Chapter 220: Cold-blooded and Domineering Emperor Without Heir x Delicate and Pregnant Concubine 12

Lianfang Palace

A huge moon bead hangs on the ceiling of the hall, shining brightly like the bright moon.

Concubine Shu was sitting under the pearls, wearing a light gauze dress, playing the zither. Her long hair, which reached her waist, was lightly tied with a silk ribbon. Her slender jade fingers stroked the strings to play music, and clear and melodious music flowed out from under her fingers.

The clear sound of the piano is like flowing water, and like the sparkling moonlight flowing on the gurgling water.

It is already the prelude to the piano piece "Xiaoxiang Water and Clouds".

The sound of the piano was pleasant to the ears. Ling Yu paused after getting off the sedan chair, then walked into the hall.

"Xiaoxiang Water and Clouds" is the song she is best at. Whenever Ling Yu hears this piece of music, he can't help but think of her in his mind.

The sound of the piano played by Concubine Shu was very similar to 'her'. Whenever Ling Yu was upset about state affairs, his mood would always be strangely calmed down as long as he heard this piano music.

Shufei brushed the strings of the zither with her ten fingers, and Ling Yu sat down opposite her with a distant look on his face.

Shufei knew that she had made the right bet again. His Majesty might not like her as a person, but he liked the sound of her piano.

"His Majesty."

Concubine Shu called him tenderly.

"You're not feeling well, so why are you playing the piano again?"

Ling Yu's face was cold and he looked at her with deep and sharp eyes.

Obviously, his expression was calm, neither upset nor angry, but he made Concubine Shu feel uneasy for no reason.

"Your Majesty often says that the sound of the zither can calm a person's heart. I have been plagued by nightmares recently, so I want to play the zither to calm my heart."

After Concubine Shu finished playing "Xiaoxiang Water and Clouds", she lifted her skirt and came to Ling Yu's side, slowly leaning her head on his shoulder, like a docile and dependent dodder.

"Your Majesty, my concubine and my children miss you very much."

The beautiful eyes of Concubine Shu were filled with tears, and she timidly expressed her longing.

As long as she gets close to His Majesty and smells his scent, she will feel extremely at ease.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that my pregnancy is stable and I can perform the Zhougong rites."

The beauty's soft and boneless body pressed close to Ling Yu, her breath smelling like orchid.

For some reason, Ling Yu thought of Shen Nianlai at this moment. Her eyes were clear and clean, and she was lively and cute. If she saw this scene, she would probably be angry.

Ling Yu lowered his eyebrows, put his fingers on Concubine Shu's body, and helped her up.

Concubine Shu looked at him in confusion, her breasts half exposed, her thin shirt transparent.

Ling Yu took off his black coat and covered Concubine Shu with it.

"It's late at night. Go to bed early. If you feel any discomfort, let the imperial physician watch over you all night."

"Wang Dequan." Ling Yu called out.

Wang Dequan ran in quickly, "The servant is here."

"Move ahead."

He started to walk away. Concubine Shu wanted to pull at the corner of his robe, begging him to stay, but she still couldn't touch even a little bit of his clothes.

Tears slid down Concubine Shu's face, and Ling Yu's indifference was like a sharp blade stabbing her heart.

Why is His Majesty always so cold-blooded, as if he doesn't care about anyone in his heart?

……

"Your Majesty, would you like to return to the Yangxin Palace to rest?" Wang Dequan asked.

Ling Yu pinched his brows and said nothing. But Wang Dequan understood.

"Move to Zhaohua Palace."

The eunuchs lifted the sedan chair steadily and walked towards Zhaohua Palace.

Wang Dequan flicked his whisk and followed the sedan chair with his exhausted body. Even though His Majesty is the emperor, it is actually not easy for him.

No one could get a good rest at night. Sometimes one palace maid would coax this concubine, and sometimes another palace maid would coax that concubine.

Just looking at it makes people feel tired.

……

The curtains were lowered layer by layer, and Shen Nian's slender figure was hazy. The palace was very quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was her shallow breathing.

Ling Yu opened the curtain and lay down beside Shen Nian. He embraced Shen Nian from behind, holding her slender waist with his hands, pulling her into his arms. He rubbed his chin against the top of her head.

There was obvious fatigue in his eyes, and the feeling of hugging Shen Nian made him close his eyes with great satisfaction.

……

The next morning, a ray of morning light shone into the hall, bringing warmth to the morning.

