concubine on top

Chapter 56

Facts have proved that the time for Shen Yanchuan's move to live in separate rooms was very appropriate, because the next day some courtiers reported that it was inappropriate for the emperor and noble concubines to sit and sleep together, which was indecent, and quite a few people agreed.

The little emperor narrowed his eyes, stroked his chin, remained silent, but said in his heart: This group of people is the culprit for the separation between himself and the imperial concubine!

The courtiers also raised their eyes quietly to look at him, and saw that he had been silent for a long time, and thought to himself: I thought he was not lustful, but now it seems that Duanxiu didn't meet a man!Right now, she has only slept with the imperial concubine for a few days, and she refuses to let go!

The two sides scolded each other several times in their hearts, and in the end it was the little emperor who spoke first:

"You are worrying too much, how could I have no sense of proportion? Previously, I was a concubine as a lifesaver, and her life was hanging by a thread. How could I not take care of it? But last night, I have already urged the concubine to move back to the side hall. Come on, he still needs time to recuperate his body, and secondly, as you said, to prevent someone with a heart from ruining the reputation of the imperial concubine."

All the officials did not expect that the little emperor had made a decision, they were all very surprised, and they didn't even realize that the little emperor directly tampered with what they said.

The little emperor looked at the stunned courtiers, and continued with a suppressed smile: "Besides, I heard that there is often heavy rain in Tengzhou in July, and the floods are not over yet. If there is another heavy rain, it may not be good for repairing the embankment. I intend to lead all the courtiers to sacrifice to heaven , fasting for a month, during which you will not be sexually attracted to men and women, the right is to accumulate merits and pray for the people of Tengzhou and even the Minister of the Ministry of officials, are you willing to contribute to them?"

He put on the titles of Common People and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but the subordinates had some scruples, so they had to bow their heads and agree.

"Oh, by the way, building canals for disaster relief is a major event, and praying for blessings must be done with absolute sincerity. Just to be prudent, I will add one more item to the decree just now." He summoned a writer and said loudly, "If I find that someone is not fasting, If you have some boudoir trouble with your wife, concubine, maidservant, and servant girl, you will be dismissed immediately. If you dare to secretly call singers, dancers, Qingshou, Hongshou, and the like into the mansion, you will not be allowed to enter the court for generations. That's all for now, and I will send it to you later. Drafting the decree... All right, all right, retreat!"

As soon as the little emperor got off the jade steps and turned around, a triumphant smile appeared on his face - didn't he prevent me from getting close to the imperial concubine?Alright, let’s all cultivate ourselves!Let me see if you still dare to meddle in my affairs in the future!

I don’t know if this sincere enough prayer really moved the world. God picked the clouds in Fujizhou directly over the capital. In July, there was no heavy rain in Fujizhou, and the construction of the embankment did not stop. Ten days of torrential rain.Because of the rain, the little emperor still couldn't go to Jianting for class, so he could only deal with government affairs and read secret reports in the hall every day.

One day, there was nothing important in court, and after he had finished grading the pitifully small number of papers, he immediately jumped up from his chair: "It's hot!"

Xiao Fuzi chased him and fanned him, while he ran to the entrance of the hall and directed the palace servants to open the door slightly to let in the cool breeze. He didn't invite people until the sweat on his body was blown dry: "It's almost time to be with you." Concubine, shall we have dinner together?"

Xiao Fuzi bowed and said, "There is still an hour before dinner, Your Majesty, why don't you order two desserts first?"

"That's right! I want Bingxue Leng Yuanzi and Misha Bing!" said the little emperor, "When you're ready, come directly to the hall!"

In order to ventilate and prevent stuffiness, the curtains of the side hall are always raised during the day, but there is no movement inside.The little emperor originally thought that Shen Yanchuan had fallen asleep, so he tiptoed into the door to take a look, but saw that he was sitting on the couch looking at something, there was half a bowl of cold water lychee ointment left on the couch to relieve the heat.

"I'm awake, so I won't come to accompany me." The little emperor stretched out his hand to stick the bowl filled with lychee cream, it was still damp, but it was no longer cool, obviously it had been placed on the small table for a long time.

The little emperor stirred it with a spoon, scooped up a little bit and tasted it, it was so sweet that it was sour, and even his words contained sourness: "If I eat it myself, I won't give it to me, the imperial concubine doesn't even have me in her heart."

"Didn't the emperor ask his concubine to rest well, and if there was anything he needed, he would send it?" Shen Yanchuan continued to flip through the book in his hand without raising his eyelids, "Are you getting stingy this time?"

"Of course not, I even ordered Misha Bing for you!" The little emperor sat on the other side of the table, looked at Shen Yanchuan with his head propped up, and whispered, "Isn't it weird that I don't see you all the time?" You were always by my side when I reviewed papers before."

Shen Yanchuan was very hard-hearted: "How can a child run away, why should parents carry him away?"

The little emperor couldn't say no to him, and he was thinking of being a little rascal - he prayed "sincerely" to God, but up to now he hasn't even touched Shen Yanchuan's hand!Shen Yanchuan was calm and relaxed, he didn't mean to be anxious at all!

Thinking of this, the little emperor said angrily: "Shen Yanchuan, are you a man after all?"

