The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

"I know about you, Sister Shangguan, but the Empress Dowager has always treated you like her own daughter. How could she not be worried? Why don't you write her a letter?"

"I'm planning to go to the palace tomorrow and give it to her. What do you think?"

"Okay, I'll go write it now, wait for me."

Shen Leyan was grinding ink for Shangguan Yueyin as she usually did at home.

"The willow branches are soft and the shayin is delicate."

"Sister Shangguan's calligraphy is as beautiful as its name suggests, soft and lively."

Shangguan Yueyin smiled. She was now used to her praise, because in her heart Shen Leyan was just as beautiful.

"Are you going to the palace tomorrow just to deliver something to the Empress Dowager?"

Shen Leyan became a little nervous when she saw her honest confession: "I... of course I am delivering something."

She raised her eyebrows: "Sister Le Yan is just going to see the Queen Mother, why are you so nervous and blushing?"

"me…"

"Oh! Sister Shangguan, can't I just tell you the truth?"

After hearing this, Shangguan Yueyin was slightly surprised, then the corners of her mouth turned up, and she smiled a little cunningly: "You should have told me earlier."

"I never intended to hide it from Sister Shangguan, I just didn't know how to bring it up, and I only recently realized my feelings."

"I know. Back then at Lingquan Mountain, I thought you and the young master of the Bai family were a couple, and I wanted to create opportunities for you."

Shen Leyan couldn't help but smile as she thought of the scene at that time: "At that time, our two families were planning to discuss an engagement. Fortunately, I told my mother in advance, otherwise it would have been difficult."

"Of course, but the matter of Lingquan Mountain must not be known to my cousin the Emperor, otherwise he will definitely hate me to death."

"I dare not tell him, or I will be in trouble."

Little did she know that Emperor Yong'an had already known about it, but how could he dare to do anything to her now? He was remembering every detail in his mind.

Shen Leyan finally realized later that men's words can lie.

She never dreamed that she would suffer such a miserable fate. She really had no answer from heaven or earth and could only be pinned down by him...

"That day, I saw you two coming out of the same room. I was a little worried, but then I realized that your relationship seemed a little unusual, and then I realized that I was worrying too much."

"I was wondering how the Emperor, who is so busy with all sorts of affairs, could suddenly find time to attend to our family affairs. And he was so easy to talk to that day. It turns out the answer lies with you!"

Shen Leyan felt a little embarrassed for a moment: "Sister Shangguan..."

She smiled and continued to explain, "Sister Le Yan, you don't know, but in the past, I rarely saw my cousin the Emperor except at my aunt's palace, and we never spoke to him."

"Of course, I rarely heard him speak. His supreme imperial majesty seemed to make him a man of few words."

"So even though he's my cousin, I always feel scared when I face him. Does Le Yan feel the same way?"

Shen Leyan was about to nod, but after recalling what had happened between the two of them, she shook her head and said, "I was scared at first, but after spending a few times together, I wasn't so scared anymore."

Shangguan Yueyin asked curiously, "When you two are together, what topics do you talk about? Is the Emperor also a man of few words?"

"Not really. He seems to talk more than I do. It seems like I'm the one who keeps quiet most of the time."

Shangguan Yueyin felt that she already had a picture of the two of them in her mind, and for a moment she found it very funny: "It is just as my aunt said, the emperor has finally met someone who can subdue him."

"I didn't know the reason at the time, but it turns out Sister Le Yan was the one who subdued the Emperor."

Shen Leyan was a little confused: "Does the Queen Mother know about this too?"

She was upset for a while because of the Empress Dowager's matter. She didn't know how to tell her and was afraid that she would not be able to accept the fact that she was with the Emperor.

"Of course she knows, silly sister. How could you possibly hide it from her?"

"Although I have often mentioned you to her before, the Queen Mother has been in the palace for so many years, and there are not many people who can enter her heart so quickly."

"Giving you the token on our first meeting shows that she already considers you family. Besides her love and approval for you, the Emperor must also be a factor."

"I understand. I was worried that the Empress Dowager would be angry and sad when she found out. The Emperor didn't even tell me, making me worry for nothing!" Shen Leyan was relieved but also a little angry with Emperor Yong'an.

"Auntie is so happy, how could she be angry with you?"

Shangguan Yueyin was also a little confused. Why did the emperor hide this from Le Yan? Was he deliberately trying to tease Le Yan? Was this still the emperor cousin she knew?

She herself was quite ignorant about the relationship between men and women, but she found it very interesting to watch others talk about it, and she never mind talking about it:

"If the Emperor bullies you in the future, you can go tell the Empress Dowager. In the palace, the Empress Dowager is the only one he listens to."

"However, judging by the current situation, I don't think the Emperor can dote on you soon enough!"

"Even the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, I have never seen my aunt and the Emperor treat them this way."

Shen Leyan became curious when she heard this. She didn't know much about the palace. She only heard that the most favored person was the imperial concubine. What was the emperor like before?

Shangguan Yueyin had often been to the palace since she was a child. In addition, where there are many women, there are also many disputes. So although she did not know everything that happened in the palace, she had a general idea of ​​it.

These are all dirty intrigues among women, so the emperor simply doesn't enter the harem. It was originally for the country, but they still make trouble for no reason.

For the sake of her good sister's happiness, she told Shen Leyan everything she knew as gossip, so that Shen Leyan could make plans early in the future.

What if she knew nothing and was used as a gun?

The more Shangguan Yueyin spoke, the more worried she became about her future situation. How could a simple and kind-hearted girl like her be a match for those women?

Shen Leyan saw her worry and took her hand to comfort her: "Sister Shangguan, don't worry. Since you have chosen this path, I have already made plans."

"Don't worry, I will protect myself. Besides, I have the Empress Dowager's support. The Emperor also told me not to think about anything, he will take care of everything."

Shangguan Yueyin finally felt relieved, and at the same time she vaguely knew what the emperor's promise meant - the position of queen.

She wanted to tell Shen Leyan, but she was afraid that her guess was inaccurate and she would be disappointed.

In the end, she still held back, but in her heart, Shen Leyan was the only choice for the queen.
