The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Of course it’s better to hug. If you kiss, will you still be able to think?

Shen Jingli rested his head on Qin Yejue's hard and cold chest, and his mind calmed down a lot.

He tried hard to recall how to cultivate the Red Marrow Fruit, fearing that he had remembered the steps incorrectly or missed something crucial.

……

That's right, the Paulownia tree needs very strong light and heat, and strong flowers and plants must be planted around this flower. So she chose to plant sunflowers around the Paulownia tree.

This grass can store a large amount of heat from sunlight and can provide heat to the tung flowers at night.

Shen Jingli murmured, "It shouldn't be like this. Every step is correct."

"Since you are so sure, then... you can try to find clues on the grass around you."

Shen Jingli blinked her eyes. She focused all her attention on Wen Tonghua and didn't pay much attention to Yang Yingcao.

Qin Yejue picked the person up and carried him to Qianzhong Garden, where he picked up the broken branches and rolled over the dried Yangying grass.

"Is it normal to be so shrunken?"

"When it dries up, it will naturally shrivel up."

"These grasses wither earlier than the tung flowers."

Shen Jingli picked up the tung tree and found that its leaves had not yet turned yellow, while the tung tree was already lifeless.

……

They're like... squeezed dry...

Following his thoughts, Shen Jingli pondered: "Could it be that... the red marrow fruit gradually matures, and the heat required is increasing. The daily heat stored by the surrounding Yangying grass is not enough to support the needs of the Wentong flower to breed the red marrow fruit, so... the Yangying grass and Wentong flower are withering."

Qin Yejue nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with this view, "That may be the case. They do look like they have been squeezed dry."

"That is to say... the Yangying grass withered because its nutrients were completely sucked out, and the Wentong flower withered because of insufficient heat supply."

At present, this possibility is very high. What she read in the books is that strong flowers and plants must be planted around the tung flowers to provide heat for the tung flowers at night until the tung flowers bear fruit.

She thought... as long as she planted Yangying grass, she would have no worries...

It seems that she got the direction wrong.

The bigger the tung tree grows, the more calories it needs, so she should focus on the tung tree rather than the tung tree.

Thinking in this way, it is wrong to water all the nutrient solution to the Tung tree. The Yangyingcao is the key.

As long as the Yangying grass can provide enough heat to the Wentong flowers, the production of red marrow fruit will be a natural thing.

Suddenly, Shen Jingli's confusion disappeared, and he stood up and said, "I have an idea. I need to plant the Yangying grass again."

Seeing that Shen Jingli was full of energy at this time, Qin Yejue directly hugged him in his arms.

Shen Jingli: "I will also make more nutrient solution for the Yangying grass so that the tung flowers can bear fruit sooner."

"it is good."

Shen Jingli said dissatisfiedly: "Then let go quickly, how can you hold me?"

He worked so hard, all for himself, Qin Yejue subconsciously hugged him tighter, "No hurry, come back to Longxiao Palace with me first."

"Of course you're in a hurry. Don't you want the red marrow fruit? Give me another Paulownia flower as soon as possible..."

"I've given you the letter. Don't come to see me again tonight..."

Qin Yejue: "Why?"

"Busy...very busy..."

"Busy detoxifying you..."

Qin Yejue felt the person in his arms struggling and loosened his grip slightly.

How come after being away for five days, he doesn't want to have any more contact with me at all.

Shen Jingli took the opportunity to push Qin Yejue away and ran away happily, "It's useless to hug me. After you eat the red marrow fruit, you won't be so cold anymore."

Seeing Shen Jingli running away in such a hurry, Qin Yejue did not stay long. He took the letter and left Qianzhong Garden.

……

Shen Jingli moved a small wooden stool from the small kitchen, placed it in Qianzhong Garden, and started to tidy up again. He did not return to his bedroom to rest until the evening.

These two days...

Shen Jingli was full of energy early in the morning and got up on his own without even being called by Nanny Qiu.

"Mammy, good morning!" Shen Jingli was dressed neatly and waved to Mammy Qiu.

"Your Majesty? What's wrong with you?" After saying that, he reached out and touched Shen Jingli's forehead. He didn't have a fever.

Why has it been so abnormal these past two days, getting up so early!

"A day's plan begins in the morning. I am the emperor, so I cannot sleep in all day."

Aunt Qiu nodded in approval: "Your Majesty... it's great that you have this kind of awareness!"

"It's still early. I'm going outside to get some fresh air."

Shen Jingli came to Qianzhong Garden. She got up early these two days mainly to check on the condition of the Yangying grass. After all, it was just planted, so she naturally paid more attention to it.

After watering the Yangyingcao with nutrient solution, he went to court happily.

There was nothing to do today, so the court session ended quickly. After returning to the palace, I changed into casual clothes and prepared to leave.

"Your Majesty? Where are you going?" Song Zhu pulled Shen Jingli.

"Leave the palace, together?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, you are out of the palace... What about that person?"

Why does the emperor always fail at critical moments? Today is the day when Imperial Concubine Shu enters the palace.

They are probably all in the Yanx Palace now. It would be embarrassing if the emperor was not here on the wedding day.

"Who is it?" Shen Jingli didn't remember it was Huo Shurou for a moment.

"Huo Shurou, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, is staying at the Yanxi Palace today. Your Majesty, she is the only concubine in your harem. How could you make such a mistake?"

What a bad memory this emperor has! He completely forgot about her right after he made her a concubine.

Shen Jingli suddenly raised his voice: "Three thousand taels entered the palace today?"

She indeed forgot the name of this new concubine, she only knew that she was the daughter of the Grand Tutor and that she was married to her for three thousand taels.

"That's the Imperial Concubine Shu you personally appointed. What do you mean by three thousand taels? Speak more politely."

Aunt Qiu came out with a wedding dress and said, "Your Majesty, please excuse the formalities. Just put on your wedding dress and go to consummate the marriage."

"I have something to say to you later."

Looking at the bright red wedding dress embroidered with dragon patterns, Shen Jingli was stunned.

How to consummate the marriage?

"…Can I not go?"

Nanny Qiu was carefully checking the wedding dress, "Your Majesty, please don't mess around."

"Songzhu, go to Yanxi Palace and tell the emperor to stay in Yanxi Palace tonight."

Song Zhu nodded and left. Shen Jingli made sure that no one was around and asked anxiously, "Mammy, how can I consummate my marriage?"

Nanny Qiu handed a small porcelain bottle to Shen Jingli, "Your Majesty, please be smart tonight and add it to the wedding wine. The imperial concubine will fall into a coma after drinking it. I will bring hot water later and put the bloody handkerchief under the imperial concubine. This way, everything will be safe."

"……it is good."

At night…

Shen Jingli came to the Yanxi Palace and saw Huo Shurou also wearing a red robe. She placed her hands on her legs, sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, waiting for her veil to be lifted.

Shen Jingli mustered up his courage and gently lifted up the mandarin duck veil...

Oh my god...

She is indeed the most beautiful woman in Beijing...

Her skin is whiter than snow, her eyebrows are curved like willows, and her red lips are smiling, just like a lotus in clear water.

Huo Shurou raised her head slightly, her expression gentle: "Your Majesty..."

The bedchamber maid had already taught her how to sleep with her husband and how to please him.

Shen Jingli rubbed his hands nervously, not knowing how to start the conversation.

"Your Highness is wearing so little, are you cold?"

Huo Shurou blushed. The bright red wedding dress was almost transparent. She was very reluctant at first, but the maid said that it was the emperor's first time and she wanted to give his eyes an unprecedented stimulation.
