Wearing a book, hooking him up

Kunning Palace.

Su Jingyao stood quietly beside the pond that had just been expanded and renovated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Her figure was slender and graceful, and one hand gently held some fish food for the butterfly carp.

His eyes were a little distracted as he watched the butterfly carp in the pond flapping its fins vigorously in competition for food.

The butterfly carp swims with graceful posture, swaying in the water, so beautiful that it seems like a dream.

Miaoyun, who was standing by, asked casually.

"Master, it's been more than half a month, are you really not going to coax His Majesty?"

"Eunuch Anshun has come to Kunning Palace to look for me many times. I heard that the atmosphere in Qianqing Palace is so solemn during this period that the palace servants dare not even breathe."

"There was a palace maid who served tea to His Majesty. Because her hands were shaken when she served tea to His Majesty, His Majesty mercilessly sent her out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity."

Miaoyun shook her head slightly as she spoke. For these palace servants, working in the Qianqing Palace was a lucrative job that everyone coveted, and it was a place that everyone was scrambling to get in.

"Eunuch Anshun has been asking me about your mood, but I didn't say anything. I just said that you have never been angry and are as kind as always."

When Miaoyun said the latter part, a smile appeared on her face.

The main reason was that she said the master was not angry and was kind, but Anshun didn't believe it at all.

But Anshun didn't dare to believe it. He was afraid that if he told His Majesty again about the Queen's mistakes, His Majesty would eat him alive.

"I am now the queen. As long as I don't make any mistakes, there is no need for me to keep coaxing Your Majesty. I am already exhausted physically and mentally from helping Your Majesty manage the affairs of the six palaces. Your Majesty should understand me."

As Su Jingyao spoke, she scattered some fish food into the pond calmly.

This was the time when Jun Zechen's feelings for her were the strongest. Su Jingyao couldn't think of a better time than this if she didn't make a fuss, put on airs, and let Jun Zechen completely break his bottom line.

What's more, even if she pissed off Jun Zechen, she had a big killer. Su Jingyao always left a way out for herself.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her slender and white hands like green onions gently stroked her belly, and her eyes revealed an unspeakable meaning.

"But master, it's not a good idea for you to continue to be in a stalemate with His Majesty like this." Miaoyun frowned with a hint of worry.

After all, Your Majesty is the emperor of a monarchy, and is always different from ordinary men.

"Has Your Majesty turned over the cards recently?" Su Jingyao asked calmly and casually.

Miaoyun was not able to react for a moment when her master suddenly changed the subject. After a while, she replied, "Your Majesty has been in a bad mood recently. Every day when the eunuchs from the Jingshifang come over, Your Majesty impatiently drives them away."

"That's right. Let's go to the Qianqing Palace and call the eunuch."

Su Jingyao handed the fish food in her hand to Miaoyun next to her. She moved slowly and clapped her hands gently.

Miaoyun was even more confused now, her eyes full of bewilderment.

What is the master up to?

Afterwards, Su Jingyao calmly returned to the palace to tidy up, and then walked towards the Qianqing Palace with Miaoyun in an elegant manner.

As soon as Anshun saw that the Empress had come to the Qianqing Palace in person, a smile instantly blossomed on his face like a flower, and with surprise in his eyes, he hurried into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here and is waiting outside." Anshun's voice was filled with irrepressible joy.

When Jun Zechen heard that the queen was coming, his body stiffened noticeably.

His eyes flashed a few times quickly, and then a hint of joy arose involuntarily in his heart, but his expression remained as calm as water, making it difficult to detect the fluctuations in his heart.

He coughed lightly, trying to make his voice sound calm, "Let the queen in."

Su Jingyao walked in with light steps, stood in front of the table, and saluted Jun Zechen, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Jun Zechen looked dimly at this person whom he hadn't seen for more than half a month. She was really cruel.

Jun Zechen suppressed the inexplicable joy in his heart and said calmly, "Why did the Queen come to the Qianqing Palace?"

"I heard that Your Majesty has been very busy with government affairs recently, so I specially sent you a bowl of ginseng soup."

Su Jingyao spoke gently, her voice as sweet as a clear spring. She then raised her hand and motioned for Miaoyun to serve the ginseng soup.

Anshun hurriedly took the ginseng soup respectfully and placed it in front of His Majesty. Jun Zechen first glanced at the ginseng soup, and then shifted his gaze to Su Jingyao who was smiling gently.

He thought she was going to ignore him forever.

Then he picked up the ginseng soup and took a sip.

"Yaoyao's ginseng soup is delicious, better than the one in the imperial kitchen." Jun Zechen's eyes were filled with satisfaction and pleasure.

Su Jingyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled. Haha, even the name has changed. I don’t know what he is fantasizing about.

But he still responded politely: "As long as your majesty likes it."

I'm so sorry, this is what the imperial kitchen made...

Su Jingyao still had a gentle smile on her face, as if in spring, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, are you busy these days?"

Her gaze fell softly on Jun Zechen, with just the right amount of concern in her eyes.

Jun Zechen looked at her intently, and the smile on his lips, which he had tried hard to suppress, was now difficult to suppress.

Does Yaoyao want him to accompany her today?

As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little more.

"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!

Xu Shi.

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 Qianqing Palace?"

After His Majesty ascended the throne, none of the concubines he summoned stayed in the Qianqing Palace, 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 Qianqing Palace, but he 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.
