Judging from her expression, if it were the emperor's bed, she probably wouldn't even dare to sleep on it.
Mo Chenyuan gritted his teeth and explained to her, "This is the Imperial Study. The bed you are on is where I usually take a nap. It is not the Dragon Bed. Sleep peacefully."
Hearing him say that, Jiang Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But even after lying down, she couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.
Mo Chenyuan changed into the dragon robe because he had to go to court in an hour.
With nothing to do, he picked up a book and secretly watched Jiang Tian's movements.
Knowing that she couldn't sleep because she was nervous, Mo Chenyuan comforted her for a while.
Exhausted, Jiang Tian leaned against Mo Chenyuan's chest and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
Seeing that she was asleep, Mo Chenyuan went out and gave Li Gonggong a lot of instructions.
From the moment the Emperor carried a woman into the Imperial Study, the storm raged within Eunuch Li.
He had always hoped that the emperor would soon fill the harem, but who would have thought that the scene he saw in his dream would actually happen before his eyes.
But he didn't know why the emperor didn't bestow a title upon this woman, but instead arranged for her to be a palace maid.
All of the Emperor's instructions were to ensure the woman's well-being, but things that could have been resolved with just a promotion were instead handled in a roundabout way. Eunuch Li was puzzled but dared not speak out, and simply arranged everything according to the Emperor's instructions.
The next day, as soon as Jiang Tian woke up, she was led by Mo Chenyuan's trusted palace maid and changed her clothes.
Eunuch Li was quite fond of Jiang Tian. While other men of fifteen or sixteen already had many wives and concubines, the Emperor was already eighteen and still didn't have a single concubine.
Eunuch Li was truly anxious.
Therefore, even though he could tell that Jiang Tian was only pretty and a little older, he was still very attentive to her.
After instructing her on some matters concerning tending to the flowers and plants, Eunuch Li took her to the palace maids' quarters and specifically introduced Jiang Tian as a relative of his. She had previously worked in another palace but later received the Emperor's approval to tend to the flowers and plants.
If other palace maids treat her badly, and this gets back to Eunuch Li, he won't let them get away with it.
Eunuch Li was a favorite of the emperor; who would dare to oppose him?
Everyone readily agreed.
Upon learning that Jiang Tian was twenty-nine years old and had not yet been released from the palace, the young palace maids became even more wary of her. If she hadn't been given important responsibilities, how could she have remained at such an advanced age?
So, in just one day, Jiang Tian was already thriving.
The young palace maids called her "sister" one after another, and since her work wasn't difficult, she quickly got the hang of it.
After Mo Chenyuan finished his court session, he asked about Jiang Tian, and Eunuch Li reported the truth to him.
When Mo Chenyuan heard that she had become the elder sister of the palace maids, his expression was ambiguous, as if he were smiling but not smiling.
The side room where the palace maids lived was a shared room for several people. He knew that Jiang Tian was a light sleeper, and in that kind of environment, she probably wouldn't sleep well.
Mo Chenyuan planned to make her suffer for a day first, and then change her where she lived.
That's what he was thinking. As night approached, Mo Chenyuan couldn't help but worry that Jiang Tianzhen wouldn't be able to sleep well.
She's not sleeping well, and she might have a headache the next day...
I don't know how bad her injury is. Making her suffer will definitely slow down her recovery...
After much deliberation, Mo Chenyuan could no longer sit still. With a stern face, he instructed Eunuch Li to summon Jiang Tian to take night duty.
Seeing that the Emperor's expression was not good, Eunuch Li quickly went to call Jiang Tian.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Mo Chenyuan dismissed all the other palace servants, leaving only him and Jiang Tian in the palace.
"Get up, stop pretending."
Mo Chenyuan had already seen the smile in Jiang Tian's eyes, and with a cold snort, he told her to come over.
Wearing a palace maid's uniform, Jiang Tian appeared more gentle and sweet than before.
Jiang Tian walked over and looked at him: "Why did you call me over in the middle of the night?"
"Are you comfortable living in the palace maid's quarters?" Mo Chenyuan asked her in return.
"Those girls were really nice to me. We slept together, it was lively."
Knowing she was being stubborn, Mo Chenyuan didn't bother to respond. He simply lifted her hair and saw that the wound was almost healed, finally putting his mind at ease.
"You still haven't told me why you called me over?"
Jiang Tian had a smile on her face, which was much better than her dejection yesterday.
Mo Chenyuan moved his hand and pulled her onto his lap, making her face him.
"Why did I call you? It's because I was worried you wouldn't sleep well over there."
"Since Your Majesty was worried that I wouldn't sleep well, you still arranged that place for me. I thought you were going to give me a hard time."
Seeing that Jiang Tian had guessed it, Mo Chenyuan did not deny it: "It seems that my heart is still too soft."
Jiang Tian pinched his cheek and laughed, "Then you'd better harden your heart a bit in the future."
Mo Chenyuan was not in a good mood after having a big argument with the Prime Minister in court today.
Now that Jiang Tian is by his side, he feels much more relaxed.
Not long after, his hand unconsciously began to grope around Jiang Tian's waist, but Jiang Tian didn't move and let him do as he pleased.
Sensing Jiang Tian's lack of resistance, Mo Chenyuan's patience suddenly waned.
His movements became a little hurried.
After kissing Jiang Tian's lips for a while, Mo Chenyuan picked her up and carried her towards the dragon bed.
Jiang Tian was initially responding to him, but seeing his posture, she started to struggle.
"No, we can't go there."
Mo Chenyuan sometimes really couldn't figure out what this woman was thinking.
His voice was hoarse: "Why?"
Jiang Tian didn't say anything, she just kept shaking her head: "I'm scared, I don't want to go there."
Mo Chenyuan narrowed his eyes: "Are you afraid that if I go there, I'll issue an imperial decree or something?"
Jiang Tian remained silent, but her eyes conveyed the same meaning: if she went to the emperor's bed and the female official recorded it, she would have no choice but to be granted an official title.
