The emperor looked at the empress who looked so aggrieved and sighed, "Forget it, I'll have to take it off later anyway, so there's no need to go through so much trouble. Come and sit down."
As he was speaking, the Emperor had already sat on the chair. The Empress, with tears in her eyes, also walked to his side and sat there weakly, afraid to make any sound.
The emperor took a drink from the wine glass, and the queen poured another glass for him. The emperor turned his head to look at the queen, and raised her chin with his hand: "Queen, do you really want to give birth to a child for me? Or is it because I am the emperor?"
The queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "What's the difference? You are the emperor, and the emperor is you. I want to give it to the prince, isn't that right?"
"In other words, let me be honest. You are my man. If one day you lose everything, you still have me."
The emperor was stunned for a moment. He did not feel that this sentence was treasonous at all. Instead, he thought it sounded quite nice. He laughed and said, "Yes."
"I used to be a fool. It seems that no one else can adapt to the change of my identity, but you can adapt successfully! You respect me so much."
"That's right, you didn't see me being a fool..."
The emperor drank several glasses of wine in a row, and his eyes were a little blurry. He seemed drunk, but also seemed sober. Lin Chuwu looked at the emperor like this.
The corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Your Majesty, I have never felt that I am a fool. Even if people have said that you are a fool before, I just think that you are just a child with a pure heart."
"Only those who have endured the most hardships can become the best, right?"
The emperor frowned and looked at the emperor: "Clean heart? Why do I feel that this word is a little familiar? Forget it, I know, I shouldn't have said that about you just now."
"After all, you are innocent. This is my problem. You want a child, and the Queen Mother thinks I should give you a child, so I will give it to you."
After saying this, the emperor stood up shakily, put his arms around the queen's waist, then picked her up and walked towards the bed.
The queen felt her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out. Looking at the emperor's face so close to her, the corners of her mouth curled up.
The cloud curtain was gradually lowered, and blushing and heart-pounding sounds gradually came from inside the curtain, making the moon in the sky outside too embarrassed to show up.
When it was almost dawn, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. His movements were a bit large, which startled the queen beside him. The queen also opened her eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The emperor's memory slowly returned, and he didn't want to spend the wedding night with the queen, so he got drunk. Who would have thought that they did it anyway, but it was not as painful as he had imagined.
On the contrary, he felt somewhat enjoyable. The emperor frowned and looked at the queen: "It's okay, I should go to the morning court."
After saying this, the emperor stood up, and the queen also struggled to get up, but she felt a pain in her body and did not get up.
Just as they were feeling awkward, they heard the emperor suddenly laugh: "Queen, there is no need to get up. You take a rest for a while. I will leave by myself."
The queen blushed as she looked at the emperor, and then she heard the emperor shout to the outside: "Someone, change my clothes for me."
Soon, a eunuch and two palace maids came in and dressed the emperor. Then the emperor left for the morning court session. He frowned all the way.
When he encountered such a thing yesterday, he forgot to think, and then he thought of what the Queen Mother said yesterday. It doesn’t matter, he is destined to stay in the palace all his life anyway.
In this case, let's help Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao. After the morning court session, Liu Yichen came to the palace at the same time yesterday to ask for an audience with the emperor.
The emperor had someone bring out a box, and then looked at Liu Yichen: "Lord Liu, send this box to Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao, and tell them that I agree."
"Also, this thing must be handled with care, but it must also be delivered to Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao as quickly as possible. Do you understand?"
Liu Yichen knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely do it."
So our poor Lord Liu Yichen packed his things and set off again. At this time, the emperor's harem was in an uproar, especially in the confined residence of Lady Liu.
Lady Liu pushed everything on the table to the ground and said, "What did you say? You said the Emperor had sex with the Queen last night?"
The palace maid who came to report the news was trembling with fear when she saw Concubine Liu was so angry. However, this matter could not be concealed at all, so she looked at Concubine Liu.
"To answer the beauty, yes. The news is absolutely true."
Lady Liu glanced at the palace maid, but in the end she didn't do anything to her. Instead, she stomped her feet hard and said, "Go, tell my father the news."
"Why should I be confined when I go to see the Emperor? I am actually allowed to visit the Empress."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard another woman's voice. It was Han Meiren who walked in with her people. Because both of them were beauties, they lived together.
She was not assigned a separate palace: "Oh, why? Of course it's because she is the queen. Don't think that the queen's status in her family is not as high as ours."
