After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Emperor Qing Ling looked at the food box in Concubine Shu's arms. In order to keep it warm, she actually held the food box in her arms and warmed it with her body.

He raised his hand to take the food box and said in a deep voice: "Wei Weiran, go and get my hand stove to warm Concubine Shu."

Wei Weiran said hurriedly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qingling carried the food box, took her hand to the royal table, put down the food box, placed her on a stool beside him, and opened the ginger soup.

He smelled it and said, "Yao He is always so heart-warming. In comparison, it seems that I don't understand the style."

Concubine Shu lowered her head and chuckled: "If it were to come out that the emperor kept me and Ying'an overnight two days ago, everyone in the world would blame me for being a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people. The emperor actually said that he did not Understand Fengqing, if Your Majesty doesn’t understand Fengqing, then all the men in this world will die.”

Her voice was soft and seductive.

Emperor Qingling took a sip of the ginger soup and said, "Yesterday I heard that a dark shadow appeared in Guangling Palace. Did you notice anything unusual?"

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Concubine Shu.

For some reason, Concubine Shu did not dare to look directly into his eyes.

Since the miscarriage, she had noticed that the emperor's feelings for her were becoming more and more intense. The eyes he looked at her were as deep as the sea and could not be let go.

For example, now, the worry and concern in the emperor's eyes actually made her feel guilty for no reason.

She said calmly: "No, everything was as usual in Guangling Palace yesterday, there was no shadow."

Emperor Qing Ling frowned slightly, turned around and sat down at the imperial table and said, "It's okay if you don't. I'm still worried about something happening to you and Ying'an."

After hearing the words, Concubine Shu slowly stood up and stood beside Emperor Qingling to polish ink for him. She said in a warm voice: "The emperor treats me so well, it makes me feel a little uneasy."

Emperor Qingling stopped reviewing the memorial and looked sideways at her: "Why?"

Concubine Shu avoided his eyes and her cheeks turned red in embarrassment.

"Fear is as fleeting as candlelight and night-blooming cereus."

She said, the loneliness in her eyes almost overflowing.

He just glanced cautiously at Emperor Qing Ling, and Emperor Qing Ling's heart was about to break.

He raised his hand and held her hand, the temperature in his palm was frighteningly high.

Wei Weiran hurriedly walked in with a hand stove, and what he saw was the scene of two people looking at each other lovingly.

He quickly lowered his head, stepped forward, placed the stove on the royal table, and said, "Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Master is here."

After finishing speaking, both of them paused.

Concubine Shu's heart dropped. Prince Heng really didn't dare to do anything to Master Fourteenth.

She did not hesitate, bowed her knees and said softly: "Since the Fourteenth Master is here, I will leave."

Just as she was about to retreat, Emperor Qing Ling held her hand.

Very hard.

It was as if she was being carved into his bones and blood.

His voice was low: "It doesn't matter, stay with me."

Concubine Shu lowered her head and nodded gently.

He secretly exerted force on his hand, trying to pull it out of Emperor Qing Ling's hand, but to no avail. She whispered: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Qing Ling looked at her with a smile.

The next moment, Master Fourteen walked in.

What caught his eye was the sight of Emperor Qing Ling holding Concubine Shu's hand.

He had no expression, knelt down and saluted and said: "My brother, please give my regards to the emperor."

"I've met Imperial Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu whispered anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Master is here..."

Emperor Qing Ling chuckled softly, finally let go of her hand, pointed to the seat on the other side and said to the Fourteenth Master: "Xue Zhen is here, sit down quickly."

The Fourteenth Master nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Shu walked around the royal table, bowed to the Fourteenth Master, and then sat back down.

The Fourteenth Master glanced at her doubtfully and then laughed: "Brother Huang and Concubine Shu are really in love as deep as the sea, which makes me envious."

Emperor Qingling laughed and said cheerfully: "Want to start a family? If you tell me a word, I will send the best women in the world to your house for you to choose from!"

The Fourteenth Master lowered his eyes and shook his head with a smile: "No, no, no, I only want to travel around the world. Starting a family and starting a career is not what I want."

Emperor Qingling glanced at him angrily, then looked at Concubine Shu, pointed at the Fourteenth Master and said, "Xue Zhen, you have always had this temper. Every time I said that I wanted to find a match for him, he refused, Concubine Shu. , I remember that you have a younger brother in your family, has your younger brother ever yearned for the splendor of the world so much?"

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and laughed: "I really have a fate with the emperor. My brother also wants to travel around the world every day. He even said that he would be a free traveler, taste all the delicious food in the world, see all the beauties in the world, and travel The scenery of the world.”

Emperor Qingling raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I didn't know that the Prime Minister had such a free and undisciplined young master?"

Concubine Shu said calmly: "My concubine's brother never likes to appear in public, and few people in the capital know his appearance. It is normal for the emperor not to know."

The Fourteenth Master was standing aside. He just glanced at Concubine Shu, then moved his eyes and said, "I have heard that there was a stunning man in the capital. He was seventeen years old. He was good at calligraphy and painting. Many women are attracted to him, but few have seen his true appearance. Could this man be Concubine Shu's brother?"

Concubine Shu nodded: "What the Fourteenth Master said is indeed my younger brother."

Emperor Qingling thought for a moment and then said: "In seven days, there will be a winter poetry meeting in the palace. Every year before the Spring Festival, young ladies from various families will come to the palace to participate in the poetry meeting. Firstly, it is to strengthen the relationship between the ministers and recruit people for the court. Recruiting talents, the second is to let the prince get to know new people, paving the way for future walks in the capital. Since the prime minister's son is quite talented, let's join the palace together. Seventeen years old? It is the age to get married, Yao He , what do you think of my proposal?"

Concubine Shu stood up, knelt down and said, "I think the emperor's proposal is very good."

Emperor Qingling waved his hand: "That's it, it's settled, Wei Weiran, you go and reward the son of the prime minister, Concubine Shu's biological brother, with the picture of wind and snow outside the Great Wall that I have privately hidden, and then give me a message, seven The prime minister’s son must be present at the winter poetry gathering in the future.”

Wei Weiran was shocked.

The picture of wind and snow outside the Great Wall was brought as tribute by a previous trip eastward. It is said to be an out-of-print work by a great painter. He came across it by chance during his trip eastward. The painting was like a dragon flying in the sky. The artistic conception was profound, and the scenery outside the Great Wall was vividly before his eyes. He had seen it by chance. At one glance, you will be amazed and have no regrets in this life.

Now the emperor actually wants to give this picture of wind and snow beyond the wall to the prime minister's son.

Such an honor, I'm afraid the capital will have to discuss it for some time.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it now."

As soon as Wei Weiran left, the Fourteenth Master said: "Brother Emperor, this picture of the wind and snow outside the Great Wall depicts the border line vividly. You rewarded this picture to the prime minister's son, not just to let him participate in the poetry meeting, right?"

Emperor Qing Ling looked at the Fourteenth Master, curled his lips and said: "It is better to learn from the truth and understand me. Since he is quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting, he can imitate the picture of the wind and snow outside the Great Wall to describe the eastward journey for me. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be invincible in a hundred battles." , this is what I mean.”

Concubine Shu was standing aside, her expression suddenly changed.
