"I believe in Your Majesty." Shen Yu naturally believed in Shang Junlin. Regardless of whether Shang Junlin would change in the future, at least in the past and present, he was as he said.
As for the future, Shen Yu did not want to think too much.
As if sensing his concerns, Shang Junlin's kiss moved to the peak of his lips. "A Yu, my heart will never contain anyone other than you."
Before meeting Shen Yu, his heart was originally desolate. It was the arrival of Shen Yu that made his heart bloom. This heart full of flowers would only bloom for Shen Yu.
As if tasting something delicious, he traced his lips little by little. The light color was gradually dyed a deep red. The tip of his tongue opened his teeth and nimbly explored the warm area.
"Your Majesty …" Shen Yu grabbed the black clothes beside him and welcomed Shang Junlin's storm-like kiss.
All of his senses were lost. Shen Yu closed his eyes slightly and moved the tip of his tongue slightly.
Shang Junlin's movements paused. Then, as if he was encouraged by something, his attacks became more and more fierce.
It was a chase, but also a game of chess. Back and forth, no one was willing to give in easily. Shang Junlin's hand that was pinching Shen Yu's chin had unknowingly moved to the back of Shen Yu's head. He tightly grasped Shen Yu's movements and did not give him any room to retreat.
The storm was about to end. Shang Junlin's breath stopped at Shen Yu's lips. Both of their breaths were a little unstable. Shang Junlin was unwilling to let go of Shen Yu and calmed his breathing in the current position.
"A Yu is so passionate tonight." Shang Junlin sighed softly.
"Your Majesty is also very excited." Shen Yu had already clearly felt it. Just now, he was completely focused on the kiss. When he came back to his senses, he realized how dangerous their current position was.
"Zhen won't do anything. Just let zhen hug you for a while." As he spoke, he used his lips to lightly touch Shen Yu's tender skin.
After using up a lot of energy, Shen Yu felt lazy and didn't want to move. It wasn't the first time he faced such a situation, but the atmosphere this time was different from the previous times. Shen Yu couldn't describe it, but it didn't stop him from wanting to stay with Shang Junlin.
Shen Yue was sent back to Consort Dowager's residence by the people of Yuzhang Palace. Consort Dowager received the news and summoned Shen Yue.
"Why does Imperial Concubine Dowager care so much about Shen Yue?" The old mama who served Imperial Concubine Dowager was puzzled.
"People like lively children when they are old. Do you think Shen Yue is not likable now?" Concubine dowager slowly admired her nails. "Look, this child knows a lot of new things."
Concubine dowager's hands were well maintained. Her nails were painted with decorative nail polish, which made her hands even more beautiful.
The old mama poured a cup of tea for Concubine dowager. "She is indeed more likable than when she came. Concubine dowager is really good at teaching people. You can even change Shen Yue's strange temperament."
"She is young, so it's normal for her to take detours. His Majesty sent her to me and asked me to help discipline her. She must still be useful. If she is really that kind of person who can't be educated, I'm too lazy to get involved in this mess." Concubine dowager picked up the tea and took a sip.
"That's right. We have seen all kinds of people these years. His Majesty is a good person. He always remembers Concubine dowager's kindness. If it weren't for His Majesty, we wouldn't be able to live such a relaxed life." The old mama sighed.
She had been serving Concubine dowager for a long time. Her master had been with the late Emperor since she was in seclusion. It was not easy for her to survive the bloody storm. Moreover, her master was not the kind of person who liked to fight for power and profit. This kind of peaceful life was really good for them.
"I helped him because it was not easy for a child like him to live in the harem. In addition, the late Empress had protected me a lot. After that kind of thing happened, it was very difficult for a child like him to live in the harem. Besides, I didn't do much. It was his own hard work. He is willing to remember my kindness because he has kindness in his heart. But these are not reasons for us to force him to repay me. Do you understand?"
Concubine dowager's tone was light, but the meaning behind her words was very heavy.
"I understand." The old mama's heart trembled. She knew that some rumors had reached Concubine dowager's ears. "I will strictly watch the people in the harem and not let them have any disloyalty."
"Yes." Concubine dowager couldn't help but think of many years ago. When the late Empress was still alive, the late Emperor and the late Empress were deeply in love. As the only di son of the two, Shang Junlin could be said to be the true God's favored son.
When she went to the Empress's palace to pay her respects, she could often see Shang Junlin, who was trying hard to act like a little adult, studying by the Empress's side. At that time, who would have thought that the most favored di son of the middle palace would one day be sent to hell?
After the late Empress died, the late Emperor, under the instigation of the treacherous courtiers, did not care about their many years of marriage. He killed more than a hundred people of the Empress's maternal family. In one night, Shang Junlin lost his mother, lost the strong support of his family, and did not have the ability to protect himself.
She wanted to take this child over and raise him, but the late Emperor gave a strict order that no one was allowed to take care of him. At that time, she did not have any status in the harem and could only secretly help him.
When she saw this child again, she could not see any shadow of the past from him. He was malicious and ruthless, like an avenger returning from hell.
She did not know what happened between the late Emperor and the late Empress, but it must be very serious if the late Emperor could kill the late Empress's whole family overnight and take away all the favor of his only di son.
Unfortunately, the insiders were all dealt with. She secretly investigated for a long time, but found no clues.
"Concubine dowager, Miss Shen Yue is here."
