Cheng'en Hall.
Huan Yue finished eating and saw that the scoundrel was still there, looking very idle.
Xie Zhou looked at his wife's face and found her more and more beautiful.
Huan Yue blushed; what a scoundrel!
Xie Zhou carried her inside and lay her down on the couch.
The tatami mat was quite warm, and I could hear the snow falling and the wind blowing outside, with a faint fragrance in the air.
The scoundrel wanted a hug, so Huan Yue lay down in his arms. Even so, he was still quite handsome.
The male lead has a lot of character, but there's no obsession, sadomasochism, or other things that would make you want to punch him.
As the male lead in a sweet romance novel, he seems to have been pampered by a different person.
Huan Yue didn't steal anything from the female lead or anything; she was the original wife, and the fake heiress had worked hard for several years.
Xie Zhou's daughter-in-law.
Staying home with your wife on a snowy day is much better than being outside. Soldiers, of course, have it much harder.
After kissing her, Xie Zhou looked at his wife's wet and glistening eyes and wanted to devour her.
Huan Yue exuded a lazy air; she was his legitimate first wife, or perhaps he was living for the moment.
Xie Zhou got her drunk and crawled into bed with her.
The little darling was quite unaccustomed to working the night shift outside.
However, His Highness and His Majesty sleep together, and no one else is allowed inside. Even the hot water is prepared in advance.
The eunuchs tested it, and the water was still warm in the morning, not too cold.
It's not too late yet, and since a few of us are free, we can get together for a game of cards.
Although there is a small bed behind the study on the west side, Xiao Jiaonu cannot sleep there at night.
So, several palace maids slept on small beds on the floor in the front, while several eunuchs slept on beds on the floor in the back hall.
It was quite warm up ahead, and Xiaojiaonu slept until morning, when the snow outside was about to stop.
The cat tiptoed open the door to the sleeping quarters and saw that the lights inside were still on, emitting a faint warm glow.
She let out a meow like a cat: "Your Majesty?"
There was no sound from inside, but His Highness's voice came through: "I'll come and serve you later, and then let you take a nap."
Hearing His Highness's cheerful voice, the cat was so excited it almost jumped up.
Little Darling heard it outside too, that's wonderful.
His Highness and His Majesty have been together for almost a year. Although the rumors outside are nonsense, they are still not good.
Now that His Highness is happy, His Highness should be happy too, otherwise His Highness would be doomed.
The little slave believed that no one could take advantage of the Empress.
The snow is about to stop, and the sun will come out soon.
The eunuchs went in to attend to His Highness. They were positioned in front of the east wing, so as not to disturb the Empress's sleep.
After a while, His Highness left.
Chaoyun, Huiqing, and the others went in together to serve the Empress.
There's still a faint smell in the room, probably enough to make you sleep. I'll ventilate it again later.
Huan Yue felt unwell all over when he got up. He couldn't understand why some women would like him.
It's like how some people love garlic, while others don't like cilantro? And then there are those special quirks and preferences?
Xiuyun looked at the Empress and asked with a smile, "Are you feeling unwell? Should we call the imperial physician?"
Huan Yue said, "No need."
Xiuyun nodded: "Let's rest for a while. If you feel unwell, let Xiangnu take a look first."
Huan Yue nodded.
Chaoyun quickly tidied the bed. The charcoal was also lit.
Huiqing didn't dress up the Empress much; she wanted to go back to sleep.
Xiuyun brought over a bowl of soup. This wasn't anything special; it was just something the Empress always ate to nourish herself.
Huan Yue drank the soup; the cook's skills were good, but she was so hungry she hadn't eaten enough.
Xiuyun smiled and quickly served a plate of braised beef.
It wasn't much; Huan Yue wasn't satisfied even after finishing it.
Xiuyun smiled and said, "It's still early, Your Highness, please eat after you wake up."
"Alright then." Huan Yue finished tidying up and sat on the bed. He couldn't fall asleep for a moment.
Chaoyun came over to keep her company.
Huan Yue said, "Sleep with me for a while."
Chaoyun dared not get on that bed. She had a palace maid help bring in a small bed and a warm quilt.
