Chapter 155 The Sweet Daily Life of the Emperor and His Concubine 1
That is the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.
Even though Empress Cui was exempted from paying respects yesterday, many concubines still came to Fenghe Palace, including Concubine Jiang Shu.
After paying their respects, the concubines entertained the Second Prince Yuchuan in the palace, and their thoughts were self-evident.
Some concubines secretly tested the Empress's thoughts.
Queen Cui was very careful and sent them away.
All the concubines returned disappointed, secretly hoping that this great luck would befall them.
The second day is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Early in the morning, the imperial kitchen served various kinds of porridge.
Xie Chen wasn't particularly fond of this, but Pei Tingyue was very interested. She tried each one and finally pointed to a bowl of chestnut and yellow rice porridge and said, "This is delicious. I want to drink this."
Xie Chen glanced at her and said calmly, "You know how to order me around."
When others dined with him, except the empress, they would serve him their meals before they could eat.
She was different, not only did she not serve him, she even ordered him to serve her. He was willing to serve her, but she had become more and more spoiled recently, even having to feed her porridge one spoonful at a time.
Xie Chen was willing to indulge her, but everything had its limits and he didn't want her to act lawless.
Pei Tingyue said pamperedly: "Then will the emperor allow me to serve you?"
Xie Chen looked at her steadily.
Pei Tingyue pouted, brought the bowl of porridge over, and whispered: "Okay, okay, I can drink it by myself. Although one hand is still injured, the other hand can still move, so I can drink it with some effort."
She picked up the spoon, stirred the porridge, blew a sip and put it into her mouth. During this time, she glanced at Xie Chen, then pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Xie Chen sat aside and watched.
Although her actions were perfectly normal, he saw something extremely pitiful in them.
Xie Chen sighed in his heart.
Let it be lawless.
He just has to bear it.
He reached out and brought the chestnut porridge over, scooped a spoonful, blew on it, and placed it next to Pei Tingyue's lips, saying helplessly, "Open your mouth."
Pei Tingyue's eyebrows curved and she took a sip, "What the emperor feeds me is sweeter than what I drink myself!"
"nonsense."
Having said that, Xie Chen's lips curled up slightly.
Pei Tingyue gave enough emotional value: "Sweet! Sweet! Sweet!"
Xie Chen listened, a smile overflowing from his eyes, "Drink it quickly, it will get cold soon."
Pei Tingyue smiled sweetly and started drinking from his hand.
After breakfast, the two went to the warm room, took off their shoes and got on the bed.
Xie Chen had a day off today, and apart from the palace banquet in the evening, he had most of the day to spend with her.
He asked someone to bring ointment and slowly untied the white silk on Pei Tingyue's hand. The wound was half healed and new pink flesh had already grown out.
Xie Chen washed his hands and gently applied medicine to her.
Pei Tingyue looked at the wound and curled her lips: "Ugly."
Xie Chen raised his eyes, looked at her face full of disgust, paused, and whispered, "It won't be ugly when the wound heals."
"Your Majesty is lying!" Pei Tingyue's face wrinkled. "I asked the Ning Court judge, and he said that I'm pregnant, so even if it's a topical medication, the strength can't be too strong. So, he only added half of the scar removal powder, and it's very likely that it will leave scars in the end!"
Xie Chen applied the medicine to her, slowly wrapped it with new white silk, and kissed the back of her hand again, comforting her, "No, I will carefully apply the medicine to you every day, and you will be well soon. Don't worry about those things."
Pei Tingyue didn't listen at all. She held her cheek with her other hand and complained, "If I really get a scar, the emperor will dislike it when he sees it..."
Xie Chen pulled her face, not letting her continue, "Since you are so free, then I will test you on the national history you read yesterday."
Pei Tingyue immediately covered her mouth.
She moved closer little by little until her body was pressed against Xie Chen's arm, then she smiled ingratiatingly, "Can you let me review for a while longer?"
Xie Chen immediately gave the answer: "No."
Pei Tingyue's eyebrows drooped.
Xie Chen said bluntly: "There's no point in pretending to be pitiful."
Pei Tingyue stopped pretending.
She took a deep breath and said with a fearless attitude, "Your Majesty, please ask."
Xie Chen picked a simple one: "The five major surnames of Daqi."
Pei Tingyue counted on her fingers and said, "Xie, Cui, Zheng, Song, and... and..."
Pei Tingyue couldn't remember the last one at all. She frowned. She clearly remembered it yesterday, so why couldn't she remember it today?
The royal Xie family, under which there are two other aristocratic families, the Qinghe Cui family and the Xingyang Zheng family, two major military generals, the Northern Frontier Song family, and the Southern Yi... What family is the Southern Yi family?
Pei Tingyue thought hard for a long time, but she couldn't think of anything. She gave up and said directly, "I forgot."
"You forgot and are still so confident?" Xie Chen gritted his teeth slightly, "You thought I wouldn't punish you, right?"
Pei Tingyue's heart tightened.
What?
Didn’t you say this?
Will I be punished if I can’t answer?
"How does Your Majesty punish me?"
Pei Tingyue soon found out.
A clear "pop" sound rang out in the warm room.
In fact, the force is not great, it is just a sound.
But what he did made Pei Tingyue's face turn red instantly and her whole body was steaming.
She shrank into the corner like a kitten with its fur standing on end, covering her buttocks, and her shame reached its peak.
How could this person be like this!
She's already this old, and still...
“You…you…”
Her lips trembled and she even forgot the honorific.
Xie Chen didn't care about her disrespect and only asked, "Have you learned your lesson this time?"
Pei Tingyue was extremely angry.
I stayed in the corner for a long time.
In the end, she stood up angrily, took out the national history that she had not finished reading yesterday, and placed it between the two of them.
"Look! I want to test the emperor too!"
Xie Chen agreed: "Okay."
The two of them read for more than an hour and finally finished reading the history of their country.
After closing the book, the two asked each other questions.
Xie Chen was fine, but Pei Tingyue was slapped again.
Now he completely curled up in the couch and couldn't get out.
Xie Chen coaxed the person for a long time before finally getting him to go have lunch.
During the afternoon rest, Pei Tingyue climbed onto the dragon bed first and slept at the innermost part.
Looking at Xie Chen who was eight thousand miles away from them: "..."
He closed his eyes calmly.
Pei Tingyue wanted to piss him off, but she didn't expect him to fall asleep straight away. She was so disappointed that she couldn't hold on any longer and went to meet Zhou Gong.
Feeling the soft body that was unconsciously and slowly leaning towards him, Xie Chen raised the corners of his lips, hugged the person, and fell into a deep sleep.
Slept for most of the hour.
As soon as Pei Tingyue opened her eyes, she felt someone holding her.
She was about to accuse.
After a closer look, I found that the man had not moved, but had rolled over from inside by himself.
It was as if she was throwing herself into his arms.
Now, Pei Tingyue couldn't say anything.
She looked at the golden bed curtains and vowed to get back at them.
