Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

On the second day, just as the sky was turning pale, the soft morning light filtered through the carved window lattices and fell gently like silk threads onto the bed in Fengyi Palace.

Shen Li was still immersed in a sweet dream, wrapped in warmth and comfort.

Her breathing was even and slow, her brows were relaxed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was experiencing something wonderful in her dream.

At this moment, urgent calls broke the silence: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's time to get up! We have an early court today!"

The voice was crisp and a little anxious, and it was particularly clear in the silent palace. It was like an alarm clock in the early morning, pulling Shen Li out of her sleep.

Shen Li stretched out her white arms lazily from the warm quilt, her eyes hazy, her voice soft and sticky, and she mumbled with a strong sense of sleepiness: "Who is calling me?"

Her hair was scattered messily on the pillow, with a few strands sticking to her cheeks, which were slightly flushed. She looked cute and charming, without any of the usual majesty of the empress.

Luo Lingchen lay on his side beside her, quietly looking at the confused Shen Li beside him, and couldn't help laughing softly, his eyes full of doting.

He looked at Shen Li's sleepy and innocent appearance, his heart filled with tenderness.

He gently tucked Shen Li's outstretched arm back under the covers, moving cautiously, afraid to disturb her, as if she were a precious and fragile treasure. Then, he raised his voice slightly and shouted to Chu Qiu outside the palace: "Go inform them that the Empress will not be attending the morning court today!"

The tone was firm and unquestionable, as if he was the real decision maker in the court.

Chuqiu was standing outside the hall. After hearing this, she was slightly stunned. She subconsciously glanced at Chuchun beside her, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Her eyes were filled with hesitation, her brows furrowed slightly, and her lips pursed slightly. She leaned closer to Chuchun and whispered, "Do you think Lord Ruihua has the final say on this matter? After all, this is His Majesty's first morning court."

His voice was very low, with some hesitation and worry. After all, the morning court was related to important court affairs. Ruihua Jun made decisions on behalf of the empress without authorization, which was a very serious matter.

If this causes chaos in the court or causes dissatisfaction among the ministers, it would be troublesome.

Chuchun shook her head slightly, also looking confused. The two looked at each other, both at a loss for what to do.

Shen Li slowly woke up, and with sleepy eyes, she subconsciously glanced at the watch on her wrist. In an instant, all her sleepiness disappeared, her eyes widened, and she suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted at the top of her voice: "It's half past four, and I have to go to work at five!"

Her voice was filled with anxiety, completely devoid of the usual dignified composure of the empress. Her mind instantly flashed with the solemn and expectant faces of the ministers in the court, along with the mountains of government affairs, and she felt a surge of anxiety.

Luo Lingchen's lips curled up at her sudden movement, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the falling quilt and Shen Li, who was completely unaware of the sudden exposure. He half-jokingly said, "Li'er, it seems that I wasn't brave enough last night. You still have the energy to go to work and attend the morning court!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his long arms, pulled Shen Li back into his arms, and threw her down, and a hot kiss fell on her. His eyes flashed with teasing and love, and looking at Shen Li's flustered and anxious appearance, his heart was filled with joy.

Shen Li was a little flustered by this sudden attack. She put her hands on Luo Lingchen's chest and shouted anxiously, "Achen, Achen! Accompany me to the morning court. I want to change the time of the morning court!"

She was terribly anxious, preoccupied with court affairs. The early morning hours were truly unbearable. She had to rise from her warm bed before dawn every day to rush to court and deal with the tedious government affairs. Over time, this was physically and mentally exhausting.

She felt that changes had to be made, otherwise being an emperor would be too difficult.

Luo Lingchen looked at her like this, his eyes full of doting. He smiled helplessly and nodded in response, "Okay, I'll help you get dressed!" After that, he pretended to stand up and get the clothes. His eyes were full of tenderness and obedience. As long as it was Shen Li's request, he always couldn't bear to refuse.

When Shen Li heard this, her cheeks flushed instantly and she waved her hand hastily to refuse: "Let Chuqiu and the others come." There was a hint of shyness in her voice. After all, she was still a little embarrassed to be so intimate with Luo Lingchen in front of others.

After she finished speaking, she cleared her throat and shouted to the two people who were still hesitating outside, "Come in and help me change clothes." Her voice had regained some of the majesty of an empress, but the slightly trembling ending still revealed a hint of shyness in her heart.

When Chuqiu and Chuchun heard the call, they quickly composed themselves, walked quickly into the hall, and began to prepare Shen Li's clothes and makeup for the morning court in an orderly manner.
