After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 5 Yikun Palace

Ren Yuhuan almost bit his tongue because he had dug a hole for himself.

Facing those dark eyes, her heart trembled, and she could only act coquettishly and reach out to hook the man's neck: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's my concubine's fault, please spare me for once, okay?"

She put her lips close to the man's earlobe, and the lingering hot air from her mouth and nose blew against the man's ear. It was obvious that Shen Yanzhi's body tensed up.

She had served him for three years in her previous life, and she knew a lot about him. Shen Yanzhi's ears were the most sensitive, and he would be moved by the slightest provocation.

"Just saying that, do you want me to spare you?"

The man's voice became obviously hoarse, and his slender hands clasped her waist and moved up inch by inch.

Ren Yuhuan breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his neck obediently, and asked as if he was confused: "Then Your Majesty... how can I be willing to spare my concubine?"

Shen Yanzhi's eyes became darker, he leaned over and picked her up, striding to the couch.

The lights in the side hall were dim, and the man put her on the couch and approached her.

Ren Yuhuan's face felt hot and he instinctively reached out to grab her belt.

"If you want me to spare you, be good."

Shen Yanzhi spoke hoarsely, his voice filled with lust, and then he opened his mouth to hold her tender earlobe, and loosened her already somewhat disheveled clothes with his rough hands.

"His Majesty……"

Ren Yuhuan couldn't help but let out a soft cry, but Shen Yanzhi captured his lips and tongue.

He opened his teeth and tried to tease her sensitivity very patiently.

The bed in the side hall was shaken all night.

Ren Yuhuan could tease him at first, but later she just cried and begged for mercy.

But Shen Yanzhi had no intention of letting her go.

When the banger struck the third watch, she had no strength left, her vision went dark and she fell asleep in his arms.

……

As morning approached, Shen Yanzhi woke up.

Looking at the sleeping woman beside him and the red marks on her fair neck, he couldn't help but press his eyebrows.

For some reason, whenever he was close to this woman, he found it difficult to control himself and couldn't help but want to keep her around him.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to get up..."

The eunuch's voice interrupted his thoughts, Shen Yanzhi responded, lifted the quilt and stood up to change clothes.

His eyes fell on the woman's face inadvertently, and he noticed that there seemed to be some imperceptible redness and swelling on the right side of her face.

Thinking of Ren Yuhuan being slapped, Shen Yanzhi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and pinched the woman's chin with his fingers.

Ren Yuhuan woke up with a start, his black and white eyes full of confusion: "Your Majesty?"

"What's going on on your face?"

Shen Yanzhi's tone was slightly cold, his rough fingertips pressed against her cheek, and his voice was slightly cold.

Ren Yuhuan's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

She was slapped by Ren Qianyu by the lotus pond, and the injury on her face had not had time to be treated with medicine to reduce the swelling.

She tried her best to look calm: "I fell down earlier and was accidentally injured..."

"Oh? So my concubine's skin is so delicate?"

Shen Yanzhi tugged at his lips, but there was no warmth in his eyes: "I heard that my concubine and your concubine fell into the water at the same time. Did they get injured at that time?"

Ren Yuhuan's eyes trembled.

Did he really know what happened by the lotus pond?
  She wanted her to be curious about herself, but she never thought that he knew about her exchange with Ren Qianyu! Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime of beheading!

Ren Yuhuan calmed down and said with a smile: "It's just...that girl is a little bit silly, and it's a joke to His Majesty."

The smile on Shen Yanzhi's lips deepened: "Is the hand on her hand feeling better now?"

Ren Yuhuan was wondering why he suddenly mentioned this matter, but Shen Yanzhi suddenly lifted the quilt, grabbed her injured hand and wrist, and pulled down the heavy sleeve!

In late autumn, there was already a bit of chill in the room. Ren Yuhuan's thin figure was sitting on the side of the square table, knitting a brocade hat in her hands. With a few dexterous movements of her fingers, the regular texture was already taking shape.

But today is also rare. Since Ren Qianyu didn't order anyone to torture her, she just went to show off again.

Thinking of this, Ren Yuhuan breathed out slowly, and seemed to finally be relieved for a moment, but there was a hint of cunning that was hard to detect in his slightly downward curved eyebrows.

She knew that although Shen Yanzhi didn't say it, in his heart he hoped that the person who stayed with him every day would be clever and sincere in getting some gifts for him, which would also set an example for the other concubines. But when Ren Qianyu was young, she devoted all her efforts to learning these things to being clever. Although she claimed to be versatile when she entered the palace, in fact, she only scratched the surface.

"Doctor Zhang, please come this way."

Ren Yuhuan's dexterous needle-threading hand suddenly paused. It was grandma, and she had invited an imperial doctor to come. From this point of view, it was easy to guess what Ren Qianyu was thinking.

The group of people pushed open the door and entered. Ren Qianyu said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, give her a good look."

After checking the pulse, Doctor Zhang stood up slowly and said, "Report to the Queen, this woman is not pregnant."

"You shouldn't. Have you checked carefully?" Ren Qianyu glanced at Ren Yuhuan coldly and said, "In recent days, the people sent by this palace can see clearly."

Doctor Zhang said, "I forgive you, but with more than 20 years of medical experience, I guarantee that there will never be any mistakes in the examination. However, judging from the pulse, she is relatively weak. She should be given some medicine to recover, and she will not take any medicine after that." .”

