I understand, this time it's the Emperor and his wife!
He remembered a minister and an empress having met once before.
Yinzhen looked at Le Shu with scrutinizing and probing eyes, and comforted her, "Madam, don't be afraid. I called you here because I have something to ask you."
"Your Majesty, please ask. I will answer all your questions without reservation."
"I've heard that your husband and my Consort were childhood sweethearts and were once engaged. Is that true?"
Le Shu looked troubled, with a hint of fear in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I have never heard of this matter, and my husband has never mentioned the Imperial Concubine. Your Majesty, please investigate!"
Husband and wife are one; their fortunes are intertwined. If the husband and the concubine have an improper relationship, how can the wife expect a good end?
She didn't know if the marriage agreement was real, but she knew that the childhood sweetheart relationship was real. On their wedding night, her husband was unwilling to consummate the marriage, and the name he kept repeating in his drunken state was not something she could easily mistake.
Yinzhen said sternly, "A guard saw your husband in the Consort's palace. He and the Consort were alone in a room and stayed inside for a long time."
Le Shu's eyes were filled with panic: "This is impossible! My husband wouldn't be so confused..."
"My evidence is conclusive, and the Imperial Concubine has already admitted it. Do you think I'm deceiving you, Madam?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Yue Shu said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I truly knew nothing about this."
"So what if you don't know? You are the wife of Minister Yin. Your husband has made a mistake, and I am constrained and unable to deal with Minister Yin. But a wife must always pay the price for her husband's mistakes."
Yinzhen added a twist, transforming the wife of a court official into a powerful minister capable of restraining the emperor.
Le Shu looked at him pitifully: "I wonder how Your Majesty requires me to repay my husband's debts?"
"Madam, come closer."
Le Shu obediently approached.
Yinzhen's eyes shone with satisfaction: "Madam is very beautiful, a different kind of beauty from Consort Gui. Minister Yin has such a stunning beauty yet he turns a blind eye to her, which is really too unkind to women. Minister Yin has favored Consort Gui on my behalf and neglected his wife, so I will favor Madam on his behalf. What do you think, Madam?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Shu's eyes flashed with terror: "Your Majesty, this act violates human ethics and moral principles; Your Majesty must not do this!"
Yinzhen scoffed, "If anyone with the surname Yin can do it, why can't I? He didn't even consider my feelings when he took liberties with my Consort. He wasn't afraid that it might implicate her after the incident. Why should you reject me for such a person? After all, they were the ones who acted unjustly first. My lady, we're just repaying each other in kind!"
Le Shu was bewitched. She thought about how they hadn't consummated their marriage yet, and how her husband was not only neglecting her but also having an affair with his ex-lover. They were having fun, but they didn't care about her life or death.
The official is right; it's just a matter of retribution.
Her attitude softened, her eyes softened, and she gradually began to compromise.
Seeing this, Yinzhen laughed and pulled the two into his arms, burying his face in her neck, gently sniffing and inhaling, his eyes filled with a hazy enjoyment: "My lady smells so good, it's just that Prime Minister Yin doesn't know what's good for you!"
The newlywed woman, who hadn't even consummated her marriage yet, couldn't withstand the stimulation of such a seasoned flirtatious technique. She immediately went limp and collapsed into his arms.
"Your Majesty, you must not."
They may verbally refuse, but their actions betray their words.
Yinzhen chuckled: "Your words sound a bit hard, madam. Let me taste them and see if they really are hard."
After a while, the sound of a woman sobbing and panting could be heard in the air: "Madam's mouth is not hard, it's very soft."
Le Shu's face flushed bright red: "Your...Your Majesty~"
With her clothes scattered on the ground, Yinzhen exclaimed, "My lady is so fair-skinned!"
After a while: "Very soft!"
After a long pause, he said, "She's so tender and pretty. Minister Yin really doesn't know what's good for her. He's letting me have my way."
Le Shu trembled all over, her eyes filled with fear and excitement, her whole body glowing pink.
After a long while, Yinzhen and Yue Shu burst into tears. Yinzhen looked surprised and said, "I never thought that Minister Yin would be willing to give up such a beautiful woman as his wife. They didn't even consummate their marriage. Now she's returned to her rightful place."
As we all know, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were surnamed Zhao, which is quite interesting.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to have mercy on this humble woman!"
"Lord Yin serves the country and has no time to cherish his wife. As the emperor, I must care for my court officials and take good care of your wife on Lord Yin's behalf. Do not be afraid, my wife. I love you, cherish you, and pity you. Do you feel it, my wife?"
Le Shu naturally sensed it; its presence was very strong.
"Your Majesty!"
"Minister Yin is often away on official business and cannot return for a long time. My lady is lonely in her secluded chambers. I will make sure that my lady is a bride every day. Would my lady be happy?"
"Of course I'm happy... truly happy..."
"Madam is truly made of water. As the saying goes, 'The sun sets beyond the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea; to see a thousand miles further, climb one more story.' I wonder how many stories Madam has climbed?"
Yellow Crane Tower: ?_? I'm not clean anymore
Yue Shu: "How can Your Majesty so desecrate ancient poems?"
Yinzhen chuckled: "How can it be considered a desecration of ancient poetry? As the saying goes, 'Viewed from the side, it's a ridge; viewed from the front, it's a peak; its appearance varies depending on distance and height. One cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because one is in the mountain itself.'"
"As my lady once said, have you forgotten? I long to gaze upon your magnificent peaks every day, and I wish I could bury my bones and blood in your sacred Mount Lu!"
Le Shu: Is this peak, this ridge, this Mount Lu a proper peak and ridge mountain?
Su Shi: ...
Forget it, I can't ask. Cultured people act like scoundrels. Even if she's learned a lot about ancient culture, when it comes to application, she's still not as good as the real "ancients".
