"I have finished dealing with the memorials for today, and it is almost time for dinner." Jun Zechen said slowly, with an imperceptible hint of lightness in his voice.
Su Jingyao acted as if she didn't hear Jun Zechen's words and didn't respond to him.
She continued in an orderly manner, "My sisters came to Kunning Palace this morning to pay their respects. They all said that Your Majesty has not stepped into the harem for more than half a month. The head eunuch of the Jingshifang also came to Kunning Palace to tell me about this."
Her expression remained dignified and generous, and she spoke at a steady pace.
"As the queen, I have the duty to advise Your Majesty that you need to rest even when you are busy with government affairs. Your Majesty's health is the most important thing."
"Since Your Majesty is not busy today, I have brought the eunuch with me. Your Majesty, please turn over a card."
After saying that, Su Jingyao gently signaled to the eunuch behind her, and the eunuch respectfully held the sign and walked quickly to the side of His Majesty.
Jun Zechen had never taken his eyes off Su Jingyao since she came in, and he didn't even notice that there was a eunuch following her.
After hearing her words, he suddenly realized how ridiculous it was to think that she had given in.
He never expected that she would come in person to let him flip the card!
Jun Zechen's eyes suddenly became as dark as a deep pool, suppressed anger surged in his eyes, and his expression became as cold as an iceberg.
His sharp eyes were fixed on Su Jingyao, but he said nothing.
Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly, unaware of his gaze and emotions, and remained as calm as ever.
"The Queen is so magnanimous, how can I let her down?" Jun Zechen's voice was icy cold without a trace of warmth.
"Summon Concubine Shu to sleep with you tonight." Jun Zechen said coldly, his words seemed to freeze the air around them.
When the eunuch saw that His Majesty had finally turned over the card, he was very happy and a look of joy unconsciously appeared on his face.
Su Jingyao smiled, as beautiful as a blooming spring flower.
"Your Majesty, drink more ginseng soup and take care of your health. I will take my leave."
After saying this, Su Jingyao's eyes curved slightly, like a crescent moon.
She turned gently, and the sleeves hanging at her sides swayed gently with her movements. The long floor-length skirt made her back look noble and charming.
Miaoyun followed closely behind them, and the master and servant left like this.
When Su Jingyao completely disappeared in the hall, Jun Zechen's suppressed anger finally erupted like a volcano.
His face was terribly gloomy, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Jun Zechen suddenly raised his hand and swept the ginseng soup on the table to the ground.
A crisp and loud "pop" sound was heard, causing An Shun, who was standing beside him, to tremble uncontrollably.
He secretly groaned in his heart, as he had thought that the Qianqing Palace would be able to return to normal after today. He did not expect that the Queen's visit would only add fuel to the fire!
The hour of Xu.
Anshun's face was full of helplessness. He really didn't want to hang around in front of His Majesty at this moment. He just wanted to be a transparent person in front of His Majesty.
But Concubine Shu (Princess Mingyue) was already waiting in the west hall.
We can't just leave Concubine Shu alone all the time.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has been waiting in the west hall for two quarters of an hour." Anshun said in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Jun Zechen frowned and glanced at Anshun with eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Can't you see I'm busy? Let Concubine Shu sleep in the west hall."
Anshun was surprised for a moment, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, do you want to let Concubine Shu stay in the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"
After His Majesty ascended the throne, none of the concubines he summoned stayed in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, except for the Empress...
Jun Zechen remained silent and just signaled Anshun to leave with his eyes.
He didn't like these women in the harem in the first place, and the queen was angry with him today. He is the emperor, can't he do whatever he wants? Is it his duty to favor women?
However, the queen was so generous that she didn't mind his favor, so he followed her wishes and did it for her to see.
Anshun walked to the west hall. At this time, Concubine Shu was sitting upright on the bed, her beautiful face like a blooming flower.
"Your servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Concubine Shu." Anshun bowed respectfully.
"Eunuch Anshun, please get up. Is His Majesty still busy with government affairs?"
There was an innocent smile on Concubine Shu's face, with a hint of anticipation in her smile.
"Yes, His Majesty is a little busy tonight and may not come, but His Majesty has instructed that Concubine Shu can rest in the west hall tonight." Anshun said.
When Concubine Shu heard this, there was a moment of loss on her face, and her originally bright eyes dimmed a little.
Then she forced a smile and said, "Okay, I understand. Lord Anshun, please remember to tell His Majesty not to overwork himself and to take care of his health."
Concubine Shu was originally very happy that His Majesty summoned her on the first night after not entering the harem for more than half a month, but she did not expect that His Majesty was so busy.
She was summoned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, but she was still handling state affairs.
Shufei has always known that she would marry the emperor of the country in the future, and her mother has always trained her in this way.
Her mother gently told her since she was young that she only needed to be loved by the emperor and there was no need to be greedy for anything else.
Because as a foreign woman, it was impossible for her to become the queen, and she might not even have children in her life.
Her mission is to gain the favor of the emperor and bring peace between the two countries.
Now that she is one of the four concubines, she has no desire for power.
Concubine Shu thought about His Majesty's handsome face. There was a hint of shyness on his pure and lovely face, and his slightly flushed cheeks were as charming as the sunset in the sky.
She just wanted to get a little bit of his love.
