Chapter 360 Waiting for Him to Discover
He probably wanted her to come back, and probably started to miss her.
So Su Rong’s decision to leave this time was the right one?
"Your Majesty, do you know where the Empress is now?"
"Beyond the Great Wall, where else can she go?"
Yan Chu was a little worried.
I don’t know whether he wanted Su Rong back because of food problems or because he had started to miss her emotionally.
It is really difficult to completely stop thinking about Su Rong.
"Perhaps Your Majesty is unaware of the Emperor's wishes. It would be better to send someone to the frontier as fast as possible to convey the Emperor's wishes in person."
Outside the Great Wall?
But the queen has now run away with her lover.
Of course Shen Zhishu has plenty of ways to let the emperor know her whereabouts.
But could anything be more shocking than finding out for himself?
So he might as well let him send the person he trusts most to investigate.
From Yan Chu's perspective, if he sent someone close to him to invite her, Su Rong should also know what he meant.
"Then try it."
He felt that what Shuer said made sense.
After all, in the letter, he did not express a strong desire for her to return to Kyoto.
"Well, give it a try. The Queen will be very happy, I guess."
Shen Zhishu smiled slightly.
The second day of the new year.
All the concubines came to Kunning Palace to celebrate the New Year.
Each presented gifts and blessings.
Shen Zhishu had already prepared New Year gifts and asked Bitao to deliver them to them one by one.
"My lady, this is a brush that I specially asked a craftsman from Langzhou to make. Your name is also engraved on it."
Yu Mingzhu opened the box specially when giving the gift.
It is a red brush. It is definitely not expensive among the many gifts, but it is very special and full of sincerity.
She flashed her big eyes, hoping that Shen Zhishu would pick it up and take a look.
Shen Zhishu raised the corner of his mouth but just nodded.
So he asked Bitao to put it away.
"Very good. I like it very much. I will use this brush to draw a picture for Ming Changzai later."
She didn't touch it.
Since everyone here has given gifts, she has to treat them all equally.
Yu Mingzhu felt a little disappointed and returned to his seat with a forced smile.
"Why did you change the maid today?"
Then she noticed that the person accompanying Yu Mingmingzhu was not Qingwan.
A strange face was replaced.
"Qingwan accompanied me home this time. When she returned to the palace, she caught a cold and has been bedridden ever since."
Yu Mingzhu said calmly.
"My queen, is the little prince awake? Can we all see him?"
Without waiting for Shen Zhishu to ask again, Tong Yuer suddenly spoke.
Everyone's attention was immediately focused on the little prince.
It was not until the afternoon that the concubines left.
Shen Zhishu then carried the child back to the house.
Qi'er can eat and sleep. Just now when someone was talking and laughing, he stayed awake and hummed. Now that someone left, he closed his eyes.
She held the little person in her arms, and her heart melted as she looked at him.
Then she let the wet nurse leave and she took Qi'er to sleep.
"My lady, those gifts..."
The gifts sent by several ladies are still piled up in the main hall.
Who knows what was given away? Can you just touch it?
Besides, she doesn't lack these things.
"Move them all to the warehouse and store them."
So it’s better to send it far away. Other people’s kindness cannot be given away casually, so just keep it.
So Bitao sent all the gifts to the warehouse and locked it up.
Two more days passed.
The harem is peaceful.
As soon as Shen Zhishu finished her confinement, Yan Chu stayed in her room all day and didn't go anywhere.
"Really? Or...wait a little longer?"
He was breathing heavily and holding his book tightly, not wanting to let go.
Because he tried so hard to control himself, his voice was particularly hoarse.
But still telling such lies.
"The imperial physician said that my body recovered very quickly and I was completely healed in half a month. Your Majesty forced me to wait for a full month like ordinary people do."
Her slender hands stroked his cheek, outlining the lines of his face.
Slide your fingertips along your chin to your Adam's apple.
Yan Chu couldn't help but hold her hand.
"Are you blaming me, Shu'er?"
As he spoke, he tore her underwear uncontrollably.
For three days in a row, Yan Chu seemed to want to take back everything she couldn't do when she was pregnant. He pestered her and tormented her day and night.
This kind of thing is the most popular thing in the harem.
This made the other concubines feel very uncomfortable.
It's fine that the virtuous concubine is favored.
But even when she gave birth and was in confinement, the emperor did not come to the harem, let alone summon anyone.
This puts them in an awkward situation.
Yu Mingzhu then instigated Tong Yuer to take action again.
No matter what, I have to fight for both favors.
"When Concubine Xian was in confinement, I tried many times, but the Emperor didn't want to. Now... he has his beloved Concubine Xian, so nothing can help. As long as Concubine Xian is here, our life will be like this."
Who knew that Tong Yuer had no fighting spirit and responded passively.
Yu Mingzhu was so angry that he stomped his feet.
Just wait, in a few days, Concubine Xian will be banished to the cold palace, absolutely.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the army to return home.
Early in the morning.
Yan Chu went to the morning court from Kunning Palace.
After putting on his clothes, he walked to the bed, bent down, hugged Shen Zhishu and gave him a deep kiss.
Until she wakes up.
"I will be waiting for you in Xuanzheng Hall for the dinner. I will give you a surprise then."
"Isn't this a banquet for the returning general? Did the emperor make a mistake in who will be the main guest of the banquet?"
Even after waking up, she was reluctant to open her eyes and leaned limply against Yan Chu.
"To make up for you not being out for New Year's."
"Your Majesty is really strange. I have never blamed you or said anything wrong."
So why would there be a need to 'make amends'?
Yan Chu rubbed her head. It was almost time to go to court and there was no time to delay.
Seeing that he became popular, Shen Zhishu fell asleep again.
Anyway, it was quite early and it was a dinner party, so we could prepare in the afternoon and there was still plenty of time.
But this time in her dream, she seemed to hear a very beautiful and mysterious flute sound.
Before she knew it, she fell into a deeper sleep.
night.
Shen Zhishu was wearing a peach-pink palace dress with peach petals specially painted on her forehead. Even her lip balm was made from newly bloomed peach blossoms. Her face was like a peach blossom, and she looked fresh and beautiful.
"My lady, you are so beautiful today. Your face is pink even without makeup, and even your body is..."
Bitao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as she combed Shen Zhishu's hair.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel that the Empress looks more beautiful today than at any other time.
Shen Zhishu also glanced at himself in the bronze mirror.
Then he smiled faintly.
"It's because of the makeup."
Indeed, she really likes this makeup look today.
Afterwards, she took Xiaodie and Bitao to the Xuanzheng Hall.
Today, the Emperor specially arranged a welcoming banquet.
This banquet is specially held to entertain the generals who are going on this expedition.
The others are Su Junhou and Shen Wang.
Among all the concubines in the harem, she was the only one who appeared.
As soon as Shen Zhishu arrived, everyone present was stunned.
Her rosy face was so beautiful that it was extremely shocking, and even Yan Chu couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
In Yilan Palace, Yu Mingzhu was more excited than anyone else.