"But now he is much higher than us! You have to accept this even if you don't agree."
When Lady Liu heard Lady Han mocking her like this, she was also angry: "Why, you are lecturing me here, and you are saying it so nicely, aren't you irritated in your heart?"
"Who dressed so coquettishly in the middle of winter to visit the emperor in the Imperial Garden? What was the result? The emperor didn't even look at you, and you were sick for half a month, and evil wind entered your body."
"You and I are the same. Why are you showing off in front of me? If you have the guts, why don't you show off in front of the Queen?"
Han Meiren curled her lips and said, "That's not what I meant. The Queen is much more beautiful than us. Besides, don't you think it's better for the Queen to be favored by the Emperor?"
"I am going to congratulate the Queen right now. Since the Queen herself has not been favored before, it is naturally difficult for her to arrange for the two of us to be favored by the Emperor."
"Now that the emperor has begun to favor the harem, it's time to turn over the cards. Doesn't this mean we all have a chance? You're the only one who's stupid enough to offend the emperor."
"You are still angry with the Queen. Can't you see that the Queen showed mercy to you for trespassing into the Imperial Study this time? And you are still being so ungrateful."
After saying this, Concubine Han turned around and left without caring about the distorted expression on Concubine Liu's face. Concubine Liu looked at Concubine Han's back and was furious.
"What do you think this lady Han means? Are you here to laugh at me? The queen has punished me, so do I have to thank her?"
The palace maid didn't know what to say after listening to Concubine Liu's words. However, she also knew that Concubine Liu didn't want her to say anything, she just wanted to scold her.
Finally, Lady Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "Forget it, get up, and pass the news from the palace back to my father and see what my father tells me to do next."
The palace maid answered yes. She was the maid that Concubine Liu brought with her as a dowry when she entered the palace. Now she has become Concubine Liu's trusted maid, and she is also responsible for daily contact with the family.
And these actions could not be hidden from the emperor. After the emperor knew about the connection between Concubine Liu and the Liu family, he frowned and thought of the former Concubine Xiang.
It seems that some people just can't remember the lesson. They looked at the eunuchs around them and said, "Keep a close eye on the Liu family and see what they want to do."
"If you are reluctant to marry your daughter into the palace and have to keep her under constant control, I don't mind sending Concubine Liu back to them."
Eunuch Xiang immediately understood what the emperor meant. The country is still in a turbulent time and the foreign relatives are in power. The emperor would never let such a thing happen.
As long as there is any sign of this, it must be stopped, so he nodded: "I will arrange this matter right away. In addition, Your Majesty, do you want any reward from the Queen?"
After being reminded by Eunuch Xiang, the Emperor frowned and said, "Okay, go and arrange it. I will reward you with a pair of jade ruyi, a pair of jadeite bracelets, and a few pieces of Su brocade..."
After talking about a lot of things, they felt that it was almost done, so Eunuch Xiang went out to make the arrangements. In his heart, he felt very good about it. It seemed that the Emperor was not completely forgetting the Queen.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked for so many good things. For a while, the news that the queen was favored spread everywhere. And when the queen was favored, she didn't have to worry about the outside relatives at all.
Because the queen has only one sister and no brother, even Lord Lin is a law-abiding person.
The Queen had just gotten up and had breakfast when she received so many rewards. However, there was no joy on her face, just a dull expression.
I had someone pack up my things, and I couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in. At this time, a palace maid came to report that Concubine Han had arrived.
The Queen raised her lips. It seemed that Han Meiren was a really smart person. She was just a little anxious. She looked at the maid and said, "Let her in."
After packing up, the queen went to the main hall. Concubine Han was already waiting there. Seeing the queen coming in, she knelt down and said, "Sister, I pay my respects to the queen."
"Congratulations, Queen."
The queen glanced at Han Meiren calmly and said, "Get up."
After saying that, he ignored Concubine Han, which made Concubine Han a little embarrassed. Usually, Concubine Han relied on the fact that the Emperor had never favored the Queen and never came to pay her respects.
She was still very cold towards the Queen and even didn't understand her very well. Seeing that the Queen didn't speak, she couldn't say what she wanted to say for a while.
The Queen glanced at Concubine Han and said, "Concubine Han, do you have anything else to say? If you have anything to say, please speak quickly. I am a little tired."
Han Meiren bit her lip. She felt like the queen was showing off. She looked at the queen, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, I just wanted to ask you something."
"Will the Emperor enter the harem in the future?"
