Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Shen Yanyan walked towards him carrying a lunch box, her face flushed, it was obvious that she was overheated.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan and saw that her little face was red and there was a little sweat on the tip of her nose, so he frowned.

"Where's the handkerchief?" Shen Yanyan sat next to him, listening to his inexplicable words, and handed him the handkerchief in her sleeve in confusion.

What did he want with her handkerchief?

"Don't come here in such hot weather. Look how red your face is." Xiao Jingzhan took a handkerchief and came close to her to wipe the sweat off her nose. There was some heartache in his eyes.

Xiao Jingzhan glanced at the ice basin next to him, and then his eyes fell on Li Defu. Li Defu quickly stepped forward and stood next to Shen Yanyan, picking up a fan to fan the ice. "

"You can come later, or I'll come to see you in the evening." Xiao Jingzhan said again.

Shen Yanyan felt a little embarrassed. She forgot to wipe the sweat off her face. Fortunately, she was not wearing any makeup. If her makeup came off in this situation, she would be so shocked.

"Your Majesty, I'm making some sweet soup. I thought it would be tiring for you to review memorials in such hot weather, so I thought of sending you some food. I added ice cream to today's drink. You've been dealing with memorials for a while, so drinking some fruit tea and eating some sweet soup will help you cool down."

Li Defu hurried forward to tidy up the table and took out the food from the lunch box.

There were three dishes in total, one was lychee and green grape fruit tea, one was jade melon and dumplings in wine and ice, and one was pink peach soup.

Li Defu took out the food and continued fanning it.

Shen Yanyan looked at the food on the table and thought that they were all his favorites.

They were all his favorites. She didn't like lychees either. The last one sent to the palace hadn't been finished yet, but new ones were sent over. It was just right to make fruit tea for him.

"Your Majesty, this pink peach soup is a new product. It is made with ice jelly, diced peaches, and ice cubes. It is sweet and refreshing. You should try it." Shen Yanyan looked at Xiao Jingzhan and introduced happily.

Shen Yanyan brought the pink peach soup to him, her eyes full of anticipation.

Xiao Jingzhan tasted it and nodded, "It's really good."

Seeing that he enjoyed his meal, Shen Yanyan was also very happy. As long as she liked it, that was enough.

We can talk about things only after we have eaten well.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Imperial Concubine is going to hold a flower-viewing banquet. Will you go?" Shen Yanyan looked at Xiao Jingzhan and asked.

"What flower viewing banquet?" Xiao Jingzhan looked at her and asked. He really didn't know about this.

"The Imperial Concubine seems to have received several pots of Epiphyllums recently. She said that they will bloom in two or three days. She will hold a flower viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden in three days and invite all the concubines in the palace to attend." Shen Yanyan told the news she heard in the morning. It shouldn't be the case. How could the Imperial Concubine not tell His Majesty about such a banquet?

"I like Epiphyllum very much, I will go." Xiao Jingzhan's eyes darkened. This Gao Jinyi must be up to something again.

"You should have less contact with them, okay?"

"Oh, I haven't had any contact with them." Shen Yanyan answered. She had indeed never met anyone except when paying her respects.

"Why was Concubine Shu quietly confined to the palace for half a month? Do you think I don't know why?" Xiao Jingzhan knew that Yuan Hanshuang was poisoned, and he also knew that it was Shen Yanyan who did it. With her personality, she would not just let it go after being beaten.

Shen Yanyan was shocked. How did he know? She thought she was being very secretive. "Your Majesty, how did you know it was me?" Shen Yanyan felt a little guilty. After all, Yuan Hanshuang was his cousin.

"This is my palace. There is nothing I don't know." Xiao Jingzhan's tone was light, but there was a hint of domineering in it.

Yes, this palace belongs to him, there is nothing that can be hidden from her.

"You can't blame me for that. Your cousin has such a bad temper. It took her several days to get over the slap she gave me." Shen Yanyan didn't finish her words. This was only in the palace. If it was outside, she would definitely beat Yuan Hanshuang to a pulp and leave her body exposed in the wilderness.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

"I don't mean to blame you. I just want you to have less contact with them. Even if you know martial arts and can protect yourself, there are too many dirty things in this palace, and it is normal to use tricks behind the scenes. You grew up outside, and you are not as smart as them. I am afraid that you will suffer." Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan and said seriously.

The corners of Shen Yanyan's mouth twitched. She gave him the illusion that he was not smart enough and would suffer losses.

Forget it, it's okay if he is stupid. Sometimes stupid people have good luck. If he says he is stupid, then so be it. It won't cost him any weight anyway.

"I understand." Shen Yanyan nodded obediently.

After a while, Shen Yanyan realized belatedly that she was so gentle now. She was not like this before. Oh my god, the big melting pot of the palace had tamed her. She was so gentle and well-behaved now. She remembered that she was not like this before. Oh my god.

"Your Majesty, can I ask you a favor?" Shen Yanyan blinked and looked at Xiao Jingzhan with a flattering expression.

