The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Shen Leyan came to the study with a guilty conscience, "Dad, you're looking for me?"

Father Shen put down the brush in his hand and said happily, "Yan'er is back, please sit down."

Then he casually asked, "Did you go to Miss Shangguan's place again today?"

Shen Leyan hesitated for two seconds, afraid of being exposed, but still shook her head: "My daughter went to the Queen Mother's palace today."

"You also entered the palace today?" Father Shen was a little surprised. Why didn't anyone tell him?

"Sister Shangguan wrote a letter for me to give to the Empress Dowager. She has been busy taking care of Madam Shangguan recently and is not able to come to the palace."

"It just so happened that my daughter was in the palace last time and won the favor of the Queen Mother. She promised to send her some makeup items, so I went to the palace today."

Father Shen nodded to indicate that he understood. He had vaguely heard his wife mention this matter before.

"People in the palace are complicated. Why didn't you tell your father when you entered the palace?"

"My daughter left in a hurry this morning and only told mother, thinking she would tell father!"

"Nothing. Your mother may have been too busy today and forgot. I am mainly worried that you might get hurt in the palace."

Of course, Mrs. Shen would not tell Shen's father about this. In order to help Shen Leyan keep it secret, she stayed in the room for the whole afternoon. When Shen's father came back, she hadn't gotten up yet, just to avoid him.

"Don't worry, Daddy, nothing's wrong with my daughter!"

"I'm glad you're okay. If you've ever been wronged, just tell me. Daddy will definitely take care of it for you!"

Thinking of the emperor's attitude today, Father Shen began to feel fortunate again. He had indeed not misjudged the emperor. All his patience during this period was worth it!

"My daughter knows."

But she thought that she wouldn't be able to endure any grievances in the palace now, and no one would bully her except Emperor Yong'an...

"If you encounter any difficulties in the palace in the future, you can also ask the emperor for help."

"I will ask the emperor to take good care of you. He will definitely agree for my father's sake!"

"No need, Daddy." Shen Leyan quickly refused, "I mean, there's no need to trouble the Emperor. The Empress Dowager loves me very much and will take care of me."

She couldn't even imagine how the Emperor would look after her... If her father knew the truth, he would definitely regret it...

"By the way, did you hear anything in the palace today?"

"Yan'er was in the Empress Dowager's palace talking with her. After she finished, she left the palace and didn't hear anything."

Knowing that the Empress Dowager had not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time, Shen's father briefly told Shen Leyan what happened when he entered the palace.

When Shen Leyan came back, she had learned almost everything from Butler Zhang, but she didn't expect that the Queen and the Crown Prince were both under house arrest. Doesn't that mean that the Imperial Concubine will start to rise again in the future?

Does the emperor want to use the Ye family to suppress the queen and the Lu family?

But as far as she knew, the Lu family's current followers and combined strength far exceeded that of the Ye family, not to mention that the eldest prince was still under house arrest and General Ye was still fighting at the border.

Mr. Shen originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask his daughter about her true thoughts on lifelong affairs. Although the prince did not succeed this time, he was still a little uneasy.

Especially when he entered the palace and saw the emperor, he always felt that something was going to happen, but the emperor's attitude really surprised him.

It was worth it that he only trusted the emperor from the beginning to the end. From his recklessness when he succeeded to the throne at a young age to his current strategic planning, the emperor really did not let him down for his following and dedication over the years.

He wanted to ask several times, but he couldn't get the question out. Well, let his wife ask it. It would be better for his daughter to discuss these things with her mother now that she has grown up.

Finally, he talked about some of the court situations that Shen Leyan was more concerned about, which could also be used as a reference for her. In the future, she should not consider anyone from the Prince's Party.

It turned out that they had received news that General Ye had defeated the Dongli Kingdom and would be returning to the capital soon. How could the Lu family sit idly by when Ye Huan returned to the capital?

"Father, now that General Ye is about to return to the capital, the Ye family's influence in the court will surely increase greatly."

"With the Queen and the Crown Prince under house arrest, the Imperial Concubine's clan will certainly become arrogant, and how can the Lu family stand by and watch the eldest prince's party rise again?" Shen Leyan analyzed.

Father Shen nodded in agreement, "Yes, I think so too."

"But let them fight as they please. I, as a father, can breathe a sigh of relief. Shangguan Rui won't have to keep biting me."

He has been feeling really aggrieved in the court during this period. Shangguan Rui keeps targeting him whenever things go wrong at home. It's really hateful!

In the future, he will definitely give him a lecture for being so foolish and unjust!

Shen Leyan smiled and comforted him, "Dad, just watch the fire from the other side from now on. When two tigers fight, one will inevitably get hurt. You don't have to get involved."

"Of course I know, but I don't know why the emperor did this."

Shen Leyan had a vague understanding in her heart, but she couldn't say much, so as not to arouse her father's suspicion. She just had to make sure her family was safe.

Then he made an excuse and left, and the first thing he did when he returned to his room was to take a shower and change clothes.

Although Emperor Yong'an helped her wash her body today, she felt his scent all over her body after waking up from a nap and making some noise again in the afternoon, especially on her hands...

Caiyue and Zhiyue helped her water and massage her. Seeing the young lady's fair skin covered with red marks, they both felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

I couldn't help but blame the emperor for treating the young lady like this, not knowing how to be gentle with women...

In fact, he really didn't use much force, but Shen Leyan's skin was so delicate that a little force would leave a red mark, and after being soaked in hot water, it looked very scary.

"Fortunately you guys weren't outside today, otherwise it would have been terrible if Dad had caught us."

Caiyue said happily: "Fortunately, Lord Baoshun asked us to go to the side hall to wait for the young lady, otherwise we might really run into the master."

"Maybe it's because the emperor knew that the master was coming, so he asked us to go to the side hall!" Zhiyue also looked relieved.

Shen Leyan nodded. "In short, you must be careful. Especially when I'm not with you, you must be extremely alert."

"I understand, miss. Don't worry." The two responded in unison.

After taking a bath, Shen Leyan sat on the dressing table and began to take care of her skin. She also applied a layer of beautifying cream on her body. Zhiyue gently braided her hair behind her and carefully used some gardenia essential oil.

"Okay, Miss, how about you smell it?"

Shen Leyan picked up a strand of hair and sniffed it, then smiled and said, "Zhiyue is really my sweet little baby."

Caiyue, who was making the bed, pouted and said, "Miss, your heart changes so quickly!"

Shen Leyan smiled and quickly comforted her, "Caiyue is also my sweet little darling. Your lady loves you two the most!"

Caiyue was quickly comforted and jumped over with a happy face: "Then from now on, Miss, no matter where you go, you must take us with you. We will follow you for the rest of our lives!"

"Of course! You can stay with me forever and leave when you want to get married."

"I don't want to get married!"

"The same goes for this servant. I just want to stay with you forever."

"You say this now, but maybe I won't let you get married later!"

The three of them joked and laughed together. Their relationship was never just that of an ordinary master and servant. Shen Leyan had long regarded them as sisters.
