Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Xia Zhu looked at His Majesty's face and was extremely surprised. Isn't this that Master Jing?

He is his majesty. No wonder the young lady was made a concubine even though she lost the election. It must be because the young lady teased his majesty in the Lakeside Villa last time, so his majesty brought the young lady into the palace.

The last time His Majesty went to Yaohua Palace, it was not her who was on night watch. She happened to have something to do the next day and was not waiting in the inner hall. When she saw His Majesty's face today, she was really surprised.

Xia Zhu hurriedly followed Eunuch Li and walked towards the Yangxin Palace.

Xiao Jingzhan walked in front with an upright posture and firm steps, followed closely by Shen Yanyan, whose delicate figure looked particularly petite. They passed through the corridors of the palace, and the guards and palace maids along the way bowed their heads and saluted, not daring to look at them any more.

The Yangxin Palace was grand and solemn, and the air was filled with a faint scent of ambergris. Xiao Jingzhan and Shen Yanyan walked into the palace together, and the candlelight in the palace swayed slightly as they entered. Shen Yanyan's skirt brushed the ground lightly, making a slight rustling sound.

Her beautiful face was even more charming under the candlelight, and Xiao Jingzhan's eyes revealed a kind of firmness and tenderness.

Walking into the inner hall, Xiao Jingzhan sat on the dragon chair, and Shen Yanyan stood quietly beside him. He raised his hand and gently stroked the memorial on the table, while Shen Yanyan's eyes fell on the exquisite decorations in the hall, and a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

The carved beams and painted buildings are exquisite, worthy of being carefully selected by the Nine Clans.

"You want to read the memorials, then what should I do? It's so boring." Shen Yanyan stood half leaning on his chair, not looking dignified at all.

"Why don't you take a look at the memorial for me?" Xiao Jingzhan felt that since she could write such a poem, it was just a memorial, and it shouldn't be difficult for her.

Shen Yanyan was a little shocked. Isn't this a bit inappropriate? "I think, isn't it said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics? If the ministers of the previous dynasty knew about this, they would definitely report me tomorrow." She has also watched some historical dramas, okay? I'm afraid she can't watch this memorial.

"There's no one here, no one will know. If you're bored, just read some memorials to kill time. Anyway, the memorials written by these ministers are just trivial matters, so you can read them for fun." Xiao Jingzhan didn't lie. Most of the memorials written by some ministers were to greet and flatter. They were boring and long, and there was nothing serious about them.

"These are for you, take a look at them, and we'll have dinner soon." Xiao Jingzhan picked out some unimportant things for her to pass the time.

Seeing him say this, Shen Yanyan also felt embarrassed and picked up a book at random to start flipping through it.

"It's a memorial written by the Jiangnan Weaving Factory," Shen Yanyan looked at the familiar place with some interest.

Then he read it out loud word by word.

"Your Majesty, how are you?"

"Your Majesty, it rained heavily in Jiangnan yesterday. A small batch of silk fabrics in the workshop were soaked in water, so only half of them can be delivered. Your Majesty, don't you know that once the rainy season comes, it rains in Jiangnan for a month. Many silk fabrics have been affected by the rainy season. Everyone in the workshop is almost annoyed to death."

"Your Majesty. Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter." Shen Yanyan started laughing before she finished reading, and her laughter like silver bells echoed in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

When Shen Yanyan saw Xiao Jingzhan's reply, she laughed even more exaggeratedly.

"I'm fine. I get it. I've never been to Jiangnan, so I don't know what the rainy season is like. Hahahaha... my friend, don't be so funny." Shen Yanyan couldn't help laughing out loud and read out everything he said one by one. His reply was also very explosive.

Normally she wouldn't laugh unless she couldn't hold it in. Hahahahaha

How come this is exactly the same as those of the Fourth Master on the Internet? Shen Yanyan laughed so hard that tears almost came out. It wasn't that the writing was so funny, but she couldn't help laughing when she saw the familiar formula.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan covering her mouth and laughing, it was so funny.

Shen Yanyan was reading with great interest. What was the difference between this and reading a comedy book? It made her laugh to death.

Shen Yanyan felt her legs a little sore from standing. She glanced at Xiao Jingzhan's dragon throne. The space was big enough for her to sit on. There was no one else in the hall anyway, so it was really funny for her to sit there and watch.

"Your Majesty, please move aside and let me sit a little more on your dragon throne. My legs are sore from standing." Shen Yanyan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with herself. She sat on it and nudged Xiao Jingzhan with her butt, motioning him to move aside.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan who was smiling happily while holding the memorial paper in both hands. He shook his head helplessly and moved to the side resignedly.

Shen Yanyan flipped through some more, all of which were quite funny.

Your Majesty:

I have an interesting story to report today. I recently met a strange man outside the palace. He was eloquent and made people laugh. He said, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. If you can go out to the people more often after your official duties, you will definitely be loved by the people."

Your Majesty, do you know that there is a kind of delicacy among the people, called "stinky tofu". It smells extremely stinky, but tastes fragrant. I think if Your Majesty can taste it yourself, you will be deeply impressed. And the "crosstalk", Your Majesty will laugh and feel happy if you listen to a segment of it among the people.

