Xiao Jinyan never thought about making his father understand him. No matter how busy he was reviewing memorials, he did have time to consummate the marriage. It was just a matter of whether he was willing to do so.

"Replying to Father, no."

The emperor didn't have to work overtime to review memorials for some days, so he felt a lot more relaxed and spent more time with the empress.

Hearing the prince's words, he felt very relieved, but when he thought that the prince had not yet consummated his marriage with Princess Xueyan, he couldn't help but frown.

"Then why don't you take some time to consummate your marriage with Princess Xueyan?"

Xiao Jinyan was silent for a moment, then replied, "I don't like it."

As a man, the emperor thought he understood men. Even if he was not the one he loved, what was the difficulty in consummating the marriage? "Princess Xueyan has the Xueyue Kingdom behind her. If you let Xueyan suffer injustice, and let the Xueyue Kingdom think that our Great Xia treated Xueyan badly, it was just a consummation of the marriage."

What the emperor meant was that there should be an explanation for the marriage consummation, and she didn't have to be pregnant.

Even so, Xiao Jinyan did not want to consummate his marriage with Xueyan.

He could not be as loving as his father was to his mother, who was surrounded by beauties and had three palaces and six courtyards.

In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor dotes on Concubine Ning and regards her as the one he loves most.

But the fact is not so. The love that my father has for my mother is not comparable to those women.

The paradox is that even though my father's sweetheart is my mother, it does not prevent him from sleeping with other women.

Even his mother didn't know this secret, and he only found out when he overheard his father's inner thoughts.

The emperor said in a serious tone: "Please take some time out in the next two days to consummate your marriage with Princess Xueyan. You are the crown prince, and there is a lot of power involved. I don't need to remind you."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyebrows and nodded, "Your son understands."

After leaving the imperial study, Xiao Jinyan still felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

He was probably the first person to be forced to consummate his marriage with a woman.

When I returned to the East Palace, Xueyan came. Her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had been crying.

The person Xiao Jinyan least wanted to see at this moment was Xueyan, but she just moved forward.

"Your Highness, I'm here to admit my mistake." Xueyan said while choking.

Xiao Jinyan looked at her with a cold look of guilt, "What are you admitting?"

"I went to the Empress' place today to chat about family matters, but accidentally let the Empress mention the matter of marriage consummation and asked me again and again. I couldn't lie to the Empress, so I told her the truth. I never thought that the Emperor would come to see the Empress at this time and listen to the truth."

Xueyan said, looking at Xiao Jinyan with tears in her eyes, "Your Highness, this was really an unintentional mistake."

But in his heart he was extremely proud. As long as the emperor put pressure on him, Xiao Jinyan would have no choice but to consummate the marriage with him.

It would have been fine if she had monopolized Xiao Jinyan a few days ago, but now that Xiao Jinyan is busy, Shen Liangdi even wants to monopolize Xiao Jinyan for dinner.

Who is Shen Liangdi? Why should I fight with her?

Even though Xiao Jinyan was used to hearing about the dark and scheming hearts of women, when she heard Xueyan slandering Xiaojiu, her eyes suddenly darkened, "Go back, I have something important to do."

Xueyan wiped her tears and looked at Xiao Jinyan aggrievedly, "Your Highness, are you still angry with me?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at Xueyan coldly, "Why should I be angry?"

Xueyan was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out what Xiao Jinyan was thinking. She asked carefully and tentatively, "Your Highness, are you really not angry?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "I will go to your place for dinner after I finish my work these two days."

Xueyan was delighted when she heard this, and she said softly, "I understand. I will prepare in advance."

As expected, the Emperor still needs to step in. Otherwise, with Xiao Jinyan's attitude, it's unclear when she'll be able to sleep with the Emperor and get pregnant.

Xueyan left the prince's bedroom happily.

After returning to the Qimeng Palace, Xueyan picked up the lucky bag under the pillow and placed it on her heart. This time, she wanted to have a boy so that Shen Chuwei could see him. Only those who have children would be the winner.

The news of Xueyan's upcoming emperor's sleepover soon spread throughout the East Palace, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

When Concubine Xu got the news, she went to Hehuan Palace immediately, waving her handkerchief quickly.

Shen Chuwei had just finished lunch and was about to take a nap. Before she took off her shoes, she heard Concubine Xu come in cursing.

"What's wrong?"

"I heard that His Highness will go to Qimeng Palace to have dinner and stay overnight in the next two days." Concubine Xu said as she walked to the bed.

Shen Chuwei asked: "Who told you that?"

Concubine Xu couldn't help but raise her voice, "Everyone knows about it, don't you know?"

Shen Chuwei turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. If Concubine Xu hadn't told her, she really wouldn't have known.

"Yeah?"

"Of course." Concubine Xu grabbed Shen Chuwei's hand and said, "Your Highness is not clean."

A few days ago, Xiao Jinyan asked her to believe him.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Not really. He changed his mind after just a few days.

"No, I believe in Your Highness." Shen Chuwei said and continued to take off her shoes.

"Your Highness said this to Concubine Xue in person." Concubine Xu said, and then she leaned close to Shen Chuwei's ear and whispered, "I heard that the emperor was furious and called Your Highness to the imperial study to give him a lecture."

Shen Chuwei paused in putting on her slippers.

Concubine Xu continued, "The emperor is hugging women on both sides, so he must want Your Highness to consummate the marriage as soon as possible."

Shen Chuwei understood, "Your Highness is now facing not only the issue of having an heir, but also the pressure of consummating the marriage."

Concubine Xu nodded vigorously, "Yes, Xueyan is the princess of Xueyue Kingdom. The emperor will definitely intervene in this matter. If the emperor puts pressure on you, Your Highness may be unable to resist."

Now Shen Chuwei said sincerely: "His Highness is under a lot of pressure, and I can't share his worries and work."

Concubine Xu sighed, "Even if Your Highness doesn't want to, it's no use."

Shen Chuwei also sighed, "Your Highness, it's too difficult."

Concubine Xu sighed, "Emperors have always been fickle since ancient times. I don't know if Your Highness is a fickle person or a passionate one."

At night, the emperor asked Eunuch Li to deliver a large number of memorials to the Eastern Palace as usual, and he went to Fengyi Palace himself.

The Queen, who had just finished bathing, heard that the Dog Emperor came again. She thought that the Dog Emperor must have something to ask of her, otherwise why would he go to Fengyi Palace these days?

Pretending to be asleep was impossible, so she had to bow to greet him.

The emperor walked in and saw that her hair ornaments had been removed and she was wearing a bright red dress, which set off her snow-white skin very well.

"Queen, you haven't rested yet."

The queen couldn't help but roll her eyes. Who would be here so early at this hour?

"Is the Emperor not busy today?"

The emperor said, "Since the crown prince has been reviewing memorials, he has been free for a while. This way I have time to spend with you. Are you happy?"

Queen: "..." Concubine Ning is pregnant and can't sleep with you, right? Otherwise, why would you come to Fengyi Palace? The emperor took the queen's hand and came to the bedside to sit down, "Queen, I have something to tell you."

"What does the emperor want to say?" If he wants to promote Concubine Ning to Imperial Concubine, she should get out of here as far as she can! The emperor got straight to the point and said, "It's about the Crown Prince and Concubine Shen."

Good evening, my darlings!

Keep working hard today!

If there are a lot of recommendation votes and monthly tickets, we can add more chapters!
