After a fierce battle, the day was wasted.
Ning Chen buried his head in Ye Jun's shoulder, hot beads of sweat falling down, mixing with the fine sweat on Ye Jun's body. Both of them were panting, and their bodies were limp.
The worst thing was that they didn't tie their hair up before going to bed, and now their long hair was tangled together, which was so uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, please get up quickly. My shoulders hurt." Ye Jun raised her hand and pushed the man.
Ning Chen reluctantly propped himself up, with a hint of excitement still in his phoenix eyes.
Seeing their hair tangled together, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Seeing that he was still standing there motionless, he pinched his strong waist.
"Hiss—Ye you!" Ning Chen felt pain and immediately became angry.
He raised his hand and squeezed the soft flesh of the woman's chest, then quickly pulled on a robe and put it on, then turned over and got off the bed.
Ye Jun was naturally in pain, but Ning Chen was still holding back, as it was probably just some playful flirting in bed, and he didn't really hurt her.
So he rolled around in bed for a while and called Huiyue to come in and help him get up.
After washing and combing her hair, Ye Jun didn't want to tie her hair up anymore, so she simply pulled a white ribbon to tie it loosely.
But the casual clothes she was wearing were also plain in color, which made her look very elegant and refined.
Isn't it said that if you want to look pretty, you should wear mourning clothes? People who are already good-looking will look even more beautiful in white.
Ning Chen was ordering food, and when he saw her coming out, he waved, "Tell Yuan Jiu what you want to eat."
"Then I won't be polite. Today I am honored by the emperor, so I have to eat something good." Ye Jun came over with a smile and sat down next to him in a dishonest manner.
"Chicken slices in lotus sauce, Chinese cabbage in boiled water, first-class tofu, and a dish of cold-mixed black fungus." Ye Jun casually mentioned a few dishes, and at the end he reminded, "Cut the black fungus into shreds, add tofu skin, green pepper, and cucumber, all cut into shreds, blanch them in water, pour hot sesame oil on them, and add some vinegar or something, and mix them. I'm sure the chefs in the kitchen know all this."
Yuan Jiu agreed and immediately went down to give the order.
The chef who had made things difficult for Ye Jun in the kitchen was replaced, and the new chef is called Liu Dun.
It was already difficult for the servants in Lingxi Garden to make a name for themselves, but now that he had risen to power, he felt that Lady Ye was his benefactor and served her even more attentively.
The dinner was prepared to perfection, and the two of them enjoyed the meal very much, and they also received a lot of rewards.
Because he had exercised in the evening, Ye Jun felt very sleepy when he lay down at night.
But Ning Chen is not tired. He is a young man in his early twenties, full of vigor and vitality.
Of course, not everyone is interested in everyone, but at least for now he finds doing this with Ye Jun the most interesting and not like a routine task.
His mind was wandering and his hands were restless. Ye Jun turned over with his back to him, not thinking about it at all.
Unexpectedly, the little emperor who always "attached great importance to rules" did not lose his temper. He even surrounded the man from behind as if he had discovered a new continent.
The annoyed bamboo spirit will bite people, but things have come to this point, and the dragon will not give up even if it is bitten to death.
There was a humming sound in the room, and an uninvited guest came outside.
"I'm Xiangluo, the head maid of the Concubine Shu. Our Concubine has something urgent to ask the Emperor to come over."
"May I ask what's the urgent matter, sister? The emperor has been lying down with our beauty for a while..."
Without waiting for Huiyue to finish, Xiangluo walked around her and went straight inside. "Who the hell are you? You've delayed the queen's business. Watch out for your skin!"
Huiyue frowned, feeling angry, but she managed to keep herself calm and stopped Baishu and Lumei who were trying to stop them.
Xiangluo walked outside the house and saw Yuanjiu waiting there. She then calmed down a little and walked up to him carefully and told him what happened.
Yuan Jiu frowned. It would certainly not be nice to disturb the emperor at this moment, but since it was related to the eldest princess, he had to tell her. So he had to bite the bullet and go.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is not feeling well and is crying loudly. Concubine Shu asks you to go over and take a look!"
Ning Chen was suddenly interrupted. He gritted his teeth and wanted to kill someone.
Ye Jun sneered in his heart, this Concubine Shu was really picking on the weak.
The emperor had not seen her anywhere else these days, but today he was here and dared to come to her house.
"The princess is not feeling well. As a mother, Concubine Shu has a kind heart. I think there must be something wrong. Your Majesty, please go quickly."
Although we can't stop her from going, it doesn't delay her from applying the eye drops at all.
With this reminder, Ning Chen remembered that Concubine Shu had used the eldest princess as a pretext to win favor many times. He was already unhappy about it, and now he was even more unhappy.
But since they were his own flesh and blood, he still had to go and see them, so he stood up with a gloomy face.
In Xiaoxiang Garden, the wet nurse had coaxed the eldest princess to sleep, with tears still on her little face, looking so pitiful.
Seeing the emperor coming, Concubine Shu hurriedly lifted her skirt to greet him, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you. I shouldn't have disturbed your rest, but I was so worried about my child that I lost my temper. Please forgive me."
Ning Chen took a look at her exquisite makeup and hair, then waved his hand, "No need to be polite. How is Jiayu? Has the imperial physician seen her?"
"Your Majesty, the princess has fallen asleep. The imperial physician examined her and said it was because of a nightmare. The child has changed to a new environment and it is inevitable that she cannot adapt. She cried in the first two nights after she arrived. Maybe she was too hot today, so she cried even harder."
Speaking of children, Concubine Shu's expression softened a little.
Although it is true that she used the child to win favor, how could she not love her own daughter
Ning Chen nodded, looked at the child again, and then felt relieved.
"It's getting dark now, why don't Your Majesty stay here with me?" Concubine Shu asked tentatively, looking shy and timid.
When she said this, Ning Chen's eyes darkened a little. He could accept concubines playing tricks, but he could not accept them using children to win favor.
The royal bloodline is born noble and is not a tool for these women to use to win favor.
"No, I'll go back and rest. You take good care of the child and don't make any more mistakes."
Ning Chen spoke in a cold voice, and without waiting for Concubine Shu to ask him to stay, he turned around and left Xiaoxiang Garden.
In Xiaoxiang Garden, Concubine Shu's hopes were dashed, and she felt resentful and angry.
But she didn't know that even worse things were yet to come.
The next day was not the day for paying respects, but the queen sent someone to Xiaoxiang Garden.
"My Lady Shufei, the eldest princess has been calling the imperial physician these days, both in the palace and in the garden. This shows that you are giving birth for the first time and you are inexperienced and unable to take good care of the princess. Now that the Empress Dowager has no children, you can take the eldest princess to the Empress Dowager to be raised. On the one hand, the Empress Dowager has enough experience to take good care of the princess, and on the other hand, you can enjoy the happiness of family life."
Nanny Ding smiled wryly and waved her hand, and the servants went to the side hall and carried the princess out.
Shufei naturally refused and went to see the emperor crying.
Although Ning Chen was not very satisfied with the Queen's behavior, he thought that since Concubine Shu had repeatedly used her daughter to win favor, she should be punished to prevent others in the palace from following suit in the future, so he did not meet Concubine Shu.
It would be good to just ask the eldest princess to fulfill her filial duties at the Queen Mother's side.
The Queen's move was a brilliant move. She cut off the source of the problem by taking the eldest princess away and directly destroyed Concubine Shu's support.
