Before dinner, Chu Yuan was reading the excerpts in the imperial study, and from time to time Lin An came in and conveyed the requests of several concubines outside to see him.

Chu Yuan has been out for so many days, and several concubines in the harem have never even seen him in person, and every day someone is sent to ask for news, and they are all sent away by the people in the inner chamberlain with the emperor being busy and having important things to deal with.

Today, when Chu Yuan passed by the Imperial Garden, the queen happened to see Chu Yuan there, but Chu Yuan had something to discuss, so he simply said a few words to the queen and left. The queen saw the emperor today, which naturally attracted attention in the harem, and learned that the emperor was in the imperial study at this time, and all the concubines came to visit the emperor with delicious meals.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan and Niangniang are all waiting outside the door, wanting to see you!" At this moment, someone outside came to report that the queen mother was also here, and Lin An was helpless.

"That's it!" Chu Yuan sighed, for more than half a month, the harem concubines had never seen him, so he was naturally anxious, "Let them all go to the side hall and wait, I will pass!"

When Chu Yuan came to the side hall, several people all stood up in surprise, and after greeting Chu Yuan, everyone held the soup Gu in their hands and expressed their condolences to Chu Yuan.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard for the country for so many days, and the concubines have specially stewed nourishing soup, you can taste it!" One or two said this, Chu Yuan seemed to be a little embarrassed, and the queen on the side also covered her lips and smiled, but she was also full of expectation looking at the soup that was not sent out by her side.

"That's it, it's all your heart, I'll taste them one by one, then I'll start with the queen." After speaking, Chu Yuan turned his head to look at the queen, and Zuo Xiyun saw Chu Yuan's eyes and hurriedly got up.

"It's better to come to the concubine!" Zuo Xiyun smiled, lifted the lid, filled a bowl of soup in a soup bowl for Chu Yuan, stirred it with a spoon and cooled it a few times before giving it to Chu Yuan with both hands, "Your Majesty, be careful of scalding!" ”

Chu Yuan took the soup bowl, tasted it carefully, and after tasting it, he let out a sound of admiration. After that, every time they tasted a bowl, the concubines were all full of joy, pestering Chu Yuan to talk, and no one wanted to leave.

It's night again, and since several people are there, it seems that another question arises, that is, do you want someone to sleep tonight, or who should serve you?

Lin An glanced tentatively at his master, and saw that Chu Yuan's expression was faint, and he didn't seem to have any special thoughts, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you're tired, do you want to rest?" Lin An asked, if he didn't ask, he was afraid that none of these ladies would take the initiative to leave.

"Is the emperor tired, the concubine won't bother, and will retire for the time being!" Zuo Xiyun is smart and clever and understands people's hearts very well, as soon as Lin An said this, she consciously proposed to leave, although she really wanted to hear Chu Yuan's words to stay.

"I'm really tired today, go back and have a good rest!" As soon as Chu Yuan said this, everyone's heart was full of loss, but they had to get up, and saluted Chu Yuan with a gentle smile and retreated.

This is the first day, as long as they see the emperor, there is nothing to serve or not, not to mention that the emperor did not leave anyone, and their hearts are balanced. It's just that on the second day, the third day, every night the emperor never turned over a person's sign, and the people in the harem began to be anxious.

Zuo Xiyun is the same, although he doesn't mind whose sign the emperor flips, but for so many days, the emperor has not summoned anyone, that's the problem. Zuo Xiyun sent someone to learn about the situation from Lin An, and learned that the emperor did not have any new palace maids, and he slept alone at night for a while, so he was really full of doubts.

Zuo Xiyun is the queen, and there are some things that she naturally wants her to say, and in the afternoon of this day, Chu Yuan was leisurely enjoying the cool in the garden, and Zuo Xiyun appeared at the right time.

"The concubine has seen the emperor!" Zuo Xiyun bowed to Chu Yuan as if he had met Chu Yuan by chance.

"It's the queen, excuse me!" Chu Yuan was lying on the rattan chair under the pavilion blowing the wind, turned his head to look at Zuo Xiyun, and then turned his head to look at the lake again, looking thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say, I don't know if to say it or not!" Zuo Xiyun sat down on the chair beside Chu Yuan, picked up the fan on the stone table, and gently fanned Chu Yuan.

"Something to say!" Chu Yuan replied casually.

"Your Majesty, the concubines know that some things may not be said properly, but ......" Zuo Xiyun paused, and said again after pondering: "Your Majesty, since Concubine Wan gave birth a year ago, there has been no good news in the harem. Your Majesty, now that you only have Yingyu as a princess under your knees, you should have a lin! The concubines know that the emperor is busy with state affairs today, and she is tired, but she ......"

"Queen, I know what you're going to say!" Chu Yuan turned his head, looked at Zuo Xiyun and smiled, shook his head a little helplessly, and said, "I understand, but this matter is not in a hurry, just let it be!" ”

Princess Yingyu is born by the queen, although she is a princess, but because Chu Yuan only has such a child by her side, this princess is also deeply loved by Chu Yuan, and she is a treasure held by everyone in the palace.

"Your Majesty, the harem is not full, but are you tired of seeing these younger sisters? If this is the case, the concubine must be attentive and choose some talented and beautiful show girls for you! Zuo Xiyun guessed, could it be that this is the reason, if the emperor is really tired of a few of them, and there are no new show girls entering the palace, it will be her dereliction of duty.

"Haha!" Chu Yuan laughed, "The queen is really worried, I am just busy for many days, so I can't take care of this matter, I didn't expect the queen to think like this!" Let's let the queen come to bed tonight and see if I'm tired of you!" ”

As soon as Chu Yuan said this, Zuo Xiyun bowed his head shyly, but he couldn't hide the excitement and expectation in his heart. In the evening, after a careful bath and another dressing up, I quietly waited for the emperor's favor with a little anxiety.

Everything is developing very smoothly, when Zuo Xiyun was lying in Chu Yuan's arms full of shyness, when the majestic body was bullying down from above and overturning her body, Zuo Xiyun closed her eyes full of shyness and charm, waiting for the arrival of being pampered in the next moment.

However, the current situation has reached this point, and the last layer of deep contact has never arrived. Zuo Xiyun felt strange, and it took a long time before she slowly opened her eyes, and then saw Chu Yuan looking at her deeply.

It's just that that gaze doesn't feel right, she can feel that Chu Yuan is hesitating, tangled, and in a trance......

"Your Majesty......" Zuo Xiyun said in a blank and soft voice, and after making eye contact with Chu Yuan's eyes, without waiting for her to speak again, Chu Yuan actually got up and sat up, "Your Majesty?" ”
