Jiang Zhiyun woke up the next morning feeling very tired and exhausted.

To be precise, I haven't been feeling well lately, and I even had a long ordeal last night.

Later, Xie Shuheng noticed that her complexion was really bad, so he ordered her to take a bath.

After that, Jiang Zhiyun drifted off to sleep.

Now that she's awake, Xie Shuheng turns his head and looks at her dazed state, feeling a pang of heartache: "It's still early. I'm going to the morning court session. You rest well in the room."

"Hmm..." Jiang Zhiyun nodded, but couldn't quite describe her state of mind, and remained silent as she looked at Xie Shuheng.

"Um, let me help you change your clothes."

She knew that a wife should help her husband change his clothes. These were palace etiquette rules. Although her mother and Xie Shuheng didn't care, Yunniang didn't want her actions to be criticized. All she needed to do was keep striving forward.

She got up with her eyes closed, but skillfully took the belt and used it on Xie Shuheng.

Feeling that soft, delicate face pressed against me.

Moreover, Yunniang's whole body was soft and she always seemed comfortable, so Xie Shuheng didn't refuse.

However... if his wife is willing, he would be very happy to accept it, and he would be even happier to be together with her.

Now, it's no wonder he looks so happy and excited.

Originally, there were only the two of them when they were together, and the maids outside knew their place. Everyone knew that Xie Shuheng and Jiang Zhiyun didn't like outsiders to be present when they were together. Originally, there was a screen between them, but one maid boldly walked in, brought in Xie Shuheng's outer robe, and offered to put it on him.

"..."

Xie Shuheng subtly avoided the question.

He frowned and said, "Get out."

The maid didn't leave; she just knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with distress and pleading: "This servant was chosen by the adults and sent in by all the civil and military officials."

"They said they were here to serve the Empress and help share the burden."

“My parents are ordinary farmers, and they favor my eldest sister. I also have a younger brother. All the family’s expenses revolve around this one person.”

"My entry into the palace was a decision I had made long ago. It was also my only way to survive. I just wanted to share the burden with Her Majesty the Empress."

"If I have done anything to displease His Majesty, I will immediately correct it. I hope His Majesty can give me a chance to reform myself!"

As she spoke, the maid's eyes were filled with sorrow, tears were streaming down her face, and she even had a stubborn air about her.

The main issue is that even Jiang Zhiyun herself felt a little awkward looking at it.

She could clearly sense that the girl's background was being imitated, and even the way she spoke was being imitated.

If it were the Xie Shuheng of the past, he would have dragged him away and beheaded him. But this time, he looked at Yunniang and said, "What do you want? Throw him out? Or send him to the Cold Palace?"

His tone was calm, and Jiang Zhiyun said after looking at him, "Stay, it's not easy for you either."

"Get out."

"Also, you don't need to call me Your Majesty."

He didn't want to be emperor, and he disliked the feeling even more. With a wife and children, all he wanted was for his family to live a good life. Therefore, Xie Shuheng found the title of emperor extremely uninteresting.

It was at this moment that Xie Shuheng suddenly pulled Yunniang into his arms.

His eyes were full of apology: "I've been wondering if we made a mistake coming to Bianjing City."

"If it were in the Northwest or Southwest, we could also maintain our military strength and no one would dare to provoke us, and such troublesome things would not happen."

Jiang Zhiyun genuinely didn't care: "I kept her here not because my feelings for you have changed. To put it bluntly, everyone here is just a pitiful person. They deliberately targeted me because of my background. That way, I might be able to empathize with them, and I might soften my heart. Then you might also come to like someone like that."

"So, if this one leaves, there will be another one."

"Of course, Xie Shuheng, this is also a test for you."

When Yunniang said this, she said, "There will be many more who want to monitor us and control us in the future."

“These people will never stop. Where there is power, there will be trouble. My time is precious, and so is yours. We should never waste time on these meaningless things.”

"I'm by your side, and we should encourage each other to improve."

When Yunniang said this, she was no longer sleepy. Her eyes were full of anticipation and joy for the future. If she could continue to do well, everything else would be fine.

"Hmm," Xie Shuheng hugged her, "I don't want to go to the morning court anymore."

"I want to spend a day like this, just traveling around with my wife."

"It will happen eventually."

Yunniang smiled and said, "Wait for you after court. Come to the imperial kitchen and wait for me. We'll have dinner there."

"it is good."

Xie Shuheng, wearing the clothes Yunniang had chosen for him, walked outside, feeling exceptionally good.

Now, he was thinking about what kind of meal Yunniang would take him to today.

I never used to think about things this much, and my mind was never filled with thoughts of Yunniang. But now I feel...

Joy comes from being near her.

In fact, these ministers, upon careful consideration, realized that they had been searching for ways to sabotage the relationship between the two. What they couldn't understand was that it wasn't that Jiang Zhiyun couldn't live without Xie Shuheng, but rather that Xie Shuheng simply couldn't live without Jiang Zhiyun...

They want something that lasts a long time, but others can't see that coming.

Sometimes, even if a child is the child of two people, they are still considered a third party.

At this time, Xiao Fantuan was receiving lessons from a tutor whom his father had found for him, and the tutor's name was Lu Shao.

My mother said this is her good friend.

"Uncle Lu Shao, why don't you drink tea?" Little Rice Ball propped her little face up with her hands, still speaking in a childish voice. The child was well-behaved and cute, inheriting her mother's beauty and her father's handsomeness.

Sometimes, even Lu Shao would feel a little dazed when he saw her, wondering if this was really not what Yun Niang looked like when she was a child.

Although Lu Shao had never seen what she looked like as a child, this cuteness must have been brewing.

Thinking of these things, Lu Shao paused in his hand holding the book: "You need to study hard. When I go to prepare for the imperial examination, I won't be able to take care of your studies. I hope you won't back down."

"Then please have some tea first!" Little Rice Ball blinked her eyes. "I am a disciple, it is my duty to serve tea to my teacher."

If someone says this repeatedly, there must be something wrong.

Lu Shao remembered Xie Yang's words and looked at Xie Liqi.

Xie Yang said that Xie Liqi was very mischievous, and if you offended him, he would probably do something underhanded, so you would have to be careful about your food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
