The men in black witnessed the entire concubine ceremony.
The girl who looked similar to Xiaojiu became the Crown Princess.
And the whereabouts of his son Xiaojiu is still unknown.
He had originally planned to leave tonight, but he sat on the roof, listening to Concubine Xu's drunken talk.
There was only one palace lantern burning in the room, and the light was a little dim.
"pink clouds…"
The maid who was keeping watch at night was probably asleep, and no one could hear Concubine Xu's low calls.
The man in black came to the table quietly, picked up the teapot, took out the teacup and poured a cup of tea. His movements were smooth and made no sound.
After putting down the teapot, he walked to the bed with the teacup in his hand, and saw a hand reaching out from inside the bed, grabbing the bed curtain.
"Why would a girl drink wine?" The man in black lifted the bed curtain with one hand and saw Concubine Xu's half body exposed outside the quilt. Her green suspender dress could not cover her slender white arms.
Her waist-length hair was a little messy and covered half of her face, and the exposed part was unusually red.
Maybe because he studied martial arts and was more observant, he remembered that the last time he saw her, she was rounder than now.
Now, her arms are slender, giving the illusion that she is very fragile.
Concubine Xu felt dizzy and groaned uncomfortably: "I'm so thirsty..."
The man in black heard her groaning in pain, sat down beside the bed, pulled up the quilt with one hand to wrap her body in it, leaving only her head exposed, then picked her up and handed the teacup to her lips.
Concubine Xu found the water source and drank.
The man in black lowered his eyes and watched her drinking water like a child. The water that she didn't have time to swallow flowed from the corner of her mouth all the way to her neck. He subconsciously stretched out his fingers to wipe it off for her.
Girls' skin is much more delicate and smooth than boys'.
His fingers paused, then he withdrew his hand.
After drinking enough, Concubine Xu turned her head away and said, "That's enough."
The man in black laid her on the bed, then stood up and placed the teacup on the round table.
After the beginning of summer, the temperature gradually rose, and because of the alcohol I had drunk, I felt hotter than usual, and I covered myself with the quilt to make it even hotter.
Concubine Xu kicked the quilt away, half of her body exposed. She turned over and hugged the quilt, pressing her legs against it, showing off her perfect body curves.
She groaned uncomfortably.
“It’s so hot…”
This was the scene he saw when the man in black turned around and came to the bed. With a gloomy look in his eyes, he bent down and pulled the quilt to cover her, but Concubine Xu grabbed his wrist.
The man in black paused and looked at Concubine Xu, then heard her muttering, "Can you take me away from here? I feel so uncomfortable!"
The man in black understood what she had heard, that she had not served in the emperor's bed for more than two years and had not become the crown princess, so she regretted entering the palace and wanted to leave.
He snorted: "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"
If she doesn't enter the palace, she won't have to compete for favor with a bunch of women. With the status of Concubine Xu, she can marry into a wealthy family and become the mistress of the house instead of being a concubine.
At this time, Concubine Xu was in a state of half sleep and half wakefulness. In her dream, she was in the desert, the sun was shining brightly, she was thirsty and hot, and she felt dizzy and uncomfortable.
Suddenly she met a man who gave her water. It was as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and she desperately wanted someone to take her out of the desert.
"I don't want to stay here. It's too uncomfortable." Concubine Xu almost cried in her dream. How could she, who had been spoiled since childhood, endure the desert climate? The quilt that the man in black had covered Concubine Xu with was pushed away by her, revealing half of her body.
Because she was lying flat, the curves of her upper body were clearly visible.
The man in black looked at her and stayed on her for a while, then suddenly let down the bed curtain to cover Concubine Xu's sleeping form and also block his own view.
Concubine Xu had lost her lifeline, and she broke out in a cold sweat and woke up from her nightmare, "Ah!"
The man in black, who was about to climb out the window to leave, heard the scream, stopped, turned around and walked to the bedside, reaching out to lift the bed curtain, but when he thought of what she was wearing, he withdrew his hand.
"What's wrong?"
When Concubine Xu heard the familiar voice, she was stunned for a moment. Then she pulled open the bed curtain and saw the man in black standing beside the bed. She was stunned again.
Before Concubine Xu could react and ask, a man's teasing voice came from above her head.
"Are you seducing me?"
The drunk Concubine Xu reacted slower than usual. She lowered her head to look at her clothes, then realized something and immediately grabbed the quilt to wrap herself up, leaving only her head exposed.
"Why are you in my room in the middle of the night?"
The man in black looked Concubine Xu up and down, with a teasing smile on his lips: "With your figure, what's there to hide?"
Concubine Xu's face turned red with anger when she heard this. "What's wrong with my figure? I have a great figure. If you don't know how to appreciate it, there will naturally be people who do."
The man in black chuckled: "How bad is your vision?"
Concubine Xu was best at arguing with people, but in front of the man in black, her forte disappeared.
After a long while, he finally said, "No matter how bad it is, it's still better than you."
The man in black was not angry, "You want to leave the palace?"
She only told Shen Chuwei that she wanted to leave the palace. How did the man in black know what she was thinking?
She looked at the man in black with surprise, "How did you know?"
The man in black kindly reminded: "If you want to leave the palace, do it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to get married when you are old."
Concubine Xu: "..."
Tonight, many officials were drunk and were supported by their subordinates and colleagues as they left the palace.
Even Xiao Jinyu, who usually didn't drink, had a few drinks today and returned to Qiancheng Hall with the help of his personal guards.
When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Miss Han sitting at the table waiting for him.
