The beauty he had been thinking about was in the western warm pavilion, but the emperor was still diligently reviewing memorials.

Su Peisheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart at his master's diligence and love for the people. He stayed by his side silently, occasionally adding tea and water.

The emperor, feeling humiliated, muttered to himself: Why didn't that dog slave Su Peisheng urge me to go to bed earlier today?

He could only yawn awkwardly while Su Peisheng was pouring tea.

Su Peisheng, who was not blind, naturally took this into consideration and gave extremely earnest advice.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to bed."

"Okay, let's put it there."

With the orderly service of the palace servants, the emperor quickly finished washing and walked towards the west warm pavilion with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

When Zhen Huan heard the greetings coming from the door, she couldn't help but clench her hands wrapped inside.

"Is Wan Changzai afraid?"

A smiling voice sounded in her ears, and Zhen Huan blushed and looked at the person who came several times.

"Your Majesty, you are tall and mighty, and I am deeply impressed by your grace and grace."

Zhen Huan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, with a sense of pride rising from her.

The face of an old friend flashed before the emperor's eyes. Her Rouze was also so intelligent.

"It's getting late, let's get settled."

The overlapping figures in the curtain rose and fell, mixed with the man's muffled groans and the woman's suppressed moans.

The candles in the west warm room continued to burn until dawn, and water was called for five times during the process.

When the emperor stood up with a satisfied look on his face, Zhen Huan was still sleeping. He looked at her sleeping face gently for a long time.

"Su Peisheng, tell the Queen to excuse Consort Wan from paying her respects."

"The slave obeys the order."

The clever little Xia Zi took on the task of delivering the message to Jingren Palace, and also instructed another honest young eunuch to go to the door of the west warm pavilion and carry out the emperor's orders.

Not to mention the reaction from Jingren Palace, Cui Jinxi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan when she saw that she couldn't enter the warm room to wake up her master.

Huanbi couldn't stand the people walking back and forth in the small room, and asked in confusion.

"Aunt, the Emperor has personally instructed that the young lady be excused from paying her respects. Why did you insist on asking her to stand up?"

The West Warm Pavilion has carved beams and painted buildings, and there are floor heating at night. My eldest sister must be very comfortable sleeping here.

I don’t know if she will be able to live in such a big house in the future.

"Huanbi, this is the palace rule."

Cui Jinxi walked out with her purse.

"Sir, please be flexible. Our young master has the habit of drinking water in the morning, so I have to go in and serve him."

As she spoke, she used her body to cover the young eunuch's hand and stuffed the purse into his hand without making a sound.

"Aunt, the emperor has ordered that no one should disturb..."

"Xiao Dongzi, let them in."

Xiao Xiazi took Cui Jinxi's purse with a smile and said a few auspicious words.

When he personally went to Jingren Palace to deliver the message, the concubines from various palaces had already appeared on the long street. On his way back, he even saw Concubine Hua's sedan chair from a distance.

What would happen to Wan Changzai, who was late in paying her respects? This was not something that a eunuch like him, who served in the Yangxin Palace, needed to worry about.

When Zhen Huan opened her eyes exhausted and saw the bright yellow curtains, she remembered the chaos of last night.

Zhen Huan, who was experiencing sex for the first time, was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into the quilt and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Aunt, what time is it?"

"My lord, it is already past three quarters past the hour of Mao."

When Zhen Huan heard Cui Jinxi's deliberately loud voice, her sleepiness disappeared.

"Aunt, please help me wash up."

While the young lady was washing up, Cui Jinxi repeated the emperor's instructions before going to court in detail.

"My lady, according to the rules, newcomers to the harem must pay their respects to the Empress before entering the bedchamber."

"Okay, then let's go there as soon as possible."

The queen is kind, but Concubine Hua in the harem is not a good person.

At this time, Jingren Palace was already full of people.

An Lingrong, who had resumed her greetings, carefully observed the concubines in the palace whom she had not seen for a long time. Even Shen Meiyu, there were dark circles under their eyes.

Fortunately, she was smart and asked Baoli to apply the same light blue-black color on herself.

An Lingrong wanted to blend in quietly, but Concubine Qi, who had the Third Prince, didn't want to let her go.

"I haven't seen Yupin for a while. Why do I think you look thinner? When I was pregnant with the Third Prince, I could eat a lot."

"Only when the mother takes good care of the baby can the baby grow up well."

An Lingrong, who ate two bowls of rice at a meal, subconsciously touched her cheeks. They were still the same thickness, and she definitely hadn't lost weight.

Since someone gave her advice out of kindness, An Lingrong would naturally greet it with a smile.

"Thank you for your guidance, Concubine Qi. I will keep it in mind."

However, she still had to ask Wei Lin for advice in private, as she didn't believe that Concubine Qi had such good intentions.

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Concubine Qi smiled and told An Lingrong some health-preserving food recipes.

There are all kinds of meat such as beef, mutton and pork, but there is no mention of vegetables and fruits at all.

Concubine Qi spoke in a loud voice, and Noble Lady Fucha, who had not yet slept with her, kept her words firmly in mind.

She had heard people say that the Third Prince was very strong, and this was the reason.

Since Baojuan passed away, the Queen sent a lot of things to Yonghe Palace in the name of the Imperial Household Department, and more than half of them were specially taken care of.

But until An Lingrong came out to pay her respects, there was no news that she was pregnant.

When Concubine Qi opened her mouth, the Queen had already reached the door. She stopped there, waiting for this idiot to finish speaking before appearing in front of everyone.

"Princess Yu, didn't the Emperor ask you to rest until the baby is fully grown? Why are you here to pay your respects so early?"

"Thanks to the grace of the Emperor and the Empress, I have recuperated well. The child is no longer making a fuss, so I came out to meet my sisters."

The emperor personally asked Wei Lin to take care of the dragon fetus, so he would record every time he took the pulse.

Wei Lin privately reported that Zhang Mi, the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, had reviewed the pulse cases of Yonghe Palace several times recently.

Zhang Mi knew that Jingren Palace also knew about her physical condition.

Now that Zhen Huan is in favor, she must take the opportunity to show up.

The harem has always been a place where you only see new people laughing and old people crying.

After the Queen expressed her concern for An Lingrong for a few words, she smiled and said.

"The imperial decree just came from the Yangxin Palace. The Emperor has exempted Concubine Wan from paying her respects. Sisters..."

Before she could utter the three words "Go back first", Zhen Huan, supported by someone, appeared at the door.

She quickly glanced at everyone in the room, her heart skipped a beat, and she bowed respectfully.

"Concubine, please give your regards to the Queen."

"No need to be polite, my dear Wan. Please take a seat quickly."

Zhen Huan, whose legs were weak, showed a grateful look to the person above her.

But before she even reached the stool, she heard a questioning voice.

"Noble Lady Wan, you are so brave. A mere noble lady, yet you arrived later than the Empress."

Concubine Hua rubbed her hands and scolded coldly.

"Where do you place the palace rules?"

She still remembered the last time she picked a fight with An Lingrong about being late, so this time she cleverly changed her words to make things difficult for her.

Hua Fei's heart was completely tied to the emperor, and she keenly felt that the emperor seemed to be getting further and further away from her.
