Jiang Jingyue wanted to refuse, but Qi Yehan wouldn't allow her to. Before she could even react, Qi Yehan had already started to bathe her.
Jiang Jingyue was washed until she looked like a boiled shrimp, all red and shiny.
"Your Majesty, that's enough. I don't need to wash so meticulously. I can take care of the rest myself."
Qi Yehan insisted on doing everything himself and had no intention of letting her do it herself.
"Yueyue, I'll take care of everything. Just relax and enjoy yourself. I'll carry you back to bed."
After Qi Yehan finished washing Jiang Jingyue, he picked her up from the bathtub. As soon as he picked her up, Jiang Jingyue instinctively hugged Qi Yehan's neck because she was afraid of falling.
Just then, the maids outside brought the child in, and the little princess cried her heart out.
Upon hearing the little princess's cries, Qi Yehan couldn't bear it any longer and immediately went to her, taking the sobbing princess into his arms.
Perhaps it was the familiar scent that stopped the little princess from crying instantly.
On the day of the baby's full moon celebration, Qi Yehan issued an edict to make Jiang Jingyue Empress. This time, the court officials had no objections to the Emperor's decree and all agreed.
Nonsense! Consort Mei gave birth to twins for the Emperor. If she isn't qualified to be Empress, then who is?
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects. Long live the Emperor!"
Greetings to Your Majesty the Empress! May Your Majesty live a thousand years!
Jiang Jingyue was extremely satisfied with everything that was happening, and she nodded with a smile.
Spring goes and autumn comes, the sun and moon shine together.
The palace was in a state of panic today, because the Empress Dowager's days were numbered and the Emperor was on her deathbed, so they had to make preparations in advance.
"Mother, please don't leave. I'm still waiting for you to help me take care of my little grandson."
The Empress Dowager lay on the bed, her face extremely pale. She smiled and shook her head at Jiang Jingyue.
"Xiaoyue, the Crown Prince and the Princess have grown up and no longer need me. I am tired and can no longer persevere."
Jiang Jingyue immediately shook her head at the Empress Dowager, reached out and took the Empress Dowager's hand, letting the Empress Dowager touch her belly.
"Your Majesty, I wasn't talking about the Crown Prince and the Princess, but the child in my womb. The imperial physician said it might be twins again."
Upon hearing such wonderful news, well, the Empress Dowager is well again. This time, she has been waiting for three years. During these three years, she has been having an exceptionally happy time playing with Jiang Jingyue's newborn child.
In the end, she couldn't hold on any longer and left. Before she left, she told Qi Yehan that she was very happy and that she was already satisfied to have the opportunity to spend a few more years with the children.
This time, her departure was a joyous occasion, and it was forbidden to play any mournful music or cry in the palace.
She wanted to leave happily, and Qi Yehan agreed.
In the third year of the Jingde reign, the Empress Dowager passed away quietly, and the grass outside the palace grew even taller that year.
"Yueyue, give me another child, okay?"
Jiang Jingyue looked at the person who kept rubbing against her and immediately shook her head.
"Your Majesty, if you're too bored, why don't you go and teach the Crown Prince a lesson? Stop clinging to me here. He's not a child anymore, and he's still acting like this."
Qi Yehan didn't like hearing Jiang Jingyue's words, so he immediately hugged her and gently bit her earlobe.
"Yueyue, from what you're saying, it sounds like I'm getting old."
Seeing that Qi Yehan's expression wasn't good, Jiang Jingyue immediately shook her head sensibly, but it was too late; Qi Yehan had already picked her up.
"Yueyue, then I'll let you see what it means to be vigorous even in old age."
Jiang Jingyue: There's no need for that.
Unfortunately, while Qi Yehan received other messages, he did not receive this one.
When Jiang Jingyue woke up again, her children were standing in front of her. Their eyes lit up the moment they saw her wake up.
"Mother, you're awake! Why did you sleep for so long? It's almost lunchtime and you've only just woken up."
The Crown Prince's words made Jiang Jingyue blush, and she immediately changed the subject.
"Isn't the Crown Prince supposed to help your father with the memorials? Why are you in your mother's palace at this hour?"
When Jiang Jingyue asked him this question, the Crown Prince immediately nodded.
"Mother, I have taken care of most of the matters that needed to be dealt with. I came here today to ask you something. Father said he wants to take you on a trip to the surrounding area. Are you aware of this?"
Jiang Jingyue didn't know, but at this moment, she had to know even if she didn't, so she immediately nodded.
She loves traveling the most.
"I know, your mother and father plan to travel more while they are still young. What do you think?"
The crown prince certainly had objections. If his father were to pass away, he would be left to manage the country alone, and he didn't seem to be up to the task.
"Mother, if you leave, I will be left to handle the affairs of state alone. Can you and Father rest assured?"
Before Jiang Jingyue could speak, Qi Yehan's voice came from outside.
"What are you worried about? I have already taught you everything I needed to, and you have already learned it all. If there is anything you really don't understand, isn't there Taibo to help you?"
Seeing that his father had spoken like this, the Crown Prince knew that no matter what he said, it would be of no use, so he could only nod and agree.
"Mother, Mother, when you go to play with Father, will you take us with you?"
Looking at the three little kids in front of her, Jiang Jingyue was about to speak when Qi Yehan immediately pulled her back.
"No, you're all grown up now and should be more sensible. Your father and mother have business to attend to, not to play. You should stay in the palace obediently and listen to your elder brother, the Crown Prince, and your elder sister, understand?"
The three young boys, being young and naive, were easily swayed by Qi Yehan and nodded without hesitation.
This left Jiang Jingyue, who was watching from the side, somewhat amused and exasperated.
However, she did indeed want to go and see the sights, so she didn't expose Qi Yehan's words.
"Your Majesty, when shall we depart? Why didn't you inform me in advance?"
Jiang Jingyue only asked these questions after Qi Yehan had driven the child away.
"Yueyue, I have been making arrangements during this period of time, and I even personally had the Crown Prince attend the morning court several times to make sure that he was alright before I decided to start implementing this plan."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue nodded in satisfaction.
"So Your Majesty has considered so much! I have misunderstood Your Majesty."
