Ye Shu moved to Yongshou Palace the next day.
No longer being watched by Jin Wang's subordinates all the time, and no longer having to be cautious, worrying about offending the tyrant every day, Ye Shu's life was finally peaceful and comfortable for a few days.
... It's strange.
Ye Shu looked at the gauze above his head, his eyes were amazingly energetic in the darkness.
He couldn't sleep.
During these days in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Jin Wang slept with him on the same bed, hugging him every night to sleep. Ye Shu had never been so close to others, so he was not used to it at first, but in order to survive, he could only endure it reluctantly.
Unexpectedly, after a few months, he was not used to having no one by his side.
He is not used to no one taking off his hair accessories, not used to no one reading a storybook to him before going to bed, not used to no one holding him in his arms and stroking his hair when he is not sleeping well.
Blame the dog emperor.
Ye Shu turned over irritably, thinking angrily.
Perhaps it was determined to leave room for Ye Shu, Jin Wang seldom came to Yongshou Palace these days, and occasionally he would just leave after eating, and had no intention of staying overnight.
Accustomed to seeing His Majesty and the imperial concubine's inseparable appearance, the palace people even discussed in private for a while, whether the imperial concubine has fallen out of favor.
In fact, looking at the previous dynasties, even if they were as obsessed with beauty as the first emperor, there were very few concubines who could spend the night in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, let alone a few months.
Living in Yongshou Palace is what a favored concubine should look like.
Of course, no one thinks about it now.
The rumor of the imperial concubine falling out of favor even reached Ye Shu's ears, and he laughed it off. If the person involved doesn't stop it, it's acquiescing in the eyes of others. For a while, rumors of falling out of favor emerge endlessly, and they seem to intensify.
On the third day after the rumor spread, Jin Wang finally couldn't sit still.
Ye Shu was still awake when His Majesty arrived at Yongshou Palace.
He didn't take anyone with him, and didn't let the palace people pass it on. He quietly entered the house by himself.
The earth dragon in the hall was heated to a suitable temperature, Ye Shu was only covered with a thin silk quilt, and her white and slender ankles protruded dishonestly from the silk quilt, Jin Wang covered her hands, feeling a bit cold.
Ye Shu just moved unsteadily, but didn't wake up.
Jin Wang's palm covered the opponent's ankle, and he slowly moved up until he warmed the small piece of cold skin.
Ye Shu faced the inner side of the bed, leaving only his thin back.
Jin Wang leaned over and hugged him into his arms.
"Well… "
Ye Shu muttered something dreamily, as if sensing a familiar embrace in his sleep, he instinctively rubbed against Jin Wang's embrace.
Instead of waking up, he fell into a deeper sleep.
Jin Wang looked down at the person in his arms, stroking his hair with his fingers one by one, his eyes soft.
"Ah!" After a long time, a woman's exclamation broke the tranquility of the hall.
The current time is much later than the time when the concubine usually wakes up. The maids of Yongshou Palace brought in hot water as usual, but when they saw His Majesty appearing beside the bed, they exclaimed in shock.
"Your Majesty—" the court lady hurriedly knelt down to salute, Jin Wang raised his eyes and looked at her in warning.
The maid's voice stopped abruptly.
But the commotion just now was enough to wake Ye Shu up.
He frowned, hummed impatiently, and buried his face in Jin Wang's arms: "Jin Wang, don't make noise..."
Jin Wang patted him on the back reassuringly, and said softly, "Well, I won't disturb you."
The court lady bent over and knelt down, not daring to raise her head, but she did not ignore His Majesty's gentle voice.
... It turns out that His Majesty can speak to people so gently.
Ye Shu was in a trance for a moment, and finally opened his eyes slowly.
He looked up and met those beautiful eyes.
Ye Shu's eyes gradually became clear.
"...Why are you here?" Ye Shu sat up and rubbed his eyes.
Jin Wang said: "It's fine today, let's come and see you."
In fact, His Majesty the Monarch heard the rumors from the palace people when he got up this morning, worried that his little concubine was thinking too much, so he hurried over after the court was over, and he didn't even have time to take off the court clothes. The wide sleeves were directly pressed under Ye Shu's body just now, and now they have become wrinkled.
Ye Shu looked at the creases on his clothes, and was inexplicably embarrassed: "Then why didn't you wake me up?"
"Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I can't bear it." Jin Wang brushed his loose hair behind his ears, and said in a warm voice, "When I wake up, I get up and freshen up, and let someone pass the meal."
The door of the hall was wide open, exquisite meals were put on the table, Ye Shu walked out of the inner room slowly, Jin Wang had already seated at the table.
"Come here." Jin Wang waved to him.
Ye Shu looked suspiciously at the maid serving behind her.
Jin Wang prefers to be alone with him, and has rarely had anyone serve him for meals.
Ye Shu didn't say anything, and sat down beside Jin Wang.
Jin Wang took a piece of pastry for him: "This is your favorite, eat more."
"Not interested." Ye Shu said disgustedly, "I want His Majesty to do it."
Jin Wang was not annoyed, and coaxed him patiently: "Okay, just go back and learn."
In fact, the two of them got along like this in the past, but they didn't let the servants serve them before, so naturally no one knew about it.
