[Bonus Chapter 1: Qi Jingyu's "Revenge"]

Qi Ning regretted it.

I deeply regret it.

She shouldn't have deliberately provoked Qi Jingyu before their wedding.

Although she found it amusing to admire Qi Jingyu's restrained demeanor at the time, she suffered his "revenge" after the wedding.

In the early days after she entered the palace, she was practically bedridden every few days.

The bed curtains were steaming hot. Qi Ning thought it was over and was about to push Qi Jingyu away when he pulled her into his arms again.

"Why are you still..."

Qi Jingyu argued vehemently, "It's Ning'er's fault for always deliberately provoking me before; now it's your turn to make it up to me."

Qi Ning grumbled, "It's that same excuse again. Did you think you wouldn't act like this if I hadn't provoked you before?"

Qi Jingyu chuckled softly: "Of course not."

This reason worked very well. Every time he said it, Qi Ning would feel guilty and then cooperate.

Qi Jingyu hugged her and softened his voice to coax her, "Think about how much I suffered before, don't you feel sorry for me?"

Qi Ning understood that Qi Jingyu was using both soft and hard tactics; when that reason didn't work, he started to coax her.

She won't be fooled.

"I don't feel bad," Qi Ning said with a straight face.

Qi Jingyu found her angry expression quite endearing and leaned in to kiss her cheek.

"Just this once, okay?" he said, trying to negotiate.

Can you trust what a man says in bed? Qi Ning isn't so easily fooled by things like "this is the last time."

Her eyes darted around, and she decided to scare Qi Jingyu.

Qi Ning secretly pinched herself, her eyes immediately reddened, and a tear quickly rolled down her cheek.

Seeing this, Qi Jingyu quickly cupped Qi Ning's face and asked anxiously, "Why are you crying?"

"You bullied me!" Qi Ning accused, her voice trembling with tears.

Qi Jingyu realized what was happening and quickly said, "I didn't mean to bully you. Let's not do anything anymore, okay? Don't cry."

As he spoke, he reached out to wipe away the tears on Qi Ning's face.

Qi Ning looked extremely aggrieved: "You still say you didn't bully me? You're clearly taking revenge on me."

Qi Jingyu wasn't trying to get revenge on her; he was simply unable to control his emotions.

Seeing Qi Ning crying so pitifully, he immediately lost all romantic thoughts and was too busy comforting her.

"It's my fault."

Qi Ning buried her face in his arms, crying so hard her body trembled.

Qi Jingyu stroked the back of her head, comforting her continuously.

As he was trying to comfort her, Qi Jingyu suddenly felt something was off. He lifted Qi Ning's face and saw that she wasn't crying at all; she was clearly trying to hold back her laughter, and her body was trembling from suppressing it.

Qi Jingyu felt both helpless and amused that he had been fooled by her.

"Oh, you lied to me again?"

Qi Ning looked guilty and hugged him, leaning against him without saying a word.

Qi Jingyu looked at her, his eyes revealing a hint of danger.

Qi Ning noticed his gaze, looked up at him and said, "Second brother, I'm so tired."

When she does something wrong and gets caught, she usually pretends to be innocent and pitiful in front of him; now she even knows how to act coquettishly.

But Qi Jingyu actually fell for her act and couldn't do anything about it.

Moreover, she had just cried, and her eyes were still moist. Looking at Qi Jingyu like that, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Qi Jingyu also knew that he had gone a bit too far recently and needed to rein himself in.

He lowered his head and kissed Qin Ning's forehead: "You're tired, go to sleep."

[Bonus Chapter 2: Jealousy]

After entering the palace, Qi Ning was free to come and go from the Imperial Study.

Qi Ning rarely went over, and even if Qi Jingyu asked her to come and keep him company, she might not be willing.

Qi Ning mainly didn't want to delay Qi Jingyu from handling state affairs, and besides, it was incredibly boring over there. Most of the time, Qi Jingyu was either meeting with ministers or reviewing memorials.

A few months after their marriage, it was the end of the year, and the palace was busy with various banquets, all of which Empress Qi Ning had to oversee. As she got busier, she visited the Imperial Study even less.

Qi Ning was too lazy to go over, and Qi Jingyu had no choice but to finish his work as quickly as possible each day so he could go back and be with her sooner.

One day after the New Year, Qi Ning suddenly had a whimsical idea. She took Dong Yue and the others, along with some snacks, to the Imperial Study to see Qi Jingyu.

Unexpectedly, just as she and her entourage arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Study, they ran into a minister who was coming out of it.

Before Qi Ning could even get a good look at who it was, the person glanced at her and then quickly bowed to her.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen."

Qi Ning paused, looking at the person with their head down.

A young eunuch standing nearby reminded her, "Your Majesty, this is Lord Cheng, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."

Qi Ning realized that it was Cheng Mu.

This was the second time Qi Ning had met Cheng Mu, having met him once before at the flower-viewing banquet at the Duke of Cheng's mansion.

