[The Emperor's job shouldn't be any worse than those male favorites.]

【My parents are still waiting to hold their grandchildren.】

If I don't sleep with the Emperor, it would seem like my entry into the palace wasted.

Gu Jianchu kept persuading himself, but because of nervousness, his fingers under his sleeves were still clenched into fists.

Xie Ci’an:…

He was once again amused by Gu Jianchu's inner thoughts.

What is the queen thinking about every day? She actually compares him with those male favorites.

Seeing Xie Ci'an's expectant look, Gu Jianchu nodded with a flushed face.

Xie Ci'an raised his hand and pushed away the small table blocking the side, then hugged Gu Jianchu in his arms, and then kissed her eyebrows, lips, and collarbone.

The tent in the spring room was warm, the red candles were burning, and ambiguous sounds were heard from the room from time to time, making the palace ladies under the corridor blush. After all, they were old people in the palace. Cheng Song took the palace ladies who were serving outside to the tea room to stand guard at night, waiting for their masters to call for service.

That night, Gu Jianchu didn't know how many times she was tossed around. She was so tired that she didn't even want to move her hair. Her thighs were rubbed so painfully that she was drowsy after it was over. She didn't even know that the emperor had come to court.

Sleeping with the emperor is not a good thing. I don’t know what those women are fighting for.

After being tortured to this point, Gu Jianchu regretted agreeing to the emperor. Not only did he not gain any advantage, but he also suffered a great loss.

Gu Jianchu was awakened by Zhu Xia, "Your Majesty, the concubines from all the palaces are waiting outside the palace to pay their respects."

Hearing this, Gu Jianchu irritably pulled the quilt over his head and covered himself in it. "Let them all go back and tell them that I'm not feeling well."

Zhu Xia did not leave immediately, but whispered, "Your Majesty, the people from the Imperial Household Department have also come. They said they have prepared a menu and program for the New Year banquet for the court officials and their wives, and would like to show you."

"Leave it there. Wait until I wake up to look at it." Gu Jianchu didn't even want to lift his eyelids.

Even though she was extremely sleepy, she couldn't stop wanting to eat melon.

The Empress Dowager spent the entire night tormented by the secret medicine, undergoing acupuncture and cold showers. The effects of the drug finally wore off, but upon realizing what was happening, she immediately summoned the Imperial Concubine to the Cining Palace to question her. Upon learning the truth, she scolded the Imperial Concubine for being so stupid as to fail to even handle such a simple task.

After all, she was still her mother's niece, and since the Imperial Concubine was still somewhat useful, the Empress Dowager didn't punish her too harshly. She could only swallow this bitter pill.

The aunt and niece deserve it for what they have done.

After eating the melon, Gu Jianchu continued to rest.

At the same time, in Chuigong Hall, Cheng Song brought in a bowl of ginseng tea. Seeing Xie Ci'an still processing memorials, he whispered, "Is the Emperor going to send pregnancy-enhancing medicine to the Empress?"

If the palace did not want the concubines to get pregnant, they would send them contraceptive medicine in the name of pregnancy medicine to prevent pregnancy.

The reason why Gu Jianchu was able to enter the palace was because the emperor was afraid of the military power in Liaodong held by Nanping Hou and wanted to use Gu Jianchu to hold Nanping Hou hostage.

Although His Majesty dotes on the Queen, Cheng Song is not sure whether the Queen can give birth to a child.

Upon hearing this, Xie Ci'an paused holding the pen.

Over the past year, Nanping Hou and his son have been extremely loyal to him, even better than those who appear loyal but harbor ulterior motives.

Xie Ci'an said coldly, "No need. The harem also needs a child to silence the gossips of the previous dynasty."

"Also, go to my storehouse and pick out some gifts for the Queen." After saying this, Xie Ci'an continued to deal with the memorials at hand.

Cheng Song left the hall on his own accord.

Now the Queen is indeed different.

In the afternoon, Cheng Song brought a gift on behalf of the emperor. Gu Jianchu thought that the emperor would not come in the evening, so he had dinner early and asked Zhu Xia and others to prepare hot water.

She had a day off today, but she couldn't get enough rest.

After she finished her comfortable hot bath and came out wrapped in thin clothes, she saw Xie Ci'an lazily lying on the soft couch, flipping through a notebook she was reading casually in her hand.

He was dressed in a dark robe, which reduced his imperial aura. In the dim light, he looked particularly handsome.

Gu Jianchu reacted and casually took the cloak hanging beside her and wrapped it around herself. "Why didn't you let Eunuch Cheng know that the emperor was coming? I could have been prepared."

Xie Ci'an's bony hand suddenly stretched out in front of Gu Jianchu.

Gu Jianchu casually placed his slender fingers on his large palm with slightly calloused skin. Xie Ci'an gently pulled him, and the unsuspecting Gu Jianchu fell towards Xie Ci'an.

She threw herself into Xie Ci'an's arms and was held tightly in his arms.

He leaned over to her ear and whispered, "What preparations does the Queen want."

Gu Jianchu's face instantly became hot, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "I should also tidy up and be ready to receive the emperor, so that I don't have to meet him like this."

"The Queen looks so beautiful like this." Xie Ci'an lifted Gu Jianchu's chin and lowered his head to kiss her rosy lips.

Having just taken a shower, Gu Jianchu had an especially strong scent of jasmine on his body, which made him feel refreshed every time he smelled it.

Perhaps because she had tasted meat before, she couldn't help but feel a little more restless when she smelled this scent today. He lifted the cloak wrapped around her with his fingers and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so cautious. I have seen all kinds of queens before."

Knowing what the dog emperor wanted to do, Gu Jianchu quickly grabbed Xie Ci'an's hand and lowered her voice to a very low level with a hint of shyness, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't be possible tonight. I haven't rested yet. Your Majesty, perhaps you can go to the other sisters' palaces, such as Consort Wen and the Imperial Concubine."

"Everyone was hoping that I would go to their palace, but the Queen was so magnanimous as to push me away."

[How can I not be generous? If I don't, I'm going to die. Who knows that the emperor is just like the donkey in the production team, he has no idea how many times he can have sex in one night. If you don't know, you would think he is in need of women.]

[There are thousands of women in the harem, you can't just let me be the one to be cheated.]

[I am willing to share this kind of rain and dew with everyone. ]

Xie Ci'an was not annoyed by Gu Jianchu's rejection. Instead, he lifted her clothes to take a look.

Gu Jianchu's skin was fair and extremely delicate, and there were still some purple marks on his body.

He did go a little too far last night.

No wonder the Queen was so resistant.

Xie Ci'an hugged Gu Jianchu and coaxed him, "It's my fault."

[Is it my ears that are wrong? The Emperor actually apologizes on his own initiative.]

Gu Jianchu pretended to blame herself, "It's not the emperor's fault. It's all because I'm too weak."

"I will definitely take good care of myself in the future and will not hold the emperor back."

"Let's go to bed early tonight." Xie Ci'an picked up the person in his arms, strode to the bed, and placed the person on the bed gently.
