My Lady is well

Chapter 119 Night Thief

Luo Zhong walked into the house with a smile and called on the people behind him to follow in.

Several palace maids brought some brocade clothes and some fine pearl hairpins and jewelry and presented them to her.

Shen Yueyao took a closer look. The material was gorgeous, the embroidery was exquisite, and the pearl hairpins and step-shaking ornaments were even more luxurious. The magnolia step-shaking ornaments carved from crystal gems were in bud and lifelike, and the jade hairpins were sparkling and magnificent.

She frowned slightly. She was pregnant and usually didn't even wear makeup. In her eyes, these things were not as good as Dongxue's bowl of fruit soup.

"What does this mean, Eunuch Luo?"

Luo Zhong had a friendly smile on his face: "The emperor said that there will be a state banquet in the palace tomorrow, and the emperor asked you to go. The emperor also specifically instructed you to wear these clothes. You are born beautiful, I believe that these clothes will make you look like a fairy descending from the earth."

Shen Yueyao's heart was beating fast. These clothes and jewelry were too gorgeous and dazzling for a beauty like her. Even concubines wouldn't need them. What was he trying to do?

Afraid that she's living too comfortably?

Or do you think her reputation in the palace is not loud enough?

This man has a headache!

It must be a scam, I can't go.

Shen Yueyao raised her jade-white fingertips and gently rubbed her temples. She lowered her eyes weakly and spoke in a whisper, lowering her throat.

"Eunuch Luo, I have not had a good appetite these past two days and I feel a little weak. Can I ask the Emperor for a leave? I don't want to go to a noisy place like the palace banquet?"

Luo Zhong's brows were tied into a knot, and his eyes were full of embarrassment.

"How can this be possible? The Emperor has specifically instructed that you must go and dress up beautifully. The palace maids who will dress you up have been brought to you."

He glanced sternly at the two palace maids behind him and gave the order.

"Why don't you come over to see Lady Shen?"

Two palace maids stepped forward and bowed: "Your servants Ruizhu and Hongshang greet Lady Shen."

Shen Yueyao glanced at the two pretty palace maids and felt secretly annoyed.

He had arranged everything, seemingly leaving her no room for consideration. It seemed that she could only take things one step at a time.

She said calmly, "Get up."

"Thank you, Miss Shen."

Shen Yueyao originally wanted to go to Yongning Palace to pay her respects to the Queen, but yesterday she heard from Li Ning that the Queen was not in good spirits and would not see guests.

In this way, she saved herself a lot of trouble.

She is now a prominent figure in the palace. For example, her morning sickness was not a big deal, she just felt a little uncomfortable.

But what she heard was that Lady Shen was pregnant and had anorexia, and there was an 80% chance that she would not survive.

She could imagine what the hottest topic in the palace would be after tomorrow: Concubine Shen was shameless and wanted to seduce the emperor to regain his favor.

She wondered in her heart, what on earth did this man want to do?

Seeing her in a trance, Luo Zhong looked around the room and saw that there was only one palace maid, Jin'er, serving her. In just two days, she seemed to have lost weight again. If the emperor saw this, he would be heartbroken.

I felt a little bit of pity in my heart and advised softly.

"Lady Shen, please don't blame me for being too talkative. The emperor has you in his heart. You should go along with him in everything. The emperor always responds to soft words and not hard ones."

Although Shen Yueyao felt disdainful in her heart, she also appreciated his suggestion and nodded at him with a smile.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for the tip."

"Lady Shen is a smart person, and the emperor has a crush on her. I have to say something. You are not feeling well, so you should take a rest first. I have to go back and report."

"Go slowly, eunuch. Jin'er will see you off."

Shen Yueyao's eyes were fixed thoughtfully on the gorgeous clothes and jewelry.

When Jing Ruzhang returned to Zelu Palace, he glanced inside the palace and saw only a few palace servants standing there like wooden figures.

In the past, he could hear her laughing and talking with the palace maid Yingying before he entered the palace, but now it was dead silent, and he felt inexplicably empty in his heart.

He stared blankly at the Arhat soft chair by Chao Yun's window for a few seconds, then lowered his brows.

Think about it, don’t all women in the world hope to be by the side of the king one day?

Although he wouldn't claim to be unrivaled in appearance and talent, he is definitely top-notch.

Why wasn't it enough to please her?

Does she really like a weak scholar like Xie Lanci?

Thinking of this, he felt a lump in his throat again.

With his thoughts in a mess, he shouted loudly: "Luo Zhong."

Upon hearing the voice, Eunuch Luo quickly walked into the hall and came up to him.

"The slave is here."

Jing Ruzhang's eyes were fixed on the peach blossoms outside the window, and she recalled the look of peace and tranquility on her face when she looked at the peach blossoms that day.

He said slowly, "How is Yuntai Pavilion?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, I have noticed that Lady Shen has lost a lot of weight. I think her body is reacting badly again. Miss Dongxue is in charge of her meals in Zelu Palace. There was nothing wrong with Yuntai Pavilion this time, but people in the palace said that she was driven back by you. People in the palace, you know, this..."

His eyes dimmed, his expression was solemn, his jawline was tense, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Direct Dongxue to Yuntai Pavilion. There must be no problem with her diet. Ask Jiang Ye to keep an eye on that place to prevent anyone from doing something dishonest."

boom--

Shen Yueyao was awakened by a noise in the middle of the night. She hurriedly got up to check what was going on. Upon hearing the noise, Jin'er and Dongxue quickly put on their coats and rushed to her room.

She saw a big hole in the window and a fist-sized stone lying on the ground.

Jin'er was so angry that her hair exploded and she said angrily.

"These damn bastards actually came to our yard to bully us. I will smash their heads into pieces."

Shen Yueyao was also a little angry. This was a bullying because there was no one guarding their yard at night, and he actually did such a tasteless thing as throwing stones into her house.

what--

The three of them heard a sharp scream and looked at each other.

Jin Er said excitedly: "Okay, this idiot hasn't left yet, let me show you how I'm going to deal with him."

Shen Yueyao and Dongxue nodded repeatedly, picked up the stone and walked out of the house. Seeing two black shadows entangled together, Shen Yueyao panicked and threw the stone in her arms over.

Ouch--

Dongxue said happily: "It hit the target, it hit the target, Master, please wait, I will go pick up a few more stones."

Shen Yueyao also nodded excitedly, but heard someone say.

"Miss Shen, please stop smashing it. It's my humble duty."

When Shen Yueyao heard his voice, she felt it was very familiar. It took her a while to realize it was Jiang Ye.

He captured a eunuch and brought him to Shen Yueyao, saying, "Don't worry, Miss Shen. This thief has been subdued by me."

Shen Yueyao couldn't see clearly, so she asked them to go into the house. Only then did she realize that the stone had hit Jiang Ye's head, and it was bleeding, which looked very creepy.

Shen Yueyao realized that she had hit the wrong person and quickly apologized with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Guard Jiang."

"It's okay. This guy has some martial arts skills. I was not careful when fighting with him just now. This is... my own fault. Don't blame Lady Shen."

Jin'er saw that it was the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground who smashed the window. She glared at him angrily and asked quietly.

"Master, do you want to beat him up first before asking?"
