Chu Yu's long legs took a graceful step, but suddenly he turned sideways and stumbled.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

The young eunuch who was following closely behind him hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold the man, preventing the precious emperor from falling flat on his face in front of the empress.

【pity……】

Shen Yuan sighed inwardly, she quite liked watching the dog emperor make a fool of himself.

After steadying himself, Chu Yu's face turned grim for a moment. He glanced coldly at the dignified woman with her head lowered, lifted up his skirt and swung it, then sat down at the table with his arms and legs spread wide.

The maid respectfully placed the dishes and chopsticks on the table. He pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a fake smile, and said in a cold tone: "Queen, please sit down."

Chen Yuan also said with a fake smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

[The dog emperor is giving me the cold shoulder here, hehe~]

Chu Yu's forehead twitched and anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly held it back and silently picked up the bowl and started to eat.

The meal was eaten in silence, Chen Yuan's eyebrows did not move, and he secretly complained in his heart: [I am really afraid of indigestion when eating in front of this face. 】

Chu Yu: ...

I can bear it.

After the meal, the emperor and empress washed their hands and faces with the help of the palace maids, and Chu Yu raised his hand and waved away the servants.

"Zi Tong..." Chu Yu sat down closer to Chen Yuan and reached out to hold her hand on her knee.

[Dare to touch me, don't you want the dog emperor's hand anymore? 】

The claw that was about to touch down quickly retracted. Chu Yu looked at the woman sitting upright with a look of doubt and uncertainty.

"Your Majesty?" After waiting for a long time without any further words, Shen Yuan raised his head slightly, with a hint of timely doubt in his eyes.

Chu Yu's complexion had returned to normal, and his slightly raised peach blossom eyes gazed at her deeply, looking extremely affectionate.

[Is this the legendary look of deep affection when looking at a dog? The Dog Emperor is quite good at it.]

Chu Yu's mouth twitched twice without a trace, and he shifted his gaze as if inadvertently, and fell on the coral ornaments in front of the window: "The ornaments in Zitong Palace seem to have been used for a long time.

Recently, some of my subjects have sent me some new and interesting things. I will have some of them sent over for you to enjoy.”

[If you are being nice to me for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief. Is the dog emperor planning to harm me? ]

Shen Yuan cursed in his heart, and a gentle smile similar to the original owner appeared on his face. He lowered his eyelids and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Yu:? ! !

Queen, there's something wrong with you!

We can't continue chatting today.

Chu Yu's chest rose and fell violently twice, and he barely maintained his expression: "Zi Tong, there is no need to be polite. You have worked so hard to manage the harem for me. These mundane things are nothing."

【Speaking of this...】

Chen Yuan raised his fingers and pressed his temples, his whole body showing signs of fatigue: "I have been feeling unwell these days, and I am afraid I can't continue to work so hard. I would like to ask the Imperial Concubine, the Virtuous Concubine, the Virtuous Concubine, and the Shu Concubine to share some of the burden. Please allow me, Your Majesty."

Chu Yu curled his fingers in his sleeves, and a nervous look appeared on his face: "Zitong is sick? Why didn't anyone report it to me? Who is the imperial physician in charge of your pulse case? I will punish him!"

[Heh! The dog emperor's acting is a little too fake. If he really cares about me, how could he not even know who the imperial physician who usually treats me is? Pah! ]

Shen Yuan smiled at the stiff man, "Flattened," and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, but this matter has nothing to do with the imperial physician. I thought it was not a big deal, and I didn't want to trouble Your Majesty, so I ordered him to keep it secret."

“I see,” Chu Yu’s expression of concern could no longer be maintained. “Zi Tong, don’t do this again in the future. As long as it’s your business, no matter how small it is, it’s a big deal to me.”

【Hehe~】

"I agree with what you just said. I will draft an edict to order the imperial concubine and others to help you with palace affairs. I still have government affairs to deal with, so I won't bother you any more. Remember to rest well and get well soon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Yuan looked "grateful".

"Zi Tong is not feeling well, so there is no need to see me off." Chu Yu didn't want to look at her two-faced face anymore, so he stood up abruptly and hurried out.

【strangeness……】

He suddenly heard a doubtful voice behind him and stopped in his tracks.

[Didn't the dog emperor come to talk about his little darling's promotion? Why didn't he mention it at all and just talked about irrelevant things? ]

The Queen even found out about the private conversations between herself and her beloved concubine. Her power in the harem is so huge!

Chu Yu was startled, and his footsteps and heartbeat became disordered.

Even if he didn't mention it, Shen Yuan had no intention of sending him away. If she hadn't wanted to find out about the spies, she would have killed the dog emperor quietly.

Anyway, the original owner's son has been made the crown prince, and the Pei family occupies half of the court, so they can fully support him to sit firmly on the throne.

but……

The Dog Emperor’s reaction just now was a bit strange!

Chen Yuan stroked his chin and thought. According to the original owner's memory, the Dog Emperor had begun to treat her coldly four months ago.

In the past, he would spend ten days or so in Qiwu Palace in a month. During this period, he went from coming once every four or five days to once every six or seven days. Recently, he hasn't come for half a month.

Of course, he went to other concubines even less often. It seemed as if the dog emperor suddenly became tired of the harem overnight. He spent most of his time staying in the imperial study and rarely set foot in the harem.

Until a month ago, this was broken by a little talent.

Others don't know, but the original owner, who has been in the harem for many years, knows clearly that ever since he met the talented lady Mei in the imperial garden, the dog emperor has repeatedly gone to have a tryst with her in private clothes.

He didn't know what the fun was, but at the beginning, the two of them interacted secretly. Until a month ago, he ran into Concubine Mei being punished to kneel by Concubine An in the palace.

The dog emperor was furious and immediately demoted Concubine An and promoted Concubine Mei to a noble lady. From then on, he stayed at her place all the time and sent her rewards like water. Countless women in the harem were so angry that they bit their handkerchiefs into pieces in secret.

Although the original owner had long learned not to be sad or jealous, he couldn't help feeling sad in his heart, so when he saw the Dog Emperor coming after many days, he was extremely happy.

But after a while, the dog emperor poured cold water on her head. He came here just to ask her to raise the rank of Concubine Mei again.

The original owner was resentful and refused the emperor's request for the first time on the grounds that she was promoted too quickly. After that, the angry dog ​​emperor took away her power in the palace and divided it among the four concubines to manage the palace affairs.

Eh? The last point is similar to the last life, but why didn't the dog emperor mention the matter of Concubine Mei?

Although she came here to change the future, when she first entered the small world, the development of things would still follow the original trajectory.

Is it because I was too cold towards the Dog Emperor and not as enthusiastic as the original owner?

Shen Yuan thought with some uncertainty.
