Bai Yao didn't sleep well, so did Lou Chen, Shen Yanxi, and Li Bing, who were waiting outside the door. However, each of them was worried about different things, but they were all worried about Bai Yao.
That night, Bai Yao thought about many things, and she felt that something was wrong. If she was in Asahi Palace, she would have fallen asleep long ago, but today, she was not sleepy at all.
Lou Chen in the room might be part of the reason, but the difference couldn't be this big. Bai Yao wasn't stupid and immediately confirmed that there was something wrong with her bedroom.
She had to put on a complete act, and she didn't sleep well either. When the sky was about to brighten, Bai Yao got up and lifted the curtain to take a look. The person on the low couch had bright eyes. It seemed that she hadn't slept all night.
Bai Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When she transmigrated, she was always wary of the men who would attack her, but she was the one being guarded against.
Bai Yao guessed that Lou Chen must have been on full alert tonight and didn't dare to tease him anymore. She directly said,"Go to bed and sleep. Pretend that we've been together for the whole night.”
Hearing this, Lou Chen was furious again. Bai Yao pointed at him and threatened,"You can deny it, but don't deny it. If you dare to ruin my plan, be careful that I'll crush your handle!”
Lou Chen turned a deaf ear and didn't take Bai Yao seriously. Bai Yao then said,""Someone told me that you secretly met Mu Yan.”
Lou Chen's gaze was focused as expected, and his expression changed slightly.
Bai Yao said slowly,""I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? I also know that you're aloof and think that your life is nothing more than this. However, I know that people like you can't stand to see the person in your heart get hurt, right? As long as you listen to me, I won't touch anyone for the time being. Everyone will take their time.”
Lou Chen still didn't say a word, his expression extremely ugly.
Bai Yao was actually just a paper tiger. Seeing that her words had worked, she felt very guilty. She no longer forced him and softened her tone."Now, take off your coat and lie on the bed. Don't look so generous. You despise me, but I despise you! I didn't sleep in the inner section. You go inside and lie down!”
Lou Chen still didn't move, and Bai Yao couldn't help but wonder if her efforts were in vain. Lou Chen stood up and walked to the bed. He took off his coat with his back facing Bai Yao and got on the bed.
"Good boy!" Bai Yao was very satisfied and happily opened the door. She shouted at the darkness,""Zhen wants to get up!"
Li Bing and Shen Yanxi soon arrived and were about to help Bai Yao wash up. Bai Yao waved her hand and looked back."Go back to Asahi Palace. Don't disturb Ah Chen's rest. He must be tired from last night.”
"Yes." In the darkness, Bai Yao couldn't see everyone's expressions, but she was looking forward to what would happen next.
Before the morning court session, Bai Yao had Li Bing prepare some things to send to the Winter House. She also ordered that no one was allowed to approach the Winter House to cause trouble for Lou Chen. It was as if she wanted to pamper him all night.
The morning court session was still as conscientious as ever, scaring the court. Bai Yao quickly slipped into the inner room. Tang Xue was sipping her tea, putting down her teacup and getting up to leave. Seeing her rush in, she did not get up and said indifferently,"Qiong 'er is here?"
Bai Yao walked up enthusiastically and lied through her teeth,""What tea did mother drink? It smells so good.”
Tang Xue smiled slightly and said," Look at Qiong 'er's appearance. It seems like Mother is hiding something. You have the most cypress leaves as tribute. You are pretending to be ignorant."”
Bai Yao was truly muddle-headed. She only wanted to chat with Tang Xue a few more times. If she wanted to turn enemies into friends, hiding was useless. Only by going up against her would she be able to change her mind.
"Daughter drinking tea is not called drinking tea. Mother's tea has a different fragrance.”
Although Nalan Baiqiong had always listened to her, she rarely said such words that would make people happy. After all, she had a self-centered personality, so when these words came out of her mouth, Tang Xue still felt a little happy."Look at what you're saying. It's all because you don't like tea and only think about fun things all day long.”
Bai Yao coaxed Tang Xue for a while, putting on the act of a loving mother and a filial daughter for a long time. Recently, Tang Xue seemed to have gotten used to this talkative and good-tempered Nalan Baiqiong. Perhaps she couldn't see through her, so she didn't show it on her face.
However, she still pretended to mention it unintentionally."I heard that you stayed at the Winter Villa last night?”
Bai Yao's face reddened upon hearing this, and there seemed to be a hint of pride in her eyes as she said proudly,""Mother's news was really fast. Daughter coaxed her every day and finally brought the beauty home.”
"Child, do you really think of yourself as a man? How can you say such a thing?" Tang Xue chided her and sighed," Mother really can't control you. You've become the Emperor, and you've forgotten all about your morals. Only Jinchuan has a good temper and can tolerate you."”
Bai Yao put on an arrogant smile.""Who said that women are inferior to men? The female monarch that Mother has taught naturally has to be different.”
She did not seem to care about her many male companions at all.
Actually, among the men in the harem, other than Tang Jinchuan, who came from a prestigious family and was originally going to be the Prince Consort, the other men were all from ordinary backgrounds and were secretly sent into the palace.
Of course, this quietly referred to not making a big fuss, but for those who had some skills, it was already an open secret. There were even many people who were quick-witted who picked beautiful men to find an excuse to send them into the palace.
There were indeed some complaints, but what could they do? The emperor had been sitting for so many years. Could it be that he was going to drag her down?
In the end, Empress Dowager Tang was powerful. Even the Nalan Imperial Family could only give up this position.
After so many years, in the Imperial City, it seemed that there were some mismatches between men and women.
Tang Xue smiled slightly. Bai Yao saw a flash of envy in her eyes. She probably thought," If I was born in an imperial family, how could I be Nalan Baiqiong?"
"Jun Dangxian, mother can't say much about you. Qiong 'er can do as she pleases. It doesn't matter who Qiong-er likes and dotes on, but Jinchuan is your real husband's family after all. Mother thinks Qiong-er should have her own considerations in her heart.”
Bai Yao nodded obediently and said insincerely,""Mother understands her daughter the best. How can they compare to Jinchuan? His daughter just wanted to play something new. It was fine if it was lively for more than a month.”
Tang Xue nodded and glanced at Bai Yao's belly. She said lovingly,""Making a ruckus is one thing, but Qiong 'er should also let the ministers rest assured as soon as possible.”
