My Lady is well

Chapter 118 Can’t Let Go

Luo Zhong looked at the emperor who had been busy at his desk since the end of the court session, and speculated in his heart.

What's wrong with this emperor?

After having a conflict with Concubine Shen last night, he hurriedly summoned Concubine Wen to sleep with him.

Concubine Shen was the favorite recently, and the green card of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was covered with a thick layer of dust.

It was a good thing that Concubine Wen Shu was summoned to sleep with the emperor yesterday, after all, the emperor has few children.

Although the Queen Mother liked Concubine Shen, she did not want to see the Emperor favor her alone.

So after knowing that Concubine Shen was pregnant, he wanted her to live in Shou'an Palace.

Firstly, it was to protect her, and secondly, it was to encourage the emperor to continue his efforts and have more children.

Unexpectedly, the emperor refused and insisted on keeping the person by his side. Being together every day was bound to lead to conflicts sooner or later.

No, it is just as I expected.

Yesterday, I thought the Emperor had finally thought it through and decided not to hang himself on Concubine Shen's tree. After all, he owns the entire forest!

It was clear that both he and Concubine Wen Shu had already gotten on the bed, but for some reason the Emperor was thinking, he actually sent them back on a sedan chair.

Those who didn't know would have thought that something was wrong with the emperor's health. When Concubine Wen came yesterday, she took the trouble to dress up and looked no worse than Concubine Shen.

Who would have thought that the emperor would be so rude to a beauty? I guess Concubine Wen will be sad for quite a while.

Today, after court, he has been summoning ministers and handling government affairs. His schedule is full and he doesn't stop for a moment. He didn't even have lunch. How can his body bear it if this continues?

I wonder what kind of irreconcilable conflict there is between these two people?

He had never treated any other concubine like this before, but since he met Concubine Shen, he seemed like a different person in some aspects.

"Luo Zhong."

His thoughts were interrupted and he quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Hey, the servant is here."

"Go tell Jiang Ye."

Luo Zhong was stunned for a moment and said quickly.

"Your Majesty, Guard Jiang is taking a day off today."

The person on the throne was also slightly startled, and said silently: "Step down."

When he came back to his senses, he found that he had already reviewed all the memorials for today, including some important tasks that had accumulated previously. Today's work had been handled quite smoothly. This was the first time he felt that he had too few tasks to do.

This guy, once he has free time, his brain is out of control. Thinking of the indifference of someone when he said that last night, he became furious.

The face of Concubine Shu is gentle and pretty, her eyes are charming and moving, and her figure is graceful and elegant. She is a rare beauty in this world.

He did like that face before, but for some reason when he looked at those almond-shaped eyes, the face that made him so angry that it hurt his liver appeared in his mind.

He threw the long pen in his hand onto the imperial desk, and for the first time, he felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration.

He could handle court affairs with ease, but once he encountered matters concerning this woman, things seemed to become very tricky.

Why should he have to bear this feeling alone while she can be at ease?

A cold arc appeared on his lips. Didn't she say she wanted to have a romantic affair with me? Grant her wish!

Jin'er patrolled the yard and came into the house, where she saw her master leisurely leaning on a beauty couch sipping tea. She went forward, squatted down and massaged her legs.

"Master, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are too unreasonable. They took back the four people sent by the Queen and didn't send two more people to us. You are a beauty, so you should have someone to serve you in this courtyard."

Shen Yueyao didn't care. Now she just wanted to give in and give birth to the child in her belly safely. She wanted to instill in him the greatness of a mother and the hardship of pregnancy for ten months, so that he would be willing to take care of her in her old age in the future.

This was the best ending she had imagined for herself.

She said lazily, "Isn't it good for just the two of us? The people we send have to bother to check their backgrounds, and we dare not eat anything that is prepared. It's too much trouble."

"But look at the plants and trees in the yard. No one is taking care of them. Our Yuntai Pavilion looks like a cold palace."

"They all act according to the emperor's mood. They think that since I have been driven out of the Zelu Palace by the emperor and have fallen out of favor, no one will pay attention to us for the time being. But it is still much better than the cold palace. We still have freedom of movement."

Shen Yueyao sat up lazily and looked at the flower bed outside Yun's window. There were a lot of weeds growing on it, and a few spring peaches were in full bloom, like brocade and clouds.

"Jin'er, didn't you say before that you wanted to grow vegetables? You can plant whatever you want in the flowerbed outside. It's all allocated to you. Keep those peach and banana trees, and plant whatever else you like."

Jin'er was overjoyed: "Really? From now on, all the flower beds in Yuntai Pavilion will belong to me?"

Those who don’t know would think that gold can be grown in this land, Shen Yueyao said with a smile.

"They are all yours. If the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs don't give you the seeds, ask Bai Wang to bring them in from outside the palace."

Her eyes fell on the window, she touched her belly, and said thoughtfully.

"We still have to take good care of this Bai Wangren line, as it will be useful in the future."

Jin'er looked at her and felt a little distressed, thinking that the food sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today was not even a little bit worse than that in Zelu Palace.

She pouted and said, "My Lord, when the Emperor asked you yesterday if you were sincere to him, why didn't you just say yes? I think the Emperor treats you really well."

Shen Yueyao frowned, shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"Do you know who he is? He is the emperor. Even if he is sincere now, so what? An emperor has countless beauties in his harem, and he may treat me with freshness for a few days. But you see, when he is happy, I can eat and live with him in Zelu Palace. If I don't follow his wishes, I won't even have a decent meal when I return to Yuntai Pavilion. I can't afford such feelings. The real can't be fake, and the fake can't be real. I can deceive him for a while, but I can't deceive him forever. It's okay to deceive people, but it's a bit dangerous to deceive people's feelings. If you are not careful, you may fall into it. Besides, if he knows that I lied to him in the future, with his temper, he will really kill me. As for now..."

She looked at her belly and smiled, "He won't."

Jin'er looked at her blankly, and it seemed that she was still slowly digesting her words. After a long while, she slowly spoke.

"But what should we do now?"

Shen Yueyao's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a while, she said, "It's okay. There are people in this palace who care about this child more than he does. It's ours, and nothing will be left behind."

"You mean the Queen Mother?"

Shen Yueyao smiled sweetly: "Not bad."

"But now there are rumors all over the palace. Those mean-spirited people are saying that you are not pregnant with the heir to the throne. I wonder what will happen if the Queen Mother hears about it?"

Shen Yueyao was not worried about this. After all, no one knows a child better than his mother. No one knew the emperor's temper better than the empress dowager. He neither sent her to the cold palace nor punished her. He just let her return to Yuntai Pavilion.

Is there anything unclear about this?

We had a fight!

Shen Yueyao simply said "don't worry".

"Miss Shen."

Shen Yueyao and Jin'er looked towards the door at the same time when they heard the voice, only to see Luo Zhong poking his head in and calling her with a smile.

Shen Yueyao stood up and took two steps forward.

"It's Eunuch Luo, what can I do for you?"
