Chapter 163 needs to be memorized!
Li Yuanke strode over, took her hand, and said, "Why are you so cold? What are you doing admiring the snow scene? Are you out of your mind?"
He pulled her along and started walking back.
Shen Shixi took two steps and then became unhappy.
Squatting on the ground, he shook Li Yuanke's hand and said miserably, "Brother Yuanke, you have to carry me!"
This was when I was a child.
Li Yuanke laughed, "Look how far it is from here back to Zhaoyang Palace! How much are you wearing? Trying to exhaust me?"
"No, I want to be carried. You used to carry me all the time, fine, now that you have me, you don't care about me anymore, you're so heartless..."
Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered.
He couldn't stand those words, and Shen Shixi knew he couldn't stand them either, so she would say them on purpose every time.
Li Yuanke took off his cloak and threw it to Li Fude, then squatted down in front of Shen Shixi.
Shen Shixi got her wish and climbed onto his back. When Li Yuanke stood up while carrying her, he swayed, which made Li Fude so nervous that he almost knelt down and quickly came over to help him up.
"Get out of here!"
Shen Shixi laughed and said, "Are you sure you can handle it? If not, I'll get down and walk myself. Oh dear, don't tire out our Emperor..."
"Shut up!"
Li Yuanke wasn't actually that incapacitated; the main problem was that both of them were dressed too warmly, like two bears huddled together, making movement extremely inconvenient.
He can hold Shen Shixi and bounce around while they're doing it, so how could he not carry her on his back?
Shen Shixi didn't get off the bus the whole way; her little feet dangled around. The road was icy, and her dangling feet caused Li Yuanke's body to sway as well, almost causing them both to fall.
Li Fude and Chao En stretched out their arms to protect Shen Shixi, wishing they could kneel down and kowtow to her.
"You're still wobbling! You'll fall and hurt yourself, but don't cry!"
It shouldn't hurt, since you're wearing so many layers.
But if the Emperor were to fall while carrying Consort Chen back to the palace, that would be a major incident in itself.
Shen Shixi had no choice but to obediently lie on his back, breathing into his ear, "Brother Yuan Ke, you're so amazing! You're so incredible, you can still carry me! I thought you couldn't even carry me anymore!"
"Well, I'm already in my seventies or eighties. Besides, I'd just leave you behind!"
Carrying such a heavy person and walking such a long distance, it's impossible not to be tired.
But to say that he was too tired to walk wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Upon arriving at Zhaoyang Palace, Li Yuanke released his hands, causing Shen Shixi to fall freely. However, her hands remained wrapped around Li Yuanke's neck, causing him to be choked backward and nearly suffocate.
Li Fude hurriedly helped the emperor up, "Oh dear, Consort Chen, let go! Don't strangle the Emperor!"
Li Yuanke felt as if his throat was about to break.
Shen Shixi quickly released her grip, also quite angry. "You put me down without even telling me?"
Li Yuanke touched his Adam's apple, so angry he couldn't speak. "You bastard, are you trying to murder your husband? You almost strangled me to death!"
The two of them exchanged insults as they walked into the palace.
Li Yuanke sat down and realized how exhausted he was. Bai Ping and the others were a little slow in serving tea, so he yelled, "Where are they? Don't they know to serve tea?"
Bai Kui hurriedly brought over the tea. He took a sip and yelped, "Ouch, it's scalding hot!" He was furious. "How can you serve me like this? The tea is so hot, how can I drink it?"
This is the usual water temperature; I dare not argue.
Bai Kui knelt on the ground with a thud, terrified out of her wits. "Your Majesty, spare my life! This servant deserves to die!"
Shen Shixi waved for her to get down, then sat on his lap, stroked his neck, and nibbled twice on his Adam's apple. "Why are you angry? I just asked you to carry me back. I mainly wanted to see if you're still as good to me as before."
Li Yuanke sneered, "You still know I've been good to you? You heartless bastard, I thought your heart was made of stone."