So much time had passed, and Qi Ning hadn't really thought about him much; she'd almost forgotten about him.

She said, "Lord Cheng, there's no need for such formalities. Please rise."

"Thank you, Queen."

Cheng Mu raised his head.

Qi Ning didn't say much to him, and walked over with the people behind her.

Qi Ning went directly into the Imperial Study.

"His Majesty."

Qi Jingyu was reviewing memorials when he heard the noise. He immediately put down his pen, got up, and came over to greet her: "Why are you here at this time?"

Qi Ning never needed to bow to him in private, so Qi Jingyu simply took her hand and led her to sit down behind the imperial desk.

"I came to bring you some snacks. Haven't you always complained that I don't want to come see you?"

After putting away the snacks, Dongyue led the servants inside out.

"Yeah."

Qi Jingyu responded and glanced at the plate of pastries.

"Try it quickly."

Qi Ning picked up a pastry from the plate and handed it to Qi Jingyu.

After Qi Jingyu took it, he didn't eat it immediately. Instead, he looked at Qi Ning with a somewhat intriguing expression.

"Did you run into Cheng Mu just now?"

"That's right, we did run into each other outside."

Qi Ning didn't feel that anything was wrong; it was just a coincidence that they ran into each other.

She observed Qi Jingyu and noticed that his expression was not good.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say I could come and go from the Imperial Study at will? You always made me come and keep you company, but now that I'm here, you're giving me attitude?"

"How could I dare to give Ning'er a hard time?"

As Qi Jingyu spoke, he tried to put down the pastry in his hand.

"Look, they won't even eat the snacks I specially brought, and they still say they didn't give me a hard time."

Qi Jingyu paused, the pastry hanging in mid-air, unsure whether to put it down or pick it up and eat it.

Qi Ning snorted: "If you don't want me to come, just say so. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, she got up as if to leave.

"Ning'er."

Qi Jingyu hurriedly put down the snacks and reached out to pull Qi Ning back.

"Don't leave."

He pulled Qi Ning to sit in his lap and said in a softer voice, "You know perfectly well that's not what I meant. I wish you would come and keep me company more often."

"That's not what it means. What does that mean?"

Qi Jingyu remained silent for a moment before admitting, "I was just a little unhappy because I heard that you met Cheng Mu."

Qi Ning glared at him: "Just for this?"

"Yes." Qi Jingyu hugged her. "It's all my fault for being petty. Who told Ning'er to go on a date with him before?"

Qi Jingyu still remembers the way Cheng Mu looked at Qi Ning back then. He was clearly fond of her. If it weren't for Prince Qing interfering, who knows what would have happened between Cheng Mu and Qi Ning.

After all, Qi Jingyu was still Qi Ning's nominal brother at that time, and he couldn't keep ruining her marriage. Otherwise, it would not only be easy to expose his flaws, but it would also be irresponsible to Qi Ning.

In that sense, he should thank Prince Qing. If it weren't for Prince Qing, they probably wouldn't have acted ahead of time, and he wouldn't have been able to be with Qi Ning so quickly.

Qi Ning scoffed, "So what if we've been on a blind date?"

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with having met them."

Qi Jingyu knew he should keep public and private matters separate. He usually treated Cheng Mu and Fang Hewen the same as other ministers. It was just that he was a little unhappy today when he learned that Cheng Mu and Qi Ning had met.

Qi Ning reached out and hugged Qi Jingyu: "What are you worried about, Second Brother? Haven't I already become your Empress?"

"Ning'er is right." Qi Jingyu smiled.

He leaned in and pressed his lips to Qi Ning's, kissing her for a long while as he pinned her against the imperial desk.

It wasn't until Qi Ning nudged him that he sat down and hugged her to calm down.

In this situation, they will still be mindful of their behavior.

Qi Ning originally intended to deliver some snacks and leave, but as soon as she arrived, Qi Jingyu grabbed her and wouldn't let her go.

Qi Jingyu asked her to sit beside him at the imperial desk, while he reviewed memorials.

The two spent the afternoon in the imperial study, finishing off the entire plate of pastries.

After finishing his work, Qi Jingyu rubbed Qi Ning's hand and said, "How about I take you out of the palace tonight?"

"Really?" Qi Ning's eyes lit up slightly.

Although she could leave the palace whenever she wanted, Qi Jingyu wasn't always available to accompany her.

Qi Ning didn't want to go out alone with a bunch of servants and guards.

Most of the ladies and young women in the capital were just flattering her; it was all so boring.

Qi Ning would occasionally return to the Duke's Mansion to visit the old lady, or take Qi Tang out for fun.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Qi Jingyu said. "Let's go change our clothes."

"Okay." Qi Ning nodded with a smile.

The two quickly changed their clothes, disguised themselves as an ordinary young couple, and left the palace together.

They first went to the theater to watch a play, then went to a restaurant for a meal, and then prepared to stroll around the streets.

