Chapter 271 - 206: The Empress’s Lazy Daily Life (Part 3)
There is no difficult task in the world, as long as you’re willing to give up—Empress Quote No. 3
Shen Jingxian indulged in another lazy sleep, and upon waking, heard the palace maid report that the civil servants were worried about the Emperor’s health and had sent various supplements.
Shen Jingxian: ?
This, this is quite embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxian hurriedly asked Wen Ranchen to bring her clothes, as she needed to start her business.
But the palace maid continued, "The officials left after dropping off the gifts, saying they didn’t want to disturb the Emperor, hoping the Emperor would rest well and recover."
Shen Jingxian was moved.
Her tears flowed down from her forehead, feeling momentarily guilty, and then she decided to go find Song Yan to play.
Song Yan was on her side, even if Song Yan found out that she simply didn’t want to attend court, it didn’t matter.
As for Wen Ranchen, she left him in the palace to deal with the official documents.
Wen Ranchen seemed like he was about to cry, bringing up the matter when Shen Jingxian wrote so many letters to Song Yan but only wrote one sentence for him.
Shen Jingxian felt guilty, but she couldn’t lose her momentum, "You’re my husband, there’s no need for formalities between us, hence there’s less to write!"
"No formalities, but no words of longing either," Wen Ranchen’s voice sounded softly beside her ear.
"Well... what do you want then?" Shen Jingxian ultimately felt guilty.
"I want the lady to promise me one request."
"What request?"
"You’ll know when you return, dear lady."
Shen Jingxian felt uncertain, so she asked again, "It’s not something very difficult, right?"
Wen Ranchen smiled warmly, "For the lady, it’s effortless."
Shen Jingxian felt reassured.
Though Wen Ranchen is quite crafty, he had never lied to her before. Since it’s an easy task, it shouldn’t be a big deal.
Shen Jingxian lightly went to Song Yan’s mansion. Before coming, she had someone send a letter, so Song Yan should have prepared some treats waiting for her.
After all, she’s a woman who can create pearl milk tea, taro balls, and pomelo sago from her descriptions, you can always trust Song Yan’s creativity!
Walking in the Imperial Palace, Shen Jingxian: Cold and elegant.
By the Duke Mansion’s door, Shen Jingxian: Overwhelming charm.
Seeing Song Yan, Shen Jingxian grinned foolishly: "Sister Song Yan! What are we eating today?!"
Song Yan chuckled lightly, His Majesty is always like this, as if the palace lacks her food.
"The mochi you mentioned last time, I tried making it, you can taste today whether it’s the flavor you wanted."
Shen Jingxian’s eyes immediately lit up.
Seeing this, Song Yan realized her worries were unnecessary. His Majesty seems well, so... must have been just oversleeping.
These days attending court has indeed exhausted His Majesty, after all, when His Majesty was a princess, she didn’t like waking up early.
Perhaps... she’ll find a chance to suggest to Wen Ranchen whether they can move the court time to the afternoon.
Your Majesty can’t bring this up, but for a minister to propose it under the guise of concern for His Majesty’s health would be perfect.
As Song Yan thought about this, she took out the pastries she already prepared for Shen Jingxian.
Shen Jingxian obediently sat on the chair in the courtyard that was exclusively hers.
She initially wanted to ask whether the two men chasing Song Yan behaved today, but then thought it unnecessary, as surely those two would appear soon.
She heard that these two check in at the Duke Mansion daily, without fail, competing on who can move Song Yan first.
However... the Song Yan now is not the reserved maiden from the novel who had to plan meticulously, she is the head of civil servants and an undisputed powerful minister.
To move a powerful minister, it’s not just about handing over your heart, it might need to dance a little as well.
Shen Jingxian took a bite of the mochi made by Song Yan, the rich milky aroma and soft texture, it was exactly as she imagined!
Delicious!
Song Yan truly is a genius!
"So delicious, woo woo woo," Shen Jingxian’s tears flowed from the corners of her mouth.
She’s now in the most relaxed state, unlike how she posed while attending court, even Song Yan was momentarily stunned, as if back to the days when she lived in Yi Fen Palace, sharing meals and stays with the Princess.
One might think that after the Princess became the Emperor, their relationship would shift more towards sovereign and minister than friends, but Song Yan now knows she might have overthought it.
The Princess is still that Princess.
Doing as she pleases, radiant and dazzling.
Thinking back, when the Princess suddenly said she wanted to be an Empress... oh well.
As long as the Princess... no, His Majesty is happy, that’s all that matters.
