Previously, people were saying that Consort Shu was about to fall out of favor after being flogged by His Majesty. But judging from the current situation, falling out of favor? Is this really falling out of favor? She is clearly still favored by His Majesty, and even more so!
"How did the hunt go today?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"Your Majesty, Consort Shu has the most prey today, ranking first," the person counting the prey reported.
"Then let Consort Xu make a request to me this time. I will inform her after she wakes up." Yu Jingchen's face remained completely expressionless.
Xinglai cursed inwardly... What's she pretending for? Besides, this wasn't one of the rewards mentioned before. Isn't it a waste for Consort Shu to get this opportunity? Really... dog.
"Today is the last day of the spring hunt. You have all worked hard these past few days. The warriors of my Great Yuan Dynasty have truly not disappointed me. The land remains as it is, and talented people continue to emerge. I am very pleased. Today, I would like to offer you all a toast with this wine." Yu Jingchen raised a cup of wine.
"Long live the Emperor!" The people below also raised their cups and shouted. Only after seeing Yu Jingchen drink the wine did they follow suit and drink it all in one gulp.
"Don't worry about the rules tonight, just eat and have fun!" Yu Jingchen seemed to be in a good mood today, and the people below seemed to have noticed it as well. So after Yu Jingchen said this, the atmosphere among them became much more relaxed and less serious than before.
The hunting grounds instantly became lively. Nan Zhiyun was already asleep, so Yu Jingchen paid almost no attention to what the people below were doing, instead focusing on watching Nan Zhiyun.
Her little face was a little red from sleeping, just like a baby, wrapped up tightly in her clothes, with pink lips that made people's hearts melt.
"Your Majesty, why don't we send Consort Shu back first?" Xing said.
"It's alright, let's leave it at that. It's not like it's the first time." Yu Jingchen said. Last time in the palace, didn't this girl sleep just as soundly? She even cried that time because she was shy... But he didn't care how much of that crying was genuine.
How shrewd is Yu Jingchen? How could Nan Zhiyun's little tricks possibly fool her? He was just playing along with her antics; after all, Nan Zhiyun rarely showed this side of herself.
However, she seems to be much better these days. I don't know if it's because she's revealed her true nature after coming out or what, but Nan Zhiyun is much more lively than before.
Especially after being beaten last time, Nan Zhiyun seemed to be completely liberated, and she could let loose about everything. She was always acting like a child, acting cute, asking for praise, and throwing tantrums, like a little monkey.
Yu Jingchen was incredibly soft-hearted towards Nan Zhiyun. He felt heartache for her, yet he also loved her dearly and couldn't bear to leave her.
Nan Zhiyun is good as she is now... He also hopes that Nan Zhiyun can live her whole life like she has these past two days, carefree, without any worries, and just be able to act cute with him every day.
Watching Yu Jingchen's doting affection for Nan Zhiyun from below, Consort Yuan felt a tightness in her chest. This Consort Shu was indeed too favored; if this continued…
“Sister Yuanfei, there are many who are favored, but throughout history, few who are favored have had a good ending…” Bai Yusheng said leisurely beside her.
Consort Yuan looked at Bai Yusheng: "I don't seem to have heard of any exceptions..."
“That’s it then, so Sister Yuanfei doesn’t need to worry, there’s still plenty of time,” Bai Yusheng said.
"Of course I have no worries. Over the years, I have never been troubled. As someone in this position, there are many people watching me..." Consort Yuan said meaningfully.
"Don't worry, Sister Yuanfei, I understand." Bai Yusheng was also a smart person.
Consort Yuan said no more. There would be plenty of opportunities, so why worry about such a short time? One should always have a long-term perspective. When playing chess, one cannot only look at the present moment, but must consider the overall situation, right?
A voice suddenly rang out at the banquet hall, “Your Majesty.”
