Chapter 35: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Concubine
The Spring Festival came just a few days after Hatsuri gave birth.
Everyone in the palace felt that this was a triple blessing.
The system provided her with body recovery pills, so Hatsuri's body was not so weak anymore.
This was also her first time being a mother, and she had not yet recovered from the pain of giving birth.
Seeing the wet nurse holding her child in her arms, she looked a little grim at that moment.
Why do you look so ugly?
The internet says that if she keeps it up she will be good looking, and the emperor's genes are so strong, so she won't...
Even if it grows crooked, it doesn't matter, she has the skill to pinch the face, so the child can look any handsome or beautiful way he wants.
The Emperor came in to visit Hatsuri at this time.
"Li'er, tomorrow is Spring Festival. The Queen Mother said that tomorrow she will announce to the world that you will be crowned as the Queen. From now on, you will be my only Queen and wife."
Chu Li narrowed her eyes and exuded suspicion, "Your Majesty, you have three thousand beauties in the harem."
Shen Yan smiled: "But I only love you."
"The emperor has become more and more adept at speaking sweet words lately."
"Of course. I have a beloved wife and a pair of twin children. Do you think I am the happiest person in the world?"
Shen Yan held her in his arms on the bed again. Knowing that she was in confinement after giving birth, he was reluctant to touch her.
Even if you want it, you still have to control yourself.
It’s just that Shen Yan is too skilled and always makes Chu Li unable to stop in bed.
Even if she did nothing, Hatsuri could still enjoy it.
"Li'er, marrying you as my queen is my responsibility and duty to your feelings, and it is also a guarantee of my love for you. I just think that the position of queen is the position of my legal wife, and it should be you, and it can only be you."
In fact, Chu Li's body had recovered rapidly after taking the recovery pill, but she still had to pretend to be a little uncomfortable, so she took advantage of her confinement period to tease Shen Yan under the quilt.
"Your Majesty, I will not have to manage the harem, get up early every day to deal with things, and wait for people to come and pay their respects to me, right? I really can't do that. I still like to live a leisurely life like this. If I really want to be a queen serving you, I may not be able to do that."
Shen Yan had long anticipated that with her personality, she would not be able to take care of these things, and had already ordered people to hand all these matters over to the Imperial Concubine.
Since the Royal Concubine has nothing to do, let her take care of these.
"It's okay, Li'er, just be yourself, and I'll leave the rest to others. I just hope you understand that it's okay to be carefree forever."
The emperor spent his entire life proving this.
For the rest of her life, Chu Li really never thought that the emperor had never made her do anything, suffer once, or raise a child.
While he was talking, Chu Li deliberately did some unspeakable things under the quilt with her hands, which made Shen Yan unbearable for a moment.
He immediately warned her, "Li'er, do you want to have a second baby right away?"
Hearing this, Hatsuri immediately turned around and said quiet.
Finally, the Spring Festival arrived. The entire palace was decorated with lights and lanterns hung on the treetops all around.
It has been 8 days since Hatsuri gave birth.
Since she was not pregnant, Hatsuri started to jump around everywhere. After throwing the child to the wet nurse, she prepared to tidy herself up.
She has not yet seen the child.
Except that the Queen Mother often came to look after him.
Today is her first day as queen.
She had never dressed herself so carefully before, and when she put on the queen's robes, she realized how much she had changed since coming into this world.
Originally young and ignorant, he was cautious at every step.
And now she has become a mother and queen.
It's just that she seemed to be walking with ease along the way.
There aren't as many bumpy roads as in TV dramas.
After all, I am a fast-traveling person and I have a system to follow.
She drew her eyebrows into willow-leaf shapes, which she had never drawn before, and used rouge and powder, which she had never used before. She was like the first spring flowers blooming in the wind on the branches of a tree, bright and gorgeous.
Counting the days, it has been more than a year since she entered the palace.
But she still skipped the complicated canonization ceremony. On a very ordinary day, on a very ordinary morning, she changed into the queen's clothes and became the queen.
Suddenly, she jumped up and took out the red envelope in her hand and said to the palace maids, "Hurry up and wish me a happy new year, or I won't give you this red envelope!"
The maids immediately bowed and wished the Queen a Happy New Year. "Your Majesty, Happy New Year! From now on, I will go to the Yu Garden to pick fruits for you! As long as you promise that no one will say anything about me!"
This is a good temptation.
"Take it!"
Another servant immediately bowed and wished the Queen a Happy New Year: "Your Majesty, Happy New Year! I am willing to help you buy a kitchen for you, and I will be responsible for your midnight snacks from now on!"
This is even more tempting!
"This is a great reward!"
The nanny got anxious when she heard this, and quickly used her trump card, "What are you doing? Can you take care of the eldest prince and the princess? I have experience now, and your Majesty, I will help you take care of the children in the future!"
"I simply cannot refuse this! Take it!"
Chu Li directly handed the two thick stacks of red envelopes in her hand to the nanny.
Afterwards, he ran to the Imperial Concubine's palace to ask for a red envelope.
The Imperial Concubine knew she was coming, so she quickly prepared a large stack of food for her and sent her away.
She really didn't want to see Hatsuri now.
She helped her manage the harem every day with tears in her eyes, and she was considered to have sat in the supreme position and had the highest power.
Afterwards, Chuli ran to the Emperor's Yangxin Palace.
Seeing him reading a book or painting, she rushed over to hug him, then raised her hands and said, "Your Majesty, Happy New Year and best wishes for prosperity!"
And then he deliberately guided with his eyes: Red seal, red seal.
Shen Yan sighed helplessly, "It's already been prepared."
After Hatsuri took it, she found it was a huge pile of gold.
Developed, developed.
Seeing Chu Li's eyes sparkling, Shen Yan asked, "Where's mine?"
Hatsuri pretended to be polite, "I've prepared it for you a long time ago!"
Then the palace maid beside took it and found that it was a pair of shapeless shoes with strange shapes.
And I'm afraid it will leak some air when I wear it...
Looking at Hatsuri's expectant eyes.
Shen Yan could only bear it and said reluctantly: "It looks good! I like it very much!"
You can only pamper your own woman.
After getting the affirmation, Chuli pouted and looked pleadingly: "Your Majesty, will you wear it to court?"
Shen Yan actually wanted to refuse. How shabby would it be for an emperor to wear a pair of leaky shoes?
But Hatsuri threw herself into his arms and kissed him all at once, which made him a little overwhelmed.
I had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, I'll wear it."
Chu Li set her sights on the Queen Mother again, and then smiled cunningly: "Your Majesty, let's go to the Queen Mother to ask for the red envelope. Today is New Year's Eve, and the Queen Mother should give us more. After all, her grandson and daughter also need a share~"
As evening approached, Hatsuri came to eat the New Year's Eve dinner with a pile of spoils.
A snack street was specially set up in the palace according to Hatsuri's suggestion, and the palace maids, servants and guards set up stalls on this Spring Festival day because they could not go home.
The Queen Mother, the Emperor, the concubines, and Hatsuri each picked out their favorite styles, including firecrackers, fireworks, and a full range of styles.
The only things that were forgotten were her two newborn babies... and the poor emperor who was coaxing his crying twin children.
