Chapter 81:

It’s Ji Heng’s idea that Tian Qi should be pregnant with his child. He’s thought it over and over. First of all, although Tian Qi also likes him, Ji Heng always feels uneasy about her heart. What is the difference between them? Tian Qi didn’t trust him completely. This makes Ji Heng helpless. If Tian Qi is pregnant with his child, things will be different. At the thought of it, Ji Heng was a little excited.

Also, it is the most crucial point. No matter how Tian Qi came from, her identity is too shameful. A eunuch suddenly became a woman one day. This kind of thing happened in the strict imperial palace. It’s kind to kill her without beating her randomly. How can she be allowed to enter the palace as a concubine? The Empress Dowager alone can’t pass. But of course, Ji Heng knew that it was the child. As long as Tian Qi could bear the Dragon seed, the Empress Dowager should be able to support it. With the support of the empress dowager, Tian Qi’s identity will change more smoothly.

Ji Heng does not particularly hope that Tian Qi will enter the harem as soon as possible. There is no doubt that she is his woman, but he does not want to confuse her with other women. She may live in the palace of a particular concubine, or a better situation, she can be assigned to a palace alone. They can’t face each other every day. When he wants to be intimate with her, he must follow the standard procedure. Her name will be mixed with many green cards. At the thought of these, Ji Heng feels bitter. Sometimes, he especially wanted to hide Tian Qi in a place no one could find, only two of them. Of course, this kind of thing can only be considered. He loves her, so he should think more about her.

Tian Qi is also very considerate of him. She likes Ji Heng, so she is willing to do something against the etiquette with him and give him her body. After so many years as a eunuch in the Imperial Palace, and frequently touching his little brother, Tian Qi’s moral and ethical values have been broken, so she has not much psychological burden to do that with the Emperor.

But after all, it’s not true. Tian Qi knows that this kind of situation will give her a bad reputation. What if she has a child? Will it be born in secret, and raised in secret? Children who don’t know who their father is when they are young. Or put pressure on the Emperor to enter the palace and become one of his three thousand beauties with the child as the chip, and then be trapped in the deep palace all her life?

This is not what Tian Qi wants. What Tian Qi wants is to avenge his father and then go out of the palace to live freely. She had thought about marrying before, but now she doesn’t want to. She has lived like a man, and what kind of people she married. She did not dare to think about staying with an Emperor. She had no backing and, no confidence to asked an emperor to have only her in his heart. If the obsession is too deep, the result can only be a failure. So she continually persuades herself to just look at him, like him, love him, and do happy things with him. When everyone’s fate is over, it’s good to get together and disperse.

She hypnotized herself so that she could be free and easy.

But in front of love, only those who don’t love can be free and easy.

Tian Qi did not dare to have a child, so she found Wang Meng. Although she didn’t know how the child formed, do it with Emperor, and that was always dangerous.

Wang Meng heard Tian Qi’s hesitation, and he was a little strange, “what’s the matter with you? Don’t the Emperor just want to give the concubine the pill to avoid children? Why are you shy? ”

‘Yeah, I don’t have to be shy. No one knows it’s me’. Tian Qi settled her mind and said, “then you can do it as soon as possible. And… Don’t tell anyone. ”

Wang Meng nodded. There are some rules in the palace that he naturally knows, and he doesn’t say much.

Tian Qi put the pill in her residence. If anything happened with the Emperor, she would go back and take one secretly. She thought it would go well, but soon she met a new challenge.

Lovers are not the only thing. After passion, Ji Heng doesn’t want Tian Qi to leave in a hurry. He wanted to talk leisurely and sleep with her in his arms. He wants to sleep like a mandarin duck and hug each other for a long night, which will make him feel full.

These can’t be done in the imperial palace. Ji Heng wants to go out to have a rendezvous with Tian Qi. Sheng Anhuai is very considerate. He secretly set up a house for them outside the imperial palace. It’s not far from the Forbidden City. It’s not an official community. He bought some honest servants to clean and guard the house. After nightfall, Ji Heng and Tian Qi disguised and went out of the house to start nightlife.

Ji Heng always felt that as soon as he stepped into this house, he would enter another world. It’s secluded, quiet, free from worldly affairs and distractions. With his loved ones

talks in candlelight, like an ordinary couple.

