Ji Yunhuan was very satisfied with the secret guards. She had already rewarded those guards, but the secret guards were elusive. This was the first time she saw what they looked like.
He looked ordinary, covered in gray-black clothes, so ordinary that it was difficult to remember his appearance.
Tao Hong stuffed two purses filled with golden dumplings into An Wu's hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. Use these to buy some wine."
An Wu hesitated for a moment and took it first.
Ji Yunhuan raised his hand to let him stand up. "Your Majesty gave me you and An Liu. Besides protecting my safety, can you do anything else for me?"
An Wu knelt down again and said, "Since Your Majesty has given us to Her Majesty, we will naturally obey Her Majesty's orders from now on."
Ji Yunhuan knew that the secret guards would report her whereabouts to the emperor, but she didn't care, as long as she could be used.
She avenged her mother in a fair and upright manner and there was nothing shameful about it.
If the emperor disliked her because of this, she didn't care. It just saved her the trouble of serving the emperor. Anyway, she already had a child, and the empress dowager would protect her.
Ji Yunhuan explained all this and finally decided to let An Liu go out to do the work, while An Wu would still hide in the dark to protect her.
After nightfall.
Ji Gongming rested in his own yard, with Aunt Zhang wrapped around him, her face flushed.
"Master, go slower. I can't stand it any more."
After making love, Ji Gongming wanted to do it again, but unfortunately he was unable to do so and had to give up.
A hint of contempt flashed in Aunt Zhang's eyes. It was such a waste of such good looks. She was just a silver spear and wax hair. After following Ji Gongming for all these years, she had never experienced the ultimate happiness of being a woman.
But that man, with a muscular body and seemingly wild, was very happy in bed.
Aunt Zhang blushed and squeezed her legs tightly together, saying coquettishly, "Master is getting stronger and stronger now. I'm crying, but Master doesn't know how to pity me."
Ji Gongming was very happy to be praised. With the help of Aunt Zhang, he took a bath, changed his clothes, and lay comfortably on the bed.
"Master, the eldest lady asked me to live in Ruyi Garden, but all the people living there are your concubines. If Chang'er comes back and wants to visit me, wouldn't that be an offense to your beloved concubine?"
Ji Yongchang is Ji Gongming's only son. Although he is a concubine's son, Ji Gongming has high hopes for him and treats him like a legitimate son. He is currently studying hard in the academy and only comes back once a month.
"It's really inconvenient for you to live in Ruyi Garden while raising a son. Now that Xiuzhu Garden is no longer habitable, you can live here with me. The west wing is still empty, so you can move in tonight."
Aunt Zhang looked delighted. Being able to live with the master made her feel more honored than the other concubines.
"Thank you, Master! You are the one who cares about me. Now that the eldest lady is the housekeeper, I don't mind. It's just that my Lian'er is suffering. I don't know where the eldest lady hired so many helpers. They kill people without blinking an eye. I am just a woman in the inner house. I really don't dare to offend the eldest lady."
Ji Gongming's face darkened. "I really underestimated Xu Junwan. She's already dead, yet she still kept this trick."
"Huan'er has been corrupted by her. Now he's like a mad dog, even hitting his own father. He totally disregards ethics and morality!"
Aunt Zhang patted Ji Gongming's chest and said coquettishly, "Master, don't be angry, or you will hurt your body. The eldest daughter is still young, and she will be fine after she gets married."
Ji Gongming seemed to be thinking about something. "It's time for Huan'er to get married. Since the Marquis's Mansion has already called off the engagement, let's find a good match for her. Once she gets married, she won't be a scourge to the Ji family anymore."
"Given Huan'er's current situation, there's no need to be picky about family background. You should handle this matter as soon as possible. Lian'er will be marrying into the Marquis' Mansion soon. Before the wedding of the two mansions, Huan'er must be married off!"
Aunt Zhang was overjoyed. "Master, you are wise. I will go find a matchmaker tomorrow and choose someone who is mature, steady and capable. Once the eldest daughter is married, she will definitely be obedient."

At this time, the Qianqing Palace was brightly lit.
The emperor sat at his desk, with a mountain of memorials before him. He put down the secret letter in his hand, rubbed his brow, and said in a deep voice:
"Tell me, how is she today?"
An Wu knelt on the ground and reported Ji Yunhuan's situation today in detail.
Ever since the Empress became pregnant, His Majesty has been particularly concerned about her. No matter how busy he is, he always cares about her diet and daily life.
A lot of things happened today, and An Wu took a whole incense stick of time to report, but the emperor did not show any impatience. The more he listened, the more interesting he found it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"She is brave and resourceful, not stupid. This is good. She can stand on her own feet, and I don't have to worry about her being bullied."
"I gave her the manpower for her to use. You just need to protect her safety. For the rest, do as she tells you."
An Wu was still kneeling on the ground, holding two exquisite purses in his hands. He said in a serious tone, "This is a reward from the Queen."
The emperor couldn't help laughing. This was the first time someone rewarded his secret guards. She was brave and not afraid of these secret guards.
"Since it's her reward, just keep it. Don't ask again in the future."
"Yes!" An Wu responded and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Liu Dewang arrived with the eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department. The eunuchs knelt on the ground and said in a long voice, "Your Majesty, please turn over the cards."
Concubine Liu's green badge was inlaid with gold edges and was placed in the most conspicuous position.
The emperor knew that he should go to Changchun Palace to see Concubine Liu, but his mind was now full of Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan was always gentle and tender in front of her. What he loved most was her appearance in bed, her sparkling eyes, her red nose from crying, her seductive moans, every part of her was so touching.
He had never seen Ji Yunhuan angry before. It must be a different kind of beautiful scene when Huan'er is angry.
As long as you think of someone, you will feel that she is perfect in every way. Her crying is beautiful, her smiling is even more beautiful, and her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness all make people dream about her.
"Forget it, I'm tired, I won't turn over the cards today."
The eunuch was still holding the tray. Concubine Liu had already made arrangements. If he could lead His Majesty to Changchun Palace, he would get more reward money.
"Your Majesty has not favored a concubine for two months. The Empress Dowager has often asked us for advice. If you don't turn over the cards today, I really can't explain to the Empress Dowager."
With a loud "bang", the emperor kicked the eunuch over, the tray fell to the ground, and the green cards were scattered all over the floor.
"I don't think you can explain this to Liu Yan! Someone, drag him out!"
At the emperor's command, guards came in immediately, blocked the eunuch's mouth and dragged him away.
The eunuch from the Jingshifang angered His Majesty and was beaten with the stick twenty times. He was covered in blood and was probably dead.
Concubine Liu received the news very quickly. The death of a eunuch was nothing. The key was the emperor's attitude.
"Your Majesty, you are disgusted with me. He is slapping me in the face!"
"Shi Liu, I've been feeling increasingly lethargic lately. Look at me, are there wrinkles? His Majesty hasn't visited me in two months. Tell me, have I fallen out of favor?"
