Chapter 925
A dark glint flashed in Consort Qu's eyes: "Is that so... But fortunately, I'm still quite capable, so my mother and brother won't suffer any more grievances in the future."
"Yes," Consort Jing nodded, "You're still young. It would be even better if you could get pregnant sometime!"
"My aunt is teasing me again, isn't she? It's not that easy to get pregnant."
"You're young, why can't it be possible?"
Consort Qu seemed unwilling to dwell on the topic any longer, so she simply threw herself into Consort Jing's arms and started to act coquettishly.
Consort Jing laughed out loud, but her eyes were icy cold.
Consort Qu was also in her arms.
"By the way, is His Majesty going to accompany you on a boat trip on the lake tomorrow?"
“Yes,” Consort Qu sat up straight, “the lotus flowers are in full bloom now, and His Majesty hasn’t taken a boat ride in a long time.”
Consort Jing nodded slightly: "The lake is not like our land. If something happens, it will be a big deal. You are young and inevitably not steady. You must be careful then."
"Why don't you come with me, Aunt? When it comes to composure, who in the palace can be more composed than you?" Consort Qu said with a smile. "With you by my side, I can feel at ease!"
Hearing her words, Consort Jing smiled with satisfaction.
It was no wonder she loved Qu Ling so much; after Qu Ling entered the palace, she personally guided her.
What Consort Jing wanted was Consort Qu's dependence.
"Alright, alright, since you've said so, how could I possibly refuse you? I'll go with you tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
The two chatted for a few minutes before Consort Jing got up and left.
Consort Qu watched her retreating figure and silently tugged at the corners of her mouth.
What exactly is true about what her aunt says?
——
The next day, Consort Qu got up early to dress up.
By the time the emperor finished his court session, she had almost finished packing.
Wearing a lake-green silk dress and with a simple yet exquisite hairstyle, this outfit would be the most common attire for going out to enjoy the lake, but it would be rather bland in the palace.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Hearing the eunuch's high-pitched voice outside, Consort Qu rose and went out to greet him: "This concubine greets Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities," the emperor said, looking her over. "Why are you dressed so simply?"
"I just felt that His Majesty was used to seeing those brightly colored flowers, so I wanted to give His Majesty a change of pace!"
Upon hearing her words, the emperor finally noticed her refined beauty, and his eyes lit up with amazement.
"Your Majesty, shall we go over now?"
The emperor nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, could you wait a moment? Consort Jing came over last night and said she also wanted to go."
As soon as Consort Qu finished speaking, Yun Cai, who had been standing with her head bowed in the courtyard, suddenly looked up and looked at Consort Jing.
"Consort Jing?" The Emperor chuckled. "Your relationship with Consort Jing is truly excellent."
But there's nothing strange about it, since they're relatives.
So the emperor didn't say anything more, and nodded in agreement.
Consort Qu beamed and said, "Yun Cai, why don't you go and fetch some good tea and brew it for His Majesty!"
Yun Cai knelt in agreement and turned to get busy.
While brewing tea, Yun Cai's brow remained furrowed.
Consort Qu is acting very strangely today.
