Hearing the footsteps getting closer behind her, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

When the emperor saw that the queen had fallen asleep, he sat down beside the bed, lowered his eyes to look at her for a few seconds, then reached out to touch her forehead and found that she did not have a fever.

He called out softly, "Ling'er."

The queen closed her eyes and ignored the dog emperor, thinking that the dog emperor would leave. However, the dog emperor did not play by the rules and directly turned her over, forcing her to wake up.

The emperor stroked the queen's face and called out again, "Ling'er, wake up."

The queen had no choice but to open her eyes, otherwise she would be exposed.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the Dog Emperor sitting beside the bed, looking down at her, with one hand touching her face.

She turned her head away calmly, avoiding the hand on her face.

"Why is the Emperor here?"

The emperor's hand paused there, and when he saw the quilt slip from her shoulders, he covered her with the quilt, "Qingying said you were not feeling well, where did you feel unwell?"

The queen glanced at the quilt on her body and said calmly, "I am fine. I am sorry to have made the emperor worried."

The emperor said in a gentle voice: "You don't need to be strong in front of me. If you feel unwell, you must speak up and let the imperial physician take a look. Don't let yourself be wronged."

The queen replied calmly: "I understand."

The emperor took the queen's hand. Her hand was a little cold, perhaps because it had been left outside for too long. He didn't think much about it.

"The date for enthroning the Crown Princess has been set. It will be the eighth day of next month. It's a good day."

The queen lowered her eyes and looked at the hand held by the dog emperor, and she pulled it out calmly.

"The eighth day is a good day."

The emperor looked down at his empty hands, then looked at the queen's indifferent eyes, which seemed a little different from before.

"Ling'er, are you still angry with me?"

The Queen raised her eyes to look at the Dog Emperor, "I dare not."

"What are you afraid of? You ran away from the palace with your daughter-in-law, lived under the same roof with a man from outside the palace, and dared to make conditions to me... What are you afraid of?" The emperor's voice sounded a little helpless.

The queen did not feel guilty because she had indeed done it all without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty still thinks that the relationship between me and Brother Ye is unclear, right?"

The emperor sighed, "I didn't disbelieve you. I was so angry that day that I said that. We have been married for more than 20 years. I still know your temper."

The queen smiled bitterly in her heart. Of course she understood. She had put a lot of thought into her since the first time they met. How could she not understand her preferences?

She had always thought that power struggles were far away from her, but she didn't expect that she was deeply involved in them without realizing it.

"I'm tired. If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I'll rest." The Queen's words hinted at her trying to get rid of him.

"I am a little tired too." The emperor said as he began to undress himself.

The Queen couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw this. Qingying clearly said that she was not feeling well, so why did she still want to sleep with him?

There's something wrong! After the emperor took off his clothes, he lifted the quilt and crawled in, then hugged the queen from behind. After two months of separation, she didn't know how much he missed her.

The queen pushed the dog emperor, trying to push him away. She said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well."

The queen was a woman and was not as strong as a man. The emperor held her tightly in his arms and she couldn't open her eyes at all. She rolled her eyes in anger.

"Ling'er, I don't want to do anything, I just want to hug you."

Queen: “…”

"Ling'er, when I first met you, you were..."

Before the emperor could finish his words, he was interrupted by the queen: "Your Majesty, I am tired."

"Then go to sleep." The emperor was actually quite tired. He had been searching for two months and had not had a good sleep.

The queen closed her eyes, but she was being held in the arms of someone. She couldn't ignore him even if she wanted to, and she couldn't sleep well at all.

The emperor, on the contrary, seldom had a good night's sleep.

At five o'clock in the morning, Eunuch Li reminded the emperor to get up and attend the early court.

The emperor was somewhat reluctant to get up, but he had to get up anyway as he had something important to announce today.

He put on his clothes and looked at the queen who was still sleeping. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips, then went to the morning court with satisfaction.

When the queen woke up, it was already daybreak.

After washing and dressing up, the queen put on the phoenix robe and crown again and sat on the throne in Fengyi Palace.

Concubines from various palaces came in one after another to pay their respects to the Queen.

The queen sat upright on the throne, looking down at the dozens of concubines below. Whether she had slept with him or not, they were all beauties picked from thousands of miles away.

Even Concubine Xu, the most favored concubine in the harem, could not make the emperor favor only one person.

Fengyi Palace was closed and there was a lot of talk in the harem. Two months later, the concubines began to see the queen again.

