The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Leyan felt that she was really ill, and secretly wanted to ask the miracle doctor to come and check her brain.

How could she not remember when she had promised the Crown Prince to go to the palace and the Imperial Garden? She still couldn't figure it out until the carriage drove into the palace gate.

The prince ordered a passing palace maid to take Shen Leyan to the imperial garden, while he himself walked towards the imperial study where the emperor was.

In the imperial study room.

Bao Shun stepped forward cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Shen has entered the palace."

Emperor Yong'an immediately closed the memorial in his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly in shock.

"Then where is she now?"

"Just now, my servants reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought Miss Shen into the palace, and they should be in the Imperial Garden now."

Emperor Yong'an's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Crown Prince? What exactly is going on?"

"News from outside the palace says that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the Prime Minister's residence today to discuss matters. He ran into Miss Shen in the garden and they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation... The... The Crown Prince brought Miss Shen back to the palace after he finished his business."

Emperor Yong'an sneered, "We had a pleasant conversation? What a pleasant conversation."

Baoshun looked at his emperor's face and instantly became angry. He immediately knelt down and begged the emperor to calm down.

"The spy didn't dare get too close. Perhaps the two of them just exchanged a few words. Or perhaps Miss Shen was forced by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How about I go and invite Miss Shen over?"

"After entering the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince separated from Miss Shen and went straight to the Imperial Study. Perhaps Miss Shen came to the palace for something."

Emperor Yong'an pondered for a moment and then ordered, "Forget it. I'm tired from reviewing memorials, so I'm going to take a walk in the Imperial Garden. You stay here. When the Crown Prince arrives, have him wait at the gate."

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Baoshun sent the emperor away with concern. Thinking about how the emperor had been very busy recently, all because of Miss Shen, he couldn't help but feel a lot of dissatisfaction with Miss Shen.

I hope things are not what he thinks...Thinking of the emperor's intentions, Baoshun let out a long sigh.

After Emperor Yong'an arrived at the Imperial Garden, he looked around and found that the person he was thinking of did not seem to be there.

Shen Leyan looked at the flowers in the garden and didn't know what to do. Besides, she didn't know which ones could be moved and which ones could not be moved. She was most afraid of trouble and didn't want to get involved.

I continued walking along the path for a while, and sure enough, I saw her sitting on the swing, laughing heartily. Who else could it be but her?

The coldness in his eyes gradually faded, and his eyes were filled with tenderness and doting.

He walked towards her slowly, coughed lightly, and said with a slightly surprised look: "Yan'er?"

Shen Leyan was startled when she suddenly heard the familiar voice and immediately jumped off the swing.

Zhiyue behind him was so scared that she hurried to help him, but Emperor Yong'an in front of her got there first.

He hugged the woman he had been thinking about into his arms, and his arms gradually tightened as if he was afraid that she would fall.

Shen Leyan was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she was being held by the emperor and began to struggle to get up.

He knew it was against the law, but he seemed to lose control easily in front of her. In the end, he let go with the last bit of his will.

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor."

"No need to be polite, just get up."

He sighed, "Am I a monster? How could I scare you so much?"

Shen Leyan quickly put away the wild thoughts in her mind and said a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, how could he be a scourge? It's my fault. I was distracted just now and got scared."

Emperor Yong'an looked at her shy appearance and couldn't help but feel moved. He asked softly, "Why are you here?"

Shen Leyan was a little overwhelmed by this question and opened her mouth awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I just happened to need some flowers. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom, so by chance he was kind enough to bring me here."

Good intentions? Obviously, they have bad intentions!

Emperor Yong'an snorted inwardly, then said calmly, "The flowers in the Imperial Garden are indeed in full bloom. Feel free to pick whatever you need."

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Leyan's eyes, and then the corners of her mouth curled up as she asked with a smile, "Can we pick them all? Are there any forbidden flowers?"

"Of course, just pick whatever you like." Emperor Yong'an couldn't say no to her at all, and he just wanted to give her everything.

"Just tell me what you need, and I'll send someone to get it for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Don't bother. I'll just go around and pick some if I find something suitable."

"That's fine. I'm just tired of reviewing memorials, so I'll just go strolling around the Imperial Garden with you."

The two walked side by side, strolling among the flowers. Somehow, Shen Leyan didn't seem to be as afraid of Emperor Yong'an's approach as she was at the beginning.

On the contrary, I feel particularly at ease with him around, as if I am very safe.

The two of them talked more frequently, and their conversations became less reserved and more relaxed.

Shen Leyan suddenly thought of the relationship between Sister Shangguan and Emperor Yong'an, and asked boldly: "I wonder what the emperor thinks of Sister Shangguan?"

Emperor Yong'an was stunned by the question, "Shangguan Yueyin?"

"I only treat her as my cousin. Are you very familiar with her?"

"Well, even though we haven't known each other for long, I already treat her like my own sister."

Emperor Yong'an frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Shen Leyan and Shangguan Yueyin had such a good relationship.

He stopped and looked into the distance thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, he said, "My cousin is kind and simple by nature, but sometimes she is too stubborn."

"My mother misses her very much and is worried that she will suffer injustice in the future. That's why she even considered letting her enter the palace to ensure her a safe and secure life."

"However, I feel that her entering the palace will only waste his life. I hope she can find a good man and live a happy and stable life."

Shen Leyan nodded and said with a smile: "Sister Shangguan is such a good person, she will definitely meet her destiny."

"To be honest, Your Majesty, this minister's brother has been concerned about Sister Shangguan for many years, and it was he who told this minister some of the things about Sister Shangguan."

"Oh? Master Shen and Le Yin, is there any story between them?"

Shen Leyan understood that opportunity does not wait for anyone, so she wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to tell the emperor, otherwise it would be too late after Sister Shangguan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got engaged.

Although her brother has not yet expressed his feelings to Sister Shangguan, she wants to create opportunities and time for them.

Maybe I can ask the emperor to grant the marriage at that time, and then Lord Shangguan will not disagree with my brother.

"Brother said that Sister Shangguan saved him several times, when he was a child and Daddy was not yet the Prime Minister..."

"And later, when my brother got lost in the palace, it was Sister Shangguan who helped him out..."

"Also... my brother said Sister Shangguan also helped many poor families..."
