After Su Ruyan moved into the palace, Xiao Li assigned a large number of palace maids and eunuchs to serve her.
Qin Chuan often visited her at the palace where she lived, but she didn't seem happy. Although she didn't say it, it was obvious that she didn't like the palace maids and eunuchs.
After some time, Qin Chuan taught some eunuchs how to drive. The eunuchs who had learned to drive went to Jiangzhou to bring Yuan'er, Ping'er, and the rest of the family to the palace.
Upon seeing her former servant, Su Ruyan's smile became noticeably wider.
A few days later, Xiao Yue finished dealing with matters in Hangzhou and returned to the capital.
Xiao Yue arrived at the bedchamber but did not find Qin Chuan. Instead, she saw Xiao Li.
"Royal sister, where is my brother-in-law?"
"Shouldn't you call me husband?"
Xiao Li's words made Xiao Yue stop in her tracks. After she stopped, she looked at her older sister with a look of surprise and doubt on her face.
“You don’t need to look at me like that. Don’t you know what kind of person my husband is? Do you think he would hide anything from me? I am the person my husband loves most, and he would never hide anything from me.”
As Xiao Li spoke, a smile curved her lips, as if she were showing a hint of smugness.
She scrutinized her younger sister, who was trying to steal her love, with amusement, as if declaring her victory.
Xiao Yue's face showed a complicated expression. At this moment, she wished she could beat Qin Chuan up right away!
You promised to love me more than your elder sister, yet you tell her everything!
He kept saying he loved me the most, but he was clearly lying to me and trying to coax me...
Thinking of this, she immediately turned around and walked out of the bedchamber, all the way out of the palace.
Then, leading the Imperial Guards, they headed towards the Prince of Yan's residence.
at this time.
Qin Chuan, in the Prince of Yan's mansion, was lying on a comfortable sofa with Jiang Yao sitting on his lap in his arms. Jiang Ran was massaging her shoulders from behind, and Su Ru was feeding him peeled seedless grapes, while Jiang Lianyue stood to the side watching coldly.
These days, I'm playing different games with my wife Jiang Yao, Jiang Ran, and Ru Shi every day. It's like being in paradise, incredibly blissful!
Jiang Yao's wife and he were always perfectly in sync, singing together in perfect harmony!
This has made him very weak these days, and he doesn't want to move at all.
He left state affairs to the cabinet and palace matters to Xiao Li, while he stayed in the Prince of Yan's mansion, acting as a hands-off manager, content and carefree!
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, and Xiao Yue walked in, her face full of anger.
"Don't you care about state affairs anymore? You're always singing and dancing around, neglecting your health. Look how weak you are now!"
Qin Chuan opened his eyes, and Jiang Yao and the other women were surprised to find that he had very dark circles under his eyes.
They were so focused on pleasure that they almost drained him dry...
Only then did Jiang Yao's flawless face show worry. She knelt down, bowing her head apologetically, and said, "Your Majesty, it was my fault for indulging in pleasure. Please punish me..."
At this moment, Qin Chuan's favorite person was Jiang Yao, so how could he possibly blame her?
He hurriedly told her to get up, but seeing Xiao Yue's angry face, he lightly flicked his hand and said, "You can go out first."
All the women understood what he meant; he wanted to talk to Xiao Yue alone.
As the women left, Jiang Lianyue turned back to look at Xiao Yue before closing the door.
Inside the room, only Qin Chuan and Xiao Yue remained.
Qin Chuan looked at Xiao Yue. Her demeanor and temperament at this moment had the same cool and elegant feeling he had when he first met her.
"Xiao Yue, why don't you hit me?"
After saying this, Qin Chuan lay weakly on the sofa, spreading his arms wide, his body spread out in a "T" shape. He said with regret, "I don't want to be obsessed with beautiful women. I also want to be a wise and virtuous ruler, but I have too little self-control. I want to cherish every one of my wives..."
Xiao Yue walked over angrily, raised her fist, and wanted to beat him up.
But the moment she saw his face, her heart softened, and she gently punched his chest with her small fist.
"I want to cherish every wife, is that your excuse for deceiving me?"
"Is that your excuse for your debauchery?"
"Who said we were going to create a great and prosperous era? Look at you, you're obsessed with beautiful women all day long. How can you go on like this?"
As Xiao Yue spoke, tears began to fall.
Like beads falling from a broken string, they clattered and tumbled down.
Qin Chuan took Xiao Yue's words to heart and immediately switched to "wise man mode".
"Yes, yes, that's right. There are still a lot of state affairs waiting for me to handle. By the way, Yueyue, I've already put you in the cabinet. You can go to the cabinet for meetings tomorrow."
"you……!"
Xiao Yue gritted her teeth in anger.
After a few seconds, she bit her lip and glared at Qin Chuan: "Who said they would take me to travel around? You have no conscience!"
Qin Chuan was taken aback, shook his head, and sighed. With so many wives, he couldn't remember who he had talked to or what he had said to them...
"Okay, then I'll take you out to play tomorrow."
"real?"
"real."
Seeing that he was serious, Xiao Yue sat down with him on the sofa, gently stroking the corner of his eye, and said with pity, "Let's not do it. You should take care of your health first and stop indulging in lust..."
"If this continues, I'm really worried you won't live long..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan was shocked. It was still his wife Yueyue who cared about him the most!
She was worried not only about his health, but also about his unfinished business.
This is the best kind of supportive wife!
Not only can she help him with government affairs and cases, but she can also care about him in every way. That kind of wife is the best!
Thinking of this, he hugged Xiao Yue and murmured, "Xiao Yue understands me best!"
"Yueyue, you're so kind..."
"Oh dear, you're hugging me so tightly again..."
This time, Xiao Yue didn't try to break free. Instead, she gently patted Qin Chuan's back, slowly wiping away her tears and turning a smile through her sobs.
...
Qin Chuan moved back to the palace.
They also brought Jiang Yao, Jiang Ran, Jiang Lianyue, Su Rushi, and the little princess and her daughter to live in the palace.
Li Aniu was granted the title of a sixth-rank bodyguard with a sword, which allowed him to freely carry weapons and enter and leave the palace, but he was not allowed to enter the inner palace.
The palace was still guarded by the eunuchs who served as imperial bodyguards.
At the same time, they also gave Li Aniu and Li Qiuniang a residence in the inner city. As for promising to find him a wife, he was allowed to choose from among the palace maids, but he complained that the palace maids were all too thin and their buttocks were not big enough...
This matter has had to be delayed again and again.
Su Ruyan suddenly realized that Qin Chuan already had so many women, and felt somewhat lost. That day, she came to Weiyang Palace to talk to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li sighed, "Sigh, not only did he keep it from you, he also kept it from me. He's having an affair with my own sister, but what can I do..."
Su Ruyan sighed, "My eldest sister is just like that, and she's so muddle-headed, insisting on getting involved... How about we reinstate the system of choosing names by name?"
“Sister Ruyan, we’re on the same page. He just loves going to that bitch Jiang Yao. I think it’s a good idea. From now on, we’ll let him choose our concubines.”
"You're in charge of the harem, I'll do whatever you say!"
So the two pregnant empresses began to work together to reorganize the harem.
