Although Ye Jun was surprised, he quickly calmed down. He smiled and gestured to Nan Zhi to give him a big red envelope.
Tsk... It's not a good thing to sleep with the emperor today. The dog emperor wants to use her as cannon fodder!
Ye Jun was so angry that her teeth were itching, but this was her first time to sleep with the emperor, and it was also the best opportunity to change the emperor's opinion of her, so she had to be cautious.
After all, I'm going to spend the rest of my life in the palace, so I have to sit on the lap of my financial sponsor first, right
"Wanrong is going to pick out clothes and jewelry now?" Huiyue couldn't stop smiling, "I'll ask the maid to boil some water in the back."
Of course, you have to take a bath before going to bed.
If it is hot today, the water temperature does not need to be too high, and it does not take much time to boil a large bucket.
Ye Jun nodded. He had to hurry as he had to wash and dress up in half an hour and rush to Jiuchen Palace.
She didn't hesitate at all when choosing the jewelry. She already had a plan in her mind and quickly picked out a set of mutton-fat jade headpieces.
This kind of high-quality mutton-fat jade is rare, but Ye Jun has it in spades. Her mother, Chu, was born into a famous merchant family in Nanqi State, so she has everything she wants.
As for makeup, Ye Jun's skin is extremely fair and tender, so she doesn't need to put on powder. She draws her eyebrows long but not too thin, with a slight curve, which makes her look playful and charming.
She took some crabapple-colored rouge, dipped a little with her fingertips and spread it on the end of the eye. She sharpened the indigo used for drawing eyebrows and drew a slightly upward eyeliner. Her round and lively eyes became charming.
Naturally, a little rouge is also applied on the cheeks and nose, making the whole person look like a drunk elf. She looks playful and cute, but also reveals a bit of fairy-like charm.
As for the clothes, she chose a floor-length skirt made of misty gauze. There were no floral patterns on it, except for a circle of spring jasmine embroidered with branches embroidered with silver thread around the hem, which looked like ripples of light as she walked.
She also covered it with a small blouse made of Xiangfei-colored snow-white gauze satin, which looked lively and simple.
When Ye Jun came out of the room, the eunuch from Jiuchen Palace was stunned.
Having spent half his life in the harem, what kind of beauties have he not seen? But today, after seeing Ye Wanrong dressed up carefully, he immediately felt that the favored Concubine Wen might be inferior to her.
"Thank you for leading the way, sir." Ye Jun bowed slightly with a faint smile on his face.
"Wanrong, you are too polite. Please get in the sedan chair now!"
The eunuch bent down hurriedly. Although the emperor did not like Ye Wanrong now, he had not seen her yet. Ye Wanrong was so beautiful that she might sleep with him today, and there would be another hot stove in the palace in the future.
As servants, they were naturally careful to flatter in every way, and when they thought about this, they became even more polite.
When we arrived at Jiuchen Palace, the second-in-command Huai'an was waiting outside.
"Your concubine, Wanrong Ye, is here to serve you, my Lord. Please pass on the message, my Lord."
"Wanrong, you are too polite. The Emperor is reviewing memorials inside. He gave instructions early in the morning. Wanrong will come in and serve with writing materials."
After hearing this, Ye Jun knew that the emperor probably wanted to order her around.
If he really wanted her to take care of the writing, he wouldn't have called her so late. It's already dark outside now.
Huai'an didn't seem to intend to go in with her. He just opened the door and then stepped aside.
Following behind was Nan Zhi, who naturally couldn't go in either. She watched her master enter the hall with a worried look on her face.
This was not the first time Ye Jun had seen Ning Chen. Her father held a high position and was able to enter the palace during festivals. She had also caught a glimpse of him from afar at banquets of all sizes.
She had known before that the princes of the Nanqi royal family were all good-looking, but now that she had seen them up close, she was still amazed.
Ning Chen has fair skin, a pair of phoenix eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips with a hint of natural light pink. He must have just drunk tea, and his lips are moist and crystal clear. He is definitely a handsome man.
