Chapter 128 Only Sincerity

Pei Tingyue changed into a comfortable position, nestled in his arms and whispered, "Don't treat me like that anymore, okay?"

Xie Chen's heart trembled.

He held her tighter, as if he wanted to melt her into his bones and blood.

"No."

Pei Tingyue played with his fingers, which were as beautiful and clean as Hsinchu's, and said in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty doesn't know how long I have been crying in the palace. Not only can I not eat, but I can't even rest peacefully at night."

"Yeah." Xie Chen lowered his eyes, a flash of pain passing away, "It's my fault."

Pei Tingyue took his hand and gently bit the back of Leng Bai's hand, "Let the past be the past. From now on, Your Majesty must love me well, understand?"

Xie Chen leaned over and kissed her, then promised, "From now on, I will only be sincere to Tingyue, not exploit her."

Pei Tingyue smiled faintly and stretched out her arms for him to hold. "Go take a shower."

The two of them played around for an hour and were all sweaty. It would be uncomfortable to fall asleep directly, so they decided to take a shower to feel more comfortable.

Xie Chen picked the person up and went to the side hall, where he quickly bathed her.

Seeing the soft pillows in the middle of the bed, Xie Chen paused for a moment, then asked the palace servants to take them away.

After sleeping alone for so many nights, tonight I can finally sleep with my beauty in my arms. These things don’t need to get in the way.

After cleaning up, the two of them lay down in the quilt.

Xie Chen tucked her hair and said, "Can you stay for two more days and then go back to the palace?"

Pei Tingyue disagreed at first because she missed the imperial concubine and Tuan Tuan a little. Later, she couldn't stand the man's nagging anymore and was sleepy, so she agreed in a daze.

For the next two days, except for attending court, the two were inseparable.

The person who was most happy about the reconciliation between the emperor and his concubine was Liang Yao.

That's good.

The job is easy now. He doesn't have to stay up late at night. He can also ask for rewards when the emperor is in a good mood.

This day.

While the emperor was attending court, Pei Tingyue quickly ordered people to pack up and leave Chengming Palace.

If she waited for the emperor to come back, she would definitely be allowed to stay for a few more days, or she would leave him while he was away.

Pei Tingyue stayed to take care of the sick for more than ten days. The snow in the palace had melted long ago, leaving only some ice chips piled in the corners of the palace.

Without the snow, the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair were very efficient and the group quickly returned to Changle Palace.

When the palace maids in the back hall saw her come back, they hurried to put her things in order. After they were done, they all knelt down to pay their respects to Pei Tingyue and congratulated her on becoming Empress Zhaoyi.

Pei Tingyue smiled and asked them to stand up: "After the enthronement ceremony, everyone will be rewarded."

Several people hurriedly expressed their gratitude, their eyes and brows showing joy.

Liang An and Liang Fu were fine, but the emotions of the four little palace maids, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, were very obvious.

During these few months of serving my master, I have received rewards many times. This is pure silver. Who wouldn’t like it?

The most important thing is that when their master is favored, they, as servants, can also have face. Now in the palace, except for Fenghe Palace, their Changle Palace has the most face. Whenever they go out to do something, there are always people fawning over them.

Pei Tingyue saw their joyful expressions. She was thinking about asking Yunshu to teach them a lesson at night so that they wouldn't get too cocky.

After resting for a while, Pei Tingyue took out the sachet she had embroidered for the imperial concubine. She had embroidered it very simply, using sky-blue material with the outline of a cat embroidered on it. It was a sachet.

But the thing inside was not simple. She specially asked someone to go to the Imperial Household Department to find the schizonepeta tenuifolia, which was later commonly known as catnip.

With this thing, I'm afraid Tuan Tuan will never refuse the Imperial Concubine again. The Imperial Concubine is so good to her, she has no other way to repay her, and this is the only way she can help.

Pei Tingyue took the sachet to the front hall.

Concubine Song was lying on the couch reading a storybook with such great interest that she didn't even notice someone coming.

Pei Tingyue wanted to scare her, but before his hand could touch her shoulder, it was twisted away.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."

Hearing the familiar voice, Concubine Song was startled and quickly let go of the white wrist in her hand, "I thought it was Bai Shuang!"

Pei Tingyue's wrist was red. Actually, it was only painful at the beginning and she didn't feel anything now. It was just that her skin was tender, so a little force would leave a mark.

"My lady, I am fine."

However, Concubine Song turned a deaf ear to her and anxiously asked the palace maid to find some ointment.

"Your Majesty, I'm not that delicate." Pei Tingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly found the sky-blue sachet, "This is for Your Majesty."

Concubine Song took it and looked at it carefully: "Is this Tuan Tuan?"

"yes."

Concubine Song immediately hung it around her waist and said happily, "I will wear it every day."

Pei Tingyue looked around the hall but didn't see Tuantuan. She assumed he was sleeping in a side hall, so she ordered a palace attendant, "Bring Tuantuan here."

Concubine Song snorted, "Why let that rebellious son come over?"

Pei Tingyue blinked: "There's a surprise!"

Concubine Song raised her eyebrows: "Really? What surprise?"

"You'll know when Tuantuan comes."

After a while, the palace maid from the front hall came carrying Tuan Tuan.

Why do we say "lift" instead of "hold"? It's because Tuantuan didn't allow anyone to hold him, so the palace maids could only carry him and bring him to a small nest made of bamboo.

As soon as the bamboo nest was put down, Tuantuan came out from it, stretched out his body first, and when he saw Pei Tingyue, he called out, walked up to her and showed her belly, and finally jumped onto the couch to rub against Pei Tingyue.

Seeing this, Concubine Song said unhappily, "You little ungrateful bastard."

Pei Tingyue smiled.

After touching Tuan Tuan, he pushed it towards the imperial concubine.

At first, Tuan Tuan was very dissatisfied and wanted to continue to move towards Pei Tingyue, but its nose moved and it began to sniff, and finally jumped onto Concubine Song and rubbed against her.

Concubine Song stared at it with wide eyes: "This..."

Pei Tingyue smiled and said, "I told you there would be a surprise."

Tuantuan was so obsessed with the sachet that he nestled on Concubine Song's legs and couldn't be driven away.

Concubine Song was flattered and couldn't stop smiling.

"Good son, good son."

These words left Pei Tingyue speechless.

The imperial concubine changed her mind really quickly.

He was a disobedient son and an ungrateful person on ordinary days, but now after being kissed and touched, he has become a good son.

Pei Tingyue played for a long time before leaving.

Until evening.

Yunshu was knocking on the palace maids in the back hall in the corridor.

"I'm telling you, don't take advantage of your master's promotion to Zhaoyi and act like a tyrant outside. This is the palace, and we won't tolerate your insolence. Pay attention and be careful!"

“…”

Yun Shu kept on talking until Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong were almost scared to tears, and then he let them go.

After everyone dispersed, Yun Shu and Liang An stayed at the stone table in the corridor.

"This is a milk cake made in the imperial kitchen. The master said it was too sweet and couldn't finish it, so he gave it to me as a reward. I couldn't bear to eat it, so I left it for you."

Liang An looked at her greedy look and said with a smile: "I ate a lot at night and can't eat anymore. You can eat it."

"I saved this especially for you. Please have a piece." Yun Shu handed him a piece of milk cake and said happily, "Let's eat it together."

Liang An took it and smiled slightly: "Okay."

The two of them ate in silence.

Yun Shu was eating happily. When she looked up, she suddenly saw the red marks on his face. Her expression changed immediately. "What happened to your face?"

This is clearly a slap mark.
