On the way back, Tianyi reported the news he had received to Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi one by one.
Both of them felt very pleased after hearing this.
That disgusting guy is finally dead!
Yongqi asked curiously, "Then, since Li Chengyun is dead, who has succeeded him?"
“He is his younger brother, Li Chengrui, who shares the same mother.”
"Reports say that Li Chengrui is far better than his brother, and the people there now really like him as emperor..."
Yongqi said, "Keep the people watching to see if he's a truly good emperor or just a fake one."
"Yes." After reporting, Tianyi went to handle some business.
After entering the Shenwu Gate, they got off the carriage and strolled back to Yonghe Palace.
The rumors circulating in the palace have long since changed, and the main focus is no longer Yongqi.
"After what happened last night, everyone in and outside the palace has become neurotic, and even you are not quite right..." Xiao Yanzi sighed as she walked.
Yongqi frowned and said, "What happened last night was really terrifying. If Dugu Yi hadn't appeared in time, and if neither you nor Father Emperor believed me, I would have been finished!"
"I'm still terrified when I think about it, so you absolutely must stay by my side and keep those demons and monsters away from me..."
"Little Swallow, perhaps we could research what kind of medicine can prevent men from getting close to me..."
"Otherwise, with all this constant guarding, even nothing will turn into something..."
Little Swallow comforted her, "Don't overthink it. Nothing's happened yet, so what's there to be afraid of?"
"Besides, if you are really bullied, I will definitely get justice for you!"
"In other words, I've almost been victimized by others several times before... If they had actually succeeded, would you have minded?"
Yongqi shook his head, "Of course not! I will only love you even more, how could I possibly mind?"
Little Swallow laughed and said, "That's fine then. As long as our hearts are connected, no difficulty can defeat us!"
"Okay, let's go back quickly. I'm not hungry, but the baby in my belly is."
"Yes, let's go back quickly!"
Yongqi looked at Xiaoyanzi's belly with a loving expression, "I wonder if it will be a boy or a girl this time..."
Little Swallow held his hand and smiled, "Boy or girl, as long as you don't mind!"
"Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all our children! I will make sure you all live peacefully and happily!"
Of course, the premise that he is a good father is that his children will not ruin his and Xiao Yanzi's beautiful night!
After returning to Yonghe Palace, it was just the right time to have dinner.
Consort Yu smiled and said, "You've finally returned."
Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi noticed that Consort Shu and Consort Ling had also arrived, and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Consort Shu and Consort Ling."
Consort Shu smiled and said, "Alright, there's no need for such formalities."
Consort Ling replied, "Yes, we're all family, no need to be so polite."
"Your Highnesses, Yongqi didn't cook today, so why did you come?"
Consort Ling said, "After what happened last night, how can we sit still?"
Consort Shu continued, "Yes, if it weren't for the people from Yonghe Palace coming to help last night, I might have been burned to death!"
"But I never expected that person to be so resourceful, coming up with so many tricks..."
Little Swallow sighed, "Luckily, the news didn't reach outside the palace, otherwise it would have been terrible..."
Consort Shu said, "Most importantly, that person did not succeed, and the Emperor believes that the Fifth Prince is innocent. Otherwise, how could this matter have ended so easily?"
Consort Yu looked at the group and said, "Alright, stop chatting and start eating."
While eating, Consort Yu looked at Yongqi and asked, "Yongqi, did your father say when we're going to the Summer Palace this year?"
Yongqi shook his head, "Not yet, probably not so soon..."
Little Swallow muttered, "It's only May, and it's already unbearably hot. In a few more days, I'm afraid I'll turn into a roasted swallow..."
Yongqi felt a little disappointed when he heard Xiaoyanzi's words, "I really wanted to eat roasted swallows, but there aren't any to eat..."
Everyone fell silent, "..."
Consort Yu coughed. "Yongqi, be careful, Consort Ling and Consort Shu are still here!"
Little Swallow blushed and chuckled, "You want to eat my kin? You're asking for a beating!"
Yongqi whispered in Xiaoyanzi's ear, "I want to eat you, this swallow. You must taste so fragrant and tender. It's a pity I can't eat you until next year..."
Seeing Xiao Yanzi's constantly changing expression, the three empresses were speechless.
Consort Yu glared at Yongqi, "If you two don't want to eat properly, go eat in your room, don't eat here..."
Are those lewd words something they can listen to?
When Yongqi heard Consort Yu speak, he actually ordered the food to be brought out, and then he carried Xiaoyanzi into the study.
Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Guizi placed the food on the round table and then left.
"Why is it that you have that kind of thing on your mind all the time?"
"You're too tempting for me, I can't help it..."
"Alright, let's stop arguing and eat quickly, don't let you and the child go hungry!"
Xiao Yanzi wanted to eat properly, but Yongqi intentionally tried to seduce her.
Little Swallow was speechless. "If you keep doing this, you'll only make yourself suffer in the end. Why make yourself suffer?"
Yongqi grinned mischievously, "Am I really the only one who's suffering?"
After they both wiped their mouths clean, Yongqi asked Xiaoshunzi to take the bowls and chopsticks away, and then placed Xiaoyanzi on the desk.
His hand moved up from her ankle, and Xiao Yanzi couldn't help but bite his neck. "Are you only happy when you've made us both look like this?"
"If I can't eat meat, I'll at least drink soup..."
As soon as Yongqi finished speaking, Xiaoyanzi's clothes fell to the ground.
He pulled Xiao Yanzi's long hair to the front, bent down and bit the rope behind her neck, then reached out and untied the rope around her waist. The last piece of clothing on Xiao Yanzi's body was also removed. There were still some marks from before on her body, which Yongqi had now colored and added new marks to.
Without endangering Xiao Yanzi and the children, Yongqi did his best to seek his own benefit.
Yongqi was thinking that after Xiaoyanzi gave birth to this child, he would make sure that Xiaoyanzi would not get pregnant for at least three years. Anyway, she already had a son and a daughter, so outsiders could not use the issue of offspring to criticize Xiaoyanzi!
With someone to take care of the child, he needs to take advantage of the child's quiet rest time to seek his own benefits; otherwise, wouldn't he never be able to enjoy himself to the fullest every year?
The people inside were fooling around, while the people outside were making fun of them.
Consort Shu laughed and said, "Look at how sweet they are together. They'll definitely have many more children in the future. You'll be very busy then..."
The teased Consort Yu laughed and said, "That would be great, the more children the better, so outsiders won't have to use the issue of offspring to criticize Xiao Yanzi!"
Consort Ling nodded, "Indeed, as long as Xiao Yanzi continues to produce offspring, no one else can use this matter to force Yongqi to take a concubine!"
Consort Shu added, "Besides, anyone with eyes in this palace can see clearly that our Fifth Prince is completely devoted to Xiao Yanzi. Even if a concubine were to enter Yonghe Palace, she would likely be destined to live a life of widowhood!"
