The neatly folded handkerchief was stretched out in front of him. Shen Yudong pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then took it softly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhuang."

This satin handkerchief is finer than cotton, but not as comfortable as satin. It is not as good as the materials used by the upper class in Chang'an City, and it cannot be compared with those used in the palace. But Shen Yudong still tightened his grip, feeling that the feel of this satin was also very good. of.

He lightly dipped it under his eyes and said, "I've soiled this. Can I return it to you after you wash it off?"

Zhuang Mo looked at Princess Jingshu, who still had some water vapor in her eyes. He wanted to say that there was no need to pay it back, but he accidentally met her eyes and said "Okay" in a strange way.

Shen Yudong raised the corners of his lips slightly and wanted to say something, but he had no choice but to lower his eyes and unconsciously grasped the handkerchief harder.

Zhuang Mo also felt an unfamiliar heat on his face, and his throat was dry, as if something was stuck in his throat. He was always eloquent, but at the moment he couldn't say anything.

The two of them just stood there with their eyes lowered, but their eyes fell on each other inadvertently. After just a moment, they hurriedly retracted and took a few steps back without leaving any trace.

If you ignore the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two, it would be a bit more beautiful than the scene in the storybook where the young man meets the beautiful woman.

"Princess? Princess, why are you here? It's easy to find this slave." Qiu Shui hurried forward with her skirt in hand. When she saw Zhuang Mo, she immediately saluted, "Master Zhuang."

Zhuang Mo nodded, "Wei Chen will leave first."

Shen Yudong took a few steps back and thanked Zhuang Mo again.

Qiu Shui was about to help the princess leave, but found that her makeup was stained, and said hurriedly: "Did the princess cry? Could it be that someone bullied the princess? Could it be Mr. Zhuang?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Zhuang helped me." Shen Yudong hurriedly grabbed Qiu Shui. She and Yue Ying had been by her side since they were young. They were well aware of Qiu Shui's straight-forward temperament and said, "Help me go wash up first. No one can see me like this."

······

He was toasted by the ministers at the palace banquet. Even though the emperor had a good drinking capacity, he was still a little tipsy at the moment.

Normally, An An would have someone cook him a bowl of hangover soup or go for a walk or blow in the breeze with him, but now that An An was resting, Shen Yanzui dismissed the followers of the officials and sat in the pavilion to play chess with him.

"The summer wind caresses the green mirror, the willow leaves on the embankment are green, the mandarin ducks stir the silk waves, and the cicadas chirp all night long."

"who is it?"

Ana Shen followed the sound of a beautiful woman and saw a woman with long hair hanging down her waist, standing by the lake, with a magnolia hairpin in her hair that was elegant and unique.

After looking up for a moment, I felt that although this woman's appearance was not of the highest quality, her simple yet refined outfit made her look a little bit otherworldly, and she unconsciously caught the man's gaze.

Ana Shen's eyes paused, and he couldn't help but think of Su Ning'an when he first met her. She was also dressed in white under the moonlit night. She was smart, charming, naughty but earthy, all of which were different from the bookish aura of this woman.

"My maiden pays homage to Your Majesty."

The woman was dignified and courteous, unlike others who were either frightened or catered to him when they saw him, but in front of her, he, the emperor, seemed to be no different from an ordinary person.

"Did you write the poem just now?" Ana Shen walked out of the pavilion and couldn't help but look at her with more admiration.

"My servant is not talented. Seeing the beautiful scenery in the princess's mansion, I blurted out this, which made the emperor laugh."

"This poem is well done." Fu looked at it a few more times before saying, "Whose family are you from? Did you come here with your family?"

"My daughter, Sheng Yue'er, and her brother, Sheng Heng, serve as military guards. My daughter is not talented. She read some books when she was young. When Prince Jin saw that my daughter knew a few words, he asked her to serve as several of the people in the palace. Enlightenment for the young princess.”

"Oh?" Shen Yanzui raised his brows, thinking it was quite interesting, "I never expected that a thoughtful person like Sheng Heng could raise such a beautiful and refined sister like you."

