That afternoon, Ji Xiangying's house arrest order was lifted, but his position was changed from Ji Jun to Ji Ce Jun.
"What did my grandmother tell His Majesty? Why did they only lift my confinement order but not restore my position?"
Xiao Yuan knelt on the ground and massaged Ji Xiangying's legs, whispering, "The Marshal just sent a message in, saying that he heard from His Majesty himself that he wants to support you to become the Emperor."
"real?"
Ji Xiangying's eyes suddenly lit up. The Imperial Noble Lord was a co-empress. If he became the Imperial Noble Lord, with the support of his grandmother, wouldn't the harem be his world?
Therefore, Ji Xiangying was no longer too concerned about the matter between Jun and Cejun. Since they already had the watermelon, who would care about the tiny sesame seeds?
Just as he was about to ask something else, someone outside suddenly shouted, "His Majesty has arrived."
...
"Your Majesty."
When Su Man arrived at the inner hall, the palace maids were kneeling on the ground, but there was no sign of Ji Xiangying.
"Where is your master?" Su Man looked at Xiaoyuan who was kneeling in the front.
Xiao Yuan glanced in the direction of the gauze curtain and lowered his head again, "To answer your Majesty, our master didn't sleep well for most of the night before and is still resting inside."
Su Man understood immediately. What did he mean by not sleeping well? It was obviously because she punished him and he was throwing a tantrum.
"I understand. You all can go down."
"yes."
After everyone had left, Su Man reached out and drew aside the gauze curtain, then walked over to the bed. Ji Xiangying was lying on his side with his back to her.
Hearing the footsteps, Ji Xiangying tilted his head, then immediately turned back, snorting, "Your Majesty, why did you come to see Xiangying? Did Xiangying do something wrong again and need to be punished?"
Although both of them were throwing tantrums, Feng Jun was cute and funny when he was angry, while Ji Xiangying only complained and blamed.
Su Man didn't get angry. Instead, she sat on the edge of the bed and said nonchalantly, "Of course I have to punish you. Let me think about what punishment I should give you."
"You dare!"
Ji Xiangying jumped up from the bed, "If you punish me again, I will..."
Su Man's eyes were slightly cold, "What about you?"
Fortunately, Ji Xiangying was not stupid enough to mention the marshal at this time. He said arrogantly, "Then I will never talk to you again."
Although his every move was annoying, his good looks managed to neutralize the situation a bit and prevent Su Man from getting angry on the spot.
She casually picked up a jade pendant and glanced at Ji Xiangying's face, "Naughty."
Ji Xiangying was young after all, and after being coaxed by Su Man, he was not as angry as before. He got off the bed, sat barefoot beside Su Man, his eyes wandering around Su Man.
"Your Majesty, how long will you continue fasting for the late emperor?"
The two were so close that Su Man could even see the blue veins on his slender neck. The bulges were jumping, showing the vitality of the young man.
Su Man retreated without leaving a trace, "It will take at least a month."
Ji Xiangying's face fell, "So long."
Su Man thought he would calm down after hearing this, but Ji Xiangying suddenly hugged her, and his hot breath fell on her ears.
"Your Majesty, a month is too long. Please be kind to Xiangying."
As he spoke, he pulled Su Man's hand and put it into his clothes, as if this could make her change her mind.
"You always said Xiangying was a child before. Don't you want to see if Xiangying has grown up now?"
“…”
Su Man did not refuse, and followed his movements to put her hand into his collar inch by inch.
But Ji Xiangying was obviously too young and lacked self-control. Before anything happened, his breathing became unstable, his face flushed, and his grip on Su Man loosened.
Su Man took the opportunity to withdraw her hand. Her eyes were clear and she didn't show any reluctance. "Xiang Ying, I told you, on the anniversary of the late emperor's death, no nonsense is allowed."
Ji Xiangying bit her lip and looked at Su Man with a very resentful look, "Your Majesty, you don't want to find someone else, do you?"
Su Man was helpless. "What are you thinking? I'm going back to the Qinzheng Palace. If you don't believe me, go ask the servants around me. If you still don't believe me, I'll call all the servants from the palaces to you tomorrow. They won't lie, right?"
The servants of each palace...
Ji Xiangying's heart moved. Su Man's words reminded him.
Yes, in this harem, if you want to be alert and have a keen eye, you still have to have your own spies.
Su Man saw that the message had been delivered, so he returned to the Qinzheng Hall on the pretext of dealing with state affairs.
...
Yes, Su Man deliberately reminded Ji Xiangying to place spies in various palaces. In fact, she had already arranged the candidates, but there had never been a suitable opportunity.
However, now she can use Ji Xiangying's hand to place whoever she wants without anyone noticing.
In this way, not only did Di Zixiao and Zi Yi, the favored ones, have new people around them, but Su Man herself also had a palace maid named Wu Xia around her.
Before Su Man could do anything, Nong Shuang showed great hostility towards Wu Xia's appearance.
That day, she took advantage of Wu Xia's absence to complain to Su Man.
"Your Majesty, Wu Xia was recommended by Ji Cejun. She might be the Marshal's man. It's better to send her away, lest she do harm to you."
Su Man frowned after hearing this, as if she was seriously considering her suggestion. She thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense, but Xiang Ying just sent someone here. If I don't accept her, who knows how he'll make trouble. How about this, let her serve for a while first. If she has any other intentions, then drive her away."
"Yes, Nong Shuang understands."
Just when Nong Shuang thought the matter had been resolved, Su Man suddenly said, "During this period, to prevent her from doing anything out of line, let her move in with you. Let her stay with you on a regular basis, and you can help me keep an eye on her."
