was wearing emitted fragmented light in the sun, making her look bright and dazzling.

Bright moon fairy skirt?

Shen Qingru recognized the dress at a glance. She clenched her palms tightly, and envy and jealousy in her heart burned like fire.

Why? Why will it always be like this?

Whatever she wanted, Shen Fu could get it without any effort!

"Eldest sister."

Shen Fu looked at the deep hatred in Shen Qingru's eyes and pretended not to know. She tilted her head and said innocently, "The food box has been delivered, don't worry, elder sister."