"Hahaha, it's so funny, he eats stinky tofu, and his face is stinkier than the stinky tofu. Why does he need to eat stinky tofu?" Shen Yanyan watched with relish.

In addition, there are many interesting games among the people, such as "cockfighting" and "hide and seek". If Your Majesty can participate in them, you will be able to have fun with the people and enhance the relationship between the monarch and his subjects. In this way, Your Majesty can understand the sufferings of the people and add fun to life. Isn't it wonderful?

"Hahaha, I'm really impressed. Who wrote this? Xiao Jing fighting cocks, playing hide-and-seek, how funny can it be? Damn! You're such a talent. I can't even imagine how beautiful this scene is." Shen Yanyan raised her head at 45 degrees, concentrating on imagining Xiao Jing fighting cocks and playing hide-and-seek. She almost died of laughter. How can these people be so talented?

Apparently she had forgotten that the real person was sitting next to her, complaining to his heart's content.

She even said some unpleasant things, not acting like a rich lady at all.

I implore Your Majesty to go out of the palace and take a walk to see these new and interesting things among the people, and also let the people have a glimpse of Your Majesty’s elegance.

I, your humble servant, bow my head and respectfully present this to you.

"Oh. I thought this was a joke among netizens, but there really is a minister who wrote like this. It's really, very funny." Shen Yanyan lowered her head and smiled while flipping through the memorial, complaining to the person next to her.

After a while, Shen Yanyan finally realized what was happening and raised her head. As expected, Xiao Jingzhan's face was stinkier than stinky tofu. Shen Yanyan looked at that dark and smelly face, and even after using up all her life's patience, she still couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, my god, no, I think, hahahaha, stinky, stinky tofu, I'm dying of laughter." Shen Yanyan felt that her stomach hurt from laughing. She covered her stomach with one hand and supported herself on the table with the other hand, lying on it and shaking with laughter. She really couldn't hold it back, but she was a little scared. Who can save her? Hahahaha, God, help me, Shen Yanyan shouted silently.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan, who was lying on the table, shaking with laughter but not daring to laugh out loud, and sighed helplessly. She was really his nemesis. He had no way to deal with her.

"Don't hold it in, just laugh if you want to." Xiao Jingzhan said calmly. Normally, he didn't think these ministers were so outrageous. He was used to it in the past. There were many such things in the memorials every day. Today, seeing Shen Yanyan's appearance, he felt that he should discipline those ministers and let them talk less nonsense.

After a long while, Shen Yanyan raised her head from the table and forced the corners of her mouth to turn down, almost making herself look like a Psyduck.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan's flushed face, picked up the memorial beside him and fanned her, fearing that she would faint from laughing.

"Your Majesty, you review memorials like this every day." Shen Yanyan paused, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and held them back. She had it so hard.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at her eyes, which were red from holding back her patience. Her beautiful eyes were clear as she looked at him. It made people want to find out what was going on.

Li Defu walked in with steady steps, and his appearance broke the silence in the room.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time for dinner." Li Defu lowered his head almost to the ground.

What did he see? Concubine Yan was sitting on the throne of His Majesty, reading the memorial. Is this something he can see? Li Defu said that he was shocked by the Concubine every day.

Xiao Jingzhan held Shen Yanyan's hand and walked towards the main hall.

At this moment, dinner has been delivered, emitting an enticing aroma.

The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food, and Shen Yanyan's eyes were attracted by the food on the table. She smiled slightly, as if she was satisfied with this sumptuous dinner.

They are all what she likes to eat.

The candlelight in the main hall is soft and warm, illuminating the entire space.

Li Defu stood quietly by.

Xiao Jingzhan sat in the main seat, Shen Yanyan sat next to him, and the table was filled with exquisite dishes.

They talked in low voices and laughed happily from time to time.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan intently, his eyes full of tenderness. He found that every time he ate with her, his appetite would become better, as if these delicious foods became more delicious because of her presence.

Shen Yanyan smiled, her eyes occasionally falling on the food on the table, her eyes revealing a kind of happiness and satisfaction. She gently picked up a piece of food, put it in her mouth, and savored the taste carefully.

In this peaceful atmosphere, time seems to stand still.

After dinner, Shen Yanyan took Xia Zhu back to Yaohua Palace.

They walked slowly along the cobblestone path, surrounded by blooming flowers and neatly trimmed green plants. The breeze brought bursts of floral fragrance, making people feel happy.

Shen Yanyan had a pretty face and elegant temperament, and her every move revealed a unique charm. Xia Zhu followed her respectfully, with a focused and loyal look in her eyes.

After returning to Yaohua Palace, Xia Zhu couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is not that..." Before Xia Zhu finished speaking, Shen Yanyan stopped her.

"Xia Zhu, don't mind this matter and don't say too much, okay? You can't tell anyone about this." Shen Yanyan looked at Xia Zhu with a rare serious look.

Xia Zhu looked at the serious look of the Empress and said immediately: "This servant understands, this servant knows nothing."

"Ah."
