Chapter 78 Empress Yu Likes to Eat Children
Ever since He Yanchen enlightened her that day, Yue Li continued to struggle for a few days, and gradually she found it boring.
"I don't want to manage the Shangfu Bureau anymore. It's so boring."
In the evening, after the two of them were intimate, Yueli said this while resting her head on the man's chest.
He Yanchen was about to be irritated by her again: "You have only been in charge for a few days? Do you think I am a street vendor who can just quit if he wants to?"
Yue Li didn't really want to seize the Queen's power in the palace. She was just angry when she heard Le Yue's words that day, so she went to He Yanchen to ask for the power in the palace.
However, during these days of being in charge of the Shangfu Bureau, Nanny Wang had to teach her every day how to read the account books, how to check and so on. There were many people in the palace, so she had to get up early every morning to check, and she was often busy until noon.
Yueli is really annoyed.
She still just wants to be a good-for-nothing little loser who eats well and sleeps well.
Yue Li hurriedly stood up, her cheeks still flushed from the aftermath, her eyes wet. "Your Majesty, I really don't want to care about this anymore. I've been exhausted for over a month."
"I still like to accompany Your Majesty and want to go to the Imperial Study to add fragrance to Your Majesty's heart."
He Yanchen stroked her naked lower back with his palm, rubbing the red mark left there: "Do you really not want to care about it anymore?"
"I don't want to think about it anymore!" Because of the mess in the Shangfu Bureau, she hadn't been able to stay in bed for a long time, nor could she go out to play with Shen Zhaoyi and the others.
He Yanchen pinched her cheek and said, "I'll let Nanny Wang take care of it. From now on, she will serve in the Zhuoyu Palace. She will discuss important matters with you when there are any."
Since the power of the Shangfu Bureau has been separated from the Queen, there is naturally no reason to return it. Besides, Yueli has power in her hands, so she will not be looked down upon.
It's just that this person is so lazy and greedy that he has to ask others to help him.
He Yanchen used a little more force in his hands, pinching her cheeks to make them even redder.
Yueli was happy, hugging his neck and nuzzling it: "Then I don't have to get up early tomorrow, Your Majesty, let's do it again..."
As she said that, she turned over and sat astride the man's waist and bent down to kiss him.
He Yanchen held her neck and deepened the kiss.
The curtains swayed slightly, and a faint whimpering sound leaked through the gaps in the bed curtains...

As September arrived, the weather gradually became cooler. A few clouds occasionally passed through the clear blue sky, and the breeze blew beside the lotus pond, which was very pleasant.
When Yueli was bored, she liked to come to the lotus pond to feed the fish. But today, when she arrived at the pavilion, she saw Concubine Lin and the eldest princess were already there.
The eldest princess was lying on the fence, scattering fish food. Concubine Lin was sitting on a stone bench, sipping tea. When she saw her coming, she quickly stood up and said, "Greetings, Concubine Yu."
Yueli walked into the pavilion and called her to her feet: "Is Concubine Lin here to feed the fish as well?"
Concubine Lin carried the eldest princess down and said with a smile, "Jia De has been clamoring to come out and play for a long time, but it was hot these days and I was afraid she couldn't stand the heat."
Jiade walked up to Yueli with his short legs and said in a baby voice, "Greetings to Empress Yu."
Yueli likes her very much. She looks like a glutinous rice dumpling, fair and tender, and very cute.
She touched the little princess's face and asked, "Princess, do you like these koi too?"
"I like it! Mother also has a few, but not as many as here."
The eldest princess was throwing fish food into the water with great enthusiasm. Seeing that she was having so much fun, Yueli felt embarrassed to go over. If people saw her feeding the fish with the eldest princess, they would say she was like a child.
Concubine Lin poured Yueli a cup of tea and took the initiative to speak: "Last time in Yanfu Palace, it was my fault that I was unable to speak for the queen."
Yueli recalled that on her birthday, the Queen Mother said she would ask the imperial physician to take her pulse. She couldn't help feeling a little depressed, especially when she saw the eldest princess and Concubine Lin having such a good time.
She curled her lips and said, "I don't blame you. The Queen Mother also means well."
The Queen Mother might really have good intentions. After all, every woman in the palace doesn't want to have a child. It's just that her situation is special, and she can't help but get angry whenever someone mentions her.
"As long as Concubine Yu doesn't blame me," Concubine Lin smiled as she looked at the eldest princess playing by the water. "The eldest prince is almost five years old now, and will soon be old enough to go to the study. Now that Concubine Jin is no longer raising him, I wonder who Your Majesty has chosen to be his adoptive mother."
Yueli felt that Concubine Lin definitely did not mention the eldest prince unintentionally.
There was only one prince in the palace, so who wouldn't want to raise him? Even if he couldn't ascend to that position in the future, at least he would be a prince.
Concubine Lin asked, "Does Concubine Yu want to raise a prince?"
Yueli frowned: "What does Concubine Lin mean?"
"I have no other intentions, but my influence is insignificant. If I can help Your Majesty, I hope you will also take care of Jiade in the future."
Yueli understood that he wanted to join her.
But she had no interest in the eldest prince, and he was not her own child. If she looked at He Yanchen's child with someone else every day, she would be angry to death sooner or later.
Seeing Yueli's disinterest, Concubine Lin didn't say much, and only said, "As long as Your Majesty needs it, please tell me."
When the two of them finished talking, the eldest princess ran over and wanted to pull Yueli to play together: "Empress Yu, come with Jiade to go fishing!"
Concubine Lin was a little amused and said, "Don't drag Empress Yu into this mess."
"Mother, I want to go..."
Yueli became interested. She looked around the pavilion and saw that the water was very shallow, so it would be okay if she fell in.
So the two of them squatted by the water and used the small net brought by the eldest princess to catch fish.
For a moment, the pavilion was filled with laughter and joy.
When He Yanchen came out of the imperial study, he knew that Yueli had gone to the lotus pond. He wanted to come over to find her, but he saw two figures, one big and one small, squatting by the water playing. Yueli even kissed the eldest princess on her rosy face.
Such a happy smile.
The man's eyes darkened. He stopped playing with Shen Zhaoyi and started playing with Princess Lin Guipin.
No wonder he hasn’t been to the imperial study these days.
Thinking of Yueli's clinginess when they were in Linde Palace before, He Yanchen felt a little uncomfortable.
Concubine Lin was the first to notice He Yanchen's arrival. As soon as she spoke, the eldest princess ran towards He Yanchen.
"Father!" The eldest princess hadn't seen him for a long time and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
He Yanchen touched her head and asked, "What were you playing just now?"
"I'm fishing with Empress Yu."
"Father, I like Empress Yu so much. What does Empress Yu like? Jiade wants to give Empress Yu a gift."
He Yanchen glanced at Yueli, a smile on his lips: "Empress Yu likes to eat children."
Jiade was stunned for a moment.
After that, Yueli found that Jiade was no longer attached to her.
