Chapter 247 Rewarding Liang Yao
After a moment of silence, Xie Chen opened his thin lips and said, "Next time, there will never be such an accident again."
Pei Tingyue certainly knew why.
He has already taken the sterilization medicine, so there will be no accidents.
He did so much for her but said nothing, and he even compromised for her and was willing to keep the child.
It's impossible not to be touched in the heart.
Pei Tingyue's eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings. Her voice was hoarse as she promised, "This is the last time I will act willfully."
After hearing this, Xie Chen sighed, took a step forward and hugged her in his arms, "No need, here with me, you can be as willful as you want, I will spoil you."
Pei Tingyue's heart was pounding when he heard this.
She knew that he would really do what he said.
Pei Tingyue suppressed her turbulent thoughts and raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, if you do this, you will really spoil me."
Xie Chen responded and whispered, "I'm deliberately spoiling you and making you even more dependent on me. Isn't that good?"
Pei Tingyue blinked her moist eyes and said, "There's no need for this. I can't leave the emperor anymore."
"Okay." Xie Chen was delighted, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he touched her little face again, "You've lost some weight. It's my fault. I made you sad these days."
Pei Tingyue shook her head: "I know that the emperor made all the decisions for my own good. The emperor has lost weight, and I feel very distressed when I see him."
She wasn't joking when she said this.
It really makes me feel sad.
After all, she was sincere in this relationship. If there was sincerity, then there would definitely be emotional fluctuations.
It hurts to see him drinking, it hurts to see him crying, it hurts to see him vomiting blood, and it also hurts to know that he took the contraceptive drug.
Pei Tingyue found that this man was increasingly able to stir up trouble for her.
Reason told her that this was enough, two points of sincerity were enough, and she should stop in time, but in fact, she really couldn't control it.
Maybe he was too nice, or maybe she was really lonely, so she indulged in it and kept giving more sincerity.
There was love in both of their eyes, and it was unclear who took the first move, but they were kissing each other.
Pei Tingyue stopped quickly.
Xie Chen opened his sharp eyes and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Pei Tingyue said sarcastically, "Noble Concubine Chen doesn't want to kiss anymore."
Being moved is being moved, holding a grudge is holding a grudge, one thing at a time.
But she still remembered that day when he coldly called her "Noble Concubine Chen", and that look was really infuriating.
So once they made peace, she naturally had to settle the score.
Xie Chen: “…”
Pei Tingyue struggled: "Noble Concubine Chen doesn't want to hug me anymore."
Xie Chen had no choice but to admit his mistake: "It's my fault. I said the wrong thing."
Pei Tingyue snorted coldly.
Xie Chen lowered his head and touched her lips, "Please forgive me, okay?"
Pei Tingyue said arrogantly: "Noble Concubine Chen doesn't want to forgive."
“…” Xie Chen promised, “I will never say that again next time.”
Pei Tingyue raised her eyebrows: "It's like this when things are going well. If something happens on the other side and the emperor gets angry and calls me Concubine Chen again, I can't stand it."
Xie Chen laughed: "I really won't say anything more. Even if I'm angry, I'll call her Tingyue. How about calling her my beloved concubine?"
Pei Tingyue withdrew from his arms and deliberately said, "Noble Concubine Chen doesn't agree!"
Xie Chen smiled slightly and pressed forward step by step.
Pei Tingyue bluffed: "Don't be rude to Concubine Chen!"
Xie Chen caught her and leaned over to cover her mouth.
The only sound left in the bedroom was the sound of water mixing.
Liang Yao was just coming in to report something, but when he saw this, he smiled and left.
That’s great.
The emperor and his concubine reconciled, and their lives became easier from then on.
*
The pregnancy issue has been going on for more than half a month, and it is almost the end of the first month of the lunar year. Fortunately, apart from the snow disaster in Kyoto, there have been no other major events this year.
Xie Chen set a date and officially started writing on the first day of February.
He did not let Pei Tingyue leave, explaining that there would be big moves in the court after the New Year and new policies would be implemented, so he would be busy.
If Pei Tingyue returned to Chengning Palace, the two might not be able to meet every day.
Pei Tingyue refused.
She had to deal with palace affairs, so it was inconvenient for her to stay in Chengming Palace.
Moreover, she will have some big moves in the harem in the near future, which will make her even busier. She will be summoning people frequently, so it would be better for her to return to Chengning Palace.
When Xie Chen learned that Pei Tingyue would not stay here, he was a little reluctant. Pei Tingyue kept coaxing him, and after a few days, he finally coaxed him.
During the last few days of the month, the two of them took advantage of their free time and stuck together every day.
