Chapter 267 A Woman as Beautiful as Jade
"Your Majesty, no! Princess!" Granny Su exclaimed in alarm, waving her hands hastily. She had served in the palace for over twenty years and had never seen a master apologize to a servant.
"Granny Su, don't be afraid! Since the Empress sent you here to educate Xiaoman, you must be a capable person. Seeing how strictly you discipline her now, I am only pleased," Shen Lian said, waving his hand.
"Granny, I'm sorry!" Shen Xiaoman walked up to Granny Su and bowed.
"Your Highness, you're making me so ashamed!" Granny Su quickly reached out to help Shen Xiaoman up.
"Hmm! Very good! Come here, Granny Su has done a good job in teaching the princess, so here's a reward of fifty taels of silver!" Shen Lian nodded and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Granny Su hurriedly knelt down to express her gratitude.
"Get up!" Shen Lian waved his hand.
Xiao Yue'er, who was standing next to her, also breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that Shen Lian would punish Granny Su and had even wanted to plead for her!
She was afraid that her daughter would become spoiled and unruly because she was too pampered, so she strongly supported Su Mama's strict education.
"All of you, step back!" Shen Lian waved away the bystanders. Granny Su also led Shen Xiaoman away.
"Your Highness, please give me some food! I'm still hungry!" With no outsiders around, Shen Lian began to reveal his true nature.
"Isn't His Majesty hosting a banquet for the experts from the Academy of Sciences? What's wrong? Don't you like the food today?" Xiao Yue'er rolled her eyes at her husband.
The two were the first to consummate their marriage, and Xiao Yue'er had served Shen Lian closely for a long time. Of course, she knew Shen Lian's temperament well.
What made her happy was that even after Shen Lian became emperor, he was still able to maintain his original personality.
"Hey! Stop talking, the food is certainly very plentiful. But I can't eat and drink like this in front of so many people!"
"Being an emperor is tough!" Shen Lian sighed.
"Your Majesty, please have some snacks to fill your stomach. I will immediately instruct the kitchen to prepare a meal!" Xiao Yue'er instructed the palace maids to bring out some pastries and then ordered the kitchen to start cooking immediately.
These concubines also had their own small kitchens in their palaces, where they cooked for themselves on a daily basis.
"Just a few simple dishes will do, let's have a drink. It seems like it's been a long time since we had a drink together," Shen Lian nodded.
Before long, four dishes and a soup were ready. Shen Lian usually ate four or five dishes with his meals. Although he didn't ask for them, the women in the harem obviously followed suit.
Shen Lian was indeed hungry. He had only drunk a few cups of wine at the banquet earlier, and his stomach had been empty ever since!
Shen Lian ate two bowls of rice first, and only after his stomach was half full did he raise his wine glass.
"Come, Your Majesty, I toast you!" Shen Lian said with a wicked smile.
For some reason, calling his woman "Your Majesty" aroused Shen Lian even more.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Yue'er glanced shyly at Shen Lian. She knew that every time Shen Lian called her "Your Majesty" with a strange laugh, he was up to no good.
After downing a cup of rice wine, a blush rose to Xiao Yue'er's cheeks. Even after having two children, she still possessed a shy and charming demeanor, making Shen Lian's heart itch with desire.
Because the fire wall was burning, the house was quite warm. Xiao Yue'er was only wearing a moon-white gauze dress, with a bright red strapless top underneath, revealing a large expanse of her fair skin and long neck.
Of Shen Lian's three women, Xiao Yue'er already had the best figure. After having two children, her figure became even more rounded, making Shen Lian even more infatuated with her.
Twenty-four or twenty-five years old is a woman's prime. What man could resist a woman with such a stunning figure and a touch of girlish shyness?
"You pervert!" Seeing Shen Lian staring intently at her ample bosom, Xiao Yue'er blushed and spat lightly.
"It seems the food in the palace is quite good! Your Majesty is becoming even more fair and graceful!" Shen Lian reached out and pulled Xiao Yue'er to sit on his lap.
"Ah! Your Majesty!" Xiao Yue'er exclaimed softly.
Upon seeing this, the serving maids and eunuchs quickly withdrew. Shen Lian had never liked having other people present when he was doing business.
"Your Majesty, please grant me a cup of wine!" Shen Lian said in Xiao Yue'er's ear while groping her.
Xiao Yue'er glanced around and saw that the palace maids and eunuchs had indeed all left. She bit her lip, picked up a cup of wine and drank it down, then lowered her head, closed her eyes, and leaned closer.