Although the rumor that the queen eloped with someone else was debunked, everyone was curious about what happened to the queen in the past two months. Was she really sick, or did something happen?

Concubine Yun asked with a smile: "Empress, the Emperor said you were not feeling well. Are you feeling better now?"

The Queen held the teacup in her hand, sipping tea leisurely, and glanced at Yun Xian's fake mouth, "I am in good health, I am sorry to have worried Concubine Yun."

Concubine Yun held up her handkerchief and said nothing more.

The other concubines each had their own concerns.

One thing is that if the queen is well, then the position of queen does not belong to them.

Today, the Imperial Design Department and the Fashion Bureau came to tailor a dress and hair accessories for Shen Chuwei to suit the needs of the Crown Princess.

At this time, Shen Chuwei was like a puppet, allowing a group of masters to look at her and measure her size.

After the measurement was completed, the group of people left.

Chunxi watched from the side, more excited than Shen Chuwei, "I wonder what the Crown Princess' dress will look like. It must be more beautiful than Chang Liangyuan's."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Shen Chuwei looked at Chunxi's excited expression, and it felt like she was going to be appointed as the Crown Princess.

Unlike Chunxi, she expected to have many delicious foods on her day as the Crown Princess.

"Go to Xiyun Pavilion and take a look at those little chickens."

Two months after leaving the palace, the hens in the chicken coop laid a lot of eggs. But because no one ate them, Xiao Guizi let the hens hatch all the chicks, which were only a few days old.

At this time, Taotao and Susu were sleeping.

Shen Chuwei and Chunxi came to Xiyun Pavilion.

Xiao Guizi also knew that Shen Chuwei was going to be appointed as the Crown Princess, and she came forward with a smile, "Congratulations, my lady. Congratulations, my lady."

Shen Chuwei knew that they were all happy for her, "On the day when the Crown Princess is appointed, I will treat you all to delicious food and give each of you three extra months of monthly salary."

Xiao Guizi and Guixiang hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you for the reward, young master."

"Go see the chicks." Shen Chuwei went straight to the small house next to the chicken coop. It was filled with haystacks and was surrounded tightly. The cold wind couldn't blow in, and the chicks were well raised.

Shen Chuwei counted them deliberately and found that there were thirty of them, which was quite a lot.

Xiao Guizi lifted up another piece of cotton cloth and said to Shen Chuwei with a smile: "My lady, the little duck has also hatched."

"Really?" Shen Chuwei walked over happily, looked down, and saw three little ducks quacking. The fur on their bodies was still wet, and they must have just hatched not long ago.

There are still a dozen duck eggs, and they will probably hatch in a few days.

Xiyun Pavilion and Xiaoxiang Pavilion have been connected, and a door has been installed in the middle.

Last year's lockdown proved to be a blessing in disguise, as her farm more than doubled in size.

When Xiao Jinyan returned to Hehuan Palace, he did not see Xiaojiu. He only saw the babies sleeping soundly. After asking the little rabbit, he learned that Xiaojiu had gone to Xiyun Pavilion.

He then came to Xiyun Pavilion and saw Shen Chuwei standing under a tree with a bright red fruit in her hand. She wiped it twice with a handkerchief and put it in her mouth and took a bite.

In Xiao Jinyan's eyes, Shen Chuwei's greedy nature will not change with age, but will become more greedy.

He walked over.

"Shen Liangdi."

Shen Chuwei turned around when she heard the voice and saw Xiao Jinyan walking towards her. She curved her eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

"Of course I came to see you." Xiao Jinyan came to her and looked at her lips that had tasted cherries and were stained with cherry juice.

He bent down and kissed her lips a few times. Just as he expected, they were sweet and delicious.

The sudden kiss stunned Shen Chuwei.

Who could have thought that the prince, who was calm, self-possessed, and aloof from women, would kiss her in the orchard?

Xiao Jinyan laughed softly: "So sweet."

Shen Chuwei: "..." He was chewing her mouth like a cherry? She stuffed the remaining cherries in her hand into her mouth and continued to eat.

Chunxi, who was standing not far away, saw this scene and covered his face with his hands.

Qin Xiao saw it, hesitated for a few seconds and then chased after him.

Xiao Jinyan took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips: "You are now the future Crown Princess. Let Xiao Guizi and the others take care of all these. You should also learn how to manage the Eastern Palace."

Shen Chu was stunned. How could she have forgotten this? The Crown Princess still had to manage the Eastern Palace. Xiao Jinyan took her hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to a place."
