After the eldest lady left, Shen Ruochen kept himself in the room for several days, feeling depressed every day. Little Walnut and the others did not dare to speak.

Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Ruochen said, "Does everyone in the palace watch lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

Little Walnut hurriedly said, "Not only are there lanterns, but there are also fireworks. They are said to be tributes from the south. They are so beautiful!"

"Since it looks so good, let me go and take a look." Shen Ruochen said, "Do you know where to put it?"

"It's just to the east of Zhonghe Hall," Xiao Walnut said overjoyed, "Would you like to see it?"

"You said they are beautiful fireworks, so wouldn't we be at a loss if we don't go see them?" Shen Ruochen showed a long-lost smile, "Let's go see them together!"

Little Walnut was very happy. His master finally smiled. The fireworks were not important, what was important was his master's mood!

"Why are you still giggling?" Shen Ruochen said, "What time is it? If you don't bring the Lantern Festival to your master quickly, you might as well let your master watch it on an empty stomach!"

"Yes Yes!"

Little Walnut excitedly went to the imperial dining room in person and said, "Excuse me, master. I'll have a bowl each of black sesame stuffing and peanut stuffing."

Seeing that it was Chu Xiugong who came to ask for something, the little eunuchs were very attentive. The little eunuch with a familiar face hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister, there are several kinds of stuffing here. How about we get some more and give them to the concubine to taste?" taste?"

"What other fillings are there?"

"Mung bean, red bean, crab roe, and osmanthus honey filling!"

"This is strange," Xiao Walnut took a few glances, "I wonder how you guys came up with such a variety of flower petals that can also be used as stuffing?"

"I just want the masters to eat more smoothly," the little eunuch said with a smile, "Pack some of each kind for my sister?"

Little Walnut looked at it and said, "Forget it, our master is eating and picking up food, so he might not like it."

"Then let all the sisters in the courtyard have a taste." The little eunuch took out a three-layered box from the large cabinet on the side. "Don't bother me for a while. Let's help you send it back."

As he spoke, he packed four of each variety of glutinous rice balls and put them all into the lunch box. Then he called a young eunuch and said, "Take these two, and don't let them go."

Seeing this, Little Walnut had no choice but to thank him and accept it, "I'll bring you something good next time."

"Thank you sister!"

When all the dumplings were placed on the table, Shen Ruochen's eyes widened, "So many?"

"The imperial kitchen has to give it to you, so it's not good if you don't take it," said Little Walnut. "The master has a taste. Whether it's good or not is up to them."

"I can't eat so much. Just save one of each of these flavors. You can take the rest and eat them before they get cold." Shen Ruochen looked at them and explained, "Everyone is also very happy."

The little lotus on the side smiled and joked, "We are so lucky. All the masters think of us and live like the second young lady. Who will believe it!"

"Yes, the master is so considerate of us." Xiao Dezi also laughed and joined in. It was rare that the master was finally in a good mood and finally let go. I didn't know what the eldest lady of the Shen family said before, which made her master depressed for so long.

"What a blessing! Aren't all the injuries on your bodies because of me?" Shen Ruochen looked at everyone with pity, "I have made you endure hardships, but I promise that it will never happen again in the future, and I will never let you suffer again. Bullied!"

"Master, why do you still remember it? It has been cured long ago. Don't keep it in your heart!"

"Master, you..."

"Okay, no more talking," Shen Ruochen said to everyone with a smile, "Let's all go down and eat Yuanxiao."

"Why don't you wait for me to eat Yuanxiao?" Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Emperor Yuande walked in with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid of accumulating food when there are so many kinds of Yuanxiao? Why are you still so greedy?"

Shen Ruochen quickly stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"Why don't you welcome me?" Emperor Yuan De looked at Shen Ruochen's expression, a little tentative.

It made Shen Ruochen feel a little sad. The majestic king of a country was so cautious about him. Could it be that the emperor really fell in love with him?

Did you fall in love with yourself, or with a memory from your youth? Shen Ruochen didn't dare to think about it, but whether it was for the Shen family or for himself, the emperor's favor was the most important thing at the moment!

"How could it be? It's not too late to welcome me," Shen Ruochen said with a hint of shame, "Before, I was ignorant and made the emperor angry. I have been thinking about it these past few days, and I am afraid that the emperor will never see you again. What if you’re not coming?”

"You...don't blame me for not telling you in time?"

"Your Majesty is also thinking about my concubine. It's the concubine who doesn't know what's good or bad, so she still talks to you..." Shen Ruochen looked at the emperor cautiously, "Your Majesty, just don't be as familiar with me as your concubine."

Emperor Yuande was very happy, "It's rare that you finally figured it out. That's good. I'm not angry. I'm more than ten years older than you. How can I be angry with a little girl like you!"

"Really?" Shen Ruochen lowered himself down and acted small, which was very helpful to Emperor Yuande. He hugged Shen Ruochen and said, "

Don't worry, your father has passed away. I will take care of you from now on and will never let you be bullied. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty didn't blame the concubines. It's a blessing from Heaven. How dare you beg for anything else!"

"I don't like you talking like this. Just stay the same as before," Emperor Yuan De ignored others and whispered, "Long time no see. I'll talk to you tonight."

"Your Majesty, today is fifteen, and you are going to accompany the Queen," Shen Ruochen whispered, "Why did you forget?"

"Oh, I was so happy that I forgot," Emperor Yuan De patted his head, "Then I..."

"Concubine, I'm waiting for you. We can do it anytime."

"Yes! Yes!" Emperor Yuan De was very happy and said, "Our days are long, and the future is bright!"

Seeing Shen Ruochen's obedient look, Emperor Yuande smiled and said, "When I came here, I was still afraid of you... I didn't dare to come in at the door. Fortunately, I came in, otherwise I wouldn't know that you had already thought about it. "

"I am ignorant." Shen Ruochen lowered his head.

"No, I was too impatient, and I made you feel wronged that day," Emperor Yuan De held Shen Ruochen's hand, "I will make it up to you! I am going to make you Concubine Chen, do you like it?"

"Concubine Chen?" Shen Ruochen was shocked, "How can this be possible?"

"What's wrong with this! After the Jin Dynasty is granted, you can move to the main hall to save this house from being cold in winter and hot in summer." Emperor Yuande looked around the house, "You have a simple temperament and simple furnishings. Move here There isn’t enough space in the main hall, but it’s fine. If you like anything then, ask them to bring it to you.”

After Emperor Yuande finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ruochen, "Why don't you speak? Don't you like it?"
