Yang Shuxuan fainted. Fortunately, there were not many people serving in front of the emperor in Chengming Palace at that time. An Yi moved very quickly and almost no one saw it clearly. Ye An then made up a story that Concubine Yang fainted on her own and was rescued by his guards.
Yang Shuxuan did not expect that the emperor would lie with his eyes open. After waking up, he even took the initiative to apologize to Ye An. Ye An solemnly summoned the imperial physician for him. He asked the eunuch to help Concubine Yang to rest. When the empress dowager heard about it, she said that Yang Shuxuan was in poor health and was not allowed to sleep with the emperor for three months. She added another two months and asked Concubine Yang to concentrate on recuperating and not to leave Chengming Palace. Ye An always felt that the empress dowager was not being sympathetic, but rather putting Concubine Yang in solitary confinement.
Ye An generously gave An Yi, who had made great contributions this time, a chicken leg. The real thing, but An Yi had to go to the imperial kitchen to get it himself, and he could also bring him one by the way. It’s not that Ye An didn’t have sincerity. If he ran to the imperial kitchen just for a mere chicken leg, the Queen Mother would probably make sure there would be no more chicken legs in the palace from then on.
An Yi quickly lived up to expectations and brought chicken legs. While eating the chicken leg, Ye An was thinking about what to do next. An Yi and Li Yao, one a secret guard and the other a personal eunuch, are relatively trustworthy, but most of the time they just obey his orders and cannot make decisions for him. Everyone in the palace is watching his pregnancy, and he can't find anyone suitable to discuss countermeasures with. He originally wanted to rely on the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was in a high position with great power and she had many tricks up her sleeve. The matter of Xiao Jinzhu had many twists and turns, and Ye An was not very confident now. Before he got a clear idea of the Queen Mother's pulse, he couldn't trust her too much, but he couldn't offend the Queen Mother easily either.
The palace is complicated, and even as an emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants. In the previous dynasty, there were three dukes who even the emperor had to give way to, and in the harem there were several concubines who had to be kept stable at all costs. Ye An secretly complained about the empress dowager's personality, which was really overbearing. No wonder his original body had conflicts with the empress dowager.
The original body is indeed not easy. Ye An was chewing on a chicken leg and thinking that things were not going well for him now. Fortunately, the original body left behind a secret guard. With this amulet, he doesn't have to be passive all the time. He has to familiarize himself with the palace as soon as possible. Not wanting to have a child is a long-term battle. He has to subdue all the male concubines first before thinking about other things.
Finally, he finished eating the chicken leg and concluded that the palace chicken leg was too small and not enough to eat.
He began to wander around the palace, observing this quaint world. When he met male concubines, he was no longer panicked. Sometimes, he would study the methods of the male concubines with ulterior motives.
For example, Li Guiji has a polite personality, and Ye An often "encounters" her by chance everywhere. His humble background means that he can only use these to attract the emperor's attention. Soups, medicinal foods, and things that other male concubines disdain to fiddle with have become Li Guiji's specialty. He has a pair of gentle eyes, which express his silent persistence. Maybe in modern times, he would be a considerate boyfriend, but Ye An felt that too much tenderness was also a kind of compulsion.
Concubine Qiao is straightforward and honest, except that she acts like a domineering boss when she goes too far. She is a decent person with some integrity. Concubine Yang is a seductress who spares no effort to seduce people. An Yi has found out that the fine wine prepared for the emperor that day in Chengming Palace contained a strong aphrodisiac. If Concubine Yang had not been knocked unconscious, no one knows what would have happened. However, Yang Shuxuan cannot leave Chengming Palace for the moment, so Ye An doesn’t have to pay attention to him for at least some time.
Ye An was roughly familiar with the other concubines. There were so many positions in the harem that it would be easy to get confused if there were too many. So Ye An first remembered the ones he met frequently and had high positions. Li Yao said that there were also many male concubines whom he had never even seen. Although the emperor claimed to have three thousand beauties in the harem, not all of them were favored. Otherwise, how could there be such a thing as a favored concubine in the harem?
