Rebirth: The imperial concubine is no longer jealous, and the emperor panics

Chapter 42: In Hanyuan Palace, dissatisfaction arises and love is far away

Shen Yao sat on the couch, covered in sweat.

In my ears, the little eunuch's shrill voice was still urging me, "Please take the imperial concubine's orders!"

She looked dazed, still trapped in the confused dream she had when she was young.

Chun Nong felt sad when she heard Shen Yao say she was homesick. Knowing that she woke up from the heat again, he quickly poured herbal tea mixed with rose honey and brought it in for her.

Chun Nong let Shen Yao lean on her shoulder and fed her water in small sips.

After drinking a glass of water, Shen Yao felt a little clearer.

The little eunuch raised his abrupt voice and urged, "Please take the imperial concubine's order."

Accept the purpose?

Shen Yao looked confused and looked up at Chun Nong, "Are you going to punish me?"

"What nonsense!"

Chun Nong patted her on the back and said comfortingly, "Someone from Xingning Palace wants you to go to Hanyuan Palace to attend the night banquet with His Majesty."

"Don't go!"

Shen Yao thought of that rainy night when she was kicked out by Lu Lingchuan inexplicably, and she felt angry in her heart.

"Your Majesty!"

This time it was Wang Dafu's loud voice who was making noise outside the hall.

"Thank you for your hard work and great blessings, father-in-law, later!"

Chun Nong led others to prepare hot water, and Shen Yao entered the bathtub to take a dip.

After feeling refreshed, she tied her hair and changed into a lake blue gauze skirt before coming out of the inner hall.

Wang Dafu said with a sad face, "My dearest lady, you have to be smarter this time."

"Eunuch Dafu, what's wrong?"

Shen Yao was frightened by him.

"Your Majesty, you still remember Xue Yue, the general at the edge of the town. He is the one attending your Majesty's banquet tonight."

"What is the general of the town? I don't know him! What does it have to do with me!"

Shen Yao said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, this is your Majesty's will. The sedan chair is already waiting at the door."

Wang Dafu said helplessly.

Shen Yao thought about it. When Xue Yue left Beijing, there were vague rumors that there was an instruction from the then crown prince Lu Lingchuan behind it.

She didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that this man is back, what does it have to do with her?

From Wang Dafu's words, Shen Yao knew that there would be no good dinner tonight. Who knew what bad intentions Lu Lingchuan had.

"Eunuch Dafu, I understand, so if you don't go tonight, will you lose your head?"

Shen Yao murmured in a low voice, walked to the lake and looked at the figure in the sparkling waves, "Such a beautiful and lovely girl, and still young, would not be beautiful if she had no head."

"Mother, what kind of joke are you talking about? It doesn't sound funny to me at all!"

Wang Dafu had a smile on his face, but his tone of voice sounded particularly miserable.

Shen Yao wanted to say that it wasn't all down to that dog emperor of yours!

Shen Yao turned around and returned to the inner hall. Since she was attending as the emperor's concubine tonight, etiquette must not be lost.

Chun Nong silently brought in a mother-of-pearl mahogany dowry.

Take out the four dragons and four phoenix crowns with pearls and emerald feathers and the imperial concubine Zhai Yi and Xia Pi from it, and put them on Shen Yao.

I applied a thin layer of powder and applied rose-colored lipstick. There is an indifferent and reserved face in the diamond-flowered bronze mirror, with long eyebrows and twinkling eyes.

Shen Yao took out a piece of red gauze, covered her face, and stood up slowly. Chun Nong helped her get into the long-awaited sedan chair.

That rainy night, Lu Lingchuan kicked him out of Xingning Palace, thinking that he would never see her again unless necessary in this life. Unexpectedly, just two days later, she would be called again.

Shen Yao knew Lu Lingchuan's bad temper, and he was still willing to see her when they broke up with each other that day. This was not an honor given to her to accompany the king, so she might have been holding it back for a long time.

In Hanyuan Hall, there was endless singing and dancing of silk and bamboo. The monarch and his ministers exchanged cups and cups, chatting happily.

Shen Yao Shanshan arrived late, and someone from the palace led her in from the main hall.

"The royal concubine has arrived."

The voice of the general came into the hall, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Yao, wearing a phoenix crown, walked step by step into the hall.

She slowly knelt down and saluted the emperor.

