Chapter 75: Caught in Adultery
Yan Ruyu looked at Liu Zhiyuan's face, which was extremely pretty even without makeup, and her expression gradually became obscene.
Reaching out, he gently hooked Liu Zhiyuan's chin, "Yuan'er, if you're willing to be a couple with me, it's not impossible to consider it."
Although she has a normal sexual orientation, she would still consider someone as beautiful as Liu Zhiyuan.
Liu Zhiyuan felt a chill and slapped her hand away, "Don't do it."
She became more and more suspicious whether Yan Ruyu was really born and raised here, and her open-mindedness was not like that of an ancient person.
"You really don't miss the power of the harem at all?"
Yan Ruyu is now the Imperial Noble Consort, Xiao Yu has not yet established a queen, and the Queen Mother is under house arrest. It can be said that the harem is now Yan Ruyu's world. Isn't she tempted at all?
Yan Ruyu was speechless. "What are you nostalgic for? Are you nostalgic for being the leader among a group of caged birds?"
Although she seems to have a lot of power now, if you think about it, what rights does she have?
How many concubines should be punished? How many maids should be beaten to death?
What's the use? It's just to deal with a few women in the deep palace.
No matter how great the power is, it cannot go beyond this world.
To put it bluntly, the women in the harem are like canaries trapped in a cage. Let alone becoming a royal concubine, even if they become the queen, they will only be the most noble bird in the cage.
But they don’t even know what the outside world has become like, nor can they see the beautiful scenery outside. Is such a life really interesting?
She grew up with her father and fought with the army in many battles. She had seen the desert sand like snow, experienced picking lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, witnessed the waterfall plunging three thousand feet, and felt the north wind blowing the geese and the snow falling.
That was the free life she wanted.
Instead of being trapped within the palace walls for the rest of your life, with only the sky above your head as far as you can see.
Occasionally, when she saw wild geese flying by, she missed the vast sky and sea outside.
Therefore, it was impossible to let her stay in the palace.
Yan Ruyu smiled and looked at Liu Zhiyuan, "I should be leaving soon."
The reason why she stayed in the palace for seven years was not only to help the emperor keep an eye on the empress dowager and the daughter of the Chen family, but also because the emperor was too miserable and lonely. If even she left, he would not have a single friend in this cannibalistic palace.
I can't even find a place to rest occasionally.
Now that the emperor has Liu Zhiyuan, he has someone to accompany him, so she can live her own life.
Liu Zhiyuan was confused by her gaze, "Leave? Where do you want to go?"
Yan Ruyu just smiled, picked up the newly embroidered handkerchief, and became more and more satisfied the more she looked at it. She thought Zhou Lang must like it very much.
In the evening, Xiao Yu turned over Liu Zhiyuan's name card as usual. When he arrived at Zining Palace, Liu Zhiyuan was lying on the table and yawning.
Seeing Xiao Yu coming, he didn't stand up, but waved his hand casually, "Your Majesty, you are here."
These days, Xiao Yu would turn over her card every night and stay in Zining Palace every night. She had gotten used to it.
Xiao Yu's gaze fell on the corner of her slightly red eyes, where a tear had overflowed due to sleepiness.
The light red at the end of the eye looks like a blooming crabapple flower, bright and charming.
Xiao Yu's eyes darkened a little, "My beloved, what are you doing?"
Liu Zhiyuan rolled her eyes and said, "What else can I do? Wait for you."
It’s so annoying. He has to sleep at her place every day. It’s one thing to share such a big bed, but I also have to wait for him to come over every night.
She was so sleepy that she fell asleep last night, but was woken up by Jin Fu who pinched her nose and told her that according to the palace rules, she had to wait until the emperor arrived before going to bed.
God is annoying.
Why so many rules?
Xiao Yu's dark gaze lingered on her sleepy face. Under the candlelight, her fair and delicate skin was covered with a halo, as hazy as the bright moon.
"My beloved, if you feel sleepy in the future, you can go to sleep first and don't have to wait for me."
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, "Really? Then you won't come again in the future?"
Xiao Yu's face darkened. Why did these words sound so harsh?
What's the matter? Doesn't she want him to come over?
Dead woman, she can't even compete for favor!
"I just asked you to sleep first, I didn't say you couldn't come."
Liu Zhiyuan wilted again and lay back down, "Why do you come to sleep with me every night?"
Don't you have a place to sleep?
If that doesn't work, you can sleep in other concubines' palaces.
Xiao Yu's eyes darkened, "You really don't want me to come?"
Why does this sound so unpleasant?
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
"Why don't you want me to come?"
Nonsense, do you know what it means that men and women should not touch each other.
Of course, I can't say this out loud.
Liu Zhiyuan smiled wryly, "My bed is too small, it's too tight for two people to lie on it."
Xiao Yu was so angry that he laughed.
Do you dare to find a more sincere reason!
The beds of the concubines in the palace were very large, more than enough for two people to lie down, with plenty of space for her to toss and turn.
He sneered, "The bed in Yangxin Palace is big enough. If you think the bed in Zining Palace is too small, you can sleep in Yangxin Palace."
It was just a casual remark, but after I said it, an idea flashed in my mind.
Why didn't he think of letting Liu Zhiyuan move to the Yangxin Palace before, so that he wouldn't have to travel all the way to the Zining Palace every night.
The more I think about it, the more I think this method is feasible.
As for palace rules, he never paid any attention to them.
Xiao Yu patiently persuaded her, and his tone was like that of a human trafficker who kidnapped decent women.
"My beloved, do you want to live in the Yangxin Palace?"
"I don't want to." Liu Zhiyuan answered simply.
This immediately blocked Xiao Yu's next words.
"Why not?"
"It's not like I don't have a place to live."
"The Yangxin Palace is more spacious than the Zining Palace, and it has underground heating, so it's warm in winter."
Only the emperor's palace can have ground dragons. As for the palaces of concubines, no matter how favored they are, they cannot be built.
Liu Zhiyuan yawned and pointed outside. "It's so hot, what kind of dragon is this?"
It’s good enough that there’s no ice buried underground to cool down.
"I'm asleep. I'm so sleepy."
I used to not understand why the ancients always went to bed so early, but now I finally understand: it was because they were bored and had nothing to do.
Apart from going to bed early, I really don’t know what else she can do, which causes her to go to bed earlier and earlier.
Xiao Yu stared at her back, his mind active, he had to find a way to move her to the Yangxin Palace.
This way, not only do I not have to run back and forth every night, but I can also keep an eye on her at all times to prevent her from doing anything naughty.
Especially when going to the bathroom, Liu Zhiyuan must be arranged first. He doesn't want to have the same experience in the Imperial Garden again in his life!
Liu Dehai ran in in shock, "Your Majesty, something's happened to the Imperial Concubine!"
Liu Zhiyuan had already lain down. Upon hearing this, he sat up in shock from his dying state, "Who did you say was in trouble?"
"The Imperial Concubine."
Xiao Yu's eyes darkened, "What happened?"
Liu Dehai was sweating profusely and found it difficult to speak. "Concubine Chen sent a palace maid to say that the Imperial Concubine was caught having an affair with a man outside the family. Please, His Majesty, go and deal with her."
