Hehe, the mischievous Chen Yuwei grabbed Hongli and wouldn't let him leave.

Anyway, holding it in won't hurt.

Besides, if we delay any longer, Hongli might perform even better in the future.

Chen Yuwei had some improper thoughts on her mind. She pretended not to notice Hongli's anxious expression and instead smiled and continued chatting with him.

Whether it's the concubines in the imperial harem or her children, Chen Yuwei can talk about them with great enthusiasm.

But as Chen Yuwei was talking, her legs kept moving around restlessly.

Once this happens, certain parts of the two people will inevitably come into close contact.

Hongli couldn't help but hiss, wrapping his arms around Chen Yuwei's slender waist. "Wei'er, don't be silly."

The voice sounded even deeper than before.

Chen Yuwei's cheeks flushed crimson. She parted her cherry lips and murmured, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean it." She had only intended to do it, but she didn't expect you to be so easily provoked.

Hongli reached out and touched Chen Yuwei's cheek, his eyes filled with a fierce intensity.

"I trust Wei'er, but it's getting late. We can talk about it in bed."

Chen Yuwei: ...Tch, what do you mean by that in bed?

Before Chen Yuwei could react, her gaze had already shifted repeatedly.

Hongli lifted Chen Yuwei up in a princess carry, from under her arms and between her legs, causing the tassels hanging down from her hair bun to sway.

Ouch

She hadn't removed her makeup yet, even though she had applied it lightly today.

"Your Majesty, we haven't..."

"Wei'er, don't rush, let's talk first..."

"Hmm, Your Majesty..."

The bed began to shake, and the bed curtains fell down, making the previously clear sound intermittent.

An ambiguous atmosphere spread from the bed to the entire room, making one's hands and legs feel numb and weak.

Lying flat on the soft bed, with blankets beneath her, Chen Yuwei looked up at the dim ceiling, her lips slightly parted, breathing in and out.

The intense stimulation rendered Chen Yuwei unable to speak; she closed her eyes slightly and drifted along with the person on top of her.

...

At the doorway, Wu Shulai and Xia He exchanged a smile.

The two were no longer the same as before. As people who had seen all kinds of things, they could maintain an unflappable expression even if something was about to happen.

"Eunuch Wu, I have prepared some food in the side hall."

"You must be tired from your journey, sir. I'll leave this place to you for now. Please go and rest."

Xia He finished speaking with a smile, and then pointed to the closed door not far away.

Wu Shulai nodded upon hearing this, "In that case, we'll trouble Miss Xiahe here."

"His Majesty and the Empress will probably be finished a while longer; please have warm water prepared then."

Wu Shulai preferred to sit down and rest in the side hall rather than stand at the door late at night.

Besides, he spent the whole day with the Emperor and didn't eat a single thing.

hiss

His stomach is still aching and churning with acid reflux.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The warm water has been prepared long ago. We are just waiting for His Majesty and His Highness to give the order. Please go quickly."

Xia He had her back to the closed door, ignoring the sounds around her.

Wu Shulai left with a smile, which was his usual routine every time he came to Yikun Palace.

Men's attraction to women is manifested in certain behaviors.

This is also why Wu Shulai had a close relationship with Yikun Palace.

If it were any other palace, Wu Shulai might have declined, but at Yikun Palace, everyone is an old acquaintance, so there's no need to be so polite.

Xia He stood there watching Wu Shulai leave, then turned around and looked back at him again.

Even after all this time, the sounds coming from the room haven't stopped.

Xia He's thoughts began to wander uncontrollably. It seemed she would have to give the people of Yikun Palace a good talking-to tomorrow morning, telling them not to spread rumors outside.

The mistress is a Noble Consort, and her reputation is very important. Even the slightest thing that gets out might cause unrest in other areas.

Why

Is this not the downside of being favored by one's master? It's a skill that's truly enviable.

The moon sets and the sun rises; another night has passed.

Chen Yuwei opened her eyes groggily and saw that the dimly lit inner room was now brightly lit.

Bright sunlight streamed through the windows, creating several beautiful Tyndall effect beams.

With a delicate yawn, Chen Yuwei got up, dressed, and slowly put on her shoes and socks before getting out of bed.

"Your Majesty, you're awake."

At the door, Xia He, who had heard the commotion, entered and greeted her with a smile.

Chen Yuwei gave a lazy "hmm," reached out and touched her now-loose hair, then turned and sat down in front of the dressing table to remove the remaining hairpins.

"When did the Emperor leave? Did he leave any message?"

Xia He handed the medicine to Chen Yuwei and whispered a few words in reply.

Chen Yuwei's eyes brightened. She picked up the medicine and drank it, while wiping her lips with a handkerchief. "Since you've given me something, let's stick to the old rules: take out what's useful and save what's not."

These days, Yikun Palace might just be about to experience a bountiful harvest.

After all, the Emperor doted on her, and the best way to show his affection was through the various rewards he sent.

Anyway, the Emperor's private treasury is full of treasures. Every year, vassal states and officials from all sides send a large number of treasures. If Chen Yuwei doesn't take the opportunity to grab some and increase the value of her Yikun Palace, it would be a waste of her sacrifice for the Emperor, although Chen Yuwei doesn't think that staying in the palace is a sacrifice.

Xia He nodded in agreement, and then reached out to fix Chen Yuwei's hair and makeup.

Chen Yuwei is not going out today, but she still needs to put on her makeup and styling.
