Rou Meier's words had not only provoked the relationship between the two Venerable Shen s and Feng Yu, they had also praised the Venerable Shen a little. Naturally, the simple-minded Venerable Shen had obediently fallen into Rou Meier's trap.
"Then between you, who should do this?" Venerable Shen had completely believed Rou Meier's lies.
"This Empress doesn't need to worry. The Empress only needs to do one thing." Rou Meier knew that she had successfully convinced the Venerable Shen, and couldn't help but reveal a proud expression on her face.
"What do you need me to do?" Venerable Shen should have already forgotten about her identity. As long as she can help Feng Yu, she wouldn't have to worry too much.
"The emperor will definitely bring along a concubine for his hunting. Of course, there's no doubt that this person will be the empress. What I want your highness to do is to win the right to be this casual concubine. " After he finished speaking, Rou Meier looked at Venerable Shen with confidence.
"What do you mean? You clearly know that the current emperor doesn't even look at anyone else. You want to make that region fight with that woman? Or could it be that you are simply toying with me? " When Venerable Shen thought about how Rou Meier was playing with him, his attitude suddenly became serious.
"What is your benefactor saying? Since Mei Er is sincere in wanting to help your benefactor, why would you come to your benefactor's territory to play with him? Your benefactor should listen to Mei Er's explanation of the situation." If anything happens to the crown prince that requires his mother to stay by his side, I believe the emperor won't forcefully take the empress away. " Rou Meier casually said.
"If something were to happen to the crown prince, I'm afraid the emperor would not go hunting." Venerable Shen started to laugh in his heart. Rou Meier was only so-so, to actually think of such a despicable method.
"That is to say, we will have to follow what happened to the crown prince." Rou Meier's eyes that were filled with confidence told the Venerable Shen that everything was under her control.
Feng Yu, who was at the side, was still accompanying Dou Dou in the garden, giggling and admiring the gradually fading winter mood in the garden. Feng Yu said lovingly with his eyes, "I wonder if our Dou Dou likes winter or spring?", Dou Dou, who was playing by the side, suddenly stopped and pondered for a moment.
"Your majesty the Emperor has arrived." Xuanyuan Zhan indicated for the eunuch by the side to not make a sound, and looked at the mother and son together lovingly. It was probably only at this time that he could see such a handsome youth's face full of rare smiles! In fact, Xuanyuan Zhan was not very old, it was just that his identity required him to be mature and steady, because every single movement he made was related to national destiny, he could not be careless.
At this time, Dou Dou opened his mouth and said, "I feel that there is a revival of all living things in spring that is luxuriantly purple in color; and there is his chilling winter that is quiet, as if all living things are sleeping. It is as if it is spring when you are with your mother, full of happiness and warmth. Yet, by royal father's side, all you can feel is a deathly stillness, as if your father doesn't know how to laugh, and will always have that cold expression. "
"This means that royal father is only busy with matters of the hand. When you reach your father's age, you will know how difficult it is."
"What he said isn't wrong. After so many years, I can only smile when facing you and your mother, because I truly feel happy from the bottom of my heart." It was rare for Xuanyuan Zhan to say these heartfelt words to them.
"This child knows that royal father isn't as heartless as how others see it, so here in Dou Dou's place, royal father isn't just a winter's worth of ice and snow, but a winter's worth of sunlight, which is especially warm and bright." Just as he finished speaking, Dou Dou had already threw himself into Xuanyuan Zhan's embrace, as if he was about to impatiently feel the warm sunlight.
The family spent a beautiful noon in the garden, Xuanyuan Zhan still had to return to the imperial study to correct his documents. Before leaving, he told Feng Yu that he would be leaving the palace to hunt for the day and that he would bring her along when the time came.
Not long after Xuanyuan Zhan left, Rou Meier and Venerable Shen came to the rear flower garden. It was unknown if it was an intentional or a coincidence.
"I was wondering who it might be. So it's our empress who's putting on such a show." Venerable Shen always wanted to ridicule Feng Yu with cold words.
Dou Dou saw all of this, other than the Venerable Shen, the one Dou Dou hated the most was Rou Meier who was hiding behind the Venerable Shen.
"Mother, Dou Dou wants to eat the soup that you made. Let's go back to the palace and cook for us." Dou Dou really didn't want to see these two disgusting women anymore. There was not a single point left to reward for the scenery of the back garden. It would be better to return.
"Alright, I'll go back and cook for you now." Feng Yu gently caressed Dou Dou's little head, then got up and left.
"This is nothing, he actually ignored me." Seeing Feng Yu and his men leave, Venerable Shen was filled with rage.
"Don't be angry, milord. The more the crown prince cannot leave the empress this time, the more beneficial his plan for us will become!"
