"Does anyone else remember what I said back then?"
"Hmm? Nobody knows?" He Zhuo snorted. "Su Mei, you and Su Lan are both second-class maids, you tell us."
Su Mei: "Yes, besides saying that rewards and punishments are clear and that we cannot tolerate sleeping with someone or betraying them, the Fujin also said that if we servants encounter difficulties or are forced to do things by someone, we can go to the Fujin. We servants in the main courtyard are the Fujin's people, and the Fujin will do her best to help us."
"Yes, but Su Lan didn't think of me when she encountered difficulties. When others asked her if she was having any troubles, she ignored them and insisted on going her own way, trying to climb into my husband's bed and fall into my husband's arms."
"So you didn't take my words to heart. And Su Lan's condition hasn't been a matter of just a day or two, it's been several days, yet you only came to inform me now. I suddenly feel that I've been too kind to you all. In addition to your own monthly allowance, I will give the people in the main courtyard an extra monthly allowance."
"Today, I, the Princess Consort, declare here. I can't control what others do, but within the main courtyard, you, Master, are my man alone." He Zhuo made a domineering declaration.
Upon hearing this sudden confession, the eldest prince, Yinzhi, blushed deeply and dared not look at his wife, yet he couldn't help but steal glances.
Hehe, I accidentally caught this young man sneaking glances at this fairy!
"Alright, for everyone in the main courtyard (except the two wet nurses), let's stop the monthly allowance I'm paying. We won't be paying it for three months."
Inside the main courtyard, the sounds of beatings began to rise and fall. Yinzhi had already calmed down and was playing with his daughter. When he saw his wife walk in, he felt as if she were walking towards him on auspicious clouds. His heart was pounding wildly.
He Zhuo stared at her husband, looking somewhat dazed, clearly captivated!
She chuckled and let the wet nurse take the little treasure away. She went up to Yinzhi and hugged his waist, leaning against him with a comfortable sigh. She squinted her eyes and said something completely unrelated: "Master, you've grown taller." She even gestured to show her height.
When she married him, he was 15 years old and about 1.72 meters tall; now he's 1.8 meters. He Zhuo was about 1.60 meters tall then; now he's probably 1.65 meters.
"Yes, my wife has grown taller. We're going to be father and mother now. You're carrying another one." Yinzhi touched Hezhuo's belly tenderly.
"Tomorrow, I'll have Liu Bajin bring you some more fabric so you can make some clothes. Your old clothes are too worn out."
He Zhuo: "Alright, sir, bring it here. I'll make some for myself, for my little treasure, for the baby in my belly, and for you too, sir."
Yinzhi felt a warmth in his heart as he watched Hezhuo count on his fingers how he would make clothes for himself and the children. This was a feeling different from that he had with his mother.
That night, Yinzhi and Zhuo talked for a long time.
"My mother also disliked maids who climbed into my bed. My maid was dismissed once when I was 12 years old. At the time, I didn't understand, but I felt that the maid was particularly enthusiastic during those days."
I never saw her again after that. My mother also told me about the dangers of maids climbing into my bed, saying that she never wanted the maids around me to teach me anything.
The maid who has served me since childhood knows me well, and there's always a sense of master-servant bond between us. This could be detrimental to my future marriage with my wife, and she might easily cause trouble. She might inadvertently see something important and leak it out, because she was my maid before, and I'm used to her being by my side.
"Actually, I didn't mean that at all. It's not like you can just climb into my bed so easily."
During the imperial concubine selection, the Fujin (Prince Consort) and several other young ladies came to pay their respects to Mother Empress. I was behind the screen. The Fujin had a gentle demeanor that made people feel very close to her. I never expected that Father Emperor would actually bestow you upon me in marriage. As he said this, Yinzhi gently kissed Hezhuo's forehead.
Yinzhi affectionately touched Hezhuo's nose: "Don't worry, you little jealous pot. This time when you go to the border with Father Emperor, I won't bring anyone from the backyard."
Yinzhi gazed at his wife's tender lips, his calloused fingers gently caressing her delicate skin, a glint of something in his eyes.
"An, ya," she said, lowering her head to kiss him.
