Chapter 383: The conditions for returning to the palace, the emperor was rejected by Susu
Shen Chu was sleeping soundly, and she felt someone was nudging her in front of her. The feeling was very familiar.
As she fell asleep, she thought it was still last night when Xiao Jinyan was tormenting her.
She snorted, "Jinyan, stop it..."
Humming like a kitten, Xiao Jinyan looked down at his daughter who was eating hard, and he couldn't help laughing.
Shen Chuwei saw that Xiao Jinyan ignored her and was still doing it. She forced herself to open her eyes and saw a handsome face staring at her. She was stunned for a moment.
He then realized something was wrong, looked down, and saw his daughter.
It turned out to be a daughter. She just thought it was Xiao Jinyan~
Shen Chuwei glared at Xiao Jinyan, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Xiao Jinyan suppressed his laughter and said, "I saw that you were sleeping soundly and couldn't bear to wake you up."
Shen Chuwei's face turned red when she thought of what she had just said in a daze.
After Susu had eaten her fill, she turned over, grabbed Xiao Jinyan's hair with her little hand, and grabbed Shen Chuwei's hair with the other hand. After eating and drinking her fill, Susu smiled very happily.
Shen Chuwei saw it and laughed, "Susu really likes to laugh."
Xiao Jinyan lifted her chin with his slender fingers and kissed her lips, "Susu is very much like you."
Shen Chuwei felt that there was nothing wrong with herself, she could eat and drink for free and had no worries.
The next morning
It is said that quarrels at the head of the bed are reconciled at the foot of the bed. Not only did the queen not give him free clothes, she also ignored him.
The emperor was angry all night. After getting dressed, he looked at the empress sitting in front of the dressing table. Unlike the clothes in the palace, her clothes were simple and elegant, and even more gorgeous than the phoenix robe and phoenix crown.
"Come back to the palace with me now."
The Queen turned and looked at the Dog Emperor. After a night of settling down, neither of them was as angry as they were yesterday.
"Your Majesty, don't you believe me?"
The emperor took a deep breath and said slowly: "As long as you say no, I will believe it."
"Your Majesty still doesn't believe me." The Queen retracted her gaze and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Even if she took good care of herself, she was already a grandmother.
"Your Majesty, when we first met, you knew that I was General Chang's legitimate daughter, right?"
The emperor was stunned when he heard this. It was not until the queen raised her head and looked at him again that he said, "We are already an old couple. Why do you think of asking this question?"
"Is it or isn't it?" the queen pressed, trying to get a definite answer.
The emperor stared at the queen for a long time and finally nodded.
"I understand." The Queen retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes to look at the plum blossom hairpin in her hand, which had fallen from the Emperor's arms last night.
It turned out that she was just being too sentimental again.
There is no such thing as love at first sight; it's just a long-planned conspiracy.
It seems a bit ridiculous when I think about it.
The emperor looked at the queen's indifferent eyes, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes: "What do you understand?"
“I understand how difficult it was for the emperor in his past.” The queen opened the box, put the plum blossom hairpin in it, and then locked it.
The emperor was stunned when he heard this.
The queen opened the drawer, put the box in it, and locked it.
After finishing all this, she slowly stood up and looked at Xiao Qi, "I am willing to go back to the palace with the emperor, but I have conditions."
The emperor asked: "What conditions? As long as you return to the palace obediently, I will agree to anything you ask for."
The Queen paused and said, "Appoint Shen Liangdi as the Crown Princess. I know the Emperor has a way to shut up those censors."
She left the palace because she couldn't stand the dog emperor's consistent behavior.
She thought Shen Liangdi was a good person and it would be a good idea for her to be the Crown Princess, and her grandchildren would also be the eldest sons and daughters.
At least it's better than her. She's not being used as a pawn by others because of her mother's family's power.
The emperor did not expect the empress to bring up this matter. He had thought about this issue before he found the empress.
He agreed readily, "I agree to your request."
After resolving this matter, the queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Chu was worried about the empress, so she came to see her early in the morning with Susu in her arms, and saw the emperor and the empress walking out of the chamber.
She stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty and Empress, may you be blessed with good health and longevity."
The emperor hadn't seen the two babies for two months. When he saw Shen Liangdi coming over with the baby in her arms, he guessed it was Susu as soon as he saw the baby's pink clothes.
He took a few steps forward and said, "Let me hug Susu."
The emperor wanted to hug her, so Shen Chuwei dared not refuse and let the emperor take Susu away from his arms.
When I first held her in my arms, I didn’t feel that Susu was noticeably heavier than she was two months ago.
She has grown a little and is cuter than she was two months ago.
She was smiling just now, but when she saw the emperor, she suddenly burst into tears, and cried very sadly.
The emperor coaxed her tenderly with a distressed voice, "Susu, be good, don't cry, the emperor is holding you."
"Susu hasn't seen the emperor for two months and she is shy." The queen said as she took Susu from the emperor's arms.
The emperor's arms felt empty. He hadn't held Susu for two months, and he inevitably felt empty after holding her for just a short while.
The strange thing is that after the queen took Susu away, she stopped crying immediately, as if a switch had been installed and she stopped crying as soon as she was told to.
The emperor could not wait to reach out his hand again, "Susu, stop crying. Let me hug you."
