Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

The palace was bustling with activity, with officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites working their butts off. His Majesty's birthday banquet had just ended, and the important matter of conferring the title of Empress was next, so all departments were busy making arrangements.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites shuttled between palaces, preparing for the various ceremonies and celebrations for the queen's coronation.

The ceremony of enthroning the new queen was being fully prepared, and officials from the Ministry of Rites were busy formulating the etiquette and procedures for enthroning the queen, ensuring that every step was in line with the dignity and tradition of the royal family.

The entire palace was filled with a tense and excited atmosphere, and everyone was working hard for the ceremony of crowning the queen. As the protagonist of this ceremony, Shen Yanyan was much quieter.

She lay in Yaohua Palace all day, not wanting to move at all. Xiao Jingzhan was like a hungry wolf. Since he started eating meat, he ran to Yaohua Palace every day. Even if he was busy with government affairs until late at night, he would come to Yaohua Palace to disturb her sleep.

He was not afraid of sudden death. He would rush to Yaohua Palace after finishing his government affairs every day. He had to get up early to attend the morning court every night until dawn. She was really afraid that he would suddenly die one day. He didn't need to sleep. Wouldn't he be tired?

Holding her slightly sore waist, Shen Yanyan felt that it was necessary for him to restrain himself, for his own sake and for his life!

As it approached late autumn, the weather gradually became cooler. It was boring to stay in the palace all day, so Shen Yanyan took Xia Zhu to the imperial garden while there was some sunshine today. It was boring to stay here every day.

In the Imperial Garden, Helian Fu sat in the pavilion sipping tea, looking at the colorful flowers in the garden, and sighed that this Li Kingdom was really a good place. The vast land was good. Look, it's almost winter and it's still like spring and summer, with flowers blooming all the time.

There is a reason why Xiliang covets the territory of Liguo so much.

Even he felt a little envious when he saw it.

Unlike the Northern Di people, there is rarely such scenery, it is either windy and snowy or yellow sand.

I heard that the imperial concubine came from the warm and mild Jiangnan region, no wonder she was born with such fair skin and beautiful appearance. Good feng shui is good for health.

Thinking back to all the information he had found about her, Helian Fu became a little curious. How did such a person who had been weak and sickly since birth acquire such great martial arts skills? He was quite impressed by her.

Shen Yanyan strolled around the huge garden, breathing in the fragrance of flowers in the air, her expression slightly relaxed. As expected, this imperial garden is always colorful, and even the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

No wonder the concubines loved to visit the Imperial Garden, probably because of the scenery.

Shen Yanyan strolled in the garden, enjoying the surrounding scenery with a happy mood. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light, like golden sand. The breeze gently blew through her hair, bringing bursts of floral fragrance.

Just as she was intoxicated by this beautiful atmosphere, her eyes inadvertently swept across a pavilion. Inside the pavilion, Helian Fu was sitting there quietly, like a peaceful painting. He had an upright posture, elegant temperament, outstanding appearance, and a cold aura, which was quite consistent with his title of God of War.

As if sensing Shen Yanyan's gaze, Helian Fu raised his head and met her gaze. When he saw her, a warm smile appeared on his face, like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely warm. He stood up and bowed to Shen Yanyan, his manners elegant and gentlemanly.

Shen Yanyan nodded slightly: "Thank you for your courtesy, Prince. Are you here to appreciate the flowers?" Shen Yanyan was a little puzzled as to why he was here. Although they lived in the palace, they were still some distance away from the Imperial Garden. Did he come here specifically to appreciate the flowers?

"I heard that there are many rare plants in your country's royal garden. It happens that I like flowers very much, so I came here to broaden my horizons. It is difficult to see such beautiful flowers in our Beidi." Helian Fu looked at the flowers in the garden with a serious face, seeming to appreciate them very much.

Shen Yanyan didn't look at him fascinated by the view, but opened her red lips slightly: "Isn't there such scenery in Beidi?" She knew that the place was cold and dry, but she didn't think that the prince had never seen such scenery.

Helian Fu turned his head to look at her, with the corners of his mouth raised, "No, I have never seen such bright and passionate flowers in Beidi!"

"That's a bit of a pity, but Beidi should also have different scenery. I heard there is a desert there, and the snow scene in winter is also very beautiful." Shen Yanyan had seen it in a geographical magazine, which said that the snow scene in Beidi was the best in the continent, with ice fields outside the region, boundless, and the natural landscape was magnificent.

"Oh, Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine likes snow scenes?" Looking at her glowing starry eyes when she talked about snow scenes, he asked curiously.

Shen Yanyan nodded, she really liked it.

She grew up in the Divine Doctor Valley, which is located in the southwest. It rarely snows heavily. Even if it snows, it is only a thin layer. In addition, the Divine Doctor Valley is located in a valley, so it is difficult for snow to accumulate. The snowflakes melted instantly when they fell to the ground. After returning to Yangzhou, she had never seen heavy snow and ice, so she was really curious.

"That's a pity. Beidi's snow scenery is world-famous, especially the snow scenery in Huiying Snowfield. It's no exaggeration to say that it's a masterpiece of nature. Every year, many people who love snow scenery come there after hearing about it." Helian Fu said as he looked at her longing expression, and his heart was moved a little.

He felt that such a stunning person should not be trapped in this deep palace. Looking at her vigor and the yearning for the outside world in her eyes, she should be a bird soaring in the sky.

"Really? I really want to go and see it." Shen Yanyan was a little curious about the Echo Snowfield he mentioned.

"Forgive me for being rude, but it seems to me that the Royal Concubine doesn't like it very much here!" The irrepressible desire to explore and the curiosity about new things in her eyes made her already beautiful eyes even brighter.

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. I am just curious about the outside world. The person I love is here, and it is better than countless places in my heart." Shen Yanyan spoke the truth. She yearned for the outside world, but now she wanted to be with Xiao Jingzhan more. She would have many more opportunities to see the outside world in the future, but she could not see it for a lifetime. As long as Xiao Jingzhan was in the palace, she would be with him for one day.

Helian Fu looked at the love and determination in her eyes, and felt a little jealous of Xiao Jingzhan. He was really lucky to meet such a beautiful woman. She was devoted to him, but Helian Fu didn't like the love in her eyes for no reason, and his expression became a little colder.

Seeing Shen Yanyan's gaze turning towards him, Helian Fu once again had a warm and gentle look.

"The Emperor Li is truly blessed!" Helian Fu still had a smile on his face, but his eyes had turned cold.

"If the eldest prince needs anything in the palace, please feel free to find a palace maid. The eldest prince, please take your time to look around. I have something else to do, so I will leave first." Shen Yanyan did not answer his question. She just said hello and left.

Watching her leaving back, Helian Fu drank the wine in his hand with an ambiguous smile on his face.