Xie Chen also assigned Xia Yuanpan to Pei Tingyue, asking Xia Yuanpan and Ning Yuanpan to take care of the fetus together, and he himself fed Pei Tingyue the medicine for fetal health on time every day, not daring to slack off at all.
Pei Tingyue looked at his frightened expression and felt that he was very pitiful and distressing, so she showed her patience and comforted him tirelessly, which helped to calm him down and he was no longer as anxious and worried as before.
The 30th day of the first lunar month.
This night was Pei Tingyue's last night in Chengming Palace.
She discussed with Xie Chen, "A few days ago, the Emperor and I had a quarrel, and Steward Liang had to mediate between us, which was very difficult. The last time I came to Chengming Palace to comfort the Emperor, it was Steward Liang who came looking for me, so I thought of giving him some reward."
Xie Chen nodded slowly: "I have thought about this as well."
Although he was shocked when Liang Yao disobeyed him that day, he calmed down afterwards and understood that Liang Yao was not disobeying orders, but chose the best option for him in order to reconcile with Tingyue.
It's time to reward him.
Pei Tingyue frowned slightly: "General Manager Liang has served the emperor for many years, and he should have no shortage of gold and silver. Your Majesty, please think about what reward you should give General Manager Liang..."
Liang Yao, who was standing guard at the door of the bedroom and listening attentively, said: "..."
No.
No, no, no.
Please, be sure to give him gold and silver, he really needs it!
Xie Chen was simple and rude, and he called Liang Yao over directly. "This time, the reconciliation between me and the imperial concubine is due to your contribution. Is there anything you want?"
Liang Yao knelt below and said flatteringly, "This is my duty. I am willing to go through fire and water for the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."
Xie Chen thought for a moment and offered a generous reward: "Behind Zhuque Street in Kyoto, there is a mansion with five courtyards. It was once the residence of an old marquis. I have never given it to anyone since I acquired it. I will send a few people to renovate it and give it to you as a place to spend your remaining years."
Liang Yao was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes and he kowtowed deeply, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xie Chen nodded, turned around and asked Pei Tingyue, "Is his godson, the one named Liang An, working in your palace?"
Pei Tingyue smiled faintly: "Yes, I asked him to look after Xiao Si. Now he is the one who takes care of all the affairs of Yu Zhou in Wenhua Palace."
Now, the eunuch in charge of Xiao Si is Liang An, and the palace maid in charge is Yun Zheng. However, since they live in the same place, Yun Zheng takes care of them and they are not separated too much.
The post of the eunuch in charge of her was taken by Liang Fu. Liang Fu had worked with Liang An for many years and was very reliable and did his job in a very thorough manner.
Xie Chen said: "Yu Zhou's side is a good place to be. In this case, I will not mention his position."
Eunuchs also held official positions. For example, Liang Yao's Grand Steward was the highest-ranking official in the palace, a third-rank official, the highest in the entire palace.
Under Liang Yao were the chief stewards of the empress dowager, the chief stewards of the queen, and the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, all of whom were of the third rank.
As for Liang An, he originally followed Pei Tingyue. The imperial concubine's steward was of the fourth rank, while the princes and princesses' steward was of the fifth rank, which was considered a downgrade.
But in the future, when the prince is conferred the title of prince, the steward beside him will be of the fourth rank, in charge of the affairs of the whole government. Although Xiao Si is still young now, it is only a matter of time before he is conferred the title of prince, and in a few years, he will get his position back.
Moreover, if he stayed with Xiao Si, he might reach the highest position, so Liang An was not unwilling. Instead, he was very grateful to Pei Tingyue.
Xie Chen paused for a moment, then said to Liang Yao calmly, "I remember you said at that time that you wanted to find a wife for Liang An?"
Liang Yao said: "Although... although people like me and An'er are disabled, I am also a father, and secretly hope that there is a girl who can take care of my son..."
Xie Chen raised his hand: "You don't need to say more, I know all these things. So, this is something that hasn't been found yet?"
Liang Yao smiled bitterly.
He is willing, but his own rebellious son is unwilling. What can he do?
This unfilial son also said that if his family got married, it would only be to his godmother.
When he heard this, he almost died of anger.
There was no other way, so the matter has been shelved until today.
"Your Majesty, perhaps An'er's fate has not yet arrived."
Xie Chen stood up and called for something to be brought over. He handed it to Liang Yao, "This is the ruby-red, gold-begonia tassel hairpin that Empress Li used to wear on her head. Take it. Consider it a gift from me to bring her happiness."
Once the queen wore it, the preciousness of this hairpin is self-evident!
Liang Yao's eyes were red, and he took the tassel hairpin with both hands, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."
Xie Chen waved his hand, his brows softening. "Alright, go down and clean up quickly, or else you, the chief steward, will be laughed at."
