Ruan Yumu didn't want to say anything, but looking at the child's cute appearance made her feel a little better.
"Actually, I also discovered some things when I left the palace this time, and perhaps I was also at fault. I wonder if you, having been in the harem for so long now, understand my situation back then."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Yumu slowly raised his head to look at Qi Jingxuan. Unlike his high spirits when he first ascended the throne, now, just over a year later, his face looked as if he had experienced many vicissitudes, and he was full of worries.
"Mu'er," Ruan Yumu suddenly called out to Qi Jingxuan, as if he were still a general and Qi Jingxuan was still a little girl on the horse farm.
In a daze, everything seemed to have returned to normal. Qi Jingxuan held the weak Ruan Yumu and burst into tears.
"If you had called me sooner, if you had always loved me, perhaps none of this would have happened."
The two sat and talked for a while. Qi Jingxuan told her that her body could not be changed back and he did not know why. However, Ruan Yumu did not think so. She felt that Qi Jingxuan wanted to control her.
That "Mu'er" was just a way out, nothing more than a way to make her life better in the future.
The imperial edict bestowing the title of imperial concubine shocked both the imperial court and the inner palace. No one knew why the emperor would send a commander of the Imperial Guard to bring the daughter of a lowly ninth-rank official into the palace.
While everyone was discussing, Fu Lu received some inside information.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to congratulate the birth of the second young master, I quickly conveyed the news to Ruan Yumu.
Haha, that's just how men are.
I should understand him, after all, that's my true nature, it's just that someone else is now living in that body.
"Your Highness Consort Mu, I have come to present a gift." Geng Yulin is now in charge of the harem. Although she is a fourth-rank concubine, she no longer bows to Her Highness Consort Mu. She is very arrogant.
As luck would have it, the Empress also sent a gift—ambergris, apparently a tribute from her wedding. Ruan Yu Mu quickly put it away; she dared not use it.
Geng Yulin's expression changed slightly, but she still maintained her arrogant posture. Several concubines of the same rank as her had long been disgusted by her.
Xi Yun led the eldest princess over. This eldest princess rarely appeared in front of others. Even at such a young age, she was already showing great intelligence. She wasn't much older than the eldest son, but she could already feed herself. It seemed that Xi Yun had put in a lot of effort.
"Jinhua, I miss you so much!" Knowing that the palace was busy today, Xu Yuanzhang quickly took some time to disguise himself as a eunuch and come to see Jiang Jinhua.
"General, me too! How long can this drag on? General, please take me away! I miss you every single day in the palace!" Jiang Jinhua was fed up with this agonizing existence and didn't know what to do!
"Just bear with it a little longer, and say a few good words to the Emperor. The position of Grand General is highly competitive these days, so you have to help my father. That way, I'll have more confidence in marrying you."
Jiang Jinhua wouldn't listen to Xu Yuanzhang at all. He had been saying this for two years. Didn't he realize that she didn't want to serve the emperor?
Looking at the man she had longed for day and night, she couldn't help but swallow hard.
"General, I miss you, I miss you everything." Jiang Jinhua could no longer bear the loneliness in the deep palace. She hugged General Xu in front of her, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.
Perhaps because he had a beauty in his arms, General Xu inexplicably did not push her away.
The small eunuch's quarters were filled with a lewd and vulgar atmosphere.
