Chapter 34: If I Enter the Palace, I Might See My Ninth Imperial Uncle!
"No one is to look for a spiritualist! Otherwise, I won"t let you off!" Su Baohua said in an especially arrogant tone to the maid who was about to hire a spiritualist.
The maid immediately stopped and looked at Su Baohua as if she had seen a ghost.
Su Baohua"s eyes were even more frightened.
What she had just said was not her intention at all.
But for some reason, her body was out of control, including the expression on her face.
This feeling was too terrifying.
Having suffered too much shock in the early morning, Su Baohua"s eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Shen Yaowei saw Su Baohua faint in the mirror and smacked her lips in boredom.
Su Baohua was really too weak!
"Miss…" Zi Yun"s voice happened to sound outside the door.
Shen Yaowei quickly put the mirror and puppet away in the secret compartment of the bedside table. Then, she pulled a blanket from the side and wrapped herself in it.
Zi Yun pushed open the door and walked in. When she saw a round b.u.mp on the bed, she shook her head helplessly. "Miss, the sun is shining on your b.u.t.t. You should get up."
Shen Yaowei poked her head out of the blanket and looked at Zi Yun with big dark eyes. "Zi Yun, I don"t want to get up yet."
Knowing that Shen Yaowei had the habit of lazing in bed, Zi Yun slowly walked to the bed and said with a smile, "My lady, there"s news from the palace this morning. The Emperor wants you to enter the palace."
Shen Yaowei was not surprised.
In her previous life, Huo Yuntian had also doted on her more.
This was also one of the reasons why Huo Zhao wanted to marry her.
However, now that she thought about it soberly, she was curious why Huo Yuntian doted on her so much.
"If you really don"t want to go, I"ll send someone to the palace to reply and say that you"re not feeling well." Zi Yun looked at Shen Yaowei with affection.
Previously, when her lady did not want to enter the palace, she had used such a reason. The Emperor had also accepted it.
That was enough to see how much the Emperor doted on her lady.
"No, I want to enter the palace. Zi Yun, help me find my best dress!" Shen Yaowei said with bright eyes.
If she entered the palace, she might see her Ninth Imperial Uncle!
Yesterday, Zi Yun had told her that the Ninth Imperial Uncle had accepted the sachet. She wanted to see if the Ninth Imperial Uncle had it with him!
…
Imperial Palace.
The gorgeous hall was like a heavenly palace, exuding the luxurious dignity of an imperial family.
Huo Yuntian had summoned Shen Yaowei to the palace so early to ask her to accompany him for breakfast.
The breakfast was very sumptuous and filled the table.
Huo Yuntian sat opposite Shen Yaowei and watched as the girl picked up a crystal dumpling with her chopsticks and took a small bite. She ate it without interest and could not help but look puzzled.
He liked to watch Shen Yaowei eat very much and felt that it would stimulate his appet.i.te, so he often let her enter the palace to accompany him for a meal.
But now, Shen Yaowei looked clearly distracted and had no appet.i.te.
"Ahem… Yaoyao, is today"s breakfast not to your liking?" Huo Yuntian asked.
Shen Yaowei suddenly sat up straight and shook her head with a smile. "Your Majesty, today"s breakfast is as delicious as ever. It suits my taste buds very well."
She was just wondering if her Ninth Imperial Uncle had eaten breakfast at this time.
"Then are you unhappy? Is it because it"s your mother"s death anniversary in a few days? Do you miss your mother?" Huo Yuntian"s tone was exceptionally gentle at the end.
At the mention of her mother, who had pa.s.sed away early, the smile on Shen Yaowei"s face faded a lot. "I even dreamed of her a few days ago."
An imperceptible nostalgia flashed across Huo Yuntian"s eyes. He smiled and said, "Yaoyao, tell me about your dream."
