Shen Qingwan followed right behind him. No matter what, she wanted to stay by his side today.
Even though he was the Ninth Five Supremes, he was a man of flesh and blood, and if that was the case, how could he not be tired? Even if she was slightly unwilling to do what she had done last night, she was still someone close to her bed. There was no need for her to worry about such a trivial matter.
About four hours later, Fu Yuheng finally raised his head from the table. He saw her leaning against it, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was already asleep. In his hands was an embroidered handkerchief.
As the night grew darker, Fu Yuheng and she returned to her courtyard. Fortunately, there was no one outside and few people had seen them. However, the news would probably spread that they had been sleeping in her courtyard for two days straight. It was already too late. If she rejected it, it would give the impression that he wanted to welcome him but refused, so he might as well accept it with confidence.
In the morning of the next day, Shen Qing Wan asked Lian Yun to prepare the materials to embroider the money bag. However, the way the money bag was embroidered made her feel unsure of what to do after thinking about it for a while.
"Lian Yun, come with me to carrageenan." Since she really had no other choice, she could only go to Li Ruotong's place and ask for help. At least, it would be better if she could ask for help by herself and think about it.
It was unknown if it was because of the worries in his heart, but even his footsteps became faster.
"Qiushui, is your mistress here?" When they arrived at the courtyard, they found that Autumn Water was about to leave, so they pulled her over to ask.
"Concubine Xian?" Qiu Shui was stunned as she was grabbed by the sleeve. When she looked up, she saw it was Shen Qingwan. She quickly greeted, "Reporting to the Empress, the Empress is in the room." His mistress had just woken up and was on her way to fetch breakfast.
Shen Qingwan let go of the hand that was holding her sleeve, and kept thinking. She didn't notice her actions and words at the moment. She turned around and walked toward Li Ruotong's room.
Lian Yun, who was watching at the side, could only shake her head. The Empress had been extremely nervous these past few days, and was so worried that she refused to speak last night. Her face today was like peach blossoms, perhaps even she did not know.
It could be said that when the bystanders saw the situation, Lian Yun felt that her own mistress had fallen for the Emperor.
"Elder Sister Consort Xian?" When Li Ruotong saw her rushing in, he was startled, like autumn water, and obviously did not expect her to come so early in the morning. She thought that something had happened, but seeing that she could not hide her smile, she became suspicious.
"Ruo Tong, I have something to ask you." Shen Qingwan sat on the edge of the bed without saying anything. He took out a black bag from his chest and looked a little worried.
Receiving the bag in her hands, Li Ruotong turned it over and over again, only feeling that there was nothing abnormal, "What's wrong?"
Shen Qingwan pursed her lips. She felt a little embarrassed, but in order to complete the mission, she still struggled a bit before opening her mouth and asking, "If I were to embroider a lotus for the emperor, what kind of embroidery would be more suitable?" Her fingers moved back and forth on the corner of her clothes, and her heartbeat sped up.
Is this to embroider a lotus pendant for the emperor?
Li Ruotong looked at her doubtfully. She remembered that she didn't know how to embroider things, so why did she suddenly remember to give the Emperor the embroidered bonus bag today? Thinking like this, she asked, "Elder sister, why did you give the embroidered bag to the Emperor?"
Could it be that she was moved by the emperor? Frowning, she glanced at Shen Qingwan who was still immersed in her thoughts. She had clearly warned her before, but she didn't expect that she would still fall in.
"Since it's the emperor, then the bag must have something with a creative concept embroidered on it. I'm afraid that elder sister can't do it because elder sister can't do it either. Otherwise, it would be like embroidering an auspicious cloud, or else, it would be a bit more vulgar and the bamboo would just have to come out."
Shen Qingwan nodded, "Little sister is really smart, but this embroidery is really too difficult. Little sister, can you teach big sister?"
"Sigh!" Forget it, I'll get Autumn Water to bring some needle and thread over later. Seeing how smart big sister is, it definitely won't take long. "
Once the problem in her heart was solved, Shen Qingwan started to avoid seeing Fu Yuheng. Indeed, she had been getting too close to him in the past few days, and was finding it harder and harder to control his emotions.
"Elder sister, you have to be careful." Li Ruotong saw her distress and thought for a while, before deciding to remind her again, "But once you fall for the Emperor, even if the journey is going to be difficult, I hope that you won't be too reckless and stubborn. Perhaps, it might not be a bad thing. "
