Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

That day, Jun Lingyuan waited in the palace for a long time, but Feng Qingyue didn't show up, nor did her maid come to summon her. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. Feng Qingyue had been coming to see him from time to time for the past two days, but today there was such a long period of silence. Could something unexpected have happened?

Jun Lingyuan couldn't contain his curiosity and hidden worries, so he walked quickly towards Feng Qingyue's residence with his personal servant. As soon as he reached the outside of the courtyard, a burst of cheerful laughter reached his ears.

Jun Lingyuan's heart suddenly felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he became nervous. He hurriedly quickened his pace and walked in.

I saw Feng Qingyue chatting enthusiastically with Jun Lingye. Her smile was as bright as a blooming spring flower, her eyes were shining with a lively light, and her words were full of excitement and joy.

Jun Lingyuan's face suddenly turned gloomy, and that gloomy look was like the sky covered with dark clouds before a storm, revealing a chilling depression.

When Feng Qingyue saw him coming, she was stunned for a moment, then bowed politely.

When Jun Lingye saw his royal brother coming, he hurriedly stood up, with a hint of respect and restraint in his expression.

Jun Lingyuan snorted coldly, and the voice was so cold that it seemed to come from an ice cellar. He didn't even look at Jun Lingye, but stared at Feng Qingyue with cold eyes and a hint of anger, as if his eyes wanted to pierce two holes in her body.

Feng Qingyue felt the cold gaze piercing her back, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, how did you find time to come here today?"

Jun Lingyuan said coldly, with undisguised displeasure in his voice: "If I hadn't come, how would I have known that my beloved concubine was so happy?"

Seeing this, Jun Lingye hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. A few days ago, the Empress Dowager asked me to help her get something, and I brought it to her today."

Jun Lingyuan frowned slightly and looked at Feng Qingyue with doubt and scrutiny in his eyes, as if trying to verify whether what Jun Lingye said was true.

Feng Qingyue nodded hurriedly and said softly, "Your Majesty, that is indeed the case. I thought that item was very rare, so I asked Prince Ling Ye for help."

Jun Lingyuan's expression finally eased a little, but there was still a hint of unhappiness that was hard to dissipate.

He said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "If that's the case, why didn't you send someone to inform me?"

Feng Qingyue lowered her head and brows, and said in a soft voice, "I am afraid that Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so I don't want to bother Your Majesty with such a small matter."

Jun Lingyuan snorted and said with a hint of resentment, "In your heart, I can't even take care of such a small matter?"

Feng Qingyue said with a look of deep fear: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention."

Jun Lingye also pleaded, saying sincerely, "Royal brother, the Empress Dowager has good intentions, so please don't be angry."

Jun Lingyuan looked at Feng Qingyue, who looked cautious, and then looked at Jun Lingye, who looked sincere. He sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, get up."

Jun Lingyuan reached out and took her hand, and said with a serious expression and a hint of warning: "This will not happen again." After that, he glared at Jun Lingye fiercely, his eyes full of warning, as if admonishing him to stay away from Feng Qingyue.

Jun Lingye smiled helplessly, and in that smile there was a hint of humor that he felt his royal brother was making a big deal out of nothing.

After Jun Lingye left, Jun Lingyuan looked at Feng Qingyue, his eyes filled with a subtle hint of grievance and expectation, and asked softly, "My beloved concubine, why didn't you come to see me today?"

"I have nothing to ask Your Majesty." Feng Qingyue looked at Jun Lingyuan in confusion, with innocence in her eyes.

Jun Lingyuan was speechless for a moment, his heart seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, and he could only say casually: "Nothing."

Feng Qingyue's eyes rolled, as if she suddenly remembered something. A somewhat false smile immediately appeared on her face, and she said, "Your Majesty, wasn't I waiting for Prince Ye this morning? I was planning to visit you later, but you're coming now?"

Jun Lingyuan's complexion looked a little better, and his originally furrowed brows relaxed a little.

Jun Lingyuan pretended to be indifferent and said, "I was just passing by. I heard the noise over here, so I came over to take a look." Jun Lingyuan thought to himself that he would not tell her that he had been waiting for her in the palace all morning. He did not want to appear to care too much.

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty," Feng Qingyue followed his words and said, "You are just passing by."

At this moment, a palace maid came in hurriedly to report: "Your Majesty, someone is here from the Queen Mother's side, summoning you."

Feng Qingyue was shocked and didn't know why the Queen Mother summoned her at this time.

Jun Lingyuan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat worried, and said, "I'll go with you."

Feng Qingyue hurriedly shook her head and said anxiously, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. I can go alone."

Feng Qingyue saw Jun Lingyuan's worried look and said, "It's okay. She doesn't dare to do anything to me now."

Jun Lingyuan looked at her determined expression and thought that the Queen Mother would not do anything to her.

Jun Lingyuan thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.

Feng Qingyue came to the Queen Mother's residence and bowed respectfully.

The Queen Mother sat on the couch, her expression calm and expressionless, showing no emotion. "Get up. I called you here today because of Princess Yelu Yan. The princess has just arrived and is unfamiliar with the place. As the head of the harem, you must spend more time with her."

Feng Qingyue responded respectfully, "I understand, and I will take good care of the princess." The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.

Then he changed the subject, his eyes becoming serious, "Also, although the Emperor is busy with state affairs, having children is extremely important. It's been a long time, and I haven't seen any of you conceive a child."

Feng Qingyue secretly complained in her heart: Aren't you the happiest person to not have children? But on the surface, she remained respectful, like an emotionless puppet.

The Queen Mother continued, "As the head of the harem, you must expand the royal family and ensure the prosperity of the emperor's offspring.

I have heard that Princess Yelu and the Emperor were together when they were young. The princess is beautiful, and I am very happy to see her. I think the Emperor will like her too, so I will arrange for her to serve him more often."

Feng Qingyue's heart suddenly tightened, as if being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, but she maintained a smile on her face, "The Queen Mother is wise and wise. Everything is up to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother seemed to see her reluctance, and with a hint of warning in her eyes, she said, "As the head of the harem, you must be magnanimous. The royal heir is the most important. You must understand my intentions."

Feng Qingyue took a deep breath and said calmly, "Yes, I understand. I'll take my leave."

After walking out of the Queen Mother's Palace, Feng Qingyue still felt very uncomfortable, but she knew that this was a matter of time.

But there was an indescribable sour feeling growing and spreading in her heart, and she didn't know what it was?
