Dressed as the stepmother of a wealthy and rebellious son

Hearing Shu Wan's words, Xu Yinjia glanced at Shu Wan in surprise, "You are quite smart."

She didn't expect that Shu Wan, who seemed so ignorant, could be so good at making things happen.

"Before entering the palace, my father taught me that as a concubine, I have a low status and must learn to be obedient. Only by being obedient can I have a good future."

Shu Wan was so honest, which dispelled Xu Yinjia's suspicion. She winked at the personal maid, who quickly brought over a bowl of medicine.

"Do you know what this is?" Xu Yinjia asked Shu Wan.

Shu Wan nodded, "I know."

Xu Yinjia raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then tell me, what is this?"

"It's the ultimate heirloom."

Xu Yinjia's eyes brightened slightly, "Then you are willing to drink? In this harem, as long as there are children, there is a foundation for a foothold. Don't you want to go to a higher position?"

"I have known since I was a child that no matter how capable you are, you can do great things. Even if I have a child, I will not be able to protect the child when he grows up."

Shu Wan's words are indeed true. After all, a county magistrate's daughter, no matter how favored she is, is like duckweed in the wind. As long as someone pulls it gently, it will be broken by the roots.

"Then you won't regret it?"

"What I want is for my family to be a little more glorious because of me, and I will never regret it."

In this era, the only role of a woman's birth is probably to serve as an exquisite ornament to add luster to the family, using her beauty and body in exchange for the benefits of other men to her father and brothers standing behind her.

What Shu Wan said made Xu Yinjia feel the same.

Xu Yinjia nodded approvingly, "He is quite a transparent person. Just drink the medicine."

"Yes."

Shu Wan said, took the medicine bowl from the maid's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

After Shu Wan finished drinking the medicine, Xu Yinjia was not in a hurry to speak. Shu Wan knew that Xu Yinjia was waiting for the medicine to completely subside.

Half an hour later, Xu Yinjia finally spoke again, "His Majesty said yesterday that he would come back to my palace tonight. When the time comes, you can wait on me."

"Yes."

After the deal was reached, Xu Yinjia let Shu Wan go.

When Shu Wan returned to the palace, palace servants came over with new utensils, clothes, and jewelry, and their attitude was much more respectful, "I follow the order of Concubine De, to buy things for the two young masters. The two young masters are here." If you need anything, you can tell me directly."

Ning Yuan was shocked, "Zi Ruo, what did you do? Why are they so nice to us all of a sudden?"

"Just follow me."

Shu Wan didn't say much, and Ning Yuan didn't ask any more questions.

The temperature is getting higher day by day, and the peach blossoms in the Imperial Garden are beginning to bloom first. Standing independently on the branches, they are beautiful and have a unique flavor.

There were rumors in the palace that Qi Yuan liked peach blossoms. Now that the peach blossoms were blooming, Xu Yinjia immediately sent someone to get a plum blossom and sent it to Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, these are the peach blossoms sent by Empress Dowager De, can I put them here for you?"

Huang Bing, the eunuch in charge, came over with a white porcelain vase and wanted to place the vase on the table.

Qi Yuan never had any objections to these furnishings. He glanced at them lightly, his eyes slightly fixed, "Who sent them?"

Although it is just a peach blossom, there is a very delicate thought in the decoration, which adds a bit of elegance to the peach blossom that originally looked a bit tacky due to its bright colors.

"Reply to Your Majesty, the newly promoted Shu promised to send it."

In fact, according to common sense, it is really not the turn of Huang Bing, the eunuch in charge, to remember a small promise.

But as soon as he saw Shu Wan, he felt that this person might be rich and powerful that others could not imagine in the future.

After all, others may not know how deeply Qi Yuan cared about the late queen, but he had always been with Qi Yuan and felt it in his heart.

How can I describe His Majesty's current feelings for the late Queen? I'm afraid it can only be a sigh.

Hearing Huang Bing talk about Shu Wan, Qi Yuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.

This emotion had not appeared in him for a long time, so that at this time, he felt a little unfamiliar.

Shu Wan does look a lot like her, but it's just a resemblance. She's not her at all. After all, Zuiyu has been missing for a long time, and the matter is still being worked on. There's no way she can come back.

At this moment, Qi Yuan's hatred for Shu Wan reached its peak. He looked at the vase of peach blossoms and said, "Throw it out."

"Ah?" Huang Bing thought for a moment that he heard wrongly. When he saw Qi Yuan's cold gaze, he quickly took the vase away, "Yes, I will do it now."

