"Your Majesty …"
Shen Qingwan picked up the dish and was about to put it into her mouth when she saw a yellow figure at the entrance of the courtyard. She put down her chopsticks and stood up, bowing. However, there was a clear look of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"The emperor really did come at the right time …" He muttered softly, but didn't expect that Fu Yuheng would pay attention to him.
"The Consort Xian seems to be very against us?" Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows. This woman seemed to have become bolder and bolder ever since she came out of prison. Yet, she still dared to provoke him.
However, there was no anger in his heart. Instead, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"The two concubines are really in a good mood today. Why didn't they invite us to have a meal together?" As he spoke, he lifted up his robe and sat down.
"Go and get a pair of chopsticks." Shen Qing Wan naturally did not want to say much, but Zhao Yuanrong waved his hand and asked Dong Xue, who was beside him, to go to the kitchen and bring out a bowl and chopsticks.
Shen Qingwan, who was standing at the side, would definitely be able to see through it. However, she suddenly recalled that the Consort De didn't seem to be very favored by the emperor, who probably hadn't been to her courtyard for a long time.
"Eh? royal father! " At this time, Fu Lingling, who had gone to wash her hands, also returned. Seeing that there was an extra person on the table, his first reaction was to stand in place blankly. When he looked again, he realized it was his own royal father, and the smile on his face immediately spread outwards.
mufei didn't lie to her. She was obedient, so Imperial Father really did come to see her.
"Oh? Ling Ling is here too. " Fu Yuheng was taken aback for a moment before he also rejoiced. He stood up and took two steps forward. He extended his arm and pulled the little girl into his embrace.
"Screech ~ ~" Have Ling Ling eaten some good food in the past few days? "It's a lot heavier." As she teased, she rubbed her chin against her forehead, causing Fu Lingling to giggle.
"Come down!" When Consort De saw this, she started to panic a little. Wouldn't this make the emperor unhappy?
As he thought of this, he quickly took a step forward and was about to take Ling Tian, but he was dodged by Fu Yuheng.
"Consort De, what are you doing? We just want to be intimate with our daughter, don't tell us that we have to do that too?" Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows, while his eyes were filled with anger.
"The Big Sister Consort De is afraid that Ling would be too heavy. The Emperor has been tired for a long time, if he were to tire the Emperor to death, it would be our fault. "I was too anxious and forgot my manners. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Shen Qingwan saw that she had lost control of herself for a moment and sighed.
It was because her love for the emperor had been too deep that she had gone too far in addition to the scheming and scheming within the palace.
However, since she was already on her side, she would naturally help. She couldn't let something go wrong at this moment.
What's more …
Shen Qingwan glanced at the little girl in Fu Yuheng's embrace. She was extremely fond of her.
"Forget it. Today, regardless of whether the Emperor or the officials present, let's just let them go." After Fu Yuheng finished speaking, he once again teased Ling Tian, who was in his embrace, as his eyes grew a little gentler.
In reality, it wasn't because she had eaten too much in the past few days. It was just that Fu Yuheng hadn't seen her in her bedroom for a long time. It was only because of this that he felt much heavier when she hugged him.
Everyone knew this, but no one came out to point it out. On the other hand, when Fu Lingling heard it for real, she started to get annoyed. Could it be that she had really gotten fatter in the past few days, causing royal father to be unable to carry her anymore?
"Father... Isn't Ling Tian too fat, that's why royal father doesn't like hugging Ling Ling. " She lowered her head and spoke with a hint of disappointment.
Just as these words fell, Zhao Yuanrong felt his heart thump loudly. When he looked at Fu Yuheng's face again, he did not see anything wrong with it. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"Eh? No matter how heavy Ling is, I am still royal father's princess, so royal father will naturally like it. Don't say such words again in the future. " Fu Yuheng knocked on her forehead with a doting look in his eyes.
He had just lost a princess, but now he treasured his relationship even more.
Furthermore, thinking about it, he had indeed neglected Ling Ling for too long. In that moment, he felt a little guilty.
Zhao Yuanrong only watched their interaction with trepidation. Now that her daughter was here, she was even more afraid of provoking the Emperor, so she vented her anger on her.
However, it was clear that she was overthinking things. Fu Yuheng's mood seemed to have improved a lot these few days. Especially since he had temporarily put down Shen Qingwan's crime. His heart had fallen to the ground and he didn't feel too much hostility.
"The Emperor doesn't know. Recently, Ling Ling has been talking about the Emperor. He said that he misses Imperial Father." Shen Qingwan was clear about it. She knew that Fu Yuheng was in a good mood and was willing to help Consort De.
She then looked up and saw Fu Lingling also bury her head in Fu Yuheng's chest. Her small face was flushed red, as if she was shy.
"Father …" Scratching his head with a little dissatisfaction, the atmosphere between the few of them became harmonious, and even Zhao Yuanrong began to laugh foolishly.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be tired, but Ling Ling has been sticking closely to you for the past few days, which is quite embarrassing for your majesty." The smile on her face became more coquettish. It was as if a few peach blossoms had bloomed on her face, causing people to be unable to open their eyes for a while.
Fu Yuheng looked at her with a slightly deeper gaze. It had been a long time since he went to Consort De's courtyard. Now that he looked at her again, it was quite a different story.
"Rong'er is too courteous, Ling Ling is my child, how could I avoid her?" A dubious look flashed across his face, causing the blush on Zhao Yuanrong's face to spread even more, as if plum blossoms had bloomed in winter.
Seeing the two of them act this way, Shen Qing Wan did not speak, but the taste of the dishes in her mouth seemed to have lightened up a little. However, she had really helped Consort De a lot.
"I believe that my beloved concubine must be tired from taking care of Ling Ling these days. But I have been too inconsiderate and forgot to help my beloved concubine recuperate in the past few days." Fu Yuheng put down Ling Ling who was in his embrace and held Zhao Yuanrong's beautiful hand.
"Thank you, your majesty. I'm just a concubine, how would I dare trouble your majesty?" His words were flawless, but there was a hint of rebuke on his face.
"Ha ha!" Fu Yuheng burst out in laughter. It was obvious that her actions and attitude were in accordance with his wishes.
"I will come see you tonight, but remember to leave the lights on for me."
As she spoke till here, Zhao Yuanrong's eyes lit up. To her, this was a pleasant surprise, and she knew that it was due to Shen Qingwan's contribution. She gratefully looked at Shen Qingwan, and then, shyly responded to Fu Yuheng.
