Shen Fu leaned in His Majesty's arms, closing her eyes and thinking for a moment.
A hand above her head fell on her cheek: "I'm a little hungry."
"Ah." Shen Fu raised her head in confusion.
This isn't meal time.
"Your Majesty, do you have no food?"
Xiao Baozi, who had just gone out to announce the decree, came in. His eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he bent down and was about to step forward to speak.
"I haven't eaten yet."
Xiao Yu placed one hand on Shen Fu's cheek, stroking it gently with his fingertips.
Xiao Baozi swallowed the words in his mouth intact.
It was clear that His Majesty had just finished his lunch.
I even drank a whole bowl of ginseng soup when I came.
Considering His Majesty's weight, it is impossible for him to starve so quickly.
Xiao Baozi didn't know what the Emperor was thinking, but he still swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat.
"Then, shall I ask the imperial kitchen to prepare something for His Majesty?"
Chen Fu said, "What would your Majesty like to eat? I'll have someone make it for you right away."
“No.”
Xiao Yu shook his head and pulled Chen Fu's hand: "The imperial kitchen is closed at this time. If I ask for a meal, it will be a waste of time."
"Then your Majesty, please have some cakes to fill your stomach." Chen Fu pushed the cakes aside to your Majesty's hand.
"There are water chestnut cakes, osmanthus cakes, and the newly-made walnut cakes." Chen Fu handed a stack of cakes to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"
"It's too greasy. I don't like it." Xiao Yu shook his head without hesitation.
He never liked eating these things.
These pastries are too sweet, Xiao Yu basically doesn’t touch them.
"Then, what should Your Majesty do?" Shen Fu raised her face and looked at him.
Xiao Yu's hand fell on Shen Fu's cheek, stroking it gently with his fingertips.
"Look at what you have in your small kitchen, and make me something."
"My small kitchen..." Shen Fu was about to speak, but immediately remembered.
Aren’t there freshly made dumplings in her small kitchen?
His Majesty just said not to let her do it.
He asked this question even though he knew the answer, it's obvious that he just wants to eat the dumplings.
Shen Fu lowered her head, a smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
It was covered up again in just a moment.
"It's just that this is my first time making dumplings, so I'm not doing well. Your Majesty, please don't blame me."
Xiao Yu's hand fell on Shen Fu's head and patted it gently: "I'll wait for you."
Chen Fu had already made those dumplings in advance.
As for the fillings and so on, they were prepared early on.
Chen Fu went to the small kitchen and pinched a few more, and when she had ten in total, she cooked them and sent them over.
Soup dumplings with three fresh fillings.
The snow-white dumplings were plump and floating in the soup bowl. Shen Fu even specially blanched two pieces of green leafy vegetables.
Snow-covered soup dumplings, green vegetables, and floating yellow egg skin.
When the bowl of dumplings was served, Xiao Yu immediately smelled a fragrance.
"This is my first time doing this." Chen Fu on the opposite side was a little nervous.
She looked at him cautiously: “Your Majesty, please try it and see if it tastes good.
Xiao Yu took the spoon calmly.
He lowered his head and took a bite.
When Xue Yi's dumplings were broken open, the oily and fragrant fillings were inside. As soon as you take a bite, the aroma of the meat filling explodes in your mouth.
"Your Majesty, is it delicious?"
After Xiao Yu ate a dumpling, Chen Fu came forward and asked him cautiously, "Is it delicious?"
“Salty or bland?”
Xiao Yu looked into Chen Fu's cautious and concerned eyes.
He looked down at his bowl.
Seeing that there was still a lot left, Xiao Yu scooped up a spoon and handed it to Chen Fu's mouth: "Try it."
Shen Fu lowered her head and took a bite.
"Delicious!" She raised her head, her eyes shining.
"It's delicious." Xiao Yu didn't give her any more.
He ate the whole bowl of dumplings in one breath.
When leaving the house, Xiao Baozi looked at His Majesty with some concern.
His Majesty, maybe he has eaten too much.
"Not a single word of today's incident is allowed to be leaked to Hehuan Palace."
Little Baozi hadn't said anything yet, but when he heard the words of His Majesty, he immediately nodded.
"I obey your order!"
His Majesty has already instructed him once. This time, the instructions should be not to tell Consort Zhao.
So what His Majesty meant is this, right?
He doesn't care about the imperial concubine anymore?
When Xiao Baozi thought of this, he raised his head with shining eyes and said, "Your Majesty, are you no longer angry with the Imperial Concubine?"
"The Imperial Concubine was not aware of this matter." In fact, when Xiao Yu thought of that unknown fiancé, he felt a wave of pain in his heart.
But after thinking about it for too long, if Shen Fu really didn't know, there was really no need to force the blame.
Besides, after eating that bowl of dumplings just now, Xiao Yu actually didn't intend to blame Chen Fu anymore.
