Chapter 16 That Imperial Aunt, Shall we go to bed?

Although Ji Boxi did not regret it, Cheng Huan felt sorry for him.

However, seeing that Ji Boxi seemed unwilling to say more and changed the subject, she said nothing more.

After having breakfast, Ji Boxi went to the yamen (government office).

After dealing with a few things, everything was fine.

After Ji Boxi arrived, Tonghe County developed and improved day by day.

At first, Ji Boxi devoted himself to governing Tonghe County, but now he rarely has to worry about it.

Moreover, the people of Tonghe County are now living in harmony and prosperity.

But only Ji Boxi knew that this was only Tonghe County.

He knew that Daqing was now beset by internal and external troubles, especially the powerful external enemies who had been eager to take action against Daqing.

He possessed great martial arts skills and lofty ambitions, yet he was unable to put them into practice.

How can this not be considered a regret?

How wonderful it would be if one day I could find a wise ruler.

Just then, the clerk rushed in.

"My lord, a general amnesty has been granted, and a special imperial examination has been held!" The clerk's face was full of excitement.

Ji Boxi raised an eyebrow. "Oh, a general amnesty? What's the reason?"

"Princess Fuqing has awakened!"

Ji Boxi was stunned for a moment, not yet realizing who Princess Fuqing was!

But he only hesitated for a moment before realizing what was happening.

"Is it Princess Fuqing, who has been asleep for a hundred years, a lucky star sent from heaven to bring prosperity to Daqing, who has awakened?" Ji Boxi asked, grabbing the clerk's shoulder.

"Exactly!"

Ji Boxi fell silent, but his heart was surging with emotion.

Even though Princess Fuqing's story dates back a hundred years, it is still a topic of great interest to people today.

Historical records document how prosperous and powerful Daqing was during Princess Fuqing's lifetime.

Every citizen of Daqing hopes that Princess Fuqing will awaken.

Now, a hundred years later, she has truly awakened!
Will she bring new life to Daqing, which is on the verge of decay?
Ji Boxi thought that perhaps he could wait and see!
-
Daqing Imperial Palace.

After leaving the Imperial Garden, Consort Shu immediately returned to the palace to prepare.

She took a bath, burned incense and prayed for blessings, and also instructed the eunuchs and palace maids that when the imperial aunt came tonight, they should pretend not to see her.

After all, the Imperial Aunt had said that it had to be done secretly, without letting anyone else know.

The eunuchs and palace maids immediately indicated that they understood.

"Your Majesty, shall we brew a bowl of medicine to help with conception?" Qinghua asked.

Consort Shu hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand, "With the good fortune of the Imperial Aunt, there's no need for any fertility-enhancing medicine."

"If fertility-enhancing medicine could make one pregnant, these palace maids and concubines would have been pregnant long ago."

Haven't the concubines in the palace drunk enough fertility-enhancing drugs over the years?
She hasn't conceived a dragon's child yet.

Therefore, Consort Shu felt that it wasn't that the concubines were unwell, nor was it that the Emperor was unwell, since His Majesty had already consulted the imperial physicians and said that there was nothing wrong with his health.

Of course, Consort Shu only knew that Her Majesty's health was fine.

Although His Majesty is now in his sixties, Consort Shu knows that his Majesty is still as vigorous and energetic as ever.

His Majesty is always worried about Daqing. His temples are graying and he looks old, but his "energy" is still very good.

His physical condition was no different from that of a robust man in his thirties.

So, both of them are healthy, they just lack that little bit of "good fortune".

Therefore, Consort Shu planned to borrow some good fortune from her imperial aunt before going to the Emperor's bedchamber.

I'm sure I'll get pregnant then!
Consort Shu was full of confidence.

After having dinner, Consort Shu began to wait for Princess Fuqing to arrive.

After waiting and waiting, finally, there was some movement outside...

Outside, it was indeed Sui Sui who had arrived. Sui Sui had come secretly, with Fu Rong following behind her.

As they approached the gate of Yikun Palace, Sui Sui turned to Fu Rong and said, "You should go back now. Sui Sui is going to sleep with Consort Shu."

Furong, who couldn't understand why Princess Fuqing was going out so late at night, suddenly realized.

So Princess Fuqing came to sleep with Consort Shu.

Were the princess and Consort Shu really that compatible?

We bumped into each other in the Imperial Garden today, and then slept together tonight?

However, since the princess had said so, she could not disobey.

She didn't go back, but she stopped and waited outside.

Meanwhile, the eunuchs and palace maids guarding the entrance to Yikun Palace had already received instructions from Consort Shu.

If Princess Fuqing comes, just pretend you didn't see her.

Why not pretend we didn't see it?
Seeing Princess Fuqing hiding behind a pillar and observing not far away, they immediately exchanged a glance.

"Oh dear, why are these flowers arranged like this?" Qinghua muttered to herself, then walked into the yard and began to fiddle with the camellia in the pot with her back to him.

"Ah, this floor doesn't look very clean. No, I'll sweep it again." The eunuch Xiao Xizi picked up the broom and started sweeping with his back to the ground.

"..."

The palace maids and eunuchs all found something to do.

So, Sui Sui found a good opportunity.

She crouched low, her short legs moving stealthily as she made her way to the gate of Yikun Palace.

The moonlight elongated her small body, casting her image on the ground.

Soon, Sui Sui arrived at the gate of Yikun Palace.

She was about to step inside when she got stuck. "Ah!"

The childish voice made the palace maids and eunuchs pause for a moment.

They appeared to be busy, but in reality, they were secretly observing Princess Fuqing's situation out of the corner of their eyes.

However, after a moment's pause, they immediately realized what they had heard and pretended not to hear.

Meanwhile, Sui Sui realized she had made a sound and quickly covered her mouth with both hands, leaving only her big eyes showing. She quickly looked at the palace maids and eunuchs, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that they hadn't noticed.

She patted her little chest and murmured, "Luckily, no one noticed."

Palace maid/eunuch: We didn't find anything, we absolutely didn't find anything!

Looking at the threshold that was half her height, Sui Sui felt that she should grow up quickly.

This way, you won't always be troubled by the threshold.

With her little hands holding the threshold, Sui Sui slowly moved and sat down.

He stepped one foot into the hall while cautiously observing the palace maids and eunuchs, afraid of being discovered.

Then he moved his other foot into the hall, and his whole body entered the hall.

Sui Sui breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the palace maids and eunuchs were still busy and had not noticed her.

She had to do all of this secretly.

Fortunately, Sui Sui was clever and was not discovered by the palace maids and eunuchs.

Then, Sui Sui entered the hall.

As soon as she entered the hall, she found that there was no one else inside.

Once inside, they saw Consort Shu dressed in her nightgown.

"Grandma..." Consort Shu was so happy to see Sui Sui that she immediately stood up.

"Hey, Consort Shu's niece-in-law, Sui Sui is here to go to bed. Sui Sui has already taken a bath."

"Alright, then, Your Highness, shall we go to bed?"

"Okay, let's get into bed!"

Meanwhile, Emperor Xuanhe, having finished reviewing the memorials, was just about to summon Consort Shu to his bedchamber...
