Looking at Nan Zhiyun, Yu Jingchen teased, "How does it feel, Yun'er?"
Nan Zhiyun's face instantly turned bright red, and as if there was something burning hot in her hand, she abruptly let go.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun stammered, what had she just done?
"Awake now?" Yu Jingchen looked at her with a smile in his eyes, but there was a malicious intent in that smile.
Nan Zhiyun dared not answer, but things had already developed to this point, how could he possibly let Nan Zhiyun go?
so……
“Now that Yun’er is awake, let’s do something else… Yun’er is fully responsible for this.” With that, the curtains fell, filling the room with a romantic atmosphere.
The next day
The hunting grounds sounded their horns, and Yu Jingchen, bow in hand, drew his bow in the next moment. The arrow flew from the string, piercing the sky. The first arrow of the spring hunt, fired by the emperor, was a success.
The drums thundered deafeningly, and the horns blared incessantly. Yu Jingchen leaped lightly onto his horse, his eyes sharp and cold, and the overwhelming sense of power he exuded commanded submission.
"Giddy up!" The horses charged off like arrows released from a bow, and with Yu Jingchen at the head, the spring hunt officially began.
Everyone should be present for today's spring hunt, except for Nan Zhiyun, and... Su Qianyan.
"Why isn't Consort Shu here? And where is Consort Su?" It was Consort Rong who spoke.
"His Majesty hasn't inquired, so why should we care? Consort Shu has always been like this; haven't we gotten used to it yet? As for Consort Su... she was beaten yesterday and walked to the imperial palace. This morning, His Majesty punished her by making her kneel for a day to reflect on her actions, so naturally she can't come," Consort Yuan replied. Among these people, she held the highest position.
"Serves her right. She even thought she could seduce His Majesty, but she didn't expect that not only would she not get a second glance from him, but she would also displease him and offend his imperial authority," Yu Yan said gloatingly.
Consort Yuan merely glanced at Yu Yan without saying a word.
"Consort Shu is still the most favored by His Majesty. Not only does she ride in the same carriage as His Majesty, but when she falls asleep, His Majesty personally carries her down. They also live together. I think Consort Shu was serving His Majesty yesterday, which is why she didn't come over today, right?" Consort Rong said calmly.
"Since Consort Shu is the highest-ranking among us, we should pay our respects to her. We can't forget the rules just because we've left the palace, can we?" Consort Yuan smiled gently.
“What Consort Yuan says is absolutely right. Why don’t we go over now?” Bai Yusheng chimed in.
Consort Yuan smiled gently. Although she did not express her opinion explicitly, her attitude was already very clear. Consort Yuan led her entourage to Nan Zhiyun's palace.
When they arrived, Nan Zhiyun was still fast asleep, showing no signs of waking up.
Qianxia stood guard outside and stepped forward when she saw Consort Yuan and the others arrive: "This servant greets Consort Yuan, Consort Rong, Consort Bai, and Consort Jing."
"I and the others have come to pay our respects to Consort Shu. Has Consort Shu risen yet?" Consort Yuan asked.
"Your Highness, please forgive me, but it is probably inconvenient for Consort Shu to see you all right now. Furthermore, there is no need for you ladies to make a special trip to pay your respects to Consort Shu," Qianxia replied with a smile.
“This spring hunt should have someone in charge, and Consort Shu is the highest-ranking among us, so it is only right that she should be in charge,” Consort Rong added.
Qianxia's expression remained unchanged: "You ladies may not know, but His Majesty specifically instructed before he left today that no one is allowed to disturb Consort Shu, so please go back first."
