Yu Jinshu looked at Pu Kun and thought: I don’t know if I fell into your trap or you fell into mine.
That night's dinner was delivered from the imperial kitchen.
Yu Jinshu had previously given the recipe to the head chef, and the imperial kitchen had added a lot of new dishes, so Pu Kun was very satisfied with the dishes delivered by the imperial kitchen for dinner.
Especially since Pu Kun now only eats two dishes, and the masters of each palace do the same, the workload of the imperial kitchen has been greatly reduced, and the dishes made there are more delicious.
For dinner today, Pu Kun asked Yu Jinshu to eat with her, so there were two more dishes.
As soon as dinner was over, the empress dowager came to Zhenghe Hall in person and saw Yu Jinshu and Pu Kun taking a walk outside the hall to digest their food.
When Yu Jinshu saw the empress dowager, he immediately bowed and saluted.
Pu Kun bowed and said, "Your son greets the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was delighted to see her own son being so close to Yu Jinshu. This was the first time she had seen this, and she was extremely happy.
"Your Majesty, since you like Yu Shishi, please make her your empress. This will give her a title and status, which will be good for her."
Pu Kun said, "Mother, at the request of the ministers, Yu Yudai has been granted the title of Female Grand Secretary today, making an exception. She can now attend court and attend government affairs."
"Ah!" The Queen Mother was surprised. "A female Grand Secretary? She can even attend court?"
Pu Kun nodded and talked about Yu Jinshu's contributions again.
The Empress Dowager nodded repeatedly, "So that's how it is! Imperial Attendant Yu is truly a remarkable woman. She can even make important officials in the court plead for her. The position of Female Grand Secretary is well-deserved."
She frowned again, "But Your Majesty, you have already favored Yu Daxueshi, what should we do then?"
Once you are favored, you can no longer run around outside. You have to stay in the harem and give birth to an heir for the emperor.
Yu Jinshu hurriedly bowed and said, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor has not favored this servant."
The Empress Dowager was shocked. She looked at Yu Jinshu and then at Pu Kun. "Your Majesty, what is going on? I heard that you and Grand Secretary Yu were sleeping under the same blanket."
Pu Kun first glanced at Yu Jinshu and said, "Grand Secretary Yu, you don't have to call yourself a slave anymore. You are now a Grand Secretary who can attend court affairs."
He turned to look at the Queen Mother, "Mother, I only asked Yu Daxueshi to serve me closely, and I did not favor her."
"Ah!" The Queen Mother looked disappointed. She looked at her son from head to toe and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, are you ill? How about I call a royal physician to come and see you?"
Pu Kun frowned and said, "Mother, I am in good health. There is no need to call a doctor."
Yu Jinshu understood the meaning behind the empress dowager's words.
The Queen Mother is worried that Pu Kun is not doing well.
"Your Majesty, we must invite an imperial physician, one who is particularly skilled in treating that disease. I will have him summoned immediately."
The Queen Mother turned and was about to leave.
"Mother," Pu Kun called out to the Queen Mother, "Mother, I am not ill. There is no need to call a doctor."
The Queen Mother thought her son was being shy, so she pulled him aside and said, "Your Majesty, if you are not good enough with women in bed, you must seek medical treatment. If you cannot be cured, you will not have an heir, and the court will be in chaos in the future."
Pu Kun understood now and couldn't help laughing: "Mother, I am not bad with women."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was delighted and asked hurriedly, "Then why don't you favor her since you sleep on the same bed with her?"
Pu Kun thought about what Yu Jinshu said, a pair for life.
He said, "Mother, she doesn't want me to favor her, and I don't want to embarrass her."
"What?" The Queen Mother was furious when she heard this and looked at Yu Jinshu. "Yu Jinshu, all women in the world belong to the Emperor. Whoever the Emperor wants must be given to him. Why don't you want to be favored by the Emperor?"
Pu Kun felt that the matter had become a big deal, and quickly answered for Yu Jinshu: "She is afraid of pain." Although he had never experienced making a woman feel pain for the first time, he had been lectured by the governess and had also seen some picture books before he married the queen at the age of fourteen.
When the Queen Mother heard this, the anger that was about to burst out of the sky in her heart immediately subsided. She thought to herself that this girl was probably a fool when it came to love affairs and didn't understand that after experiencing pain once, there is enjoyment.
She suppressed her temper, walked up to Yu Jinshu, took her hand and said carefully: "Jinshu, it will be a little painful the first time, but it will only hurt for a while, and it won't hurt anymore afterwards."
Yu Jinshu lowered his head, looking shy.
The Queen Mother was afraid of scaring her, so she added, "I'll have the tutor come over later, and you'll know."
She immediately ordered the palace maid beside her, "Go and invite the teaching nanny."
Pu Kun hurriedly said, "Mother, that's not necessary. I have to take her out of the palace tomorrow to do some work, so she won't be in the palace for ten days."
The Queen Mother was surprised and asked, "Are you leaving the palace again?"
Every time her son left the palace, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep.
Pu Kun nodded. "Yes, I must personally inspect the reservoir. Besides, the blueprints for the reservoir were drawn by Grand Secretary Yu, so she must go to avoid any mistakes."
The Queen Mother pulled Pu Kun aside again and asked, "What about your favor to her?"
Pu Kun smiled slightly and whispered into the Queen Mother's ear, "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely favor her. Just wait for the birth of the heir!"
He was confident in himself. As long as he promised her that they would be together for the rest of their lives, she would definitely favor him.
The Queen Mother's face grew serious, and she whispered, "You are the Emperor, the highest authority. How could she refuse to comply just because she's afraid of the pain?"
Pu Kun just smiled faintly and didn't mention it anymore.
The Queen Mother went to scold Yu Jinshu again, "Jinshu, this is the first time in twenty years that the Emperor has allowed a woman to sleep in his dragon bed. You are so lucky. You must cherish it and strive to conceive an heir as soon as possible."
She didn't care whether Yu Jinshu was a concubine or a female university scholar, as long as she could sleep with the emperor and conceive a royal heir.
Yu Jinshu bowed: "Yes, Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager received Yu Jinshu's reply and left satisfied.
Pu Kun turned and headed for the dormitory, and Yu Jinshu hurriedly followed him.
When they arrived at the bathroom, Yu Jinshu followed him in.
With the experience of last night, Yu Jinshu was more skilled tonight and helped Pu Kun undress.
Pu Kun looked at her serious expression and asked, "Did you take the Queen Mother's words to heart?"
Yu Jinshu lowered her head, her face flushed, and she put her arms around his waist and pulled down his robe.
Pu Kun looked at her and was already aroused. He took advantage of the situation and hugged her, pressing her against the wall.
Yu Jinshu panicked and said, "Your Majesty... um..."
Pu Kun kissed her.
Yu Jinshu was caught off guard, but she quickly surrendered and her whole body went limp.
She doesn't want to do it anymore, let it be!
Pu Kun was just testing her, but he didn't expect that she didn't refuse.
He moved his lips to her ear and whispered, "I promise to be with you forever and to favor you. Are you willing?"
Yu Jinshu nodded slightly.
Pu Kun was overjoyed. He picked her up and carried her towards the bathtub.
This time, it was not Yu Jinshu who served Pu Kun, but Pu Kun who pulled open her belt and took off her official robe, leaving only her thin gauze shirt.
