Quick Wear: The Scheming Female Supporting Role is Beautiful and Seductive

We walked for more than ten days in the wind and snow. The snow was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and only stopped for a few days in between.

Although the series of killings Pei Yanheng committed when he ascended the throne and afterwards were deeply rooted in people's minds and were horrifying, he was still a qualified emperor.

If snow falls for a long time, it becomes a natural disaster.

Pei Yanheng had been dealing with these matters for several days in a row, and the memorials he received were numerous. For the areas severely affected by the disaster, Pei Yanheng had also thought of countermeasures. He dispatched food and cotton clothes from nearby areas and had them delivered as quickly as possible. He also ordered the government to pay attention to and handle subsequent disaster relief and reconstruction matters.

As for some rumors that this was a punishment from heaven and that they were dissatisfied with Pei Yanheng's rule over the world, he was particularly disbelieving and sarcastic.

This is the position that has been passed down from generation to generation in his lineage. Besides, he was the one who sat in this position based on his own strength. How can other defeated generals have the qualifications?

If there is a punishment from heaven, why does it punish the people? Why did he close his eyes and not show his spirit when his father was wronged?

Pei Yanheng doesn't believe these, he only believes in himself!

Due to the bad weather, the journey was delayed. At the current speed, we might not be able to reach the capital before the end of the year.

Pei Yanheng was busy with government affairs, so Shen Zhaowan did not stay long. She only stayed for a few hours before returning to her carriage. However, she did not forget to instruct her servants to make some nourishing soup and send it over to relieve Pei Yanheng's fatigue.

Xueyu grew bigger and bigger, her body became rounder and more playful and cute. Her liveliness was lovable, and she would often jump around in the carriage after eating and drinking.

Fuling was smart and made some toys and clothes for Xueyu according to her mother's instructions.

"My lady, what do you think?"

Xueyu is wearing a plush jacket with plum blossom pattern on the edge, which makes her look even more beautiful and lovely.

"Wow, Fuling, you have really deft hands. Xueyu, come here, let me hug you."

"Meow~"

"So cute."

It was Xueyu’s first time to put on clothes, so she was not used to walking and was a little unsteady as she walked towards Shen Zhaowan little by little.

As he walked, he looked at Shen Zhaowan with his eyes wide open.

By the end, it was much better than at the beginning. The clothes had openings at the limbs, but it didn't feel restrictive.

"Xueyu, you're so good. Do you like it?"

Shen Zhaowan teased Xueyu's neck with her fingers.

"Meow~"

"My lady, look at Xueyu's expression. She is so comfortable. Can you forgive me for this?"

"Fuling, how could it bear a grudge? It lets you put clothes on it, which means it still likes you."

……

Shen Zhaowan's days were spent accompanying Pei Yanheng and playing with the cat. Under such circumstances, Pei Yanheng issued an imperial decree.

"Celebrating the New Year in the palace?"

Shen Zhaowan was only a little shocked when she heard the news. The temporary palace was five or six days' walk away from the capital, and since she couldn't rush back anyway, it would be fine to spend the New Year in the palace.

I heard that this palace was renovated when Pei Yanheng ascended the throne, and hot springs were re-introduced into the palace, so it is not deserted at all.

With hot springs to soak in, Shen Zhaowan was even more excited.

The temporary palace was named Ningchun Palace and was built on Yongfu Mountain.

When Shen Zhaowan arrived in front of the palace, she realized that the magnificent palace with carved beams and painted rafters stood on the top of the mountain. The snow on the roof of the palace was shining brightly in the clear sunlight.

Ever since the news of Pei Yanheng's royal intention to spend the New Year here came out, Eunuch Shi had already ordered people to clean and tidy up the place first.

So once you arrive at the palace, you can move in immediately.

The main hall was more magnificent, so Pei Yanheng naturally lived there. Shen Zhaowan was arranged to live in a side hall, very close to each other.