Concubine dowager sighed and collected her thoughts, "Let her in."
After Shen Yue came in, she respectfully bowed to Concubine dowager. She respected the person who gave her a new life from the bottom of her heart.
Concubine dowager called her to the front, took her hand and patted it, "Seeing that you came back in one piece, I am relieved."
"Concubine dowager …" Shen Yue's heart suddenly warmed. She had almost never received the care of the elders since she was a child. Beside Concubine dowager, she felt for the first time what it was like to be carefully taught by the elders.
Feeling Shen Yue's attachment, Concubine dowager smiled softly.
"His Majesty and Guijun asked me something, but I don't know what to do." Shen Yue omitted the part about time travel and summarized what had happened in Yuzhang Palace. Concubine dowager heard Concubine dowager Concubine dowager's words.
"This shows that His Majesty and Guijun value you. I also heard that His Majesty intends to use female officials. This is an opportunity. I know you have a lot of strange ideas, but it is a waste of your talent to be trapped in my remote palace. Go ahead and do it. You are still young and have a lot of opportunities. The world is unfair to women, so it is hard for His Majesty and Guijun to consider women."
"Yes, women should not be the accessories of men." Shen Yue agreed with this point. In the backward ancient times, as an emperor, he was willing to face the value of women. Shen Yue admired this point.
"Concubine dowager, I am a little worried. Can I really do it well?" Shen Yue hesitated. It was not that she did not want to. If there was such an opportunity, who would be willing to live a muddle-headed life? However, she was a little afraid. If she really agreed, could she bear such a heavy burden?
"Good child, don't be afraid. Since His Majesty and Guijun proposed it, they will naturally help you. If you believe in me, I am also willing to do my best. Everything has a process from nothing to something. There is nothing to worry about."
"Yes!" Shen Yue nodded heavily.
Shen Yu received Shen Yue's reply the next day.
Shang Junlin went to the morning court. Shen Yu closed her eyes and lay on the bed for a while before sitting up.
Shen Yu put clean clothes on the side and slowly put them on. When she got out of bed, she pulled her leg. Fortunately, she did not directly sit back down.
Last night, she should not have been obsessed and promised Shang Junlin to help him with her leg.
Shen Yu frowned when she felt uncomfortable. Except for that time in the bathhouse, this was the second time. Although they did not really do it, Shen Yu still could not ignore that strange feeling.
Mu Xi, who had been waiting outside, heard the noise and came in with hot water.
"Young Master, Shen Yue sent a message. She said that she is willing to agree, but she said that she hopes to continue to stay with Concubine dowager."
Shen Yu washed up and combed his hair with Mu Xi's help. Resisting the discomfort, he sat on the soft couch and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I know. Ask her to sort out the things that she thinks are useful and send them over after she has sorted them out." Shen Yu was very tired today and did not want to deal with the business.
"Yes, Young Master, do you want to eat? His Majesty specially ordered the small kitchen to always prepare food."
"Send it over. Ask someone to set up a small table. I will eat here."
Mu Xi deftly did what Shen Yu asked. Not long after, the small kitchen presented the dishes.
Shen Yu held the chopsticks and said, "Eh? There is a new person in the small kitchen?"
There were several dishes on the table that Shen Yu had not seen before.
"His Majesty asked the imperial chef in the palace who knows how to cook other dishes to send them over. Today, they are served with several dishes that His Majesty often uses. His Majesty, try them and see if they are to your liking." The palace servant in charge of delivering the dishes replied.
Shen Yu tried them one by one. These dishes were not the same as the usual dishes in the palace, but they tasted very good. Shen Yu only ate a few mouthfuls and his appetite was greatly improved. He even ate more rice than usual.
When Shang Junlin came back from the morning court, Shen Yu just finished eating. Seeing that he was eating happily, Shang Junlin directly asked someone to add more bowls and chopsticks, and Shen Yu finished all the leftover dishes.
"Why didn't His Majesty ask someone to serve the dishes again?" Shen Yu leaned against the cushion behind him. Shang Junlin did not make room for him even though he came.
Shang Junlin ate very quickly. His many years in the army had a great impact on him. Just like last night, when they were in the middle of the night, Shen Yu slept until almost noon, Shang Junlin was still able to get up early and go to the morning court.
After a while, Shang Junlin finished eating. He took the handkerchief from Eunuch Meng and wiped his mouth. He said, "A Yu left so much food. Didn't you leave it especially for Zhen?"
"Who left it for you?" Shen Yu turned his face away.
"Okay, A Yu did not deliberately leave it for Zhen." Shang Junlin, who was full, was very easy to talk to. "It was Zhen who was very hungry, okay?"
Eunuch Meng brought people to remove the tableware and table.
Shang Junlin sat on the soft couch, took Shen Yu in his arms, and kissed him on the cheek. "A Yu can't be at odds with Zhen because of what happened last night. Last night, A Yu agreed to it."
"I'm not at odds. I'm just a little uncomfortable."
The atmosphere last night was too good. Shen Yu responded to Shang Junlin with a kiss for the first time, which caused the man to be a little excited. Later, Shen Yu could not resist and used his hand to help him. The two of them made out on the couch, and under the deep gaze of the man, he inexplicably suggested using his leg …
Then it got out of hand.
"Zhen checked this morning. You're not injured. This time, you used the ointment sent by Imperial Physician Gu. Is it better than last time?"
