Chapter 237 The Emperor's Tenderness
The snow was falling so fast that by evening the snow was knee-deep.
The long boots stepped on the ground, making a slight sound of melting snow.
Under the soft moonlight, Xiao Yu stood at the entrance of Hehuan Palace holding an oil-paper umbrella.
The copper bell under the eaves had long been frozen by ice and snow, and no matter how strong the wind blew, it was no longer audible.
Xiao Yu looked at the tightly closed palace door in front of him for an unknown amount of time before he pushed the door open with both hands.
There was a slight "crunch" sound, and a burst of hot air rushed towards me.
Chen Fu has always been afraid of the cold, so even if there was a floor heating in the Qianqing Palace, she would light a pot of charcoal fire.
When you get to the Hehuan Hall, you can light the charcoal basin as if it doesn't cost any money.
In the palace next door, there was at most one pot in the inner room and one pot in the outer room.
But only Chen Fu was willful and wanted to fill in all four corners: east, west, south, and north.
The room is warmer than if a floor heater was turned on.
Fortunately, Shen Fu was favored and pregnant, so the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs naturally did not dare to say anything and allowed Shen Fu to do whatever she wanted.
Xiao Yu pulled his collar, shook his head, chuckled, and strode in.
Inside the house, Shen Fu was lying on the beauty couch.
Chen Fu has been feeling weak since she became pregnant.
In addition, I stood at the gate of the Qianqing Palace for a long time during the day, so my hands and feet were a little cold when I came back.
She just asked Zi Su to make some hot water for her to soak her feet, but she fell asleep while soaking without knowing it.
When Xiao Yu saw Chen Fu's look, he subconsciously slowed down his footsteps.
The long boots stepped on the carpet, so quietly that there was not even a sound.
His Majesty did not stop until he reached in front of Chen Fu.
"Wan..." Zi Su was half-kneeling on the ground massaging Shen Fu's legs. She looked up and saw His Majesty and subconsciously wanted to kneel down to salute.
But just as he spoke, His Majesty stretched out his hand and shook his head, signaling: "You go down first."
Zi Su glanced at Chen Fu on the beauty couch, and then looked at the overbearing Emperor in front of her.
She bit her lip, somewhat reluctant to leave.
Zi Su heard clearly the noise of the Emperor's anger in the Qing Palace during the day, it was really scary.
Zi Su was afraid that His Majesty would be angry with the young lady, so she shrank her neck and didn't want to leave, and whispered:
"Slave...slave will serve here. Little, the young lady's feet are not clean yet, how about this slave asks the young lady to get up?"
Zi Su asked cautiously, but just as she finished her words, the Emperor above her head gave her a fierce look and said in a stern voice:
"Go down!"
Zi Su was frightened and dared not disobey the Emperor's words anymore. She slowed down her pace and retreated quickly.
Your Majesty is really cruel.
Thinking back to the look in His Majesty's eyes just now, Zi Su was extremely worried. Look back every few steps.
But before he reached the door, Lin An pulled him out with his palm.
"How could you be so blind?" Lin An stood at the door and looked at Zi Su's behavior just now, his heart pounding with fear.
Even though His Majesty had ordered her to leave, she still looked reluctant to leave.
Fortunately, His Majesty was only paying attention to Concubine Shen just now. If he saw this girl like this, he might be angry.
"Eunuch Lin, Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not get angry with our young master, right?"
Zi Su was really scared, she lowered her eyes and asked worriedly.
His Majesty will lose his temper with Lady Shen Fu
Lin An stood on tiptoe and bravely looked into the room, only to see His Majesty half-bending over and squatting towards Miss Chen Fu.
Lin An's mouth twitched.
His Majesty almost knelt down in front of Miss Shen Fu, and he still got angry with her?
Lin An half-closed his eyes, raised his hand and closed the door.
He gave Zi Su a sidelong glance: "You're worrying about nothing."
As soon as the door was closed, the last trace of cold wind disappeared. The heat rose in the house.
Xiao Yu pulled his collar, knelt on one knee on the carpet, and reached out his hand to try the basin of water.
It must have been soaked for too long, and the water in the basin was only slightly warm.
Xiao Yu looked at Chen Fu, who was lying on the beauty couch with her eyes closed.
She must be tired, there was a tired look between her eyebrows and eyes, making people reluctant to wake her up.
"Little lazy fellow."
Xiao Yu shook his head gently, afraid of waking up Chen Fu, and used his hands very gently to slowly lift Chen Fu's feet out of the basin.
Xiao Yu placed his hand very slowly, and his movements were gentler than ever before.
Only after seeing that Shen Fu on the beauty bed had not woken up did he feel relieved.
My feet had been soaked in the water for too long, and when I lifted them up, there were tiny drops of water on them. The crystal clear water was dripping down along my toes little by little.
Shen Fu was fair and tender, and her whole body looked like a jade sculpture. Her feet were white and delicate, with her fingertips slightly arched like crescent moons.
At this moment, tiny drops of water floated on the instep of my feet, shining like pearls in the flickering lights.
Xiao Yu looked down a few times, and the smile in his eyes gradually became dim.
He looked at the jade beads gathered at the slender toes. He stretched out his hand tentatively to take it, but before his fingertips touched it, he saw Shen Fu's eyes were closed.
Xiao Yu withdrew his palm and held on.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the hoarseness in his throat. I turned around and looked around, but found that there was no cotton towel to wipe my clothes.
Then look down again.
Shen Fu's feet had just been soaked in water. If this continued, she would probably get sick.
Xiao Yu rubbed his eyebrows a few times because of the headache.
He lowered his head with a helpless look on his face, but still held up Chen Fu's feet, lifted a corner of his dragon robe and carefully wiped away the moisture.
His Majesty's movements were gentler than ever before, even his hands holding Shen Fu slowed down.
The candlelight by the window flickered slightly, and the shadows of the two people were reflected in the window.
His Majesty's shadow is tall and his body stands straight. When he bends down and lowers his head, even his shadow appears gentle and kind.
The snowflakes outside the window kept falling and soon filled up the window.
Xiao Yu put down the wrinkled corner of his clothes, and felt helpless for a moment when he looked at Chen Fu who had her eyes closed.
Chen Fu was sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake her up at this moment. But if I carry her from here to the bed, Shen Fu will inevitably be woken up.
Xiao Yu's face was full of headache, but seeing Chen Fu sleeping so soundly, he felt really reluctant to let her go.
After pondering it over for a while, he had to reach out and gently pick up Shen Fu from the beauty bed.
His Majesty moved gently, raising his hand and effortlessly holding Shen Fu lightly in his arms.
Shen Fu lay in His Majesty's arms with her eyes closed.
She had already noticed when His Majesty came, but she pretended to be asleep.
It was not until His Majesty held her in his arms that she took a deep breath and even stopped breathing.
I don’t know what His Majesty wants to do.
Shen Fu's heart tightened, but she showed no expression on her face. Her palm fell on the emperor's shoulder, and she couldn't help but tighten it.
His Majesty carried her all the way to the bed before stopping. After Shen Fu noticed it, she just breathed a sigh of relief.
But the person above her head smiled gently, tilted his head to look at her, and said in a doting tone:
"Not pretending to sleep anymore?"
