Chapter 97: Marriage Breakup
After a night of tossing and turning, Yun Wan slept until noon the next day as expected.
Sex is so tiring.
Staring at the top of the gauze bed curtains, Yun Wan sighed from the bottom of his heart.
She only now realized that it could be viewed from the front, back, side, and in various postures, fast, slow, or both...
She and Lu Fenglan have always been law-abiding, usually ending it after just one time, for fear that going too far would make his health worse.
She originally thought that Emperor Jingxuan was over 30 years old and should be physically weak. He could probably be a grandfather in an ordinary family. The first time he was drugged, and the second time it was her. She didn't have a deep impression of both times, and with the effect of the drugs, it was understandable that he was a little fierce.
It was not until last night that Yun Wan deeply felt that strong men were indeed different.
She seemed like a dish in a cooking pot, being fried over and over again.
Yun Wan held her waist with a look of deep worry on her face. If she continued to be so unrestrained, she would probably suffer from kidney deficiency before Emperor Jingxuan's kidney essence was depleted.
Next time she would definitely have a serious discussion with him. This couldn't go on any longer.
Even when plowing the fields, one must take into account whether the fields are plowed properly and whether the oxen are tired out.
After lying down for about a quarter of an hour, Yun Wan stood up weakly. Fortunately, the bedding on her body and feet was of the best quality, and drying it in the sun could greatly relieve the aches and pains all over her body.
Noticing the commotion, a palace maid quietly appeared, hung up the curtains, lowered her brows and spoke respectfully, "Good morning, Concubine Yun. I will help you wash up."
Yun Wan paused, then looked up suddenly: "What did you call me?"
"Empress Yun." The palace maid repeated.
Hearing this name, Yun Wan's face flashed with surprise.
Seeing this, the palace maid took the initiative to explain: "Your Majesty, you may not know, but this morning His Majesty has announced to all the other palaces that you will be named Consort Yun and will live in Qiyun Palace."
Yun Wan murmured, "Yun Fei? Are you sure it's not..."
Concubine Yun or Concubine Yun?
The palace maid nodded, put on her embroidered shoes, and said with a smile: "It is absolutely true. I dare not lie. The imperial edict is outside. If you don't believe me, you can take a look for yourself."
The palace maid sighed, after staying in the palace for ten years, this Madam Yun... no, Empress Yun was the first person to receive this honor and was promoted to a concubine. You should know that other concubines, such as the Imperial Concubine and the Shu Concubine, were all noble ladies when they first entered the palace.
As everyone knows, His Majesty has always been stingy with the positions in the harem. He will only change the positions when there are major festivals or when the weather in Da Qi is good and there are happy events, and then it is only a half-level change.
It was not until the birth of several royal heirs that concubines appeared in the harem, and they would stay in the position for several years. It sounded like a waste of motivation to compete for favor and advance.
The palace servants were ordered to deliver the imperial edict to confer the title of consort. Yun Wan read it carefully several times and found that it was indeed the title of consort, which was beyond her expectation.
Since the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Yun Wan knew that her entry into the harem was a foregone conclusion.
During this period, she never mentioned the matter of her position to Emperor Jingxuan. Firstly, she thought that she was initially granted the titles of noble lady and beauty, and at most she could only be a concubine; secondly, she knew that Emperor Jingxuan had his own plans, and if he didn't want to give it, it would be useless for her to mention it.
Just like that, what she waited for was an imperial edict to confer the title of consort?
but--
"Which palace is Qiyun Palace?"
Yun Wan had been in the palace for several months and had some impression of the layout of various palaces, but she didn't remember there being such a place.
She remembered that the last time someone came to the inner garden, when Emperor Jingxuan asked them to choose a residence, she chose "Yongfu Palace".
The palace maid's smile deepened. "Your Majesty, it was originally the Yongfu Palace. His Majesty thought the name was too common, so he personally changed it to 'Qiyun Palace'."
Qiyun Palace, as soon as you hear the name, you know it is related to Concubine Yun, as if that should have been her palace.
As she finished speaking, the palace maids smiled and congratulated her, "Congratulations, Queen Concubine Yun! Congratulations, Queen Concubine Yun!"
Yun Wan looked down at the large, flamboyantly written characters and smiled.
