"Is Your Majesty injured? It will take some time to change the table. Your Majesty should go and keep the Empress company first. We can move the memorial to the Empress's palace first."
"Good idea." Qin Yizhou nodded, seemingly agreeing with his approach.
Xie Quan breathed a sigh of relief; another day he had escaped with his life.
…
When Qin Yizhou arrived at her palace, he found she was not there: "Where is she? Where is my Empress?"
Qin Yizhou grabbed one of the eunuchs by the collar, his face grim.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the Empress said she wanted to go for a walk, so she must have gone to the Imperial Garden, and Aunt Qingyu was with her."
"Your Majesty, shall we wait for the Empress to return? This servant will send someone to deliver a message to Aunt Qingyu, asking her to bring the Empress back."
"Okay." Qin Yizhou waved his hand, signaling the other person to hurry up.
He entered her bedchamber and frowned as he looked at the small and poorly decorated room. "What kind of place is this? Hasn't the Phoenix Palace where the Empress lives been finished yet?"
"It's almost ready, and we should be able to move in before the wedding."
Initially, because we knew the emperor would definitely choose an empress, we started renovations two months ago, and it's still incomplete.
Originally, I didn't expect the draft to be completed so quickly, so the time should not be too different. But I didn't expect His Majesty to bring forward the time so much so suddenly.
"Understood. Have someone put the memorials away properly. You may leave now. I'll be fine here alone."
"Yes." Xie Quan bowed and left the room.
…
Half an hour later, Wan Ge slowly returned.
The moment he stepped into his bedroom, he saw Qin Yizhou diligently reviewing memorials.
He was quite handsome when he was serious. Looking at his face, Wan Ge smiled. He was so good-looking. If she hadn't seen her senior brother's stunning good looks, she might have fallen for him.
Noticing someone had returned, Qin Yizhou looked up and saw the person standing at the door, backlit as they walked back.
A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and her delicate and beautiful features were captivating at first glance.
Even though she's backlit, she gives off the feeling of walking on light. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if she's really a fairy descended from heaven.
…
What did you go to do?
Wan Ge obediently replied, "I just went for a stroll. The palace is huge!"
It's bigger than their mountain gate, but there are many parts that aren't as beautiful as their mountain gate.
Is it pretty?
"It's alright." Wange sat down not far from him. She had thought that the sinking would be resolved quickly, but now it seemed that it wouldn't be so fast.
At this moment, another palace maid appeared carrying a pot of tea.
Wan Ge immediately stepped forward to take it, and then went to Qin Yizhou's side: "You left without even having a sip of my tea, now you can try it."
Qin Yizhou remembered her dislike of his tea and became a little curious, wanting to see just how good the tea she spoke of really was.
"Okay, then I'll try it."
Qin Yizhou picked up the cup and took a sip. Instantly, the fragrant aroma of the tea filled the air. It was mellow, thick, and smooth, with a sweet taste. Even after he put the cup down, the sweetness and fragrance seemed to linger.
Moreover, after drinking it, I felt refreshed and invigorated; it is indeed a very different kind of good tea.
"Your tea is quite special." This is the first time I've ever tasted such fine tea. It seems that even an emperor like him is nothing special.
"Just tell me my tea is delicious. If you like it, why don't you take some home?"
"Would you be willing to share some with me?" She treasured these teas so much, and even carried them with her at all times, yet she was willing to share them with him.
Wan Ge had no idea what he was thinking. In her heart, she thought it was just a tea leaf. What was there to be willing or unwilling about? If he liked it, she would give it all to him. At worst, she could just go back and make it again later.
She carries it with her only because there's space for it.
"Of course, I'll have them get you an extra one."
"Okay, since you gave me a gift, I'll have someone give you one later."
Wan Ge nodded, not really caring.
…
It's completely dark now, Wan Ge, it's time for you to go to bed with the other person.
After taking a bath, Wan Ge returned to the bed and, under the other person's gaze, patted the spot next to her: "Come here, aren't you going to have a baby?"
Qin Yizhou blushed a little when the other party said it so openly.
He walked up to her, but the next second he saw her pull back the covers and lie down.
Just as Qin Yizhou walked up to her and was about to kiss her, she pushed his face away with her hand.
What are you doing?
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to sleep?"
"If you're going to sleep, just sleep. What are you doing getting so close?"
"How can we sleep if we don't get closer?"
"Just lie down next to me, is there anything else I need to do?"
"..."
…
Qin Yizhou lay down next to the other person, seemingly somewhat helpless: "Are you sure you can get pregnant like this?"
"Why not? Isn't it said that men and women shouldn't lie in the same bed? Lying in the same bed will result in pregnancy."
"That's not how it works."
"What is it?" Wan Ge turned to look at the person in front of her, and looking at the face so close to hers, she felt her heart beat faster for no reason.
"It's just..." Qin Yizhou was too embarrassed to say these words, so he moved closer to her, but was pushed away again before he could kiss her.
"Don't get so close to me. My senior brother said no other men are allowed to get this close to me."
"Your senior brother?"
"Yes, my senior brother is the best person to me, even better than my master." When Wan Ge spoke of him, the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn up, as if just thinking of him made her happy.
"You really like your senior brother." Qin Yizhou's silver hair instantly turned black. He seemed to sense that the person in front of him had a very different emotion when reminding that senior brother.
"Yes, I really like my senior brother. He said he wouldn't let any men down the mountain hug me or kiss me, and I promised him that."
Qin Yizhou chuckled lightly: "You also promised me that you would have a child for me."
"Yeah, so what?"
"Of course, because having a baby involves kissing and hugging."
After Qin Yizhou finished speaking, he didn't wait for her to react before grabbing her chin and kissing her.
Wan Ge was slightly taken aback, but she didn't push him away out of resistance. Instead, she felt something very different.
She didn't seem to mind the kisses Qin Yizhou gave her; the feeling was strangely familiar.
However, just as the other party was about to make another move, Wange pushed him away again: "You...you let me catch my breath."
"Okay, I'll give you time. Tomorrow I'll call the head nurse to show you what childbirth should be like." Qin Yizhou kissed her forehead again, then obediently lay down.
