"I cannot bear your kneeling tribute. If you can talk about Concubine Han behind her back now, you can talk about me behind my back in the future. What if I accept your tribute and you curse me as a tyrant behind my back in the future? What shall I do then?"
Shen Changzai swallowed hard, her face looking like she was about to cry: "Your Majesty, I just spoke without thinking at the moment, I didn't mean it that way, Your Majesty."
"You're talking without thinking? What a mouthful of words! If you can't control your mouth, why not cut off your tongue?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty. I will never dare to do it again." She cried and kowtowed on the ground, and wanted to reach out to pull the corner of Shen Xiaohan's clothes.
"In that case, does Shen Changzai accept the punishment?"
"I accept the punishment, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"Look at what you said." A smile broke out on his face.
He is usually serious and everything seems to be done according to procedure, as if nothing can make him smile.
Now when he smiled, the fierce look on his face faded, his eyebrows curved, his eyes full of affection, and he looked more like a handsome and elegant young man.
Many people present saw him smile for the first time and were stunned for a moment.
Shen Changzai thought he was no longer angry, so she burst into laughter and said, "I'm glad Your Majesty doesn't blame me."
She said that with her beauty, His Majesty would be soft-hearted no matter what. And so, His Majesty was soft-hearted and would definitely not punish her again.
It seems that Concubine Han's methods are not that good, and His Majesty forgave her so easily.
If she could get pregnant with an heir to the throne in the future, wouldn't it be possible for her to become the queen?
Thinking of this, she felt happy.
If that day ever comes, he will definitely trample Lupin under his feet and make her look down on others again.
Shen Xiaohan suppressed his smile and replaced it with a fake one: "Who said I didn't blame you?"
"Ah?" Shen Changzai was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe his ears.
"I hereby declare that Shen has committed insubordination and offended a high-ranking concubine. From today on, she will be demoted to the rank of Changing Clothes and confined to her house for three months."
"yes."
Shen Changzai, no, Shen Gengyi, couldn't accept the fact. She fell straight to the ground, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Carry him away and send him back to the palace."
"yes."
"Everyone, let's have dinner."
The concubines who had been looking forward to Shen Xiaohan's arrival now found it difficult to swallow their food.
I’m really impressed. After all this trouble, who can still eat it?
Concubine Shu said in a low voice: "Isn't he not coming? I don't want him to come, it's so boring."
Concubine Ning: "It's okay, just wait a little longer, he will be gone soon, I will take you riding tomorrow."
"good."
She didn't know if it was Concubine Shu's illusion, but she always felt that Shen Xiaohan's eyes glanced at her vaguely.
Shen Xiaohan seemed to see their discomfort, picked up a glass of wine, said some nice words, ate a few bites of food casually and left.
Really, if Wanwan hadn't begged him, he wouldn't have come.
After seeing off the giant Buddha, the concubines happily finished their meal and sat at a table playing mahjong.
Concubine Shu has bad luck and always loses.
Concubine Ning was completely different from her. Her luck was incredibly good. She won every time and never lost.
"Sister, I lost all my money."
"It's okay. I'll help you win back whatever money you're short of."
.......
When Shen Xiaohan returned to his residence with Tang Wan, Tang Wan was already asleep.
He was afraid of waking her up, so he asked in a low voice, "Is she ready for dinner?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I just drank a bowl of millet porridge before going to bed."
"That's fine, as long as you can eat."
He stroked her delicate, pointed face, which was not even as big as his palm.
He reached out and touched the end of the bed, and as expected, it was cold.
He sighed slightly, reached out and held her feet, which were indeed as cold as ice.
Although it was summer, her feet were so cold that it was frightening.
"Remove a few basins of ice from the hall." At this time of year, catching a cold would be extremely uncomfortable.
"yes."
He turned over on the bed, kissed her forehead, and held her in his arms.
She doesn't look very fleshy, but she feels soft when you hold her in your arms, and her skin is delicate and smooth.
Like fine silk.
He couldn't let go of it for a long time and fell asleep in a happy mood.
The next day, when Tang Wan woke up, Shen Xiaohan had finished his official duties and went to the stables to ride a horse.
She was wearing a turquoise skirt today, which covered up her belly, which was not very bulging to begin with.
This green color suits her very well. If ordinary people with slightly darker skin wear this color, they will look earthy and ugly.
But her skin was as smooth as the finest mutton-fat jade, white, translucent, and so delicate that it seemed as if it could be blown away. This dress only made her look even whiter.
She wore an emerald hairpin, simple yet elegant.
She was only wearing a jade bracelet that was entirely emerald green. Although simple, it was very valuable.
She put on her veil and went out with the help of her maid.
She saw Shen Xiaohan on the horse farm. He looked like a man born to be on horseback.
The horse almost merged with him. Under his control, the man and the horse looked heroic, and many people around them stared at them in amazement.
Shen Xiaohan is indeed handsome. Now that he has a sweetheart, his temperament has become softer. He is no longer as aloof as before.
There is also a strong evil spirit.
Now, under Tang Wan's influence, his temper has gradually become a little milder.
Shen Xiaohan saw her from a distance. She stood there obediently waiting for him. He felt warm in his heart, and he didn't know if it was because of the sun.
Anyway, it was hot and burning, and my heart felt like it was filled with something.
The clothes she wore today were very pretty, like a little green lotus, tender and beautiful.
He dismounted and walked over. Considering that there were outsiders present, he took her hand and said, "It's very sunny now. Why did you come out?"
"I......"
Tang Wan thought for a moment and replied with a smile, "I just missed you a little, so I came to see you."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Shen Xiaohan's handsome face, which was already red from the sun, became even redder. He didn't wear a crown today, but just tied it into a high ponytail.
Looking at it this way, he looks a lot younger, like a young man who has been teased by his sweetheart and blushed.
He touched his neck sheepishly, took her hand and walked forward: "I'll take you riding."
"Don't worry, I've asked the doctor. The terrain here is flat. I'll go slower. It won't hurt the baby in my belly."
"Well, I've never ridden a horse before."
Shen Xiaohan's eyes suddenly lit up. He led her to the side of the horse, lifted her up with one hand, then climbed onto the horse and shouted, "Gee!"
She was trapped in his arms, her thin back pressed against his hot chest, making her face feel a little hot.
"Your Majesty, go slower."
As expected, Shen Xiaohan was slow and obedient.