When officials far away in the capital learned that His Majesty could not return to the capital, they all wanted to rush to the palace to accompany His Majesty, but were rejected by Pei Yanheng.

He replied, "So what if they come? It's noisy enough!"

Although we held New Year banquets in previous years, they were the same year after year without any novelty. This year is special and we happen to be celebrating the New Year in the palace, which can be considered another kind of fun.

Pei Yanheng frowned and pushed aside all the petitions that were sent to the imperial palace, and only asked Qianlongwei to take some of the replies back to the capital.

Officials in the capital, headed by the prime minister, were also waiting for news from His Majesty, and some had even ordered their servants to pack their luggage.

"Everyone, there is no need to disturb His Majesty. We are going to the temporary palace. Please stay at home. Your Majesty has Lady Zhao to accompany you. This is His Majesty's holy will."

The prime minister took out the memorial and presented it to everyone, and everyone understood.

Lady Zhao?

This is the first concubine in His Majesty's harem.

Your Majesty actually accepted the woman sent by Xichang State for marriage, so does that mean...

Some officials who had daughters of marriageable age at home became more active.

"Then I will take my leave first."

With your majesty's sacred will, there was no point in staying here any longer, so everyone returned to their homes.

……

Shen Zhaowan returned to the side hall first. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve, and she had to make preparations. Pei Yanheng had endured it all the way, and she didn't believe he could endure it any longer in the palace.

She also made a special trip to the hot spring, which was located in the backyard of the main hall, next to a pavilion. White mist was rising everywhere, which was very inspiring.

New Year's Eve soon arrived, and the palace was decorated festively with red lanterns hung all over. The lanterns on both sides of the corridor were brand new, fluttering in the wind. The atmosphere of the New Year was felt closer and deeper in these preparations and decorations.

Shen Zhaowan deliberately wore a bright red Yanluo dress with exquisite embroidery. The hem of the dress dragged on the ground, and the edges were outlined with gold and silver threads. The waist and lapels were embellished with gems. When she walked, she looked like the morning sunshine pouring down.

According to palace rules, she could not wear this, but since this was a gift from Pei Yanheng, no one dared to object.

The dinner was held in the main hall. When Shen Zhaowan arrived, Pei Yanheng seemed to have just finished cleaning up.

"Your Majesty, I wish you good health, success in everything, and prosperity for your country."

Pei Yanheng put on his last outer robe with wolf fur trim and turned around with a disdainful look.

"Get up."

Today he was dressed more solemnly and exquisitely than usual, in a black suit with a waist and cross collar inlaid with gold thread, which made him look extraordinarily handsome, with cold sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, straight shoulders and back, and a tall figure.

The emperor's majesty spread, like an immortal descending from the clouds.

After the two of them sat down, Eunuch Shi began to call on the servants to serve the dishes.

The delicacies on the jade plate are dazzling, each with attractive colors and fresh smells.

Now that they can sit at the same table, Shen Zhaowan feels a little emotional. Not only Shen Zhaowan, but Eunuch Shi also has a lot of thoughts. Fortunately, Concubine Zhao is with His Majesty, so His Majesty will not be lonely on this New Year's Eve.

Pei Yanheng felt a little nervous. In previous years, during the New Year's Eve palace banquet, although all the court officials came to congratulate and there were many people, he always felt that his heart was not moved when he sat upright on a high chair. He held the wine cup, watched the performances and received compliments one after another.

The banquet was over, and he was the only one left in the huge palace, and he couldn't even wait for a family dinner.

This year is special. It is not as busy as previous years. Sitting with Shen Zhaowan, I feel a long-lost sense of peace, as if I have returned to my childhood.

This was the case with him, his father and his mother at that time. No matter how busy his father was, the family would always sit down together for meals. If some important events required the participation of his father, the prince, he would arrange everything in advance, and if he could not make it back for meals, he would bring some gifts.

Unfortunately, it is just the past after all, and the memory has become blurred.