Zhuzi led a group of palace maids in with toiletries. She neatly rolled up the bed curtains and gently woke Shen Nian up.

"Your Majesty, today we have to pay our respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress."

The current Empress Dowager has exempted the concubines from the daily ritual of paying respects. They only need to do so on the ninth and fifteenth days of January.

Today happens to be the fifteenth day, so we must not be careless.

Shen Nian slowly opened his eyes and glanced to the side. There was not a single wrinkle on the mattress next to him.

"Zhu Zi, did His Majesty come to Zhaohua Palace again last night?"

Zhuzi shook her head in confusion, "Your Majesty has never been here. I don't know."

That was strange. Shen Nian clearly felt someone hugging her from behind last night. And the hug was very tight. She tried to break free several times, but was hugged again by that person.

Could it be that she was hallucinating? Shen Nian shook her head, shaking out the unrealistic thoughts in her head.

"Wash up."

After Shen Nian finished washing up, Zhuzi pushed him in front of the dressing table and started drawing on him.

Since she was going to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, Shen Nian's attire today was mainly dignified.

Zhuzi brought a wooden tray from the storeroom, on which was neatly stacked a magnolia-colored satin palace dress.

Shen Nian's black hair was combed into a bun, and the hairpin was decorated with spherical pearl hairpins and golden crabapple pearl hairpins, making her look both dignified and noble.

She wore a magnolia-colored satin palace dress with a smoky-colored silk and moon-blue albizzia-patterned gauze skirt. The skirt was well-cut to fit her waist, showing off her graceful figure, like a blooming magnolia.

"Let's go."

Shen Nian folded her hands in front of her and walked out gracefully and reservedly.

There was a sedan chair parked outside Zhaohua Palace. The sedan chair was made entirely of gold and jade inlaid. There were dragon patterns carved on the body of the sedan chair and it was equipped with a sunshade.

"Your Majesty, this looks like the sedan chair used by His Majesty." Zhuzi pointed at the sedan chair with a look of surprise on his face.

"What's going on?" Shen Nian asked, pointing at the eunuch carrying the sedan chair.

"To answer your Majesty's question, His Majesty has ordered us to escort you to Yongning Palace."

The young eunuch replied respectfully.

Hearing that it was Ling Yu who asked to carry him over, Shen Nian didn't hesitate and sat on it holding Zhuzi's hand.

There is a distance between Zhaohua Palace and Yongning Palace. She was tormented by Ling Yu last night and her legs are still shaking.

There is a sedan chair available, it would be a waste not to sit in it.

……

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when they encounter happy events, and this is exactly what the current Empress Dowager An is like.

She sent someone to call Concubine Shu early this morning. Touching Concubine Shu's belly, the usually stern and solemn Empress Dowager smiled so hard that she couldn't stop.

All the concubines who came to pay their respects to the Yongning Palace, including the queen, were standing.

Only Concubine Shu was allowed to sit on the soft chair with the Empress Dowager's permission.

When Shen Nian arrived, all the concubines in the palace had already arrived. When they saw her coming, they looked at her without any concealment.

There was a flash of surprise in some people's eyes, but more of them were filled with resentment.

Shen Nian had just entered the palace and had won the favor of His Majesty. Yesterday, he was exempted from paying respects to the Queen. Today, he came to Yongning Palace in His Majesty's imperial sedan chair.

This scenery is no less beautiful than that of Concubine Shu.

When Concubine Li heard the noise, she looked back and her face suddenly became gloomy.

Although this Concubine Qing was very beautiful, she was just a vixen and she could have ignored her.

But Qingpin's mother's family is very powerful, so she has to be more alert to deal with it.

When everyone was present, the concubines arranged themselves according to their ranks and, led by the Empress, all paid their respects to the Empress Dowager at the top of the table.

"The Queen Mother is in good health."

The concubines knelt down and a pair of brocade boots stepped past them and walked up to the top with steady steps.

"My son, I wish my mother and queen are well."

"Your Majesty is here, please sit down quickly." Queen Mother An came over personally, helped her son up, and took Ling Yu to sit beside her.

Then he went down and said, "Get up."

The concubines in each palace were helped to stand up by the palace maids. At this time, Concubine Gui, who was standing behind Concubine Shu, looked up and saw something, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Her face was pale, and she pointed at Concubine Shu and said in a trembling voice, "Sister Shufei, there is a lot of blood on your skirt."
