"You came so close, don't say I ruined your innocence in the future, you came here on your own."
The emperor said that it was already tormenting enough for him to face Chen Miaoyi's body every day, and now she dared to come close to him. This was not torment, but horror.
If you wake up in the middle of the night and see your own face in front of you, you will be scared to death if you don’t react in time.
"Haha, don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't do anything to you." Chen Miaoyi promised. If he didn't do anything now, he might not do anything in the future.
Before dawn, Chen Miaoyi had to get up early and take the carriage back to the palace. If she was late, the ministers would see her and the emperor getting off the carriage together, and that would be a cause for discussion.
He took a pile of reviewed memorials and quietly returned to the palace.
After leaving the court in boredom, it was time for rest. For two days of rest, all ministers would not do anything at this time.
Everyone wants a holiday.
"After the examination, please leave. I will invite Minister Chen to have dinner with me today."
Chen Miaoyi couldn't wait to sit in front of a large table of dishes and wait for the eunuch to test the poison one by one, when she heard the palace servant report that the emperor had arrived.
After everyone had retreated outside the hall, Chen Miaoyi picked up her chopsticks and ate heartily, calling out to the emperor, "Eat quickly, there are no outsiders here."
Emperor: Aren’t you the biggest outsider?
"I tell you, on your day off, you should go to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay your respects, and then go to the Queen's Palace at night. Don't bother with the other concubines. Wait until I come back."
The emperor warned him that he had come to terms with it. Even if Chen Miaoyi attacked the concubine out of lust, it was his own body and didn't matter.
"Your Majesty, how do you and the Empress get along on a daily basis? Are you affectionate or cold as ice? I'm worried that the truth will be revealed.
Should I ask about your well-being when I go there, or should I just sit for a while and leave? Or should I stay overnight?
What if the Empress asks me something and I can't answer it?"
The emperor frowned. Why did he go to see the queen when there were so many things to do?
"Just sit down for a while. You don't have to stay overnight. The Queen knows her limits. Don't speak unless she asks you. Just sit for a while and I'll be back soon.
I will stay in the Yangxin Palace for the next two days. I have some unfinished business."
The emperor gave her careful instructions and told her to do it, then he heard some noises coming from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is in a meeting with Minister Chen. You can't come in!"
A coquettish female voice rang out, "Why can't we come in? The emperor should have breakfast by now, and you servants are not doing your best!
How dare you let someone disturb the Emperor while he was having breakfast? If anything happens to the Emperor's body, are you capable of taking the responsibility?"
Servant: What a good trick of turning the tables.
"My Lady, please wait a moment. Allow me to report."
But the concubine didn't listen at all, "I just want to give the emperor a surprise, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I'm here!"
When the emperor heard the noisy sound, he frowned and wanted to drive her away.
Chen Miaoyi took the lead and said, "Let her in."
"Hmph, see? The emperor is thinking of me too!" The concubine said to the palace maid in a haughty manner, and went in carrying the food box herself.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
This woman is as beautiful as a flower, with red lips and fair face. Unlike Chen Miaoyi who is cold and aloof, she is more cute.
"Get up." Chen Miaoyi didn't know her name or title, so she could only stay calm for the time being.
Today is a day off, so the concubines in the palace have to try their best to attract the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is the soup I made myself. Your Majesty has worked day and night, so he must be tired."
She threw coquettish glances at Chen Miaoyi, while the real emperor beside her looked at her with his eyes and nose, and said nothing.
"Let it go, my beloved is thoughtful." Chen Miaoyi said. Shouldn't she go back?
Unexpectedly, she actually looked at the emperor and said, "Oh, didn't you see there is another adult here? My eyesight is not good.
Did His Majesty invite you to dinner today? What a coincidence! I only brought you soup today. Please don’t blame me, Your Majesty.”
The emperor endured it again and again. What was wrong with this woman? She used to be so smart, cute and likable, but now she has this attitude towards a minister she doesn't know?
After all, she was left behind by the emperor. She told her to leave quickly, both openly and secretly. How rude of her manners!
I used to think she was naive and straightforward, but now it seems she just has no manners!
"My Lady Li, I never like soup. Please don't blame yourself."
The emperor said, and told Chen Miaoyi who this was.
Concubine Li pouted her red lips and acted coquettishly towards Chen Miaoyi, wanting her to drive the minister away. This minister was really tactless. Didn't he know to resign?
Normally the emperor has to attend court and handle state affairs, and he only has time to come to the harem at night, and it may not be her turn.
How come this minister followed me to the Yangxin Palace after we had already had our day off and the court was dismissed?
"Okay, put the soup down, and Concubine Li can go back." Chen Miaoyi said, seeing that the emperor's face seemed to be in a bad state.
Lipin had a resentful look in her eyes. Instead of retreating, she moved forward, walked to Chen Miaoyi, leaned against her "tall" body, and rubbed against her.
"Your Majesty, I will wait for you tonight. Please come to my nest."
Chen Miaoyi and the emperor were both petrified until Concubine Li left.
"puff--
Your Majesty, should I go tonight or not?"
Chen Miaoyi asked, the concubines are competing for favor to this extent.
"You are not allowed to go. Lipin is the concubine's daughter of the Minister of Works. She has always been spoiled and loves to act like a spoiled brat. You don't have to pay attention to her in the future.
You must go to the Queen's Palace, so go and take a look tonight."
The emperor said that he would be better off writing a summary of each concubine's appearance, temperament, and background and having Chen Miaoyi read and recite it carefully.
If you can't get it back in your lifetime, just marry yourself into the palace!
The emperor instantly thought of the concubines in the palace competing for favor. Would he be squeezed out then?
Having to compete for favor with a bunch of concubines makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.
Unconsciously, the emperor had begun to prepare for the possibility of never being able to change back.
"Your Majesty, this dish is delicious. Try it. It's spicy and flavorful!"
Chen Miaoyi pushed a spicy dish to him. She loved spicy food, but the emperor's body seemed to be highly sensitive, and the spiciness of the dish seemed to be magnified many times.
The emperor tasted it and found it was different from before, not so spicy. He thought it must be because of Chen Miaoyi's physical condition, so he ate more.
"I'm going to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager first. Your Majesty, would you like me to take you with me?"
Chen Miaoyi asked, I have never heard of the emperor bringing his ministers with him to pay respects to his mother.
"No need, go quickly, I'll be waiting for you in the Yangxin Palace."
Chen Miaoyi went to the Empress Dowager's palace, and the Empress Dowager didn't find anything strange at all.
"The emperor is here. Can you have breakfast?" the empress dowager asked lovingly, holding her hand.
"I have already used it." Chen Miaoyi imitated it using all he had learned in his life.
Inside the Yangxin Palace, the emperor was reviewing memorials when he suddenly felt as if someone had kicked him in the abdomen. He covered his hand with the pain.
