He tucked his hands behind his back and left the side hall, telling the emperor everything about the conversation that had just taken place.
Fu Yao was also unprepared: "What was her expression when she said these words?"
Sun Jinlu thought about it.
Sun Jinlu was silent.
"When Master Jiang spoke... he was eating with his head down, so I couldn't see clearly."
Fu Yao lowered his eyes: "He must be angry."
Sun Jinlu also advised: "Why bother with this? Just give Master Jiang a position and let him move into the harem with peace of mind. With you and the Empress Dowager protecting him, nothing will happen."
It is naturally easy to confer a position.
With just one imperial decree, she could move into one of the main palaces in the harem, and the empress dowager would be happy to see it happen.
But Fu Yao didn't want her to be his concubine.
He wanted her to marry him with all her heart.
There will be a lot to deal with after he is enthroned, so he needs to prepare early.
But what if we let her go back to Chuxiu Palace?
No, it’s too far from the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
It would be most reassuring to just keep it under his own nose, but the only downside is that Jiang Jiang might be angry because he restricted her personal freedom.
Fu Yao stood outside the side hall door.
I dared not go in.
From inside the hall, one could faintly hear the laughter and chatter of women.
It was obvious that he had chosen the palace maids himself, who were not outstanding in appearance but not too annoying, but he was afraid that they would please her too much.
...After the comparison, would she dislike his silence?
Sun Jinlu was anxious and could only remind him: "Your Majesty, it's almost time for lunch."
Only then did Fu Yao push the door open and walk in.
The laughter in the room seemed to have been paused. The palace maids who had been gathered around Jiang Jiang, some even exceeding the distance between master and servant, scattered like birds and beasts. After paying their respects, they stood quietly on both sides with their heads lowered.
Only Jiang Jiang still had a smile on his face, not a hint of restraint, nor was he angry as Fu Yao had imagined. Instead, he flew into his arms like a light butterfly.
She was not weak, even a little weak.
Even if he rushed over like this, he had no power.
It was like a bolt of lightning that hit his heart, and his whole heart felt full.
"ah."
She suddenly spoke up, looking at him a little embarrassedly, "I am so happy to see Your Majesty that I haven't even bowed yet. Isn't that a bit rude?"
Fu Yao held her waist, and the scene of her bathing and changing clothes yesterday came to his mind, and his face showed some discomfort.
From this perspective, he is the one who is unruly.
Fu Yao pulled her to sit at the table, which was already covered with many dishes. He gestured for her to sit down and said, "There's no need to be formal between you and me."
It was naturally good that there was no need to perform formalities. Jiang Jiang sat down and glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs standing around like furniture. "How about we let them leave first?"
Fu Yao nodded.
Then the people around immediately dispersed.
"Jiang Jiang, do you have something to tell me?"
He thought she sent them away because she had something to say, perhaps asking about their position or when they could leave.
Fu Yao couldn't help but clench the silver chopsticks in his hand with his fingertips. Because he inadvertently increased the strength, they were slightly bent.
