Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

A woman takes the initiative to pick up food for a man.

Tong Le also realized that something was wrong, but she couldn't help herself. After all, Ye Chen was the first man other than her father who was willing to sit with her.

Even her brother would be scolded by her father when she wanted to sit with him.

Besides, Tong Le is already fifteen years old, which is the age when girls are in love.

It is inevitable that love will come first.

Seeing all this, Mo Rou couldn't help but frown.

She suddenly felt inferior.

Because in her opinion, Tong Le and Ye Chen are more like family.

Not only was she Tong Le's sister-in-law, but she also had a fiancé and even lived with him.

To outsiders, she was an unclean woman and a widow.

She asked herself if she was worthy of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen did not notice the change in Mo Rou's expression at this time. Even though Mo Rou had been standing quietly by the side and even deliberately kept a distance from Ye Chen, Ye Chen just thought that she was embarrassed and did not think much about it.

And after finishing the meal.

Ye Chen took Mo Rou and Tong Le out of the cold palace, and asked someone to get a carriage to take the two women to the palace gate.

"After you leave the palace to open a shop, no matter what problems you encounter, you can come to me. I still say the same thing. As long as I am here, I will not let you be bullied."

When Ye Chen said goodbye to Tong Le and Mo Rou, he said to the two women.

"Thank you, Lord Ye."

Mo Rou lowered her eyes and said, "I've really troubled you these days."

"Ok?"

Ye Chen frowned slightly, and could feel the politeness in Mo Rou's words.

It seemed that the relationship between Mo Rou and him had suddenly become much more distant.

Is it because I'm too shy?

Ye Chen felt that something was wrong.

"Brother Ye, if you have time, come to my shop and I'll make you something delicious."

Tong Le suddenly said to Ye Chen.

There was still a clear reluctance in the little girl's eyes when she looked at Ye Chen.

Hearing this, Ye Chen's mouth corners quickly rose.

"Okay, I promise you, I will definitely visit you when I have time in the future."

"Ok!"

The carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate.

Ye Chen watched the carriage go away.

I suddenly felt a little empty inside.

Then, he planned to return to the Yangxin Palace.

But Cheng'en had just sent the emperor's ceremonial guards.

Shen Qiu arrived suddenly.

"Your Majesty, are you leaving the palace?"

"No, I'm just sending Tong Le and his sister-in-law."

When Ye Chen saw Shen Qiu, his eyes suddenly lit up.

At this time, Shen Qiu was wearing a light blue brocade skirt and a silver hairpin in her hair. She had a cool and elegant temperament, and was extraordinary and otherworldly.

Gorgeous and charming.

"Oh, then I will take Your Majesty back."

Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists.

"Ah."

After Ye Chen got on the sedan chair, he waved to Shen Qiu.

"Qiu'er, come up and sit with me."

Hearing this, Shen Qiu bit his lip.

"Your Majesty, I will just stay down there."

"How can that be, Qiu'er? You are responsible for protecting me. If you are not by my side, and something special happens and I am in danger, but you are too late to rescue me, what should I do?"

Ye Chen patted the empty seat beside him in dissatisfaction.

"Come up quickly."

"obedient."

Hearing this, Shen Qiu bit his lip.

She felt a little embarrassed and thought Ye Chen had bad intentions.

The palace today is not what it was a few months ago. After several rounds of purges, even if there are still spies among the powerful officials, their number is definitely very small.

The possibility of Ye Chen encountering danger was therefore reduced to a minimum.

But even if the possibility is low, it is not impossible.

Shen Qiu really couldn't defend himself against Ye Chen's words.

Finally, Shen Qiu sighed softly.

"Your Majesty, I will come up now."

"Come on, come on, come quickly."

Ye Chen was a little impatient.

Shen Qiu jumped onto the sedan chair.

As the emperor's ceremonial vehicle, the sedan chair is naturally very wide.

It doesn't feel crowded even for two people to sit there.

Ye Chen was in a good mood, so he said to Shen Qiu: "Qiu'er, you have to stay closer to me, so that when you encounter danger, you can take action as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Shen Qiu looked at Ye Chen with a sudden hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, don't you trust me? We're only this short distance away. No matter how dangerous the situation, I'm sure I can react quickly!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen touched his nose. He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to hug Shen Qiu in his arms.

At this point, I can only give up.

After all, he wasn't one to force himself on a woman.

"Qiu'er, I have been practicing the Kung Fu you taught me these days. When you are free, please come and give me some more guidance."

".promise."

"One more thing, Qiu'er. The imperial kitchen has recently made several new snacks for me. They all taste very good. Please accompany me to try them today."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He had figured out Shen Qiu's taste after exploring it over the past few days.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Yes."

Seeing that Shen Qiu agreed, Ye Chen's mouth corners slightly raised, but before he could take a further step to get closer to Shen Qiu in order to improve their relationship, Na Cheng'en suddenly came to the side of the sedan chair.

"Your Majesty, the Supervisory Office sent a letter saying it was written by General Di."

"It is said that Kou Yu made some unusual moves today."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately put away his smile and took the letter with a serious look on his face.
