The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor
Chapter 32 Dinner at 1st
However, the Queen Mother was happy to see this happen.
I like Shen Leyan more and more in my heart, because she is a complete beauty-obsessed person.
Seeing that lunch time was approaching, Shen Leyan stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave the palace.
The Empress Dowager wanted to ask her to stay and have lunch together later, so she quickly turned around and signaled Emperor Yong'an, who was silent beside her, to speak.
Emperor Yong'an certainly didn't want her to leave so soon. They had finally met, and it was unknown when they would meet again as they were separated by a palace gate.
Smiling, she said, "Miss Shen, why don't you stay for lunch before leaving? The Queen Mother has a connection with you and she is reluctant to let you go."
"On weekdays, apart from Yueyin who would come to the palace to accompany her, there was no one around her who could talk to her..."
"Yes, I felt very close to you the first time I called you this child. Would you please stay a little longer to accompany me?"
Seeing that the emperor and the empress dowager had talked to this point, Shen Leyan couldn't refuse anymore. Besides, she liked the empress dowager's personality very much.
Although she looks majestic, it is not difficult to find out after getting along with her for a while that she is also an innocent and active person. She must have been extremely beautiful when she was young.
"It is a blessing for me to be able to accompany the Empress Dowager, so I will respectfully obey your command." Shen Leyan knelt slightly in salute.
The Empress Dowager beamed with joy and quickly had the meal served. She arranged for Shen Leyan to sit next to her, while Emperor Yong'an sat on the other side.
During the meal, the Queen Mother kept picking up dishes for Shen Leyan, wishing she could taste every dish.
In a short while, a small mountain of food piled up in Shen Leyan's small bowl.
"Mother, let Miss Shen eat some first, or she'll be full soon."
"What do you know? Look at this child, she's so skinny, she should eat more. You guys are all on an excessive diet just to maintain your figure, and Yueyin is the same."
"In my opinion, you'd look better if you ate more and became plumper."
"Thank you, Queen Mother. Actually, I eat quite a lot on a normal day, so don't worry!"
Emperor Yong'an agreed with this point very much. The last time he saw her, she seemed to be... quite... able to eat, and her figure seemed to be very good as well.
Although he looked thin, he had all the flesh where it should be. He still remembers it vividly.
Shen Leyan blushed when she was stared at by Emperor Yong'an's glaring gaze. She remembered that she had indeed eaten a lot of dinner in the tent last time...
But that was because she was really hungry... She definitely couldn't eat that much on normal days!
After lunch, Shen Leyan accompanied the empress dowager for a walk in the garden to digest the food, while Emperor Yong'an returned to the imperial study to handle state affairs.
The two of them strolled among the flowers. The Queen Mother asked about some trivial matters in Shen Leyan's daily life and was very concerned about her life.
The Queen Mother was very envious of Madam Shen for having such a beautiful and sensible daughter like Shen Leyan. She always regretted that she did not have a daughter to be around all the time. Although her son was very promising, he was not very close to her when he grew up.
So she always treated Yueyin as her own daughter. Although she was the queen mother, she had many things that were beyond her control.
Especially when it comes to matters concerning the Shangguan family and the emperor's harem, she is in a dilemma. So she simply doesn't care about anything now. Not causing more trouble is the best way for the emperor.
"You must come to the palace often to accompany me. I am extremely bored in this deep palace."
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. I will definitely do it."
"As soon as my lip balm is ready, I'll give it to you to try. Sister Shangguan and I will come to see you later."
"Okay, okay, you are all good kids."
"Your Majesty, it's time for your nap."
"Let's go back to the palace. I'm really tired."
After Shen Leyan escorted the Queen Mother back to her bedroom, she stood up and said goodbye, "Then I will not disturb your nap, Queen Mother. I will come to see you again in a while."
"Okay, I'll call you Le Yan from now on."
"Xiaoxue, go and get Ai's token to Le Yan."
"With this token, it will be convenient for you to enter and leave the palace. I gave one to you and Yueyin. You should also come to accompany me often like that child."
Shen Leyan replied with a smile: "Leyan obeys! You must take good care of yourself in the palace."
After Shen Leyan left the Queen Mother's bedroom, she thought that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who brought her into the palace after all, so she should tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before leaving the palace.
Not long after she and Zhiyue walked out of the gate of Shoukang Palace, they met Eunuch Baoshun who was standing beside the emperor.
"Hello, Miss Shen. The Emperor has arranged for me to wait for you here."
"The Emperor said that Miss Shen should go to the Imperial Study first and then be escorted out of the palace later."
"Did the Emperor say what he was going to do in the Imperial Study?"
"This servant doesn't know either. Miss Shen will find out when she goes there."
"Has Eunuch Baoshun met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"When this servant left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still in the Imperial Study."
Shen Leyan frowned slightly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also there. Could it be that the Emperor wanted to talk to her about his brother and Sister Shangguan?
Shen Leyan was brought to the imperial study by Baoshun in a short while, but she did not see the prince at that time.
After she finished paying her respects to Emperor Yong'an, she asked doubtfully, "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left?"
"You care about the prince?"
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. This is not your intention."
"It's just that I was brought into the palace by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I will only leave the palace after I tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Oh, he's gone already. I have other things for him to do."
"I wonder if the Emperor has anything else to ask of you?"
Emperor Yong'an paused while reviewing the memorial. He hadn't thought of a reason yet, he just didn't want her to leave so soon.
After all, as the emperor, he cannot leave the palace at will, and she cannot enter the palace at will either.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to stay with her for a while longer. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt relieved a little, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This time it was all thanks to the prince.
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak for a long time, Shen Leyan called out tentatively.
"emperor?"
"Ok?"
"Hmm what?" Shen Leyan simply stood aside and stopped talking.
"Come and help me grind the ink."
Although Shen Leyan was reluctant, he still did it, because he was the emperor.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero!
Neither of them spoke for a moment, and the study suddenly became quiet with only the sounds of flipping through memorials and the sound of grinding ink.
When Shen Leyan felt her hands were sore and weak, the memorials on Emperor Yong'an's desk were finally cleared. Although she did not dare to pay attention to the content of the memorials, she observed the handwriting he had written...
His handwriting is elegant and graceful, which is in stark contrast to his gentle appearance.
But the handwriting is beautiful, and the person is beautiful too...
Emperor Yong'an noticed her gaze, raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Yan'er, do you like my handwriting?"
Shen Leyan suddenly felt as if her secrets had been exposed. Her heart was pounding, and she stammered, "No... No way!"
