Three years later,
"Your Majesty, you're awake?" Tingzhu pushed open the door and went in after hearing the noise inside. Behind her were three or four palace maids, each carrying toiletries such as a copper basin, a cloth, or a mouthwash cup.
"Hmm." Mo Qian sat up in bed, her eyes still a little misty, clearly not fully awake yet.
Seeing this, Tingzhu offered a cup of refreshing tea that she had prepared earlier. Moqian took it and drank it all in one gulp. It took her a while to regain her energy.
"It seems I can't stay up late anymore." Mo Qian shook her head, a hint of helplessness on her face.
"Your Majesty's health is important; this cannot continue," Tingzhu said with obvious disapproval.
Ever since the Empress came up with this new thing called Mahjong, at first everyone was a bit excited because they hadn't played it before. But once they figured out how to play, everyone became obsessed and couldn't stop playing.
The practice spread from their palace outwards, and gradually the entire palace, from top to bottom, began playing mahjong. Even she couldn't resist the trend, but fortunately, knowing she had to serve her master, she gradually reduced the number of times she played mahjong.
However, the Empress was still in high spirits, especially in the last two days when she crushed the Empress, Consort Shu, and Consort Jing one by one, winning the first place and winning a lot of bets.
"Send someone to inform the Empress, Consort Shu, and Consort Jing that I will no longer play mahjong these days; I need to cultivate my mind and body," Mo Qian said to Tingzhu beside her after washing up.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty should have done this a long time ago. What is health more important than mahjong? Besides, even when playing, one should not get too carried away and forget the time, staying up until the middle of the night."
Upon hearing that Mo Qian had declined the Empress's invitation, Tingzhu smiled and immediately sent someone to give the order.
"Serve the meal."
After Mo Qian gave the order, the meal was quickly delivered.
One after another, exquisite dishes, each exuding a delicious aroma, were placed on the table.
Mo Qian's eyes lit up when she saw the table full of delicious food.
Recently, the food prepared by the imperial kitchen has become more and more to her liking.
It turns out that ever since Mo Qian's reputation for loving to eat spread, the people in the imperial kitchen have been trying all sorts of ways to make delicious food to please her.
To this end, he constantly researched new dishes and collected recipes from folk traditions, all in order to save face in front of important people.
As a result, the overall happiness index of the palace increased significantly.
"Your Majesty, slow down, have some soup."
"This soup was specially prepared by the imperial kitchen. It not only replenishes qi and blood, but also nourishes the mind and promotes sleep. It contains dozens of Chinese medicinal herbs and has been simmered for three hours, making it very nourishing."
After Tingzhu ladled a bowl of ginseng, black chicken, wolfberry, and tofu soup from the earthenware pot, she handed it to Moqian.
"Sounds good, perfect for a nourishing drink." Mo Qian took a sip, her eyes lit up, and then she drank two more sips, finishing the whole bowl in no time.
"Serve another bowl!" Mo Qian then handed the bowl to Ting Zhu.
"Okay." Tingzhu took the soup bowl and quickly ladled out another bowl. A smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
Your Majesty should drink more nourishing soup so that you can recover the energy you lost from staying up late.
Only when the Empress is well can she be well.
In this palace, she could only rely on her mistress; their honor and disgrace were intertwined!
After finishing her meal, Mo Qian leaned back in her recliner.
She stroked her belly with her hand, looking completely at ease.
Just as Mo Qian was wondering whether to read a storybook or listen to music, there was a noise outside the door.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The sounds reached my ears.
Upon hearing the sound, Mo Qian no longer needed to hesitate and lazily shifted her posture.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Upon seeing the Emperor enter, Tingzhu quickly turned around and bowed, her face full of respect.
They were already used to the fact that their concubine did not get up to pay her respects, simply assuming that the Emperor was showing her great favor.
"Okay, go down." Xiao Bai ordered sternly.
"This servant takes her leave."
At this moment, there was no one else in the room except Mo Qian.
Xiao Bai abandoned his previous dignified demeanor and plopped down on the recliner on the other side of Mo Qian.
"Master, you've become so lazy lately." Little White looked at him with disdain, but a hint of envy lurked in his eyes.
Ugh! My master is so mean!
I'll stay out of the limelight and let it do the hard work!
Although one can find enjoyment in the court every day, one must also fulfill one's duties while in office, and cannot neglect important national affairs.
I had previously experienced several small worlds with my master. Although dealing with things wasn't too difficult, it wasn't as comfortable as lying down and doing nothing.
However, it is also very capable. Although it needs its owner's help in some things, it can solve most things on its own.
Seeing the country so well-governed fills me with pride.
Thinking of this, and seeing the director's lazy appearance, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"It's a good thing you're here, otherwise I wouldn't have the carefree life I have now. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaobai. You're amazing!" Mo Qian praised Xiaobai with a sincere expression.
"Hmph, now you know how great it is to have me, right?" Little White looked proud. Although it knew its owner's character, it was still extremely happy to hear its owner praising it so much.
You are my precious darling~
"Women only know how to say sweet words to coax animals!"
"It's so sickeningly sweet." Xiaobai said stubbornly, but a hint of pink crept up to her ears.
His lips kept curving upwards, harder to control than an AK.
After playing with Mo Qian for a while, Xiao Bai suddenly remembered the emperor who was still suffering from the cycle of death.
I wonder how things are now.
However, it must have left a very deep impression on him!
A hint of amusement crept into his lips.
"Master, aren't you curious about how the Emperor is doing now?" Xiao Bai blinked, staring intently at Mo Qian.
"The left is just like that, either completely insane or half-insane."
"Now that it has gone through countless reincarnations, it's probably become numb. It doesn't seem to work anymore." Mo Qian said thoughtfully.
"It seems it's time to let him out for a spin. Physical death is nothing; it's the destruction of his spirit that will make him remember it forever."
The next day, a ragged beggar appeared in a dilapidated house on West Street in the capital. Strips of rags hung down from his waist, and when the wind blew, he was almost exposed.
"Don't kill me!"
"I don't want to die!"
"I don't want to die!"
The beggar's face was filled with fear, and even while he was still unconscious, he kept uttering words.
As the panic on his face grew, the sounds coming from his mouth grew louder and louder, until a tearing sound like that of a wild beast rang out.
"ah!"
A flock of swallows was startled into flight.
The beggar suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the ground.
His eyes were still filled with fear, his body was trembling uncontrollably, and his teeth were chattering.
It took quite a while for things to calm down.
It was the original beggars in the dilapidated house who went out to beg early in the morning. Otherwise, given his current behavior, daring to disturb people's sleep, he would have been beaten half to death!