Sheng Yue'er smiled lightly, "My brother has been working hard to support the Sheng family since he was young. Apart from the side branches, there are only two people left in the Sheng family, the daughter and the brother. My brother's plan is just to keep the Sheng family alive."

"Huh!" Shen Yanzui's eyes darkened. Don't think he couldn't see it. Although Sheng Heng betrayed King Jin and expressed his loyalty to him, his thoughts towards An An were not pure!

It's just that she is his noble concubine, Sheng Heng doesn't dare to take action!

If they were other people's wives and concubines, it would be really hard to say with Sheng Heng's fierceness.

Shen Yanzhui glanced at Sheng Yue'er and then said, "Can you play chess? How about a game with me?"

Sheng Yue'er looked at the chessboard with black and white stones intertwined on the stone table in the pavilion from a distance, and her eyes lit up, "My chess skills are not good. Your Majesty, please don't laugh at me when the time comes."

Although it was hot in July, an ice basin was already placed in the room, which was very cool.

So Suningan slept very comfortably for more than an hour.

Yawning, she let Cuizhu help her change her clothes and freshen up. After leaving the room, she looked at Anli, "Where is the emperor?"

"Your Majesty drank too much. I will take your Majesty with you right now."

As Anli and Gu Yu'an arrived at the Imperial Garden, they heard from a distance that the emperor in the pavilion mentioned a poem from time to time, and a woman answered.

Although her face was obscured by flowers and leaves, she could always connect to what Shen Yanzui said, and she always had her own opinions, which she spoke out slowly, which also attracted Shen Yanzui's chuckles and admiration.

"Empress?" Cuizhu looked at Su Ning'an in embarrassment, but Su Ning'an raised the corners of her lips slightly, and the ripples in her eyes calmed down in an instant, pinching Cuizhu's cheek, "Silly girl, are you afraid that I won't be able to think about it?"

Although Anli and Gu Yuan were following him, Su Ningan didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Let's go and see what kind of beauty the emperor has found for the palace."

After walking around the flowers, I looked up and saw that the two were not only talking about ancient and modern rhetoric, but also playing chess. The black and white stones were evenly matched, and they were fighting fiercely for a while.

"An'an?"

Even though Su Ning'an deliberately walked softly, Ana Shen still heard him.

Stepping out of the small pavilion and walking towards her, the woman behind her also stood up hurriedly, "My maid pays homage to the noble concubine."

Su Ning'an was held in Ana Shen's arms and took a brief look at the woman, which was quite good.

While raising his hand to allow the woman to get up, he leaned into Shen Yanzhui's arms, and his voice was inevitably soft when he woke up after a long sleep.

He glanced at Sheng Yue'er again, looked at Shen Yanzhui from the corner of his eyes, and smiled softly: "It seems that my concubine came by accident and spoiled the emperor's elegance."

In response to these ironic words, there was no anger on Shen Yanzhuan's face. Instead, there was a bit of bottomless doting between his relaxed brows, "Why are you so angry to get up even after you've had enough sleep? Could it be that the child is making trouble for you?"

As he spoke, he gently stroked her belly with his palm and smiled in her ear: "How about I punish him for An'an?"

"Humph, the emperor is reluctant to part with it." Su Ning'an chuckled, and his eyes fell on Sheng Yue'er unconsciously, "The emperor's game of chess is not over yet, why don't you continue? I will accompany the emperor."

Ana Shen glanced at the chessboard and said with a smile: "No need, we should go back to the palace. I don't know if Jiang'er has been obedient since we were away for most of the day. It's better not to be angry with the master."

He hugged Su Ning'an and was about to leave, then glanced at Sheng Yue'er and said, "Miss Sheng, I will reward you generously."

Su Ning'an raised her eyelashes slightly, but didn't say anything else.

Sheng Yue'er couldn't help but look up at the pair of figures walking further and further away. She knew that the imperial concubine was doting on her, but she didn't expect that the emperor would dote on her to such an extent!

In a daze, she suddenly met a pair of eyes that turned to look back at her, and Sheng Yue'er's heart skipped a beat.