After calming herself down, the girl took a few steps forward, lifted her skirt, and bowed gracefully.
"Your Majesty is still reading memorials, be careful that you must be tired. I didn't do anything this afternoon, but I'm very hungry now. Has Your Majesty eaten yet?"
The girl's voice is soft and very pleasant to the ear.
The person serving on the side was Yuan Jiu, the top leader of Jiuchen Palace. He looked up at Ye Jun and thought, is this person here to eat or to sleep with him? He is so bold.
Ning Chen originally didn't want to pay any attention to this woman, and even planned to just leave her alone.
Anyway, the emperor asked you to come in to serve him with writing. How he orders you around or not is all his business.
But he never expected Ye Jun to say such a thing as soon as he opened his mouth, which made him look at him curiously.
When he raised his head, he saw the stunningly beautiful girl smiling at him. When he looked into her lively eyes, he felt like he had suddenly fallen into a pool of clear spring, which made him a little dazed.
As a male creature who only judges women by appearance, Ning Chen had to admit that this woman was extremely beautiful.
Moreover, in the past, any concubine who looked at him would either be shy and timid, or would not dare to look him in the face due to the rules.
It felt very strange to be looked at so openly by Ye Jun today.
But even so, Ning Chen still didn't like the woman in front of him. If it weren't for his good elder brother who had a brain injury back then, this woman would have been from the backyard of the eldest prince Ning Ze. He felt disgusted just thinking about it.
In this era, engaged women are always criticized and despised, not to mention that Ning Chen is now the emperor, which makes him even more unhappy.
Even though Ye Jun was only favored by Ning Ze and nothing happened, it still made him uncomfortable.
"Do I need you to comment on what I do?" Ning Chen snorted coldly, threw down the pen in his hand and raised his chin.
Ye Jun was not afraid of him. He stood up on his own, still smiling.
"I dare not interfere with what the emperor does, but I am hungry and my hands and feet are too weak to serve the emperor. I hope the emperor will show mercy and give me a meal. After I have the meal, I can serve the emperor, right?"
She is probably the only one in the harem who can say these words without changing her expression.
But she acted weak, as if Ning Chen was stingy for not inviting her to eat. She wanted the horse to run but did not want it to eat grass.
After all, he is the descendant of a meritorious official, so we should not treat him harshly.
Ning Chen pursed his lips in displeasure before instructing Yuan Jiu, "Ask someone to serve the meal."
"yes."
Yuan Jiu responded and was about to leave when Ye Jun called him.
"Please stay, father-in-law. I have some dishes I want to eat. Please tell the kitchen." Ye Jun did not give him a chance to speak and continued, "A dish of pickled cabbage with vinegar. It must be made with the cabbage heart and cannot be fried too old. A dish of fungus and cucumber. Cut them into thin strips and mix them cold with sesame oil, vinegar, white sesame seeds, and minced garlic. I also want corn shrimp and cherry meat. Remember to use less oil in the last two dishes and make them lighter."
Originally, Ning Chen had not planned to dine with her, but after hearing her name such a list of dishes, he suddenly felt even hungrier.
A twenty-year-old man has a big appetite and was indeed hungry.
Of course, he originally planned to eat alone and asked Ye Jun to serve him and the dishes, but now they were eating together.
Ning Chen even ate one more bowl of rice than usual.
The law of true fragrance is always useful, and Ye Jun knows too well the charm of food.
Sure enough, after the meal, Ning Chen didn't seem to hate Ye Jun so much anymore.
Especially during the meal, Ye Jun behaved very relaxed and well-behaved, allowing Ning Chen to have a rare relaxing dinner.
Of course, at the moment I just thought that this woman came from a military family and was not as reserved as other ladies. It was not until she went to the dragon bed later that I realized that this woman was not only unreserved, but was extremely bold.
At least, Yuan Jiu and Huai An, who were waiting outside the palace, heard the emperor shout, "Ye, get off me!"
