Chapter 106 - The Emperor was the example of all people

When the two entered the chamber in the evening, Yun Fenghuang was still angry.

The Emperor felt happy when he saw her gloomy face, but he didn’t care about it. As undressing her, he deliberately teased her, “I said that the two were blind, but you didn’t believe it! You are the most decisive one. Have you been soft-hearted since joining the Imperial Harem? However, when I said that Yi Xing’en and Qu Hongzhuan should not be selected to the Imperial Harem, you got angry. It can be seen that because they are disabled, you feel pity!”

“Yes. I feel so pity for them!” Yun Fenghuang patted his hand away and hummed, “I am not in the mood for you, Your Majesty. You can come to other sisters!”

Emperor Chunjia did not force her, stopped his move, and stretched his head to kiss her. He continued to tease her with excitement, “No. First, it is too late, and I am too lazy to move; second, you are in a bad mood. How could I leave?”

Yun Fenghuang said seriously, “Because I am too upset to serve you, how dare I delay the time for you to spend the night with other concubines?”

“Didn’t you say that you like me most?” Emperor Chunjia asked calmly, “Since that, I’m with you, and I’m sure you will soon be happy… Or you always lie to me, and don’t like me that much?”

He said, reached out, and pinched Yun Fenghuang’s cheek, wondering, “Why don’t you give me a smile?”

“…” Yun Fenghuang was silent, and said slightly, “I am of course happy inside. After all, the two most beautiful Cai Nv were arranged in Xuan Qing Palace, but you came over without looking for them and stayed here with me. In terms of this point, I am happy! I know that you like me most. What you said that Cai Nv Yi and Cai Nv Qu are blind was just kidding me. I know your heart…”

She said this emotionally, lowered her head, and suddenly turned the topic, “Because of this, I couldn’t be happy anymore.”

Seeing this, Emperor Chunjia knew that she was going to do something, and he asked why self-composedly.

“Noble Consort Gui and Jie Yu Yue are still pregnant!” Yun Fenghuang sighed softly, with a sorrowful, sentimental, and compassionate face, “Since they had sent people to Her Highness to ask Cai Nv Yi and Cai Nv Qu to come their palaces. But Her Highness refused and gave them to me. However, you didn’t comfort them and came here… How could I afford the favor of Your Majesty and Her Highness? Regardless of others, the two are pregnant. I… I am…”

“You are uncomfortable?” Emperor Chunjia listened quietly, gently touched her head, and said slowly, “Then you serve me well, and give birth to a baby for me.”

Yun Fenghuang was speechless.

She just wanted to tease him, but he said that to her!

Fortunately, it was a plan for Yun Fenghuang to say that she couldn’t be pregnant. If she were really framed by others, she would not accept it so calmly.

Otherwise, what the Emperor said would almost make Yun Fenghuang fight against him!

“You are wronged.” The Emperor said sympathetically, “Then I tell you. You should do more good things in the future. For example, you can share your monthly allowance with your maids. When I can’t come, you just have porridge and pickles. There is no need to make new clothes. Give your jewels to maids or exchange money with them to start soup booths… In short, try to live a bitter life, and think of others… If you do good deeds for decades, maybe you will have a child?”

Wasn’t the Emperor always kind?

When did he become so ruthless?

Yun Fenghuang was angry but endured it. Finally, she couldn’t help but force a fake smile, “Your Majesty, I am just a Jie Yu, and it’s okay if I have no child. But, Your Majesty, as the owner and the Emperor of the dynasty, if you have no child, who will be the heir of Gongxiang Family? Therefore, it is better for you to put aside all imperial affairs and live a hard life of thirty or fifty years and always think about others… After all, it would be a big deal if an Emperor had no child!”

Hearing this, the Emperor wasn’t angry at all, but asked Yun Fenghuang calmly, “Since Noble Consort Gui and Lianniang are pregnant, why are you so determined that I can’t get a prince this time?”

“… I didn’t say that.” Although Yun Fenghuang occasionally dared to provoke him, she didn’t dare to offend him apparently. At the moment, she said immediately, “I just thought that if you did this, you might get a pair. If you have a lot of children, I am also glad for you, Your Majesty!”

Emperor Chunjia said, “OK.”

Yun Fenghuang was confused, and tentatively said, “Your Majesty?”

“I’m just thinking if I did this as you said from tomorrow, but didn’t get two princes…” Emperor Chunjia looked at her and asked slowly, “How could I deal with you, Jie Yu Mao?”

Seeing that he was so calm, Yun Fenghuang was upset, and wondered whether he would really struggle for a few months to frame her or not.

When she was hesitant, the Emperor suddenly laughed. He lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, “I am just kidding. Look at you!”

It seemed that he didn’t want to talk anymore. After saying this, he put his hand into Yun Fenghuang’s clothes… Yun Fenghuang bit her lip and thought for a while, but didn’t refuse him this time.

They didn’t talk more that night. Before daybreak next morning, Xi Le and others woke her up and said that Cai Nv already waited outside the hall to pay respect.

