In the end, the emperor was relieved because the empress had begged him for mercy. He loved the empress and didn't want to give her face in front of outsiders.
However, his heart was not at ease. A prince who had already established his family had suddenly decided to return to the palace. It was a taboo to say so.
The empress could see that he was unhappy, so she tugged at his sleeve and said softly, "What is the emperor worried about? Don't you know how Third Brother is like? How can we part between the young couple who are like honey and oil? A person as calm and steady as Third Brother caused a ruckus at the Bi Fu Palace yesterday, who in the Zun Palace doesn't know that the Princess Chu is the precious treasure of the Prince Chu, let's understand each other better. "
The emperor frowned his eyebrows, "Back then, Huangfu Zhuer's matter had dealt him a huge blow, I have always been worried for him. Now that she has a woman she likes, I am truly happy for him from the bottom of my heart, but how much has he done for the Princess Chu, even if he doesn't move, it would still be fine, but for the sake of the Princess Chu, how many outrageous things have he done? She brought hundreds of her personal guards to market, to demonstrate at the Prime Minister Bai's Mansion, on the middle of the autumn night, to beat up little Royal Uncle. Now that you're even more outrageous and want to return to the palace to stay, don't tell me you're not putting this Royal Brother in your eyes? "
The empress gave the emperor a strange look. "Why would the emperor think that?" Chenqie believed that Third Brother didn't have the slightest bit of disrespect for the Emperor. After so many years, Third Brother was diligently and meticulously assisting the Emperor. The Emperor should know this from the bottom of his heart! Other people might not dare to say anything to their concubines, but as for Third Brother's character, this concubine trusts you. "
"Which court didn't open their mansion, so the prince came back to live in the palace. It's not like he didn't know that this was a taboo offense."
"It's precisely because he knows that that's why third brother came to ask for the emperor's help. He believes that the emperor can understand. If we bring this matter up on the surface, it even more clearly shows that he doesn't have any guilt in his heart!" The empress paused for a moment before continuing, "Your Majesty, if it wasn't for third brother killing the rebel soldiers that surrounded the city, you …"
"Enough!" The emperor suddenly shouted in a low voice, "Don't say anymore. I know what I'm doing."
The empress stared at him blankly. She and the emperor were a young couple, and they had a good relationship. Even if they entered the palace, the imperial harem would be filled with women, and the emperor would always be in love with her.
When the emperor saw the empress's pale face, he realized that he had gone too far. He quickly embraced her and comforted her softly, "I'm sorry, I scared you, right? Don't blame me for that, I was in a rush too and couldn't hold it in for a while. When Xiu Min was here previously, speaking of the Lateral Princess, Third Brother did not give him any face.
The empress leaned into the emperor's embrace. "Why would chenqie blame the emperor? His Majesty has so many affairs to attend to every day, and yet he still has to worry about such trivial matters. It's only right that he be angry, it's chenqie's fault.
"Your health is not good, so don't worry about it," the Emperor sighed. "It's someone else's matter after all, just let him be."
Copying scriptures was not only a matter of physical and mental cultivation, but it was also a matter of effort. Lifting one's arm and putting down a brush, all of this required great effort.
Bai Qianfan normally had endless energy, but she was no longer able to use it here, because she was always hungry, and had not eaten her fill since last night. All she ate in the buddhist hall were vegetables, and even more importantly, she did not allow anyone to eat too much, because the rules were right next to the rules. That's how those ladies who eat cat food came out?
Her head was spinning, her eyes were shooting stars, her arms had been beaten yesterday, and now she couldn't even lift them up, it was so painful, but Kong Mama was just standing there like a Buddha, staring at her with his eyes fixed on her, his back was straight, his head was straight, and his eyes were focused, otherwise the ruler would fall down, making a crisp sound.
When she was about to copy the leaf, the Grand Consort Rui showed her gratitude. This was the first time she copied the leaf scripture, so when they reached the sea, he sent the Nanny Rong to call her.
Not only was she exhausted, she was also drenched in sweat. When she came out from the house, the Nanny Rong sent Liu Ye to wait for her to take a bath.
When the Grand Consort Rui heard that he was going to stay in the palace, she was initially a bit worried. Although the Grand Consort could leave the palace to live with his son, there was no reason for the prince who had already built a mansion to return to the palace. After hearing that the emperor had agreed to it, he calmed down and ordered Huang Youdao to clean up the house.
Morong Gan said there was no need to trouble yourself, he can just live in the right side hall.
Grand Consort Rui said that would be fine, but she called Morong Gan into her room to talk. Because the day after tomorrow was her birthday, she wanted to ask Morong Gan for his meaning by saying that her sons and wives were all there.
When Grand Consort Rui was young, she was busy trying to get a favor from his son, not really paying attention to his own son. When he was old, he would ask his son about everything.
He patiently discussed things with her and settled everything in detail. He discussed the various dishes to be used at the banquet, what kind of gifts to be given to the juniors, whether to invite the troupe, light some scenes, how many red packets to be sealed, how to release the fireworks … And so on.
To Morong Gan, this evening, he talked more with the Grand Consort Rui than he did over the past twenty years. These complicated little matters made the relationship between him and his mother much closer.
Until deep into the night, when Grand Consort Rui was tired, he finally left and returned to the right side hall to rest.
There was no land dragon burning in the palace, but after setting up the fire basin, he did not feel cold. Upon entering, he saw a Palace Maid squatting in a brazier adding silver, this was a top-grade charcoal used in the palace, there was not even a bit of smoke, when it was burned it had a faint fragrance, silver was scarce, not that anyone could use it in the imperial harem, but here, Grand Consort Rui was never lacking.
The late Empress and the Emperor's birth mother had both died early. There was no empress dowager in the palace, so the position of the Grand Consort Rui in the imperial harem was pretty good.
The palace was very quiet, the curtains beside the bed were draped silently down, Morong Gan, who was afraid of disturbing Bai Qianfan, lowered his voice and asked, "Are you asleep?"
The Palace Maid nodded her head, "Yes, Your Highness.
Morong Gan followed her to the cubicle and washed his face and feet. Seeing the snow white paste on the table, he took the chance to wipe some of it on his face and neck, while Hymen opened his eyes wide with a strange expression on his face. It was not strange for Master Prince Jin to use the snow white paste, but it would be unbelievable if it was him.
Morong Gan's face was calm, he glanced at Hymen, and successfully gave her a glance. He was a martial general that traveled in the wind and rain, not caring about his face at all. However, with his lovely wife's tender skin and tender flesh, it was hard for them to not be intimate. He was afraid that his face would be too rough, and it wouldn't be good if he rubbed against her.
