After the banquet, Jian Yang returned to Weiyang Palace openly and legitimately.
Everything in front of him was so familiar, the only difference being that Zhou Jingzhi had added a lot of new things.
Jian Yang looked at the glittering gold ornaments and the huge jade stone, and felt a surge of joy in her heart.
"Zhou Jingzhi, Zhou Jingzhi, you finally know what I love most." Jian Yang touched this and that, muttering softly.
Jian Yang originally planned to visit Zhou Kun, but seeing that it was getting late, she stayed at Weiyang Palace and decided to go again the next day.
Thinking of that little guy, Jian Yang felt a little uneasy. She wondered how Kun'er would react when he found out she was back, and whether he would blame her for leaving without saying goodbye.
After a long day, Jian Yang was also a little tired. Seeing this, Xi Qiu ordered the palace maids to bring hot water to prepare for her bath.
After taking a hot bath, Xiqiu brought over a plate of pastries. They looked delicious, and Jian Yang tasted one and found it was just as good as her own.
After finishing reviewing the memorials, Zhou Jingzhi rushed over. This was the scene he saw as he entered, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Seeing this, Xiqiu withdrew and closed the door behind her.
“You’re back,” Jian Yang said, looking up at Zhou Jingzhi.
She lay on the bed, having just finished showering and wearing only her undergarments, the cleavage of her chest faintly visible, causing Zhou Jingzhi to stare for a moment, his eyes wide with astonishment.
Noticing his gaze, Jian Yang blushed and quickly sat up.
Suddenly, Zhou Jingzhi moved closer, pulled Jian Yang into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "A Yang, do you know how tempting you are like this?"
The man's voice was slightly hoarse, and it seemed to contain an unknown emotion.
After saying that, Zhou Jingzhi lowered his head and kissed her neck.
Jian Yang suddenly felt flustered and tried to push him away, but he held her tightly in his arms. The sound of his breathing in her ear grew heavier and heavier, and her heart was in turmoil.
When she realized what was happening, she was already pinned down by Zhou Jingzhi.
The woman before him had cascading black hair that fell across the bed, and she looked at him with her lips slightly parted. Zhou Jingzhi could no longer restrain himself.
“Ayang, we’ve been together for so long, what do you think…?” Zhou Jingzhi asked.
Jian Yang's face turned even redder. She could clearly feel something pressing against her. As a modern woman of the 21st century, she had never done this before, but she had seen it before.
But this was her first time, and she really had no idea what to do.
Jian Yang felt like running away.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Jingzhi buried his face in Jian Yang's neck and murmured, "A Yang, just say yes to me."
A moment later, Jian Yang nodded, blushing. Zhou Jingzhi pulled down the curtain, and for a moment the room was filled with the warmth of spring.
The next morning, Jian Yang regretted it.
That damn Zhou Jingzhi kept her up for most of the night, and now she has a sore back and almost can't even get out of bed.
Who said he couldn't do it? He's amazing, Jian Yang thought to herself.
For several days in a row, Zhou Jingzhi came to torment her. Jian Yang couldn't bear it any longer and even thought about giving Zhou Jingzhi some medicine to scare him away. At night, he just held Jian Yang and fell asleep.
On that day, Zhou Jingzhi was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.
Eunuch Zhang approached and said, "Your Majesty, news has come from the Imperial Mausoleum that it has been attacked by bandits, resulting in numerous casualties."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingzhi asked in confusion, "How could bandits dare to attack the imperial tomb? Could there be a mistake?"
Eunuch Zhang shook his head and handed the message to Zhou Jingzhi.
It turned out that the bandits had designs on the burial goods in the imperial tomb and recklessly attempted to rob them, which resulted in many injuries. It is said that Consort Yu also died at their hands.
"Have all the bandits been captured?" Zhou Jingzhi asked again.
"Your Majesty, they have all been captured, and the bodies of the wounded and injured have been prepared for burial," Eunuch Zhang replied.
When it was lunchtime, Zhou Jingzhi brought up the matter with Jian Yang, and both of them felt a little regretful.
This pampered young lady, who was once so privileged, unexpectedly died at the hands of bandits. It can be considered that she got what she deserved.
Another day, Jian Yang went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager as usual.
Since the Empress Dowager agreed to let her return to the palace, she has returned to her kind and gentle self, and treats her even better than before.
Jian Yang would come to pay her respects every day and also check her health, which pleased the Empress Dowager so much that she was always smiling and became increasingly satisfied with her.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager had some gray hair, Jian Yang prepared a medicinal meal early on.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty," Jian Guan said, bowing.
"Get up quickly." The Empress Dowager reached out and helped Jian Yang up.
Seeing that Xiqiu was carrying a tray, the Empress Dowager asked, "What have you brought me today, my little girl?"
"Mother, please don't be hasty. Let me take your pulse first." Jian Yang winked mischievously.
The Empress Dowager smiled helplessly and extended her wrist for Jian Yang to examine.
She has been using Jian Yang's prescription to regulate her body, and now her body is getting better and better. Even if Jian Yang doesn't come to check, she can feel it herself.
Jian Yang then took the tray from Xi Qiu's hands and presented it to the Empress Dowager like a precious treasure.
"I guarantee that after Mother Mother drinks this medicinal meal, her hair will be black and shiny, and she will look ten years younger!"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager burst into laughter and hurriedly had a palace maid take the bowl from her, saying, "You silly girl, you always know how to make me happy."
Jian Yang was about to hand over what she was holding when she looked up at the palace maid in front of her and found her somewhat unfamiliar.
In the past, it was always Qin Mama who served the Empress Dowager. When did such a little palace maid come to Fuxi Palace?
Noticing Jian Yang's puzzled look, the Empress Dowager smiled and explained, "This palace maid is called Liu'er. She was recently assigned by the Imperial Household Department. I took pity on her and kept her."
Jian Yang handed over the medicinal meal without saying anything more.
After paying her respects, Jian Yang felt increasingly strange. The palace maid looked so different from ordinary palace maids, and her eyes seemed familiar.
Thinking of this, she turned back, intending to test Liu'er.
As luck would have it, Jian Yang happened to run into Liu'er carrying a bowl of medicinal food toward the small kitchen, and she hurriedly followed her.
"Stop." Jian Yang said.
The palace maid seemed to be startled, and the bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Jian Yang was also a little stunned. She hadn't spoken loudly just now, so it couldn't be that loud.
When Liu'er saw that it was Jian Yang who had called her, she hurriedly knelt down, making "ah ah ah" sounds while gesturing with her hands for a long time, looking very anxious.
This palace maid is mute? Thinking of this, Jian Yang hurriedly tried to help her up.
Unexpectedly, Liu'er kept shaking her head while kneeling on the ground. She was at a loss for what to do until Granny Qin came over and helped her out of the predicament.
It turns out that Liu'er was also a pitiful person, born mute.
