"Your Highness, please return! His Majesty has other matters to attend to and cannot allow Your Highness to enter."
Although Consort De really wanted to go in, the Emperor had already said so, so there was nothing she could do no matter how much she wanted to.
She could only stomp her foot and leave.
On the way, we also met Wu Fei, who lived up to her name and was an exceptionally talented dancer.
She had also come to see the Emperor, and when she saw Consort De returning with gifts, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"Oh dear, Consort De, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried? Is the Emperor not letting you in?"
Consort De couldn't help but laugh when she saw her gloating expression.
"You don't need to gloat like that. Even if you go, it's not certain. The Emperor certainly won't let you in. If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?"
Consort De's words instantly aroused Consort Rou's competitive spirit, and she immediately retorted.
"Of course you can. What bet? How do you want to bet? Let me tell you, the Emperor usually dotes on me so much, there's no way he'll stop me from going in. Just wait and see."
Seeing Consort Wu's smug expression, Consort De didn't say anything more, but just smiled at her.
Consort Wu couldn't help but say coldly, "Consort De, if I am allowed to enter, then you should give me the jade hairpin that the Emperor bestowed upon you last time. What do you think?"
When Consort De heard this, she felt a pang of heartache, mainly because the hairpin was one of her favorites, and she was just afraid of the worst-case scenario.
But she started this whole thing, so she can't back down.
"Alright, fine. Since you've said so, then I'll take your dragon and phoenix ring. I hope you'll honor your bet when the time comes."
Consort Wu was very confident in herself; she believed that she was definitely the emperor's favorite person.
Now that the Emperor has finally returned, she definitely needs to have a good heart-to-heart talk with him.
Consort De was originally going to go back, but because of this bet, she followed Consort Wu back to the Emperor's palace.
Looking at Consort De who had returned, Su De couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness, why have you come again? His Majesty has already retired for the night. Please leave."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Su De saw Consort Wu again. He was somewhat helpless. Why were so many concubines looking for the Emperor today?
The Emperor knew this too, and yet he went out at this time, no one knew where he went, leaving him alone to face the predatory gazes of these concubines, he really couldn't bear it.
"Your Highness, please return as well! His Majesty has already retired for the night; he will not see anyone today."
Wu Fei disagreed at all. She wanted to barge in immediately, but with Su De there, it was impossible for her to get in.
She will only have a chance if Sude dies.
"Your Highness, I have already told you that His Majesty has retired for the night. If we disturb His Majesty and he becomes angry, can you bear the consequences?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Fei subconsciously stopped what she was doing and dared not do anything more.
"Then, Eunuch Su, if the Emperor wakes up, you must send someone to inform me immediately, understand?"
Su De nodded obediently and agreed, "Understood, Consort Wu and Consort De. Once the Emperor wakes up, this servant will inform the two consorts immediately."
Meanwhile, Jiugongting had arrived at the Jianghou residence and was looking at the courtyard not far away, somewhat lost in thought.
He knew the young woman was in the courtyard at that moment, and he hesitated, wondering if going there now would disturb her.
I wonder if the little woman has already fallen asleep by now.
Jiugongting hesitated for a long time, but in the end he slowly approached the courtyard, wanting only to take a look.
He just wanted to take a look; he wanted to see what the little woman was doing at this hour.
Jiang Jingyue also learned from the system what the Nine Palaces Court was doing outside.
She had already fallen asleep, but she forced herself to get up so she could wait for Jiugongting.
However, she waited for quite some time but still didn't see any sign of Jiugongting coming in.
"Tongzi, what's going on? It's been so long, you can't be mistaken, can you? He wasn't actually outside at all."
Otherwise, why hasn't he come in yet after all this time?
When the system heard Jiang Jingyue ask this question, it couldn't help but retort.
"Our system certainly won't malfunction. Your man is right outside by the window. What does it have to do with me if he doesn't want to come in?"
Upon hearing that Jiugongting was right outside the window, Jiang Jingyue immediately stood up, went to the window, and opened it as quickly as possible.
Jiang Jingyue was a little too fast, so the Nine Palaces outside hadn't reacted yet. When he saw the little woman smiling and leaning against the window looking at him, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here at this hour?"
When Jiang Jingyue asked Jiu Gongting this question, she didn't know how to answer her for a moment.
He couldn't very well tell the young woman in front of him that he missed her so much he couldn't sleep.
So Jiugongting stood there, stunned, without saying a word.
Perhaps it was because of the cold shower, but Jiugongting felt a bit cold at this moment.
Moreover, his nose was a little itchy, and he couldn't help but sneeze.
"Achoo!"
Seeing him like this, Jiang Jingyue immediately rushed into the house.
Jiugongting was puzzled by Jiang Jingyue's appearance and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
He originally thought that when Jiang Jingyue saw him coming, even if she wasn't very happy, she certainly wouldn't be repulsed.
But seeing the little woman like this now, Jiu Gongting was really disappointed. After brushing off the snowflakes that had just fallen on his body, he prepared to leave.
He thought that after he went back, he would have to think about it carefully: was it right or wrong for him to forcefully demand that the young woman be with him?
If the woman is unhappy, he feels he shouldn't force her; letting go sooner is better for both of them.
Just as Jiugongting turned to leave, he suddenly saw a small figure running towards him from not far away.
The little boy wasn't moving fast, and there was still some distance between them, but Jiu Gongting still managed to tell that the woman running towards him was Jiang Jingyue.
For some reason, at that moment, his heart seemed to flutter violently.
And it kept throbbing, so he couldn't help but clutch his chest and run forward.