Seeing Huang Bing throw away the beautiful vase of flowers, the other young eunuchs were extremely puzzled, "Master, isn't the new Shu Yingxing very beautiful? Why is His Majesty so disgusted?"

Huang Bing looked at the gorgeous peach blossoms in his hands and shook his head inexplicably, "You just need to remember to treat Shu Ying as your master, no matter what her status is."

He has been with Qi Yuan for the longest time. When has he ever seen Qi Yuan affected by someone's emotions? This annoying emotion is also an emotion.

On the other side, Shu Wan had no reaction when she learned that the flowers she sent had been thrown away. She was sitting on the steps, grinding mung beans with a stone pestle.

Ning Yuan squatted aside and asked curiously, "Zi Ruo, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to make some food for His Majesty." Shu Wan didn't hide it.

Ning Yuan's eyes widened, "I heard that none of the nine beautiful ladies in front of me have taken their turn to serve as bed attendants. How long will it take for you to let His Majesty eat it?"

"soon."

Although Ning Yuan didn't think Qi Yuan would come to their place, she always felt that Shu Wan was capable. As long as Shu Wan said Qi Yuan would come, then he would definitely come.

Just as Ning Yuan was about to say something, Shu Wan turned her head and stared straight at her, "I want to become a beloved concubine. I can help you when the time comes, but before that, if you want to hinder me in any way, , I won’t show mercy either.”

From Shu Wan to this era, Ning Yuan has always been with her, so she gave Ning Yuan a vaccination in advance to avoid breaking her face later.

Shu Wan was usually gentle and gentle, but when she spoke now, she had such an overwhelming aura that Ning Yuan didn't dare to breathe for a while.

After a long while, Ning Yuan finally reacted, "Zi Ruo, you were a little scary just now."

"I'm not a good person."

"Don't worry, I know how much I weigh." Ning Yuan patted his chest, "Rather than competing for favor myself, I might as well wait for you to take me."

Perhaps when he first participated in the draft, Ning Yuan also had unrealistic dreams for a while, but only when he actually arrived in this strict palace, Ning Yuan realized how ordinary he was.

In this palace, women with family backgrounds, looks, and talents were like crucian carp crossing the river. She felt that if Shu Wan hadn't taught her how to wear Mulan hairpins, she might not even be able to enter the palace.

At this time, facing Shu Wan's warning, Ning Yuan accepted it calmly.

At dusk in the west mountain, Qi Yuan came to Changning Palace again.

When he stepped into the palace gate, Qi Yuan couldn't help but think of Shu Wan. He guessed that this woman must be waiting to dangle in front of him again.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan became anxious again.

He wanted to leave, but if he left because of Shu Wan, that would not be acknowledging Shu Wan's influence on him. After thinking for a moment, Qi Yuan walked into the palace gate.

But to his surprise, Shu Wan was not there.

Xu Yinjia came with a group of palace people to pay homage. Qi Yuan glanced at it, but for some reason, his heart felt empty. "Everyone, get up."

Qi Yuan said something and then went directly into the palace.

Xu Yinjia followed, "Your Majesty, I have prepared some new pastries for you. You can try them."

As she spoke, she motioned to the palace attendants to bring over the cakes.

Qi Yuan scanned it once and his eyes stopped on a bowl of crystal clear ice cream.

I don’t know what the ice cream is made of, but it is actually transparent. There are peach blossoms on the base, like colorful fallen flowers, which is quite ingenious.

Qi Yuan subconsciously thought of the peach blossom that he had thrown away.

Xu Yinjia had been paying attention to Qi Yuan's expression. Seeing that he was interested in this, he quickly brought the pastry to Qi Yuan, "Your Majesty, please try this. This is a new research in the small kitchen. It is cool and refreshing."

Qi Yuan took the spoon and took a sip. It was indeed cold and refreshing.

Before he could react, he had already taken a second bite.

When Qi Yuan was here with Xu Yinjia, he seldom drank anything, let alone eating. Now seeing that he actually ate more than one bite of pastries, Xu Yinjia was extremely happy, "Your Majesty, please eat some more."

"You did it?"

Qi Yuan did not continue eating, but raised his head and looked at Xu Yinjia.

It was rare for Xu Yinjia to get some affirmation from Qi Yuan. She really wanted to say that she was the one who did it. However, in Qi Yuan's cold eyes, Xu Yinjia felt as if she had been completely seen through. Her eyes flickered, "Your Majesty, I am a newly promoted person." Shu promised to do it, and she’s pretty good with her hands.”

Qi Yuan was a little surprised when he heard Xu Yinjia's words.

He knew Xu Yinjia's temperament. Xu Yinjia had always been stingy and jealous, and would never share anything with others, but this time she actually gave up credit so generously.

