Chapter 226 Happy Things
After staying in Prince Xuan's mansion for a while, the emperor and his wife returned to the palace.
Xie Chen said, "Follow me back to Chengming Palace."
Pei Tingyue thought about it.
Xiao Si is at home with Yun Zheng and Yun Shu looking after him, so he feels relieved.
Besides, it was already late at night, so she shouldn't go back to the palace.
Thinking of this, Pei Tingyue responded, "Okay."
Because he was just contaminated with the smell of blood, Pei Tingyue went to the side hall to take a bath.
Halfway through washing, Xie Chen came in.
There were flower petals on the water surface. Pei Tingyue didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she walked over, hooked her arms around his neck, and asked, "Why is the emperor here?"
Xie Chen's large hands caressed her smooth back, his eyes dark and unclear. "It's getting late, and I can't sleep for much longer. I might as well do something joyful and enjoyable."
Pei Tingyue's back felt numb as he touched her, and she almost couldn't stand. She tried her best to steady her voice, "Tomorrow morning, I have to pay my respects to you."
Xie Chen whispered, "Don't bother Tingyue."
"Then the Emperor also said, do something happy?"
Xie Chen chuckled and bit her white jade earlobe, "You can still have happiness and joy without tormenting Tingyue."
He pulled Pei Tingyue's wrist and kissed her wrist bone, implicitly expressing his meaning.
Pei Tingyue was about to reply.
But he suddenly frowned: "How did this happen?"
Pei Tingyue was confused and followed his gaze. She saw a terrifying purple fingerprint on her fair and delicate wrist.
Pei Tingyue felt some pain when he saw it, and touched it.
"It seems that when the princess was giving birth just now, I accidentally squeezed her and that's why she became like this."
"Why don't you pay attention to yourself?"
Xie Chen gave her a reproachful look, carried her out of the bath, put another piece of clothing on her, and took her back to the bedroom.
Under the bright candlelight, she was given medicine.
Now we can’t do the happy thing anymore.
Xie Chen held her in his arms and talked to her on the couch.
Pei Tingyue yawned and said, "When the princess gave birth just now, I saw blood all over the bed, which reminded me of my own childbirth. Wouldn't the emperor feel uncomfortable when he saw it?"
Xie Chen hugged her tightly, smiled bitterly and said, "Uncomfortable? At that time, I only had one emotion, and that was fear, and I was scared to death."
The person who is lively and bright in the morning and acts coquettishly towards you may lie there dying at night. How can you not be afraid?
Pei Tingyue felt a pang of sadness when she heard this. "What was the emperor thinking at that time?"
Xie Chen gently blew on the drier ointment on her wrist and said, "I can't lose Tingyue."
Pei Tingyue's eyelashes trembled slightly. She wanted to ask what he would do if she really went there that time.
In the end, she didn't dare to ask, for she was afraid that the love was too heavy and she would be at a loss.
Pei Tingyue nestled in his arms, inhaling his faint fragrance and saying, "I cannot lose the emperor either."
A smile flashed across Xie Chen's eyes, and he said seriously, "Then let's all be good, not put ourselves in danger, and walk hand in hand for the rest of our lives."
Pei Tingyue joked, "When I'm old and no longer pretty, Your Majesty, will you still be with me for the rest of my life?"
Xie Chen lowered his eyes and looked at her: "I heard that Yue Lao is still beautiful. In my heart, she will always be beautiful."
Pei Tingyue's smile deepened, and she changed the subject to test the waters, "What if I become vicious?"
Xie Chen paused and asked, "Becoming vicious? Do you still like me?"
Pei Tingyue nodded: "My love for the Emperor remains unchanged. It's just that his personality has changed. Has he become spoiled by his favor and is now torturing and harming his concubines?"
Xie Chen said without hesitation: "It's okay."
Pei Tingyue looked up at him: "Are you okay?"
Xie Chen said softly, "As long as Tingyue likes me, it doesn't matter if she's vicious. I'll take all the blame and sins on Tingyue."
This is really too much of a spoiled thing.
But Pei Tingyue knew that he was not joking, but serious.
Her heart felt warm.
Kissed him.
"I will not change, Your Majesty, and you don't have to worry about me."
Xie Chen touched her smooth black hair.
The heat in Pei Tingyue's heart did not dissipate.
She smiled slyly and had an idea.
Pei Tingyue reached out and pushed him down, then sat on his waist, saying in an ambiguous tone, "It's still early, let's do something fun, it doesn't matter if we get tired."

The news that Prince Xuan had a son, including the news that Concubine Chen had given the prince a name, quickly spread to the harem.
Those who don’t understand can only sigh at the glory of the prince.
Those who can see clearly are surprised at the relationship between Concubine Chen and King Xuan.
You must know that King Xuan does not belong to any faction in the court and only obeys the emperor.
The second prince's biological mother, Concubine Xie, tried to win him over but failed.
Now that he has a good relationship with the imperial concubine, can we assume that Prince Xuan is of the lineage of the Fourth Prince?
Yichun Palace.
After coaxing the second prince to sleep, Xie Xiuyi sat on the couch with a gloomy face.
The maid Lan Hui, her personal maid, sent a servant to serve tea. "Your Majesty, calm down."
Xie Xiuyi slammed the tea down on the coffee table and sneered, "What a King Xuan!"
No matter how his cousin tried to bribe him in the past, it was unsuccessful. She originally gave up because she didn't want to get involved in the fight for the throne.
Unexpectedly, he looked down on the Second Prince and turned to the Fourth Prince.
Lan Hui pondered for a moment and said cautiously, "This may not be what Prince Xuan wants. Perhaps it's the Emperor's wish. Otherwise, why would they ignore our noble Second Prince and support the Fourth Prince, who comes from a humble family and only has our mother favored?"
Xie Xiuyi closed her eyes: "No matter what, King Xuan is ultimately hostile to us."
Lan Hui stepped forward and massaged her shoulders. "In the Fourth Prince's lineage, only Prince Xuan is of some interest. Compared to our royal family, he's still not as impressive. Please be at ease, Your Majesty."
Xie Xiuyi sneered, "Yes, we can't just focus on the Fourth Prince. Who in this palace is easy to deal with? Wen Zhaoyuan may be keeping her composure, but in the battle for the crown prince, the majority of the courtiers in the previous dynasty support the First Prince, while our Second Prince is in the minority. And then there's the Third Prince. His maternal family, the Li family, has also been making frequent moves recently, and I'm afraid they can't hold back anymore."
Lan Hui gently comforted her, "The princes are still so young. Whoever is more proud or favored now is only temporary and not worth taking to heart. When they grow up, who wins the hearts of the people and who has the most power will also be judged by their qualifications. These are what are important."
Xie Xiuyi narrowed her eyes and said, "No matter who it is, I will eliminate them one by one. The only one who can finally ascend to that position is Yuchuan."
