Chapter 151 Dare to think today, dare to do tomorrow?
Pei Tingyue shuddered when someone held his neck and warned him in such a cold tone.
But she didn't back down.
She was not afraid of death tonight. She looked straight into the man's angry eyes and shook his clothes. "Your Majesty, just tell me. I am curious."
"Curious?" Xie Chen was so angry that he laughed. The sadness in his eyes was not concealed. "Tingyue, believe me, you don't want to know."
Pei Tingyue bit her lip: "But I want to know."
Xie Chen looked at the light in her eyes and was silent for a while.
Then he slightly tightened the hand that was pinching the back of her neck, pushed her towards him, and whispered something in her ear.
Hearing this, Pei Tingyue's eyes suddenly widened.
His thoughts...
It's really dirty...
Chains? Watching the pleasure? Day and night?
even…
Pei Tingyue shook her head, quickly clearing these images from her mind. She placed Xie Chen's large palm on her face and said very obediently, "What I just said were all hypothetical. The Emperor is so kind, how could I have any other thoughts?"
Xie Chen stroked her delicate little face with his fingertips, and gently touched the red mole under her eye, trying to smile. "But I see that Tingyue is very bold. If she dares to think this way today, she will dare to do it tomorrow, right?"
Pei Tingyue's scalp tingled when he looked at her.
She whimpered and moved to kiss him, but he moved away.
"I know I was wrong..."
Xie Chen smiled slightly: "If you weren't pregnant, you would have ended up like that now."
Pei Tingyue shut up immediately and stood there stiffly, not daring to move.
Finished.
This person has reached his bottom line.
It's so scary just to ask.
If that's true...
He was afraid that he was really going crazy.
Xie Chen looked at her pitiful appearance, suppressed the fierceness in his eyes, and spoke in a softer tone, "Now, Tingyue, are you still curious?"
Pei Tingyue nodded.
Xie Chen narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, and was about to teach her a lesson.
The woman grabbed his sleeve and asked, "I am curious about another question."
"What?"
Pei Tingyue said against her will: "I am curious, are your lips cold or hot?"
She didn't want to know at all.
But it was obvious that this person was angry, and she had to coax him.
After she said that, Xie Chen's anger disappeared and he turned his face away without saying anything.
Pei Tingyue understood.
This is promised.
She hooked her arms around his neck and moved closer.

Yuzhao Palace.
Concubine Wen was instructing the palace maids to clean up the bedroom.
"Go and find the brocade quilt with precious floral patterns that the Empress was awarded at that time."
"Also, find the set of lotus-patterned jade cups that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent me when I was promoted that year. Use them now."
"This charcoal basket is not hot anymore. Add some more silver charcoal."
“…”
In the past, Wen Jieyu was a very contented person who was happy with everything. But now, looking at the furnishings, she feels that nothing is right.
Her trusted palace maid Meixiang came over, helped her sit down with a smile, and poured her a cup of tea.
"Jieyu has been talking for a while, let's take a break."
Wen Jieyu took it and put it on the table without drinking it. She had just passed by and her eyes were red, and she could not hide her joy at this moment.
Concubine Wen's gaze almost penetrated the palace door.
"Meixiang, when do you think the Highness will arrive?"
Meixiang smiled and said, "It's getting late. If we come tonight, it should be quick. Or maybe we won't come tonight, but come early tomorrow morning."
Wen Jieyu nodded shyly: "Yes, yes, I was too impatient."
Meixiang didn't laugh at this, but at something else: "Now that Jieyu is the eldest prince's mother, there's no need to call her Your Highness Your Highness. You can just call her by his name, which is more approachable."
Under Meixiang's encouraging gaze, Wen Jieyu stammered, "Yu...Yu Qi?"
Meixiang nodded heavily.
Wen Jieyu tried calling a few more times.
This made Meixiang cry.
Wen Jieyu looked at her crying, feeling somewhat bewildered: "Why are you crying?"
Meixiang used a handkerchief to hold back the tears from her eyes and trembled as she said, "I am so happy for you, Concubine. I am crying with joy. You have endured for so many years, and now you finally have something to look forward to."
Wen Jieyu responded and lowered her eyes.
"I'm very happy to have him. But he just lost his mother, so he might not be able to accept me."