In just one night, Shu Wan was able to gain Xu Yinjia's trust, and Qi Yuan's curiosity about Shu Wan arose in his heart.

"You should have a rest. I still have something to do and will go back to Qianqing Palace first."

Qi Yuan said, put down the spoon, stood up and walked out.

Xu Yinjia still wanted to catch up, but Qi Yuan said, "Huang Bing, give the agate bracelet that Persia paid tribute to Concubine De the day before yesterday."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Xu Yinjia quickly saluted happily.

Qi Yuan returned to Qianqing Palace to read the book until late at night.

He was discussing matters with the ministers in the royal study this afternoon. He didn't even eat after talking until dinner. He looked at the book again and saw that now, his stomach felt vaguely empty.

"Huang Bing, bring some pastries."

"Yes."

Huang Bing quickly came over with several plates of pastries. Qi Yuan took a few bites but then put them down.

Huang Bing stepped forward cautiously, "Your Majesty, but the pastries are not to your liking?"

"Forget it, let's get down."

Qi Yuan couldn't say whether it suited his taste or not, he just felt it wasn't quite right.

Huang Bing considered Qi Yuan's expression and motioned to his men to take the things away. Then he went to find the eunuch on duty today, "Your Majesty, did you do anything special in Changning Palace today?"

"Yes." The little eunuch recalled, "Your Majesty usually doesn't eat much, but today he took two bites of pastries in a row."

"Oh? What kind of pastry? Who made it?"

"Shu promised to make it. As for the pastry, I didn't see it."

"Okay, I understand." Huang Bing thought for a while and called a young eunuch over, "You go to Changning Palace and ask Shu to promise to make a bowl of pastries and deliver it."

"Yes."
-

Time flies, and it is winter again in the imperial capital. In the blink of an eye, one year has passed since Shu Wan fell asleep.

Nothing seems to have changed, and everything seems to have changed.

The manor was so silent. Fu Siyu's company was the only place he spent every day except the hospital. Fu Yang's place was the hospital every day except the school.

Beneath the calm is infinite pain.

The first snow of the year fell. In the early morning, Fu Yang stood on the balcony, watching Fu Siyu protect the rose seedlings one by one and loosen the frozen soil.

For two whole hours, Fu Siyu stood in the snow without moving, and Fu Yang stood on the balcony without moving.

Fu Yang raised his head and looked at the sky, with warm tears falling from the corners of his eyes. He didn't know how long this situation would last.

Will it never change?

The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Fu Yang looked at the time. It was time for him to go to school.

When Shu Wan came here, Fu Yang never went to school on time. Now that Shu Wan fell into a deep sleep, Fu Yang became a good student in the eyes of everyone.

He went to the classroom. The classroom, which was always very lively in the past, was even more noisy today. Everyone gathered around, not knowing what they were talking about, and they were very excited.

Seeing Fu Yang coming, his deskmate quickly shared with him, "Hey, Fu Yang, have you heard?"

"what?"

"I heard from those girls that there is a very handsome male teacher. I wonder if he can be more handsome than you? They all acted so exaggeratedly."

Fu Yang was not interested in what the teacher was, so he took out his book and prepared to preview.

However, before he even opened the book, he heard his deskmate gasp, "Wow, he's really handsome. Look!"

Fu Yang raised his head boredly and met a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.

The new teacher is indeed good-looking, with a tall figure and clear eyebrows. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, covering his eyes.

The teacher walked to the podium, put down the book, and nodded to everyone, "Hello everyone, I am the new physics teacher, Chu Yu."

As Chu Yu spoke, he picked up the chalk and wrote two words on the blackboard. It was a very beautiful running script, and the ancient style was vaguely visible.

"I'm new here and I don't know everyone yet. Starting from the first one, please introduce yourself."

After Chu Yu finished speaking, the students began to introduce themselves.

Soon it was Fu Yang's turn. He stood up with a pair of peach blossom eyes filled with impatience, "My name is Fu Yang."

After saying that, Fu Yang sat down directly.

The classmates in front all introduced their names, hobbies, etc. with smiles on their faces. Fu Yang was so cold and conspicuous.

Chu Yu didn't seem angry. He smiled and nodded, "Fu Yang, that's a very good name."

The deskmate quietly touched Fu Yang with his arm and said, "Fu Yang, aren't you happy today? Why did the introduction be so short?"

Fu Yang frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Chu Yu on the podium. For some reason, he felt very upset when he saw Chu Yu's beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"I simply don't like this teacher. I get annoyed just by looking at him."

(guess who the new teacher is)