"...Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty."
Today is a clear and cool autumn day. The golden crow hangs in the sky, shining brightly but not as hot as in summer.
There is a osmanthus tree in the palace. Now is the season when the osmanthus fragrance is in the air, and even the Purple Palace, which is far away, can smell it.
After noon, Fuling was discussing with Yunwan about picking some osmanthus to send to the imperial kitchen to make osmanthus cake and osmanthus honey dew, when a palace maid came in and said:
"Your Majesty, His Majesty said that if you wake up, you should go to the front hall."
........
In the front hall, when Yun Wan entered, Emperor Jingxuan was sitting upright on a square chair carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes, holding a brush in his hand, writing something seriously.
He noticed her as she entered, straightened his back, and waved at her.
When Yun Wan came up to him, he naturally put his arm around her waist and patted her strong thighs, signaling, "Madam, please sit down."
After glancing at the hall and seeing that there was no one there, Yun Wan sat on his lap.
Seeing her cautious look, Emperor Jingxuan raised his lips and lifted her up to make her sit more steadily.
Yun Wan's waist was still sore, and she couldn't help but move closer. Using him as a support, she asked softly, "Your Majesty, what is it that you summoned me for?"
Emperor Jingxuan controlled the strength of his hands and rubbed her waist intermittently. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, "Did you see the imperial edict?"
Yun Wan nodded.
Emperor Jingxuan lowered his eyes, gazing at her features, and asked in a serious tone, "Madam, how do you feel? Are you happy?"
Yun Wan moved her lips, "...happy."
"But you might cause dissatisfaction among the other ladies."
Her voice was thin, with a long tail tone, and she was lazy like a sleepy cat, yawning in his arms.
Emperor Jingxuan stroked her temples and said indifferently, "If you are dissatisfied, then you are dissatisfied. As long as my wife and I are satisfied."
Yun Wan frowned, wanting to say something but stopping himself, with a hint of sadness lingering between his brows.
Seeing this, Emperor Jingxuan sighed inwardly, called Jiang Fusheng, and ordered in a cold voice: "Give orders, if anyone has any complaints, tell her to come to me."
Who would dare to express dissatisfaction with this? Dissatisfaction with Yun Wan's position is dissatisfaction with Emperor Jingxuan. This sentence can shut people down.
"After much thought, I still think 'cloud' is the best, so I haven't changed it."
As for names like 'Duan, Shun, Liang, Gong, Kang', he felt that none of them could be as beautiful as his wife's surname.
Yun Wan didn't care much about the title. Her eyes were drawn to several identical-looking silk books on the desk.
Following her gaze, Emperor Jingxuan curled his lips and said, "Madam, look at what this is?"
He pointed at the first few words on the silk book. Yun Wan looked at it intently and was stunned: "Broken, broken marriage certificate?"
There was disbelief in her eyes.
Reading further, the silk book does not contain much content, and the repeated meaning is the same:
Yun Wan and Lu Fenglan dissolved their marriage and are free to marry from now on.
In other words, Yun Wan and Lu Fenglan are no longer husband and wife, and she is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and no longer needs to be a widow for her so-called deceased husband.
Staring at the few lines of flowing handwriting, Yun Wan felt heartbroken and dazed.
Strangely, she didn't feel the slightest bit of reluctance in her heart. Instead, she felt relieved, as if most of the heavy burden had been lifted in an instant.
Seeing that she remained silent, Emperor Jingxuan opened his mouth and said, "I have already written the contents. Madam, you only need to put your handprint on it, and from now on you will have nothing to do with the Lu family."
To be precise, the lady and that dead guy Lu San are no longer husband and wife in name, and as for the idea of remaining faithful to him, that is out of the question.
From now on, if Madam wants to guard something, it should be for him.
He unfolded the silk book and said leisurely, "I have written three copies. Madam, keep one copy... No, I will keep it for you."
This is to prevent my wife from seeing Lu San’s name on the marriage cancellation certificate one day and starting to miss him.
"As for the other two, one will be sent to the Lu family, and the other..."
Emperor Jingxuan paused and asked Yun Wan, "Madam, do you think it's better for me to order someone to burn it for Lu San, or should I let the Lu family burn it for him?"
Yun Wan:.........
