Xi Jiu Er sighed, looked at the servant and said: "Get up, I won't ask anymore."
The servant heaved a sigh of relief, and Xi Jiu Er ordered: "Prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath."
"Yes." The servant responded and left. Xi Jiu Er looked at a certain place with a dejected look, feeling like she was about to cry. Not long later, the hot water next door had already been prepared. The servant girl helped Xi Jiu Er undress, her smooth and tender skin turning dark red one after another, some with bite marks on them. When the young lady, who had yet to leave the pavilion, saw this blush on her face, she thought of a man like the Emperor … Unexpectedly … Unexpectedly …
She calmed her mind and then carefully helped Jiu Er into the bath barrel. After being bathed in the hot water, Xi Jiu Er felt extremely comfortable on her skin.
"Madame …" This was Dong Zhu's voice, and Xi Jiu Er's mind jolted, seeing that Dong Zhu was safely standing in front of him, the corners of her lips curled up in genuine happiness: "Dong Zhu is here, you can leave now."
"Yes." After the servant bowed and left, Dong Zhu came over to serve her. Seeing Xi Jiu Er like that, she knew what happened, and her heart ached for her. "Madame, let's escape …"
Xi Jiu Er did not say anything, but last night, she had faintly heard Feng Qing Cheng whispering in his ear: "Jiu Er, if you run further away from me, I will kill everyone you care about until you appear. Jiu Er... "Don't force me, when I say it, I can do it …"
"Woo woo …" Dong Zhu suddenly cried, Xi Jiu Er was startled: "Everything's fine, why are you crying? "Oh right, how did you get here?"
"Servant doesn't know either. He will be here after Servant wakes up. When Servant came over, he saw too many guards, no matter how smart he is, he wouldn't be able to escape. " Dong Zhu wiped her tears and continued, "Madame, what do you think we should do next? Ah — Madame, your … your stomach seems to have grown a little bigger … "
"Is that so?" Xi Jiu Er lowered her head, appearing to have grown a little bit. She said unconcernedly: "Mn, it's normal for children to slowly grow up."
Dong Zhu tilted her head and said, "But it's a little strange that it got bigger overnight …" Seeing Xi Jiu Er's expression, she kept her mouth shut and continued to do her own thing.
This is the Imperial Palace? Wind Nation Palace? Xi Jiu Er's brain worked very quickly, and after Xi Jiu Er finished packing, the door opened, and a eunuch came in holding a bright imperial decree and something as a reward: "Ruan Family receives the decree."
What, Ruan Family? Xi Jiu Er was startled, and the eunuch smiled: "Hurry and accept the decree." This woman must be carrying the Emperor's eldest son. Her status must not be ordinary.
Xi Jiu Er did not kneel nor accept the decree, and the eunuch chuckled as he did not force anything, and only started to read out the imperial edict: "With the blessing of the Heavens, I am willing to deliver the imperial edict: The Ruan family is virtuous and obedient, gentle and intelligent, and possesses the blood of the Emperor of the Wind Nation, and today, the Ruan family has been conferred the title of Imperial Consort Ruan.
The Emperor's guess was indeed correct. The Ruan clan did not accept the decree.
"If she doesn't accept the decree, then read it yourself." Feng Qing Cheng instructed.
Xi Jiu Er saw that the eunuch quickly finished reciting the decree, and then placed the decree into his chest, and had the palace maids carry the bestowed items in, and watched as the palace people bowed to Xi Jiu Er after doing all of this: "Imperial Concubine Ruan, this old servant will be leaving now."
"Wait." Xi Jiu Er called out to the eunuch, "I want to see your majesty."
"The emperor said that he won't see the Imperial Concubine. Let the Imperial Concubine rest well!" The eunuch pointed at Dong Zhu and said, "This lady, the emperor is looking for you."
"Servant …" Dong Zhu looked at Xi Jiu Er, but Xi Jiu Er rejected him: "No, Dong Zhu cannot leave my side."
"Yes, yes. Servant cannot leave Master's side." Dong Zhu nodded.
"This old servant is powerless against your majesty's orders." The eunuch laughed. Since then, Dong Zhu had never returned to Xi Jiu Er's side.
Xi Jiu Er felt helpless, from the looks of it, Feng Qing Cheng was obviously going to imprison him. Looking at the house's bright and dazzling jewels, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, "This Zhuge Feng Qing Cheng is delusional enough to use such a low level method to imprison me, a mere imperial concubine wants me to obediently wait here and give birth to your child.
Xi Jiu Er looked around, and with an exquisite layout, she could see the meticulous efforts of the people who had arranged this room. Xi Jiu Er stood up and moved closer to the window, where a bunch of's flowers were placed in a blue and white porcelain bottle, and a bunch of petals that were as red as flames bloomed, but also some flower buds that had yet to awaken. A few of them were still blooming, and the few that were stained with crystal clear dew slowly slid down, revealing the bashfulness of the flowers.
The Gardenia jasminoides was Feng Qing Cheng's favorite flower. Actually, Xi Jiu Er felt that it was weird that a man with an unpredictable personality like hers, who seemed like he ate nothing, would actually like such a passionate flower like the Gardenia jasminoides. When she accidentally found out about Feng Qing Cheng's special hobby, she was really shocked, and for a moment, she felt that this man was actually very sultry and coquettish.
As Xi Jiu Er suddenly thought of this, the icy cold smile on the corner of her mouth gradually warmed up. This unexpected warmth caught Xi Jiu Er off guard, and it took a long time before she managed to erase this warmth.
In the empty room, the room was decorated with brocade and silk. The desolate room looked luxurious and expensive, and valuable treasures and antiques were placed on the shelves in the corner of the room.
Xi Jiu Er looked around, and when she felt that the arrangement of the room looked extremely familiar, she turned her head and thought for a bit. Only then did she realise that it was actually exactly the same as the arrangement in his room when she was at home.
"Humph!" Was he planning to attack? Feng Qing Cheng, you have underestimated me. " Xi Jiu Er watched on coldly from the sidelines, and treated these meticulous and nimble arrangements as Feng Qing Cheng's small tricks. Naturally, it made him feel even more rebellious and disgusted.
After looking around for a while, Xi Jiu Er started to feel sleepy, and the hand that was supporting her lower abdomen felt a little weak. She had no choice but to put aside the idea of escaping, and took off the quilt Clouddamask Hibiscus sachet.
On the other side of the imperial palace, Feng Qing Cheng was sitting upright on the dragon's table. There wasn't the slightest bit of disturbance between her brows, as though she was a calm and serene lake in the middle of spring.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Consort, as you have guessed, did not accept the decree, and she strongly requested that we meet Her Majesty!"
Feng Qing Cheng listened as his personal Chief Eunuch respectfully told him everything that had happened, without leaving a single detail out for him to hear.
"Oh? "She wants to see me?" Feng Qing Cheng's cold voice suffused with cold air, instantly lowering the temperature of the room from spring to winter. The old eunuch, who was waiting at the side for orders, couldn't help but shiver from the cold.
