Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

Feng Qingyue walked slowly towards the bedroom in a daze. A Cui saw her young lady walking with her head down, like a puppet that had lost its soul.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? The Queen Mother only asked Princess Yelu to serve His Majesty in bed. This is a normal thing, and you will be able to go home soon. But why do you feel so upset?" A Cui asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Yes, he was the emperor, and having three harems and six courtyards was normal. He was also about to return home, so why did he feel so uncomfortable? Feng Qingyue pondered secretly, feeling as if a heavy rock was pressing down on her heart, and the suffocating feeling made her feel a little breathless.

After returning to the bedroom, Feng Qingyue weakly ordered, "A Cui, don't let anyone disturb my sleep." After that, she threw herself into the bed and covered her head with the quilt, trying to isolate herself from the outside world.

At this time, Jun Lingyuan was in the imperial study, checking the intelligence sent by the secret guards about the emperor's uncle. The results of the investigation showed that the emperor's uncle was normal, which made Jun Lingyuan frown even more.

Who arranged the man Qingyue had seen in the harem earlier? This mystery weighed heavily on his heart like a thick dark cloud.

Just as he was racking his brains to no avail, his father-in-law's voice rang out from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Princess Yelu requests an audience."

"Let her in." Jun Lingyuan said as he calmly put away the letter on the table. His movements were natural and smooth, as if it was just a subconscious habitual action.

Yelu Yan walked to the desk with light steps, her eyes sparkling, and said tenderly: "Brother Lingyuan, take a rest and see what Yan'er brought you." As she spoke, she opened an exquisite box that was finely carved and inlaid with gorgeous gems, and took out a small plate of cakes from it.

"Brother Lingyuan, this cherry snow pastry was made by Yan'er herself. You have always loved it." Yelu Yan held the small plate in both hands, her eyes full of anticipation.

Jun Lingyuan did not take it, but looked at her suspiciously, with a probing look in his eyes: "How do you know I like to eat cherry snow cakes?" Although his voice was calm, there was a hint of anger in his words.

Seeing Jun Lingyuan angry, Yelu Yan's body trembled slightly, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she whispered: "Brother Lingyuan, Yan'er saw you eat it and thought you like it, so she made it. Brother Lingyuan, what's wrong with you?" Her voice trembled a little, with a little grievance.

Jun Lingyuan stared at her closely, his lips tightly closed, without saying a word.

He knew very well that he had never eaten pastries before. The only time he had eaten something similar was the Sakura Snow Pastry brought by Feng Qingyue.

Thinking of this, Jun Lingyuan's face became increasingly gloomy, and anger surged in his heart like a volcano about to erupt. He unconsciously clenched his fists.

Jun Lingyuan's eyes were cold and sharp, and he lowered his voice and said, "Leave the cakes here, you can leave."

Yelu Yan wanted to stay a little longer, her eyes full of attachment and grievance, but seeing Jun Lingyuan's angry look, she could only bite her lip and slowly turn away.

Jun Lingyuan looked at the plate of cakes, his emotions a tangled mess. He silently prayed that Feng Qingyue had nothing to do with this.

He casually put the pastries aside, then stood up and walked towards Yueli Palace.

His steps were a little hurried, as if there was an invisible force urging him on. He wanted to see Feng Qingyue and was eager to get some answers from her.

At that moment, Feng Qingyue was asleep in Yueli Palace. She dreamed she had returned to the modern era, sitting happily together with her colleagues. The scene was warm and cozy, sunlight streaming through the windows onto everyone, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, as if she had never set foot in this palace full of calculations and disputes.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The palace maids of Yueli Palace bowed to Jun Lingyuan when they saw him.

"Everyone, get up." Jun Lingyuan waved his hand and then asked, "Where is your queen?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen is resting. She has instructed that no one should disturb her." The palace maids lowered their heads in fear, not daring to breathe.

"Where is A Cui?" Jun Lingyuan continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, I'm here." A Cui walked forward and answered respectfully.

"What's wrong with your young lady? Why is she going to bed so early?" There was a hint of doubt in Jun Lingyuan's eyes.

"Your Majesty, the young lady is fine. She just wants to sleep, so she doesn't want us to disturb her." A Cui answered calmly.

"Oh, then let her have a good rest." Jun Lingyuan said and turned to leave, his back looking a little lonely.

Ah Cui looked in the direction where Jun Lingyuan left and murmured to herself, "In fact, His Majesty still cares about the young lady very much."

