Jiang Tian fainted again this time.
She could never hold on, so Xuan Yuan Ye took some time to read a few books on bedroom arts and tried some other things...
Unexpectedly, she still couldn't bear it, and even dug her nails into his flesh...
Xuanyuan Ye was not angry. After washing her clean, Jiang Tian had already woken up.
It wasn't too late, so Xuanyuan Ye restrained himself and saved himself a break, still having time to chat with Jiang Tian.
"The young ladies will be entering the palace tomorrow. You should stay in the palace and not go out. Be careful not to offend them."
The entire Zhao Kingdom is united in its hatred of the Southern Kingdom. Jiang Tian is a princess from the Southern Kingdom who is being sent as a marriage alliance. Who knows if others might have designs on her?
Xuanyuan Ye stroked her incredibly smooth back, and Jiang Tian nestled into his arms, small and obedient.
She looked up at him and said, "This servant understands."
Xuanyuan Ye frowned slightly, suddenly feeling that the self-reference of "servant" was quite awkward.
But she had no official rank...
"From now on, you don't need to refer to yourself as a servant in front of me. Just call yourself 'I'."
"……yes."
He didn't speak, and Jiang Tian always obediently remained silent.
The two lay on the couch, Xuan Yuan Ye's hand stroking her back, surrounded by her fragrance and soft body...
It really is a haven of gentle pleasures.
Xuanyuan Ye suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
But An Yi was already knocking on the window; it was his instruction to remind him when the time came.
Xuanyuan Ye looked down at Jiang Tian's delicate face: "You should rest well and continue taking your medicine... When the time is right, I will grant you a title."
He changed his mind.
Since this woman suited his taste in every way, he couldn't let her go anytime soon, and his feelings for her seemed to be escalating.
What if we conquer the Southern Kingdom and give her a title?
His first woman shouldn't be treated so sadly.
As for the things she was worried about, with him, the emperor, protecting her, who would dare to touch her in the slightest?
After figuring things out, Xuanyuan Ye felt much better.
Before Jiang Tian could say anything, Xuan Yuan Ye didn't have time to listen.
He told Jiang Tian to continue sleeping, and then he left.
As soon as Xuanyuan Ye left, An Yi brought the medicine to her again.
Jiang Tian drank it all in one gulp.
An Yi disappeared quietly.
On that day, the carriages of the young ladies from various families stopped at the palace gate. Everyone knew that they would become empresses in the future, and no one dared to treat them with disrespect.
Everyone entered the palace in order.
Xuanyuan Ye was usually busy with government affairs and did not have time to accompany these young ladies to appreciate poetry and drink tea. He would only show up briefly when the banquet was about to begin, and the young ladies could wander around on their own at other times.
Although they claim to act on their own initiative, everyone knows in their hearts that their words and actions are definitely being recorded by someone.
All the officials knew that Xuanyuan Ye disliked arrogant people. If any young lady showed any arrogance, her dream of entering the palace would surely be shattered.
The inner palace is a place where people bury their lives, and also a place where they realize their ambitions.
The current emperor is not only exceptionally handsome, but also highly capable. Back then, when the princes caused trouble, the vassal states caused disturbances, the court was controlled by powerful families, and imperial power was slipping away... The emperor, who ascended the throne at a young age, resolved one crisis after another.
In just a few years, the Zhao Kingdom has become peaceful and prosperous, and its people live in peace and contentment.
Those days when even having enough to eat was a luxury are long gone and are now just memories.
With the emperor being so wise and powerful, the people naturally loved and respected him, and the young ladies naturally admired him.
Moreover, the position of Empress is second only to the Emperor. Even if it's not openly acknowledged, who wouldn't covet that position?
With these thoughts in mind, the young ladies perked up, striving to make a name for themselves at the palace banquet.
With the arrival of these young ladies, everyone in the palace who served them became extremely nervous.
Even Xiao Fuzi told Jiang Tian that he wouldn't be bringing her food today.
The imperial kitchen was bustling with activity, and he had been assigned several tasks, so he simply couldn't spare the time.
Jiang Tian naturally understood him and reminded him to be careful and not to offend the important person.
Xiao Fuzi was touched and quickly apologized to her.
If he doesn't deliver the food, Jiang Tian will have to fend for herself again.
There wasn't much food she could cook in her yard, which really made her feel bad.
Jiang Tian didn't feel wronged at all, as An Yi had been sending her quite a few things these past few days.
Cooking a meal isn't difficult at all.
But Jiang Tian was on her period and felt really uncomfortable, so she was too lazy to cook for herself.
She took out two of the snacks she usually made, ate them in small bites, and then couldn't stay awake any longer and lay down.
However, she hadn't been lying down for long when a food box suddenly appeared on the table in front of her.
Jiang Tian barely opened her eyes and whispered, "...An Yi?"
"Miss, would you like some food?"
An Yi usually takes care of Jiang Tian, so he is naturally aware of her situation.
Once the young ladies entered the palace, she couldn't even get a meal, and An Yi wouldn't sit idly by.
"...Thank you."
An Yi kindly brought her food, and Jiang Tian had no reason not to eat it.
She forced herself to sit down weakly and opened the food box.
The meal was even more lavish than usual.
The little eunuch who usually cooks for Jiang Tian is also extremely busy today. What is a princess who is destined to die compared to the ladies who have entered the palace?
This is the survival rule of the palace; it's normal for Jiang Tian to not have enough to eat.
An Yi was well aware of this.
But he was instructed by Xuan Yuan Ye to take good care of her, so he got food from elsewhere.
The dishes were plentiful and light, and after drinking a few sips of hot soup, Jiang Tian felt better.
But she had a very limited appetite and didn't eat much before lying down again.
Having studied medicine, An Yi naturally knew why Jiang Tian was so weak. Seeing that she had consumed some food, he packed up the lunchbox and took it away.
