Hongli was known to be jealous, but Su Yushan knew that what Jiafeng said were things that the original owner had experienced in her youth, and she really didn't know them!
"Young Master Qiao? I don't remember him!"
Her eyes were blank, which didn't seem to be feigned. Hongli asked in surprise, "Jiafeng said that person blocked your way. You don't remember him at all?"
Su Yushan chuckled and reminded me, "I have amnesia! I have no memory of anything before I met you, so how could I possibly remember any Young Master Qiao?"
According to the doctor, most people with amnesia will gradually regain their memories, but Yu Shan's situation seems to be different from ordinary people. "So many years have passed, and you still haven't remembered your past?"
Su Yushan shook her head seriously, because she really didn't remember. "I have no recollection at all. Do you want me to remember?"
If she remembers the past, it means she will recall her past with Zheng Lin.
Even though Zheng Lin had married Yu Chan and even fallen in love with her, no longer as persistent as before, Hongli still didn't want Yu Shan to have those sweet memories with Zheng Lin.
In the end, he shook his head. "Without my memories, it's better to have none at all."
Su Yushan chuckled helplessly, "Your possessiveness is really strong!"
"My strength isn't just about possessiveness..." Hongli's voice was hoarse, and his gaze fixed on her was like a burning fire, scorching her cheeks.
With a slight shift in her gaze, Su Yushan feigned ignorance, "What else is even stronger?"
"What do you think?" As he spoke, Hongli leaned closer to her, his implication quite clear. She wanted to back away, but there was a wall behind her; she had nowhere to retreat. She pushed against his shoulder with her small hands, racking her brains for an excuse.
"I spent today with my sister-in-law and younger sister, and didn't rest at noon, so I'm a little tired now!"
"That's perfect, let me loosen your muscles." He started to massage her, claiming it was to help her, but in reality, he was just taking advantage of her.
Su Yushan tried to dodge and weave, but she couldn't escape his large hand no matter what she did.
Knowing there was no way to avoid it, she simply gave up and went along with it, figuring he would restrain himself after he had eaten his fill.
As it turned out, she was too naive. Hongli's energy far exceeded her imagination. Even though he was over thirty, he was still as dashing as ever, and every time he made her feel like she was on cloud nine, forgetting herself. Her beautiful, dreamy eyes were half-closed, and her round, pink and white nails unconsciously dug into the muscles of his back.
Outside the window, in the flowerbed, the buds of spring flowers quietly unfurled in the cool night breeze, their beauty only visible to the bright moon, just like Yu Shan at this moment, whose delicate beauty could only be appreciated by Hongli…
The children were the happiest of all at this family reunion.
Since spending time with Zheng Yanzhi, Rong Yu has grown particularly fond of this younger cousin. She is a quiet, cute, and gentle girl, and Rong Yu finds it very comfortable to be around her. It's just a pity that Zheng Yanzhi can only stay for one night and will be leaving the palace this afternoon.
Rong Yu was reluctant to part with her, so she begged her mother to let Yan Zhi live in the palace and study with her.
She originally had a study companion, but the girl was in poor health and often fell ill. Hongli thought it was not good to place a sickly girl next to his daughter, so he sent her out of the palace.
Recently, they were selecting a new study companion, so Yu Shan discussed with Hongli the possibility of bringing Yan Zhi into the palace.
“Rong Yu has no other sisters and is quite lonely. It’s rare that she gets along well with Yan Zhi. They are about the same age and can keep each other company, which is good.”
Historically, only women from the imperial clan could serve as a princess's study companion. Although Zheng Yanzhi was the niece of the Imperial Noble Consort, she was a Han Chinese, and in principle, she could not serve as a princess's study companion.
With many princes, the selection criteria for their study companions were quite strict. There was only one princess, and Yu Shan strongly recommended Yan Zhi. Hongli thought that since she was a member of the imperial family, it wouldn't hurt to make an exception. So he agreed to Yu Shan's request. However, to appease public opinion, he still had to select another member of the imperial family to be Rong Yu's study companion in the future.
Hongli agreed, but Yushan still needed to ask Yuchan and her daughter for their opinions. Although Rongyu had this idea, she didn't know if Yuchan was willing to let her daughter enter the palace, or if Yanzhi was willing to enter the palace to study.
After all, they were her family, and she should respect their wishes. If they were unwilling, Yu Shan would not force them.
Yu Chan was naturally reluctant to part with her daughter, but studying in the palace was not the same as studying at home. The teachers who taught the princess were all top scholars, people of both virtue and talent. If her daughter could study in the palace, it would be more beneficial for her to improve her quality and knowledge, and it would also help to cultivate the relationship between her and her cousins.
Yan Zhi was reluctant to leave her family, but the palace also had its attractions, such as the huge training ground and the various riding and archery skills, which broadened her horizons. After that day, she realized that girls could also learn many things, in addition to needlework and reading, they could also ride horses and shoot arrows, which was very interesting.
She also wanted to try to change things, and with her mother's persuasion, Yanzhi finally nodded and agreed to enter the palace as a companion to her studies.
With Yan Zhi by her side, Rong Yu temporarily forgot the trauma that Ming Yi had caused her.
Rong Yu is quite independent and not a sentimental person. Mingyi ignoring her did make her sad for two days, but she quickly recovered.
In her mind, she was a noble princess! Why should she be heartbroken over a boy? Since he didn't care about her, she wouldn't care about him anymore either. She would never do something so one-sided.
After spending some time with the princess, Zheng Yanzhi roughly understood her thoughts. She admired the princess's decisive and prudent approach and hoped that she could truly understand and stop being troubled.
In early April, Hongli brought up the matter of conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Yushan again. The Empress Dowager did not refuse, but she had one condition: Gao Xiuwen should also be promoted to Imperial Noble Consort at the same time.
Hongli immediately refused, "There can only be one Imperial Noble Consort in the harem; two cannot be promoted at the same time!"
These words were truly laughable coming from his mouth. The Empress Dowager glanced at him and sneered, "Emperor, do you still remember the palace rules? If you truly cared about the palace rules, you shouldn't have promoted a Han woman to Imperial Noble Consort while the Empress was still alive!"
Knowing she couldn't change her son's mind, the Empress Dowager decided to completely change the palace rules and increase the number of Imperial Noble Consorts, so that Su Yushan would no longer be able to dominate.
However, Hongli only wanted to give the title of Imperial Noble Consort to Yu Shan. If Gao Xiuwen were also promoted, what difference would there be between this position and that of a Noble Consort?
"I disagree! I will only promote Yu Shan to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort; no other woman should even dream of it!"
