Mo Rongzhan's heart softened and warmed by her confused and helpless eyes. At the same time, he felt helpless. How could she still think that he would spoil other women? She had filled his heart, how could he still want someone else?
He simply lowered his head and gave her a long kiss. It was not until his body changed that he reluctantly let go of her. Clearing his throat, he said, "Don't you understand what I mean? Raise the status of the Xiu Nu, and everyone will naturally think that I will no longer spoil you alone. When the time comes, I will recommend two more outstanding ones to reward. Don't you always like to live in the palace? Then go to Chengde Villa, and those who hide behind will not pay attention to you!"
Ye Zhen's breathing was still a little rapid. She leaned in his arms, her hands tightly around his neck. Hearing his words, the tears in her eyes could not be stopped. "Did … Did something happen?"
Didn't he spoil her alone before? Why has he never been so worried? Something must have happened!
Mo Rongzhan sighed softly, "Actually, nothing happened. After We saw the account books of the national treasury, We have been wondering why the former Emperor lent out so much silver and why the taxes in Nanyue were so severe. Ever since We ascended the throne, the imperial family has been too peaceful. Apart from the old Prince of Kang jumping out, the others have not moved. We thought that they were afraid of our power, but now that I think about it, it is not the case."
Ye Zhen held his hand. "Are you worried that there is a relationship between Nanyue and the royal family?"
"After all, it has been so many years. It is not something that can be found out in a day or two. I must protect you thoroughly!" Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice. The more he spoiled her, the more people would pay attention to her!
"Ah Zhan, I can protect myself!" Ye Zhen whispered. She was not weak and incompetent, and could only rely on him to survive in the palace.
"I know you can protect yourself!" Mo Rongzhan said softly, placing his hand gently on her lower abdomen. "But you are pregnant now, and I am still worried!"
Ye Zhen hooked his finger. "Then I will listen to you, but …"
Mo Rongzhan bowed his head and whispered in her ear, "I will not touch you, not even look at you, okay?"
He had already promised her before she even said it. What else could she say? Ye Rou blushed and nodded, taking the initiative to kiss his thin lips.
Hong Ling, who was about to come in to pass on the message, saw the Emperor and Empress hugging and kissing. She immediately lowered her head and retreated a few steps.
The Empress' coquettish voice came faintly from the room
"… Be gentle, it hurts a little. It will be a scar in a while."
"Let me see if you've grown a bit bigger."
Then came Ye Zhen's charming and ambiguous voice.
Hong Ling smiled bitterly. It looked like she had to invite Third Madam Lu to the side hall. When would the Empress remember that Madam Lu would enter the palace today?
In the room, Ye Zhen didn't know that Pei Shi had come. Her chest was stained with red strawberries. He was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't take her. However, he still grabbed her hand and kissed her twice. Seeing her blushing cheeks and misty eyes, he thought that she was also aroused and insisted on reaching down to help her.
Ye Zhen straightened her legs in his mischievous hands, and her whole body turned into a pool of spring water.
"Is this good?" Mo Rongzhan liked to see her aroused look the most. He held her in his arms and kissed her tenderly.
"Not good!" Ye Rou panted, burying her face in the crook of his neck and calling out.
Mo Rongzhan sighed. "I also know that it's not enough. When your child is born and your body is well, I will satisfy you!"
"…" Did he misunderstand her meaning?
He thought that she was not satisfied! She didn't mean that at all!
Mo Rongzhan was sure that she meant it!
"You're so annoying!" Ye Zhen scolded and bit him on the shoulder.
"Didn't you like it just now?" Mo Rongzhan laughed hoarsely. "I'll let someone bring in hot water for you to wash!"
She still had his things on her body. Little Jiaojiao loved to be clean. If she didn't wash, she would feel uncomfortable all over!
Hong Ling, who was outside, was relieved when she heard that there was hot water inside. She hurriedly brought in the prepared hot water.
Mo Rongzhan took Ye Zhen to wash and washed himself a few times before they sat down on both sides of the kang table again.
Ye Zhen asked someone to bring in the chilled mung bean soup. She was pregnant and couldn't eat too cold, so she only drank a bowl of warm soup.
"This mung bean soup is better than the one I had in the Palace of Heavenly Purity!" Mo Rongzhan said, drinking three bowls in a row before stopping.
"I asked someone to add some dried tangerine peel in it. It's much more refreshing!" Ye Zhen smiled. "If you like it, I'll have someone send it to you in the future!"
"Good!" Mo Rongzhan nodded with a smile.
Hong Ling braced herself and came up. "Your Highness, Third Madam Lu has entered the palace!"
Ye Zhen let out a cry. She had forgotten that Pei Shi was going to enter the palace today. She looked up at Mo Rongzhan and complained, "If it weren't for you, I would not have forgotten to let my mother enter the palace today!"
Hearing her complaint, Mo Rongzhan just raised his eyebrows and nodded. "It's all my fault. Your Highness, please calm down!"
It wasn't like she was really blaming him! Ye Zhen bit her lip gently and looked up at him with shame and annoyance.
Mo Rongzhan almost got angry again. He put down the bowl in his hand. "I'm going to the Imperial Garden for a walk. You and Madam Lu should have a good talk!"
Ye Zhen thought he wanted to go back to Yangxin Palace. "There are a lot of new flowers in the Imperial Garden today. It's good for you to relax and take a walk."
The two came to the door hand in hand. Ye Zhen was still a little reluctant to part with him. If she knew that he had time to accompany her today, she would have asked Pei Shi to enter the palace tomorrow. Maybe he would be busy again tomorrow, and the two of them would have little time to get along after returning to the capital.
"I'll go to the imperial study first to read the memorials, and come back later to accompany you to the Imperial Garden!" Mo Rongzhan said with a smile.
Ye Zhen's eyes instantly lit up like the stars in the sky. "Good!"
Mo Rongzhan looked down at her hand still holding his. Her hand was so small, not even half the size of his. He had to be careful holding it in his palm. He bowed his head and kissed her pink lips with a smile. "You can't bear to part with me, hmm?"
So what if she couldn't bear to part with him? Ye Zhen sucked his tongue and stood on tiptoe to kiss him back.
Mo Rongzhan was stunned for a while, but he would not miss such a good thing. It was rare that she was willing to take the initiative. He held her waist and the two kissed affectionately by the door. The palace maids who had planned to send Mo Rongzhan away lowered their heads to look for gold on the ground.
Eunuch Fu also turned his head and laughed in his heart. Their Emperor was really not tired of the Empress at all. Before the Empress was established, he often slipped to the Lu family. Now it seemed that they were even sweeter than before!
