After everything was ready, the emperor finally took the empress dowager and concubines to the temporary palace to escape the summer heat.
The climate in the palace is suitable, with cool breezes blowing slowly from the mountains. What comes into view is no longer the heavy palace walls, but picturesque mountains and rivers, which is refreshing.
Ji Yunhuan lived in the emperor's courtyard. The emperor did not arrange a separate residence for her, and she had no choice.
However, even if they lived separately, the emperor would run to see her every night unless he was too busy with government affairs. Even if he did nothing, he would hold her to sleep.
She has gotten used to it now and is too lazy to struggle.
After entering the room, Ji Yunhuan felt that it looked very familiar. This was clearly the room where she had "seduced" the emperor.
It was her bold refusal of the emperor that led him to go to the nunnery.
Ji Yunhuan glanced at Liu Dewang and said, "You old man, you really are a worm in His Majesty's stomach."
Liu Dewang chuckled twice, "At that time, I thought that Your Majesty was a blessed woman. Now that Your Majesty has soared to the sky, it shows that this house has good feng shui and is most suitable for Your Majesty to nurture your pregnancy."
"Your Majesty, please take a short rest. I will come to accompany you later after His Majesty has met with the others."
Ji Yunhuan was really tired after the long journey. When she woke up from a good sleep, she found that the sun was about to set outside.
The sky above the mountain was filled with red clouds, and the warm orange light shone on Ji Yunhuan's profile. Her expression was gentle, and except for the bulge in her belly, her body did not seem swollen, and her chest seemed fuller.
She stood under the rosy glow, emitting an indescribable unique aura, and her whole body seemed to be glowing. The emperor stood there for a long time, stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty? Why don't you say anything when you come here? What are you standing here looking at?" Ji Yunhuan tilted his head and smiled very gently.
The emperor grabbed Ji Yunhuan's hand, his eyes deep, as if he wanted to suck Ji Yunhuan in, "Look at you, you look good."
Ji Yunhuan heard her own heartbeat, and heat rose to her cheeks.
The emperor's arms were strong and powerful. In the blink of an eye, Ji Yunhuan's feet were off the ground and he was held in his arms.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the yard knelt on the ground. The emperor strode into the house and carefully placed Ji Yunhuan on the bed.
"Huan'er, the first time I saw you, I understood what love at first sight meant."
"I saved you, not because I'm a gentleman, but because I wanted you! But you rejected me. This is the first time someone rejected me. I'm a little angry, but I don't want to let you go."
"I wanted to do this at the time, but I never liked forcing women. Now I have finally fulfilled my wish."
The emperor leaned over and covered Ji Yunhuan under his body, being careful not to press on her belly. He kissed her with his cold lips, conquering her little by little.
Ji Yunhuan quickly surrendered and collapsed on the bed, allowing the emperor to do whatever he wanted.
The emperor deftly unbuttoned Ji Yunhuan's clothes and kissed her closely, delicately, her Adam's apple, delicate collarbone, soft chest, and plump belly. The emperor stayed there for a long time, and suddenly shouted in surprise:
"Huan'er, the kid kicked me, he really kicked me!"
Ji Yunhuan was aroused to the point of being neither overwhelmed nor overwhelmed, but the emperor was not a beast at all. Instead, he kept touching his belly, happy like a fool.
"Come on, dear boy, kick your father again, okay? You are so naughty, you must be a brat. You have given Huan'er a lot of trouble. When you come out, you must be filial to your mother."
Ji Yunhuan's eyes were blurry. She couldn't help but scratch the emperor's broad back. The fragrance in the room became stronger. She uttered a vague mutter, "Ah... Your Majesty~ Your Majesty~"
The emperor was very familiar with Ji Yunhuan's body and continued, "Don't worry, Huan'er, I will help you right away. You will feel better soon."
Concubine Chun was still the emperor's favorite every night, and even occupied the emperor's courtyard. Many concubines tried their best to meet the emperor, but the emperor only went to Concubine Chun's room.
Ji Yunhuan's appetite improved a lot, and her belly grew bigger day by day, but she still insisted on taking a walk after meals every day.
She felt that she was in good physical condition, but Taohong was afraid that she would fall, so she always followed her closely.
Huipin was also there to accompany her and tell her some trivial matters in the palace.
The Empress holds the Phoenix Seal and commands the six palaces, but she is in poor health and is not in charge of anything most of the time. Instead, Ji Yunhuan uses the Imperial Concubine Seal more frequently.
Ji Yunhuan was pregnant and not in a very good mood, so she couldn't take care of many trivial matters. The Queen sent Huipin to help.
Huipin had been in the palace for many years and was familiar with all the affairs, which saved Ji Yunhuan a lot of trouble.
Taohong saw a group of people walking past in the distance, all dressed in strange shapes, and couldn't help but ask:
"Empress Hui, why is it so messy over there? Let's not go over there and just walk around here."
Ji Yunhuan also stopped. She felt that someone was looking at her from a distance. When she looked over, everyone had their heads lowered, and she couldn't tell who was being so presumptuous.
Huipin smiled and explained, "Those are folk jugglers. They just entered the other courtyard today. Don't worry, Your Majesty. They live far away and will never offend Your Majesty."
"The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet will be held in a few days. The Empress Dowager cares about the country and said that there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River and the national treasury is not well-off, so there is no need to hold it."
"However, His Majesty is filial and has held a family banquet in the palace. The Empress has invited a folk acrobatic troupe to make it a lively occasion."
Tao Hong supported Ji Yunhuan as they walked back. Ji Yunhuan suppressed his uneasiness and casually agreed:
"These folk hobbies are quite interesting and will surely amuse the Queen Mother."
