Upon hearing Yu Jingchen's words, Nan Zhiyun blushed instantly. How improper...

"Hmm? Why isn't Yun'er saying anything? Do you want to check it yourself?" Yu Jingchen said, pulling Nan Zhiyun's hand to his waist, and with his other hand, he let down the bed curtains, covering the boundless spring scenery inside.

The next day

Yunpeng Palace

All the concubines came over to pay their respects, but two were missing: Bai Yusheng, Bai Jieyu, and Nan Zhiyun, who had just been promoted.

"It's one thing for Consort Shu not to come; after all, she's a heavy sleeper, which is to be expected. But Consort Bai has only just entered the palace and she hasn't even come to pay her respects. Doesn't she have any manners at all? Isn't she showing a blatant disrespect to the Noble Consort?" Well, it's that fearless Consort Xian again.

"Consort Bai served the Emperor yesterday, and she must be exhausted, which is why she didn't come today." This time, it was Consort Yuan, who rarely spoke, who spoke gently, seemingly to support Bai Yusheng.

"I heard he can't even stand up anymore. He's used to these kinds of tricks, a shameless scoundrel who doesn't know any manners or morality." Yu Yan's eyes were full of disgust.

"Consort Jing, be careful what you say!" Consort Yan warned Yu Yan. Yu Yan moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing.

Consort Yan glanced down at the crowd before speaking slowly, "The spring hunt is in half a month. Instead of talking nonsense here, we should prepare for it properly."

"Yes," the person below respectfully replied.

Spring hunting... This is a great opportunity, and both newcomers and veterans have already made plans.

After the morning court session, Yu Jingchen went to He'an Hall as expected. Nan Zhiyun had just woken up and finished her breakfast. Now that the weather is warming up, Nan Zhiyun is not as afraid of the cold as before.

She's sitting on the swing outside right now, holding her bell. The sun was out for a while today, and the sunlight felt warm and comfortable on her skin.

Especially Lingdang, who was curled up on Nan Zhiyun's lap and fell asleep, even snoring, looking incredibly lazy.

As soon as Yu Jingchen entered, he saw the two sitting there, a man and a cat. He felt a little embarrassed, but wasn't this silly cat being a little too comfortable?

"Your Majesty!" Nan Zhiyun saw Yu Jingchen coming from afar. Now she didn't care about etiquette as much as before.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Yu Jingchen's lips curved slightly. He couldn't resist last night, so he took it several times, which made Nan Zhiyun cry uncontrollably.

Nan Zhiyun blushed slightly and shook her head: "It's nothing..."

Yu Jingchen walked over to Nan Zhiyun from behind and gently pushed the swing up for her. Startled, Lingdang jumped off Nan Zhiyun. Jiang Ji picked Lingdang up and then stepped back.

"If you feel unwell, let the imperial physician take a look," Yu Jingchen said gently.

Nan Zhiyun turned to look at Yu Jingchen: "No need, I'm fine." Nan Zhiyun's eyebrows curved slightly, and Yu Jingchen's heart itched. He kissed Nan Zhiyun, who was stunned.

The little girl sat on the swing and gently turned her head. Yu Jingchen bent down slightly, lowered his head and kissed the little girl's lips. The sunlight fell, and the scene was infinitely tender.

After a brief exchange, Yu Jingchen quickly released Nan Zhiyun. The girl's cheeks flushed pink, and her lips were rosy, making her look incredibly endearing. He found it somewhat amusing to see her bewildered expression.

"What a lovely little girl." Yu Jingchen gently flicked Nan Zhiyun's nose.
