Tang Baozhu felt incredibly shy under the Emperor's naked gaze. It was her first time doing this, and she was completely inexperienced, unsure of what to do with her hands and feet, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing the beautiful woman in front of him blushing, Situ Rui couldn't bear to let her go. He picked up Tang Baozhu and carried her to the bedroom.
That night, Tang Baozhu was like a pancake being tossed and turned, constantly being roasted. The emperor was not a weak scholar; he looked thin, but in reality, his muscles were quite firm when he took off his clothes.
She had thought that after being poisoned, her body would be weak and her sexual function would be affected, but she never expected it to be so amazing. She felt like she was flying, and the feeling was wonderful.
Situ Rui was also very satisfied with the beauty in his arms. She looked petite and delicate, but had everything she should have, and even that part of her body was incredibly alluring.
It seems I can come to this Tang Beauty place more often in the future. After all, since I can't have a child anyway, I might as well sleep with the one who makes him feel comfortable.
~~ ...
When Tang Baozhu woke up, it was already broad daylight. She was still groggy and her whole body ached terribly. She subconsciously looked around and thankfully the emperor was no longer there.
When I came to my senses and realized where I was, I was filled with relief. Luckily, I didn't have to go and pay my respects, otherwise I would definitely have been punished for being late.
Thinking of last night, Tang Baozhu couldn't help but blush. It was her first time in two lifetimes, but the experience was quite good. The emperor's technique was excellent, and he didn't make her feel uncomfortable at all.
At first, he was quite considerate, but later even begging for mercy was useless; he treated her like an animal.
Thinking of what happened last night, she quickly came to her senses, took a fertility pill from the warehouse and swallowed it. She hadn't forgotten what her purpose was in entering the officialdom.
If the emperor is to die and the country is to be at peace, he must have a son; otherwise, if the people fight for the throne, they will suffer.
If I were to bear him several more sons, I wonder if Heaven would reward me with merit, since I would have prevented a calamity.
Tang Baozhu deliberately made a little noise, and soon, the voices of palace maids came from outside, urging them to come in and serve her.
"Your Majesty, this servant congratulates you! The Emperor is very pleased with you. When he left, he even said not to disturb your rest and to let you sleep a little longer. It is clear that the Emperor still cares about our Your Majesty."
Tang Baozhu pretended to be shy, lowered her head and didn't say anything, letting them help her dress, wash up and comb her hair.
She didn't believe that the emperor would have feelings for her just because they slept together once. Judging from the few women in his harem, all of low rank, she knew he wasn't a generous person.
After washing up, I was eating my belated breakfast when I heard Eunuch Li's voice outside, which sounded like the emperor had bestowed a reward upon me.
Quickly put down your bowl and chopsticks, and have a palace maid call Eunuch Li in.
"This old servant greets Your Majesty."
Tang Baozhu stood up from her seat and gently helped Eunuch Li up. After all, he was a favorite of the emperor, so he had to be treated well. "Eunuch Li, please get up quickly. What is the emperor's decree?"
"Your Majesty, as soon as His Majesty returned, he found some items in the storeroom, saying he intended to keep them for Your Majesty to play with. If Your Majesty had not yet gotten up, he said to leave them there for now, and if Your Majesty got up, he would have this old servant bring them to Your Majesty. I just happened to hear the meal being served here, so I thought Your Majesty should be awake, and this old servant quickly brought them over."
"I'd like to trouble Eunuch Li to make the trip."
"This is what this old servant should do."
After Li Gonggong finished speaking, he clapped his hands three times towards the outside. Soon, a group of eunuchs and palace maids carrying trays entered and lined up in three rows in the main hall, with six people in each row, for a total of 18 people carrying 18 trays.
Tang Baozhu stepped forward to take a look. There were exquisite jewelry pieces, as well as gold and silver ingots, gold and jade pendants, and other ornaments. It was dazzling to look at them.
It seems the emperor was quite comfortable last night, otherwise he wouldn't have been so generous.
After reading it, she said to Eunuch Li beside her, "Please tell His Majesty that I like it very much and thank His Majesty for the gift."
Then he said to Yumei beside him, "Yumei, go to my place and get ten taels of silver for your father-in-law to drink tea."
Yu Mei was quite clever; she went straight to the Empress's storeroom. After all, she had cleaned up the storeroom before and knew that her mistress was quite wealthy. "Yes."
Upon hearing that there were ten taels of silver, Eunuch Li's face lit up with a smile. "This old servant thanks Your Highness."
Eunuch Li accepted the ten taels of silver handed over by Yu Mei, then took his leave with the people around him.
For eunuchs, there were no other desires besides money; giving them money was the most practical thing to do.
Once everyone had gone far away, Yu Mei said, "You and Yu Lian tidy up these things and put them wherever they need to be. Xiao Douzi, you guys be quick-witted and see if there's any useful information outside. If you do, tell me quickly. We can't be completely clueless in the palace."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Xiaodouzi will definitely do a good job for you."
They were all busy with their own things, sitting on the stools continuing to eat. She had exercised for several hours last night and was starving. She didn't need anyone to serve her; she didn't even enjoy her food as much when someone was around.
As for inspecting the food, there's no need to worry at all. Nowadays, everyone knows which emperor has children, and no one has the energy to poison the concubines. So the food in the palace is quite safe.
However, once her pregnancy is revealed, all sorts of strange and treacherous people will likely appear, so she will have to be extra careful. It is likely that the emperor will send more experienced nannies to keep an eye on her.
After eating and drinking her fill, she continued to lie in the bedroom. It was so carefree and comfortable to live without having to do any work and being taken care of. She loved this lazy life.
As Tang Baozhu had predicted, the emperor treated everyone equally, giving each person a day to sleep and two days to rest. At first, Tang Baozhu felt a little uncomfortable and nauseous, but she eventually came to terms with it and decided to treat him as just a tool.
After a round of treatments, more than two months had passed. Tang Baozhu already knew from Zhang Taiyi's monthly pulse check that she was more than two months pregnant, so she didn't care whether the emperor came or not.
The only thing she admired was that, given her looks, he had managed to refrain from having sex for over two months. His willpower was truly impressive. He had slept with every girl, no matter how ugly she was, which suggested that he was extremely determined to have children.
After all, the 20-plus people selected this time are all in good health, and he doesn't want to let any of them have a child, so he doesn't let any of them go.
