"I have finished dealing with the memorials for today, and it is almost time for dinner." Jun Zechen said slowly, with a barely perceptible 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 methodically, "My sisters came to Kunning Palace this morning to pay their respects. They all said that Your Majesty had not set foot in the harem for over 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 Empress, I have the obligation to advise Your Majesty that even with the busy state affairs, you need to rest. 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 the card."
After saying that, Su Jingyao gently gestured to the eunuch behind her, and the eunuch respectfully walked quickly to the side of His Majesty holding the sign.
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 behind 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 turn over the cards!
Jun Zechen's eyes instantly 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 calm.
"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 him.
When the eunuch saw that His Majesty had finally turned over the card, he was very happy and a look of joy appeared on his face unconsciously.
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 that, 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.
After Su Jingyao completely disappeared from 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.
"Snap!" A crisp and loud sound was heard, causing An Shun, who was standing beside him, to tremble uncontrollably.
He secretly groaned in his heart. He thought that the Qianqing Palace would be able to return to normal after today, but he didn't expect that the Queen's arrival 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 an invisible 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 forever.
"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 mean to let Concubine Shu stay in the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"
After His Majesty ascended the throne, none of the concubines he summoned stayed overnight in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, except for the Empress...
Jun Zechen remained silent, and just used his eyes to signal Anshun to leave.
He had never liked the women in the harem, and the Queen was irritating him today. He was the Emperor, so couldn't he do as he pleased? Was it his duty to favor women?
However, the queen was so generous and didn't care about his favor, so he just 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 Shufei." Anshun bowed respectfully.
"Eunuch Anshun, please get up. Is His Majesty still busy with government affairs?"
Shufei had an innocent smile on her face, with a hint of expectation 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.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu's face showed a moment of loss, and her originally bright eyes dimmed a little.
Then she forced a smile and said, "Okay, I understand. Eunuch 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 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 a child 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 ascend to the throne of queen, and she might not even have children in her life.
Her mission is to gain the emperor's favor 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 of 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.
