The woman who could appear next to Emperor Jingwen could naturally be no other than him. Although she looked unfamiliar, she was one of Emperor Jingwen's concubines. It was just that the woman's status was low, so apart from the concubines, few people had seen her.

Concubine Song was a newcomer chosen to enter the palace during last year's election. Since Emperor Jingwen was not very concerned about beauty, Concubine Song was kept in seclusion for nearly a year and was only able to see the emperor's face recently.

Because of her outstanding appearance, Concubine Song was discovered by Emperor Jingwen two months ago. She was then promoted directly from an ordinary seventh-rank concubine to a seventh-rank lady, and was brought to the garden. She was the only one who made a name for herself among last year's selection of beauties.

Miss Song was only 29 years old, just like a flower. With the brilliant sunset behind her, she was so beautiful when seen from afar on the bridge by the lake.

Emperor Jingwen happened to pass by and suddenly remembered that he had not summoned the other party for two or three months since the last time he slept with the emperor. With a thought, he summoned the other party to accompany the emperor.

And then, nothing happened.

Things turned out like this, and the amorous thoughts that had just arisen in Emperor Jingwen's mind were immediately forced to wake up.

Ye Shuo has no time to care about whether a woman is beautiful or not. As a standard ancient emperor, his stepfather should not have too many women around him. Ye Shuo now has a bigger crisis to deal with.

If he argued that the fish was presented to my cheap dad, my cheap dad would definitely not believe him.

In that case...if I don't run now, when will I?

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you run?!" If you delay any longer, the guards will be here soon!

After looking at Emperor Jingwen, Ye Shuo picked up the bucket without hesitation, turned around and ran away.

Leaving the small path is neither right nor wrong.

After all, not everyone has the courage of Ye Shuo, and Xiao Luzi dare not run away in front of the emperor.

He knelt down with a plop, Xiao Luzi wanted to cry but had no tears.

Emperor Jingwen didn't even look at him, just a little eunuch. He subconsciously took two steps forward and chased him. He found that this was really damaging to his image, so he directly ordered the guards who came after hearing the news: "Go, go and bring him back to me!"

"yes!"

The guards took orders and performed their usual actions.

There was no way. The Ninth Prince had gotten into trouble too many times, and they had become accustomed to helping His Majesty catch children.

But Ye Shuo is no pushover. Being chased once or twice is fine, but this is the third time. How could it be so easy for him to be caught by them again?

Even without using his internal strength, Ye Shuo's two legs alone are enough.

Ye Shuo moved flexibly, leaving all the guards empty-handed. The fish in his bucket suffered. After a shaking, the surrounding stone roads were covered with water stains. The bucket, which was originally full of water, was now less than half full, and the fish inside were almost shaken unconscious.

"Father, don't be angry. Wait until tomorrow. I will definitely apologize to you tomorrow!"

Let’s talk about tomorrow tomorrow. As for now, of course, the best thing to do is run!

After Ye Shuo uttered these words, he slipped into the bushes beside him and disappeared in a flash.

"You bastard, my flowers!" Emperor Jingwen's chest heaved violently as he looked at his monkey-like son.

Concubine Song, who was standing by, had subconsciously dodged when Ye Shuo was running away. Now she reacted and hurried forward to help Emperor Jingwen calm down.

If it were a normal day, with a beauty by his side, leaning on him tenderly, even Emperor Jingwen would inevitably have some feelings floating around, but now, he was not in the mood to do so.

In other words, as long as his son appeared, he had no other thoughts.

It wouldn't be a good idea to go to great lengths to send the guards to rush into the imperial concubine's palace to arrest someone, but he really couldn't swallow this humiliation, so Emperor Jingwen set his sights on Xiao Luzi.

Xiao Luzi shuddered suddenly. Just when Xiao Luzi was getting extremely nervous, Emperor Jingwen asked Wang Ziquan to come forward and then... took away the bucket that Xiao Luzi was carrying.

Emperor Jingwen took a look and saw that the box was full of fish.

It turned out that the emperor was not looking at himself, but the fish in his hand.

Xiao Luzi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could catch his breath, he heard Emperor Jingwen say, "Go back and inform your master that I will order the chef in the imperial kitchen to prepare a fish feast for this bucket of fresh fish tonight."

There were at least five or six fish in this bucket, and he must have worked very hard to catch them this afternoon. When the time came to fry, roast, and deep-fry them, Emperor Jingwen didn't believe he wouldn't feel bad.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Luzi's expression immediately became hesitant. At this moment, he didn't know whether he should tell the emperor the truth.

Emperor Jingwen did not pay attention to the change in expression of a servant and thus successfully missed the truth.

After asking Wang Ziquan to take the fish to the imperial kitchen for processing, Emperor Jingwen felt much better.

Only then did Concubine Song muster up the courage to return to Emperor Jingwen.

Concubine Song is a quiet person by nature and hates noise the most. Ye Shuo is probably the kind of naughty child she hates the most. What's more, he just made the emperor so angry. Concubine Song thinks that he is really going too far and is a bit... ungrateful.

What's more important is that the other party was making so much noise that he would bump into her if she wasn't careful. Now she couldn't withstand a bump from the Ninth Prince.

But the other party is a prince after all. Although Concubine Song thought so in her heart, she dared not show it on her face.

