Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

"Your Majesty, you are finally willing to turn over the card. The ladies in the six palaces are all looking forward to seeing you."

Hongli knelt on the ground with a huge map in front of him, analyzing the recent situation with a focused expression.

Li Yu said with a hint of complaint, "Your Majesty, you have been preoccupied with the Jinchuan War lately."

Hongli ignored Li Yu and asked casually, "Xu An, I haven't been going out much lately."

"Your Majesty, you haven't been to Concubine Chun, Concubine Yu, Concubine Mei, and Concubine Ling very often."

Jinzhong wanted to lead the emperor to his master, Ling, but before he could say anything, Li Yu got there first.

"Your Majesty, you didn't even go to dine with the Imperial Concubine as you promised. The Imperial Concubine looked very depressed."

"How do you know the Imperial Concubine is looking downcast? Did you see it?"

Facing Hongli's fierce eyes, Li Yu was so scared that he didn't even dare to fart and closed his mouth tremblingly.

Jinzhong, who was holding a lantern to illuminate Hongli, sneered in his heart. He was happy to see Li Yu being humiliated.

"How is Lady Ling doing lately? I haven't heard anything from her."

Li Yu replied without much memory, "Your Majesty, this Concubine Ling spends all day either running to the Chuxiu Palace or to Concubine Mei and Concubine Wan's places."

Hongli frowned and said with a half-smile, "She seems to like running around all day. Her legs are really good. Is she the reincarnation of a horse? Everyone knows to come and ask about my well-being, but she is so happy.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"Forget it, let her be happy for a few more days, then just be Concubine Shu."

Perhaps Hongli still remembered that night when he was left behind by Wei Yanwan.

Fortunately, Jinzhong did not hear any blame in Hongli's tone, which was a good thing.

As the Jinchuan War was raging, Hongli planned to take all the concubines above the rank of concubine to the Zhai Palace to pray for blessings.

For considerations, Concubine Jia, who was about to give birth, could stay in the palace to wait for delivery.

After everything was arranged, Hongli got up from the ground.

Someone will collect the map on the ground.

Xu An retreated with the green card in his hand and quickly arranged for Shupin to come and sleep with him.

As luck would have it, Concubine Shu was busy playing mahjong in Chuxiu Palace. When she heard someone calling her to sleep with her, she looked reluctant.

"Don't go."

The young eunuch who delivered the message was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and his speech and movements changed.

"Madam Shupin, are you feeling unwell? If so, I will let you know."

"Yes, I am not feeling well. I am tired after playing cards all afternoon. Just tell the Emperor that."

Young eunuch: “…” You don’t have to be so direct.

In the past, Yihuan would rush to see the emperor, but now she just ignores him.

Hongli had already changed his clothes, but he still didn't see Yihuan. He was so angry that he asked the eunuch who answered him, "Where is she?"

"Reply, reply to the emperor, Concubine Shu said she is tired."

"Tired? What did she do? Playing cards again?"

The young eunuch replied tremblingly, "Yes."

"Playing cards! Playing cards again! Are these two going to piss me off to death?"

"If she doesn't want to come, then don't come! Tell her! She doesn't need to come from now on! Just live by her cards! Someone, go to the Imperial Concubine!"

For Yihuan, it doesn’t matter whether he comes or not. He can still enjoy his free time if he doesn’t come.

However, when the dragon chariot was about to reach Chuxiu Palace, Hongli coughed inadvertently.

Jinzhong understood and immediately shouted to get off the sedan chair.

Li Yu glared at him angrily, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear, which was nothing more than accusing Jinzhong of being too talkative.

Although Li Yu glared at him, the emperor didn't!

"In that case, I will go to Chuxiu Palace to take a look."

To guess the Holy Will, one must rely on that cleverness.

Guessed wrong, haha.

If you guess correctly, you will gain the emperor's favor.

"Master, the Emperor didn't say it explicitly, but it's all written on his face. He wants to go to Shupin's place. It would be bad to go to the Imperial Noble Consort's place at this time."

Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said sarcastically, "I didn't realize you're quite good at guessing the emperor's intentions. Are you going to push me over one day, huh?"

Jinzhong was terrified and waved his hands quickly, "How is that possible, Master! I am where I am today because of you."

"Oh, I'm afraid that I will teach my apprentice to starve his master to death."

After saying this, Li Yu turned around and walked in, raising his whisk. At the same time, there was no flattery or fear on Jinzhong's face. His eyes were clearly smiling, as if the long-awaited joke was about to begin.

"Master~ Stop hitting me~ You just said you were tired~"

"The last one."

"Wow---"

"Do you believe it? You said this an hour ago..."

"Really, this is the last one."

"My dear, is this the reason why you don't sleep with me?"

Yihuan froze while shuffling the cards. She didn't expect the emperor to come over, so she quickly threw the cards in her hand, stood up, and then knelt down.

"Wow..."

Her movements were so fast that even the cards on the table couldn't react in time and fell with her, scattering all over the floor.

"This...I hooked it by accident."

Hongli pursed his lips and remained silent, looking at the leaf cards scattered around Yihuan, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Yihuan kneeling straight, with her neck held high and her eyes fixed on the ground, Hongli felt upset.

Finally, he sighed and said resignedly, "Pack up, I'm tired, wait for me to rest."

"Yes."

On the second day, after Yihuan helped Hongli wash up, she heard Hongli say indifferently, "From now on, eh, forget it."

"Hmm? What does the Emperor want to say?"

Hongli met Yihuan's indifferent and distant eyes and didn't know how to start for a moment.

Is he going to tell Yihuan directly to stop hanging out with those questionable people?

"Ah, cut~~"

"Master, what's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

"It's okay, I just feel like someone is cursing me behind my back."

Chunchanjue's master has been sneezing more often recently. Someone must be jealous again!

Yes! Absolutely!

"By the way, Chunchan, go and find someone for me later."

"Master, you say."

The weather has been hot recently, and Kim Yu-yeon's belly is getting bigger, which makes her feel more and more irritable.

"Oh my god, my eyelids are twitching more and more frequently."

Jin Yuyan felt uncomfortable all over and was in a bad mood all day long. The palace maids working under her were all worried.

As long as Concubine Jia was slightly unhappy, or even frowned, the people below her would be punished.

I don’t know how many palace maids I have punished in the past few days.

Although the punishment was not as painful as the one Wei Yanwan had received before, palace maids are also human beings, and they have emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"Master, don't get angry with those little bitches. Your body is precious. Master Anji is coming soon, and you still need to pray for the little prince in your belly."

Jin Yuyan sat on the chair and looked up at Zhenshu. If the two of them smiled, they would definitely fart.