Jun Lingyuan was about to return to the bedroom when he was stopped by Princess Yelu's maid on the way.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The maid bowed respectfully.

"Please stand up. What's the matter?" Jun Lingyuan asked indifferently.

"Your Majesty, the princess invites you to have dinner at Kunning Palace," the maid said. As if afraid Jun Lingyuan wouldn't agree, she quickly added, "Your Majesty, the princess has been meticulously preparing this dinner for a long time."

"Lead the way," Jun Lingyuan said helplessly. He didn't want to go, but he didn't want to offend Yelu Yan.

The maids stood up with a smile and led the way.

"Brother Lingyuan, you are here, please take a seat." When Yelu Yan saw Jun Lingyuan coming, her eyes lit up and she pointed to the table full of dishes and said, "Brother Lingyuan, these are all made by me, please eat more." Her eyes were full of anticipation.

Jun Lingyuan looked at the dishes on the table and found that they were exactly the same as those he had eaten in Feng Qingyue Palace. He suddenly realized what had happened. He felt as if he had been severely deceived, and anger spread in his heart like a surging tide.

Jun Lingyuan turned and left without giving Yeluyan any chance to explain. Yeluyan was bewildered. She didn't understand why all her careful preparations had made Jun Lingyuan so angry. She stood there, at a loss.

Jun Lingyuan hurried to his bedroom, his heart a turmoil of anger and loss. He felt like a fool, being played around with.

He thought of his previous expectations of Feng Qingyue, and those moments when he thought she had feelings for him. At this moment, they all turned into sharp blades, cutting his heart again and again.

Every time he recalled the past, he felt a sharp pain. The pain spread from the bottom of his heart to his whole body, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He suddenly understood. No wonder she looked confused when he asked her why she didn't come to see him that day. It turned out that it wasn't that she came late, but that she had never thought of coming to see him at all.

No wonder she kept asking about my preferences a few days ago and kept testing me. I thought she had some feelings for me, but I didn't expect it was just my wishful thinking.

Jun Lingyuan's mood was extremely low. His eyes were filled with deep despair and self-mockery, as if he was mocking his own stupidity and self-conceit.

She probably said she wanted to sleep today because she didn't want to see me. Am I really that annoying?

She had approached him with a purpose, and once it was over, she didn't even want to see him anymore. The more Jun Lingyuan thought about it, the more depressed he became. His world seemed to collapse at that moment, leaving only ruins and endless loneliness.

Back in Kunning Palace, Yelu Yan raised her hand and overturned the entire table of dishes. The maids trembled with fear, their heads lowered and their bodies huddled together, not daring to utter a single sound. Yelu Yan stood there for a long time, filled with grievance and confusion. When she regained consciousness, her face was filled with resentment.

"Feng Qingyue, you must be afraid that I will snatch Brother Ling Yuan away, so you did something, otherwise Brother Ling Yuan would not treat me like this." She said hatefully, gritting her teeth.

Yelu Yan angrily walked towards Feng Qingyue's palace. The palace maids and eunuchs kept out of her way. When she reached the palace, she ignored all attempts to stop her and rushed in.

Feng Qingyue had woken up and was sitting quietly on the couch reading a book. When she saw Yelu Yan like this, she was stunned.

"What are you doing here?" Feng Qingyue asked.

"Hmph, you vixen, you must have deliberately framed me and made Brother Ling Yuan dislike me." Yelu Yan accused loudly.

Feng Qingyue gently put down the book and slowly stood up, "I don't understand what you are talking about, don't talk nonsense here." Her voice was calm, but there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

Yelu Yan sneered, "Don't try to quibble. I made everything for Brother Ling Yuan according to the manual you gave me. He didn't even look at it and was so angry. Who else could it be but you?"

Feng Qingyue looked puzzled and murmured, "That shouldn't be the case! I asked him about it, and he said he liked it himself. Does that mean he won't eat anything you make?"

"Impossible, he didn't even eat it. He just left angrily as if he saw something disgusting." Yelu Yan said excitedly.

Feng Qingyue was a little happy in her heart, but she pretended to be unconvinced and said, "Princess, calm down. I will find a new method for you tomorrow. It is guaranteed to work."

"This princess doesn't believe you anymore." Yelu Yan said angrily.

"Princess, besides trusting me, do you have any other way to make His Majesty like you?" Feng Qingyue said slowly.

Hearing this, Yelu Yan was speechless and didn't know how to refute.

"Then this princess will trust you again." After saying that, Yelu Yan left angrily.
