Wearing a book, hooking him up

Anshun just learned the news that the Queen was currently strolling leisurely in the Imperial Garden.

Anshun frowned slightly and blinked his eyes from time to time, as if he was thinking about something, and one hand unconsciously stroked the whisk in his hand.

Looking at His Majesty who was concentrating on dealing with memorials with a sullen face, Anshun couldn't help but murmur in his heart. His feet hesitated and his body swayed slightly.

I hesitated whether to inform His Majesty of the news.

In the past few days, His Majesty has summoned Concubine Shu to the Qianqing Palace every day, but each time he simply placed Concubine Shu alone in the west hall, while His Majesty himself slept in his own bedroom.

Your Majesty has been in a terrible mood these days, and Anshun has been racking his brains to think of a way to solve the problem.

After all, the palace maids in the Qianqing Palace had complained to him many times in private.

If this continues, the palace maids will not be able to bear it. They will suffer both mentally and physically.

The source of all this is the Queen Mother. If we want to resolve this matter, we may have to make the Queen Mother give in.

Your Majesty is the Emperor, how could you easily lose your noble dignity?

However, Anshun knew very well that the Queen was also an extremely arrogant person. If His Majesty did not take the initiative and hand over a ladder, the Queen would not be able to walk down.

Anshun shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he still had to give it a push.

So, he moved hesitantly towards His Majesty, trying his best to ignore the majestic aura of His Majesty that made people afraid to approach him.

He lowered his voice and said carefully, "Your Majesty, the Queen seems to be in a very good mood today. She is strolling in the Imperial Garden."

There was no emotion on Jun Zechen's face. He turned his head calmly and stared at Anshun with deep eyes.

"Do you want me to go to the Imperial Garden and deliberately meet the Queen?"

He is the emperor, he has done so much for her, he has punished Ling Yue and given her all kinds of things she likes, but she has no intention of reconciling with him at all.

"I dare not. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. I am the one who said too much."

When Anshun heard this, he was so frightened that his face changed immediately. He quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake in fear and trepidation.

Jun Zechen then continued to bury his head in dealing with memorials, but he could not fully concentrate his mind.

She really didn't care about him at all. He had summoned Concubine Shu for several days, but she didn't react at all. She was really a generous and good queen.

A quarter of an hour later, Jun Zechen looked at the memorial in front of him, but he couldn't concentrate on it no matter what he did, and he was extremely annoyed.

He bit his back teeth and said in a low voice, "Anshun, doesn't Concubine Shu like chrysanthemums? I will accompany her to the Imperial Garden for a stroll."

When Anshun heard this, he was completely stunned. He almost couldn't control the expression on his face, which was distorted with a hint of astonishment.

Royal Garden.

Jun Zechen stood in the center of the imperial garden, with his hands behind his back, his figure standing tall like a pine tree.

His face was stern and his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he was quietly waiting for something, or as if he was immersed in thought.

Anshun looked at the position chosen by His Majesty, how could he not understand it?

Your Majesty said that he would not come to the Imperial Garden to meet the Queen, but he came anyway? He also said that he was accompanying Concubine Shu.

This is the core area of ​​the Imperial Garden. No matter how the Queen strolls in the Imperial Garden, if she wants to return to Kunning Palace, she will eventually come here.

There was a bright smile on Concubine Shu's face.

She really didn't expect that His Majesty, who was always cold and indifferent, would personally bring her to visit the Imperial Garden today.

His Majesty's cold attitude towards her last night really frightened her, and she was always worried inside, but today His Majesty brought her to the Imperial Garden in such an abnormal way.

Does Your Majesty want to develop feelings with her?

"Your Majesty, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are so beautiful. In my country, you can't see such colorful scenery in winter." The clear and pleasant voice of Concubine Shu sounded.

At this time, large patches of chrysanthemums are blooming brilliantly, each flower is as big as a hydrangea, and the bright colors are particularly eye-catching in the sun.

Concubine Shu was wearing a thick palace dress today. The color of the dress was bright and eye-catching, which made her look very pretty and bright.

Her face was filled with an innocent smile that seemed to melt people's hearts. Her small and delicate facial features were exquisite and beautiful, especially her eyes as bright as stars, which were particularly eye-catching.

Jun Zechen seemed a little absent-minded, and only when Concubine Shu spoke to him did he slowly shift his gaze to her.

Shufei's personality is extremely lively. Her every smile, every move seems to be stepping on the bottom line of palace rules, but she will not cross the line.

His voice is crisp and clear, and his eyes are particularly bright and moving.

Jun Zechen looked at her and even felt that she was very similar to Yaoyao when she had just entered the East Palace, just as pure and flawless, as if he was her whole world.

Jun Zechen was slightly startled, then he retracted his gaze and looked elsewhere. No emotion could be detected in his deep eyes, which were like a bottomless pool.

Around him, the winter sun shone through the mottled leaves, forming patches of light and shadows. The breeze blew gently, blowing off a few petals, which floated slowly in the air.

Concubine Shu had long been accustomed to His Majesty's usual indifference. She still had a faint smile on her lips as she admired the picturesque scenery in the imperial garden.

Suddenly, she unexpectedly took Jun Zechen's hand and shook it gently, and said in a tender voice: "Your Majesty, the camellia flowers in front are so beautiful. Your Majesty, can you accompany me to take a look there?"

