My Lady is well

Chapter 137 Depression

Shen Yueyao felt a chill down her spine when she heard his cold voice, and then she came back to her senses and looked at him.

He looked gloomy, his brows were twisted into a knot, his lips were tightly pursed, and he looked at her with a serious gaze, speaking word by word.

"Shen Yueyao, what are you doing?"

Shen Yueyao didn't say anything, she bit her lips tightly, her eyes trembled slightly, and she blinked slowly a few times before speaking.

"I'm completing the errand you assigned me."

He grabbed her wrist again and pulled her out of the room. Seeing so many palace maids in the yard, he turned back to look at her. Her slender waist was half exposed, vaguely visible, which aroused people's reverie. It was really inappropriate.

He pulled her arm, pulled her into his arms, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and bent over to pick her up.

A few strands of soft hair on Shen Yueyao's forehead were blown up by the wind, gently scratching his chin, causing a slight itch.

The sudden loss of weight made her subconsciously reach out to hug his neck, and she asked with a frown.

"What are you doing?"

He lowered his eyes to look at her, his long eyelashes casting a faint silhouette under his eyes, and whispered.

"Shen Yueyao, are you still a woman? You took off your clothes in public. I will settle the score with you when I get back."

"Settling the score? Didn't you ask me to come to her?"

He gritted his teeth and said coldly: "I didn't ask you to take off your clothes in front of others!"

Shen Yueyao let him hold her and rolled her eyes at him.

"Isn't everything settled? Princess Mingxuan is a nice person, enthusiastic and unrestrained. She even invited me to visit Beishuo."

Jing Ruzhang lowered his head with a look of suspicion at this ignorant woman, and a fire rose in his heart.

What is she thinking about? She actually wants to go to Beishuo?

In that barbarian land, with her thin arms and legs, she could go there and come back alive. When those barbarians saw women, they pounced on them like hungry wolves. His brows became more gloomy, and his hand on his waist tightened a little.

"No."

His tone was cold, leaving no room for negotiation.

Shen Yueyao sneered in her heart, "Don't give me the chance to leave the palace, otherwise you will never find me in your life."

Jing Ruzhang's heart sank slightly when he saw a look of displeasure on her porcelain-white face.

He quickly carried her into the Zelu Palace, walked around the curved screen, and placed her on the soft chair.

His clothes were loose on her, making her look so small. He inexplicably thought of the cat in Feihua Pavilion.

He couldn't help but glance at her twice more. Her chest was bulging, and the gauze dress didn't fit her well, leaving a ravine on her porcelain-white skin.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his heart felt inexplicably agitated. He quickly looked away, lowered his head, straightened his slightly wrinkled sleeves, and sat aside.

The palace maid came over to add more tea. Seeing that he didn't open his mouth to settle the account with her for a long time, Shen Yueyao looked up at him. His cold and fair profile showed no emotion, only his brows were locked, as if he was thinking.

Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a suspicious redness on his earlobe.

She knew her eyesight wasn't very good and maybe she had seen it wrong.

What could make a cold-hearted man like him blush? Could it be that he was mad at her?

This guy is really annoying. It was clearly him who asked her to find Mingxuan.

Jing Ruzhang noticed that she was looking at him, and his heart moved slightly. He turned his head to look at her, but caught a trace of disgust on her delicate face.

He turned his head, lowered his brows, and looked worried.

She - hates him so much?

The hand hidden under the sleeve clenched a little tighter, then slowly loosened.

He was silent for a moment and said, "Do you want to leave the palace?"

When Shen Yueyao heard these two words, she immediately perked up and her eyes lit up for a moment when she looked at him.

Why would he suddenly bring this up?

Is he going to ask her to do something again?

He looked at him warily for a few seconds and asked, "Why does Your Majesty ask this all of a sudden?"

"If you want to leave the palace, come this month. I'll take you out for a walk when I have time."

Shen Yueyao's eyes flashed, and she nodded almost without hesitation.

Seeing that she agreed readily, he didn't say much. The light in his eyes dimmed, but the fleeting gleam of light still entered his eyes clearly.

It's not all joy, it's also mixed with calculation.

He stood up and said, "I still have things to deal with, so I won't be returning to Zelu Palace tonight."

Shen Yueyao said "oh" lightly, and her mind was completely focused on what he had just said about leaving the palace.

Since I'm going to leave the palace, I naturally need a plan.

Plan, plan!

She stood up, glanced at the ill-fitting robe on her body, and gave the order.

"Go get some clothes."

Jin'er nodded in agreement.

Ever since she became pregnant, the incense burning in Zelu Palace was stopped. It was spring and the flowers were in full bloom, so the porcelain vases on the flower table were replaced by palace maids every half a day.

There is always a faint fragrance in the hall.

Shen Yueyao walked to the desk, took out his calligraphy and spread it on the desk.

Jin Er smiled and said, "Master, why are you in the mood to copy the emperor's calligraphy today? You usually go to bed at this time. Are you expressing your gratitude to the emperor for bringing you out of Mingqiong Garden?"

Shen Yueyao looked up and saw her ambiguous smile, and thought to herself.

This girl must have read too many romantic picture books about talented men and beautiful women, and her mind is full of love thoughts.

She ignored him, sat down at the desk, picked up her pen, dipped it in ink and began to copy.

After writing a few words, he stopped writing suddenly.

He looked at the words on the rice paper, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked.

"The emperor said he won't be back today? Go find out which palace he is going to."

Jin Er looked at her puzzledly and asked, "My Lord, the Emperor just said he was going to the Imperial Study. Has the Emperor been to other palaces since you moved into the Zelu Palace?"

Shen Yueyao said indifferently: "Don't worry, he will go sooner or later."

Seeing what she said with such confidence, Jin'er felt a little puzzled. The master and the emperor looked so well matched standing together, so why didn't the master pay any attention to the emperor at all?

After knocking on the door of two people for such a long time, I suddenly realized that it was just my wishful thinking, and I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Tentatively, he advised: "Master, do you really not intend to live a good life with the emperor?"

Shen Yueyao was amused by her words, put down her long pen and asked with a smile.

"Do you think the emperor is a man who can live?"

Jin'er looked at her with a pair of delicate eyes and nodded slightly.

Shen Yueyao smiled, stood up, walked to the bookshelf, took out a joke book, and gently placed it on the desk.

The cover of the novel depicted a talented man and a beautiful woman. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They looked like a perfect match.

Shen Yueyao showed a contemptuous look and said in a cold voice.

"Look at the two people on the cover. Aren't they a perfect match made in heaven?"

Jin Er took a closer look and nodded, "They look like a good match."

Shen Yueyao shifted her gaze to the splendid peach blossoms outside and said softly.

"Such a wonderful beginning, but when you open it, you will find that it is full of concubines."

Jin'er's eyes paused for a moment, and his gaze was fixed on her flawless white jade profile.

Yes, how could a person like the master be willing to become someone else's concubine?

But the Emperor...

Alas, if he really falls in love with his master, he will suffer in the future.

Shen Yueyao lowered her eyes slightly, fixed her gaze on the rice paper, and said in a calm voice.

"Go make two desserts. I'll deliver them to the imperial study later."

"master......"

In fact, what she wanted to say was, Master, it would be better if you make the snacks yourself to show your sincerity.

But it was obvious that she was not sincere and just nodded and said yes.
