How embarrassing would it be to hear that?
After giggling, the Seventh Princess ran away, pulling Yuanhua along: "I know, Father and Mother must have been doing something naughty. I saw it all that day, Father kissed Mother, and pressed her down on the desk in the Imperial Study."
Yuanhua blushed: "Oh my princess... why are you looking at this? You should have looked away!"
"He dodged it, but Mother didn't say anything. Father blushed, hahaha."
Yuanhua sighed and gently poked the Seventh Princess's forehead: "You, you, you truly are your mother's biological daughter."
Equally lawless!
The seventh princess stuck out her tongue and pulled Yuanhua towards the Imperial Garden.
Over here, the two finished fighting and washed up.
Yan Nangui looked at Shu Chengfeng and asked, "What's wrong? You can't even last two times? You were so arrogant just now."
"I'll deal with you tonight," Shu Chengfeng sneered.
"I'm curious, how did you suddenly become like this in broad daylight? You really didn't take your medicine?"
Shu Chengfeng offered no explanation.
What did he say?
You said I dreamt about doing *that* with you during my afternoon nap? When I woke up, I realized I was actually sleeping alone?
Then why don't you come find me right away?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yan Nangui didn't ask any further questions.
Shu Chengfeng got up, ate some snacks and drank some tea, then stood up again: "I have other things to do. You and Bao'er eat tonight, I'll come later."
Yan Nangui stared at him silently for a long time, thinking, "You really have a skill."
Just want to sleep with me for a bit?
After seeing the emperor off, Yan Nangui suddenly said, "Tsk, I was so busy making a fuss that I forgot to mention what happened."
"Then let's talk about it tonight, it's alright," Jiangxiang said with a smile.
Yan Nangui nodded and casually braided her hair. At this point, she didn't even want to comb her hair properly.
Shu Chengfeng returned to Beichen Palace and, after being busy for a while, suddenly said, "There's a girl named Yun'er in Zhaochun Palace. Go and take that girl with you... take her to serve the concubines in the back. She can serve any of them."
Yun Ji agreed, wondering what was going on. Had the maid offended His Majesty?
She's just the Empress's person, why is His Majesty showing her no respect?
He rushed to Zhaochun Palace and told the Empress.
Yan Nangui was drinking tea when he suddenly spat it all over the floor.
He then laughed so hard he collapsed on the table and couldn't get up.
Jiangxiang laughed too: "There's no such thing as Yun'er. Lately, things have been good here and in Fengxiang Palace. No new people have come in. That was just the Empress and His Majesty joking around."
Yunji: ...
Yunji: !!!
Your Majesty, you are truly admirable.
You've really gotten yourself into a jealous frenzy!
After all, he had served him for half his life. Yun Ji was not so oblivious to His Majesty's thoughts.
Most people might think that His Majesty did this to reassure the Empress, transferring away attractive people to avoid causing any misunderstandings.
Ke Yunji knew perfectly well that while His Majesty did have this intention, there was another layer of meaning. It was likely that the Empress had praised this fictitious Yun'er excessively while coaxing His Majesty.
This is what made His Majesty jealous, but His Majesty's jealousy doesn't discriminate between men and women.
Yun Ji returned to Beichen Palace, exhausted.
Shu Chengfeng was still waiting. Yun Ji sighed, "Your Majesty, there is no such person. It was just the Empress playing around with you."
Shu Chengfeng frowned: "Really?"
"Your Majesty, how could I possibly lie to you?" Yun Ji was utterly exhausted.
"Tell the Imperial Household Department that anything too beautiful and alluring should not be given to the Empress," Shu Chengfeng said.
Yunji really wanted to ask, "Are you afraid that the Empress will fall for you?" But after thinking about it, she decided not to ask. "Never mind," she thought, "I might get beaten up."
Song, the Prefect of the Imperial Household Department, was stunned upon hearing this: "What? You... I'm old and hard of hearing, did I hear that right? It was His Majesty's decree? Not Her Majesty the Empress's decree?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Yun Ji glared.
“It’s easy to handle, it’s not a big deal, just say it like that… Lord Yun, what’s going on here?” Prefect Song chuckled.
Yun Ji, who was also familiar with him, sighed and said, "Don't ask any more questions, I can't say much. Anyway, all I can tell you is that our Empress is never jealous. She doesn't care who serves the Emperor or who steps forward. But you say she doesn't care, right? Tsk, His Majesty knows what's going on."
Prefect Song laughed: "Alright, I understand. This is easy to handle, but isn't Bai Wei, the Empress's daughter, quite beautiful?"
“That’s different. That was brought from outside by Her Majesty. And the person is honest.” Yun Ji smiled and went to drink tea.
Song Fucheng thought to himself, "That's right. His Majesty once bestowed a gift upon Consort Mei Hui, but he even got her birthday wrong."
You know, if you try to manage everything, you might not be able to manage it well.
On the contrary, you gained something from ignoring it.
It's that amazing.
Perhaps there was a misunderstanding during the day, because Shu Chengfeng arrived late in the evening and his expression was strange.
Yan Nangui didn't dwell on the matter, but simply poured him tea. Shu Chengfeng, feigning indifference, indicated that he wanted to take a bath.
They went to take a bath together.
It's late at night. I've closed the door and am getting ready to rest.
Half of the lights outside were turned off, leaving only those under the eaves. They would be turned off again once the masters had gone to bed.
The lanterns have been taken down.
Yunji rested in one of the rooms where he usually stayed.
He won't serve you at night.
The eunuchs on night duty were all ready.
The palace maids had already boiled water and prepared drinking and washing supplies.
After His Majesty finished washing up, he and the Empress went into the inner room to lie down, and finally the lights were turned off everywhere.
Ai Ye, a third-class palace maid, lay down in bed and whispered, "Did you hear? Eunuch Yunji came today and said that His Majesty wants to find someone named Yun'er. But our Lady was just joking. His Majesty actually thought there was such a person."
After a moment of silence, Mai Dong said, "Actually, Her Majesty the Empress is in a high position now and lacks nothing. It's just that she doesn't have a prince. If... there were someone who is of one mind with Her Majesty and could give birth to a prince for her, and raise him as a legitimate son from a young age, that would be..."
“Ophiopogon japonicus, do you know what you’re saying?” Ai Ye exclaimed in surprise.
"No, I was just... I was just chatting with you, wasn't I?" Mai Dong smiled.
"Chatting? I shouldn't be gossiping with you like this. It's taboo. I didn't expect you to be so audacious. Who dares to be on the opposite side from Her Majesty? Who are you talking about? Yourself?" Ai Ye sneered, "What kind of person is Her Majesty? Would she raise a child born from another woman's womb? Even if she were willing, countless women in the harem would be eager to send their children to her. Would it be your turn?"
"I didn't... Don't talk nonsense. Are you telling me to die?" Mai Dong said urgently.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said today, and I'll forgive you this once as a sister. But as long as you have this intention, I'll be watching you closely. No outsiders dare to come and cause trouble, but your own servants are rebelling." Ai Ye sneered.
"I didn't, I really didn't, dear sister, please believe me. How could I dare? I swear, if I ever dare to have any romantic feelings, may I die a lonely and miserable life. May I die in childbirth, okay?"
Only after hearing her make such a solemn vow did Ai Ye relent.
