Chapter 135: The Tragic Queen vs. the Deeply Affectionate Emperor (9)

At the ceremony of enthroning the Queen, the Emperor held the Queen's hand and offered sacrifices to the heavens. The ceremony was completed. Everyone except the palace servants sat down, ate, sang and danced to celebrate the royal wedding.

The Queen Mother liked quiet time, so after the ceremony, she was helped back to the palace by Aunt Sura.

Without the restraint of the Queen Mother, Chen Minzhi, who was enthroned as Consort Chen, stood up first and congratulated the Emperor and the Queen: "Congratulations to the Emperor and the Queen. I wish the Queen to give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible."

Shi Yi acted like a Queen, and just as she was about to speak, the Emperor held her hand.

She looked at him with some confusion.

The Emperor put a meatball into her bowl with chopsticks and saw that she had eaten it. Then he slowly said: "The Queen and I appreciate Consort Chen's kindness. Please sit down. Someone, give all the nobles good wine."

"Thank you, Your Majesty and Queen." Consort Chen sat down and hurriedly lowered her head to drink to hide her disappointment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and may the Empress live long." The ministers present raised their glasses and drank.

Dong Boshu looked at the emperor on the high throne and always felt that she looked familiar, but she could never remember where she was. Seeing that Concubine Chen had hit such a soft top, she swallowed the toast she had prepared along with the wine.

"Why don't you let me speak?" Shi Yi looked around and whispered in his ear when he saw that no one was paying attention.

"Keep away from this Concubine Chen. Be careful not to be tricked by her." The emperor pinched her belly in a place where no one could see and began to divert attention. "Look at you, this meat. You are really going to be as fat as a pig."

In fact, the water in the harem is much deeper than imagined. Before Concubine Chen entered the palace, she was like a sister to Mr. Huang's daughter. After entering the palace, Mr. Huang's daughter immediately avoided her as soon as she fell into the water. It can be seen that she is a person who curries favor with the powerful. It is inevitable that the queen will be led astray when she interacts with her.

"This meatball is really delicious. I want to eat another one." Shi Yi followed the emperor's wishes and continued to focus on eating.

Lord Ma Jia and Ma Jia, who were sitting below, looked at their daughter who was ignorant of the world being well taken care of by the emperor, and their worries were reduced a little.

Shi Yi certainly found them, but she was now the queen and could not lose her manners. She could only make eye contact with them when toasting.

This was the first meeting with the concubines in the harem, and she ended up eating a whole bowl of meatballs.

Seeing the queen's chubby childlike appearance, the concubines relaxed their vigilance. Even Dong Boshu felt that this queen was stupid and only knew how to eat. She was lucky to be the queen because of her good family background.

After the banquet, the emperor carried his drunken queen into the Four Seasons Palace. Chunhua and Qiuyue hurriedly presented the sobering soup.

"It tastes good." Shi Yi was drunk and licked her lips with the bowl of soup.

"Greedy girl, are you feeling better?" The emperor reached out to wipe off the soup on her lips and put it on his own lips, licking his tongue and tasting it.

It tasted sweet and sour, no wonder she liked it.

"I want to drink another bowl." Shi Yi pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly.

"You only drank a few sips, and you are so drunk." The emperor carried her to the bed and took off her shoes and socks himself.

"Your Majesty, let me do such trivial things." Liangchen and Meijing, who came in with water, knelt on the ground and were about to hold the queen's feet.

"No need, I can do it myself." The emperor wrung out the handkerchief and gently placed it on Shi Yi's foot, "This sobering soup is well cooked, you guys are thoughtful."

"It is the duty of the servants." Chunhua, Qiuyue, Liangchen, and Meijing knelt on the ground and said.

"The queen is still young and is not familiar with the rules of the harem. You should help her more. And don't let the concubines Chen get close to the queen." The emperor held Shi Yi's chubby, white, smooth and tender little feet, and suddenly understood why there are people in the world who have a "foot fetish".

This was the first time that the four palace maids saw their master treat a woman so attentively. They were indescribably envious and a little bitter. For a moment, they were a little stunned.

"Go down, no need to serve." The emperor drove them away.

"Itchy." Shi Yi, who was lying on the bed, turned over and hugged the emperor, half-closing her eyes and said coquettishly: "Cousin, don't tickle my soles, it's itchy."

"Don't know how to appreciate kindness." The emperor threw the handkerchief into the basin, then washed his hands with another basin of clean water, removed the gold ornaments on her head and then washed her face.

"Cousin, are we going to sleep together?" Shi Yi, who was a little sober, had a flushed face and watery eyes.

The emperor deliberately avoided her sight and wiped his feet with a handkerchief.

"Cousin, I..." Shi Yi rolled a little deeper into the bed and suddenly felt a pain under her body. She pouted and said aggrievedly, "There is something down there, Shi'er... it hurts..."

After the emperor wiped his hands, he saw her aggrieved look and his heart ached. He touched the place she mentioned. There were round, long, and grains. The shapes of these things were very familiar to him.

Shi Yi half-knelt on the bed and directly touched all these things. Then his eyes lit up instantly, "These are my favorite longans, peanuts, dried dates, and lotus seeds."

"You are not allowed to eat them." The emperor snatched the things from her hand, "If you eat more, you will become a fat pig."

"I'm hungry." Shi Yi pulled his hand and acted coquettishly.

The emperor thought about it and thought that dried dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds, all together, meant "early birth of a son", so he immediately changed his mind: "Eat it. You won't get fat if you eat it today." Shi

Yi took a dried longan from his hand, peeled it, and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks slightly puffed, and she said: "You won't regret it?"

"This handful is all yours." The emperor held her to the side, and then conducted a carpet search, and finally found a large bag.

"Save these for me to eat tomorrow." Shi Yi, who was feeling sleepy, leaned against the bed curtain, and the emperor quickly grabbed her and saved her from physical pain.

"Cousin, I'm sleepy." Shi Yi pulled his clothes and pressed her face against his chest. The heat of her breath directly penetrated his clothes to his skin and then to the softest part of his heart.

"Sleep." The emperor laid her flat on the couch, arranged her robes for her, and lay down beside her with her clothes on.

"I'm cold." Shi Yi turned over and hugged him.

The emperor reached out and pulled the quilt embroidered with dragons and phoenixes to cover her, then held her in his arms and patted her gently.

The candlelight burned quietly, and the wind whistled outside from time to time. The hot breath of the little girl in his arms hit his chest. For the first time, the emperor felt that this night was so peaceful.

He slowed down his breathing and gradually fell asleep.

At this time, Shi Yi opened his eyes and gently placed a wet and hot kiss on the side of his cheek.
