The emperor had been changing the name card for seven consecutive days, and Shufei slept with him every night. Rewards were sent to Shuhua Palace in droves, and her popularity had overshadowed that of Concubine Liu.
No one might believe it if I told them, but most of the time, Ji Yunhuan and the emperor would just chat under the quilt.
Even so, Ji Yunhuan still felt very annoyed.
"Huan'er, can you help me again?" The emperor came forward and tested Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan was extremely sleepy. She didn't understand why the emperor always had endless energy. Didn't he ever get tired?
The emperor held Ji Yunhuan's hand, and his tone was somewhat pitiful, "Huan'er, I feel bad, please help me."
Ji Yunhuan had no choice but to comply. The emperor sighed with satisfaction, but he was still not satisfied and had to solve the problem himself.
"Your Majesty, I am so frightened that I cannot serve you. Why don't you go to one of your sisters, such as Concubine Hui. She has been in the palace for many years and has served the Queen with great merit. Your Majesty should go and see her... Woo~"
Ji Yunhuan's words were blocked in her mouth. The emperor was like a hungry wolf, gnawing at her bite by bite, as if he wanted to tear her apart and swallow her into his stomach.
"Ji Yunhuan! You! Sooner or later I will be pissed off to death by you!" The emperor's eyes were bloodshot and he looked ferocious, as if he was going to drag the man out and beat him to death with a stick in the next second!
Ji Yunhuan stood up and knelt on the bed, not understanding how she had offended the emperor again. Shouldn't the emperor be happy with her being so virtuous?
But the emperor was just a paper tiger. She was pregnant with the emperor's most precious son, and the emperor would never touch her.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was wrong."
Seeing the woman in front of him admitting her mistake without any sincerity, the emperor felt even more annoyed!
He didn't know what was wrong with him. The Queen was virtuous, and he respected her. He was disgusted by Concubine Liu's jealousy, but now that Ji Yunhuan was so generous, he was furious!
It was as if he was just an object that could be thrown away at any time and used to sell favors, as if Ji Yunhuan didn't care about him at all!
The emperor shook his head and got rid of this terrible idea. Huan'er loved him to the core, so how could she not care about him?
"Don't be afraid. I know you're tired during pregnancy and impatient to serve me. I also know I shouldn't cling to a pregnant woman, but other than you, no other woman can satisfy me or make me happy."
"Huan'er, I like your body, your breath, your voice, everything about you. I like you. Please don't push me away, okay?"
The emperor sounded more and more pitiful the more he spoke. Those who didn't know him would think he was a resentful woman who had been abandoned, rather than the supreme emperor.
Ji Yunhuan suddenly realized that he had not slept enough.
"Your Majesty, you worry too much. I dare not do that. I also like Your Majesty."
The emperor was overjoyed. Pretending to be pitiful was indeed effective. His Huan'er was the most soft-hearted person.
"Huan'er, let me love you, okay?"
Ji Yunhuan agreed without thinking, and was once again tormented by the emperor...
On the fifteenth day, the moon hangs above the willow trees, and people make appointments after dusk.
After Ji Yunhuan finished serving the emperor his meal, he was overjoyed and gently reminded him, "Your Majesty, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. You should go to the queen."
The emperor's face darkened again, and the palace maids and eunuchs around him knelt on the ground.
Liu Dewang sighed. He had never seen anyone pushing the emperor out. This Concubine Shu was really brave!
"You promised me, and you forgot it so quickly." There was a hint of grievance in the emperor's voice.
Ji Yunhuan coughed dryly and told himself not to be soft-hearted and never miss the opportunity to rest on the first and fifteenth days of every month.
"Of course I haven't forgotten! But the rules are like this, and I dare not break the rules by relying on your majesty's favor."
"The Queen treats me well. If I still occupy Your Majesty tonight, wouldn't I be an ungrateful villain?"
"The Empress Dowager has always shown concern for me and praised me for my dignified and polite manners. How could I, for my own selfish reasons, disrupt the palace rules? Wouldn't that be a betrayal of the Empress Dowager's kindness?"
The emperor was speechless.
After a long while, he stood up and said angrily, "Then I'll leave today and won't come back in the future!"
Ji Yunhuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."
The emperor angrily threw his sleeves and really went to Jingren Palace.
But he didn't stay overnight. The queen was in poor health and was frail. How could he force himself to serve her?
After the emperor and the empress chatted for a while, the emperor returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, giving the empress the proper respect.
In the following days, the emperor was busy with government affairs and never set foot in the harem.
It’s not that he doesn’t miss Ji Yunhuan, but there is a flood in Jiangnan!
Floods occur every year, but this year is particularly severe. The court is arguing over the issue of disaster relief, especially Prime Minister Liu's lineage, who are trying their best to place their own people in positions and are eyeing the disaster relief funds.
In the harem, the news of Concubine Shu's defiance of the emperor suddenly spread, and everyone was talking about it, saying that Concubine Shu had fallen out of favor.
Inside Changchun Palace.
"This bitch, she was so eager to curry favor with the Queen, but ended up shooting herself in the foot. She didn't know how to cherish the favor she received, and instead pushed the Majesty away. She deserves to fall out of favor!"
Concubine Liu laughed heartily. After feeling depressed for so many days, she finally felt happy.
Ji Yonglian knelt beside and carefully massaged Concubine Liu's legs. She didn't dare to stop even when her fingers became sore.
"I know that bitch best. She acts so noble all day long, as if she's the only saint in the world. I hate her condescending attitude the most!"
"In this harem, only the Imperial Concubine remains in great favor. Who the hell is she?"
Concubine Liu was in a good mood. She waved her hand and asked Ji Yonglian to stand up. "You did a good job on this matter. The news spread quickly. I am very satisfied. I will not hold it against you. In the future, you should give me more advice. I will not treat you unfairly."
Ji Yonglian immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times, "Your Majesty is so magnanimous. I will follow your lead from now on. As long as I can overthrow Concubine Shu, I will not hesitate to die!"
"Don't worry, I can deal with her right now. Come, call Concubine Shu over. Today, I will give her twenty lashes to vent my anger!"
A hint of contempt flashed in Ji Yonglian's eyes. This Concubine Liu is really a pig-brained person!
These days she tried every means to please the emperor, and endured being beaten and scolded. Her life was worse than that of the servants in Changchun Palace. Finally, she coaxed Concubine Liu into sparing her life.
After using Concubine Liu's power to kill Ji Yunhuan, it will be time for her to deal with this idiot!
"Your Majesty, absolutely not! His Majesty is still new to her. If you hit her for no reason, His Majesty will misunderstand you as having a vicious heart. Wouldn't that be more harm than good?"
Concubine Liu disagreed, "I have always done this before. If anyone disobeys, I will find a reason to teach them a lesson, and they will behave themselves from now on."
Ji Yonglian advised earnestly, "This bitch is deeply loved by the Queen Mother. If we ask the Queen Mother to intervene, things will be troublesome."
"Your Majesty is a noble woman. How can you let gold and jade collide with rough stone? Your Majesty, there is no need to make such a fuss. I have a plan. I have thousands of ways to torture people. I will definitely make that bitch suffer uncontrollably!"
