Chapter 1180 If you are pleased with me, then breathe 34
The emperor was overjoyed, feeling that he had gained some respect from Xuanhe.
It seems that we are not far from the other party completely relinquishing power.
When has Xuanhe ever given him such face?
Ji Yueyi: "Does Elder Xuan have any plans to get married?"
Xuanhe's eyes turned slightly cold. Marriage was a huge deal to him, and he couldn't tolerate even the slightest bit of scheming.
With a smile on his face, he said with ill intent, "Your Majesty need not worry about my private affairs. The harem is currently empty, and all the officials are worried about this matter. We hope that Your Majesty will soon produce offspring for the royal family."
The harem is empty, which is one thing, but if there were a pregnancy, it would shut some people up. But it's been more than half a year and there's still no news... It must be either the Empress's problem or the Emperor's problem.
Ji Yueyi's smile froze as Xuan He's few words directly exposed the fear and unease deep within her heart.
The Emperor stayed at her place every night, but his belly showed no signs of pregnancy. He wondered what was wrong.
She nervously stroked her stomach.
Upon seeing this, the Emperor said, "I am busy with state affairs, and it is enough to have the Empress by my side."
Xuanhe cupped his hands in greeting: "The Emperor and Empress's affection is truly enviable."
However, the man had a dismissive smile on his face, which made me feel uncomfortable no matter how I looked at him.
It's more like a mockery.
...
Song Jinhuan was caught peeking and quickly looked away guiltily.
In the following hours, one could vaguely sense the gaze coming from above.
The vibrant flowers were plucked and crushed in my hands, staining them with flower juice.
Lin Yaning was the first to notice, and carefully wiped Song Jinhuan clean with a handkerchief.
"If Second Sister is bored, we'll head back first."
"The activities after lunch are the most interesting!"
Song Jinhuan's eyes lit up. "Besides confirming the engagement flower, what other activities are there?"
"There is a grove of trees behind the palace where you can hunt and picnic."
"Young masters and ladies are welcome to carry bows and arrows and enjoy themselves in the forest."
"Once the flower of love is chosen, the man and woman can give it to their beloved and then go into the forest to nurture their relationship."
Song Jinhuan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
"Is it okay to go alone if no one invites me?"
Lin Wenyao leaned closer and said, "It would be best if it were two people, and they could even have a hunting competition. The emperor would bestow a marriage on the spot if the person who gets the most prey is interested in the other person."
"This pair marks the beautiful beginning of the Flower Street Festival."
Song Jinhuan imagined it for a while, and it seemed quite lively.
However, it was time to change clothes.
Some of the girls had already left.
After Song Jinhuan and the other two returned to their lodgings and changed their clothes, they headed to the shooting range.
"Miss Lin, Miss Lin, His Majesty requests your presence." Eunuch Ban arrived and blocked their path.
The three looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt.
I don't know what the Emperor wants to do.
The emperor's decree cannot be disobeyed.
Song Jinhuan wanted to go along, but was stopped by Eunuch Ban, who said, "Miss Lin, His Majesty's intention is to only see the eldest and third young ladies."
Song Jinhuan: "I'll wait at the entrance of the Imperial Study."
"We're going to the shooting range together later."
Grandpa Ban asked, "Miss Lin, do you not know how to get to the shooting range? We'll have someone show you the way."
Before Song Jinhuan could answer, he casually pointed to a servant and said, "You, come and take Miss Lin to the shooting range."
Young eunuch: "Yes, Eunuch Ban."
Lin Wenyao: "Second sister, wait for me, see you later."
Lin Yaning retorted, "Second sister, don't be afraid, I'll come and keep you company in a bit."
She proudly shook her head at Lin Wenyao.
Song Jinhuan watched the two leave, then turned to the little eunuch and said, "No need to lead the way, I can go by myself."
