Chapter 104 Thoughts
Shen Yueyao held her breath, and suddenly felt a chill on her back. She turned around and looked at the person coming.
He blinked twice quickly to calm down his surprise, then bowed and said.
"I have met the emperor."
Concubine Meng and Concubine Wei, who were still wrestling with each other, suddenly let go, stepped back, and knelt on the ground.
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."
Jing Ruzhang saw that the two men had disheveled hair, untidy clothes, their pearl hairpins and hairpins scattered all over the floor, and both of them had bruises on their faces.
This woman is really scary when she fights!
His brows were furrowed. His cousin had always been the center of attention since she was a child. How could she have ever been in such an embarrassing situation?
Punishment is punishment, and the Queen Mother will not let him go if she really suffers.
"fight?!"
He glanced at the person kneeling on the ground, but his eyes were on Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao quickly shook her head, indicating that it had nothing to do with her.
Concubine Wei was the first to complain: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."
She rolled up her sleeves and crawled forward, lifting her long sleeves to show the emperor the bloody scratches on her arms.
Lady Meng had never suffered such an injustice before, so she burst into tears and ignored the accusations.
"Cousin, she hit me..."
She cried so pitifully.
He had always made wise decisions in handling court affairs, but the fight between these two women...
He was silent for a moment and turned his gaze to Shen Yueyao.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
When Shen Yueyao was called upon, she immediately followed suit and recounted how Concubine Wei bullied Concubine Zheng and how Concubine Meng had done righteous things in an exaggerated way.
Just one thing, she insisted that Jin'er was just trying to mediate.
Concubine Wei was not willing to agree. From what she said, it seemed that she was in favor of Concubine Meng.
She cried, "Your Majesty, the maid next to Shen Yueyao clearly laid hands on me. If you don't believe me, just look."
As he spoke, he scratched the hanging clothes with his arm and lifted them up, but he didn't look at them. He just stared at Shen Yueyao, wanting to see how she would refute.
"Jin'er really went to stop the fight. If you don't believe me, ask Lady Meng."
Lady Meng naturally agreed with her and nodded vigorously.
He glanced at the wounds on Lady Wei's face and realized that what Shen Yueyao said was half true and half false, so he didn't bother with her.
"The beauty Wei was domineering and beat the concubines at will, so she was demoted to..."
He lowered his eyes, glanced at Shen Yueyao out of the corner of his eye, and continued.
"Demoted to Baolin. Lady Meng has lost her manners and is under house arrest for ten days."
When Concubine Meng heard that Concubine Wei was demoted two levels while she was only confined to her house, she felt satisfied, wiped her tears and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Concubine Wei was unwilling to do so and wanted to defend herself, but as soon as she raised her eyes, she was discouraged by the emperor's cold look.
He had to lower his eyes to hide the resentment and resentment in his eyes, and forced himself to kowtow.
Jing Ruzhang turned around and took two steps, then saw that Shen Yueyao had no intention of following him, so he stopped and said.
"What? You still want to stay and continue fighting?"
Shen Yueyao immediately understood and followed him with lotus steps, bowing slightly.
"I don't dare."
She followed behind him, keeping a certain distance. Eunuch Luo naturally did not dare to walk in front of her and could only follow beside her.
Shen Yueyao asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Luo, what are we having for dinner?"
Luo Zhong looked at her in surprise. No one dared to follow the emperor and whisper, but who made her Shen Baolin?
The emperor can't help but like her.
He raised his head to glance at the emperor who was walking in front of him and spoke in a low voice.
"The emperor eats whatever the imperial kitchen sends him. The emperor never orders food himself before."
Shen Yueyao felt a little disappointed after hearing this. In fact, she was not a person who cared about food. She didn't know why her appetite had been preferring sour food in the past two days.
She sat in the courtyard of Zelu Palace for a while. The scenery was unique and a small water pavilion isolated her from the noise.
Shen Yueyao seemed to have never seen him stay in the yard for a moment. He was almost always at his desk with pen and ink.
She looked into the hall through the window and saw him sitting upright at his desk, writing furiously with a meticulous expression on his face.
The brilliance is restrained and the temperament is remarkable.
It is said that it is lonely at the top. He must be lonely.
I don’t know if he failed this romantic relationship, but he did fulfill his ambitions.
She smiled indifferently, turned her head and said to Jin'er.
"Jin'er, do you think this place is nice?"
Jin Er thought about it carefully and said, "It looks good, but I think it's a bit wasteful."
Shen Yueyao looked at her curiously and asked, "Waste?"
Jin Er nodded: "Yes, you see, you planted so many flowers and plants, but when winter comes and the snow comes, there will be nothing left."
"So what do you think we should plant?"
"Of course, I'm growing vegetables. With the weather in Kyoto, I can grow vegetables for two seasons. When I was in the mansion before, I saw that Madam Seven's yard was full of vegetables, and I thought it was very special."
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "You are a good person who knows how to live. Okay, when we return to Yuntai Pavilion, I will give you two flower beds so that you can plant some too."
The man at the desk looked tiredly at the smiling face outside the window and said to himself.
She has some free time.
Luo Zhongchu walked up to Shen Yueyao, bowed with a smile on his face and said.
"Shen Baolin, the emperor summoned you to grind ink."
Shen Yueyao's smile froze on her lips. Wasn't there a palace maid beside him who was grinding ink and adding perfume?
It was not yet time for her to report, but since he had spoken, she did not dare to disobey him, so she had to get up and walk into the hall.
Shen Yueyao walked to the desk, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white wrists, as white as snow.
She picked up the ink stick and ground it carefully.
Jing Ruzhan had never had the habit of bringing memorials back to Zelu Palace for review before, but he only developed the habit in the past one or two days.
He picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, only to find that the ink was thick and uneven, and said with one thick eyebrow raised.
"You can't even grind ink, what else can you do?"
Shen Yueyao stopped what she was doing and really wanted to splash the ink on his face.
Of course, she wouldn't commit suicide.
She placed her fingertips on her forehead in a delicate gesture.
"I feel unwell and have no strength."
He looked at her quietly and said to Luo Zhong.
"Shen Baolin is not feeling well. Go and ask Doctor Lu to prescribe ten more prescriptions."
"...No, no need, I am much better."
Seeing her expression change in an instant, he raised his thin lips unconsciously, and there was a hint of doting in his eyes that he himself did not even notice.
The two of them didn't spend much time together, but it seemed like there was always something different when she was around.
He was originally on top of a cold mountain, but inadvertently saw a glimpse of spring, and selfishly wanted to keep it, no matter what means he could use.
Shen Yueyao naturally didn't understand what he was thinking, and her eyes fell thoughtfully on his vigorous and elegant handwriting.
She smiled flatteringly and said, "Your Majesty's calligraphy is really beautiful. Could you please give me two pieces of calligraphy? I have nothing to do, so I'll copy them to kill time."
Jing Ruzhang's heart paused, his eyelashes drooped, and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
"It's on the bookshelf. If you like, go get it yourself."
