Chapter 266: Your Highness, Throw It Away~ The Queen Gets Angry and Wants to Beat the Dog Emperor
The embroidery pattern is a smiley face, which is slightly different from the small face on last year's sachet. This smiley face is obviously more pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Jinyan suddenly remembered that this was the same smiling face that was at the end of Shen Chuwei’s signature when she made a wish last year.
After a year, Shen Chuwei's needlework has not improved much. Her stitches are rough and not dense, and she occasionally skips stitches.
You can tell at first glance that he is a beginner.
Shen Chuwei came over and reminded, "Jinyan, take out the old sachet and compare it."
Only by highlighting the advantages of the new sachet can you show the uselessness of the old one and then throw it away!
Xiao Jinyan raised her head and asked, "How did you know that I carry the sachet with me?"
Shen Chuwei blinked her beautiful eyes twice with guilt, "...I guessed."
Xiao Jinyan did not comment.
He took out the sachet from last year and placed it in front of the new one. Although the old sachet had been used for a year, it still looked like new.
In contrast, the smile on the new sachet is not only pleasing to the eye, but also a bit mischievous.
Shen Chu raised his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Jinyan, isn't this sachet much better looking than the one last year?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Yeah."
Shen Chuwei chuckled in his heart, his smug look evident on his face.
But the next second, Xiao Jinyan stacked the two sachets together and placed them next to the pillow.
It was totally different from what she had imagined.
Shen Chuwei kindly reminded, "Jinyan, don't throw away the old sachet."
Xiao Jinyan asked back: "Why throw it away?"
Shen Chuwei said: "Since we have a new sachet, why do we need the old one?"
Xiao Jinyan only uttered two words, "Wearing it."
Shen Chuwei: “…” Then wouldn’t her new sachet be embroidered in white?
It's not an amulet, it won't save your life even if you carry it with you!
Shen Chuwei fell asleep feeling depressed.
When Xiao Jinyan left in the morning, he took away two sachets.
On the waistband, there is a piece of white jade tied with a black ribbon in the shape of a Qilin, which is round and translucent. The new sachet is tied to the jade Qilin together.
The other one was put into his sleeve pocket.
Shen Chuwei had just finished breakfast when the Empress arrived.
The Empress is in charge of the three palaces and six courtyards. She has a lot of daily chores to deal with and rarely sets foot in the East Palace. She must have something to do when she came today.
Chunxi hurried in to remind Shen Chuwei to take the car.
When the queen came in, she saw Shen Chuwei half-kneeling. She waved her hand for her to stand up, then walked over to the couch and sat down.
My eyes were quickly attracted by the lotus flowers on the low table.
The Queen looked sideways and found that this was the twin lotus flowers that Xueyan had mentioned yesterday.
I didn't expect it to be a double-colored lotus, a rare wonder in a thousand years, and Shen Chuwei picked it just like that~
Shen Chuwei stood up and waited on the side.
The queen had looked enough and turned her gaze to Shen Chuwei, "Did you pick this lotus with two stems?"
Shen Chu replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I picked them myself."
Upon hearing this, the Queen's voice deepened: "You are quite courageous. You dared to pick the double-colored lotus with two stems."
Shen Chu lowered her eyebrows and nodded, "I was greedy at the moment and didn't think too much about it."
The Queen looked at the twin lotuses, smeared her fingers with red kohlrabi, and stroked the purple petals. "You are indeed a little greedy. You want to take possession of the prince's twin lotuses for yourself."
Shen Chuwei said nothing.
"I know that the prince likes you and dotes on you, but he is the prince and the future heir apparent. The most important thing for him is not the love affairs of his children, but the country and the people. Do you understand?" The queen looked from the lotus to Shen Chuwei.
Shen Chuwei said: "I am a little woman, far inferior to the empress, and I don't understand so many great principles."
The queen laughed instead of getting angry when she heard this: "If you don't reach my position, you won't understand the meaning of this sentence. You are someone who dares to speak the truth."
Shen Chuwei bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The queen was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. This child...
Shen Chu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the queen, but did not dare to ask.
Chunxi came in and offered tea with both hands.
The queen took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely: "Princess Xueyan came to Daxia for marriage. You should have heard that Xueyan is the legitimate princess of Xueyue Kingdom and came to Daxia with a rich dowry. Although Daxia won over Xueyue this time, it did not gain any advantage, but suffered heavy losses instead."
"Two days ago, I also asked Princess Xueyan what she thought. She has taken a liking to the Crown Prince. I and the Emperor are also happy to see this happen. We have asked Lord Lu to observe the stars at night and choose an auspicious time."
After the queen finished speaking, she looked up at Shen Chuwei and said, "I came here today to tell you that even if Princess Xueyan doesn't enter the East Palace, there will be other women in the future."
In the past two days, the Queen chatted with Princess Xueyan for a long time.
The twin lotuses were picked by Shen Chuwei, and Princess Xueyan accidentally let it slip.
The queen drank a cup of tea and went back.
Before leaving, he patted Shen Chuwei on the shoulder and said, "After a few years, you will get used to it."
When passing through the Yu Garden, he saw the Emperor and Concubine Ning strolling around the garden.
Concubine Ning's belly was already seven or eight months old. Doctor Yu diagnosed the baby and said it was a little prince, and the emperor was very happy.
Qingying reminded: "The green cards for the newly selected girls have been customized."
There were four newly selected beauties, all of them were beautiful and about fifteen or sixteen years old.
The queen couldn't help but curse inwardly, "The dog emperor is an old cow eating young grass!"
That night, Eunuch Hai from the Jingshifang brought the green card and asked the emperor to flip it.
The emperor just looked at the pile of memorials that needed to be reviewed, and then looked at the pile of green cards, and waved his hand, "Tonight, go to the harem."
"Yes." Eunuch Hai retreated with the green card in his hand.
The emperor looked at the pile of memorials in front of him, pointed at one that had not been touched, and ordered, "Send these to the East Palace. It's time for the crown prince to learn."
"I obey your command." Eunuch Li came over, picked up the pile of unreviewed memorials, and went to the East Palace.
After the emperor finished reading the memorial in his hand, he stretched his body and went to Fengyi Palace.
After taking a bath, the queen planned to go to bed early, but then she received news that the emperor was going to stay overnight at Fengyi Palace.
What on earth does the Dog Emperor mean by this?
The queen had no intention of waiting for the emperor, so she threw off the quilt and lay down.
She thought the emperor would review memorials until late at night, but just a quarter of an hour after she lay down, before she fell asleep, the dog emperor came.
The queen simply pretended to be asleep.
When the emperor saw that the empress had gone to bed, he asked someone to help him undress.
After everyone had left, the emperor sat at the head of the bed and looked at the empress carefully by the light of a candle. His slender fingers stroked that beautiful face and his gaze fell on the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast, you even have crow's feet at the corners of your eyes."
When the queen heard it, she couldn't help but curse, "You dog emperor, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Do you think you are still young?
It's really like talking about something that is not worth mentioning!
The emperor added: "It is very different from when I was fifteen."
The queen resisted the urge to jump up and hit someone.
Aren't the girls who were selected just fifteen years old?
Get out of here! !
If it were a 15 or 16-year-old queen, she would have turned around and beaten the man long ago.
