"Ouch!" Zhong Mingwei immediately grimaced.
"What happened? Where did you get kicked?" Ah Chou was so frightened that he hurried over to touch Zhong Mingwei's calf, asking with a worried and self-blaming look on his face. "Where does it hurt? Where exactly? Does it hurt a lot?"
"I kicked my sore muscles. Ouch! Girl, don't touch it! It will get more sore if you touch it." Zhong Mingwei screamed, his eyes and eyebrows wrinkled. It was obvious that he was in great pain. "Girl, how could you bear to use such great strength on me?"
"Why can't I bear to do that?" Ah Chou muttered, and at the same time he said with bravado, "If you do something stupid again, I will kick your leg!"
"You cruel girl," Zhong Mingwei muttered in a low voice, aggrieved. He then secretly pulled Ah Chou's little hand and placed it on his calf. He said shamelessly, "Touch it, and it won't be sore if you touch it."
"Didn't you tell me not to touch you just now?" Ah Chou glared at him, but his hand began to rub it gently.

Zhongcui Palace.
Concubine Shu sat in the warm room with a sullen look on her face. The cup of Queshe on the small table was no longer steaming. It was obvious that she had been sitting there stiffly for quite some time.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince has arrived." Concubine Shu was sulking in the warm room, and had already driven all the maids out. It was not until Zhong Ming'e entered the palace that the maid dared to come in and report. At this time, she saw that Concubine Shu was still silent. After a pause, the maid asked in a low voice with a look of trepidation, "Your Highness, do you want to invite the Second Prince in?"
"Let him kneel in the Buddhist temple for half an hour before coming in again." Concubine Shu said coldly, unable to hide her anger.
"This..." The maid looked embarrassed and stood at the door, unable to go in or out, "Madam..."
"Why don't you go quickly?!" Concubine Shu suddenly shouted coldly.
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Concubine Shu was calm and gentle, and rarely got angry. The maid was obviously frightened and hurriedly bowed and retreated.
Concubine Shu took a few deep breaths, but still felt she had no place to vent her anger, so she took the already cold Queshe on the small table and drank it all in one gulp.
"Bang!"
The exquisite blue and white porcelain teacup was smashed to pieces.
Concubine Shu was shaking all over as she looked at the tiny pieces of porcelain scattered all over the floor.
Concubine Zhao had caused such a big mess a while ago, not only did she displease the Queen Mother, but also the Emperor severely reprimanded the Right Prime Minister Zhao Changrong, didn't he? This caused the Zhao family to lose face both inside and outside the palace. The Third Prince Zhong Mingzheng, who had originally left the palace to pray for blessings on behalf of the Emperor, was arrogant when he left the palace, but he was humiliated when he returned to the palace. Needless to say, the Third Prince must have blamed Concubine Zhao in his heart.
No matter how angry Concubine Zhao was, she didn't dare to go against the Emperor. She went to the Imperial Study that day, took off her hairpin and apologized, but the Emperor sent her back to the palace without even seeing her. Concubine Zhao didn't dare to go to the Imperial Study easily again. But Concubine Zhao didn't go there anymore, but the Fourth Prince Zhong Mingrong ran to the Imperial Study from time to time. The Emperor loved this youngest son the most, so there was no reason for him not to see him. The more he saw his son, the more tolerant he would be towards his mother. Besides, Concubine Zhao was just jealous, so Zhong Zhiheng didn't take it to heart. He just wanted to teach her a lesson. For a woman as proud as Concubine Zhao, such a lesson was actually very severe.
But on this day, before dawn, the good news came from the Third Prince's Mansion that the Third Prince's wife, Da'an, who was nearly thirty years old, was suddenly pregnant. His Majesty was so happy that he rewarded the Third Prince and his wife with many treasures on the spot. He also went to the Yanxi Palace for breakfast. After the morning court, His Majesty went to the Yanxi Palace again. It was already dark today, but His Majesty had not come out of the Yanxi Palace yet.
What could Zhong Zhiheng do in the Yanxi Palace for such a long time?
…
What else can I do?!
"Bitch!" Concubine Shu gnashed her teeth and said, "You only know how to act like a foxy woman to seduce the emperor!"
