Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Three thousand city defense troops are heading to Yangzhou. Their goal is not small. Everyone is guessing your majesty's purpose.

Xiangfu.

"Send someone to follow and see what his majesty is planning to do, to the point of sending out three thousand men." Prime Minister Gao stood in front of the window pruning branches, his tone indifferent.

He has an upright posture, a calm temperament, and a majestic presence without even getting angry. The black robe he wears makes him look even more majestic and mysterious.

"Yes, I have arranged for someone to follow you throughout the journey."

"Your Majesty summoned Shen Tingjiang, Yang Wanli and Yan Zhenhua from the Ministry of Revenue to the palace this afternoon. The spies in the palace heard that after the conversation between Concubine Yan and Your Majesty, Your Majesty was very happy, so he hurriedly summoned the three of them to the palace." Guo Liang was also guessing His Majesty's purpose.

"Yang Wanli?" Gao Xiang frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"He is the head of the Ministry of Agriculture." Seeing the Prime Minister's puzzled look, Guo Liang knew that he did not know this person.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Gao thought for a moment, put down the scissors in his hand, and sat back at the desk. "Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Agriculture, are you sending a large army?"

"What is your opinion, Mr. Guo?" Gao Xiang personally poured a cup of tea for Guo Liang and motioned him to sit down and talk.

"Should this trip be to Yangzhou?" Guo Liang bowed, sat down and took the tea.

"Prime Minister, has His Majesty discovered anything?"

Prime Minister Gao shook his head and said, "If they had discovered something, they would not suddenly send out three thousand soldiers. Concubine Yan, the Shen family, the Shen family in the capital." Prime Minister Gao thought, the Shen family might have already leaned towards someone in the palace.

"Let Jin Yi investigate Shen Yanyan carefully. You should investigate the Shen family in Beijing and Yangzhou in person."

"Tell the people below to behave themselves recently and not cause any trouble. It's almost the end of the year and the time is almost up." Gao Xiang's eyes were full of coldness. Looking at the dark night outside, his deep eyes were full of calculation.

His voice was deep and powerful, and every word was like an imperial decree that no one dared to disobey. The existence of the powerful prime minister was like a mountain, which made people admire and fear him.

His face was clear-cut, cold and resolute, and his deep eyes seemed to see through everything. Minister Quan frowned slightly, and was serious, as if he was thinking all the time.

"Yes, I will go and make arrangements."

Yaohua Palace

After resting for a few days, Shen Yanyan returned to Yaohua Palace. Xiao Jingzhan was very busy every day and didn't have much time to accompany her. It would be better for her to return to her own palace instead of staying in Yangxin Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine sent someone to ask about your health. If you are feeling better, you still have to go to the Cuichen Palace to pay your respects." Dongxue felt a little angry as she thought about what the maid had just said.

Just because she knew that Her Majesty was staying in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity again, the Imperial Concubine was deliberately trying to make Her Majesty unhappy.

The Queen is favored by His Majesty, and there is nothing they can do even if they are envious, jealous, and resentful.

Without even raising her eyelids, Shen Yanyan said leisurely, "Go and tell Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine that I'm not feeling well and have to take medicine every day, so I can't go." She could go to pay respects if she wanted to, and not go if she didn't want to. Anyway, Xiao Jingzhan would take care of anything.

Besides, if someone like Concubine Gao were to do evil behind my back, who knows how she would bully and frame me if I went there. Out of sight, out of mind.

Shen Yanyan didn't want to pay any attention to someone whose whole family was about to be ruined.

She also didn't want to have any contact with these concubines. It was very tiring to be surrounded by intrigue all day long.

"Yes, ma'am."

Although Dongxue felt that it was not good for her master to offend the imperial concubine at this time, she knew her master's character. She did not want to persuade him, knowing that it would be useless.

As night fell, the August night was filled with a slight breeze. After finishing a busy day, Xiao Jingzhan walked briskly towards Yaohua Palace.

The lights of the palace twinkle in the night like shining pearls.

He walked through the magnificent palace gate and entered the palace. A faint fragrance filled the Yaohua Palace, and candlelight shone through the windows, illuminating the exquisite furnishings. Xiao Jingzhan strolled through it, feeling the tranquility of the night.

When the palace servants saw His Majesty coming in person, they all came forward to salute and bowed their heads to show their respect.

Xiao Jingzhan walked with firm steps towards the bedroom where Shen Yanyan was.

At this moment, Shen Yanyan heard the voice of the palace servant and was delighted. Knowing that he had come, she quickly stood up to greet him.

She still had to pretend in front of the palace maids, otherwise if others knew that she was disrespectful to the emperor, it would be another handle.

She walked lightly with her lotus steps, her clothes fluttering in the wind, and she was as beautiful as a fairy.

There was joy and anticipation in her eyes, and a gentle smile on her lips. When she saw Xiao Jingzhan, her heart was filled with joy, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well." Shen Yanyan saluted in a proper manner and grinned at Xiao Jingzhan.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at her helplessly and smiled. "My beloved, please stand up."

Xiao Jingzhan stepped into the inner room, followed closely by Shen Yanyan. Xia Zhu, Dong Xue and Li Defu stood quietly outside the palace, like three silent shadows.

Shen Yanyan's beautiful eyes moved, and she smiled gently, and asked jokingly, "Why didn't you go to other concubines today, but came so early?"