Xiao Jingzhan looked into her beautiful eyes. Even if she didn't ask, he would agree to anything she asked.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"It's like this. When I entered the palace, didn't I think I would go back to Yangzhou if I failed? And now the situation is like this, and the letters in the palace can't leave, I want to write a letter back to Yangzhou to ask about the recent situation at home."

"I had so much fun the last time I left the palace that I forgot about it. Can you help me send the letter back to Yangzhou, or to the Shen family in Beijing?" Shen Yanyan thought for a moment and said.

"You come to bring me food and drinks in such a hot day just for this." Xiao Jingzhan raised his eyebrows and said to Shen Yanyan.

"What else?" Shen Yanyan also felt that she was a little too deliberate, and did not deny it.

Xiao Jingzhan saw her taking it for granted, and the corners of his mouth twitched. She was honest and didn't deny it at all. He thought she was really here to bring him food and drinks.

"You little heartless boy." Xiao Jingzhan smiled dotingly, feeling a little helpless.

"Okay, write the letter. I'll ask Li Defu to pick it up from your palace tomorrow. You don't have to run back and forth in such a hot day." Xiao Jingzhan was reluctant to watch her running back and forth in such a hot sun.

"Really, that's great, thank you Your Majesty. I'll go back and write the letter now." Shen Yanyan stood up from her seat at once. She had to write well and write several more letters.

"Then Your Majesty, I'm leaving. I'll go back and write a letter." Shen Yanyan said and wanted to go out.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at the weather outside. The sun was shining brightly, so he called Shen Yanyan.

"Have dinner later before leaving. It's too hot outside now. You'll be exposed to the sun if you go back now."

Shen Yanyan looked outside and said indifferently: "It's okay, I brought an umbrella. I won't have dinner today, let's do it another day. I'll go back and prepare something." After saying this, Shen Yanyan walked out without even saying goodbye.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at the impetuous man and shook his head helplessly.

She just throws it away after use. When will she really be able to trust herself?

Li Defu looked at Concubine Shen Yanyan's silly appearance and silently felt sad for His Majesty for a long time. If His Majesty wants to win Concubine Yan's heart, he will probably have to go a long way.

Shen Yanyan took Xia Zhu back to Yaohua Palace and wrote a long letter. The content of the letter comforted her mother and family, and also expressed her longing for them. The most important thing was to ask her father to take good care of the potatoes in the farm, and when the harvest came in autumn, the potatoes could be handed over, which would benefit many people.

Potatoes are a good thing that benefits both the country and the people. If they are planted on a large scale, they will definitely benefit the people.

Shen Yanyan was so focused on writing that she didn't notice that the sky outside was gradually getting dark. It was not until Xia Zhu came in and lit the lamp that she realized that it was getting dark outside.

"Your Majesty, the food has been served. Let's have dinner first." Xia Zhu said to Shen Yanyan who was still writing furiously.

Shen Yanyan put down the pen in her hand, put the letter into the envelope, and then dripped wax to seal it.

"Okay, let's go." Shen Yanyan put down the letter and walked towards the main hall.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Xiao Jingzhan had just finished dinner and wanted to review the memorials when he heard Li Defu report.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine requests an audience."

Xiao Jingzhan frowned and didn't really want to see her.

"Let her in."

Gao Jinyi entered the inner hall and looked at Xiao Jingzhan who was reviewing memorials, a hint of joy flashed across his face.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and healthy." Gao Jinyi bowed politely, looking very dignified.

But when Xiao Jingzhan looked at Gao Jinyi like this, he felt a bit disgusted.

"Please stand up, Concubine. What do you want to talk to me about?" Xiao Jingzhan asked in a flat and indifferent tone.

Gao Jinyi looked at the man who was lowering his head to deal with memorials. He was dressed in black clothes with gold threads and had a face like a sculpture. Even when he was sitting behind the desk, his aura was strong and powerful, which made people fascinated.

"Your Majesty, I will hold a flower-viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden in three days. There will be your Majesty's favorite Epiphyllum. I would like to invite your Majesty to go with us." Gao Jinyi said softly.

Xiao Jingzhan looked up at her and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. She was indeed here for the flower-viewing banquet.

"I will attend." Xiao Jingzhan replied indifferently.

Gao Jinyi had a smile on her face, but she quickly regained her composure, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will be waiting for you in the Imperial Garden."

Xiao Jingzhan was a little irritated, and said in a cold tone, "Well,"

Looking at Gao Jinyi who was still standing in front of the desk, Xiao Jingzhan frowned: "Is there anything else, Concubine?"

"I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and I want to spend more time with You. I promise not to disturb Your Majesty from doing his work." Gao Jinyi didn't care. It was a rare opportunity to see His Majesty, so she didn't leave right after she arrived.

Disgust flashed in Xiao Jingzhan's lowered eyes.

"Your Highness, please go back first. I will visit you in Cuichen Palace when I have time," Xiao Jingzhan looked at Gao Jinyi, his tone not without a hint of denial.

Gao Jinyi's eyes darkened, with a hint of unwillingness flashing across them.

"I'll take my leave." Gao Jinyi bowed and left the inner hall.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at her back, impatience evident in his eyes.