They have to get up before dawn in the morning. Ji Heng can’t ask for leave every day. He has to go up on time. Sometimes Ji Heng is afraid of Tian Qi’s tiredness and wants her to sleep a little longer. Tian Qi doesn’t dare to let the Emperor go back to the palace alone. Otherwise, she can’t explain it clearly. Anyway, she is used to getting up early. Besides, she has to go back to take medicine

It was like this for a few days. Ji Heng is more and more fond of going out of the palace. Tian Qi also yearned for the place where she was the only one. At first, she advised him, but later, she couldn’t help but go out with him.

The Emperor often goes out of the palace. People dare not talk about it on the face, but they always talk in private.

Hanguang Hall.

It’s getting colder and colder. At the gate of Hanguang hall, the branches and leaves of the cinnamon tree were almost gone. Early in the morning, the dark brown branches formed a translucent white, like a layer of silver powder. A few gray sparrows stepped on the silver powder, and twitter did not know what was being discussed. A eunuch passed by the tree and looked up to see a group of birds, afraid they would get bird droppings on their heads, so they hid their hats and evaded.

The eunuch walked directly into the Hanguang hall and saw the Consort Shun, who had just had breakfast in the flower hall. Consort Shun was drinking tea slowly. Seeing him coming, she put down the tea bowl and said with a smile, “here comes Wei Gonggong? Come and sit. ”

When the weather was cold, there were two charcoal pots in the flower hall. Consort Shun was still complaining about the cold with the people beside her. The palace maid did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional. She smiled and answered, “If there is an earth dragon, it will be fine” In this regard, everyone knows that in addition to the Qianqing Palace and Cining Palace, only the Kunning Palace has an earth dragon. Consort Shun took a sip of tea and scolded the palace maid for being shameless. The palace maid bowed her head to admit her mistake, but there was no shame on her face.

After chatting for a while, Consort Shun dismissed others and asked about the business. The man called Wei Gonggong replied, “as Consort Shun expected, the Emperor went out of the palace again last night. ”

Consort Shun nodded. “According to Wei Gonggong, what kind of foxes did the Emperor raise outside, or did he love Tian Qi?” Referring to the latter, Consort Shun frowned. The little eunuch who sells ass, how disgusting it is.

Wei Gonggong replied, ” “Don’t dare to confess to this kind of thing. Consort Shun asked the slave to ask for something, and the slave worked hard to do it. Others, but it’s up to the lady, to tell the truth. Except for the Emperor, there is no other person who is as clever as Consort Shun”.

“In this way, I don’t hide it from you. I think the latter is more likely. Although Tian Qi is a eunuch, she looks more watery than flowers. It’s unknown that the Emperor wants to taste it. Moreover, I want you to test Sheng Anhuai’s attitude to see his reaction. Tian Qi’s popularity is almost over him now, but he doesn’t show half a trace of jealousy or despicability. Either he is willing to give up, or he knows that Tian Qi has climbed the Dragon bed, and he dare not neglect Tian Qi. The latter is more likely. “Consort Shun said, looking at  Wei Gonggong and nodding her head, she sneered.” no matter what, Tian Qi is not simple. The Emperor hated eunuch so much, but she could seduce him. If the empress dowager knew about it, I don’t know how she would react. “Thinking of the Empress Dowager’s expression when she learned that her son was playing with a eunuch, there is a trace of pleasure on her face.

Seeing this, Wei Gonggong asked, “what do you mean,  you want to use this thing to stab her back? ”

“Don’t worry,” Consort Shun shook her head. “Tian Qi is in favor now. She blows a pillow wind with the Emperor. I’m afraid it’s more useful than anything. How can I be an enemy of such a person? Naturally, I should first draw close to her. Her handle is in my hand. If she doesn’t obey me, I’ll think about other things. ”

Wei Gonggong nodded secretly, feeling that he had chosen the right master. He has a lot of contacts in the palace, but he only been working in the yamen, not in the back palace. This person’s mind is like playing mahjong. If you want to have a big beard, you can turn over your whole life. No, after several years of observation, he chose Consort Shun. Now it seems that the lady didn’t let him down. “When it comes to the empress dowager, I heard about another thing,” said Wei Gonggong

“What is it? ”

“The Empress Dowager seems to be a little dissatisfied with Tian Qi recently and wants to take care of her. Consort Shun, do you think the Empress Dowager already knows about it? ”

“No way. If the empress dowager knew she would have come to the door long ago, and how could she sit in Cining Palace. She must have thought that the Emperor was instigated by Tian Qi to be bad and that he was just going out of the palace to get into trouble. ”

“Then we… ”

“We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. When it’s appropriate, we need to pull a handful of Tian Qi. We are not afraid that she will turn back. ”

“Yes… ”
