A short while later, the eunuch from Consort Lin's palace came over with a cup of tea.

"..."

Ye Qingyou picked up her teacup, lifted the lid, and immediately smelled a delicate fragrance.

"Is this lotus flower tea?"

Ye Qingyou asked aloud.

"Yes!"

Lin Xuanshi was very uneasy, but she really didn't have any good tea to offer His Majesty.

"How dare you! You're giving His Majesty this kind of thing to drink?!"

Before Ye Qingyou could even speak, the eunuch serving her began to reprimand her.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Lin Xuanshi was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground again, trembling.

Ye Qingyou sighed helplessly in her heart.

This Consort Lin is really timid; one of her own eunuchs has already frightened her to this extent.

"How dare you! I haven't even said anything yet, how dare you interfere here!"

Ye Qingyou frowned as she looked at the eunuch on the side, then walked over to Lin Xuanshi and gently helped him up.

Lin Xuanshi was very uneasy. Even after he was helped up, his heart was still pounding.

The eunuch who was scolded by Ye Qingyou was terrified and immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

He kowtowed several more times.

"Get out!"

Ye Qingyou shouted angrily.

After a short while, the surroundings became quiet again.

Inside the palace, only she and Consort Lin remained.

Ye Qingyou sat back down in her original spot, just as she picked up the teacup, ready to drink it.

Then they heard Lin Xuanshi, who was standing to the side, speak up to stop them.

"Your Majesty, it's best not to drink this!"

"This is good."

Ye Qingyou took another sip before putting it down.

"Clear and refreshing, this must have been boiled with dew from bamboo leaves this morning!"

She had just tasted the refreshing fragrance of bamboo leaves.

"Yes!"

Lin Xuanshi nodded.

"Can you play chess?"

Ye Qingyou asked again.

"I only know a little bit!"

Lin Xuanshi was a little embarrassed.

"Bring me the chess pieces!"

Ye Qingyou waved her hand.

"Yes!"

Lin Xuanshi hurriedly went to fetch the chessboard.

Ye Qingyou's chess skills are naturally beyond question; she didn't use her full strength, as it was just for fun.

Fortunately, Consort Lin's chess skills weren't too bad, so playing chess with her wasn't boring at all.

They played chess until it was almost time for court. Ye Qingyou ate something at Lin Xuanshi's place before changing into the clothes that the eunuch had just brought her. Dressed in new clothes, she rode in the imperial carriage to court.

Lin Xuanshi sat in the palace and waited until Ye Qingyou left for a while before she came to her senses.

His Majesty was indeed here, keeping him company all night.

"Master, your hard times are finally over!"

Dingdang walked to Lin Xuanshi's side and spoke with a slight sob in her voice.

Lin Xuanshi did not speak, but simply smiled slightly.

"Master, you haven't slept all night. Let me help you to bed!"

Dingdang supported his arm.

"Ok!"

Lin Xuanshi nodded.

She had just fallen asleep, and less than two hours had passed when Consort Lin was woken up again by Dingdang.

"My lord, rise to receive the imperial edict!"

Lin Xuanshi was slightly taken aback, then quickly got up and, with Dingdang's help, tidied her hair and put on her clothes.

He hurriedly went out.

The eunuch outside announcing the imperial decree had clearly been waiting for a while.

However, he still had a smile on his face, without the slightest hint of anger.
