As dusk approached, the emperor reviewed the memorials in his hands while remotely monitoring his young wife's meals.
Under the desk, a secret guard in black faithfully reported everything he had monitored that day.
"After His Majesty left, the master summoned the manager of his shop to reconcile accounts in the morning. At lunch, he ate three steamed sea bass, three vegetarian dishes... and steamed buns. Half an hour after the meal, An San brought some medicine..."
The emperor, who had been working hard all day, took a break from his busy schedule and listened attentively to the report from the secret guards.
The young wife was having an ordinary day, and the man couldn't suppress the smile on his face when he heard it.
After listening to the report, Emperor Chengming waved his hand and the man in black who was kneeling outside the desk to report quietly flew out of the window.
The red brush held by the man's slender fingertips was suspended in mid-air, and dots of ink fell on the rice paper, smudged into small patches of black.
But the dazed man turned a blind eye and followed his heart. It is not difficult to imagine that his mind had probably drifted away.
Drifting to the village on the outskirts of the city, drifting to the people living in the village.
Eunuch Su, who always watches his master's heart, has become accustomed to his master's absent-minded appearance and has become homesick.
Recalling the scene when he first met Princess Gong, Su Ming still couldn't help but marvel at the fact that there was such a beautiful and extraordinary woman in the world.
What surprised him even more was that Prince Gong married such a beautiful woman.
Could it be that Stone Heart failed to reincarnate, so he married the fairy-like beauty home as a decoration, and was always thinking about his fairy-like sister.
He often met Concubine Xi in the palace.
Pretty is pretty. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the maids selected to enter the palace are all pretty and well-proportioned.
Concubine Xi is considered to be one of the more beautiful women in the palace, but her beauty immediately pales in comparison and becomes dull when she encounters beauty that is not of this world.
Eunuch Su Ming, who automatically compared himself with Su Ming in his heart, had to admit it.
They are sisters from the same mother, but the elder sister cannot even be as smart as the younger sister.
It’s not that Lu Chunxi is not beautiful. Prime Minister Lu is well-mannered and his wife was also a beauty famous in the capital for her beauty when she was young.
Their daughter, Lu Chunxi, perfectly inherited the advantages of her parents, and is bright, charming, and heroic.
The reputation of the most beautiful woman in the capital is not undeserved.
But compared with the second lady of the Lu family.
Su Ming's mind flashed with that face that was not like that of an ordinary person and whose beauty could not be described in human words.
He wondered why Princess Gong's beauty was not shown to others when she was secluded in her boudoir.
On the contrary, she is not as famous as Concubine Xi. Could it be that Princess Gong is deliberately hiding her abilities?
The master and servant in the hall were each more dazed than the other.
Su Ming, with dilated pupils, looked towards the small door of the inner hall. The eunuch who was bowing at the door was giving a look inside.
Their eyes met, and Su Ming subconsciously turned his head. The man beside the jade table seemed to be immersed in his work.
Su Ming hurriedly stepped out of the door lightly.
"Godfather is fine. Concubine Xi is waiting outside the palace. I dare not disturb the emperor. Godfather, please see..."
Without waiting for Su Ming to ask, the young eunuch immediately blurted out everything.
After hearing what was said, a look of hesitation flashed across his eyes, and he couldn't make up his mind.
Su Ming asked the young eunuch to wait here for a while while he went to report to his master.
Emperor Chengming was not an emperor who was greedy for women. He could even be said to be very restrained in the face of female temptation.
The ultimate goal of favoring concubines is to reproduce offspring.
He had five grown-up sons and seven princesses. Compared with the previous emperor who had many children, Emperor Chengming did not have many princes and princesses.
As an emperor, especially one with a throne to inherit in his family, Emperor Chengming naturally hoped to have many sons and good fortune.
The premise is that he has not met his young wife.
A man whose heart and eyes are filled with his young wife can no longer think of anyone else.
After listening to Su Ming's report, the man at the jade table raised his head and closed his tired and swollen eyes. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. His expression was deep, neither happy nor angry.
Just as he was about to wave his hand and send someone to dismiss Concubine Xi outside the door, Emperor Chengming changed his mind.
After all, Concubine Xi is the younger wife's elder sister, so she has to be given some face.
Just as Su Ming was about to instruct the eunuch at the door to send Concubine Xi away, he turned around and received orders from his master to change his words.
Lu Chunxi waited at the door for a long time, and the handkerchief in front of her was wrinkled again and again.
The look on her face was really bad, and she felt uneasy after thinking about it.
The guards on duty outside the palace were not close, and her charming eyes casually passed over the eunuchs guarding the door.
Lu Chunxi lowered her head, picked up the handkerchief and lightly covered her mouth.
"Go in later and keep a close eye on me. Don't let me down."
She spoke in a gentle voice, her eyes fixed on the flower bud beside her. The little palace maid lowered her neck shyly as she listened to her words, looking embarrassed.
There was both disdain and jealousy in Lu Chunxi's eyes.
Unfortunately, the little palace maid lowered her head in embarrassment and couldn't see clearly, so she spoke in a soft voice.
"I will do my best to repay your kindness, Madam."
The blushing little palace maid was very pretty. She looked up with her pearly teeth shyly suppressing her thin lips, which made Lu Chunxi very angry.
What a seductive vixen.
Thinking that he would be sending Foxy in with his own hands soon, Lu Chunxi felt very uncomfortable.
She couldn't retreat when she reached the door.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health."
Slender waist, soft voice.
An ordinary man would probably have lost control and would have stood up and personally helped his delicate and beautiful concubine up.
Emperor Chengming finished reviewing a memorial at hand before raising his hand and speaking lightly.
"Get up!"
The man didn't ask his concubine what she was doing there.
Everyone knows that the concubines have many or few ways to win favor.
"I heard that Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs these days and has not rested after noon. I specially asked Chunxi to make some cakes and send them to you. Your Majesty, please enjoy some."
