The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

After Emperor Yong'an left, she felt really bored lying in bed alone. She couldn't fall asleep after waking up, so she wanted to get up and take a walk to see the room where he usually rested.

She got out of bed in her pajamas and smelled the clothes she had changed yesterday. The smell was really unpleasant. She didn't want to wear them again, so she had to go back to bed.

Aunt Cuihu, who was guarding outside the door, noticed the movement in the room and carefully went in to check.

"Miss, are you going to get up?"

Shen Leyan wrapped herself in the quilt, stuck her head out, looked at the familiar Aunt Cuihu in front of her, and nodded embarrassedly.

Cuihu smiled gently and said, "When the emperor left, he told the servants to prepare your clothes. I asked them to bring them in and help you change."

Shen Leyan blushed and nodded, "Sorry to bother you, auntie."

She clapped her hands and shouted outside, "Bring it in."

A group of palace servants came in in an orderly manner, holding clothes and various jewelry.

"This is a silk skirt with hundreds of butterflies embroidered in gold thread and cloud-like patterns. The emperor specifically ordered me to go to the Imperial Household Department to get it. The butterflies on it were all carefully crafted by the embroiderers using gold and silver threads. Even the flowers are embroidered to lifelike detail."

"Miss, you will look beautiful in this suit. Come and try it on." Cuihu had already imagined how she would look in it, and she couldn't wait.

It was the first time that Shen Leyan was helped to change clothes by so many people. Normally, she would dress herself at home, but today, she was a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many eyes.

Cuihu noticed her reservedness and considerately asked the others to put down their things and leave, leaving only two palace maids to help her change clothes and put on makeup.

Shen Leyan looked at her aunt gratefully and let them help her change into her dress. She was very shy throughout the whole process, especially the marks left on her body by Emperor Yong'an last night made her even more shy.

Aunt Rao Cuihu felt a little embarrassed when she saw this. No wonder the emperor didn't let them help serve. If she were a man, she would definitely want to hide Miss Shen.

She was also very happy in her heart. With Miss Shen by their side, the emperor would no longer be as lonely as before. The emperor finally met the person he wanted to be with.

She had to tell the Queen Mother this good news as soon as possible. If the Queen Mother knew that the two of them were progressing so smoothly, she would be so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

After changing her clothes, Shen Leyan turned around in front of the bronze mirror, her eyes curved into a crescent shape with joy. "It's just as my aunt said, it's really lifelike. The butterflies in it seem to be dancing."

"Miss, you are so beautiful! This dress is tailor-made for you. The Emperor will surely love it when he sees it when he returns later!"

Shen Leyan was happy but also worried about being too conspicuous: "It's just such an expensive skirt, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for me to wear it?"

"Miss, you are worrying too much. As long as the emperor likes and is happy, it will not be against the rules."

"But..." Never mind. She's already put it on. She'll wait until the Emperor takes a look. She's also looking forward to Emperor Yong'an's reaction...

But what he didn't expect was that when Emperor Yong'an came back and saw it, he was both happy and angry. He was angry of course because he was not the first one to see it, and he was really reluctant to send such a beautiful girl back.

But fortunately she was his, and he felt secretly happy in his heart that he could meet and possess her.

"Let me help you comb your hair into a beautiful bun." Aunt Cuihu looked at Shen Leyan with a loving face. She really liked this pretty girl and felt something very different when she called her for the first time.

The black hair was braided into braids, and silver butterflies decorated the hair. With a slight movement, it began to dance gracefully, lively and beautiful, which perfectly complemented the skirt on the body.

Aunt Cuihu was very satisfied with her masterpiece. She had lost her resistance to Shen Leyan's beauty. She could understand the emperor's thoughts very well...

After Shen Leyan finished dressing up, Emperor Yong'an had not returned yet, and she felt a little bored for a moment. After all, there were many people in the palace, and she didn't dare to walk around casually for fear of being discovered.

Aunt Cuihu accompanied her and comforted her, "The Emperor usually returns around this time. Perhaps something delayed him today, but he should be back soon. Miss, don't worry."

"Why don't you go for a stroll in the back garden? The Emperor will pass by here when he returns from court, so you can see him firsthand.

Shen Leyan thought this was a good suggestion and asked with great interest, "Is it far from here to the back garden?"

Aunt Cuihu knew her concerns and explained carefully: "The Qianqing Palace is just across a long corridor. Usually, only our people pass by there. The ordinary concubines dare not approach."

Shen Leyan nodded in relief and went to the back garden with Aunt Cuihu to wait for Emperor Yong'an to return.

The corridor is winding, with flowers of various colors planted on both sides. The shadows of the flowers are swaying, and butterflies of various colors are flying among the flowers, like elves in a fairyland, adding countless vitality to the corridor.

Shen Leyan strolled along the corridor, the fragrance of flowers was refreshing, and she felt that the scenery here was much more beautiful than the Imperial Garden.

When she reached the end of the corridor and chose a small path to stroll along, she heard faint voices coming from the main path beside her.

Emperor Yong'an is back?

Just as Shen Leyan was about to go back, she heard the woman's laughter again. She immediately stopped and pulled Aunt Cuihu back to the corner.

At this time, the man's voice sounded again. I don't know what he said, but judging from the voice, who else could it be but Emperor Yong'an who had not returned for so long?

But who is the woman who is laughing?

Shen Leyan was a little confused for a moment and decided to wait here to see if they would show up.

After waiting for a long time, I only saw Emperor Yong'an and Baoshun walk up the corridor until they disappeared around the corner...

Aunt Cuihu standing by probably already knew the identity of this person. Who else could appear here and chat with the emperor except the imperial concubine?

She didn't want to say anything more. After all, he was used to it in the palace. But at this moment, she felt a little sorry for the girl in front of her...

Although Shen Leyan hid it very well, Aunt Cuihu still noticed that she was a little depressed at the moment. After all, she was also serving in the imperial court, and at the beginning she followed the Empress Dowager, so she was very experienced.

She patted Shen Leyan's shoulder and comforted her, "If this servant is not mistaken, the one who was here just now should be the Imperial Concubine."

"The Empress has been confined to her house, and recently all matters in the palace have been handed over to the Imperial Concubine. She may have come to discuss some palace matters with the Emperor today."

Shen Leyan nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, auntie. I know."
