The days Chu Qianli slept, she didn't know if the Emperor had truly visited her.
However, an hour later, Chu Qianli was indeed dressed and sent to Longyang Hall by the Empress Dowager.
Longyang Hall was the Emperor's sleeping quarters.
As the Empress Dowager led her over, she was still a little worried.
"Little Li'er, how are you feeling? Do you want to sit down and rest for a while?"
"Little Li'er, do you still feel dizzy? Shall I help you walk?"
"Little Li'er..."
Her attitude was as if she were treating a treasure held in her palm.
When did she become so precious?
Chu Qianli was full of doubts.
Finally, they arrived at Longyang Hall.
Chu Jiangnan was still reviewing memorials, appearing very busy.
If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's personal visit, he probably wouldn't have seen anyone else.
Chu Qianli noticed that the tip of Chu Jiangnan's brush still had wet ink, clearly indicating he had been busy.
Seeing the legendary ruler of Nanming Kingdom for the second time, that inexplicable flutter in her heart still arose.
But compared to the last time, she was much calmer.
This time, she shouldn't faint again, right?
Like Chu Qianli, Chu Jiangnan's shock was gone when he saw her this time.
The Empress Dowager kept watching Chu Jiangnan's expression, but unfortunately, her son had always hidden his emotions too deeply.
Even as his mother, she had no idea what her son was thinking.
However, there was one thing she could be sure of: the Emperor showed no aversion to Chu Qianli.
In fact, when he saw her, there was a hint of unusual light in his eyes.
Now, it was definitely certain.
At least, her son had truly noticed Little Li'er.
"Little Li'er, you've met the Emperor, why don't you greet him?" the Empress Dowager reminded her.
Although Chu Qianli was a prince of Longteng Kingdom, a prince was always lower than an Emperor, so a greeting was appropriate.
Chu Qianli then remembered and quickly bowed her head to greet him, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Chu Jiangnan's hand still held the brush, but he treated the Empress Dowager very well.
"Mother, please sit."
"Little Li'er just woke up, shouldn't Your Majesty let her sit down and rest first?" The Empress Dowager was now protecting Chu Qianli in every way.
Chu Jiangnan's gaze fell on Chu Qianli again.
She was still as stunningly beautiful as ever, yet you couldn't feel any hint of seductiveness.
She was a naturally beautiful woman, without any makeup on her face now, unlike that night. She looked fresh and natural.
Even more clean and refreshing.
For a moment, Chu Jiangnan was lost in thought.
His gaze was fixed on Chu Qianli, unable to retract.
The more the Empress Dowager watched, the more delighted she became!
This time, it was finally going to work out, wasn't it!
"Little Li'er is frail, Your Majesty, you must take good care of her. I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave."
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiangnan immediately stood up and personally escorted the Empress Dowager out.
Chu Qianli's brow had been slightly furrowed, and now she finally understood the Empress Dowager's intentions.
Why the sudden 180-degree change in her attitude? It turned out she thought the Emperor was interested in her.
For a mother who longed for her son to choose a consort, the appearance of such a woman was like a savior sent from heaven.
No wonder she had suddenly become so caring and enthusiastic towards her.
However, Chu Qianli clearly felt that Chu Jiangnan's gaze towards her was not right.
After seeing the Empress Dowager off, Chu Jiangnan quickly returned to his sleeping quarters.
This time, with no one else around, his gaze fell directly on Chu Qianli: "Do you want to be the only concubine in my harem?"
