But he asked again, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. Your Majesty, please don't ask the Queen Mother, otherwise it will affect our relationship."
The emperor agreed and was very happy.
But after the meal, rest became a big problem again.
Rong Xi was too sleepy to fall asleep last night and barely made it through the night, but he wouldn't mess around like that tonight.
Rong Xi pretended not to notice his slightly ugly expression, washed up and prepared to go to bed.
The emperor saw that things had come to this point, and if he didn't tell her the truth, she would probably be really angry when she found out.
After the two men lay down, the emperor began to think about how to tell this matter.
Rong Xi was also waiting for him to speak, but he didn't say anything for a long time. She really couldn't wait any longer. If she kept delaying, she was afraid that she would fall asleep like last night.
So she sat up and stared at the emperor lying on the couch.
But the emperor spoke first before she could say anything.
"Rong Xi, you should know that there are no children in the palace. It's not that the concubines can't have children, but, it's because I have a hidden illness."
He made a great determination to explain the matter to Rong Xi, and after that, as the emperor, he did not dare to look at the woman in front of him, for fear of seeing expressions of shock, pity, surprise, confusion, and disgust on her face.
If she really did, he would probably want to kill her.
But the understanding and comfort he had imagined did not come, so he tentatively raised his eyes to look at Rong Xi's expression.
Seeing her frowning at him, he thought that maybe she was just like everyone else, and felt disgusted with herself for being useless.
"Your Majesty, is this why you're so gloomy all day long?"
Rong Xi's words implied that this was just a trivial matter. After all, she was still young and didn't understand the importance of offspring to the court and him.
But he still simply replied, "Yeah!"
Rong Xi pulled the quilt closer to him, lowered her head and whispered in his ear.
"Your Majesty, I will tell you a secret. The reason why my father took my aunt into the palace as a concubine was not only because of her beauty, but also because she had a physique that was easy to get pregnant."
The emperor had never heard of this!
However, she had heard among the people that some women were easy to get pregnant. Even Concubine Li and Concubine Xin entered the palace for this reason.
Otherwise, with their looks, there would be many palace maids who were prettier than them, not to mention the concubines.
But he still has no children.
"so what?"
"Your Majesty, if I can bear your child, what reward will you give me?"
The serious atmosphere just now suddenly eased after she said this.
"Xi'er, if you can really bear me a child, I will give you whatever you want. Even if you want the stars in the sky, I will pick them for you."
"Then your Majesty, please agree. I want this number."
Rong Xi stretched out a hand. The emperor was not sure how much she would ask for. After all, he had thought she would ask for a huge amount several times before, but in the end she only asked for a hundred taels.
"This is?"
"Five thousand taels!"
Rong Xi didn't ask for much in the end. After all, the original owner was just a woman who made a living by washing clothes in the backyard. The most silver she had ever seen was the more than one hundred taels he gave her.
The emperor chuckled. He didn't even know how important this little girl was to his current offspring.
"Okay, I promise you, if you can really give me a son or daughter, let alone five thousand taels, I will give you fifty thousand or five hundred thousand taels, even if it's gold."
"Deal, one price of fifty thousand taels."
The emperor was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, watching her childishly hook her little finger and mutter to herself.
"We'll make a promise and stick together for a hundred years. If you do, you're a puppy."
After saying that, he even stamped his thumb.
After stamping the document, Rong Xi lay down directly, but now his whole body was pressed against the emperor, his hands still fiddling around in the quilt, as if he was taking off the emperor's clothes, but couldn't find the buttons.
The emperor, who was originally smiling helplessly, gradually began to breathe faster after being touched around by Rong Xi. He knew exactly what state he was in, as if he had been like this for a while last night, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Rong Xi didn't seem to want to give up. Thinking that the Hundred Poisons Invulnerability Pills and the Body Building Pills he had taken the past two nights would take two days to take effect, he prepared to return to his position.
As soon as he withdrew his hand, he was caught by the emperor.
The emperor's breathing became inexplicably rapid. Looking at the person in front of him, his heart became more and more anxious and unbearable. He even suspected for a moment whether Rong Xi had given him some medicine.
However, the remnants of tea and the cups from yesterday's drinking were sent to the Imperial Hospital for examination, and no abnormalities were found.
He slowly approached Rong Xi's lips, thinking that she was still an inexperienced young girl, and his hands moved more gently.
He comforted her gently, "Xi'er, don't be afraid."
As the emperor lowered his head and kissed her, everything fell into place...
The emperor was even more puzzled. Could it be that he was cured? It could last so long at a time, and he felt that he could do it again.
With the idea of giving it a try, a young woman who was about to fall asleep felt a barrage of kisses falling on her body again.
The kiss made her uncomfortable, so she put her arms around the emperor's neck, raised her head, and gently kissed the emperor on the lips.
This kiss made the emperor lose his mind. Unlike the first time, the gentle and tender kiss became a little fierce...
"Xi'er, breathe!"
Rong Xi's eyes were blurry and he finally fell into drowsiness.
Just before falling asleep, I heard the emperor say, "Xi'er, give me a child."
Rong Xi lost consciousness after taking the fertility pill.
The emperor personally cleaned Rong Xi before holding her to sleep, stroking her belly with his left hand. He thought, how wonderful it would be if he could have a child here.
.
The next day, when Rong Xi woke up, it was already bright. She felt a pang in her heart. She must have overslept. Why didn't anyone call her? If she went there now, she would probably be ridiculed by the concubines and punished by the empress dowager.
Oh, it’s such a headache.
Zhizi brought in some water for Rong Xi to wash up, and saw that she looked unhappy.
"Gardenia, why didn't you wake me up?"
Zhizi knelt down quickly. Although she had not spent much time with this empress, she could tell that Concubine Chun was a very easy-going person and would never make things difficult for the palace maids.
The first time I saw her with such an expression, my heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Your Highness, it was His Majesty who told me before he left not to wake you up and to let you sleep a little longer. That's why I didn't dare to come in and disturb you."
"Did His Majesty say that? Well, get up, pack up quickly, and go to the Queen Mother to apologize."
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Jinsu, who is beside His Majesty, has sent a message saying that His Majesty wants you to rest well. He has already informed the Empress Dowager and will come to you after the court session."
