Chapter 18: Shadows
Fuyao shivered inexplicably, and wrapped the quilt on his body tightly. It's not that she hasn't seen the appearance of those people who are hungry for profit, nor has she never seen the faces of those ruthless people, but those people can't even match the emperor in front of her at allβnot as cold-blooded as they are.
Wei Ran looked at Fuyao wrapped the quilt tightly on his body, but walked to the edge of the bed with a concerned face, and didn't care that Fuyao couldn't accept it and stayed away slightly, so he sat down in the blank position by the way. The pair of hands that usually review and fold and grasp life and death covered Fuyao's somewhat thin shoulders as if they were concerned: "What? Cold? β
Fuyao listened to his slightly low, hoarse voice, and nodded his head in a hurry.
"Then let me warm you up, this is something that no one else can ask for."
Wei Ran took off his shoes, moved to the bed again, and then took Fuyao into his arms......
The spring is gradually getting stronger, and most of the flowers planted in the palace are also blooming that night.
After the wedding, Fuyao didn't come out to drink tea and chat with the group of chattering harem concubines, insinuating that he either stayed in his Yanxi Palace every day, or went to Wei Shang's Chengshou Palace to gossip with him.
Generally, Wei Shang spoke first, asking how Wei Ran treated her, whether he had been wronged and bullied her, and if there was anything wronged, he must tell him.
It's not like marrying a daughter-in-law, but a daughter who marries far away and comes back to see her father, Wei Shang chatters like an old father every time.
But Fuyao's answer is almost the same every time, basically Wei Shang treats her well, and she doesn't suffer any grievances in vain.
Wei Shang has always known Fuyao's temperament, and he is not fighting or grabbing on weekdays, even if he is in this harem, there is no change at all.
It's good, it won't be because Wei Ran is sulking because of which noble concubine he is staying with today and which noble person he is staying with tomorrow.
"Ahem." Although the weather is getting warmer day by day, the temperature difference between day and night is too large, and if you are not careful, you will get a wind chill.
Hearing Wei Shang cough a few times, Fuyao frowned and blurted out, "Haven't you been drinking in the courtyard at night these days?" β
On weekdays, Wei Shang likes to put a pot of cold wine in the courtyard and drink it alone, but before Fuyao got married, she was always serving on the side.
"You're the sharpest eye." Wei Shang picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip of tea.
Fuyao looked at Wei Shang's somewhat disapproving expression, and was a little moved: "It's good that you retire from the emperor's side, drink all day and night, if you hurt your body at that time, it won't be you who suffers." β
Then he muttered in his heart: Such a big person, he still looks like a child.
"It's out of the way, I've lived for so many years, don't I have nothing to do?" Wei Shang is relieved and doesn't worry about anything.
He doesn't care about anything, it's everyone else who suffers.
And Fuyao is this other person, who has been worried about Wei Shang for so many years since she was a child, if it weren't for her blocking the poison in those meals and the dark arrows at night, I don't know how long this little fat man with a smile would live.
Before dinner that day, Fuyao went back, but after Fuyao left, a figure slowly walked out of the huge sunset shadow of Chengshou Palace......
