The emperor's hand only rubbed it for a short while and then put it down.
In fact, I wanted him to continue touching my head, but I was afraid that he would reject me, so I had no choice but to remain silent. I heard the emperor ask me: "How old are you this year?" His voice, like his person, was so gentle that I couldn't help but get close to him, but I didn't dare to get too close.
"Sixteen years old."
I stood upright and answered his questions seriously, thinking to myself that the emperor is only four years older than me.
The emperor said "hmm" softly and stopped talking. He seemed to be thinking about something. I couldn't bother him loudly, but I felt that the opportunity to see him was really rare. I hesitated whether to say something, but before I could think about it, someone came over.
I know this person, he is the emperor's chief steward, Su Zhongguan. He was the one who ordered Liang Fei's medicine to be thrown away.
It looked really fierce... I closed my mouth tightly and didn't want to chat with the emperor.
Su Zhongguan came over and saluted. He still had a straight face and his expression did not change when facing the emperor, but his tone was very respectful: "Your Majesty, Yu Shi has left."
Then she leaned towards me and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Shu."
Actually...it's not as cruel as the palace maids said. I can feel that he has no ill intentions towards me.
The emperor nodded, and I was thinking, is he leaving?
He was indeed leaving.
Su Zhongguan put a large cloak on the emperor.
"It's windy in the Royal Garden. Don't catch a cold. Just go back after playing the keys."
The emperor saw the key in my hand, so before leaving he told me to return to Bailu Terrace quickly. I felt hot in my heart and couldn't help but cheer: "Don't worry, my health is getting better and I haven't been sick in two years!"
In fact, it is an exaggeration. I have had a few minor illnesses, but they are nothing. I have grown up smoothly despite the difficult circumstances in the past, not to mention that I have lived a happy life since entering the palace. Cardamom has taken good care of me. I haven't even had a cold in the past two years. Saying that I am in good health right now is not a lie to make him happy.
I was happy that he cared about me, but I also felt that time passed too quickly. I just said a few words to him, and then Su Zhongguan came.
The emperor was very busy and couldn't stop him from leaving, so I could only watch him smile at me and walk past me.
I don't know when it will be the next time I see him. There are still many things I haven't said to him. Seizing the last chance, I turned around and called him: "Your Majesty!"
He turned around, somewhat confused.
"Can we meet again?" I looked at him eagerly, expecting him to nod.
But the emperor didn't nod. He just gave me a gentle smile, then turned and left. This time he didn't look back, he really left.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't disappointed, but I didn't feel sad for too long. After all, the emperor loves to revise memorials the most, and he is very busy.
I'm also used to not seeing him for a long time.
