Chapter 745: Playing the Lute to a Cow
Rong Zhixiao sat down next to Shen Hanqing and said with a very innocent look, "I wonder if my beloved concubine needs to rest?"
Shen Hanqing looked at him, "Are you in a hurry? Do you need me to help you turn the cards?"
Rong Zhixiao was shocked. "My beloved concubine, what are you talking about? Apart from my beloved concubine, I won't turn over anyone else's sign."
Shen Hanqing couldn’t stand it anymore, “If you say disgusting words again, I’ll beat you up.”
Rong Zhixiao's eyes flickered slightly, "I am the ruler of a country!"
Shen Hanqing, “Oh.”
Rong Zhixiao sighed, "My beloved concubine is like this, I really feel a little embarrassed. After all, I am the emperor."
Shen Hanqing raised an eyebrow, "Want face? Go find another concubine, no matter how much face you want, they will give it to you."
Rong Zhixiao looked at Shen Hanqing affectionately, "I only want my beloved concubine. It won't work if it's not you."
Rong Zhixiao was in a trance for a moment when he said this. He couldn't tell for a moment whether he was lying to Shen Hanqing or he really wanted to say that.
Rong Zhixiao stood up suddenly, but his expression was still somewhat flawless.
He pretended to be hurt and said, "It seems that my beloved concubine does not welcome me. I'd better go back and guard the dragon bed alone."
Shen Hanqing didn't move at all, "Goodbye."
After Rong Zhixiao left Shen Hanqing, he put away the expression on his face.
He silently repeated Shen Hanqing’s name.
It always feels familiar.
Even every time I see Shen Hanqing, I have a strange feeling.
His tolerance for Shen Hanqing also seemed to be surprisingly high.
However, people are already in the palace, so there is plenty of time to find out what is going on, right?
The next day, as soon as Shen Hanqing woke up, countless palace maids filed in, ready to wash Shen Hanqing.
Shen Hanqing also let the palace maids manipulate her.
While getting dressed, Shen Hanqing frowned at the plain white clothes.
The material must be excellent, but Shen Hanqing rarely wears plain white clothes.
Shen Hanqing said: “Change into other clothes.”
The head maid replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, this was chosen by His Majesty himself, and he said it suits you very well."
Shen Hanqing's brows furrowed even deeper. What was Rong Zhixiao up to again?
333 said, "That's right. There's a saying that goes, 'A woman should look pretty in mourning clothes.'"
Shen Hanqing said without hesitation: "Change!"
The eldest palace maid was a little embarrassed. Shen Hanqing glanced at her and said, "Go and send a message to the emperor and ask him who is gone and wants me to wear such plain clothes."
After these words were spoken, the senior palace maid felt even more embarrassed. Who would dare to say such a thing?
Shen Hanqing endured it and gave in again. After all, a palace maid couldn't make any decisions. "Then go tell the emperor that I want to see him."
This time the head maid agreed quickly.
After a while, the maid came back and tried to calm herself down and told Shen Hanqing, "His Majesty said that it was the Queen who drove His Majesty away last night, and today she wants His Majesty to come again. How can it be so easy? He comes when she asks him to come, and leaves when she asks him to leave. Whatever happens, the Queen should go and apologize."
Chen Hanqing's head was throbbing with pain. What was wrong? It didn't matter whether she loved him or not.
She got up and looked for other clothes.
It was lake blue, with wide, flowing sleeves, a cinched waist, and a brocade waistband.
The indigo gauze skirt is embroidered with some flowers, which sparkles.
The fog-like texture, as if shrouded in the blue waves, makes Shen Hanqing look even more cold and clear.
The senior palace maid didn't dare to speak at all, and could only ask tentatively: "Your Majesty, are you going to see the Emperor?"
Shen Hanqing said directly: “No.”
The senior palace maid was very nervous, "Then this dress..."
Shen Hanqing replied: “The emperor will not blame you.”
He was just torturing himself on purpose.
After hearing what Shen Hanqing said, the senior palace maid could only leave it to fate.
This lady seems to be a difficult one to serve.
She was afraid that her head would move away one day.
The senior palace maid asked again, "Your Majesty, would you like to take a walk in the Imperial Garden?"
Shen Hanqing glanced at the head palace maid, and it was obvious that this was also someone else's instruction for her to ask.
So she said, "What's there to see in the Imperial Garden?"
The senior palace maid tried her best to describe what exotic flowers and plants there were in the imperial garden.
The big maid was so thirsty from describing it that Shen Hanqing said, “Then let’s go and take a look.”
This made the senior palace maid feel relieved.
Shen Hanqing just went to the Imperial Garden, and the palaces had already received the news.
So when Shen Hanqing arrived at the Imperial Garden, many palace concubines were already there.
At this moment, I was thinking about how to strike up a conversation with Shen Hanqing.
Whether it was out of goodwill or hostility is unclear.
Many people were ready to make a move when Rong Zhixiao appeared.
He saw Shen Hanqing's face full of surprise, "My beloved concubine, are you here to see me? Since my beloved concubine has taken the initiative, I will accept your apology."
The corners of Shen Hanqing's mouth twitched slightly. So it was her who didn't go, and Rong Zhixiao was giving herself a way out?
She said without giving any face: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I just came to the Imperial Garden to take a look. I heard that the flowers were blooming beautifully, and then I happened to meet Your Majesty."
Rong Zhixiao, "Ah, I know that my beloved concubine has me in her heart. Why don't we go to the Imperial Garden together?"
Shen Hanqing seemed to be playing the lute to a cow.
She met Rong Zhixiao's gaze, and even though she knew that Rong Zhixiao was pretending, Shen Hanqing still did not refuse.
Shen Hanqing wanted to see what tricks Rong Zhixiao could come up with.
Because of Rong Zhixiao, the other concubines became cautious and no one wanted to be the first to stand out.
So when I first walked around the Imperial Garden, everything was pretty normal. I just looked at the flowers and plants and there was nothing unusual.
Halfway through this, someone came to tell Rong Zhixiao that Prince Chen had entered the palace.
Rong Zhixiao then said with some regret: "I have something to do and cannot accompany my beloved concubine. If my beloved concubine is lonely..."
Before Rong Zhixiao could finish his words, Shen Hanqing said, “I’m not alone.”
As luck would have it, a concubine came forward and said, "Your Majesty, how about I accompany Concubine Shen for a walk?"
This concubine seems to be of high rank, and she is wearing many expensive jewelries.
Rong Zhixiao took a look and said, "It turns out to be..."
He glanced at the eunuch beside him, who quickly reminded him, "Shufei."
Rong Zhixiao then calmly said, "So it's Concubine Shu. That's fine too. Then please, Concubine Shu, accompany my beloved concubine."
Shufei's expression turned ugly for a moment. It would be extremely embarrassing for any concubine if the emperor forgot about her title.
But Concubine Shu did not show it very obviously, but said very considerately: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will accompany Concubine Shen well."
Then Rong Zhixiao acted reluctant to leave before leaving.
As soon as Rong Zhixiao left, the smile on Concubine Shu's face faded, "Lady Shen Fei was once the concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"
Shen Hanqing replied indifferently: “Yeah.”
Concubine Shu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your Majesty is really the same as always. He will bring people back on a whim."
"It's just that your Majesty's interest only lasts for a short time."