Miss Han stepped forward, waved away the guards, and helped the drunken Xiao Jinyu back to the room.
"Why did you drink so much? If someone doesn't know, they would think you were getting married today." Miss Han helped Xiao Jinyu to sit down on the bed, but was knocked down on the bed by Xiao Jinyu.
Xiao Jinyu looked at him and chuckled twice: "If I were to get married, I would definitely be happier than today."
Miss Han supported herself on the bed with both hands, lowered her eyes and looked at the silly Xiao Jinyu, "When are you getting married?"
Xiao Jinyu paused when he heard this, as if he was thinking about this question seriously.
But he was drunk and his head was like paste, and he couldn't think of anything.
Miss Han's slender fingers touched Xiao Jinyu's handsome face, and her cold voice carried a fatal temptation, "Then will you marry me, okay?"
Xiao Jinyu's mind was stuck for a moment.
Seeing that he remained silent, Miss Han put her finger on his lips, "Prince Yu..."
Xiao Jinyu seemed to be bewitched and even forgot to resist.
* The next morning Xiao Jinyan woke up early because he had just gotten married and didn't have to go to the morning court.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, who was sleeping obediently beside him like a cat.
Without the bridal chamber, he always felt like something was missing.
He stroked her delicate little face with his hand and called out, "Xiaojiu, it's time to wake up."
Seeing that she didn't react, Xiao Jinyan's eyes fell on her pink lips. He couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her.
No matter how soundly you sleep, you will wake up from such a passionate kiss.

“Mmm…”
Shen Chuwei opened her eyes with difficulty, and seeing the handsome face so close to her, she called out in a daze: "...Jinyan."
Xiao Jinyan laughed softly: "It's time to get up."
Shen Chuwei was so sleepy that she stretched out her arms, hugged Xiao Jinyan's neck, and snuggled into his arms.
"Let me sleep a little longer." The coquettish tone was like cotton candy.
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the person who had crawled into his arms. He felt such a soft jade in his arms that he felt a little moved for a moment.
"Today I have to pay my respects to my father and mother and offer them tea, so I have to get up."
Shen Chuwei rubbed her eyes. She almost forgot that in ancient times, one had to greet and offer tea to one's parents-in-law. There were even more rules in the palace.
"The parents-in-law are the most important. Get up, get up."
With Chunxi's help, Shen Chuwei washed up and started to put on makeup.
On her first day as Crown Princess, she went to pay her respects to her parents-in-law, and was very particular about her attire and hairstyle.
Shen Chuwei looked at her noble hair and luxurious hair accessories in the bronze mirror.
She thought it was only necessary on the day of the canonization, but it turned out that such noble and luxurious clothes were needed every day. Then it was time to wear clothes. She found that clothes also had to be particular. The Crown Princess had to dress appropriately every day, which meant that the clothes were luxurious and complicated. Chunxi admired her own craftsmanship and asked with some pride, "Master, does it look good?"
Shen Chuwei looked at herself in the mirror. Her makeup was heavier than usual, highlighting the elegance and grace of the Crown Princess.
"It looks good, but it's too useless."
Chunxi was confused, "Waste man?"
Xiao Jinyan came over at this time and said, "It's time to go."
"Yeah." Shen Chuwei stood up, lifted her skirt and followed Xiao Jinyan out of the East Palace.
Inside Fengyi Palace After the emperor finished his morning court session, he came to Fengyi Palace, intending to have breakfast with the empress.
Since the Queen returned from leaving the palace, her health has not improved, and the imperial physician said she needs to rest.
I haven't stayed in Fengyi Palace for several days.
These days, the emperor has been resting in the Yangxin Palace and has not asked his concubines to sleep with him.
The emperor entered the bedroom, and after the queen bowed, he stepped forward and helped her up, "Queen, are you feeling better?"
The Queen said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."
Every time she said it was okay, but every time when he wanted to stay overnight in Fengyi Palace, the Queen would make excuses saying she was not feeling well.
Qingying walked in with small steps and reported: "Your Majesty, Empress, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess come to pay their respects."
"Let them in," the emperor ordered.
"Yes." Qingying lowered her eyebrows, nodded, and walked out.
The emperor took the queen's hand and led her to the throne.
The queen lowered her eyes and glanced at the two people holding hands. After this period of time, the emperor would hold her hand at every turn, and she had to let him do so.
The older you get, the more problems you have!
When Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei walked in, the emperor and the empress were already sitting on the throne.
When meeting your parents-in-law for the first time as a daughter-in-law, you need to kneel down and kowtow.
Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei said in unison, "Your son pays respects to your father, the emperor, and your mother, the empress."
Qingying came over with the new tea.
Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei successively raised their tea cups to offer tea to the Emperor and the Empress.
The queen took the tea and took a sip. She looked at Shen Chuwei with a smile on her face, "Okay, everyone get up."
It was the first time since the emperor came back that he saw the queen smile, but not at him.
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Father and Mother."
Xiao Jinyan took Shen Chuwei's hand and stood up, standing in the middle of the hall, waiting to be taught.
The queen put down the teacup in her hand and said, "I will go to the Hehuan Palace to check on Taotao and Susu later."
What he meant was that he wanted the Crown Princess to stay and go back to the East Palace with her later.
The emperor rushed to answer after hearing this: "I have been busy these days and haven't seen Taotao and Susu. After breakfast, I will take some time to go with you to see them."
I am so busy but I still take time to accompany you. The Queen should be happy, right? Queen: "..." Who wants you to accompany me?