The original body's favorite concubine should have been Noble Consort Su. The young boy Ye An who traveled through time was afraid of having children, and in fact he never really favored anyone. Therefore, there is no favorite concubine in the harem now. Everyone is in order according to their positions, and the empress dowager is also quite satisfied.
Ye An sometimes wondered, if he also had a favorite concubine, would it mean that he only had to compete with her in wits and courage and no longer had to care about other concubines?
After all, the original body was the same.
This idea is a bit strange, but it is difficult to find a candidate. Safety is the most important thing. Ye An doesn't think that he would be willing to have a child for someone. Then he can only find a concubine who is disgusting to him and has no interest in him, but is just used for show, commonly known as a shield.
Are there such weirdos in the harem?
With this question in mind, while meeting many male concubines, Ye An actually discovered that there was a concubine who was always cold and indifferent to him. She stood out among a group of enthusiastic male concubines.
"Li Yao, who... is he?"
Ye An raised his chin and pointed at the person who was sitting alone on a stone bench in the imperial garden reading a book. Ever since this person saluted him, he has never looked at him straight in the eye again. Even when he saluted, he looked reluctant.
But Ye An couldn't help but look at him. This person had rare gray hair, ice-blue eyes, fair skin, and a high nose bridge. If he hadn't continued to say the same thing as he said, Ye An would have thought that this was an elf who had fallen into the mortal world.
"Your Majesty, this is Shunpin. She was a prince of Yuluo before entering the palace. Yuluo surrendered to Wei since the last emperor. Every ruler of Yuluo would send a prince to the palace as a concubine."
It turned out that this was a little prince of a foreign race. Ye An was much more insightful than when he first arrived. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that the original body had given him the title Shun, which meant submission.
Shunpin's surname was Yelu and her given name was Han, which was quite consistent with her icy personality. Ye An felt that Yelu Han could be used as a shield, after all, he seemed to have no interest in him at all.
Ye An took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "Shunpin, what book are you reading?"
Yelu Han glanced at him coldly and said, "Your Majesty, don't waste your time. I am different from others. I will not try to please others. I am here only for Yuluo Country. No matter how much Your Majesty says, I will not treat you differently."
Ye An: “…”
This cold-faced little prince didn't even use the term "minister" and still thought that he had taken a fancy to him and wanted to force him. What a big tone!
To be exact, the young Ye An just wanted to find a partner, not a high-class flower who looked down on him. He immediately lost interest in the conversation: "You misunderstood, I am purely curious, you can continue reading your book."
Yelu Han paused, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to play hard to get. Anyway, I have entered the palace. If you want me to serve you, just tell me directly."
After saying that, he put down the book, raised his chin, and his face was full of "You can get my body, but you can't get my heart."
Ye An hit a big snag and suddenly had the urge to vomit. Could it be that the little prince had lost his mind and thought that the emperor was begging him to fuck him?
I think you are playing hard to get!
"Shunpin, don't worry, I really don't like you, whatever you think."
Ye An spoke the truth in one breath, and gestured to Li Yao with a sneer, saying that he would resolutely avoid Shunpin wherever she was from now on, and he didn't want to see this brainless little prince who felt so good about himself anymore.
Ye An turned and left. Yelu Han made him very angry. After Li Yao questioned Ye An, he called for singing and dancing in the Xuande Hall, hoping to make Ye An feel better.
Ye An had been secretly looking forward to the singing and dancing for a long time. He heard that the Flying Dance was very famous in the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't know how the singing and dancing in the Wei Dynasty were. But when the dancers entered the hall, Ye An was completely stunned.
There were no women, and the men were responsible for dancing in the Wei Imperial Palace. Yes, what if the emperor suddenly felt like favoring her?
Ye An looked at the men's powerful and muscular figures, and suddenly collapsed on the dragon throne inlaid with gold and gems, cursing softly.
I was just watching a song and dance, but the whole screen was filled with comments about having children. He knew in his heart that it wasn't the dancers who had problems, but that he had traveled through time and space under the pretext of having a baby, and he had become a little crazy.
"You all should withdraw."
