Chapter 279: I’m Not Hungry
“Relying on Our leniency toward them, they are still acting so lawlessly.” Emperor Qin was so angry that his chest heaved up and down.
Eunuch Li became even more afraid to speak, wishing he could shrink into an ant and see and hear nothing.
“If she wants to strike it, let her strike it.”
“Your Majesty, who has offended you to make you suddenly so angry?”
Suddenly, a coquettish voice sounded from outside the door.
Eunuch Li lifted his head like seeing a lifesaving straw.
The person who came was none other than Consort Yan, who had been favored more by Emperor Qin during this period.
She held a tray in her hand, with a plate of Plum Blossom Cake on it, and approached with a smile full of joy.
“Why have you come?”
Emperor Qin’s tone involuntarily softened a bit.
Consort Yan came to his front, with a smile on her lips, and said, “I saw Your Majesty has been quite tired handling affairs lately, so I thought of bringing some pastries for Your Majesty.”
After speaking, she lifted her slender hand, pinched a small piece of pastry and placed it by Emperor Qin’s mouth. Emperor Qin had no appetite now and turned his head away, “We are not hungry.”
“Your Majesty, this is something your consort specially made in the middle of the night, picking their stamens when the plum blossoms had not yet bloomed. I heard that unopened stamens have the effect of refreshing the mind and relieving fatigue, so your consort made it especially for Your Majesty.”
These words made Emperor Qin’s heart soften involuntarily. He lifted his head to look at her aggrieved appearance and couldn’t help pulling her into his arms, opening his mouth to take a small bite.
“Alright, beloved consort, We will eat it.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but gently scrape her nose bridge with pampering affection.
Consort Yan’s head rested on his chest, her hand drawing circles on his chest.
“Your consort is very happy.”
Smelling the fragrance emanating from her body, the irritability in his heart lessened a bit.
“As long as beloved consort is happy.”
Consort Yan casually asked, “Your Majesty, your consort just saw you flew into a great rage. What was the matter?”
Speaking of this, Emperor Qin lifted his head, his face instantly darkening.
His jaw clenched tightly.
Consort Yan sat on his lap, lifted her hand to hug his neck, and smiled, “Who has made our Your Majesty unhappy? Tell it to your consort, let your consort help Your Majesty vent your anger.”
Seeing Consort Yan’s coquettish appearance, Emperor Qin couldn’t help laughing.
“With your little frame, you can help Me vent anger?”
As he spoke, he looked her up and down.
Consort Yan slightly raised her head, “Hmph, Your Majesty, don’t underestimate me, I also have great strength.”
Emperor Qin immediately burst out laughing.
With a face full of pampering, he said, “Good, good, We believe you.”
After speaking, he burst into hearty laughter.
After laughing, he felt much more refreshed in his heart.
“As long as Your Majesty is happy.” Consort Yan said with a light smile.
“You really are Our happy fruit.” Emperor Qin looked at Consort Yan with a gentle face.
Consort Yan followed her words, “To be Your Majesty’s happy fruit is your consort’s good fortune.”
Emperor Qin became even happier and couldn’t help sighing, “If everyone were like you, We…”
Realizing something, Emperor Qin stopped and his face became serious.
“Your Majesty, has something happened? You just said your consort is your happy fruit, but you are not happy now. If you say it out, you might feel much better.”
Emperor Qin gave her a glance.
After a while, he said, “Forget it, you will know about this matter anyway. The Crown Princess struck the Drum for reporting grievances at Dali Temple to plead innocence for the Crown Prince.”
“Ah?” Consort Yan was slightly surprised.
But she quickly composed her expression and said seriously, “Hasn’t Your Majesty already made a decision? Why did the Crown Princess still go to strike the Drum for reporting grievances?”
Speaking of this, Emperor Qin’s brows furrowed tightly, “She is just stirring up trouble for nothing. We spared her for the sake of Grand Tutor Ling, but unexpectedly she is so ungrateful.”