"When we met for the first time, the concubine said that the emperor wants to make sure that he can touch it himself." Shen Yanchuan turned a page with a calm expression, "However, the concubine has also taught the emperor, before doing it, think about the consequences. bear."

The little emperor immediately kua pressed down.

Recently, he wanted to "eat" Shen Yanchuan so much that he almost forgot that Shen Yanchuan was sent here to "eat" him.A few days ago, he took a sneak peek at Xiao Fuzi's collection of albums, and he probably understood the way to "eat". Now, when he entered the perspective of the "being eaten", he felt panicked.

That kind of thing...is not the same as the small play during punishment.

A body like mine was covered under the cover of clothes before... Shen Yanchuan had never looked at it carefully, if he wanted to put it all under Shen Yanchuan's eyes...

He hadn't thought about it, let alone prepared it.

Shen Yanchuan was speechless for a while, and finally took a look at him, and saw that his face was blushing, his head was lowered, and his expression was a bit embarrassed.

Seeing his blank appearance, Shen Yanchuan couldn't bear to talk about him, so he softened his voice and explained to him: "The concubine has to perform his duties, and he can't be by your side all the time."

As Shen Yanchuan said, he handed over the booklet he was flipping through for the little emperor to read: "Look?"

小皇帝接过看了，小声念出来：“干枣1两6钱、香油6两、豆腐1斤8两、甜酱6两5钱、醋2两5钱……这是账本？你怎么在看这些？”

"The concubine receives the imperial concubine's salary of 600 taels a year, so she must fulfill her duties." Shen Yanchuan took back the account book and put it on the small table, "There is no queen now, and the imperial concubine is the highest position in the entire harem, and all the accounts of the harem belong to the minister The concubine is in charge."

"But I haven't heard of anyone managing accounts before?"

"It used to be under the care of the Queen Mother."

The little emperor felt a little ashamed when he thought that the former empress dowager was in charge of both the front court and the harem, and asked in a low voice of concern: "Then...there are not many people in the harem, so you can barely see it?"

"It was obvious at first, but the concubine has been in bed for a long time, and there is a lot of backlog. The account books of rice, flour, grain and oil you just saw, as well as the accounts of silk and utensils, will take a while to clarify."

"With so many ledgers, wouldn't the noble concubine's eyes be spoiled?" The little emperor had a clever idea, "Then let Meiyu Yu and Cairen Chu assist the Six Palaces? It will definitely help a lot.”

"Does the emperor think they have nothing to do?"

The little emperor smiled indifferently: "Tricking cats and dogs all day long, isn't it just that you have nothing to do?"

Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "The beauty is in charge of leading the female officials to perform sacrifices and the affairs of guests; the talented man is in charge of ordering the swallow's bedroom, and arranging silk standards, so as to dedicate the merits of the new year."

There was a thunderstorm outside the window, and the little emperor was shocked on the spot as if struck by lightning: "...Is that so?!"

In the first two years before co-authoring, he did nothing by himself, wandering around the palaces to gamble!

The little emperor couldn't bear the guilt, and Ai Ai had some sense of atonement: "Then... how about I help you? Anyway, I don't have any other important things today, I have some time."

Shen Yanchuan shook his head calmly, stretched out his hand and pressed the ledger on the table: "The emperor can't and shouldn't interfere with the affairs of the harem. When the emperor is free, he can spend some time paying attention to the people in the capital, even if he sleeps to raise money. Good spirits too."

The little emperor lowered his head and sat silently for a while, then suddenly walked behind Shen Yanchuan, and gently hugged his shoulder: "Shen Yanchuan, you are too tired to be a noble concubine...With your talent and learning, you are a courtier..."

Shen Yanchuan let him hold him, his eyes caressing the dry ink on the paper.

To be a courtier?

More than ten years ago, he also had the same thought. At that time, he was still the smartest boy in the school, and everyone praised him for his handsome appearance and bright future.

But that happened more than ten years ago after all, things are different, and his thinking has long since changed.

Shen Yanchuan felt a little emotional in his heart, and answered in a gentle and deep voice: "If you are a courtier, you can't always be with the emperor."

The little emperor pressed his heart, and hugged him even tighter: "Then why don't you just be the commander of the hidden guard? Like Hu Qian, I can't see him, but I know he is around me. When I wave, he out."

"Heh," Shen Yanchuan smiled and stretched his hand behind his back, and patted him lightly on the waist, "Then you summon your concubines all the time, so you can still be called a 'dark' guard?"

The little emperor also laughed, pecked his side cheek, then closed his eyes and said seriously: "Shen Yanchuan, I like you, I believe in you, I will give you whatever you want."

Perhaps it was embarrassing to be heard, but the little emperor's voice was very soft, like talking in a dream, with a bit of blissful beauty, and the gradually growing body was attached to Shen Yanchuan's back through the satin material, full of heat and strength , together with these words invaded Shen Yanchuan's senses.

At that moment, Shen Yanchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he really wanted to say something.

But the little emperor seemed to just say an oath, and the oath does not require any response, so he let go of his hand after speaking: "Then I won't bother you, remember to eat the snacks when they arrive later, but don't be too greedy If you eat it, you will get a headache."

After he finished speaking, he walked away, walked to the door and turned back: "Sleep for a while when you are tired, and ask the little eunuch to give you a shoulder squeeze."
