The palace maid's words stunned Yuan Zinuo and Ouyang Xu. Ouyang Xu looked at Yuan Zinuo nervously." Little Nuo, you have to believe me, I…"
Yuan Zinuo stared blankly at Ouyang Xu. Her eyes were questioning, suspicious, and mocking.
"Get lost!" Ouyang Xu roared and kicked the palace servant. The palace servant crawled out of the hall.
"It is indeed a surprise!" Yuan Zinuo stood up and stared coldly at Ouyang Xu." Congratulations, Emperor, for having a dragon son!”With that, he walked towards the door.
"Xiao Nuo!" Ouyang Xu hugged Yuan Zinuo tightly. He was afraid that if he let go, she would leave forever." You don't believe me?”
"She already has a child. How can I trust you?”Yuan Zinuo felt that she was especially laughable.
"That child is not mine!" Ouyang Xu let go of Yuan Zinuo and moved her over to face him." Consort De is the princess of Dongyue. That child belongs to her and her sweetheart!”
Yuan Zinuo stared at Ouyang Xu in disbelief. He had already made a cuckold out of him, but he didn't seem nervous at all." Since you know, why?”She didn't know what was going on, but as long as Ouyang Xu said it, she would believe it.
"Then do you know who her sweetheart is?”Ouyang Xu was a little mysterious as he pulled Yuan Zinuo to sit on the soft couch.
"Who is it?" Looking at Ouyang Xu's appearance, that person must be someone they were familiar with. Moreover, they could not make a sound about it. Otherwise, no matter how much Ouyang Xu did not care about that viscountess, he would not tolerate her cuckolding him.
"Minghong!" Holding Yuan Zinuo in his arms, Ouyang Xu gently stroked Yuan Zinuo's waist-length hair as if he was stroking a puppy's fur.
"Brother? How is that possible?" How could Ming Hong do such a thing? He and Ouyang Xu were good friends.
"The princess of Dong Yue is called Dong Fang Cai Wei. She met Ming Hong at the 'World's Best' convention five years ago and fell in love with him at first sight. Who knew that your big brother was so heartless and turned a blind eye to the love of other girls. On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the palace was going to hold a festival of begging for cleverness and Ming Hong happened to have something to attend to. Dongfang Caiwei had always been a soft-hearted woman and no one knew who instigated her to drug Ming Hong. After that, Ming Hong came to me to confess, hoping that I wouldn't make things difficult for Dongfang Caiwei!”Ouyang Xu slowly recounted Ming Hong's romantic encounter, gloating a little.
"Really?" Yuan Zinuo felt that things weren't that simple. Since Dongfang Caiwei had a weak personality, how could she do such a bold thing?" Does Older Brother like Dongfang Caiwei?”
Ouyang Xu shook his head and frowned slightly," I'm not sure either. If there's no friendship, he wouldn't specifically mention it to me. If there's a feeling, he wouldn't let Dongfang Caiwei be bullied. However, that Dongfang Caiwei was too weak. A palace maid dared to scheme against her like this. This matter was not easy to resolve now!”
"What do you mean?" Yuan Zinuo looked at Ouyang Xu doubtfully.
"The child she's pregnant with isn't mine at all. How dare she brazenly claim credit for it?”
"That's right. She should be able to hide it from us. Why would they send someone to tell you?" Yuan Zinuo couldn't figure it out either. Dongfang Caiwei wouldn't be so stupid as to court death, right?
" The previous Dongyue King had three daughters. Dongfang Caiwei was the weakest. Dongfang Yan sent her here because he saw her as an abandoned child, so he didn't send anyone to protect her. The two dowry maids who came with him also wanted to climb up the social ladder, so they ignored her. I don't know who sent that palace maid today, but I reckon she's here to mess with her!”Although Ouyang Xu did not care about the affairs of the harem, he knew it like the back of his hand. This was because he did not allow anyone to do anything that would hinder his great cause, especially the princesses of the four kingdoms. Their identities were special.
"What? She's so pitiful!" Yuan Zinuo pursed her lips. Ouyang Xu controlled every woman very well. He definitely knew about Dongfang Caiwei seducing Ming Hong. She didn't know what he was planning." Tell me, how are you going to deal with this?"”
"En, no matter what, she's pregnant with Minghong's child. That's the only child of the Yu family. I can't cut off the Yu family's bloodline, right? So, I'm prepared to gift her to Minghong tonight!”Ouyang Xu's smile was a little sly. He could not be happier that he had solved a problem so easily.
"The problem now is that Dongfang Caiwei is one of the four concubines. If she is just an ordinary concubine, you can just give her to your brother. However, her status is special, and the officials in the court will not agree!”Yuan Zinuo was even more puzzled. She even suspected that all of this was secretly controlled by Ouyang Xu.
"Let's not talk about others first. Is today's food really not delicious?”Ouyang Xu blinked his eyes mysteriously and stared at Yuan Zinuo with a little resentment.
"No, it's not bad!" Strange, how would Ouyang Xu deal with it?
"It's just okay?" Ouyang Xu was really hurt." Aren't your demands too high?”
"It's definitely incomparable to what I did!”Yuan Zinuo didn't understand why Ouyang Xu was so conflicted about whether the food tasted good or not.
"Then teach me. I'll definitely cook better next time!”He had eaten Yuan Zinuo's cooking before, and it was indeed a delicacy of the world. Even now, he still had an endless aftertaste. Over the past year, what he missed the most was Yuan Zinuo's cooking.
"Alright, I'll teach you.”Yuan Zinuo finally reacted. The dishes on that table were all personally made by Ouyang Xu." You made them?”
