My Lady is well

Chapter 154 Take the initiative

The smile on Shen Yueyao's lips froze instantly and stayed stiffly on her lips.

Concubine Chen? Is that her?

From Li Ning's words, it could be heard that she had no intention of taking herself with her.

All the concubines with famous names in the palace were invited to attend, leaving her alone to guard the palace gate.

What do you think she is? A dog?

She slowly put away her smile, stood up, and gracefully straightened the wrinkles on her cuffs that she had just pinched. She took a deep breath, her eyes were as cold as ice, and she asked in a cold tone.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, have I ever offended you?"

Li Ning was very confused by the sudden change in Shen Yueyao's expression. She could not help but frowned slightly and asked in a puzzled voice.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Seeing that she looked doubtful and didn't seem to be targeting her on purpose, Shen Yueyao couldn't help but feel suspicious, but also felt a little strange.

She frowned and thought for a moment, then asked hesitantly.

"Why isn't it on the list for the Spring Sorrow?"

As she spoke, she tapped her chest lightly with her fingers, her eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

Li Ning immediately understood what Shen Yueyao meant, nodded in understanding, and explained.

"The Queen Mother said that you are pregnant now, and your status is special, so it is not suitable for you to accompany the emperor on the spring hunt. The paddock has a bloody smell, which may be harmful to the fetus. Therefore, the Queen Mother specifically asked you to stay in the palace and take care of your baby."

Shen Yueyao couldn't help but gasp when she heard this.

She never expected that this was the reason.

She is pregnant, not disabled, so she can't go this or that.

There are so many taboos!

This spring collection is a godsend opportunity. Should she just give it up?

This is absolutely impossible!

She paced anxiously in the Chaomu Palace, racking her brains for a plan to deal with the situation.

The opportunity was right within her reach, but she could only see it but could not touch it. It was as if something was scratching her heart, making her itchy.

She kept walking back and forth, making Jin'er, Dongxue and others' eyes dizzy.

Jin Er sighed and advised, "Master, you should take a rest for a while."

Shen Yueyao was like a deflated ball, with her head hanging and leaning weakly on the beauty couch.

Chunfeng and Qiuju hurried forward, gently rubbed her legs and shoulders, and comforted her softly.

"Master, please don't be anxious! You are pregnant now. We have heard that pregnant women should not be impatient or irritable, otherwise the child will have a bad temper. If there is anything, just tell the emperor, don't bear it alone."

Shen Yueyao sighed deeply and slowly closed her eyes.

This matter...really I have to rely on him.

Otherwise, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.

She felt more and more annoyed, her brows furrowed tightly, and the person who was massaging her legs and shoulders stopped at some point, and the entire bedroom fell silent for a moment.

She slowly opened her eyes, but was suddenly met with a cold gaze.

Shen Yueyao subconsciously tried to prop herself up and sit up, but he raised his hand and gently pressed on her beautiful shoulder to stop her movement.

Then, the visitor sat down beside her and spoke slowly.

"You are not feeling well now, so you don't have to perform formalities when you see me in the future."

Shen Yueyao nodded slightly to show that she understood, and lay back down again.

"Are you used to living here? If you need anything, just talk to Luo Zhong directly."

Shen Yueyao thought for a moment after hearing what he said, then stretched out her white hands and placed them on his broad shoulders. She used some strength to sit up, then put her arms around his neck, looked at him with her beautiful eyes, and asked softly.

"Is anything okay?"

He lowered his eyes, and his burning gaze moved across her charming peach eyes, her slender and upright nose, and finally fell on her two bright red lips.

His scent was like orchid, lingering at the tip of his nose. The fragrance penetrated into his nose like a hook, making his heart shrink.

At this moment, she was as obedient as a docile rabbit. As long as he stretched out his hand slightly, he could easily hold her slender waist; if he lowered his head slightly, he could easily kiss her rosy lips...

His eyes, which had been icy cold at first, seemed to have rolled in warm water, losing some of their coldness and revealing a barely perceptible tenderness.

He was indeed a little intoxicated, but not to the point of being blinded by lust.

She was so proactive in trying to please him, what on earth was this little devil planning?

Never mind, let’s just see what other tricks she has up her sleeve.

"Tell me."

She coquettishly touched the corner of his mouth with her soft lips, giving him a kiss as light as a dragonfly touching the water, but it made people's hearts tremble.

Her voice was soft and tender: "I heard that the emperor was going to the Spring Festival. I haven't seen the Spring Festival yet. I also want to go. Can the emperor..."

It turned out that she was waiting for him here.

He lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a rare laziness in his eyes, a hint of smile, and a more leisurely tone.

"What are you going to do? You don't know how to bend a bow and shoot an arrow. Besides, the paddock is no joke. You are pregnant, what if something goes wrong? What should we do?"

He had indeed considered taking her to the hunting grounds, after all, she had always longed to take a look outside the palace.

But when he just proposed this idea, he was strongly opposed by the Queen Mother.

However, this time he thought what the Queen Mother said made sense. Going to the hunting ground would face too many uncontrollable situations. Now, it was safest for her to stay in the palace.

In fact, he knew very well the Queen Mother's intention of having all the concubines in the harem go to the hunting ground, but she didn't allow Shen Yueyao to go alone, which was obviously intended to send her away.

The purpose is nothing more than to let him benefit equally.

At this moment, she actually took the initiative to bring up this matter, and for a moment he couldn't make up his mind whether to take her with him.

But seeing how well-behaved and pleasing she was, he couldn't help but feel a little teasing.

She frowned slightly and said softly, "But I really want to watch Your Majesty hunting. I have never seen Your Majesty riding a horse and shooting arrows! Your Majesty, please allow me to go with you, okay? After I go, I can..."

He raised his eyebrows calmly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his thin lips.

"What can be done?"

You can escape!

"Yes...deliver the arrow to the Emperor."

"I have guards."

Shen Yueyao's breathing paused, and she moved her head closer to his arms, pressed against his chest, and spoke in a delicate voice.

"…You can do something else instead of delivering arrows."

"What? Explain clearly."