"Okay, please step back and remember what should be said and what should not be said." Ren Qianyu waved her hands, turned to look at Ren Yuhuan, and snatched the brocade hat from her hand, "Useless things, they only know how to make these bells and whistles." You can’t even conceive a child with such things.”

"Ren Yuhuan, do you still remember your smile last time? This time I have ordered someone to prepare something new for you. Enjoy it."

Seeing that Ren Qianyu was about to leave after saying this, Ren Yuhuan said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you heard just now that I have never been pregnant because I am weak. If your Majesty wants to inflict these punishments on me, I'm afraid I don't want to see the consequences."

Ren Qianyu twitched the corner of her mouth, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and said arrogantly: "Ren Yuhuan, are you threatening me?"

Staring at her extremely arrogant eyebrows, Ren Yuhuan said calmly: "Empress, I don't mean to threaten you, I just speak the truth."

The emperor favored a concubine for several days, but the concubine was not pregnant for a long time. The message spread in the harem, and rumors inevitably spread.

"This is really outrageous." Ren Qianyu picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Ren Yuhuan.

Ren Yuhuan was unable to dodge and was splashed all over his face. Fortunately, the tea had been left out for a while and was no longer so hot.

"Ren Yuhuan, don't forget who you are. You said you are weak. I will give you some time to recover. If you still can't, I will not let you go."

After Ren Qianyu and others left, the room instantly became quiet. Ren Yuhuan wiped the tea that was about to fall into his eyes, cleaned himself up, and then picked up the brocade hat that was thrown in the corner and continued to finish knitting.

That night, Shen Yanzhi turned over the imperial concubine's cards.

Ren Yuhuan waited for Shen Yanzhi to come over and asked him to close his eyes on the grounds that he wanted to give him a gift.

Shen Yanzhi was naturally unwilling at first. He frowned and said in a stern voice, "Nonsense, my beloved, why do you insist on me playing such a childish game with you?" Shen Yanzhi sat on the main seat with his hands on his knees, looking dignified, "You said you wanted a gift. Give it to me, just take it, there is no need to engage in these vain things."

Ren Yuhuan tentatively approached him little by little, first holding his arm, and then hugging him from one side. Seeing that Shen Yanzhi had no intention of refusing, she whispered in his ear: "If your Majesty thinks it is just a childish game, then It’s fine if I don’t give it away.”

Shen Yanzhi looked at her sideways and pretended to be angry: "Why is my concubine acting like a child again? It's a gift for me but you don't give it away. What's the point?"

After Shen Yanzhi finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Well, it seems that my beloved concubine does not welcome me here. I will go to other palaces to have a look."

Ren Yuhuan followed closely and ran to Shen Yanzhi. Tears filled her eyes and she looked at him softly, "How could your majesty tease me? In order to make this gift to your majesty, my concubine's hand was pricked." .”

She spread her hands and waved them in front of Shen Yanzhi, but when she was about to withdraw them, he grabbed her.

After seeing it, Shen Yanzhi pulled Ren Yuhuan back to the table, "For the sake of my beloved concubine's deep love, I promise you this time, but there must be no next time."

There was a smile on Ren Yuhuan's face again, "Your Majesty, please don't peek. I will go back to the house to get it."

When Shen Yanzhi saw the neatly woven brocade hat, he did not praise it first. Instead, he stared at the faulty embroidery and was lost in thought for a long time.

It is a picture of a dragonfly playing in the water.

"What's going on, Your Majesty? Is there something wrong with my concubine's retouching of the pictures?" Ren Yuhuan asked confused.

"That's not true. The embroidery work is exquisite and superb. The concubine's hands are very dexterous." And this is the key to the problem. Shen Yanzhi still remembers the last time he met the concubine in the imperial garden. She claimed to be afraid of insects and often avoided them.

But it is really incredible that a person who is afraid of insects can embroider to such an extent.

Shen Yanzhi's searching gaze shifted from his brocade hat to Ren Yuhuan's face.

The unfounded speculations that he had originally dismissed sprouted up one by one like mushrooms after a rain.

"Is it possible that Your Majesty doesn't like the picture that I'm showing off?" Ren Yuhuan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

A few days ago, Ren Qianyu came back from visiting the imperial garden with an angry look on her face. It was said that it was because the wasps were frightened. Unexpectedly, Shen Yanzhi not only didn't care about her, but also protected the flowers. Only then did Ren Yuhuan remember that Ren Qianyu was afraid of insects.

Ren Yuhuan did it deliberately today. If he wanted to protect himself, he could only hold on tightly to Shen Yanzhi, arouse his interest, and then slowly expose Ren Qianyu's ugly face in front of him.

Shen Yanzhi put on a smile and said, "How could I not like the gift that my beloved concubine personally prepared for me? Come on, put it on for me."

Ren Yuhuan smiled brightly and straightened the brocade hat for Shen Yanzhi, "As long as your majesty likes it, winter is coming soon. When I prepare the materials, I will knit another hat for your majesty and wear it differently."

Shen Yanzhi grabbed her hand and patted it gently, "I accept your concubine's wishes, but I have to be more careful next time."

It was late at night, and the shaking of the bed in the palace gradually stopped. The two of them slept opposite each other, unaware that they both had elusive thoughts hidden in each other.
