When he arrived at the Yangxin Palace again, surprisingly, the emperor was waiting for him in the palace.
The emperor was wearing a dark silk nightgown, which was noble and gorgeous. He sat upright behind the desk, holding a wolf hair brush in his hand, concentrating on annotating something on a memorial.
Li Shushu learned her lesson this time. She did not take off all her clothes like last time, but instead wore a plain white silk nightgown.
Seeing her coming, the emperor raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Are you here?"
I will be done soon, my beloved, please wait a moment."
Li Shushu bowed and went to wait on the dragon bed obediently.
However, this time the emperor made her wait a little longer.
Bored to death, Li Shushu decided to muster up the courage to get out of bed, stand beside the emperor, support her chin, and watch quietly.
Gu Jingyan felt something strange beside him, and a slightly familiar fragrance quietly came into his nose, which relieved a lot of his originally tired body.
He raised his eyes slightly and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Li Shushu was bored just now and tied her long hair into a big braid.
At this moment, she was slightly nervous and shy, so she only played with the end of the pigtail that ran vertically across her chest. Her white and tender fingers entwined a few strands of her dark hair, slowly twisting them around. She spoke softly, "I'm fine. I'm just... a little bored..."
She blinked her big eyes and said, "How about I help His Majesty grind the ink?"
As she spoke, she didn't wait for an answer, but picked up the ink stick and began to grind it slowly...
Gu Jingyan looked at her fingers that were pinching the ink stick and spinning it in circles with a half-smile: Sure enough, it wasn't his illusion?
After what happened last night, he didn't have much energy to think about today. Was he calling someone over just to confirm his unrealistic guess?
Is there really someone who dares to deceive me by replacing one thing with another in this palace?
Are they too brave?
But at this moment, he didn't think about exposing it so quickly. He wanted to see what tricks these people could come up with.
With the beauty beside him and her body fragrance lingering in his nose, for a moment, Gu Jingyan no longer had much desire to continue reviewing the memorials.
He grabbed Li Shushu's slender waist with one hand and held her to sit on his thighs.
The touch in his hand was really soft. He had seen all kinds of women, but none of them was as delicate and boneless as her.
He blew into her ear in a hoarse voice, "My beloved, I'm afraid you're not here to help, but to make things worse, right?"
Li Shushu was instantly aroused by him, her face flushing from her neck to her ears. "Your Majesty, I'm really here to help you grind the ink. Look, you haven't finished reviewing your memorials yet."
Gu Jingyan raised his eyebrows: "With a beauty in my arms, how can I calm down and review the memorials? Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shushu bit her lip in a feigned timid manner and was about to get off him: "I acknowledge my guilt. I will get off right away..."
But the man was tall and strong, with extremely powerful wrists. He only held her lightly, but she felt like she was being imprisoned. She struggled a few times, but he didn't move at all.
The person in his arms twisted and turned, and soon Gu Jingyan lost his temper. He had no choice but to throw down the pen in his hand, hold the person horizontally in his arms, and stride towards the dragon bed...
Li Shushu had some intentions of teasing her, but he didn't expect the other party to surrender so quickly?
She was still a little bit unable to adapt to it, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you haven't finished reviewing the memorial yet, I am so anxious..."
Gu Jingyan extinguished several candles in the distance with a wave of his sleeves, then laid the man on the bed. "It's okay. I'm always tired, so I'll just take a break once in a while..."
He leaned forward, and his tall and majestic body covered her. Before she could even finish her cry, her bright and trembling lips were captured...
The next day, Li Shushu returned to Shuyu Palace amidst Li Xiaodie's jealous, murderous gaze.
The redness and swelling on Li Xiaodie's body and face had subsided a little today, but it had not yet healed, so she had to cover half of her face with a handkerchief.
Occasionally, when he accidentally caught sight of himself in the mirror, he would become even more irritable and start smashing things and people he saw.
Even Madam Liu and Xiao Ye could not escape being beaten a few times.
Sometimes Li Shushu thought that since her elder sister had such a temper, her father, the Prime Minister, sent her to the palace. Was he not afraid that she would bring trouble to the Prime Minister's Mansion?
But then she thought again, as the eldest sister, she is usually good at acting, and maybe she won't show this face in front of her father.
Besides, their father is not a good person.
How noble can a father be who thinks of selling his daughter to consolidate his position?
When she was little, when she was still half-understanding, she had some impression that Li Xiang's catchphrase was: Just fight as much as you want, whoever wins in the end will be the best in your father's heart, and you will definitely marry into a wealthy family and have a bright future.
So, no matter what kind of person Li Xiaodie actually is, at least she is the one who emerged victorious in the house fight.
However, maybe after entering the palace, she saw that no one was controlling her, so she became a little unruly.
"Wait until my acne disappears, and immediately, send this stuff to Xinzheku!" Li Xiaodie looked at her face full of rashes in the mirror, and then looked at Li Shushu's shiny white skin and increasingly charming figure, and she gritted her teeth in anger.
Two days later, one night, the emperor came again in person, without any notification, as if he was launching a surprise attack.
At that time, Li Xiaodie had changed into her pajamas and was soaking her feet, while Li Shushu and Xiaoye were squatting beside the foot basin, serving her closely - yes, in order to humiliate Li Shushu, Li Xiaodie always asked her to act as a foot-washing maid.
The young eunuch at the door saw the emperor approaching from afar and ran into the hall in a panic: "My lady, my lady, something terrible has happened... no... no, it's not good!"
Li Xiaodie was still confused and held her composure, so Nanny Liu spoke for her: "Why are you so flustered? Speak more calmly. Be steady, understand?"
Seeing that she was not in a hurry, the young eunuch took a deep breath and then said word by word: "The emperor has come to the palace. I am afraid he has already reached the palace gate."
"W-what?" Li Xiaodie kicked over the foot basin. "You, you, you, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"My young master, you just asked me to speak slowly!" The young eunuch still looked aggrieved and spread his hands.
Aunt Liu was very cunning after all, and she reacted immediately: "Young Master, hurry!"
Several people acted separately, some were responsible for cleaning up the spilled foot washing water, and some waited at the door.
Regardless of Li Shushu's consent, Aunt Liu pushed them both into the bedroom, stripped them of their clothes, and put Li Xiaodie's pajamas on Li Shushu...
With the shout of "The Emperor has arrived", Gu Jingyan had already arrived in the palace and was walking towards the bedroom.
Luckily, it was a hot day, and since it was just a thin nightgown, it was quick to put on. After they quickly put it on Li Shushu, they didn't bother to worry about Li Xiaodie not getting dressed yet. They looked around and stuffed Li Xiaodie into a large wardrobe nearby...
