The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Along the way, Shen Leyan was chattering with Shangguan Yueyin, and Emperor Yong'an just listened quietly on the side, sometimes smiling along.

Shangguan Yueyin felt that Emperor Yong'an seemed to be becoming more and more approachable, and she would even call him cousin in private.

After the carriage arrived at the palace, when getting off, Emperor Yong'an whispered a few words in Shen Leyan's ear, causing her nervous face to suddenly turn red.

She was still curious on the way. Seeing that Emperor Yong'an had not made any movement, was she overthinking it?

Did he really just want her and Sister Yueyin to spend some quality time with the Empress Dowager today?

Unexpectedly, he only gave her half an hour before coming to pick her up.

This is too much!

How could she suddenly leave with him in front of the Empress Dowager and Sister Yueyin?

Shen Leyan pouted, looking like she was refusing.

But Emperor Yong'an didn't give her any chance to refuse and just walked away with a smile.

Shangguan Yueyin noticed that her expression suddenly looked a little off, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, sister Le Yan?"

"Sister Yueyin, I'm fine. I might have been sitting in the carriage for too long and feel a little uncomfortable."

Shangguan Yueyin patted her back and said, "It's getting hot now, and the heat is quite severe. You've been sitting in the carriage for a long time, but it will be fine in a while."

"If you really feel uncomfortable, why don't we rest for a while before going to Shoukang Palace."

Shen Leyan shook her head. "No need, Sister Yueyin. Let's go pay our respects to the Queen Mother first. I'm fine."

Shen Leyan's back teeth were clenched at this moment. She was afraid that if they delayed any longer, Emperor Yong'an would come to pick her up as soon as they arrived at Shoukang Palace...

After the two of them arrived at Shoukang together, the Empress Dowager had just woken up from her nap and was changing her clothes.

The two of them were in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, helping her dress up.

Exactly half an hour later, Emperor Yong'an arrived.

Shen Leyan looked at the bright figure and thought, this person must have calculated the time well. He came over just as they came out of the empress dowager's bedroom.

In fact, Emperor Yong'an knew his mother's habit of taking naps for many years, and knew that if he went there too early, she would still be waiting, so he said he would go there in half an hour.

Sure enough, the timing is just right!

Emperor Yong'an also had the rare patience to chat with them for a while. The Queen Mother certainly knew the real purpose of his visit...

Seeing that the time was almost up, she smiled and took the initiative to say, "I am truly flattered that the Emperor can spend so much time with me today."

"What are you talking about, mother? When haven't I come to pay my respects to you?"

The empress dowager thought about it and it seemed to be true. Although Emperor Yong'an didn't talk much to her on weekdays, he was indeed filial to her at all.

"Forget it. The emperor came here specifically to snatch my people. How could I possibly go against him?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Yong'an and said, pretending to be heartbroken, "Then I can only reluctantly bear the pain and let go of my love for once."

Shen Leyan was a little embarrassed at first, but was made to laugh by the Queen Mother's actions.

The Queen Mother held Shen Leyan's hand and said reluctantly, "Next time, I won't be willing to let you go so soon. Come and talk to me more often when you are free."

Shen Leyan nodded vigorously, and before leaving, she hugged the Queen Mother and comforted her, "I will definitely do it!"

"go Go!"

"If he dares to bully you, come and tell me. I will support us, Yan'er."

Shen Leyan smiled and agreed: "I understand, don't worry."

The Queen Mother watched the two men leave, then turned to Shangguan Yueyin and said, "The Emperor now has someone he cares about. I only hope that he and Yan'er can stay together until the end."

Shangguan Yueyin smiled and agreed, "Aunt's wish will surely come true!"

"Yue Yin saw that when her cousin and Le Yan were interacting with each other, they were very natural, as if they had become a different person."

"He has finally come to his senses. Otherwise, how could he have won over the girls with such a cold face all day long?" The Queen Mother said with relief.

Emperor Yong'an was taking Shen Leyan back to the Qianqing Palace when he passed by the Imperial Garden and happened to remember the first time he met her.

At that time, she was sitting on the swing under the apricot tree in the imperial garden with a sweet smile...

Emperor Yong'an stopped and looked at Shen Leyan beside him, with a slight smile on his face. "Do you want to know when I first met you?"

Shen Leyan looked up and thought for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Isn't it at the Spring Festival Banquet?"

Emperor Yong'an shook his head and deliberately kept the secret.

"It was on the day of the Spring Banquet, but not at the Spring Banquet."

When Shen Leyan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then the corners of her mouth rose up, and she smiled meaningfully.

"Could it be that the Emperor has already noticed me?"

Emperor Yong'an looked at her sparkling eyes and knew that she wanted to tease him, but he still let her do as she wished.

Pointing to the swing not far away, she said, "I remember that time I happened to pass by and saw you with a pure smile as the maid pushed you on the swing."

"The petals of the apricot tree danced in the air as the swing swung, and then slowly fell down. I thought to myself at the time that you were like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world." Emperor Yong'an's eyes became gentle.

A blush appeared on Shen Leyan's face, "Your Majesty..."

She felt her heart pounding at this moment, and her face couldn't help but turn red. She lowered her head slightly, and a smile spread across her face.

"From that moment on, my heart began to be moved by you." Emperor Yong'an gently took Shen Leyan's hand, "Fortunately, Yan'er has been mine from beginning to end, and belongs only to me!"

Shen Leyan recalled when they first met. At that time, she just wanted to stay away from him and didn't want to have anything to do with him. She didn't expect that it would turn out like this.

It turns out they have missed it for a long time...

Now she finally understood why Emperor Yong'an was so good to her in the beginning.

I don't know where the love comes from, but I'm passionate about it.

Emperor Yong'an promised earnestly: "No matter what happens in the future, I will always guard you and protect you, and you will not suffer any grievances."

Shen Leyan was deeply moved, tears glistening in her eyes, "I will always be by your side."

Her heart suddenly moved, and she slowly moved closer to him with a blushing face, and kissed Emperor Yong'an on the side of his face...

He was stunned for a moment, then picked up Shen Leyan by the waist. She was so frightened that she immediately hugged his neck.

She let Emperor Yong'an hold her in his arms and walk towards the Qianqing Palace, and their figures gradually disappeared at the end of the Imperial Garden.

After returning to his bedroom, Emperor Yong'an immediately dismissed all the palace servants.

Shen Leyan's heartbeat gradually accelerated. She slowly closed her eyes, feeling the breath of Emperor Yong'an gradually approaching...