Shen Yao had been kneeling with her eyes lowered since she hadn't heard the sound of "Ping Shen" for a long time.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the moon-white dragon robe appeared in her sight.

A hand with clear joints clamped her arm forcefully, and Lu Lingchuan's clear and noble voice sounded above her head,

"My beloved concubine, I have been kept waiting for a long time today, and I will be punished with three drinks!"

Lu Lingchuan dragged Shen Yao up.

In the eyes of the courtiers, this was the emperor's intimacy and favor towards his concubine. But only Shen Yao knew how hard he grabbed her arm and how painful it was.

Lu Lingchuan held up his chopsticks and kept picking food for Shen Yao.

The fat chicken, bad goose, some eels and bear paws he served were all dishes that Shen Yao wouldn't eat.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I have had dinner before coming here."

She declined quietly.

This guy did it on purpose. He knew what she liked to eat and what she didn't like to eat.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Lingchuan had a smile on his face, and his eyes were gentle and filled with love.

He lowered his voice and said to her, "Your Majesty, you must eat all the dishes I have given you today. Otherwise, I will destroy your Shen family!"

The veil covered her slender face. She sat silently next to Lu Lingchuan, holding up the white jade chopsticks, unable to move her mouth in front of these meaty dishes.

Lu Lingchuan's voice, filled with coldness, crawled up Shen's back like a poisonous snake spitting out its poison.

"There are no outsiders here today, why are you so secretive?"

He sneered and reached out to lift off Shen Yao's veil.

"Be good! Open your mouth!"

Lu Lingchuan pretended to speak gently, picked up an eel segment, fed it to Shen Yao's mouth, and said loudly, "My beloved, you have lost weight in the past few days!"

The look in his eyes that looked over him was calm and authoritative, with the sternness and defiance of a superior, and even sarcasm.

Thinking of the threat that the Dog Emperor had just threatened to destroy her entire Shen family, Shen Yao opened her mouth helplessly.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Lu Lingchuan almost roughly thrust his chopsticks into her mouth.

When Shen Yao touched the slippery worm meat, she couldn't help but feel nausea and fear. She turned around and vomited it out with a "wow" sound.

Wang Dafu quickly held up a small spittoon, which happened to be next to Shen Yao.

"Your Majesty, you and the imperial concubine are so loving, so stop joking today. It's okay that Mingguang is discussing marriage, but General Xia is still single. You are trying to make him, a bachelor, sleepless!"

Zuo Ling held up a glass of wine and walked to the center of the Hanyuan Hall. "With this wine, I wish your majesty and your empress a deep love and a long life!"

Lu Lingchuan's dark eyes were full of wind and thunder, and he was staring at Shen Yao, wanting to snap her delicate and fragile neck!

After hearing Zuo Ling's words, he calmed down his emotions and looked up at the courtiers in the palace with a clear and magnanimous look.

"Zuo Ling, now that you are married, you will consider other people's feelings!"

Lu Lingchuan smiled and said, "Then today I will not only marry Mingguang, but also General Xia!"

Xue Yue and Xia Huaibei stood up at the same time, cupped their fists and bowed to the emperor.

"My beloved, please sit down!"

Lu Lingchuan asked again, "Mingguang, I heard that in the past few days since you came back, you have been looking at the noble girls in the capital. I wonder if there is someone you like?"

"Your Majesty is laughing! There are several elders in the capital who are thinking about their friendship with their late father and are indeed planning Mingguang's marriage enthusiastically. But Mingguang's ambition is not here. After paying homage to his ancestors, he is still willing to return to the frontier and serve the country. Efficacy!"

Xue Yue answered loudly.

Lu Lingchuan snorted coldly in his heart. In front of Shen Yao, this man was so brazen that he had no intention of marrying a wife. He simply didn't take him as an emperor seriously!

"I would also like to toast your majesty and your concubine. I wish you and your concubine a harmonious and unquestionable love!"

Xue Yue said sincerely, and then raised his hand to drain the sake in the bronze wine cup.

Others heard the words as ordinary blessings.

But when Lu Lingchuan heard this, he felt very impatient. I just felt that what he said was quite meaningful.

What is unquestionable love?

No doubt?

What a Xue Mingguang, so brave!

How dare you mock him!

He had to doubt it today. Not only must he be suspicious, but if he found evidence, he would have to kill Lingchi with his sword.