Jun Zechen suddenly felt a cool sensation on his hand, instantly bringing his wandering thoughts back.

He frowned slightly, slowly pulled his hand back without making a sound, and then put his hands behind his back.

There was a strange feeling in his heart, he didn't like these women touching him.

Then Jun Zechen walked towards the direction of the camellia that Concubine Shu pointed to as if nothing had happened.

Shufei looked at His Majesty's cold expression and his action of letting go of her hand, and a sense of loss welled up in her heart.

But she quickly concealed this sense of loss.

It doesn't matter, His Majesty will accept her one day.

Afterwards, Concubine Shu smiled brightly and followed closely behind His Majesty.

After walking a few steps, she arrived in front of the camellia. She bent down lightly, reached out her hand and picked a camellia.

The white flowers appear exceptionally pure in the sun, emitting bursts of elegant fragrance.

Her eyes sparkled, and she looked at His Majesty expectantly, smiling and saying, "Your Majesty, this camellia is really beautiful. How about pinning this flower in my hair?"

Jun Zechen frowned slightly and was about to refuse.

But at this moment, he saw a figure walking towards him slowly and leisurely from the side. It was the queen.

Jun Zechen's eyes flickered for a moment.

Su Jingyao was wearing a plain palace dress, which was soft in texture and embroidered with exquisite patterns, which were faintly visible in the sunlight.

She was wearing a fox fur coat, and the snow-white fur made her look even more elegant and holy.

Her face is exquisite and beautiful, her skin is as white as snow, and her big watery eyes are clear and moving, like two shining gems.

Jun Zechen's gaze stayed on Su Jingyao for a moment, then he took the camellia and put it in Shufei's hair.

Shufei did not see Su Jingyao on the other side. Because of Jun Zechen's actions at this time, surprise flashed in her eyes.

She asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, do I look good?"

Jun Zechen said "hmm" lightly.

However, the corner of his eyes was always fixed on the queen, who was wearing a plain palace dress and a fox fur cloak.

Su Jingyao, who was walking slowly over, took in all of Jun Zechen's actions and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

It's so childish.

This is the biggest misunderstanding between men and women. When a woman is pursued passionately by multiple men, it will indeed stimulate the possessiveness and initiative of most men.

However, when a man tries to treat a woman in the same way, most women will avoid him.

Su Jingyao always maintained a smile as warm as the spring breeze. She walked in front of Jun Zechen, bowed slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Jun Zechen lowered his head, his eyes fell on the top of her head, and said in a light tone: "Get up."

After Su Jingyao stood up, Concubine Shu also bowed to her and said respectfully: "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Please get up, Concubine Shu. You look so charming and lovely today, and you are even more beautiful with the camellia in your hair." Su Jingyao said softly with a smile on her face.

Afterwards, Su Jingyao walked towards Concubine Shu with light steps and said softly, "I just don't know how Your Majesty arranged the flowers for Concubine Shu. It turned out to be a little off. Let me help Concubine Shu arrange them."

As she spoke, Su Jingyao walked in front of Concubine Shu. The two were very close to each other. Su Jingyao was tall to begin with, so she easily adjusted the position of the camellia in Concubine Shu's hair.

Shufei was so surprised that her eyes widened. She never expected that the queen would be so close to her.

She looked at the queen up close in a daze, and felt that the queen seemed even more beautiful.

Shufei has been in the harem for several months. She has seen almost all the concubines, but none of them can compare to the beauty of the Empress.

After Su Jingyao adjusted herself, she took a step back lightly, still smiling gently, looking at Concubine Shu with soft eyes, and said softly: "She is really a beauty."

Then she said to Jun Zechen, "Your Majesty is in a good mood and you have Concubine Shu to accompany you. I will not disturb Your Majesty and will return to Kunning Palace now."

Su Jingyao slightly bent her legs and bowed, "I'll take my leave."

After saying that, she turned around, her skirt fluttering, and left gracefully.

From the moment Su Jingyao walked over, Jun Zechen had been clenching his right hand tightly behind his back, with the veins on the back of his hand slightly bulging, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.

His face was tense and he tried hard to control his expression. His eyes flickered with complex lights, showing reluctance, pain, and deep attachment.

Because in Su Jingyao's eyes, Jun Zechen was no longer the same as before.

In the past, her eyes were passionate and bright, as energetic as the rising sun, and as bright and flawless as the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

But now, in her, he could only see the virtue and dignity that belonged to a queen, nothing else.

Jun Zechen stared at Su Jingyao's gradually receding back, his eyes full of loneliness and disbelief.

Does she really not care about herself now?

Are you really so determined?

Concubine Shu didn't notice Jun Zechen's abnormality at all, and still asked softly with an obedient face: "Your Majesty, it's almost time for dinner. Will Your Majesty go to Yongning Palace for dinner?"

Jun Zechen came back to his senses, and his eyes became unusually cold.

"I suddenly remembered that I still have some unfinished business to deal with. Concubine Shu, please go back."

Concubine Shu opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when her eyes met His Majesty's face, which was so cold that it was almost without a trace of warmth, the words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.

I could only say obediently, "Yes, Your Majesty, you must have dinner even though you are busy with state affairs. I will take my leave."

Jun Zechen nodded, then turned around and walked away without looking back. Concubine Shu also turned around and left with a confused and lonely look on her face.