The Queen reminded her, "Susu is shy now. What if she starts crying again when you hold her in your arms?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor froze his arm in mid-air, unable to pull it back. He could only stand aside and look at Susu, watching her grinning at the empress with great joy.
"Susu is getting better at smiling. Look how sweet her smile is." But she didn't smile at him, the emperor.
The emperor was not discouraged either. Susu was shy because she hadn't seen him for two months, but she was no longer shy when she returned to the palace.
After breakfast, the emperor ordered people to start packing up and return to the palace.
The Queen handed Susu to Shen Liangdi and turned to look at the Dog Emperor, "Your Majesty, I will go and say goodbye to Brother Ye."
The emperor glanced at Ye Chu in front of him. He didn't want the empress to talk to Ye Chu alone, not even a word.
"You can say goodbye, just say goodbye in front of me."
The Queen said: "There are some things that are not convenient for the Emperor to hear."
The emperor snorted, "Then don't say goodbye. I don't think he is a good person.
"Brother Ye is much more upright than the emperor." After the queen said this, she walked towards Ye Chu.
The emperor looked unhappy when he heard this, but he had to endure it in front of so many people.
The queen walked gracefully to Ye Chu, and thought of what Ye Chu had said: a woman really needs to be praised to have confidence.
Ye Chu had guessed the result when he saw her actions. He asked again unwillingly: "A Ling, have you decided to return to the palace?"
The queen nodded, "Well, I am the queen, so why shouldn't I return to the palace? I don't know when we will meet again in the future. Brother Ye, when you are free, remember to come and see me."
Ye Chu saw unhappiness in her eyes, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
"You are not happy in the palace, why do you want to go back? If you are willing, I can take you away from Daxia."
"I chose to enter the palace myself, so what if I'm unhappy?" The queen said and then laughed, "But none of this matters anymore. I'm a grandmother now, and I'm happy to see my grandchildren every day."
Ye Chu couldn't help but ask: "Why did you choose Xiao Qi?"
They clearly met first, why did he choose the latter?
"I like him." The queen couldn't help laughing after she said that. She was old, and it didn't matter whether she liked him or not. Because she liked someone, she was unrepentant. That's why she was so sad after knowing the truth.
Ye Chu was stunned when he heard this. He should have guessed it earlier.
The queen thought of something, and she reminded him, "Brother Ye, don't listen to the old monk. It's really not good to be a monk. The food is not good, and the accommodation is not good either."
This is what Chang Wenling said before leaving.
Ye Chu stared blankly at A Ling's departing back. There was something he never had the chance to say.
If he had come to propose marriage at that time, Aling, would you not have entered the palace?
Who could have guessed that the person he had been watching for seven years would be snatched away by a wolf cub before he could make a move.
The emperor was furious when he saw the empress and Ye Chu saying goodbye, talking and laughing.
Watching the queen turn around and walk towards me, with a bright smile on her face, I seemed to see how she smiled when she was thirteen years old.
But when the queen came closer, the smile on his face disappeared.
"What are you guys talking about? You look so happy?"
The Queen said calmly, "Of course we are talking about happy things."
The emperor looked unhappy. He said coldly, "Get in the carriage."
The Queen said nothing more and got into the carriage with the help of Qingying.
The Emperor and the Empress rode in one carriage, and Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei rode in another carriage.
A group of people left Fuyaoju in a mighty stream.
Ye Chu stood on the porch, watching the carriage go farther and farther away.
He will never be able to marry someone he likes in his life.
The old monk’s calculations are really accurate.
The Queen had been away for two months and there had already been a lot of talk in the harem.
Although the emperor said that the queen was not feeling well, the concubines were not stupid and guessed that the queen was not in the palace.
Rumors were spreading, including that the empress had eloped with her lover. The emperor searched for her for two months but couldn't find her.
The happiest ones were Concubine Yun and Concubine De, both of whom were promoted to Concubine not long ago.
Because if the queen really was unfaithful to her husband, they two would be the most likely to become the heirs.
Concubine Degui sighed twice: "Who would have thought that the empress is also a woman of watery nature? This time, the emperor will definitely depose the empress."
"The Queen is the same. She can't stand loneliness even at her age." Concubine Yun was holding Yin'er in her arms, feeling extremely happy.
Concubine Degui whispered, "I heard that Concubine He has been keeping her sisters in check these days. I'm afraid she also wants to be the empress."
"Now Concubine He is the most favored, so it's normal for her to have such evil thoughts." Concubine Yun said.
Not only in the harem, but also in the Eastern Palace, various rumors were spreading.
Xu Chenghui whispered, "I heard that Shen Liangdi's two children died young, and Shen Liangdi went crazy and was sent out of the palace."
Concubine Xuece drank her tea proudly, "What a pity, she has the life to give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, but not the life to raise it."
Concubine Xu was passing through the garden when she heard someone cursing Shen Liangdi and the baby in a very vicious way. She became angry on the spot.
She came out from behind the tree, swinging her handkerchief, and pointed at Xu Chenghui's nose and cursed: "Xu Chenghui, did you put a suppository on your mouth? Even the scorpions can't compare to your mouth."
Concubine Xu learned how to use the suppository from the storybooks.
