Chapter 84 Coaxing Her
Night falls.
Shen Yuning sat quietly on the couch, her figure graceful, like a quiet painting.
On the octagonal rosewood table inlaid with marble, there are needlework and flickering candlelight. The light and shadow dance on her face, adding a touch of tenderness.
Quan Minghe came quietly, and the moment he stepped into the palace, he saw her embroidering something attentively.
"What are you embroidering?"
Kwon Myung Hyuk asked softly, breaking the silence in the room.
Shen Yuning was so absorbed in embroidering that she was slightly startled when she heard his voice and then looked up.
Her eyes are like water, with rippling light and agility.
She put the half-embroidered sachet into the sewing basket on the table.
She stood up slowly and bowed to Quan Minghe.
Kwon Myung-hyuk strode to the other side, sat down casually, and rested his hands lazily on the table.
His legs were placed directly on the couch without any restraint, fully demonstrating the emperor's casualness and majesty.
He reached out and took out the sachet, examining it carefully.
The emperors and concubines in the palace had embroidered all kinds of exquisite objects for him in order to please him. In comparison, her embroidery skills were indeed a bit rough.
However, seeing how attentive she was, he still felt warm at heart.
Before she entered the palace, Kwon Myung-hyuk had visited the harem only a handful of times in a month.
Not to mention entering the harem for two or three days in a row.
Originally, Quan Minghe had no intention of entering the harem today.
But his mind couldn't help but emerge the image of her fluttering eyelashes when he left yesterday.
A moment of weakness made his heart tighten.
She was still young, and Quan Minghe couldn't bear to see her sad just after entering the palace.
I might as well go to Yaohua Palace again tonight to prevent her from worrying too much.
After looking at the sachet, Quan Minghe put it back into the basket and looked up at her.
I saw her standing quietly by the side, with her head slightly lowered, her red lips pursed, and she said nothing.
Her well-behaved appearance makes her endearing.
"come over."
Shen Yuning walked up to him.
"Lie on me."
Kwon Myung Hyuk's words were brief and direct.
Shen Yuning sat down beside him as he said, gently resting her head on the root of his legs, feeling the warmth coming from his body.
The scent of ambergris wafted into my face.
But she still didn't speak.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the house was quiet and eerie.
"Among the items I sent today, are there any you like?"
Quan Minghe stroked Shen Yuning's jade-like cheek with his slender fingers and asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty's gift, I love it."
Shen Yuning lowered her eyes and responded softly.
He looks as well-behaved as a docile lamb.
Quan Minghe's expression did not change, and he continued to ask: "Then what did I give you?"
How would Shen Yuning know?
Lan Ying had never even looked at the rewards since they were put into her warehouse.
Shen Yuning bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
When Quan Minghe saw her like this, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.
"Are you still angry about me leaving last night?"
His voice suddenly became colder.
Before she entered the palace, Quan Minghe was afraid that she would become arrogant because of her favor, so he tested her many times and gave her secret advice.
I just hope she can understand that now that she has entered the palace, she should leave those girlish wishes outside the palace.
He would naturally pamper her and protect her.
Shen Yuning was frightened by his sudden cold tone.
She hurriedly got up from him, knelt beside him, and lowered her head slightly, like a child who had made a mistake.
"I dare not. Your Majesty has given me many rewards, all of which have been stored in the treasury. I have not had time to see them yet."
"But no matter what it is, I will like it."
Her eyes were slightly red.
Quan Minghe frowned.
He came here tonight because he didn't want to see her sad.
But the slightly harsh tone just now made people feel so aggrieved that their eyes turned red.
A trace of regret suddenly welled up in my heart.
For some reason, Quan Minghe particularly liked to see her without any makeup, about to cry but not crying, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
Obviously, the face doesn't look alike at all, and is even very different, but why is the expression so similar?
Quan Minghe unconsciously stroked her cold face with the back of his hand.
Shen Yuning trembled slightly.
She actually shrank her face and moved away from Kwon Myung Hyuk's touch.
Kwon Myung-hyuk's eyes became increasingly complex and profound, like the night sky shrouded in fog.
He reached out and took the delicate body into his arms.
She lay in Kwon Myung-hyuk's arms, and tears seemed to hang on her long eyelashes.
He raised his eyes and looked straight at Quan Minghe, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
"I will not do this again in the future. Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
"What will happen?"
Kwon Myung-hyuk stared down at her with an unreadable look in his eyes.
"Now that I have entered the palace and become the Emperor's concubine, I will no longer feel jealous or dissatisfied because of Your Majesty's favoritism towards other concubines."
Shen Yuning's voice became increasingly low, but every word was clear.
"I will not secretly resent the fact that Your Majesty is not with me. Your Majesty is the emperor, so you are free to do as you please. When Your Majesty left last night, I should have seen you off respectfully instead of going to bed angry."
"It was I who was ignorant. I will study hard in the future and will never make the same mistake again. Your Majesty, please don't be angry, okay?"
Quan Minghe pursed his lips and remained silent for a while.
He suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart, as if something was slowly fermenting in his heart, blocking his chest and making it feel stuffy.
But aren't these exactly what he expected?
A well-behaved, sensible, and well-educated imperial concubine will not become spoiled and willful because of his favor, and will be able to behave herself in the deep palace.
"Well, I am very happy that Xixi is so well-behaved."
"You are the only one I love the most in the harem. There is no need to be jealous of others."
Quan Minghe's voice became much gentler, and seemed to carry a soothing power.
After saying this, he was slightly stunned.
He never coaxed women, but today he made an exception for her.
Ever since he witnessed her crying so heartbrokenly for Feng Moheng, he no longer liked seeing her cry, as if those tears would burn his heart.
As Quan Minghe's voice softened, Shen Yuning's tense heartstrings seemed to relax quietly.
She hugged Quan Minghe and curled her whole body into his arms.
"Your Majesty is very fierce today."
Her voice was filled with a hint of coquettishness and grievance.
Quan Minghe picked her up and strode away from the couch.
fierce?
She probably had never seen what he looked like when he was really angry.
Quan Minghe carried her into the bedroom.
If he likes someone, he will always give him/her enough love.
As long as she is not too spoiled, Quan Minghe is willing to cover all her actions.
Quan Minghe doesn't want her to change, because the current her always gives him a different kind of excitement.
