Jing Yi didn't leave. He just asked Cai An, the supervisor of the internal supervision, to bring a stack of memorials over. When Cai An came in, although he was submissive, he couldn't help but carefully glance at me. Seeing this, Jing Yi asked him to serve tea and candles before sending him out.
The first few hours were the best time to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, I just stood there, allowing the symptoms of internal injuries to slowly accumulate and spread. I stubbornly confronted him silently in front of the case.
The night was silent, and there was no more words.
At daybreak, Cai An, who was outside the door, reported the time in a low voice, reminding the people inside that it was time to get up and go to Longevity Palace.
Jing Yi finally raised her head and saw that I was still standing there. She stood up and walked to me."The Empress is quiet."
I smiled and said in a hoarse voice,"Thank you for your praise, Emperor."
" It's just that the Empress is so obedient." He didn't choke on me at all. He looked at me with a smile." If the servants see it later, what will happen to the Rong family?"”
I raised my eyes." The only one who is newly married is ChenQie. The Emperor is concerned about the country and the world, so I dare not trouble the Emperor."”
Jing Yi's eyebrows twitched." It's said that the Empress is timid, but I don't know that she's also eloquent."”
" Everyone says that the Emperor is wise and wise, but how come he started to talk about it from hearsay?" I averted my eyes slightly. Although I could still deal with it, I was extremely disgusted with this kind of cold words. After a while, I said," How many people are watching this day? It's better not to miss the time."”
He looked at me for a moment, then glanced at the door and said,"Get someone to come in and change."
Cai An was clearly at the door, but Jing Yi's words were for me. I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't hesitate. I walked towards the door. Unexpectedly, just as I moved, my long hair, which was tied up by a jade hairpin, suddenly fell to the ground.
Actually, from the moment he raised his hand, I sensed it. No matter what he wanted to do, I deliberately pretended not to know. If he wanted me to be an ordinary person, I wouldn't be so sensitive. However, when the hairpin was taken away, I was still surprised when I suddenly understood his intentions. I turned around to look at him, but he didn't stop walking into the bedroom.
Cai An didn't expect me to open the door personally. He quickly knelt down and greeted me."This servant greets the Empress."
" Come in." I turned away and said," Just wait outside."”
Cai An understood. He bowed and nodded. With a wave of his hand, a long line of palace servants filed in from behind. They held all kinds of toilet items and stood in order. I casually took a look and realized that the two ceremonial nannies from last night had also arrived. I paused for a moment and my heart skipped a beat. Only then did I remember what Jing Yi was hinting at just now.
I didn't dare to delay, so I signaled Cai An to bring Jing Yi's clothes in with me.
Cai An had been by Jing Yi's side for many years, so he was smart and reliable. He ignored Jing Yi's calm and tidy bed and only helped her take off her usual clothes from last night.
Jing Yi didn't reach out her hand. Her eyes swept over me. I was stunned for a moment and went forward to take the clothes. Jing Yi then gave Cai An a look. Cai An didn't say a word and nodded.
I didn't know what Jing Yi had instructed me to do or what she had done for me, so I didn't ask. I just helped him button his shirt and adjust the jade pendant on his belt."There's no morning court today, so the emperor should go and sleep when he's free. If you're not happy to see me, then don't come over tonight. It's not a proper wedding, so three nights is still one night.”
This time, besides omitting the two ceremonies of worshipping the heavens and taking charge of the government, the other rules and etiquette were all prepared for the wedding. The court session would end for three days, and the emperor and empress would sleep for three nights.
I didn't raise my head when I said this. He didn't say anything at first, but after a while, he said,"The Empress is thoughtful."
I silently smiled.
Even though I looked calm on the surface and didn't look at him at all, I still used a lot of strength to suppress the urge to hug him when I moved my hand away from his waist. I told myself over and over again to maintain stability at the beginning and that there was still a long way to go.
I actually had my own plans in mind. I hadn't dressed yet, so it would be too late for the Longevity Palace to pay their respects. The entire harem was watching, so it was easy to imagine what would happen. Moreover, Jing Yi had barely accepted my appearance and was still feeling conflicted. Shen Lin and Qingcheng were probably waiting for my explanation. I didn't have any advantage, so even if I wasn't besieged from all sides, I would still be in a difficult position.
Jing Tang taught me to retreat at the critical moment.
After dressing up, Jing Yi, who was also dressed in auspicious clothes, and I took a palanquin to Shouyan Palace to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager. It was a little late, so although the Empress Dowager didn't say anything explicitly, she always looked at me strangely. However, because of Jing Yi, she still said those dignified and earnest admonitions,"From today onwards, the empress will be the master of the harem. The emperor has been married for many years, and this widow has finally settled one of her worries. For the latter, she should cultivate her morals and maintain harmony in the palace. She should diligently serve the emperor and continue to have descendants.”
I respectfully responded, my manners not lacking at all, so that the Empress Dowager couldn't pick anything, nor did I dare to pick anything.
After being pardoned, I returned to Kunyi Palace. I knew that what I would see next would be his beautiful harem.
The Kun Yi Palace is the main palace of the Empress. The main hall is called the Yi Lan Hall. It is spacious and grand, but it is exquisite and beautiful. It echoes the Zheng Yuan Hall of the Ganyang Palace. Standing in this hall, I feel a trace of awe. It sounds good to say that I am the mother of the world, but the heavy burden behind the shocking wealth is not something that ordinary people can imagine.
As I entered the palace, Jing Yi stared at the main seat in a daze. There was a faint familiarity in his expression. I couldn't help but recall the first time I saw him when I was seven years old. That moment touched me with a bit of sadness and loneliness.
This was the palace that his mother had once lived in. It had been empty for twelve years and had changed hands. If it was Rong Chengxiao, he would probably get rid of her after using her to vent his hatred for blasphemy. However, it was me. It was not difficult to imagine the complexity in his heart.
I didn't know what to say. I felt awkward for a moment before Cai An's voice rang out from behind me."Reporting to the emperor, the imperial consort has brought Consort Hui, Consort Ning and the other concubines to pay their respects to the empress and is already waiting outside the hall.”
I turned around when I heard that. Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat.
I tilted my head and glanced at Jing Yi, but he had already returned to his usual expression. He didn't even look at me and casually replied,""Call him in."
As he spoke, he walked straight to the main seat. I followed behind him and waited for him to turn around and sit down.
I wasn't worried that Consort Hui would recognize me, as I was afraid that Jing Yi would reject me because I had entered the palace. She owed me more than I did. If she dared to speak, she would die a horrible death.
Besides, a woman who can become a consort is definitely not an ordinary person. Although her family is powerful, it's not so powerful that Jing Yi can't touch her. She managed to keep her position even though she angered him half a year ago. She must know how to expose that I'm not only making things difficult for me, but also causing trouble for Jing Yi and Rong Chengjia.
However, the situation that I thought I had considered was still beyond my expectations when that group of women entered the hall.
"Chen Qie greets the emperor, empress niangniang…"
Kneeling at the front was a graceful and graceful woman. Under her elegant demeanor was a sharp gaze that could not be concealed. It was undoubtedly the Imperial Consort Xue Chan. Behind her were six or seven people with higher positions. From their attire, they were all masters of the Third Stage and above, each in charge of a palace.
Among these people, I didn't see Consort Hui, or rather, the woman I always thought was Consort Hui.
