Inside Shuhua Palace.
Ji Yunhuan yawned and put down the account book in her hand. "Let's all go. I'm tired too."
Huipin immediately stood up and took everyone else's leave, and the hall soon became empty.
Tao Hong immediately went over to support Ji Yunhuan, "Your Majesty, aren't you waiting for His Majesty today?"
"Today is the first day of the lunar year. Your Majesty will definitely go to Jingren Palace. Although Your Majesty will not stay in Jingren Palace, for the sake of the Empress's dignity, he will not stay with other concubines either. He will probably stay in Qianqing Palace."
Ji Yunhuan pressed his aching waist and moved out slowly. Just as he reached the door of the bedroom, he heard someone coming from Jingren Palace.
A young palace maid came forward to greet him and said eloquently, "The Empress sent me to tell the Imperial Concubine that His Majesty has retired to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. She asked the Imperial Concubine to rest early and not wait any longer."
Ji Yunhuan's expression remained unchanged as he gestured for Taohong to take out the reward money to reward her.
Taohong was unhappy in her heart, but she smiled. "Thank you for making this trip. Here are some silver coins. Take them and have some fun."
The little palace maid smiled happily, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for the reward, and thank you, sister. They also said it was not an easy job, and they kept putting it off, so it fell on me."
"I've seen the Imperial Concubine several times from afar and thought she was a kind person. It's true. There's a reward for passing on a message."
Taohong asked a few questions calmly, and the little palace maid was not on guard and answered every question.
After sending the maid away, Tao Hong's smile vanished, and she angrily said, "The Queen's body is simply incapable of serving Your Majesty. She can only send people to Your Majesty's bed. She dares to send any cats and dogs, and she doesn't even think it's disgusting!"
"She was just putting on a show during the day to trick us, just to make us let down our guard. Your Majesty, you wanted to give her some respect, but she didn't give you any. If it weren't for her instructions, would Zhou Ling'er have dared to say those words?"
Ji Yunhuan was very calm. "This isn't the first time the Queen has sent someone to His Majesty. Concubine Hui rose to prominence in the same way."
"Even for the Empress Dowager's sake, Your Majesty has to give the Queen some respect. Zhou Ling'er is a bit stupid, but it's precisely because of her stupidity that she's easy to control."
Taohong became even angrier. "How can that idiot compare to Concubine Hui? She has no status or position, so why should she serve His Majesty? If everyone behaved like this, wouldn't the harem be in chaos?"
"Your Majesty, you are in charge of the six palaces. You can't just sit back and watch. Let's go to Jingren Palace and take His Majesty back!"
The sedan chair was ready and parked at the gate of Shuhua Palace. When the cold night wind blew, Ji Yunhuan's drowsy head instantly became much clearer.
"Forget it, go back. His Majesty won't be coming tonight, so you can get a good night's sleep."
The palace maids and eunuchs knelt down, and Taohong became anxious. "Your Majesty, are we really going to do nothing? Are we just going to watch that bitch climb onto the dragon bed?"
Ji Yunhuan turned and walked towards the bedroom. Taohong stomped her feet and followed him.
Ji Yunhuan thought more deeply and far-reachingly. This time, going there would undoubtedly mean a break with the Queen. She would indeed win and be able to win His Majesty back. She still had confidence in this.
His Majesty has feelings for her, but he only cares about the Queen for face, and he just wants something new for Zhou Ling'er.
But what happens next? Is he going to be so wary of all the women in the palace?
After the two entered the house, Ji Yunhuan pinched Taohong's face and said with a smile, "That Zhou Ling'er is very stupid. The Queen is desperate and has chosen such a weirdo. In the future, let alone helping the Queen, if anything goes wrong, the Queen will be implicated."
"If you hesitate when you should make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Let them be. After all, no one can shake my position, so I have nothing to worry about."
Taohong carefully observed Ji Yunhuan's expression, "Then your Majesty, aren't you sad? His Majesty clearly said that he only favors you, how could he change his mind so quickly? I feel sorry for you, too."
"The Empress is busy with palace affairs during the day, and has to endure the pain of pregnancy. At night, she still has to find time to sew purses and embroider nightgowns for His Majesty. No matter how late it is, she waits for His Majesty to come back and go to bed. The Empress is devoted to him, how could he do this!"
Ji Yunhuan saw the half-sewn pajamas next to him. Just because he said he liked it, now all his pajamas were made by her.
"Let alone the emperor, there's no man in the world who doesn't change his mind. Instead of dwelling on these things, it's better to live your life well. Being jealous will only make people dislike you."
"I'm tired. Take this nightgown away and bring it back to me when you're done. We both learned needlework from the same master, so it's pretty much the same anyway."
Taohong had wanted to do this for a long time. The queen's eyes were red from staying up late, and she felt heartbroken just looking at them.
"I will serve you to sleep. Your Majesty is right. With your status, it is really demeaning to argue about these things. Whatever Your Majesty does is right. I will obey Your Majesty."
********
Inside Jingren Palace.
The emperor's blood was boiling, his body was extremely hot, and every drop of blood was clamoring to be released.
The soft body stuck to him, bringing him a sense of coolness, making him involuntarily want more.
"Huan'er~" The emperor hugged the person in front of him and took a deep breath. Suddenly his face changed and he pushed Zhou Ling'er away.
"You are not Huan'er! Who are you?" The emperor almost vomited, his stomach churning violently. This was not Huan'er's breath at all.
Zhou Ling'er's clothes were disheveled. She staggered back several steps and fell to the ground. She stood up unwillingly and pounced on the emperor again.
"Your Majesty, please take a good look at me. I am Huan'er. Come with me into the house. You will feel comfortable inside."
Liu Dewang shouted "Protect the emperor" and was about to escort the emperor out of Jingren Palace. Two eunuchs appeared out of nowhere, very strong, and half-supported and half-dragged Liu Dewang away.
