Chapter 7 The delicate palace maid VS the cold emperor 7
The chief eunuch Xiao Fuzi, or most of the servants serving in the emperor's presence, like Su Zhiruan very much.
Those who can get to this position are not fools. It can even be said that they are all smart.
Everyone has a standard in their minds to measure who said what and who did what.
Recently, the emperor has been paying more and more attention to Susu. Today seems to be the turning point for Susu to ascend to the throne and become a phoenix.
Xiao Fuzi nodded with satisfaction. ——The next day.
After Su Zhiruan woke up, consciousness gradually returned.
She stretched out her hand and found a man lying next to her. Both she and the man were naked, with only a silk blanket gently covering their bodies.
At this moment, she found that her hand was still on the man's chest. Even someone like Su Zhiruan, who had little emotional fluctuations, was frightened at this time and quickly withdrew her hand.
Unexpectedly, this small action caused the most honorable emperor in the world to slowly wake up.
Shen Qi's voice was hoarse and he was a little sleepy. He half raised his eyes to look at the sky, then reached out and locked Su Zhiruan in his arms, "It's still early before the court session, you can sleep for a while."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Zhiruan found that she was now completely embraced by the man and was almost no longer sleepy. After she responded, she continued to act as a teddy bear and let Shen Qi hold her.
This was her first time, whether in her previous life or after being bound to the childbearing system. Her memory of last night was confused and unclear. In the end, she could only remember that her voice was hoarse, her back ached, and her consciousness gradually became confused amid the aroma of wine.
Shen Qi originally wanted to sleep a little longer, but after feeling the warm breath on his arm, he gradually woke up.
The red candle in the bedroom was dim, but it could just illuminate the girl's expression like a little white rabbit. Her pair of bright, clear, lively and innocent eyes just blinked. Perhaps it was too hot, her entire palm-sized oval face was flushed red.
It looks as delicate and attractive as the finest silk and satin.
With such a beauty, she would not be inferior even in the harem.
"Don't want to sleep?" Shen Qi patted her back again and again, his voice was as pleasant as magnetism. He seemed to think for a moment, and then spoke again, "If you can't sleep, tell me what position or title you want?"
He also had a great time yesterday. He had been paying attention to this little girl for a while and she was very much to his liking. She was not the arrogant and two-faced woman like the imperial concubine. This Su Su was very docile.
As an emperor, he would not develop feelings for any woman. Occasionally, if there was someone he liked and asked her to improve her position, as long as it was not excessive, he would be satisfied.
However, the emperor thought of all the possibilities in his mind, but heard another answer from the little girl.
"Your Majesty, I don't want a position, I just want to stay by your side," Su Zhiruan had her own considerations, raised her head and continued, "I want to continue to stay by your side and serve you, please take back your order."
She came to complete the mission, not to really participate in the palace fight. Even if she had no ideas at the moment, she had to pretend.
Alas, it is also an essential skill for workers.
"It's rare!" Shen Qi paused, picked up a lock of her hair from the pillow, played with it in his hand, and said with some curiosity, "Why don't you want a position? You know, if you get a position and a title, that's the treatment of a master. You don't have to serve others, someone will serve you, and you won't have to worry about food and drink."
Su Zhiruan said seriously: "If I get a position, then I won't be able to see the emperor often. If that's the case, then it's better not to have a position and stay with the emperor."
"If I can't see the emperor, then even if I get a high position, what can I do? I will be alone in the golden house." Su Zhiruan said seriously, looking straight at Shen Qi, "I care about your majesty, and your whole being."
Of course she was serious. If she went to the harem and couldn't see Shen Qi, it would be difficult to complete the mission.
Shen Qi was silent.
For a moment, he didn't even dare to look down at the girl's eyes.
This was the first time in his life as an emperor that he had shown such emotions.
Her eyes are so clean and innocent.
Coupled with her words that touched his heart, he thought a lot.
Everyone in the harem was trying to please him.
He was an emperor, so naturally he had no shortage of flatterers.
However, he could certainly see that the concubines in the harem approached him and vied for his favor simply because they wanted to gain status, rewards, and the right to be famous.
The servants approached him simply because they wanted to get promoted or were afraid of losing their heads.
The entire harem was created because of him, so naturally they need him. The whole world is in power because of him, so naturally they respect and honor him.
But if he puts aside this status and becomes an ordinary person, all these will disappear.
But now, there is a woman who cares about him.
I don't want position, I just want to see him.
"Okay, stay by my side." Shen Qi collected his thoughts and stood up to call for help. It was almost time. "Someone come!"
Xiao Fuzi had been waiting outside the door. After informing a few times and getting permission, he entered with a group of palace servants.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Your Majesty, it's time to wash up. I'm here to serve you." Xiao Fuzi didn't dare to look around. After paying her respects, she wanted to help the emperor dress.
"Eunuch Xiao Fuzi, let me do this." Su Zhiruan knew that it would be better if she appeared at this time, so she took the initiative to take on this job. She took the dragon robes from the shelf and put them on Shen Qi piece by piece.
Xiao Fuzi was somewhat shocked, but not much.
As soon as Shen Qi lowered his head, he could see the girl's thin gauze dress, her exquisite body, and her furry hair.
He felt warm in his heart.
The dragon robe was quickly put on, and Shen Qi prepared to go to court with a grand ceremonial procession.
Su Zhiruan sighed deeply, looked at the red spot on the bed, and prepared to pull the sheets down first.
When she first came to this world, she was a palace maid. After working diligently for a period of time, she was promoted to a palace maid serving the emperor. This position was much better than the previous one, and the work was not too tiring. Most of the time, she was only responsible for following Shen Qi and being ordered around when needed.
As for now, she did not go back to sleep, but simply cleaned up the bedroom and put away the dishes and wine jugs on the table.
After doing all this, she rubbed her waist and returned to her residence.
The little palace maid who served with her last night didn't know what had happened until she saw Su Zhiruan.
As she was getting dressed anxiously, she called out to Su Zhiruan, "Hurry up! His Majesty is about to leave the court, it's time for breakfast, hurry up and get ready with me."
"Don't be anxious. The emperor hasn't left the court yet. If you are anxious, it will be bad manners in front of the emperor." Su Zhiruan had already dressed, so she helped her to pack up, and received a grateful look from the little palace maid.
The dynasty attached great importance to etiquette, and the three meals a day were all large in scale.
After Shen Qi left court and entered the side hall of the Purple Palace, Su Zhiruan, the young palace maid, and a group of servants were already waiting in the palace.
"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty. Long live the emperor—"
Everyone saluted.
As soon as Shen Qi entered the hall, he saw Su Zhiruan at first sight.