Xiao Jingzhan's gaze lingered on her, with a barely perceptible flash of anger in his eyes. His face darkened as he replied, "Do you really want me to go to other concubines?"

Shen Yanyan chuckled, and seeing that he looked a little angry, she immediately shook her head, "If you don't want to, you can't go find other people, even if you're pretending."

There was a faint fragrance in the inner room, as if it was the body fragrance of Shen Yanyan. Her face looked even more beautiful under the candlelight, and her eyes were shining with a charming light.

Xiao Jingzhan walked to her side, gently took her hand, and whispered: "Yanyan, I only like you..."

A blush appeared on Shen Yanyan's face. At this moment, Xiao Jingzhan did not have his usual cold and majestic look at all.

The two figures intertwined in the candlelight, as if forming a beautiful picture.

"Yeah, I know." Shen Yanyan looked at Xiao Jingzhan, her eyes full of love.

She knew that she liked him too.

Shen Yanyan had just finished washing up when she heard Xiao Jingzhan coming. She went out to greet him before she had time to dry her hair. At this moment, she felt that the ends of her hair were wet and draped behind her head, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She picked up the handkerchief at hand and stuffed it into his hand, then sat down in front of the dressing table beside her.

She looked at Xiao Jingzhan, as if she was waiting for him to come over and help her dry her hair.

Xiao Jingzhan smiled, walked over silently and helped her wipe her hair.

Shen Yanyan didn't think it was a big deal. Now that they had talked openly and frankly, their relationship was confirmed. Instructing him to wipe her hair was not a big deal.

She didn't care whether he was the emperor or his majesty, it was his job anyway.

From Xiao Jingzhan's perspective, she was like a smug little fox, beautiful, charming and alluring.

She had just finished washing up, and was wearing a gauze summer dress, looking as fresh and refined as a lotus flower emerging from the water. Her face exuded a natural luster, and her eyes were clear and bright, revealing a kind of innocence and agility.

Her hair fell wetly on her shoulders, exuding a faint fragrance. A few strands of hair brushed across her face, adding a charming charm. Her lips were slightly red, as tempting as a ripe cherry, making people want to kiss her.

The fresh air surrounding her makes people feel peaceful and beautiful. At this moment, she is stunningly beautiful, exuding a unique charm that moves people's hearts.

Following his line of sight downwards, he saw her delicate collarbone. Xiao Jingzhan swallowed his saliva, and when his hair was dry, he leaned over slightly and pulled Shen Yanyan, who was facing the mirror, to face him.

Shen Yanyan looked at her movements with some confusion. Just as she was about to speak, a shadow approached. When she looked up, Xiao Jingzhan just happened to kiss her on the lips.

Shen Yanyan's face turned red, this hooligan!

After leaving like a dragonfly skimming the water, Xiao Jingzhan looked at her rosy little face with a gentle smile, a hint of lust in his eyes, and then his lips fell on her forehead, eyes, nose tip, all the way down, and finally landed on her soft, sweet red lips.

Shen Yanyan blushed at first because of his sudden action, but as he went deeper, she gradually became entangled with him.

The candlelight in the inner room flickered, and the breathing of the two people became heavier.

Shen Yanyan pushed Xiao Jingzhan with her hand.

The man looked at her with red eyes, full of confusion.

Shen Yanyan's voice was a little hoarse, and her soft tone was a little shy, "My neck is sore."

Looking at her pair of eyes twinkling with stars in the candlelight, her already beautiful eyes now appear charming, pure and captivating.

Xiao Jingzhan's Adam's apple moved, and he couldn't help but pick her up by the waist and walk towards the bed.

Shen Yanyan smiled, put her arms around Xiao Jingzhan's neck and kissed his Adam's apple. The man paused, then immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the bed.

Putting the person in his arms on the bed, Xiao Jingzhan's eyes condensed and suppressed.

Xiao Jingzhan's overwhelming kisses fell on Shen Yanyan's lips. Unlike the gentle ones just now, this time the kiss carried a hint of punishment. Little guy, you dared to tease me.

Gradually, he was no longer satisfied with this, and the passionate kiss went all the way down.

Shen Yanyan felt dizzy from the kiss, and suddenly she felt the kiss on her lips gradually moving down.

He threw the thin gauze dress under the bed, and my chest felt cold, and then I was covered with dense kisses.

Shen Yanyan moaned softly, remembering the red plum blossoms from last time.

Xiao Jingzhan listened to her moans, his eyes turned red, and his hands began to wander, touching the skin on Shen Yanyan's waist.

The waist is Shen Yanyan's most sensitive part. It softens as soon as it is touched. Every touch makes her tremble slightly like an electric current. She also makes a soft moan from her mouth.

Feeling the trembling of the person under him, Xiao Jingzhan's lips curled slightly, as if he had discovered her weakness.

After a while, Xiao Jingzhan looked up at Shen Yanyan, staring at her, breathing rapidly, but did not go down any further.

Shen Yanyan looked at him with her watery eyes, a little dazed.

"I will give you a formal wedding ceremony and make you my wife, but now is not the time." Xiao Jingzhan kissed Shen Yanyan's head restrainedly.

"Yeah," Shen Yanyan smiled and nodded.

Although she was his concubine, she was still a concubine after all. As a modern person, she found it somewhat psychologically unacceptable to be someone's concubine.