"Then, Your Majesty, do we still need to investigate the people?" Xiao Baozi couldn't help asking.
Xiao Yu raised his hand. It was a child marriage, wasn't it an engagement that was made by those people without Shen Fu's knowledge?
I have never met someone before, and I am afraid I will never have the chance to meet him again in the future.
Why should he care?
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Check!"
He doesn't care, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to know who that person is!
*****
His Majesty asked Chen Fu to go to the Heavenly Prison.
Although Chen Fu didn't know why, she thought about it for a whole day, and it was not until noon the next day that the thought came to her.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Prison, the guards at the gate had received the news long ago and were already waiting at the door.
Seeing Chen Fu's sedan chair, the leader bent down and stepped forward to greet it.
"Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine Zhao."
His Majesty promoted Concubine Zhao two levels in one fell swoop, to Imperial Noble Concubine Zhao.
This matter has been widely circulated for a long time.
After all, the position of Imperial Noble Consort Zhao was similar to that of the Empress Dowager. In addition, Noble Consort Zhao has five princes, so her status in the future cannot be underestimated.
When serving, one must be more careful.
“I’m here to see Shen Changshan.”
The dungeon is deep, dark, and damp. Shen Fu really didn't like this place, and asked with a frown, "Is Shen Changshan here?"
"Yes." The leader bent down and nodded quickly.
“Chen Changshan is inside, please follow me, Madam.”
The leader walked towards Chen Fu and went inside.
Chen Fu looked at the stairs going down and couldn't help but hold Zi Su's hand tightly.
He took a deep breath and then followed the man downwards.
"Shen Changshan is here, and we servants have to protect him." The guards knew the relationship between the imperial concubine and Shen Changshan.
While looking down with Shen Fu, he did not forget to flatter her.
"Your Majesty has specifically ordered that no torture be used, so don't worry, Your Majesty."
After the leader finished speaking, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Shen Fu.
But since he couldn't see any emotion in her eyes, he gave up unwillingly.
The road to the prison was long and deep. Zi Su couldn't help but shiver as she walked along the way, saying, "It's so cold."
It's cold.
The further down you go, the colder it gets.
The snow outside was a foot thick, but it was still no match for the cold and gloomy feeling in the dungeon.
The whole person seemed to fall into the snow.
Zi Su was shivering from the cold, twisting her arms, and Chen Fu gave her the hand warmer in her hand.
I had only taken a few steps when I heard a hoarse voice begging for mercy: "Let me out."
"Let me out!"
There was a dull noise, followed by the sound of knocking on the cell, followed by a bang without a word being said.
Shen Fu's footsteps stopped, and she looked at the helpless face of the person next to her: "Royal Concubine, this is Shen Changshan."
Since he came in, Shen Changshan has never stopped moving.
Every day I'm shouting to go out.
He was clamoring to see Cui Niang.
In his words, Cui Niang is the person who loves him the most in the world and also the most fragile woman in the world.
He was here now, fearing that Cui Niang in his family would not survive.
Of course, the guards didn't dare to say this to the Imperial Concubine.
Everyone knows that this imperial concubine was born to the original wife.
It has nothing to do with Aunt Cui.
Shen Changshan was also too confused.
He not only abandoned his wife and daughter, but kept thinking about his concubine.
How ridiculous?
"Your Highness the Imperial Concubine." The guard bent over and asked more cautiously, "Do you want me to come over?"
“No!”
Chen Fu raised her hand to stop the man, put down the hand that was supporting Zi Su, and slowly walked forward.
Shen Changshan was still huddled on the ground, hitting the ground with a broken bowl in his hand.
Without saying a word, he knocked weakly on the ground, mumbling to himself, "Mother Cui."
"My Cui Niang."
Shen Changshan didn't notice it until Shen Fuqi came in front of him.
The shadow in front of her became gloomy, and Shen Fu looked at Shen Changshan’s weak and thin body. His cold eyes fell on his face, and he said calmly:
"Your Cui Niang is not here."
Hearing the sound, the person lying on the ground slowly stood up.
A puzzled look fell on Shen Fu's face. Shen Changshan's eyes turned to Shen Fu, who was wearing the clothes of an imperial concubine.
His eyes were full of temptation, and his cold pupils fell on Shen Fu's face. After a while, he seemed to recognize her: "Shen Fu!"
"It's you!" He was calling Chen Fu, no one else.
Shen Changshan seemed to be enraged. He climbed on the prison door with both hands and clenched it tightly: "What are you doing here?!"
The look that fell on Shen Fu's face was cold without a trace of tenderness.
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this?"
"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?!"
Shen Changshan’s eyes were full of hatred.
It's all her.
It’s all because of the people in front of me.
If it weren't for Shen Fu, how could he be in such a situation today?
He should have had a good family, a respectable identity, and a virtuous and lovely wife.
But because of the person in front of me, everything has now become a bubble.
