Poor little thing, he is sweet and soft after wearing it

Tian Jiao relaxed and discovered the difference in the emperor's bedroom.

All you see is bright red, exactly the same as the bridal chamber in a normal wedding.

There were also two dragon and phoenix candles lit.

These are all things that are against the rules and regulations and actually appeared in the emperor's bedroom. This can only mean that all of this was ordered by the emperor.

In Tian Jiao's heart, he understood the emperor's intentions a little better, and at the same time, he became more confident in controlling the emperor's heart.

As long as the emperor has his heart in his hands, his life in the palace will be easier in the future.

He and Tian Yanran were the first group to enter the palace. After them, there were the second and third groups. Their positions were different and they entered the palace at different times.

This time, His Majesty the Emperor selected a total of fifteen people to enter the palace.

The ones with the highest positions among them are him and Tian Yanran.

The rest either stayed or agreed.

The regulations for the emperor's harem were one empress, one imperial concubine (there was no imperial concubine below the empress), and two concubines.

Below the Imperial Concubine, there are nine concubines who can be conferred titles. Among them, the four virtuous and kind concubines are first-class concubines, and the remaining five concubines can be conferred titles depending on the emperor's mood and may or may not be conferred titles.

Below the nine concubines were twelve concubines, including two top concubines, four middle concubines, and six bottom concubines.

After the twelve concubines, there were eighteen noble ladies/noble ladies.

After the noble lady/noble master, there is the concubine, and the number of promises is not counted.

The maids who served as maids were the lowest in rank.

Only when one is promoted to the position of a noble lady/lord can one be considered a proper master and be called "little master" by the servants in the palace.

Only when you are promoted to the rank of concubine can you have the opportunity to become the mistress of a palace. When you meet someone of higher rank than you, you can call yourself a concubine, otherwise you have to call yourself a slave.

Only the Empress/Queen is the rightful master of the harem and shares the world with His Majesty the Emperor.

Only the Empress/Queen is qualified to share the wedding night with His Majesty the Emperor.

The rest of the concubines only served in the emperor's bedchamber.

Compared with His Majesty the Emperor, Tian Jiao is also a servant of high rank.

But the emperor ordered his people to change his bedroom to look like a bridal chamber, with twin dragon and phoenix candles, which were only available at the wedding of the emperor and empress.

His Majesty the Emperor lit it so carelessly, without hiding his thoughts at all.

His Majesty the Emperor was eager to go to the wedding night right away, but he was an emperor who wanted to be a wise ruler. Although he felt he had given up, he still held back and reviewed memorials and handled state affairs in the imperial study.

He endured until dark and finally stopped working hard. He quickly asked his personal eunuch to help him bathe and change clothes.

While taking a shower and changing clothes, he did not forget to check whether Tian Jiao had eaten.

"Your Majesty, according to the rules, Mr. Tian cannot eat, lest at that time..."

"What a broken rule! Hurry up and give orders to have some digestible food prepared for Tian Jiao to eat."

His Majesty the Emperor was so distressed. The wedding night consumes a lot of physical energy. If they were not allowed to eat enough, how could they survive?

Isn't it him who is suffering when people are hungry and hungry?

Tian Jiao was really hungry. Ever since the Emperor asked him to sleep with him, he had been bathing and changing clothes according to the procedures. He was busy all the time. During this time, he only drank two cups of tea and just rinsed his mouth.

For fear that eating would give the emperor a bad experience, concubines in all dynasties who slept with him almost always went to bed hungry.

The same was true for Tian Jiao. Otherwise, if he was well-fed and made indecent gestures in front of the Emperor, he would be banished to the cold palace.

Tian Jiao has always had a regular diet, and now that he is hungry, he can only bear it.

But he didn't endure it for long, as eunuchs and palace maids brought meals over. Leading the way was none other than Nanny Qiu Shui.

"Mammy..." Tian Jiao looked at the table full of soups and delicious food, but he didn't dare to pick up his chopsticks.

Guan Qiushui knew that Tian Jiao was worried, so he quickly comforted him, "My lady, you can pick whatever you like. His Majesty loves you and is afraid that you will be hungry, so he specially ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare it."

"Don't worry, my lady, they are all light in taste and will not affect your sleeping arrangements."

"I have some fragrant water for rinsing your mouth, to ensure that you will be safe in bed with me."

Nanny Qiushui said so, so Tian Jiao naturally couldn't let the emperor down. Besides, his body was pampered, and he felt really uncomfortable after being hungry for such a long time.

If I really go to the emperor's bedchamber in this state, I'm afraid I won't be able to give his Majesty the Emperor a very good experience.

He had also studied medicine, so he naturally knew that there would be no worries after eating the food on the table in front of him, so he no longer hesitated and ate it with relish.

He always eats only until he is 60% full for dinner, never overeating, and puts down his chopsticks when he has reached his portion.

When Nanny Qiushui saw that he was full, she hurriedly offered him some fragrant soup for him to rinse his mouth.

Tian Jiao tried it and found that after rinsing his mouth with the fragrant soup, the taste of food in his mouth disappeared, leaving only a faint fragrance.

He was delighted, and if he hadn't had to sleep with the emperor, he would have asked Nanny Qiushui to teach him how to make the fragrant soup.

Nanny Qiushui saw his joy and without him asking for anything, she said that she would make the fragrant soup with him when he was free.

Now that Tian Jiao was full and had the energy to wait for others, he also realized how thoughtful the Emperor was.

He felt that based on the emperor's love for him, he should be 70% sure of controlling the emperor, if not 100% sure.

He just didn't know whether all these thoughtfulness were only for him, or whether the Emperor treated all the concubines equally.

This will be left for later review.

Nanny Qiu Shui gave some instructions to the others and the room became quiet again. No one knew where she learned this, but she conjured up a red veil like a magician. It was embroidered with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and it was very delicate. She gently put it on Tian Jiao's head.

Tian Jiao wanted to hide because he couldn't wear the auspicious veil with dragon and phoenix, but was stopped by Aunt Qiu Shui:

"My lady, please don't panic. This is all ordered by His Majesty. Just follow His Majesty's orders."

Tian Jiao's eyes were red and his heart was pounding. Ever since he decided to enter the palace for the selection, he had never thought about the phoenix crown and bridal robe.

Entering the palace to become the emperor's servant, he would never have the chance to wear the phoenix coronet and bridal robe in this life. Even if he fought his way out from among the concubines and put on the phoenix coronet and bridal robe in the future, he would not feel the same way.

He naturally felt regretful, as a young man he naturally wanted to be married in a formal way.

He had also read storybooks, and every time he read the part about a couple for a lifetime, he would fall into it even though he knew it was just a fantasy.

But his pregnancy mole was light, so from the beginning he didn't have the capital to be with someone for life.

He put down those unrealistic notebooks, and the fantasies in his heart were shattered.

Since he was eight years old, he stopped reading those unrealistic bookstores. He listened to his mother and only wanted to hold on to power and money.

He entered the palace only wanting to sit on the throne, and he had no extra thoughts about being the emperor.

But the emperor's behavior still made him feel sour and bitter.