Ouyang Xu saw that the little woman in his arms was finally not muddle-headed anymore. He smiled brightly and nodded." I've missed you every day this year. Didn't you say that if you want to capture a woman's heart, you have to capture a woman's stomach? I thought that if you could eat my dishes, there would be no other dishes in the world from now on. You would only have me in your eyes and heart. It would definitely be especially wonderful!”
Yuan Zinuo couldn't describe what she felt. She only felt her heart and eyes heat up. She was joking, but he actually remembered it. A gentleman stayed away from the kitchen. The ruler of a country was willing to cook for her. She should be the happiest woman in the world! Yuan Zinuo wrapped her small hand around Ouyang Xu's neck and took the initiative to kiss him.
Ouyang Xu felt that his hard work in the morning had finally paid off after receiving the kiss. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his large hand pressed on the back of Yuan Zinuo's head. He turned from passive to active and began to receive his reward.
"Emperor, bad news!" Little Li rushed in and saw the scene in front of him. He knew that he had caused trouble again. He lowered his head and knelt on the ground, trembling." Your Majesty, this servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die!"”
Ouyang Xu's good time had been interrupted, and he was unsatisfied. He glared angrily at Little Li on the ground and said through gritted teeth," You better have a good reason. Otherwise, you can go and scrub the toilet!"”
"Noble Consort niangniang brought Eldest Princess to Consort De niangniang's bedchamber, saying that Consort De niangniang had an affair and wanted to execute Consort De niangniang and the child in her stomach!”Little Li mustered up his last bit of courage and said these words, almost fainting.
"What? Who dares to hurt my nephew?”Yuan Zinuo stood up angrily and lifted the hem of her skirt, wanting to run out of the door. However, Ouyang Xu carried her from behind.
"There's no hurry. Trust me, I'll handle it well!”Ouyang Xu carried Yuan Zinuo and strode out of the bedroom." Gui Ying, take that palace maid and leave!”
A black shadow appeared out of thin air and knelt on the ground." Yes!”
"Did you order all of this?”She was very suspicious, very suspicious. Especially when she saw Ouyang Xu raise his eyebrows, she became even more suspicious.
"I only pushed them a little so that someone's plan could be carried out smoothly. At most, I can be considered an accomplice!”Ouyang Xu carried Yuan Zinuo and flew towards Consort De's bedchamber, arriving in a few leaps.
At this moment, a delicate and weak woman in a blue palace dress was kneeling on the ground. Her head was lowered, and her expression could not be seen. However, her shoulders were constantly trembling. She was probably crying.
Gong Sun Ying was dressed in a bright red palace robe as she stood opposite the woman. The Eldest Princess was sitting on a chair with her back facing them.
When the palace maids saw Ouyang Xu coming, they all knelt down." Greetings, Emperor!”
Gongsun Ying turned around and saw Ouyang Xu hugging Yuan Zinuo. A trace of displeasure appeared on her face, but it quickly dissipated. She lowered her head and knelt down." Greetings, Your Majesty!"”
Ouyang Xu put down Yuan Zinuo and walked to the Eldest Princess 'side." Grandmother, why didn't you tell Mian Zhi that you were coming?”
"You have a beauty to accompany you, but you haven't come back to see me for more than half a month. I can only come by myself!”The Eldest Princess looked at Ouyang Xu and then at Yuan Zinuo who was beside him. She smiled slightly and waved at Yuan Zinuo." Little Nuo is back. Why didn't you come and see Grandma?"”
Yuan Zinuo smiled as she walked to the Eldest Princess 'side and held her kind and warm hands." There were some matters in the clan that I didn't have time for. I hope Grandma won't blame me!”
"I know. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!”The Eldest Princess stared at Ouyang Xu meaningfully, and even someone as thick-skinned as Yuan Zinuo lowered her head shyly.
"Xiao Nuo, I haven't seen you for a year, and you've become even more beautiful!”Gong Sun Ying saw that she was being ignored and tried to find her own presence.
"Why is Consort De kneeling on the ground?" Ouyang Xu walked up to Consort De. Consort De still lowered her head, not daring to look at Ouyang Xu. Ouyang Xu glared at the palace maid beside her." Aren't you going to help Consort De up?”
"Emperor, Consort De did not abide by her womanly principles and had an affair with someone else. Now, she is actually pregnant with a bastard child. ChenQie specially called Eldest Princess to clean up the harem!”Gong Sun Ying smiled proudly.
"Hmm? Is there such a thing?" Ouyang Xu asked even though he knew the answer. He even acted especially surprised." Consort De, do you think it's true?”
Consort De cried even louder. She did not raise her head nor speak.
"Emperor, according to the records of the Minister's Office, other than the day last year on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month when Consort De was conferred the title, the emperor had never summoned Consort De again. Now that she is more than a month pregnant, she must have had an affair with someone else!”Gong Sun Ying answered fluently. She had practiced these words for a long time and had been looking forward to them for a long time. She was a little excited.
"I didn't expect the Imperial Consort to have such a clear grasp of Zhen's whereabouts.”Ouyang Xu coldly turned his head and stared at Gong Sun Ying. His tone was cold and hard, scaring Gong Sun Ying so much that he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Emperor, ChenQie only did this for the peace of the harem. ChenQie knows her mistake, please show mercy!”Gong Sun Ying originally thought that Ouyang Xu should be happy that he had caught Dongfang Caiwei's weakness, but he did not expect that he would touch the taboo of an emperor. The thing that any emperor hated the most was having someone monitoring him, especially the women in the harem.