It turned out that Rou Meier had already arranged for the maids in the crown prince's sleeping quarters to open the window at night, which caused Dou Dou to have a fever the next day. She told Feng Yu not to be too nervous.
After Xuanyuan Zhan found out about this, he punished the working night palace maid that day. In order to ensure the safety of the crown prince, Xuanyuan Zhan switched out all of the maids in the crown prince's sleeping quarters.
After eating Xue Leng's medicine, Dou Dou's fever quickly subsided. When Dou Dou opened his eyes, he saw his mother guarding beside his bed, and told Feng Yu that he wanted to eat her soup. Feng Yu was naturally extremely happy when she heard that Dou Dou wanted to eat something, and immediately went to make it.
It was just that tomorrow, Xuanyuan Zhan was going to leave the palace to hunt, and he did not want to leave Dou Dou. Therefore, Feng Yu found Xuanyuan Zhan and explained his intentions. Xuanyuan Zhan could naturally understand.
Thus, everything went according to Rou Meier's plan. The Venerable Shen took Feng Yu's place and followed Xuanyuan Zhan out of the palace.
Rou Meier's goal was to lure away the people around Feng Yu, so that once she leaves their protection, it would be much easier for him to approach Feng Yu.
Feng Yu, who knew nothing at all, simply continued to accompany her child, and waited happily for Xuanyuan Zhan's return from the hunt every day.
Of course, Xuanyuan Zhan was also worried, he knew that Feng Yu was the queen and although no one in the imperial court dared to oppose it, the danger in the imperial harem was not small. All the women in the imperial harem were eyeing the harem covetously, and although the ministers did not say anything, in their hearts, they hoped that their daughter would become the queen.
On the first day of the hunt, Xuanyuan Zhan found out that something was amiss, so he immediately returned to the palace. Rou Meier could not help but feel annoyed in his heart, wasting such a good opportunity, but in his heart she secretly resented the fact that Venerable Shen did not know how to take advantage of this opportunity.
Xuanyuan Zhan had secretly sent people to guard Feng Yu because he was afraid that Feng Yu would receive harm.
She realized that Lei Yushandian had always liked to follow behind her these past few days. Other than eating and sleeping, the other two were always following her like a little imp. Moreover, other than Xuanyuan Zhan, neither of them would listen to anyone else who was being loyal.
These two days he had been bored in the palace, and now he was busy dealing with women who intentionally made things difficult for him. Feng Yu thought to himself that it had been a long time since he saw Shangguan Qinger, and he wanted to find Shangguan Qinger to resolve his worries.
"Empress, where are you going?" The maid called Feng Yu, who was dressed like a commoner and was on the verge of leaving the palace, could not help but be nervous as she asked.
"Let's go out for a walk." Feng Yu said.
"But …" The maid wanted to speak but hesitated.
Feng Yu ignored her and left the chamber.
"Empress." Just as Feng Yu left the door, Lei Yushandian appeared again.
"Just what exactly is going on with you two? Why have you two been following me for the past few days?"
"Empress, the emperor has said that he wants us to protect your safety." Lei Yu said.
"Humph!" Feng Yu snorted coldly, "Protect me. I think the two of you came in's stead to monitor me."
When Lei Yushandian heard Feng Yu's words, he didn't know what to say. The emperor had indeed come to protect the Empress, but he had to admit that there was some meaning behind it, and the Empress wasn't wrong either.
After all, the two of them only knew how to listen to Xuanyuan Zhan. Forget it, that's fine, it was fortunate that Xuanyuan Zhan let the two of them follow him. Forget it, forget it.
In fact, Feng Yu understood in her heart, although Lei Yushandian had been following him around the entire time, they had to be the ones protecting him. Otherwise, in this fish and dragon harem, there would already be countless people wanting to kill him, but this Xuanyuan Zhan was simply too excessive, she had to make them follow him wherever she went.
"Forget it, forget it. If you want to follow me, then follow me!" Feng Yu said helplessly.
"But the Empress …"
"What now?"
"If you want to leave the palace, you need the emperor's permission." Lei Yu said.
"I understand, I'll go find him." Feng Yu said.
Within the imperial study.
"Xuanyuan Zhan, I want to leave the palace." Feng Yu said.
"No way!" Xuanyuan Zhan rejected without raising his head, he had long anticipated that she would come looking for him.
"Why?" Feng Yu said unhappily.
"The posthumous ceremony will be held in two days. I won't let you leave the palace at this time." Xuanyuan Zhan said.
Feng Yu smiled in understanding. Don't worry, I won't run, what's more, didn't you already tell Lei Yushandian to follow me around like a shadow all day long? "
"That won't do." No matter what, Xuanyuan Zhan did not agree to it.
