The furnishings in the temporary palace are not much different from those in the palace, both of which look magnificent.
Tang Wan felt a little dizzy in the carriage. She felt dizzy and nauseous.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaohan went down first. When Tang Wan came out, Shen Xiaohan opened his arms, as if he wanted to catch her.
Tang Wan was originally going to refuse, but her feet accidentally slipped, and she suddenly fell weakly into Shen Xiaohan's arms. From a distance, it seemed as if her whole body was embedded in his arms.
"Sister Lupin, just look at her coquettish look, you can tell she is trying to seduce His Majesty."
Shen Changzai was indignant and couldn't stand Tang Wan at all.
"Your Majesty is free to choose whether to favor Concubine Han or someone else. Besides, Concubine Han is a high-ranking official. What qualifications do you, a concubine, have to discuss the position of the head of a palace?"
Concubine Lu no longer looked at her expression and let the senior palace maid hold her hand as she walked away.
After Lupin walked away, Shen Changzai stamped her feet and said, "Why are you so arrogant? She's just a concubine. You've been in the palace for so many years, and you're not ashamed to be outshined by a newcomer."
Her personal maid, Hanlu, echoed her, "That's right, our queen is more suitable for a high position. Unlike her, she is timid and cowardly."
"Never mind. Concubine Lu comes from a poor family, so it's normal for her to be short-sighted. Unlike me, my father is a third-rank official."
"Your Majesty is right. With your status and beauty, you will gain His Majesty's favor sooner or later."
Speaking of this, Shen Changzai was very angry: "I don't know what kind of magic potion Tang Wan gave to His Majesty. His Majesty never summoned me again."
"Hanlu, although she, like Concubine Lu, comes from a humble background, she has a face that even I feel ashamed of, and yet she is so favored by His Majesty. I really don't know what to do."
"My Lady, no matter how delicious a dish is, there will come a day when you get tired of it. Even if you're used to eating big fish and meat, you still need some side dishes to relieve the greasiness, right?"
"That's right. I don't believe that she can hold His Majesty's heart for the rest of her life." If that were the case, then even if she had the ability, at worst, she would ask her father to beg His Majesty to release her from the palace.
.......
"Still feeling uncomfortable?"
Shen Xiaohan rubbed her temples, his face showing worry.
Tang Wan's face was pale, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her hands were placed on her chest. She looked like a sick Xi Shi.
"I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable. If you're hungry, Your Majesty, please go and have dinner with your sisters first."
"How can this be? You're pregnant, you should eat something."
"No, Your Majesty, please don't starve yourself. If I get hungry later, I can ask the kitchen to cook."
"If you don't want to eat, then I won't eat either." He turned his head away angrily, crossed his arms, but his eyes were still secretly glancing at her.
"Then your majesty, please go hungry."
“......?”
What a heartless person.
Shen Xiaohan felt a little annoyed when he saw her falling asleep without hesitation, but when he saw her gentle and peaceful sleeping face, he couldn't get angry at all.
He tucked the quilt for her and went to read at the desk.
When Hengan came in to make the announcement, he received a glare before he even opened his mouth.
He looked at the bulging ball in the imperial tent and understood what was going on. He then whispered, "Your Majesty, the ladies are all waiting for you to have dinner."
"Don't tell them to wait. Just eat if you're hungry. There's no need to be so formal here."
"This... Your Majesty, this is probably against etiquette."
"What's against etiquette? I'm not a bowl or chopstick. Can't I eat without me?"
Heng'an was impressed by him. He didn't know why such a rational person became so stupid after meeting Concubine Han.
As the one in power, if you don't even go to eat, isn't that a slap in the face of those queens?
Alas, when he goes to pass the message, he will be the one to suffer.
"Why is my life so miserable..."
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything. I said, 'I'll pass it on right away.'"
"Well, go ahead and remember to explain yourself."
"I understand."
...........
"My ladies, this is the current situation. Your Majesty is feeling unwell, so he will not be dining."
Shen Changzai frowned: "Eunuch Heng'an, where is Concubine Han? Why didn't she come?"
"Um... Noble Concubine Han is not here because she is taking care of His Majesty and cannot be away. Please forgive me, ladies and gentlemen, and have your meal first."
Concubine Shu nodded kindly: "Okay, I understand. Eunuch Heng'an, take care."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
"Since His Majesty is unwell, sisters, let us begin the feast."
"Yes." There was a response from below.
Shen Changzai rolled his eyes silently and said sarcastically: "I don't know if it's your Majesty who is unwell, or if it's someone else who is unwell."
"Why do you say that, Sister Shen?" The speaker was a concubine whose presence was not very high. She was like a transparent person in the harem. She sat next to Shen Changzai and asked in a low voice.
Seeing her asking, Shen Changzai was as if she had found a like-minded person, and her voice was slightly excited: "Your Majesty is in good health. It's just a carriage, and it won't make him uncomfortable. As for who is sick, you don't need to guess."
"That noble concubine Han is really arrogant because of her favor." The concubine's voice was even lower, and only the two of them could hear it.
Shen Changzai has always been a loudmouth. When someone echoed her point of view, her voice became even louder: "That's right, isn't it? You just rely on your ability to seduce people. You are just a princess of a small country, but you really think you are a dish."
“Of course I am not as good as Sister Shen. In this harem, how many people can compare to Sister Shen?”
"That's right. My father is a third-rank official. He's not comparable to a vixen of lowly origin."
"That's enough, Concubine Shen, be careful with your words." Concubine Shu shouted in a low voice, with a hint of anger on her face.
This Chen Changzai is such an idiot. He doesn't even know that he's being used as a gun.
Shen Changzai's face turned pale, but remembering that Shen Xiaohan was not here, she did not take Shufei seriously.
So she let herself go: "Madam Shufei, I am not wrong. That noble concubine Han is a witch who brings disaster to the country."
"It seems that Shen Changzai has her own opinions."
A low voice came from outside the door, revealing a chilling chill.
Shen Changzai's face immediately turned pale, and the bowl and chopsticks in his hands fell to the ground with a clang.
"Your Majesty." A large group of people knelt down below, and then she seemed to remember something and knelt down as well: "Your Majesty, your concubine pays homage."
Shen Xiaohan was wearing bright clothes today. Because he hadn't been to the war for some time, his skin had become a little whiter. He looked not as scary as before.
However, they still felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, which was even worse than before and made them feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
