Chapter 376: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (21)
It was not known whether it was because Concubine Shu was in good spirits these days or because she lowered her attitude, but anyway, the Emperor let her in.

The two stayed in the imperial study for a while, and finally returned to the Xianyang Palace together, had dinner together, and went to bed.

As a palace maid, Lin Yan must be serving on the side.

If you look closely, you can find that the maids around Concubine Shu are all of average appearance. None of them are ugly, but neither are they pretty. They are just average.

However, because of the luxurious jewelry and the aura they have cultivated in the palace, they look more stable. They are suitable for serving others, but not for being masters.

The reason is actually very clear.

Although the emperor was not lustful, who knew which maid would be so shameless as to seduce him? The emperor was a man who always accepted everyone who came to him. He favored her and she did not need to take any responsibility.

The palace maid achieved her goal, the emperor met his needs, and both of them were happy.

But Concubine Shu couldn't bear to see such a thing happen, so if someone around her angered her, she would kill him, and if someone was obedient, she would send him to the cold palace to do chores.

The main theme is out of sight, out of mind.

Lin Yan was also thankful that she did not take any beauty pills at the beginning. Otherwise, with the effect of the pills, she would have become a thorn in the side of Concubine Shu.

At this moment, she stood aside, looking down at the ground.

It was not her turn to serve the master at meals, so it was nice to be a statue nearby. But it was still a bit uncomfortable to smell the food but not be able to eat it.

Thinking back to the past, although the memory is a little fuzzy, I still vaguely remember that I was the one who was served. I could enjoy the days of having clothes to wear and food to eat.

But now... Alas, the past can only be recalled.

Being a senior maid is better than being a third-class maid. I get more money every month, and I can have more meat and vegetables every week, so I eat more than before. I don't have to go to the imperial kitchen to get food, I just have to wait and eat, which is good.

In fact, the Xianyang Palace also has a small kitchen, but it is usually used exclusively by the Concubine Shu. If anyone else wants to use it? Maybe they think they have too many brains?
At the dinner table, the two masters ate in a warm atmosphere. The emperor would occasionally pick up dishes for Concubine Shu, as if he had memorized the dishes that Concubine Shu liked.

Concubine Shu was very touched, and her eyes were full of stars. She looked like she was in her early twenties at the age of thirty. Although she was not as old as those young ladies who had just entered the palace, this mature woman's state was also unique.

The emperor enjoyed it very much. He enjoyed the other person's admiring expression and the fact that her eyes were filled with only him. It seemed that he was her whole world.

"My beloved concubine, are you still going to go with us for the autumn hunt next month? With your condition, why don't you stay in the palace to take care of your pregnancy?"

The annual autumn hunt is also an event held by the royal family every year. In fact, it is similar to the company's team building, enhancing the relationship between employees, or... observing the situation of employees?

That being said, we will only know the actual situation when the time comes.

Concubine Shu's eyes sparkled, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, I originally wanted to stay in this palace to have a safe pregnancy. But then I thought, this autumn hunt only happens once a year. If I don't go, wouldn't it spoil everyone's fun?"

"Besides, if my child is born next year, I am afraid I won't be able to go next year. If I go this year, it can be seen through my eyes. I want him to know that his father is a hero and know how heroic his father is."

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

The emperor was so delighted by what she said that he laughed out loud, sounding very heroic. He wanted to touch the pregnant belly with his big hand, but he slowed down and softened the force as he got closer.

"Since this is what my beloved concubine said, I can only take you with me and let my child see this country!" Although there was no other meaning in his words, Concubine Shu's heart suddenly beat a beat faster.

What does it mean?

She was a human being, and she also had ambitions. Before she had children, she only wanted the emperor's favor. She had always sneered at the idea of ​​adopting someone else's child.

After all, other people's children are blood relatives, and if she raises an ungrateful child, that would be even more terrible. So she would rather not have it than raise other people's children.

When I heard that she had her own child, thoughts that had never come to my mind before now came to my mind.

Women are weak, but mothers are strong.

Her mother's family was powerful, and was on par with the queen. However, the momentum had not been very strong in recent years, so it had not yet surpassed her.

If she gave birth to a prince, she would definitely fight for it. After all, paving the way for her own child is what every mother would do.

But if she was a princess, it wouldn't be a problem. Far away from the center of power, with her as a powerful backer, she would not end up marrying a foreign prince anyway.

She had thought of all this in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face.

There was a lot of food for dinner, but neither of them ate much. Basically, they took two chopsticks of each dish and stopped eating. So when the dishes were cleared away, the plates were still full.

Because the treasury of this dynasty was full, extravagance and waste were common. However, such large amounts of food were generally not thrown away, but directly distributed to the palace servants below.

This is also the advantage of being a head maid, eating the master's leftovers.

They said it was leftover, but it was no different from not touching it. Besides, they used serving chopsticks to pick it up, so it didn't get saliva on it, it was very clean.

These palace maids didn't mind even if their saliva got on such expensive food.

"Come on, Vanilla, you don't have to be on duty tonight, so stop standing guard."

"Yes, yes, you've been standing for so long, you must be hungry, right? Come and eat, there are so many delicious dishes, let's share them."

The palace maids eat much more than their masters, after all, they do more work on a daily basis.

In order to maintain her figure, the master doesn't eat too much. Besides, before meals, she sometimes eats small snacks such as cakes, so she doesn't eat much.

The rest are cheap for them.

Lin Yan also joined them. There was no need to be polite to them, nor to show any superiority. Being too different would only make people isolate her.

The food tastes good, but a little bland. Of course, that's understandable.

A bunch of people shared the leftovers and ate them all up in no time. After cleaning up the dishes, everyone went back to their dormitories.

Early the next morning, Lin Yan received the news that she was also in the autumn hunting team.
