Fu Yuheng picked up the book and put it down again. He felt disheartened. These trivial matters caused his heart to ache. He really did not know what the ministers ate and could not handle everything properly. Rubbing his throbbing temples, a figure appeared in his mind.
"Sun Ning, call the Consort Xian over."
"This... Your Majesty, this isn't appropriate. " Sun Ning hesitated for a while, but still asked. Originally, the harem couldn't be used as a political place, moreover, the last time the Concubine Xian was here, he had already been scolded by the empress dowager …
"This Emperor's words are useless!" Fu Yuheng glared at him. His cold gaze made him think that his head and neck would part in the next second.
He hurriedly lowered his head, "This servant doesn't dare." After taking three steps back, he started sweating profusely. The Emperor's temper was getting worse and worse, and only the Concubine Xian could calm him down right now.
In his heart, however, he felt sorry for her. After all, he had also heard about the incident last time. It was said that she was too stressed and sick. But now he had to summon her again.
"Sun Gonggong, what kind of wind brought you here?" Shen Qing Wan smiled, the Sun Gonggong in front of her was sweating profusely, her hair was a little messy from the wind, and she looked like she was escaping.
"Aiyo." Sun Ning frowned, he slapped his thigh and shouted: "Concubine Xian, don't joke with us, quickly go into the study room, the emperor wants to call you so badly, even if I have to, I can't stop you!"
When Shen Qing Wan came into contact with the Emperor, she knew his temper. The Sun Gonggong must have come on his orders, so she didn't make things difficult for him.
"Sun Gonggong, please wait for a moment." She did not rush, and only waved for Lian Yun to come over, "Bring the soup from my kitchen over."
When these words came out, Sun Ning appreciated the look in her eyes even more. Concubine Xian was the most considerate one, virtuous and virtuous, he was only so kind to the emperor, no wonder the emperor would place so much importance on her.
However, at this moment, he was truly mistaken. Originally, she wanted to drink this bowl of soup by herself, but if she went to the emperor now, the soup would become cold for a long time. It was because of this thought that she brought the soup along with her, but it was only to offer it as a gift.
Along the way, Shen Qingwan had thought of many things. Actually, it wasn't the first time the emperor called her to his study, it was just that she would often try her best to avoid him, after all, it wasn't a long term solution.
Sun Ning saw that she seemed to be thinking about something and did not disturb her, but continued to lead the way.
"Empress, we have arrived." He reminded her only when he reached the study door.
"Thank you, Sun Gonggong." After recovering from his thoughts, he took the boiled soup from Lian Yun's hands and entered the room.
As soon as she entered, a book was thrown at her feet.
"Humph!" Fu Yuheng sat there, fuming. He didn't know what was bothering him.
Shen Qingwan did not react, and only put down the soup in her hand. Then, she opened her mouth at a moderate pace, "Who has the guts to provoke the Emperor again?"
With a "pa" sound, he threw the other paper onto the table. Even the soup was almost spilled.
"It's still that bunch of trash!" His fist was about to land on the table.
She quickly picked up the bowl of soup. When her fist landed, the food on the table trembled. Just a little more and the bowl of soup would have been made for nothing.
"Please calm your anger, your Imperial Majesty." Seeing that his mood had become slightly calmer, he put down the bowl in his hands and walked over to help massage his shoulders and back. Even Fu Yuheng was astonished. When had she become so virtuous?
However, he could only squint his eyes in enjoyment, "You sure are obedient today." The depression in his heart became more dramatic. He looked down at the paper in his hand, read a few books, and then raised his head to look at the soup on the table. "Where did this soup come from?"
He didn't expect that she would bring soup with her today. He turned his head to look at the person who was massaging his shoulder. It was as if she had become a completely different person today, causing him to be unable to see it clearly.
"Chenqie made that soup for you in the kitchen." Shen Qingwan replied honestly, but did not say who was the culprit behind this trip. As a result, he took it for granted that it was specially made for him.
"Beloved concubine is kind." Fu Yuheng was more satisfied with this outcome, but he felt that something was amiss. Was she really that kind?
He turned his head to look at her, who had lowered her head to look at his eyebrows, and her gaze became increasingly serene and profound. "Speak, you should have something to tell me!"
Her words made sense. This soup was nothing, but today, she was indeed quite attentive to it.
Shen Qingwan covered her lips and smiled, "Your majesty really knows your concubine."
"Hmph, no need to be so polite." He stared thoughtfully at the soup on the table and signaled for her to bring it over.
Shen Qingwan followed his instructions and scooped up a spoonful of soup. This soup was still warm, so she placed it on her lips and blew on it. Then, she placed it in front of him, "Your majesty."
Being looked at with such a gaze filled with love made his heart feel dry. He really wasn't used to her acting like this, so he placed the bowl of soup next to his mouth and said, "Whatever you want to say, just say it."
It was unknown if it was because he was panicking or because he didn't have the confidence to speak.
"Mm …" "Your Majesty, look …" Shen Qingwan's delicate voice made even her hair stand on end.
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Fu Yuheng, "Stop! "Lovely concubine, it's better if it's more normal." He coughed lightly, his ears turning red.
This was the first time she saw him like this. She almost burst out laughing, but she still bit her lip to hold it in.
"Then let me be frank with you." Originally, she didn't like to beat around the bush, but today, she did ask for his help, which was why she was so bashful. He then returned to his normal tone before continuing, "I presume the emperor knows that there has always been a saying that a harem cannot be forced into politics, but chenqie is also willing to help the emperor resolve his troubles."
Fu Yuheng nodded and motioned for her to continue.
"However, chenqie often comes to the study room to receive pointers, but if someone sees me, they will definitely cause trouble." Shen Qingwan's expression started to turn serious, and she couldn't be careless about this matter. If this matter were to be used by someone, it would bring about a certain amount of loss to the Emperor's reputation, or to be more accurate, the Emperor's suspicions towards her.
"That makes sense. Then, what should we do in this situation?" Fu Yuheng used his hand to support his lower jaw and rapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. This matter was indeed caused by his inconsiderate thoughts. As he listened to her words, he could not help but sink into deep thought.
Shen Qingwan put down the bowl of soup in her hands and dropped to her knees. Fu Yuheng jumped up from his seat and asked, "What are you doing?"
