He is not angry at all!
Really.
He’s said before that he would be willing to give his all for Your Majesty, especially when it’s just a matter of discussing dical books.
His Majesty truly is a studious person.
With such an excellent and studious monarch, of course he must accommodate her, cooperate with her, and assist her.
"You’ve been too cold for too long just now, I’ve asked soone to brew so ginger tea for you to prevent illness." Upon returning to the sleeping quarters, Qiann Yan instructed the palace attendant to prepare ginger tea and Awakening Tea.
The palace attendants had already moved the dical books that Qiann Yan had been reading recently to the table, and the two sat side by side. The palace attendants were accustod to Xun Zihuai’s special status and found nothing unusual about it. Everyone knew about Qiann Yan’s interest in dical books.
That night, Xun Zihuai explained all the issues with the dical books that had been left unresolved in the past few months to Qiann Yan.
As the ti for court was nearing, even after having the Awakening Tea, Xun Zihuai was still very tired, struggling to keep his eyes open, his head spinning a little. Having a naturally weak constitution, coupled with the cold he experienced last night, even though he didn’t fall sick thanks to good precautions, he was still worn out.
"You needn’t attend court today."
"There isn’t much going on recently."
Qiann Yan closed the dical book, looking invigorated and nothing like soone who had stayed up all night, which stirred a bit of frustration in Xun Zihuai. How could he appear so fragile in front of His Majesty?
"Let the palace attendants help National Master Fu to the small couch to rest; traveling back and forth to the Star-picking Tower is not good."
Xun Zihuai wanted to decline, but his head was dizzy, indeed too fatigued. He could only be helped by the palace attendants to the small couch. Well, this was His Majesty’s kind gesture, he might as well rest. Rejuvenate to assist His Majesty more effectively.
Thinking of this, Xun Zihuai very comfortably lay down on the small couch, letting the palace attendants cover him with a blanket and drifted into a deep sleep. In a daze, he heard Qiann Yan’s voice drifting back from afar: "Rember to brew ginger tea and have National Master drink it upon waking."
"His frail physique really cannot withstand much."
Xun Zihuai felt very satisfied, though His Majesty had no other intentions for him, yet he held a very important place in her heart. These words floating around wouldn’t bother him at all even if overheard by the unknowing.
At court, the ministers were quite puzzled why Xun Zihuai hadn’t appeared today, as he never missed a session.
Qiann Yan noticed their confusion and said, "The National Master has a weak constitution and was too exhausted from staying up last night, currently resting."
Ministers: ???
Your Majesty, what does this an?
"Alright, speak up if you have any matters to discuss."
The ministers kept their heads down; Qiann Yan didn’t see that their minds were filled with huge curiosity, eager to know what happened last night.
Rumor had it that the National Master is not only handso but also possesses profound wisdom, having contributed endlessly to Yaan Country. If His Majesty favored the National Master, they would be very supportive. With a face like that, if he ventured outside, he would captivate countless won. Such an outstanding man deserves to belong to His Majesty.
"None of you has anything to present?" Qiann Yan looked at the dazed ministers, wondering what’s on this group’s minds. Almost every morning she had to listen to their debates; today was indeed strange.
"I have a matter to present."
Curious as they might be, proper business still had to be conducted.
Seeing the ministers reverting to normalcy, Qiann Yan didn’t mind and listened earnestly...
After court, Qiann Yan routinely went to see the two children, accompanying them for a al. On the way, she inquired about Xun Zihuai’s status and learned he was still asleep, then instructed, "Today’s lessons for the children are canceled; when National Master wakes, have him rest well."
"Understood, Your Majesty."
During breakfast, without seeing Xun Zihuai, Yun Wenqian was the first to ask, "Mother Empress, why haven’t we seen the teacher?"
"He’s still asleep."
Yun Wenqian: ?!
"His body is weak; he stayed up last night and is too tired."
Yun Wenqian: !!!
