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

Chapter 9 Chanyue Palace

The furnishings in the house are simple. Several plum blossoms that have been carefully cared for have already exposed their buds. The sandalwood in the incense burner slowly rises and circulates in every corner of the house.

On the table were two steaming cups of tea and well-arranged chess sets. At this moment, behind the antique screen was the busy figure of Yang Wanyue.

Some time ago, Shen Yanzhi was devoted to the imperial concubine and had never stepped through the door of other concubines' palace.

However, tonight, Shen Yanzhi turned over Shu Fei's sign.

"I didn't know that Your Majesty would be coming tonight, so I didn't entertain you well. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Yang Wanyue lowered her eyelids, as if she felt guilty.

"Okay, stop working so hard. Come over here and you'll keep busy." Shen Yanzhi seemed a little irritable and pinched his brows, "I've heard that my concubine is very good at chess, so I came here today to learn from her. "

He's been a little irritable lately.

As for the imperial concubine, the more he thought about it, the more he felt there was something wrong.

She was obviously very smart late at night. Although she occasionally acted a little clever, she was just having fun with him.

On the other hand, looking back at what he did during the day and how arrogant and domineering everyone said behind his back, it was really confusing.

Yang Wanyue put on a smile, and the shyness in her eyes was touching, "Your Majesty, thank you very much. I only know a few things, and I must not compete with Your Majesty. But if I accompany His Majesty to cook two dishes of braised rice, I will I am extremely happy."

"Okay, stop trying to flatter me, it's your turn." Shen Yanzhi's black eye has fallen.

"Then I, my concubine, would rather be respectful than obey your orders."

"How are Lizi doing lately?" Shen Yanzhi asked casually.

"Your Majesty is worried. Lizi's leg injury is no longer serious. Although he can't run as freely as before, walking is no longer a problem. The imperial doctor said that you can take more walks with him to help his recovery."

"That's good." Shen Yanzhi said, but seemed a little absent-minded, "I don't know what she was thinking. She can't go on a good road without causing trouble."

She was self-evident in Shen Yanzhi's words.

Yang Wanyue pondered for a moment, then explained carefully and gently, "It is said that the situation was quite urgent at that time. My sister probably hurt Lizi by accident. Is Your Majesty still angry with my sister?"

Shen Yanzhi held the chess piece's hand and couldn't help but stiffen, but after a moment, he made a precise move and said as if unintentionally: "I have nothing to be angry about. I just think she shouldn't do this."

Although the words were unintentional, Yang Wanyue clearly heard the contradictions in the words.

"Sister really shouldn't be like this, but she has also been punished. Did I go to see my sister yesterday? The redness and swelling on my sister's face have not subsided, and it must be very painful." Yang Wanyue served Shen Yanzhixu hot tea and said sympathetically.

Shen Yanzhi snorted coldly, "He should be allowed to eat the bones."

He said this, but another scene emerged in his mind.

She still remembers that early morning, she said she accidentally fell down and scratched the wound, and the redness and swelling on her fair skin looked very dazzling.

Her delicate body is now completely ruined, and she doesn't know what it will look like...

Shen Yanzhi had so many thoughts in his mind that it took him a long time to hear Yang Wanyue calling him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why have you been distracted for so long? Is there something on your mind?"

"It's okay, it's just some complicated government affairs."

One set is over.

Yang Wanyue's eyes were rippled under her slender brows, and her eyes were shining brightly. Her voice was soft and gentle, "Your Majesty is really powerful, I admire you very much. I can study such a complicated chess game for many days." , and it may not be possible to crack it.”

Shen Yanzhi looked at Yang Wanyue's frown, smile, words and deeds, and subconsciously imagined the image of the woman stealing his own chess pieces in order to win. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Your Majesty suddenly laughed. Could it be that he thought of something interesting?" "There is nothing interesting. I just watched you say what I wanted to hear and remembered the historical allusions." Shen Yanzhi waved his hand and said : "That's all, I'm tired too."

Yang Wanyue stood up and walked to Shen Yanzhi's side, "In that case, let me sleep with your majesty."

The two went to bed in good order, but the distance between them was more than a foot.

No one fell asleep, and in the middle of the night, the two of them were as alienated as strangers.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Wanyue whispered softly: "Your Majesty, are you asleep?"

Shen Yanzhi said coldly: "Come on, my beloved, please rest early. There are many overweight things to deal with tomorrow." After saying that, he turned his back to Yang Wanyue and fell asleep.

Shen Yanzhi felt that that woman had secretly poisoned him while he was not paying attention, making him miss her unbearably after not seeing her for a few days. When he saw other concubines smiling at him, he would think of her...

But the more so, the more problematic it becomes.

He is the king of a country, and he is responsible for the important task of safeguarding the country and the country, and providing livelihood for the people. How can he be mired in such trivial matters?

The next day, go to the study.

Many reviewed memorials were placed in front of Shen Yanzhi.

The attendant eunuch Wang Lian brought tea and said, "Your Majesty, you have been reviewing for three hours in a row. Please take a rest."

Shen Yanzhi held the brush with his slender jade-like fingers while writing, and laughed angrily, "These old guys play what I want to see, but what is actually the case, they keep me in the dark."

Wang Lian lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"Okay, let's sort out what I have already approved."

When Shen Yanzhi was free to have a cup of tea, Wang Liancai boldly reported, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine asked me to ask you when she will go to Yikun. The empress said she has prepared a gift for you."

Shen Yanzhi put the tea cup down on the table with a clang and said angrily: "Wang Zhi, when and where will I go? Do I need to report to you?"

"Yes, your Majesty taught you a lesson."

Shen Yanzhi thought for a moment and then ordered: "I remember, did Meng Jieyu invite me to listen to her sing opera yesterday? You go and notify me and I will go there tonight."

He didn't believe that without that woman, he wouldn't be able to find happiness with other concubines?
  "Slave, let's do it now."

"Come back." Shen Yanzhi said again: "You will personally keep an eye on the tribute items from the Western Regions and distribute them to the various palaces."

"Yes."

"Concubine Shu has been playing chess with me recently. She has been very tired. I sent her the piece of red agate. If others ask, just answer like this and say it is my will."

Wang Lian didn't dare to express his arrogance. This person was not the imperial concubine.

The next day, Shen Yanzhi turned over Concubine Shu again.

The day after tomorrow, Shen Yanzhi turned over An Bin.

……

All in all, Shen Yanzhi seemed to have changed into a different person overnight and had never been to the imperial concubine's palace again.

The trend of favoring concubines in the harem suddenly reversed. The once wanton concubine was gone, and concubines from all over the palace bloomed to compete for the emperor's favor.

However, all the concubines can clearly see that His Majesty now prefers Concubine Shu.