Yun Fenghuang had to drag her weary body and hugged the quilt with melancholy, “It’s not easy to be a hostess…”

“Isn’t it harder for Cai Nv?” The Emperor who needed to go to the levee didn’t get up at this moment. Hearing this, he closed his eyes and stretched his arms around her waist to pinch, and said casually, “When they get up and wash, you are still asleep. At this moment, they are outside, but you have not yet…”

Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang bent and bit his shoulder, and said bitterly, “You still care about new concubines… In this case, why did you stay here yesterday? Do you regret now? You said you care about me. But I also experienced these things at that time.”

Emperor Chunjia, who was still a little sleepy, was closing his eyes to take a rest while enjoying the complaint of his young beautiful consort. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and smiled at her, “At that time? You forget that it was only a few months since you joined the Imperial Harem.”

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully, “Do you feel that every day seems like a year in the Imperial Harem?”

“I can’t see you every day. I always miss you, so, every day seems like a year.” Yun Fenghuang fixed her long hair, confirmed that it was not crushed by him, and climbed over him to the ground as usual. Emperor Chunjia didn’t move, and just looked at her thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang was confused after standing on the footstool, and she asked, “Your Majesty?”

“I’m worried that you may seize the opportunity to set me up.” The Emperor warned, “Be far away from me when you wear your clothes! Do not stand on the footstool!”

“… When did I do such a thing?” Yun Fenghuang was wronged, “Besides, as a weak girl, how could I set you up, Your Majesty?”

The Emperor silently pulled the quilt off, unbuttoned his underclothes, revealing his chest with clear muscles, on which there were several scratches that had healed. He looked at Yun Fenghuang calmly.

Yun Fenghuang pondered for a moment, turned around immediately, closed his underclothes, pulled the quilt, and tucked carefully. Then she said, “There is an ice utensil in the hall. Be careful or you may catch a cold.”

Without saying anything, she pulled the curtain to block the sight of the Emperor on the bed. Then she wore her silk shoes, walked on the woolen blanket, and held clothes to wear behind a screen.

Yes, she went to wear…

She went…

She…

…

Emperor Chunjia, who was left on the bed, stared at the top of the bed curtain and fell into contemplation…

He felt that today, maybe he could be more shameless on the levee.

After all, as the Emperor, he was the example of all people. Even if he should be shameless, he should be more shameless than a consort in the Imperial Harem…

Yun Fenghuang didn’t know that she had begun to misguide the Emperor. Because of her guilty conscience, she didn’t say a word to the Emperor after she dressed up, and then she hurried out of the chamber.

Xi Le and others were already prepared outside. After seeing the situation, they rushed up to serve. Yun Fenghuang asked, “Is everyone here?”

“Except Pin Yun.” Xi Jing whispered while she stuck buyao hairpin for Yun Fenghuang, “Cai Nv should be afraid of being late and came here in advance.”

But Yun Qingman didn’t know it. She still came in accordance with the usual time… She came here according to the time when Yun Fenghuang went out, which was not because she neglected Yun Fenghuang deliberately, but because she was actually speechless when she met the latter at this time as for her previous relationship with Yun Fenghuang, and particularly hoped to shorten the time.

Especially before new concubines joined, there were only Yun Fenghuang and Yun Qingman in Xuan Qing Palace. After sitting together, there was nobody to interrupt or say a word, so, she even refused to come early.

It was okay before. But, compared with new concubines today, more or less, it seemed that she neglected.

However, Yun Fenghuang didn’t care about it, and just said, “Since I am not ready, it’s okay for Pin Yun to come later. It is hot outside, and Cai Nv must be tired after stood outside the hall for a long time. Just ask them to go to the side hall to have a rest and eat some snacks.”

But she didn’t serve them tea. She was afraid that they wanted to pee on the way.

At this point, even Yun Fenghuang, as the hostess, controlled herself. They had no choice. Although there was a little difference between Yan Fu Palace and Mian Fu Palace, the distance was long. Besides, no one knew whether the Empress and the Queen Mother were going to say a few words, or talk a lot.

In case they were happy to say more… then…

Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang felt that being a consort was not very comfortable. It was better to be the Empress in the Imperial Harem…

Oh, no, the Empress still had to pay respect to the Queen Mother…

Sure enough, it was much easier and more comfortable to depend on one’s son than on one’s husband…

Even if the son was not her biological son.

When she was absent, she had already been dressed. She went out to the parlor and had some breakfast before listening to the report of a maid, saying that Pin Yun was coming, “She is breathless. It seemed that she ran over in a hurry.”

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said nothing. After a while, she let people withdraw her breakfast, rinsed her mouth and wiped, and went out to the side hall to meet people. After concubines saluted, she said, “It’s a rule that as a hostess, I can come to pay Her Highness respect a little later. Therefore, you don’t have to come so early in the future. Of course, I know your diligence.”

Seeing Yun Qingman wanted to say something, she ignored and said some encouraging words. As the time was almost up, she ordered maids to prepare a sedan and still gave her no opportunity to speak.

Yun Fenghuang knew that there might be trouble as they paid respect, but unexpectedly, she encountered someone who provoked on the road.
