Chapter 33 My beloved concubine is so popular
The game of Beast Fighting Chess was so interesting that everyone forgot the time.
It was already the hour of Xu when Wen Wanyu came out of Fengyi Palace.
When they were only a hundred steps away from Chang Lixuan, Huang Haiquan came trotting over, his face as if he was facing a great enemy, "My lady, you are finally back."
This inevitably made Wen Wanyu serious: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"The Emperor is here!"
"When did you come?" Wen Wanyu asked, quickening his pace.
Huang Haiquan said, "The Emperor has been here for half an hour. Qingdai came in to serve tea and said that the Emperor didn't look well."
Wen Wanyu didn't say anything.
How could it be such an unfortunate coincidence? Every time she went to visit, the emperor would arrive right after.
After waiting for her for half an hour, she still hadn't left. The emperor's patience was really getting better.
He quickly arrived at Changli Pavilion. Li Dexian came forward, his tone almost blaming him: "My dear servant, you are finally back. The Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Wen Wanyu glanced at him, not as warmly as usual. She said lightly, "I understand." Then she went into the house.
The emperor stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. His back was thick and his expression could not be seen.
Without saying a word, he looked back as if he had realized something.
"Your Majesty, your concubine pays respects." Wen Wanyu bent her knees to greet him.
She didn't hear anyone calling her to get up for a long time. She looked up suspiciously and found that the emperor was staring at her expressionlessly.
Wen Wanyu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. She had a bad feeling in her heart.
The emperor still didn't speak.
Wen Wanyu secretly raised her head and glanced at him.
He has a cool temperament, a clear face, and an aloof air that makes him feel distant.
Xie Junyao still didn't say anything.
She knew she was going to sleep with him today, yet she had no idea where to go all day and night. Did she really take his affairs to heart? Adding to the past, Xie Junyao felt even more that she was being perfunctory.
In fact, no one took it seriously at all.
Wen Wanyu's legs were numb, and she helplessly said loudly, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Xie Junyao moved and finally spoke, "I'm not deaf."
"Oh." Even if you hear it, you don't respond. People who don't know you might think you are really deaf.
Wen Wanyu staggered.
She looked at him pleadingly, her voice soft and tender, particularly endearing, and with a hint of coquettishness: "Your Majesty, may I get up now?"
She hadn't realized her mistake since she walked in. She had left him alone for half an hour and still had the nerve to act so aggrieved.
Xie Junyao turned around and sat on the couch, saying to her, "Come here."
Wen Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, and stood in front of him. Before she could say anything, she heard his two extremely cold words:
"Kneel down."
Wen Wanyu was stunned, and then his heart sank.
She was born in such an era that she had no right to choose and no courage to resist.
There's always a bright side to everything. His words, "Kneel down," completely killed the budding thoughts in her mind. She no longer held out any hope.
Just as she was about to kneel down, a broad, big hand stopped her. Wen Wanyu looked up and heard him say:
"No need to kneel. Go stand there as punishment."
Xie Junyao still felt soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see her kneel. The last time Jin Fangyi kicked her in the back of the calf, it had a large bruise. If she were really forced to kneel, it would definitely be like this.
He pointed to the corner: "Go over there."
Following his finger, I saw an empty corner.
Is this a beating? He made her kneel but didn't let her kneel. Wen Wanyu didn't feel touched. She just felt that this behavior was nothing more than a slap in the face and a candy. She replied, "I know."
She slowly moved to the corner and stood facing the wall.
This was the first time in all my life that I was asked to stand in the corner as punishment.
It's embarrassing, so embarrassing.
Xie Junyao took two sips of tea, glanced at the corner, raised his lips imperceptibly, but his voice remained cold and solemn: "I remember asking Li Dexian to tell you that you will sleep with me today."
"Your Majesty, yes, I haven't forgotten." Wen Wanyu whispered to defend herself.
Xie Junyao stood up and swayed behind her, "Do you know what time it is?"
Wen Wanyu lowered his head: "One quarter past ten o'clock."
She was not convinced, and it was not her fault. The Emperor usually came at half past ten. But today he suddenly changed his mind...
"Not convinced?"
"No."
Wen Wanyu thought: When you are about to die in a few decades, I will definitely slap you hard a few times.
The tone clearly showed dissatisfaction.
Xie Junyao's expression darkened slightly. "Wen, have I been too indulgent towards you?"
"say."
Wen Wanyu took a deep breath. Turning around, she gave him a flattering smile, "I know I was wrong."
"I didn't forget that I had to sleep with the emperor tonight. I had planned to come back at this time to prepare, but I didn't expect the emperor to come early." Wen Wanyu said.
Xie Junyao was so angry that he laughed: "Then it's still my fault?"
Wen Wanyu pulled the corner of his clothes and shook it gently twice: "That's not what I meant."
"I've noticed that my beloved concubine is very popular."
Not just every day. Seven out of ten days, Cheng Zhaorong would stick with her. Now there was another queen.
The queen was aloof by nature. Among so many concubines in the harem, only Cheng Zhaorong could talk to her. No one knew how the little girl in front of her made the queen fall in love with her.
"I am indeed likable." Wen Wanyu admitted without any modesty.
Xie Junyao stared at her, the corners of his lips twitching slightly, as if he was laughing: "You are really good at climbing up the ladder."
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I truly admit my mistake and will treat your matter as a top priority from now on. I won't be perfunctory. Please don't be angry with me! You might as well get sick from anger."
Xie Junyao didn't have much anger to begin with, and after being "coaxed" by her like this, he couldn't get angry anymore.
As for what happened just now, it was because of some trivial matters in the court that gave him a headache, so he couldn't help but vent his anger on her.
But he couldn't bow his head.
"Okay." Xie Junyao glanced at her: "No need to stand, come and sit down."

The night was warm and dark, with only a few stars dotting the dark sky.
In the bedroom of Fengyi Palace, the Queen looked at the birthday gift with a complicated expression in her eyes: "Madame Li."
"I'm here. What's wrong with the queen? Are you unhappy on your birthday today?" asked Nanny Li worriedly.
"Do you think I've gone too far?"
The birthday gift that Lady Wen sent was clearly carefully prepared and chosen, and it touched her heart.
"Your Highness, in this harem, only those who benefit themselves can go far. This is a perfectly normal thing. You don't have to feel guilty. Besides, you haven't done anything to hurt Lady Wen."
The Queen shook her head: "But I have deceived Lady Wen's sincerity."
"If she knew that I had some kind of self-interest..." She had been betrayed before, so she didn't want to deceive others.
"Your Majesty, don't think too much. Lady Wen may never know in her lifetime."
The queen boasted that she was the person who knew the emperor best in the entire harem, and even in the world. She knew whether the emperor liked a woman or disliked a woman without him having to say it explicitly.
Wen Meiren is the best candidate.
