She let Lian Yun close the door, disregarding her image as she sat down on the bed, stretched out her hands to rub her knees, and also called Lian Yun who was about to pour her some tea: "Lian Yun, don't be busy anymore, we'll talk about it after a while."

Lian Yun had a difficult expression on her face, "But this servant wants to serve the Empress. The Empress had knelt for such a long time just now, so I guess her throat is also dry and thirsty.

After today's incident, Shen Qingwan had almost understood her situation. After entering the Emperor's side, she was a chess piece in the imperial court, a threat that everyone wanted to eliminate. Within the palace, her position was very eye-catching, not to mention her family, she had to take many steps to ensure that she did not make a wrong move, otherwise, what awaited her would be a deep abyss, with her body shattered into pieces.

Shen Qingwan had originally thought that Fu Yuheng would also go to Liu Xiaorong's place tonight, but she didn't think that he would come here. However, she still didn't have any feelings for Fu Yuheng, and only smiled faintly, "Don't be so anxious, didn't you have that crabapple egg two days ago? Just take it and put it on for me."

Hearing that, Lian Yun revealed a knowing smile, in her opinion, it was indeed so. Didn't the Emperor come to stay with the Empress to dress up uselessly, and in the end, even going to wear it. Furthermore, the Empress was naturally beautiful, it was already enough for her to be beautiful if she did not dress well.

When Shen Qing Wan saw Lian Yun's mocking expression, she knew that Lian Yun's thoughts and hers were completely different. She didn't explain anything, she couldn't possibly tell other people that the Emperor only talked to her over a quilt every time he came, right? No one would believe it even if they spread the news.

As the two conversed, Fu Yuheng had already arrived. He heard his father-in-law shouting loudly, "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived —!"

Shen Qingwan then walked to the entrance of the hall and greeted Fu Yuheng, who came over to greet her. Fu Yuheng helped her up and dismissed the crowd.

When only the two of them were left in the palace, Fu Yuheng asked, "How's your knee?"

Shen Qingwan was stunned for a moment, she did not expect him to ask about that, she shook her head and replied: "It's fine."

"Tell me the truth, did you push away this morning's matter or not?" Fu Yuheng asked again.

Shen Qingwan had never done it before, so she naturally would not admit it. However, she did not take the opportunity to make a complaint and only said: "Chenqie absolutely does not dare to harm Imperial Concubine. However, chenqie doesn't like Imperial Concubine, and Imperial Concubine punishes chenqie as well."

Seeing that she was reasonable, Fu Yuheng's eyes flashed with admiration. Ordinary women would not miss such a good opportunity to confide in others after being wronged like this. Shen Qingwan, on the other hand, was able to hold back and take stock of the situation.

As long as you understand, then it's fine. "Fu Yuheng took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Qingwan," This is a Jade Dew, it can activate the blood and remove blood stasis, and reduce swelling and scars. From the looks of it, you've knelt for a long time this morning.

Shen Qingwan took the jade bottle, stood up and placed it in the drawer, "Thank you Your Majesty, will Your Majesty be staying for the night?"

"Naturally," Fu Yuheng nodded. "Help me change."

Shen Qingwan agreed and helped him remove her court uniform. This night, Fu Yuheng did not allow Shen Qingwan to watch the night. The two of them slept on the ground and did not speak for the entire night.

The next morning, Fu Yuheng left early. When Shen Qingwan got up, she received his reward.

The one who gave the reward was the emperor's personal eunuch, Sun Ning. When he saw Shen Qingwan dressed in plain clothes, without touching her makeup, he knew that she had just woken up.

"Sun Gonggong." Shen Qingwan smiled and bowed.

Sun Ning said as his face broke into a smile like a chrysanthemum, "Concubine Xian, please receive it. The Emperor has specially given the Glazed Glass Mirror that is offered as tribute to the Empress this year. There are only three sides to this mirror."

Shen Qingwan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't understand Fu Yuheng's plan. If she gave him this mirror, it would be the true name of her beloved concubine. Those who hated her in the palace would only feel even worse.

Although she didn't know what was going on, she could only accept it with a smile.

"Thanks to your majesty, I'll have to trouble Sun Gonggong." Shen Qing Wan indicated for Lian Yun to accept the mirror, and took out a gold ingot from her sleeves to give to Sun Gonggong.

These little gold ingots were only the size of a finger. Shen Qingwan had prepared some for him after she entered the palace, and it just so happened that she could use them now.

Sun Gonggong received it with a smile, said a few more words of congratulations and flattery, then turned and left.

"Empress, this Glass Mirror is indeed extraordinary," Lian Yun said as she lifted the cloth covering the Glass Mirror. The Glass Mirror had a golden jade frame and its surface shone with a brilliant light, as if it was extremely clear, "This mirror is much easier to use than the Copper Mirror.

"No, I'll put it in the warehouse first." Shen Qingwan also looked at the mirror. It was indeed a good item, but his words and deeds were being watched by the people in the palace, so he decided to keep a low profile.

Lian Yun was puzzled, but she did not ask, and followed her orders.

The news spread extremely quickly within the palace, to say nothing of Fu Yuheng, who gave out rewards like that and it didn't take long for the entire palace to know about it. Everyone knew that the new Consort Xian was favored, and it was comparable to the new carrageenan when they were in their prime.

Of course, Shoukang also received the news, when the Empress Dowager was looking at Richie in the glass mirror, her expression was neither sad nor happy, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

The Kangmama by her side asked: "There is only you and the Emperor in the Mirror Palace, and now you are giving it to the Consort Xian. Isn't this a mess, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

"Go and summon the Consort Xian."

With that said, the empress dowager put down the grill, stood up, and picked up the buddhist beads to enter the buddhist hall. After the Kangmama helped her kneel on the prayer mat, he called for a palace maid to go and summon Shen Qingwan.