However, as they were about to leave the restaurant, they ran into a group of people outside the connecting corridor.

It was a group of officials from the imperial court who had come here to drink together, and Fang Hewen was among them.

The officials recognized Qi Jingyu and Qi Ning immediately upon seeing them and wanted to kneel down to pay their respects.

Qi Jingyu raised his hand to signal them, and they immediately understood that His Majesty and the Empress were traveling incognito and did not want to reveal their identities. So they bowed to them and addressed them as "Young Master and Madam".

"No need for formalities, please make yourselves at home. My wife and I will be leaving now."

After saying that, Qi Jingyu led Qi Ning downstairs.

He thought to himself that today was truly unsatisfactory. First, he met Qi Ning and Cheng Mu outside the Imperial Study, and then, while strolling around outside the palace, he unexpectedly ran into Fang Hewen.

Even though he was unhappy, he couldn't show it in front of Qi Ning, otherwise it would seem that he cared too much and might upset her.

Qi Ning tugged at Qi Jingyu's sleeve: "Husband, why aren't you saying anything?"

Qi Jingyu tightened his grip on her hand slightly, his expression remaining unchanged: "It's nothing. Let's go for a walk in the street. See if there's anything you like, and buy it if you want."

Qi Ning nodded naturally.

In fact, the palace has everything, and Qi Ning lacks nothing; she just came out to watch the excitement.

If there was anything that wasn't available in the palace, Qi Ning's gaze shifted and settled on a vendor selling candied hawthorns.

Qi Jingyu followed Qi Ning's gaze and saw the candied hawthorn, his face darkening again.

However, he quickly recovered and asked Qi Ning, "Want some candied hawthorn?"

"Mmm," Qi Ning responded, then added, "But those candied hawthorns are too sweet and cloying. I can't eat a whole skewer. Will you eat with me, my husband?"

Qi Jingyu also disliked these sweet and cloying things, especially the sight of candied hawthorns, which reminded him of the string of candied hawthorns that Fang Hewen had bought for Qi Ning before.

"It's alright if you can't finish it all. Eat as much as you can," he said gently, his expression showing no sign of distress.

Qi Ning knew exactly what Qi Jingyu, this jealous man, was thinking. She deliberately frowned and said in a wronged tone, "Then forget it. If my husband doesn't eat, I won't eat either."

Upon seeing this, Qi Jingyu immediately said, "No, I'll eat with you."

He led Qi Ning to the vendor selling candied hawthorns and bought her a skewer.

"Here, let's eat."

Qi Ning, holding the candied hawthorn, looked up and smiled, saying, "Then I'll have a bite, and you can have a bite?"

Qi Jingyu belatedly realized that Qi Ning seemed to be coaxing him.

He smiled and said, "Okay."

Qi Ning took a bite of the candied hawthorn skewer, then handed it to Qi Jingyu, who also took a bite.

When Qi Jingyu ate the candied hawthorn that Qi Ning fed him, the unpleasant feeling in his heart seemed to be instantly washed away by the sweetness in his mouth.

The two walked hand in hand down the street, eating candied hawthorns as they went.

Fang Hewen hadn't dared to look at Qi Ning earlier, but now he stood by the restaurant window, holding a wine glass, watching the two people in the crowd below.

They walked slowly down the street hand in hand, each taking a bite of candied hawthorn, truly a loving newlywed couple.

[Bonus Chapter 3: Pregnancy]

Qi Ning felt unwell after leaving the palace that night.

The next morning, Qi Jingyu went to the morning court early, while Qi Ning was still lying in bed.

After Qi Jingyu finished the morning court session, he habitually inquired about Qi Ning's condition. Upon hearing that Qi Ning was unwell, he immediately abandoned everything else and rushed back to their palace.

Upon entering, Qi Jingyu saw Qi Ning slumped listlessly on a small couch.

"Ning'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

He went up and hugged her.

Qi Ning leaned lazily against him, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy and don't have much of an appetite."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Dongxue said worriedly from the side, "Her Majesty didn't eat much for breakfast."

"Have you called the doctor?"

"Yes, the imperial physician will be here shortly."

Qi Jingyu responded and reached out to touch Qi Ning's forehead; thankfully, it wasn't hot.

He suspected that taking Qi Ning out last night had caused her to catch a cold or eat something unclean, which was why she was like this.

Qi Jingyu couldn't help but feel a little guilty. It was so cold last night; he shouldn't have taken Qi Ning out of the palace.

"Go and see why the imperial physician hasn't arrived yet," he urged sternly.

"Yes, this servant will go and urge them right away."

Qi Ning actually knew what was wrong with her, and she smiled and said, "It's not that serious, don't worry."

Qi Jingyu had no idea what was going on and was only worried about Qi Ning's health.

"We'll know how serious it is once the imperial physician comes to take a look."

He looked at Qi Ning's slightly pale face with concern in his eyes.