Seeing this, Meixiang hurriedly comforted her: "Time reveals a person's true character. Concubine Jieyu has always treated His Highness well. Over time, His Highness will feel it and will accept you as his mother."
Wen Jieyu smiled again: "You are right."
After sitting quietly for a while, she got up and went to the bedroom.
Opened the secret compartment.
There are several carved boxes in the secret compartment.
Gold and silver ingots were neatly placed inside.
Part of it was the reward she received for serving the emperor for nearly ten years.
Many people received the award, including the late Emperor's Empress Li, the Queen Mother Qin, the Emperor, the Empress, and several concubines.
Another part is her monthly salary.
There was nothing lacking in the palace, and she had no place to spend money, so she had saved up about several thousand taels of silver by now.
Wen Jieyu took out a large silver ingot and some small change and handed them to Meixiang: "Go to the kitchen and ask for two plates of snacks."
Meixiang looked at the fifty or sixty taels of silver in her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Jieyu, you won't need so much. It's just two plates of snacks. Even if you don't give me money, the kitchen will give me some."
Wen Jieyu said sternly, "Except for the money for these two plates of snacks, you take care of the rest."
In the past, the concubine's meals were already very good, and she didn't have a strong appetite, so she didn't ask the kitchen for anything.
But things will be different from now on. She will have a new child here, and she will have to raise him carefully.
I've taken care of the kitchen so that I can have some food in the future.
Meixiang was a bit clever and understood her intention in an instant. "I understand. I'll go to the kitchen and take care of it right away."
Wen Jieyu nodded and instructed again, "The snacks should be delicate and easy to digest."
"yes."
About a quarter of an hour later, Meixiang came back with a food box. From a distance, she saw a figure standing in front of the palace gate.
As she got closer, who else could it be but Wen Jieyu?
Meixiang was shocked: "Jieyu, why are you standing here? You will freeze to death soon!"
"Go into the hall first, or your heart will get cold." Wen Jieyu urged, then explained, "A young eunuch just came and said Yu Qi was about to arrive, so I came out to greet him."
Meixiang had no choice but to go into the hall, put down the food box, and then go out with the cloak in her arms.
As soon as it was tied on Concubine Wen, a faint light flashed on the palace road in the distance.
Wen Jieyu didn't dare to move, even her breathing slowed down, "Meixiang, look."
Meixiang then looked up and saw him. She smiled and said, "It must be the Highness coming down!"
The master and servants waited until the sedan finally landed in front of the palace gate. Concubine Wen personally opened the curtains and extended her hand, her voice filled with anticipation, "Yuqi, come down."
The eldest prince sat in the sedan chair, staring at the thin white hand for a long time without holding it. Instead, he covered the thing on his chest and got off the sedan chair by himself.
Seeing him get out of the sedan chair, the woman in front of him called out to him timidly.
The eldest prince lowered his head and asked, "Where is the bedroom?"
Concubine Wen hurriedly led him into the palace and let him warm up in front of the charcoal basket. She took the initiative to say, "I am Concubine Wen. I will take care of you from now on."
The eldest prince hummed and said nothing more.
Wen Jieyu froze there, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, she remembered the cakes and brought them over herself. "This cake is delicious. Would you like to try some, Yuqi?"
The eldest prince shook his head and said stiffly, "I want to go to bed."
"good."
Wen Jieyu immediately put down the box in her hand, took him to the bedroom, and asked him to take off his clothes. "It's getting late, Yuqi, go to bed."
The eldest prince lay in the warm quilt, looking at the woman who was still guarding the bed. After a long while, he finally said, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Wen Jieyu shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm not sleepy yet, Yuqi, go to sleep."
The eldest prince closed his eyes and said nothing more.
He originally thought that he would not be able to sleep, just like the previous few nights, when the moment he closed his eyes he would see his mother.
Unexpectedly, I fell asleep very quickly.
Wen Jieyu looked at his sleeping face and said softly to Meixiang, "He looks so good. He looks like the emperor and also like Concubine Shunzhen."
Meixiang nodded, "Yes, she may look like Jieyu in the future. I heard that even if they are not biological mother and son, they will grow similarities after spending time together."
Wen Jieyu laughed, and as she laughed she started to cry.
