The next day, before dawn, Zhu Wuhuan heard the sound of someone getting up beside him.
She turned her head and looked around in a daze.
After she came back from taking a shower last night, she and Feng Changye spent the second half of the night in harmony. They each occupied half of the three-meter-long dragon bed and slept in their own quilts without disturbing each other.
Since no more conflicts occurred, Zhu Wuhuan now looked at him with favor.
She yawned, "Your Majesty, won't you take a nap? It's still dark outside."
Feng Changye was getting dressed.
Hearing her voice, he turned around and glanced down at her.
In the past, when he slept alone, he didn't think it was a big deal. Because when he got up, all the eunuchs and palace maids who served him had already gotten up. Everyone accompanied him to get up early, so he didn't feel that getting up early was a big pain at all.
But now…
Seeing this woman still lying comfortably in the quilt, squinting sleepily at him, it seemed that after asking this polite question, she would roll back into the quilt and continue to sleep sweetly for two hours as soon as he left.
I suddenly feel so angry.
Why does he, the ruler of the world, have to work so hard, but his queen doesn't share his hardships?
He hooked his lips, lifted the curtain, and prepared to reach out to lift her quilt and let her get up and sit with him.
However, as he slowly approached the edge of the bed and leaned closer to her, he found that she was still half asleep and her brain was like missing a string, and she couldn't react to his actions at all.
She had no guard against his approach. As he approached, her beautiful eyes gradually opened wider and wider, filled with confusion.
Just like a cat that just woke up, when the owner approaches it, its pupils will dilate a little bit, and there will be overlapping and refraction of light inside -
Very cute and good-looking. "Your Majesty?"
She still looked at him with that confused look, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Feng Changye looked at her quietly for more than ten seconds, and suddenly his heart softened.
He very naturally extended the hand that had been stretched out in front of her to pull her quilt to her face and gently pinched it.
"Nothing, go to sleep."
After pinching it, he withdrew his hand, stood up and continued to put on his clothes.
It was as if the man who leaned over just now had no bad intentions at all.
He put on his clothes and left, opening and closing the door with a little less noise.
Zhu Wuhuan was very sleepy, so when he saw him leave, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
It's still dark now, probably just past four o'clock.
In modern times, when she doesn't have classes or part-time jobs, she sleeps until she wakes up naturally after nine o'clock.
When she was half asleep and half awake, she seemed to hear Feng Changye yelling angrily at someone outside in a low voice.
But somehow the anger soon disappeared, he whispered something and left.
There was a sudden silence inside and outside the hall.
Half an hour later.
As the sky brightened, Suqiu tiptoed into the room, lifted the curtain, and gently woke Zhu Wuhuan.
Zhu Wuhuan opened his eyes and looked at her, revealing the sleepiness that seemed like he wanted to sleep for another five hundred years.
"Your Highness, it's time for you to rise. The Emperor will be leaving court soon, and it's time for you to lead the concubines to Shoukang Palace to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager."
“…” Zhu Wuhuan got a terrible headache when he heard the word “greetings”.
When watching TV, what she likes to see most is the scene where the concubines in the palace pay their respects to the queen!
Because there will definitely be quarrels!
There will definitely be some exciting face-slapping!
Just watching it makes people's blood boil and they call it exciting.
But when it was her turn to do it herself, she was no longer excited.
Because all the open and secret struggles among the concubines will be directed at her.
She was afraid that she couldn't handle it.
"Mother?"
Seeing her mistress lying there unwilling to move, Su Qiu said distressedly, "Last night was your first time enjoying the pleasure of the Emperor. The Emperor was too unsympathetic to you. You must be exhausted, right?"
"Um?"
Zhu Wuhuan's sleepiness disappeared in an instant after she understood the meaning of Suqiu's words!
What does it mean that it’s the first time for the emperor to have sex with her? The emperor is too unkind to her?
What kind of vicious words are these!
She suddenly sat up from the bed and turned to look at Su Qiu with a look of shock on her face. "Who said that the emperor and I had a...who said that?"
Su Qiu blinked, "Everyone says so, and the Emperor has also acquiesced. Your Majesty, you..."
Just as Su Qiu said this, she saw her mother quickly rolled up her sleeves to reveal a piece of snow-white arm. The bright red toad blood on the arm made her swallow the rest of her words back into her stomach.
She stared blankly at the Empress's toad blood, "How could...how could this happen?"
Zhu Wuhuan glanced at her and thought.
I also want to ask why you are talking nonsense.
Hearing you say that the tyrant agreed, I was so scared that I thought the tyrant had drugged me and made me sleep with him while I was asleep!
After touching the toad's blood, Zhu Wuhuan was satisfied.
It’s good that you didn’t sleep.
Zhu Wuhuan was relieved, but Suqiu was panicking now!
She was so nervous that she stuttered.
"Your Majesty, you didn't consummate your marriage with the Emperor last night... so what should we do now? The news that you're favored by the Emperor has spread throughout the entire harem!"
She looked worried. "Now that your palace seal is still there, if the other concubines knew about it, they would probably secretly ridicule you, Your Majesty, for being so desperate to be favored by the Emperor that you're even thinking of such a foolish move and spreading rumors..."
Zhu Wuhuan frowned when he heard this.
She asked Suqiu, "It's only dawn now, how come this news has spread throughout the harem?"
Suqiu glanced at her secretly, lowered her head and answered carefully.
"The Imperial Recorder learned last night that the Emperor favored the Empress. He woke up in the middle of the night and wrote this important event down in the diary. Then, as soon as the palace gates opened, he excitedly ran to the Museum of Literature and History to record it..."
She swallowed hard, "Then the eunuch serving outside the Museum of Literature and History had a good relationship with him, and heard about this from him, and then... then... spread the news throughout the harem."
Zhu Wuhuan suddenly got a headache!
This damn living recorder!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't he need to let the emperor review these things before entering them into the Museum of Literature and History?"
Su Qiu whispered, "That's not necessary... Eunuch Yuan said that our emperor is generous and doesn't mind small details. He never hesitates to have the historian record anything. He only conducts random checks once or twice a year..."
Zhu Wuhuan was so angry that he had a heart attack! This tyrant!
Don’t worry about what you should worry about, and worry about what you shouldn’t worry about!
He doesn't care about such things. Does he know that an emperor's reputation is often ruined by the "truth" recorded by these daily historians?
"But the Emperor was very strange this morning."
Suqiu talked about what happened this morning again.
"When the Emperor was about to leave the palace, he suddenly came back to find the clerk and asked him to show him the daily records."
"After reading it, he angrily scolded Lord Lingshi for being presumptuous, but his anger subsided after a moment."
"He threw the diary to the clerk, and told him to show it to you later, Your Majesty, and then he left."
