Chapter 48: I Care About Lady Shu
Chapter 48: I Care About Lady Shu
Under dim light.
Li Changzai sat by the bed. The shadow cast by the curtains above the bed added a bit of gloom to her cruel expression, making people shudder at the sight.
Xia Zhi, who had never seen this side of her before, was so frightened that he was trembling with fear.
"My lord, that is..."
"Shut up!" Li Changzai raised his eyebrows, "If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for feeding you everything!"
As she spoke, Li Changzai endured the pain that stretched from her fingers to her heart and stretched out her swollen hand that looked like a steamed bun towards Xia Zhi. The oncoming smell of blood made Xia Zhi tremble.
Xia Zhi took out the small porcelain bottle that was still a little dirty from his shoes, and said with a pale face: "My lady, if someone knew about this, I'm afraid--"
The lady...seems to have changed, becoming even more frightening and terrifying!
Li Changzai's eyes were cold, and the look he gave Xia Zhi made her feel as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"If you don't tell me, who will know?"
……
No one knew that after a torture, Li Changzai had undergone a drastic change, while Shen Qingtang, who caused her to suffer torture, was sleeping soundly with a quilt in his arms at this moment.
As for Emperor Yuji——
He was almost laughing because of Shen Qingtang's anger!
What sweetheart?
But he refused to give him even a piece of bedding on the bed!
"You heartless little thing! I avenged you in vain, but you slept soundly!" Emperor Yuji pinched Shen Qingtang's nose.
It is rare for a beautiful woman to have a good night's sleep when she is in my arms. But now, she can't even have a good night's sleep.
have to.
You can’t sleep in Fanghua Palace, because there are plenty of beddings in Taihe Palace!
Emperor Yu Ji stood up, and just as he lifted the bed curtain, Jiang Quan walked in quietly with something in his hand.
"Your Majesty, are you going to get up to sleep?"
Emperor Yuji paused. If Concubine Zhengui knew that I couldn't even get a quilt, I'm afraid she would talk nonsense and disturb his mind...
Emperor Yuji glanced at the person on the bed, feeling helpless, and had to give up the idea of returning to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Emperor Yuji clenched his right fist to his lips and coughed softly, saying, "Go and bring all the calligraphy that Concubine Shu has written recently. I want to check it carefully to see if my student has made any progress."
Now?
Jiang Quan was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, you still have to attend court tomorrow. Checking your homework at this time may harm your health..."
"No problem!" Emperor Yuji waved his hand, "I will rest after you finish reading it."
"This..." Jiang Quan hesitated for a moment, then bowed and accepted the order, "Then I will go get it right away."
Looking at Jiang Quan's departing back, Emperor Yu Ji couldn't help but frown.
Although he had not been to Fanghua Palace in the past half month, he had not missed any of the calligraphy that Shen Qingtang practiced every day.
Her progress is obvious to all.
"But that's not enough." How can my students' calligraphy and painting skills lag behind others?
While Emperor Yu Ji was muttering to himself, Jiang Quan, who was ordered to take Shen Qingtang's calligraphy copybook, saw the papers scattered on the table. He hesitated and put the copybook with the most serious ink smudges on the top.
"Although adding icing on the cake is not as important as sending timely help, it is still a good thing." Today is another day for Zajia to do good deeds. Who else is more suitable for the position of the chief steward in front of the emperor than him? !
Given how much his emperor cares about Concubine Shu, it would probably be beyond everyone's expectations.
Since Lady Shu is destined to be favored, it is not impossible for Jiang Quan to add fuel to the fire...
Jiang Quan thought about it and a smile broke out on his face.
As a servant, especially a chief steward in the imperial court like him, if he did not have a smart mind, he would have been pulled down from the position of chief steward in the imperial court by that bastard Wang Mao long ago.
Thinking of Wang Mao, Jiang Quan felt a little apprehensive. This man was close to the Queen Mother and had complicated relationships behind him, so he had to be careful. Jiang Quan thought to himself and quickly withdrew from the study, carrying the copybook he had carefully sorted out, and hurried to the bedroom.
After Emperor Yu Ji corrected Shen Qingtang's sleeping position again, Jiang Quan also walked into the bedroom on tiptoe, holding a stack of calligraphy works stained by water.
"Your Majesty, I have taken back the calligraphy that Lady Shu practiced, but——"
"What's wrong?"
Under the expressionless gaze of Emperor Yu Ji, Jiang Quan carefully handed over the piece of calligraphy with the most serious ink smudges.
"Your Majesty, look, Concubine Shu must have damaged her eyes due to crying today. I saw several pieces of calligraphy were wet with tears, and this one was the worst." The handwriting was so blurred that he could hardly recognize it.
Emperor Yuji took the paper. The light in the hall was just right. Although the words on the paper were smudged by water stains, he could still recognize them.
Thinking of Jun is like a full moon, diminishing the brightness every night.
Emperor Yu Ji was silent for a moment, then looked at the other blurred calligraphy pieces one by one. His narrow and long phoenix eyes couldn't help but become deep and complex.
She really loves me deeply!
Thinking in his heart, Emperor Yu Ji turned back to the bed. He looked at Shen Qingtang who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and his cold brows softened at this moment.
Lady Shu's love for me is so direct and passionate, and I——
Thinking of what Concubine Zhengui said that night, his eyes could not help but flicker slightly. I care about Concubine Shu?
Emperor Yuji frowned. If he didn't care, why would he have taken a glance at Lian Chi and given her the honor of taking her into the harem?
Which man in the world doesn’t like beauties?
He is a man, and also the Son of Heaven.
As long as I am not obsessed with love, even if I care a little, so what? !
Emperor Yuji thought to himself, and his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples couldn't help but relax a little. As long as Concubine Shu doesn't take advantage of her favor and make mistakes in the future, I can still give her a little favor, but -
"...If you can remain true to your original aspirations, I will grant you true favor."
……
Perhaps it was because the cake painted by the emperor smelled too good, or because the fragrance drifted into his dreams, but Shen Qingtang slept particularly comfortably that night.
Birds were chirping in the morning. Shen Qingtang turned over in her quilt. When she woke up, she saw a ball of orange fur lying on a pile of calligraphy, snoring in the lingering scent of ink.
And that stack of calligraphy was exactly the one she had cried over yesterday.
Shen Qingtang pursed her lips and smiled, and immediately stretched her waist on the bed with satisfaction. There is still a long way to go, and she needs to continue working hard~
When she picked up Xiaojuzi, Shi Liu and An Lan, who heard the noise, appeared in the inner bedroom a short while later.
"My young master, you are awake. Do you feel any headache or discomfort?"
"I'm fine, but I feel a little dizzy." Shen Qingtang said, with a hint of doubt on his face: "Did I get these calligraphy works when I was drunk?"
How can a drunk person remember what happened after he was drunk?
When acting, there must be no mistakes, so that her purity and rarity can be revealed.
"My dear, you were drunk last night and almost fell from the tree. Fortunately, the emperor was there—"
Shen Qingtang's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Shi Liu and An Lan in disbelief.
"Did the emperor come last night?" Shen Qingtang panicked and asked hastily, "Then, then did I lose my composure after getting drunk?"
What she actually wanted to ask most was whether she had displeased Emperor Yu Ji.
Shi Liu and An Lan knew what she wanted to ask, so they helped her wash and change clothes, and told her what happened last night after she got drunk.
"…When he left this morning, the emperor even told the servants to prepare a hangover soup for you. It shows that the emperor cares about you very much~"
Thank you all for your recommendation votes, love you guys~ muahmuahbiubiu
