On July 20th, he set out for the palace.
Ning Chen was in a good mood and took Ye Jun with him to ride in the imperial carriage.
Now that there is no queen, Ye Jun is the noble concubine, the head of all concubines. She has also given birth to three royal heirs, so she deserves this honor.
When Ye Jun was led to the carriage by Ning Chen under the attention of everyone, she still looked dignified and generous. As soon as she got into the carriage, she nestled into someone's arms.
To the outside, it appears to be a proud and cold little wild cat, but to the inside, it appears to be soft and cuddly.
This contrast just made Ning Chen feel that it was adorable.
"Did you get up too early and not get enough sleep?"
After adjusting the person into a comfortable position and hugging him, Ning Chen also leaned back on the pillow.
Ye Jun leaned in his arms, and looking up, she saw the Adam's apple move, so she stretched out her finger and touched it dishonestly.
"Making trouble again." Ning Chen's eyes dimmed, and he grabbed the jade finger and bit it lightly.
The woman in his arms smiled softly, and lazily leaned her head on his chest, mumbling softly, "I didn't sleep well last night."
Ning Chen frowned, "But the child was crying and bothering you?"
Although this pair of twins are not as tall as the Fourth Prince when he was born, their voices are just as loud.
The two children cried together, and their voices could be heard in the next hall.
This is amazing. Ning Chen has seen it before.
But Ye Jun shook his head.
She suddenly put her arms around Ning Chen's neck, forcing him to lean closer to her, and put her red lips close to his ear.
"How can you sleep well when the emperor lets you stay alone in an empty room?"
With such a beautiful woman in my arms and so tempting, even though I can't eat meat as much as I want, I can't help but taste the soup.
Bending over to taste it carefully, in just a moment, Mei Niang's red lips became even more delicate and tempting, even more beautiful than cherries.
Fortunately, the road was uneven and the carriage was slightly bumpy, which was refreshing.
Otherwise, once you taste it, you will become addicted to it and find it difficult to control yourself.
Ning Chen closed his eyes slightly, tried to calm himself down, and then hugged the person tighter.
"There were many memorials yesterday, and I was so absorbed in reviewing them that I forgot the time. Now that it's getting late, I didn't come over because I didn't want to disturb your rest."
It was just a joke, but he unexpectedly explained it seriously. Ye Jun thought Ning Chen was extremely cute for a moment.
"Your Majesty is very busy with government affairs, but you must also take care of yourself. Staying up late is harmful to your health and even more so to your eyes. Your Majesty's phoenix eyes are very precious to me. Please finish your work earlier and come to accompany me in the future."
That's how she could express her concern in such a playful way.
Ning Chen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips and responded softly with "OK".
The journey back to the palace was still long, so the two of them chatted for a while and then went to sleep together.
When they were almost at the palace, Yuan Jiu woke everyone up and asked Huiyue and Nanzhi to get in the car to help Ye Yun with her makeup and hair.
However, Ye Jun was a little dazed during his sleep. When he got off the carriage, he didn't step firmly on the stool and almost fell down.
Ning Chen's heart tightened, and he reached out and carried the person down from the car.
This time, it happened in front of all the concubines and officials.
Everyone lowered their heads and did not see the dowry, but they were secretly surprised that the emperor's favor for Concubine Ming had reached this level.
In the crowd, Concubine Jingxian lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them, and led the concubines who stayed in the palace to come forward to pay their respects.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
After bowing, Concubine Jingxian felt extremely aggrieved.
But there was no way. Ye Jun’s position was higher than hers now, so she had to submit even if she was not convinced in her heart.
"No need to be polite." Ning Chen waved his hand and then asked, "Have all the arrangements for Zhaochun Palace been made?"
"According to the emperor's wishes, everything has been arranged. The royal concubine can move in today. The things that were originally placed in the original place can be moved slowly in the next few days. I, the concubine, will not move the royal concubine's things." Concubine Jingxian said with a smile.
This was also said for Ning Chen to hear.
As for whether she had done anything, Concubine Jingxian knew it clearly in her heart, and Ye Jun would not believe her just because of what she said.
"Thank you, Sister Xianfei, for taking care of everything for me. Now that I'm back, you can relax a little. But don't try to be lazy. If you throw everything to me, I'll be so busy that I will have to ask you for help." Ye Jun said with a faint smile.
Just one sentence made Concubine Jingxian's eyes darken.
Indeed, Concubine Jingxian was planning to hand over all the palace power in a random manner so that Ye Jun would be confused for a while and delay the arrangement of the Mid-Autumn Festival state banquet.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jun had already thought of this and was on guard against her.
Concubine Jingxian could clearly state in front of the emperor that she respected Ye Jun and had never touched her things. Ye Jun could also lay out the matter of palace power in front of Ning Chen, so she could not do whatever she wanted.
As expected, Ning Chen followed suit and said, "It's very stressful for the Imperial Concubine to raise three children. You should work harder, Concubine Xian. In the next two days, sort out the things you have to do and then hand them over to the Imperial Concubine."
"Yes, this is what I should do." Concubine Jingxian pinched her nose and bowed.
Ye Jun added, "Why not assign some tasks to Sister Huifei to help with, so that Xianfei can relax a bit."
"Okay, the affairs of the harem are up to you, just don't tire yourself out." Ning Chen nodded.
Concubine Jingxian suffered one loss after another, and she was very annoyed, but she could only hold it in.
Ning Chen had some things to deal with when he returned to the palace, so he went straight to the imperial study.
Ye Yun dismissed all the concubines and took a sedan chair to his new residence, Zhaochun Palace.
This is the best place in the harem besides Fengqi Palace, and it is also the closest to the Emperor's Jiuchen Palace.
The courtyard has three entrances, with a small flower garden inside and an old pomegranate tree in the yard. The feng shui and scenery are impeccable.
Now the palace is full of newly assigned eunuchs and palace maids, all kneeling to pay their respects.
Ye Jun didn't have the heart to beat anyone up himself, so he handed the job over to Huiyue, Nanzhi and Kongqing.
He also ordered that only trustworthy elderly people should be hired to serve the three children, and no newcomers were allowed to take over.
She also asked the elderly to serve her, and tried to arrange newcomers to work in unimportant places first, and then slowly selected them, deciding which ones to keep and which ones to drive out.
"Call Doctor Shen to check my pulse later."
Ye Jun walked around the room and gave the order.
Huiyue knew what she meant. She wanted to ask Imperial Doctor Shen to come and check if there was anything unclean in Zhaochun Palace.
After all, it was Concubine Jingxian who arranged the cleaning and decoration, so naturally I couldn't trust her.
While waiting for the imperial physician, Concubine Zhou and Zheng Wanrong came together.
Although they are not of high positions, they are all smart people. During the time they stayed in the palace, they helped Ye Yun remember what was going on in the palace.
As they were talking, Zheng Wanrong mentioned that after Qi Xiurong became pregnant, she seldom went out in the past few months. According to the servants in her palace, she felt sleepy all day long and slept most of the time. She also liked to eat sour food.
After finishing what needed to be said, both of them went back quickly as they were afraid of disturbing Ye Jun's rest.
After the two men left, Ye Jun spoke to the two maids beside him.
"If I remember correctly, Qi Xiurong is almost six months pregnant. How can she still be so sleepy at this age?"