Ye An sighed. This palace was really too depressing. He couldn't relax for even a moment.
After a while, Li Yao came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Fuqing is currently in Changle Palace. The Queen Mother invites you to come over."
Ye An knew that this eldest princess was the eldest sister of her original body and married into the Su family. I had heard from the Queen Mother before that this was the original body trying to elevate the Su family for Su Qinghuai. But the emperor’s status is higher than that of the eldest princess, so why would he ask him to go?
Li Yao said, "The eldest princess gave birth to a son a month ago. Maybe she brought the child into the palace."
Ye An understood. The eldest princess was the eldest sister after all. She was probably not in good health after giving birth. The child was too young and she couldn't run around.
Ye An asked Li Yao to lead the way. Inside Changle Palace, the Queen Mother was already sitting and exchanging a few words with Princess Fuqing. When she saw the emperor coming, the empress dowager smiled and said, "An'er, you are here, come and see your nephew."
The empress dowager was quite satisfied with her well-behaved son after he lost his memory, except for one bad thing. When she heard that her son did not want to have a baby and resisted summoning male concubines to sleep with him, the empress dowager thought that Princess Fuqing, who had a good relationship with the emperor, had just given birth to a child, and the emperor might like his little nephew when he saw him. She suddenly figured it out, so she ordered someone to send a letter to Princess Fuqing. After the full moon, Princess Fuqing brought the child into the palace, and was actually responsible for persuading the emperor.
At Li Yao's reminder, Ye An gently called out "Royal Sister". The eldest princess responded with a smile and led him to look at the small swaddling clothes in her arms.
A sleeping baby was curled up on the eldest princess's chest. He had a face smaller than a palm, with thick hair sticking to his scalp. Since he was born only a month ago, he had not fully grown yet and his skin color was still a little dark.
Ye An thought with disdain, how ugly, why is he different from the fat and white ones he had seen before?
The Queen Mother saw through him at a glance and scolded him with a smile: "All children are like this, they will grow out of it. If you have one in the future, it may be as precious as a pearl."
Ye An's body stiffened, and he realized that the Queen Mother was waiting for him on purpose.
Ye An said vaguely: "I...let's talk about it later..."
To be fair, he didn't hate children, he just hated the process of giving birth. Look at the eldest princess, it has been a month since she gave birth, and her face is still a little swollen and her complexion is pale. How painful it must have been.
Moreover, women and men have different body structures. If he could give birth to the child, he might not be able to keep it later.
The Empress Dowager probably did not expect that asking Princess Fuqing to bring the child into the palace did not actually arouse the Emperor's desire to have children, but instead made him more determined not to have one.
The princess was weak and could not sit for long before she left. Although it was not in accordance with etiquette, Ye An still said nice things and volunteered to see her off. The queen mother smiled and said, "You want to take this opportunity to sneak out and play, right?"
Ye An found that he could not hide his thoughts in front of the Queen Mother and could only nod awkwardly. He really felt that the palace was too suffocating and wanted to take this opportunity to go outside the palace and take a look at the outside world.
The empress dowager always used to go against her son. After her son lost his memory, she felt somewhat regretful and wanted to pamper her son. Besides, she had another idea that the emperor used to favor Concubine Su, but now that she had lost her memory, perhaps there was no one he liked, so he refused to summon her to bed. Instead of keeping the emperor in the palace, it would be better to let him out to relax and see the world. Maybe he will find a new lover.
Anyway, the Yongchang he has been thinking about is still young and cannot enter the palace, and the emperor still has no heir.
The Queen Mother said, "If you want to go, take more guards with you. If you meet someone you like, you can bring them back to the palace directly. Your father will not stop you. Your harem is indeed too small."
Ye An: “…”
The Queen Mother is so open-minded. It's not enough for her to worry about the male concubines in his harem, she also encourages him to snatch men from the streets. How can you tell that he has few men in his harem?
Ye An didn't care about anything else in order to get out, and nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away..."
What if, maybe, there’s no one in the palace, but there’s someone outside who is his true love… Bah, who can really help him!
