Yinglian said, "There's no rush. I've heard that after a while, the entire palace will be equipped with electric lights, and then we can see as much as we want!"
Wu Yiming wasn't unfamiliar with electric lights; she was just more interested in Consort Xian of Yongshou Palace! Oh well, she'd better find a way to befriend someone more! That way, she could live more comfortably in the harem in the future!
Let's save those unattainable things for when we have the ability to think about them later!
In essence, Wu Yiming is not hopelessly immature. He knows to act within his capabilities. After indulging in daydreams for a while, he has come to a clearer understanding of reality.
Although generators are difficult to make, many hands make light work, and by the end of the fifteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the entire palace was electrified, and Consort Hui and Consort Rong were released! However, they were no longer responsible for palace affairs!
After a period of training, Consort Duan and Consort An were able to handle palace affairs. Although they might not be comprehensive enough, they did not make any mistakes!
After this incident, anyone with a discerning eye in the harem can see that the Emperor only likes those who are honest and straightforward! Don't even think about anything else!
The New Year's Eve banquet for the fifteenth year of Kangxi's reign was organized by Consort Duan and Consort An. Yinzhen sent people to oversee it, as it concerned the face of the royal family and no mistakes could be made!
The sixteenth year of Kangxi's reign has arrived, and the palace is bustling with activity again! Originally, the Emperor was not required to observe such a long period of mourning for the Empress Dowager, but since he was willing, why shouldn't he be allowed to fulfill his filial duty?
The Emperor has been observing mourning for the Empress Dowager for over a year, which is long enough. If it goes any longer, people will really start to doubt whether the Emperor is truly incapable of sexual intercourse!
The women in the harem never believed that the Emperor would truly favor Consort Xian alone, so they naturally tried every means to attract his attention! And that's how the palace became so lively!
But the emperor remained unmoved, just like Tang Sanzang in meditation, which was quite puzzling!
If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor occasionally spent the night at Consort Xian's place, they would have really thought that the Emperor had become a monk! Their efforts were fruitless, so they had no choice but to try their luck with the young women selected for the imperial concubine selection this year!
In the past, those with outstanding looks would definitely be eliminated. This year is different. They want to keep a few of the most beautiful ones so that they can compete with Consort Xian in the end!
Regardless of what happened in the harem, since the New Year, Yinzhen had started staying overnight at Yongshou Palace from time to time. This was an agreement made at the beginning. Before, the bed was big enough, so Yunrong didn't feel anything. But now that the two of them were lying on the same bed, Yunrong felt more and more uncomfortable!
After another bout of insomnia, Yunrong finally couldn't help but nudge the person next to her!
Yinzhen pretended to have just woken up and asked, "What's wrong?"
With his beloved sleeping beside him, it was impossible for Yinzhen to fall asleep! In fact, not only Yunrong suffered from insomnia, but Yinzhen also suffered from insomnia, but he was a good actor and Yunrong didn't notice!
In the darkness, Yunrong always managed to utter those words that required courage to say: "What are you thinking?"
Yinzhen: "What do you mean, what are you thinking?"
Yunrong said bluntly, "It's that you come to my place to stay overnight, that you take meticulous care of my daily life, and that you even prevent anyone from disturbing my peace and quiet, protecting me. And I remember one year during the New Year, you didn't go to the Empress's place, but secretly came to my place to stay overnight without anyone knowing... and so on. What exactly do you think of me?"
If you don't mean it, don't flirt with her. She's afraid that if she takes it seriously, she'll end up with half a body crippled! It won't end well!
In the darkness, Yinzhen opened his eyes and looked towards Yunrong: "I think you should be able to guess!"
Yunrong said irritably, "What should I guess? That you like me, or that I'm just indulging in wishful thinking? Or..."
Before Yunrong could continue, Yinzhen immediately said, "I like you!"
Yunrong fell silent. In the darkness, one's senses are most sensitive, and Yunrong could hear her own heart pounding rapidly!
After a while, Yinzhen noticed there was no sound. Could he have fallen asleep?
Yinzhen: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Yunrong was very anxious. What could she say now? The person she liked had actually confessed his feelings to her and was now lying next to her. What should she say?
Yunrong mumbled softly, "Go to sleep! I'm sleepy!"
Yinzhen could hear the joy in Yunrong's tone, and he was quite happy too! Yinzhen was a little unhappy that he and Yunrong were sharing two blankets, and he thought about taking off his blanket and sleeping under one blanket with Yunrong. However, he was afraid that Yunrong would be angry, so he had to give up in the end!
Yinzhen thought to himself, "Next time I must turn two quilts into one!"
Yunrong thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she was so excited that she fell asleep very quickly!
Yunrong slept soundly through the night and woke up exceptionally early. Yinzhen was also particularly excited and went to bed a little late, but woke up earlier than usual! Not long after he woke up, he noticed a change in Yunrong's breathing and knew that she had woken up!
Spring hasn't arrived yet, and it gets light late! It's still pitch black outside, and no one's turned on a lamp inside!
In the darkness, Yinzhen suddenly spoke: "Awake?"
Yunrong was startled!
Yunrong thought about what happened last night, and after calming herself down, she said, "Mm!"
Yinzhen: "You still haven't given me your answer!"
Before going to bed last night, Yunrong thought about it and decided to take the gamble. No matter the outcome, she wouldn't have lived in vain! Besides, Yunrong could sense that she also had feelings for Yinzhen!
Yunrong: "Let me make this clear first, I might not be able to accept your harem. I might not care about what happened in the past, but in the future..."
Yinzhen understood!
Yinzhen has never been very interested in women. If he hadn't fallen for Yunrong, he could have remained a monk for life. That's not a difficult request!
