Seeing that Shu Mei was shy, Ling Li let go of her hand, "Juanjuan will arrive in Yongding in two days, I plan to let her go to Yanqing Palace to live with Concubine Xian, so that she won't pester you all day long." ”

"But we promised Juanjuan before. Besides, I don't have anything to do in the palace, so let Juanjuan ......"

"How can there be nothing to do? You've got to stay with me. Ling Li picked a steaming piece of simmering fish from the concave stone tile with a chopstick, and put it into the bowl of Shu Mei, "Taste, this is my favorite dish, see if it suits your appetite?" ”

"What Brother Ling Li likes, I like too."

Ling Li smiled. She was prepared for him by God, and naturally what he liked, she also liked.

After dinner, Ling Li finished the stack of slashers brought from the imperial study and sent Man Fu to the political affairs hall. After looking up, I saw Shu Mei sitting quietly under the candlelight on the side, focusing on fiddling with a bunch of bamboo strips, and couldn't help but step forward and ask curiously, "What is Ah Mei doing?" ”

"I want to make some little toys for Juanjuan." After Shu Mei carved on the bamboo strips with a pointed knife, the bamboo strips were fixed and shaped with colored threads.

"This shape is ......"

"A pony." Shu Mei pointed to the bamboo skeleton that was beginning to take shape, "This is the horse's head, here is the horse's belly, and when the bamboo bones are ready, I will cover them with colored threads and felt, and it will be the same as an auspicious omen." ”

"Ah Mei's hands are so skillful." Ling Lili looked at it for a while and exclaimed.

Shu Mei smiled and continued to bury his head in making bamboo shelves.

After a while, seeing that she didn't mean to call it a day, he coughed and said, "Ah Mei, I have to go to the morning tomorrow ......."

"Then you go to sleep first." Shu frowned and didn't raise his head.

It's really not a wife's consciousness at all. Seeing that the hint was not working, Ling Li had no choice but to say clearly: "I came to Jiqing Palace, I didn't bring the palace maid over, didn't Ah Mei take care of me to change my clothes and go to bed?" ”

Shu Mei suddenly realized, hurriedly dropped the bamboo strip in his hand, got up and apologized: "I'm sorry, I forgot." ”

Ling Li hugged her and said dissatisfiedly: "Ah Mei, in your heart, I must be ranked before Juanjuan. ”

"Brother Ling Li was the first person I met, so naturally he was at the forefront." Shu Mei smiled.

Ling Li was overjoyed when he heard this, picked her up, and strode towards the bed.

"Brother Ling Li, I haven't ...... yet"

Before Shu Mei finished talking about changing clothes, he had already put her on the bed and kissed her. In such a situation, there is no need to change clothes.

- "Your Majesty was originally a tiger and wolf who didn't know the severity, but I was like I was falling apart, and I couldn't get out of bed for several days......"

Dong Yuejiao's words resurfaced in Shu Mei's mind. He used to hold her like this, and he kissed her like this, right? Thinking that Brother Ling Li had also treated Dong Yuejiao like this, he comforted his eyebrows for a while, and pushed him away violently.

"Ah Mei? What happened to you? Ling Li was in high spirits when he was suddenly pushed away by her, a little confused.

"I ...... I'm feeling a little sick. Shu Mei pulled the brocade quilt over and covered it on his chest.

"What's uncomfortable? Do you want to call the Imperial Doctor to take a look? The lust on Ling Li's face had not yet subsided, but his expression was full of worry.

"No, I don't. I...... Just get some sleep. Shu Mei leaned sideways and wrapped the quilt tightly, avoiding his inquiring gaze.

Seeing her curled up in the quilt, Ling Li was stunned, and then asked distressedly, "Ah Mei, did I ...... last night?" Too much? ”

Shu Mei was embarrassed and buried his head in the quilt.

"You sleep well tonight, I won't touch you."

Ling Li lay down next to her, gently ripped open the quilt that held her face, and hugged her through the quilt.

The coming day is long, and there is no need to covet this overnight. He took a deep breath and gradually calmed the lust in his heart.

At two o'clock, Man Fu called for bed outside the hall and reminded Ling Li to prepare for the court.