After eating this meal, all the servants in Yongshou Palace were astonished. It's not that the imperial concubine is not favored, it's obvious that she has been spoiled a bit.
After lunch, Ye Shu pillowed on Jin Wang's lap, too lazy to move.
Jin Wang pinched his face: "I'm getting lazy, you can't go on like this."
Ye Shu calmly said: "I am like this, if Your Majesty dislikes me, don't come to see me."
"How dare you." Jin Wang shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Gu just didn't stay in Yongshou Palace for the past few days, and rumors began to spread outside that Gu started to abandon him. If he really didn't come to see you, it might happen. "
Ye Shu narrowed his eyes: "So you came to show me your affection today?"
"It's not Xiu." Jin Wang rubbed Ye Shu's hair, and said in a warm voice, "Gu doesn't care what rumors are spread outside, talk about the royal family, and kill him. Gu is just worried that you will hear it."
"You and I both know that the rumors are false, but Gu is still afraid that you will be angry." Jin Wang lowered his head and looked into Ye Shu's eyes intently, "I don't want you to be unhappy."
Ye Shu didn't answer, and looked away: "Your Majesty, you think too much, why am I unhappy about something that is nothing?"
"No?" Jin Wang rubbed Ye Shu's side face with his fingertips, paused for a moment, and then smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't, I just want to coax you."
Ye Shu pursed his lips lightly.
In fact, he was indeed slightly unhappy, that's why he didn't stop the spread of rumors, and deliberately let Jin Wang listen to his words.
Ye Shu himself didn't know what he was angry with, nor did he want to understand why he did this. However, when he saw that Jin Wang hurried over to coax him because he was worried about his misunderstanding, the subtle displeasure in his heart disappeared.
The dog emperor is still so easy to get caught.
Ye Shu leaned against Jin Wang's arms and was drowsy. Not long after, a servant came into the palace to report, "Your Majesty, Duke Protector has been waiting in the imperial study for a long time."
"knew."
Jin Wang sent his servants away, picked Ye Shu up, and put him back on the bed: "Be good and sleep for a while. Today, Duke Hu returned to Beijing, so I have to go to see him first. I heard that he brought a theater troupe, and I will show you later." play."
Ye Shu yawned sleepily, and replied, "Got it."
Jin Wang bowed his head and kissed the corner of his lips, helped him tuck in the quilt, turned and left.
The hall was silent for a while, and Ye Shu suddenly opened his eyes.
Wait, who did Jin Wang say was coming? ?
Ye Shu's sleepiness disappeared suddenly, and he quickly called a servant to inquire.
The young eunuch of Yongshou Palace is well-informed and will answer any questions he has: "It's the Lord Protector. I heard that I just arrived in the capital yesterday, and today I will enter the palace to meet His Majesty."
Ye Shu asked: "The Lord Protector you are talking about is Xiao Yuanfei, Old General Xiao?"
"Of course it's him. How can there be a second protector in Changlu?"
This Lord Protector was not conferred by Jin Wang, but the late Emperor.
Decades ago, Xiao Yuanfei was the general of Changlu, and he made great achievements in many years of battle. He couldn't understand the tyranny of the late emperor, and was deprived of his military power by the late emperor. He was granted a title at will, sent to the fief, and rarely returned to Beijing.
When Jin Wang seized power back then, Xiao Yuanfei had sent his old troops to help secretly, so Jin Wang always had respect for this Duke Protector.
These are not important, what is important is that Xiao Yuanfei has a daughter in the book, who is two years younger than Jin Wang.
In the original book, Jin Wang did not marry a wife and have children, and his emotional line remained blank until the end. Even so, as the male protagonist of Su Shuang's promotional power-seeking novel, there will definitely be many people who admire him.
That woman was one of them.
If Ye Shu remembered correctly, Duke Hu Guo returned to Beijing this time to introduce his daughter to Jin Wang.
Isn't that today
Ye Shu couldn't sit still.
"Prepare the sedan chair and go to the imperial study."
The imperial chariot given to the imperial concubine stopped outside the imperial study, but no one came down. The guard couldn't help looking this way a few more times, and the servant carrying the imperial chariot also asked outside the curtain, "My lord, the imperial study is here, won't you come down?"
Ye Shu didn't answer.
It was only when he got outside the door of the imperial study that he felt a little stupid.
Not to mention that Jin Wang in the book is not interested in that woman, what's more, now Jin Wang obviously doesn't like women, even if there is such a princess, that person will not take it seriously.
And... why is he so nervous
As an emperor, marrying wives and taking concubines, and three thousand in the harem, isn't it normal? What does it have to do with him
Ye Shu pressed the center of his eyebrows, thinking that he had been playing Gong Dou for a long time, but instead got too deep into the drama.
He was about to order his servants to carry him back when the door of the imperial study room suddenly opened.
Jin Wang walked out side by side with the gray-haired but still energetic old man, and behind them was a handsome young man.
young man.
Still named Kunjun.
Ye Shu narrowed his eyes displeased.
The author has something to say: Ye Shu: You are limited to three seconds to come and coax me, or your life will be lost.
Cub: ... And what did I do wrong
