By midnight, Ji Mo's husband was still tossing and turning, probably because the news that Chu Sangyue was the empress had shocked them too much.
The Prime Minister and his wife felt no anger at being deceived, because in this era, anyone could understand why Chu Sangyue would hide her identity. However, the fact that their son-in-law was the Empress was still a huge shock to them.
"Don't think about it anymore, sweetie, go to sleep early, otherwise it's not good for your health, and it's not good for the baby either." The Prime Minister gently stroked her husband's head, coaxing him to sleep.
I was worried that this matter would have too much of an impact on him, which is why I was hesitant about whether to tell him or not.
"Okay." Ji Mo's husband gently grasped his wife's hand with his fingertips before finally closing his eyes. Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; perhaps they shouldn't think so much.
…
That's what he said, but every time he attended court afterward, the prime minister always had mixed feelings when facing the empress sitting in the main seat.
While the Prime Minister was still lost in thought, the Left Vice Minister beside her gently tugged at her sleeve and said in a very low voice, "Your Excellency, His Majesty is asking for your opinion."
"Oh!" The Prime Minister immediately snapped out of his daze. "What did His Majesty just say?"
The other ministers were stunned; His Majesty never repeated himself.
Chu Sangyue coughed lightly, then said, "Lord Zheng said that I am not young anymore and it is time to choose a consort. What does the Prime Minister think?"
"Of course not!" The Prime Minister's first reaction was that if he chose Feng Jun, wouldn't his daughter be cuckolded?
Not only the other ministers, but also Lord Zheng was taken aback. Didn't the Prime Minister agree to bring up this matter before? Why is he going back on his word now?
"What I mean is that there are too many things to do right now, and Your Majesty's selection of a husband can be postponed for some time." Indeed, there are many things to do right now.
“The Prime Minister is right,” Chu Sangyue replied directly.
Others seconded the motion.
…
Originally, all the ministers thought so, believing that the prime minister disagreed because there were too many things going on lately. But why did they hear a few days later that the prime minister had sent a handsome man to His Majesty?
What happened to the agreement not to choose a husband now?
While Chu Sangyue was handling government affairs, she suddenly heard a palace maid announce that the Prime Minister had sent a handsome man to her bedchamber.
Chu Sangyue immediately stood up. What did her mother mean? Why was she really sending someone in for him? She remembered just two days ago that she would arrange a man for her so that the court would stop pressuring her to choose a husband. She had thought it was a joke, since it was said at the Ji Mo family.
Now that her husband, Ji Mo, is pregnant again, Chu Sangyue is visiting the Prime Minister's residence even more frequently.
Chu Sangyue quickly dropped the jade seal in her hand and hurriedly returned to her palace.
As soon as I stepped into the palace, I saw the voice standing not far away. The other person's hair was all tied up, and he was wearing a light blue round-necked robe. From a distance, he seemed to be a handsome man with a gentle and refined appearance.
"Who allowed you to come in? Get out." Chu Sangyue frowned, thinking that even the mistress of the house hadn't been to her palace yet, so why was this person allowed in?
Only when he heard his voice did the other person turn around, a faint smile on his lips: "Your Majesty has a really bad temper."
His voice was deep and gentle, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright, and his face was as handsome as jade, making him a rare and beautiful man. But the moment he turned around and got a little closer, Chu Sangyue recognized who he was.