Shu Mei hurriedly lifted the quilt when he heard the sound, and hurriedly got up to prepare clothes for Ling Li.

Ling Li stopped her, "You're not feeling well, don't worry about me." I let Man Fu come in and serve. ”

Even if he found an excuse to be uncomfortable, Shu Mei had no choice but to continue lying down.

Knowing that Shu Mei was not used to waiting close to the inner chamberlain, Ling Li kissed her on the forehead after getting out of bed, buried his head in tightening the quilt for her, and carefully covered the curtain in front of the bed, before spreading the blessing into the hall.

Through the gauze curtain, Shu Mei looked at Ling Li's figure dressed under Manfu's waiting, and his heart fluctuated.

Before entering the palace, Grandma had talked to her a lot. As a concubine, in addition to giving birth to heirs for the Nanyue royal family, the most important thing is to serve the emperor and relieve the pressure on the emperor who was responsible for heavy state affairs in the previous dynasty. She was no longer able to conceive an heir for him, so she was left to serve, and last night she willfully rejected him.

"Ah Mei, are you taking Nansha ginseng?" When Ling Li was dressing, he suddenly noticed the brocade box on the table.

"No, it was sent by Sister Dong yesterday."

"Dong Yuejiao? What did she come to do? ”

Realizing that he had missed his mouth, he hurriedly said: "Sister Dong is afraid that I will be bored in the palace alone, so I specially came to talk to me." ”

"What did you say?" Ling Li lifted the curtain and sat down beside the bed.

Shu Mei was unaware that Ling Li suddenly asked about this, and immediately stood up: "I said some delicious and fun ...... in the palace."

Seeing Shu Mei's eyes dodging, Ling Li understood that she was not telling the truth. Thinking of her reaction last night, I immediately said angrily: "What did she say that made you lie to me?!" ”

Shu Mei suddenly panicked, and stammered more and more, "Sister Dong, she, she, she ......"

Seeing her so embarrassed, Ling Li asked Man Fu to call Qiu Hibiscus in. Soon, what Dong Yuejiao said yesterday fell into his ears word for word. After hearing these words, his face sank: This woman is not like Dong Yuejiao who he knew in the past!

He pondered for a moment, turned his head and saw Shu Mei on the side looking at him uneasily, so he raised his arm and hugged her into his arms, and softly comforted: "Ah Mei, I understand your feelings. Yesterday, I looked at you more deeply, and I felt uncomfortable. After listening to Dong Yuejiao's provocative words, you naturally won't feel good. ”

Shu Mei was taken aback: he pulled himself so fast yesterday because the Shen family's brother looked at him more?!

He cupped her face and said lovingly: "If you grow up earlier, we will meet sooner, and I will not marry Dong Yuejiao." Now, I can't get rid of her. But don't worry, I will only do this to you in the future, and there will be no other women. ”

Shu Mei was stunned.

Grandma had already warned her that the relationship between the emperor and the concubine would never be like that of ordinary people's husbands and wives. She not only has to learn how to get along with Dong Yuejiao, but also has to learn to accept the reality that the king of a country will continue to enrich the harem and reproduce heirs. The heir is the foundation of the eternal prosperity and good fortune of the country, and they ......

Thinking of this, Shu Mei said sadly: "I can't give birth to an heir, Brother Ling Li, you still have to take a concubine and have a child." ”

"I have asked Honglu Temple to recall Bai'an, and when he comes back from Beishan, I will let him concentrate on studying gynecology and recuperate for you." With that, he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly, "We'll have a way." ”

Shu frowned and pursed his lips silently.

"Ah Mei, you and I are husband and wife, and when you encounter such a thing in the future, you must take the initiative to tell me, don't let one be sulky, let alone lie to me, lie to me, lie to me."

"Hmm." Shu Mei nodded.

As soon as Ling Li buried his head and kissed her on the lips, the sound of a blessed report came from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, the sedan chair serving the early dynasty is already waiting outside the hall!" ”

"You have a good rest, what you owed me last night will be doubled tonight."

After leaving these words, in the surprise on his face, Ling Li strode out of the dormitory.