Shen Shixi leaned on his shoulder, "Look at what you're saying, everyone's made of flesh and blood! By the way, what were you doing in the Imperial Garden? Did I ruin your plans with someone?"
Li Yuanke originally went to find her.
Li Yuanke was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. He wanted to push her off, but she clung to him, and he couldn't throw her away. He was too lazy to pay attention to her, and when he got hungry, he ordered the food to be served.
The emperor carried someone back from the imperial garden in a ostentatious display, and soon everyone in the palace knew about it.
The empress listened in silence for a long time.
Consort De was drinking her medicine to prevent miscarriage when she laughed and said, "I've heard before that Lady Shen always follows the Emperor around. When she can't walk anymore and doesn't want to walk anymore, she refuses to be carried by anyone else and is always carried by the Emperor. I thought it was just a joke."
I didn't expect it to be true.
This is such a pampering!
In this freezing weather, the clothes a person is wearing must weigh over ten kilograms. The Emperor has never treated his princes and princesses like this, yet Shen Shi was raised as if she were his adopted daughter.
Now that she's in the palace and has become his woman, he still dotes on her like this.
She's pregnant now, due in February, and too lazy to care about anything else. She simply said, "Go see the First Prince and bring him back!"
The eldest prince went to the Empress Dowager's palace to pay New Year's respects yesterday and ate a kind of pastry there. It was made by Consort Chen and was called chiffon cake. He liked it, so he went there again today.
Now that he's in this state, Consort De is heartbroken and wishes she could give her son all the good things in the world. How could she not spoil him?
Ping Meiren was the one who personally witnessed Li Yuanke carrying Shen Shixi on his back.
She stood there in the wind, lost in thought, even after everyone had walked away.
Because she was certain that Li Yuanke had seen her, but he didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye, as if he saw nothing at all. He only had eyes for Shen Shixi, and obediently squatted down in front of Shen Shixi.
He was the emperor, the supreme ruler of the land!
The key point is that this emperor was also a very handsome man, with both good looks and a great physique. While he could be described as cold and ruthless, he could spoil a woman to the extreme.
Even the most ordinary man in the world wouldn't coax a woman like that.
This is a patriarchal society where women are expected to be gentle, virtuous, and subservient to men.
Who wouldn't be jealous!
Everyone calls Shen Shixi a vixen, but who wouldn't want to be the one who can bewitch the emperor?
Ping Meiren was furious. She turned around and kicked a pebble on the ground.
The main reason was that she didn't dare kick Shen Shixi from behind, for fear that people would say she was a tyrant.
They didn't dare to murder the emperor, but ended up smashing the prince's body.
A pebble flew up and hit the eldest prince on the head, causing him to howl in pain.
The eldest prince has become much slower to react, but he is not a complete fool. His temper is also very uncontrollable now. If he sees someone daring to hit him, he will rush up and give Consort Ping a headbutt.
Caught off guard, Yang Tingyue fell to the ground.
The eldest prince also pounced on her, silently raising his fist to hit her.
Yang Tingyue was beaten several times. She was by no means a good-tempered person. She kicked the eldest prince away. The eldest prince rolled twice on the ground and hit his head on a large rock next to him, bleeding profusely.
All of this happened so suddenly that the people around the Crown Prince didn't even have time to react before the battle was over.
The wet nurse let out a wailing cry, rushed over, picked up the eldest prince, and cried out, "Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up!"
When Shen Shixi and Li Yuanke arrived, the eldest prince had already been settled in Consort De's palace. Consort Ping was kneeling in the hall, and the imperial physician was treating the eldest prince and bandaging his wounds.
The wound wasn't actually deep, but the bleeding was difficult to stop.
The imperial physicians had no confidence at all. Zhang, the chief physician, said, "The Crown Prince's body is already very weak. Although the wound is not very deep, the Crown Prince cannot withstand this. If everything goes smoothly tonight, it will be fine, but if he develops a fever, it will be very dangerous."
In modern terms, the eldest prince's immune system had long been damaged, and there were no antibiotics available. Once the wound became infected, there was no hope of recovery.
That night, the eldest prince developed a fever.
