The embroidered pattern is a smiley face, which is a little 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 when Shen Chuwei made a wish last year, there was a smiling face at the end of her signature.

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 guiltily, "...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 smiling face of the new sachet is not only pleasing to the eye, but also a bit mischievous.

Shen Chuwei raised his eyes 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 inwardly, 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: "Because I have a new sachet, why do I need the old one?"

Xiao Jinyan only uttered two words, "Wear it."

Shen Chuwei: “…” Then wouldn’t her new sachet be embroidered in vain?

It's not a talisman. 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 white jade ornament in the shape of a Qilin tied by a black ribbon, which is round and translucent. The new sachet and the jade Qilin are tied together.

The other one was put into his sleeve pocket.

Shen Chuwei had just finished her breakfast when the Queen 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 welcome him.

When the queen came in, she saw Shen Chuwei half-kneeling. After waving her hand for her to stand up, she walked over to the couch and sat down.

My eyes were quickly drawn to the lotus on the low table.

The queen turned her head to look over and found that this was the twin lotus that Xueyan had mentioned yesterday.

Unexpectedly, it was a two-colored lotus, a rare wonder that only appears once in a thousand years, and it was picked by Shen Chuwei~ 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 Chuwei replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I picked them myself."

The Queen heard this and her voice deepened: "You are quite courageous. You dared to pick the two-colored lotus."

Shen Chu lowered her eyebrows and nodded, "I was greedy at the moment and didn't worry too much."

The Queen looked at the twin lotuses, and stroked the purple petals with her fingers painted with red Kou Dan. "You are indeed a little greedy. Prince, you want to take both of the twin lotuses for yourself."

Shen Chuwei said nothing.

"I know that the prince likes you and dotes on you, but he is the prince, the future heir to the throne. The most important thing for him is not love affairs, but the country and the people. Do you understand?" The queen looked from the lotus to Shen Chuwei.

The queen smiled instead of getting angry when she heard this: "If you are not in my position, you will not understand the meaning of this sentence. You are someone who dares to tell the truth."

Shen Chuwei bowed and said, "Thank you, Queen."

The queen was stunned at first, then she laughed. This child...

Shen Chuwei raised his eyes and glanced at the queen, but didn't dare to ask.

Chunxi walked in and offered tea with both hands.

The queen took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely, "You should have heard that Princess Xueyan came to Daxia to marry. Xueyan is the legitimate princess of Xueyue Kingdom and came to Daxia with a generous dowry. Although Daxia won against Xueyue this time, it actually did not gain any advantage, but suffered heavy losses instead."

"Two days ago, I also asked Princess Xueyan what she thought. She has set her eyes on 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 lotus flowers 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 by the Imperial Garden, I saw the Emperor and Concubine Ning strolling around the garden.

Concubine Ning's belly was already seven or eight months old. The imperial physician examined her pulse and said it was a little prince. The emperor was very happy.

Qingying reminded: "The green head 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, the old cow eats tender grass!" That night, Hai Gonggong from the Jingshifang brought a green card and asked the emperor to turn it over.

The emperor just looked at the pile of memorials that needed to be approved, and then looked at the pile of green cards, and waved his hand, "Tonight, go to the Queen's Palace."

"Yes." Eunuch Hai retreated with the green sign 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 prince to study them."

"I obey your command." Eunuch Li came over, picked up the pile of unreviewed memorials, and went to the East Palace.

After reading the memorial in his hand, the emperor stretched 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 coming to Fengyi Palace to stay overnight.

What on earth did the dog emperor mean by this? The queen did not plan to wait for the emperor, so she lifted 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 and hadn't fallen asleep yet, 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 queen carefully in the candlelight. 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 this, she couldn't help but curse, "You dog emperor, no one would think you're dumb if you don't speak!"

Do you think you are still young?

What a joke! The emperor added: "It's a far cry from when I was fifteen."

The queen resisted the urge to jump up and hit someone.

Aren’t the selected beauties only fifteen years old?

Get out of here!!! If she were a 15 or 16-year-old queen, she would have turned around and beaten him up long ago.

Good afternoon, my darlings!

Please give me monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!!! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