If the bed is too small, and the blanket is too big, it will take up too much space and make it impossible to sleep. The blanket also needs to be small and warm, so that people don't get cold.
Huan Yue's bed was huge; she had requested a 6.6-foot bed, enough for one person to sleep on each side. But once they were in bed, nothing else mattered.
Chao Yun thought to herself, "His Highness has been eyeing the Empress; he can only have her once he gets her."
A palace attendant came and whispered from the outer room: "Last night, Madam Qian was cold. It's probably because Chang Ziyu took her blanket or even soaked her in cold water."
Huan Yue said, "Aren't these two always fighting?"
Chao Yunle was both amused and speechless: "Chang Ziyu is ruthless enough."
The eunuch said, "Perhaps Qian is having nightmares after beating Pei Jinnu to death."
Huan Yue didn't send anyone to deal with it.
Chao Yun didn't try to dissuade her. Let Qian die, so be it. What difference does it make whether her affair is investigated or not?
Everything is decided by the royal family. Does the Qian family still take her seriously?
The little maid went out and saw that the snow had stopped, and everything was covered in white, which made the Qing'e Palace look extremely beautiful!
You can faintly hear Yan Boxuan calling from Chenghua Hall.
Kids are so energetic, but the Empress is sleeping, so she won't let him come over.
Inside Chenghua Palace, Yan Boxuan made trouble for his elder sister and his aunt.
Princess Yongmu pulled him to the doorway and asked, "With such heavy snow, people could freeze to death. Are you still going out to play?"
Yan Boxuan curled up into a ball and called to his aunt, "Go! Go see!"
It wasn't about looking at the dead, but about caring for the poor. He learned that.
Princess Yongmu felt sorry for him: "You're still young, wait until you're older before you go."
Yan Boxuan blinked. Auntie, you can't make personal attacks. The baby is not a little kid anymore.
Xie Fufu didn't mince words: "Your legs aren't even as thick as the snow, you need someone to hold you up to walk. Don't be fooled, I can't hold you up with this much snow."
Yan Boxuan laughed wildly, "Sister is so useless!"
Xie Fufu is going to slap him!
Yan Boxuan is a good younger brother. Come here, let him pull his older sister.
Yes, he tried to reach out, but his hand was hidden inside his clothes and couldn't come out.
I have the will but not the strength; being a baby is really too difficult.
Xie Fufu watched the show with interest, thinking about this ball a lot more than she expected.
A palace attendant came and reported to Princess Yongmu: "Cui Jin wishes to see the child."
Xie Fufu snorted: "I won't see you."
She had heard that her mother had gone to the imperial prison, and she didn't know what she was up to. She was really worried that her mother would get involved with her and her brother.
Princess Yongmu nodded. It's not that my eldest sister is necessarily incompetent; whether she's capable or not depends on how she performs.
Why is such a young child making such a fuss in this freezing weather? And Cui Jin is supposed to be showing affection for her son?
The eunuch went to Cheng'en Hall to report back to the Empress.
And there comes His Highness again.
The palace maids quickly dispersed upon seeing His Highness.
Xie Zhou marched straight in and entered the Yanxi Palace, where he saw Chao Yun sleeping.
Chao Yun was so frightened that she quickly got up.
Xie Zhou ignored her and stood in front of the bed looking at his wife. His wife was beautiful no matter how he looked at her, and he wanted to sleep with her again.
A palace maid came in to fold up the small bed, and then there was a sound as the Empress took out her phoenix mace.
Chao Yun suppressed a laugh, lowered her head, packed her things, and left.
Xie Zhou felt wronged and pulled his wife close, saying aggrievedly, "Isn't it because I like you?"
Huan Yue was quite ruthless: "Get out."
Xie Zhou kissed her cheek, kissing her so hard that his wife was about to explode. She quickly ran away, but then turned back at the door and said, "Don't rush, wait for you to get up and have breakfast."
A palace maid, carrying water, suspected that His Highness was using breakfast to seduce the Empress.
Xiuyun watched as the eunuchs set the table outside. His Highness's breakfast was brought over as usual, but today there was even more variety, including a special meal for the Empress.
