The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 21 Gossip
That's why after paying her respects this time, she really saw the Emperor Longyan in front of her.

Sword eyebrows were drawn into the temples, and the bridge of the nose was high, but the eyes were very cold, and the lips were thinly pursed.

Lin Wanyi suddenly remembered a sentence she said when she accompanied her mother to see her future sister-in-law in the mansion.

"People with thin lips are often cold, so the daughter-in-law you choose for your elder brother has to choose one with thicker lips."

If this standard is followed, the emperor in front of him may not be able to pass the test of his mother, which is a pity, a pity.

The bright yellow robe looked very dignified on him, but perhaps due to the recent overwork, his tall and burly figure was a little thinner.

Lin Wanyi still had a virtuous and docile appearance, but this time she was more proactive.

"Your Majesty is tired?"

Looking at the bruises under his eyes and his frowning all the time, he knew that government affairs must be busy, and maybe a little tricky.

"Well, have you used up your dinner?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it has been used."

"Like it?"

"The braised three delicacies inside are good."

"I also like that dish, I will ask the imperial dining room to send it to you later to add more dishes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lin Wanyi didn't know what to do, she served bed twice and gave food twice, those who didn't know might think how much she likes to eat.

He sighed deeply in his heart, but still had to pretend to like it on his face.

The emperor didn't know the small things in Lin Wanyi's heart, so he stretched out his hands and said calmly.

"Let's change clothes."

Lin Wanyi saw that there was no one in the inner hall, only she was there, so naturally she came to change clothes.

There were not many buttons on the robe, so it could be undone in two or three strokes, and she was wearing the same bright yellow pajamas, which made Lin Wanyi's eyes hurt a little from the shaking.

Golden dragons are embroidered on the corners of the inner garment, which looks majestic.

Lin Wanyi stroked it lightly with her fingers, and felt that the stitches were fine and exquisite. She couldn't help but sigh that the embroiderer in the palace is really amazing!
Her actions did not escape the eyes of the emperor, so she asked.

"Last time you said that you learned some embroidery from your mother?"

"Back to Your Majesty, yes."

"Well, if that's the case, let's embroider a pajamas for me. The pajamas from the sewing room shake my head."

Lin Wanyi was dumbfounded, this emperor is really a master who can beat snakes around sticks, so he arranged errands for her so quickly.

He muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to make any expression on his face, so he replied immediately.

"The concubine obeys the order."

Before coming, the emperor had already washed, so he sat on the dragon couch in pajamas.

Seeing that Lin Wanyi was still standing in front of her, she patted the place next to her and said.

"Come and sit down."

When he spoke, he was weak, and pinched the top of the bridge of his nose with both hands, revealing a strong sense of exhaustion.

Seeing him like this, Lin Wanyi blurted out somehow.

"Your Majesty, my maidservant can press it for you."

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she regretted them deeply.

She has only served the bed once now, will such an action make people think that she intends to flatter the Lord?

Unfortunately, she was allowed by the emperor before she had time to think about it.

Turning on the bed, one by one lay down in Lin Wanyi's arms, Lin Wanyi was so frightened that she dared not move.

She forced herself to calm down, but such skin-to-skin contact really made her a little overwhelmed.

Feeling her slight trembling, the emperor, who had closed his eyes to enjoy himself, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Wanyi.

"Didn't you say you wanted to massage my head? Haven't started yet?"

The emperor has been in office for a long time, and a casual word seems to be an order.

Lin Wanyi had no choice but to accept the emperor in front of her as her mother.

Fortunately, she has the habit of massaging her mother's head on weekdays, so she has a perfect grasp of strength, acupuncture points and techniques.

Maybe it was too tired, or maybe Lin Wanyi pressed it too comfortably.

After a while, the lying emperor breathed evenly, apparently falling asleep.

Looking at the relaxed emperor, Lin Wanyi had to sigh.

Everyone wants to be this supreme position, but how many people know the hardships behind it?
Being a king is not enough to just be greedy for pleasure. If you don't care about the people in the country, you may not be able to sit securely in your seat.

Thinking about it, I remembered "On the Way of the King" that my second uncle once said when I was at my grandfather's house.

The way of being a king must first save the people.

If one harms the common people in order to honor one's body, it is like cutting one's thighs to eat one's belly, and one dies of body fullness.

If the world is to be safe, one must first rectify one's body, before one's body is rectified, the shadows are distorted, and the top is governed but the bottom is chaotic.

Nowadays, the world is clean and clear, and there must be reasons why the people in front of us are working hard to govern.

Thinking of this, the massage for him became lighter, but it made the sleeping emperor feel more at ease.

Until Zishi, Eunuch Dong didn't hear any movement inside for a long time, so he called out in a low voice, "Your Majesty."

Seeing no one responded, he walked in quietly.

The emperor, who had always been a light sleeper, was now sleeping soundly, while Lin Wanyi was leaning on the shelf next to the bed and fell asleep.

The two slept peacefully, and Dong Yuzhong had never seen this scene before.

But for a moment, the corner of his mouth turned up.

Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong at all, the future that Lin promised should not be underestimated.

But right now, the rules of serving the bed cannot be abolished.

If she stayed overnight in Qian'an Palace, there would be trouble in the harem tomorrow.

So he stepped forward and called Lin Wanyi softly a few times.

Lin Wanyi slept lightly, and soon woke up from the dream. When she saw Dong Yuzhong, she immediately understood what it meant.

So the emperor's head was gently removed from his legs.

Seeing this, Dong Yuzhong immediately cushioned the pillow, covered the brocade quilt, and said in a low voice after he settled the emperor properly.

"My lord, it's time, and this servant will send you back to Yihua Palace."

"I miss my father-in-law so much."

As soon as I wanted to get up, I realized that my legs were numb, and whenever I moved, I felt a sharp pain.

Seeing this, Dong Yuzhong immediately stepped forward to help, stretched out a hand and said.

"Let's put the little master in the hands of the servant, the soft sedan chair is waiting outside, and I can send the little master back to rest immediately."

Lin Wanyi wanted to refuse, but her legs were so numb that if she fell and knocked, she would be the one to suffer in the end, so she had no choice but to say gratefully to Dong Yuzhong.

"Thank you, Mr. Dong."

Then he walked out slowly, got on the soft sedan chair, and walked steadily towards Yihua Palace all the way.

As for Chun Qi, Xia An was still waiting in front of the palace gate, and when she got off the soft sedan chair, her leg numbness was much better.

The two stepped forward and supported each other, and gave some money to the eunuchs who lifted their feet as before.

"Let's go."

"Yes."

When the master and servant returned to the hall on the left, Lin Wanyi didn't even have the energy to wash.

Xia An saw the problems with her legs and feet at a glance, so she asked worriedly.

"My lord, what happened to your leg?"

"It's okay, His Majesty fell asleep, so it's a little numb."

When Chun Qi heard this, she was not only happy that her little lord was favored by the emperor, but also felt a pity that she missed a good opportunity to serve her bed.