Concubine Song did not mention the Ninth Prince at all. She seemed a little shy, and her rosy face and rosy cheeks were extremely charming.

When Emperor Jingwen saw that Concubine Song had invited him, although most of his initial interest in her had disappeared, he still had some interest left, so he decided to have dinner at Concubine Song's residence, and asked the imperial kitchen to prepare the fish and send it to Concubine Song.

Lady Song was overjoyed when she heard this.

About an incense stick's time later, the imperial carriage arrived at Xinhezhai. Upon hearing the news, the other concubines who also came to the lake felt mixed emotions.

The queen immediately fell silent.

The Queen felt that she did not have a beauty as beautiful as the Imperial Concubine, and she felt that she was no longer young at the age of nearly thirty. She was not as youthful as young concubines like Concubine Song. The Queen really did not know what she could rely on to keep the Emperor.

Maybe things will get better after having a child.

The queen, who was originally a little hesitant, suddenly made up her mind.

After dinner, under the confused and terrified gazes of a group of her confidants around her, the queen closed her eyes tightly, tilted her head back, and drank the secretly brewed black medicine in one gulp.

The other side.

While waiting for dinner, Emperor Jingwen picked up a book and read it. Concubine Song served him. Her long hair brushed against his arm from time to time. The atmosphere around them was somewhat ambiguous and blurry.

After a pause, Emperor Jingwen used the book in his hand to lift Concubine Song's chin: "I really can't concentrate if you are like this."

Although Emperor Jingwen was over forty years old, he naturally appeared mysterious and powerful because of his identity as an emperor.

In addition, he has been the crown prince for thirty years, so his etiquette and demeanor are impeccable. A man who is heroic, extraordinary and strong is most likely to attract women.

When meeting Emperor Jingwen's eyes, Concubine Song's face turned red uncontrollably.

After a while, Concubine Song's eyes were blurred. Just when the atmosphere was about to reach its peak, Concubine Song didn't know why, but she thought of the Ninth Prince and herself now, so she blurted out: "Your Majesty, let me give birth to another well-behaved prince for you, okay?"

If it were before, Emperor Jingwen, who always believed in having many children, would have agreed without hesitation.

As for sons, which emperor would complain about having too many?

But now when he heard this, he immediately thought of Xiaojiu, and Emperor Jingwen calmed down almost instantly.

Having only Xiaojiu in the palace is enough. A well-behaved prince is good, but if there were another one like Xiaojiu, Emperor Jingwen would not be able to bear it.

Just like that, Emperor Jingwen suddenly lost interest.

Lady Song was a little flustered and confused. Did she say something wrong? Why did His Majesty's expression suddenly change?

"emperor……"

"Okay, let's go to the front first. The imperial kitchen should have prepared the fish by now."

Emperor Jingwen handed the book in his hand to the young eunuch beside him, and Wang Ziquan helped him put on his shoes. Then he walked forward without looking back.

Lady Song bit her lip and followed with tears in her eyes.

Although Emperor Jingwen was angry at his son's indulgence in toys, he had to admit that the fish freshly caught from the lake were fresh, especially the carp which were carefully selected and extremely plump and delicious.

Emperor Jingwen moved his chopsticks, and his brows, which had been unconsciously furrowed, gradually relaxed.

Fresh carp is extremely delicious whether it is braised, stewed, or fried. Emperor Jingwen thought it was even more delicious because it was seized from the little bastard.

Originally, Emperor Jingwen planned to stay overnight, but after Concubine Song said that, he immediately gave up the idea.

After dinner, Emperor Jingwen left without even waiting for Concubine Song to finish eating.

Emperor Jingwen didn't know that after he left, Concubine Song immediately had the plates of fish in front of him removed.

Lady Song thought that there were no outsiders here anyway, so she didn't worry too much.

"Pour it out, pour it all out!" Because of the emperor's silent refusal, Concubine Song was a little out of control. She felt annoyed when she saw so many fish on the table.

She didn't dare to think about what the emperor meant. Was he saying that he didn't want her to have a child?

Lady Song covered her belly with her hands, looking extremely frightened.

Because Concubine Song's attention was not here at all, she did not notice that Eunuch Wang Ziquan came back and then left again.

After going outside to get some fresh air, Emperor Jingwen thought for a while and felt that he seemed to be too harsh on Concubine Song. After all, Concubine Song knew nothing, so he thought of asking Wang Ziquan to go back and take a look and then reward her with two more things.

Lady Song had good intentions, but he really had no such plans now.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ziquan saw such a scene.

"She really had all those fish dumped out?"

Seeing Wang Ziquan nod, Emperor Jingwen felt uncomfortable for some reason and his face turned cold.

Wang Ziquan figured it out after a little thought. After all, those fish were caught by the Ninth Prince himself...

It's not necessary to use an incense burner to offer it, but it's not right to be so disrespectful...

Emperor Jingwen didn't say anything, but in his heart he felt displeased with this new favorite.

Emperor Jingwen took a deep breath, turned around and went to the Queen's Palace.

If there is anyone who is safe now, it is the Queen.

Upon hearing the news, the queen was stunned at first, and then overjoyed.

I just drank the medicine, and now the emperor is here. Does this mean that all this... is actually God's will?
