After Mo Rongzhan left the court, he did not stay in the imperial study but went straight back to the Yong Shou Palace. Ye Zhen had not yet woken up, sleeping soundly with the quilt in her arms. Even when Ming Yu came to find her, she was blocked by Hong Ying outside so that she would not disturb Ye Zhen's sleep.
Last night, they all knew that the Empress did not go to sleep until the latter half of the night.
"Your Majesty." When the palace maids outside saw Mo Rongzhan return at this time, they hurriedly bowed in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan waved his hand and went straight into the bedroom. Seeing that Ye Zhen had not woken up yet, his cold expression quickly softened. He took the memorial and sat down on the soft couch next to him. The bedroom was quiet. For the first time in almost four years, he felt so at ease and happy in the Yong Shou Palace.
"When did you come?" Ye Zhen woke up at some point, holding her chin with one hand and looking at Mo Rongzhan with a smile.
Mo Rongzhan narrowed his eyes at her, his gaze landing on her shoulders. Her clothes were loose and loose, and from his angle, he could vaguely see the pair of snow-white peaks. Furthermore, her fair, jade-like skin was filled with traces of him from last night.
"Cover yourself with the quilt." Mo Rongzhan said faintly, turning his eyes back to the memorial.
"Don't you have morning court today? Why are you back so soon? "Ye Zhen opened the quilt and ran to the soft couch with her cloak.
Mo Rongzhan held her in his arms. "I came back early after the court. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Ye Zhen touched her stomach. She wanted to sleep for a while more. She didn't get up for breakfast today and was about to faint from hunger. "I'm hungry. I want to eat something and sleep again in the afternoon. I don't want to sleep anymore. I slept too long during the day, and I can't sleep at night."
"At night … you don't have to sleep." Mo Rongzhan kissed the back of her neck. Anyway, it was impossible to go to bed so early.
Ye Zhen thought for a while before she understood what he meant. Her cheeks blushed and she glared at him. "Don't do it again tonight … like last night."
"Like last night? Did you feel uncomfortable or didn't you like it? "Mo Rongzhan held her soft little hand and a smile appeared in his burning black eyes.
In fact, she was quite comfortable. She could enjoy it to the extreme every time, but … if it was too many times, she really couldn't stand it. "Then … once is enough."
"Alright." Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows slightly and agreed to her request.
Ye Zhen felt a kind of joy and relief. She called Hong Ying and the others to fetch water to freshen up. Dai Mei went to bring lunch.
"Did Ming Xi and Ming Yu come?" Ye Zhen asked.
Hong Ying glanced at Mo Rongzhan, "Niang niang, the princess came over this morning. Knowing that you were sleeping, she went back."
"Oh, go and call Mingxi and Mingyu over for lunch." After dressing up, she came to Mo Rongzhan's side and saw that he was still reviewing the memorials. She asked curiously, "You didn't bring all the memorials from the imperial study, did you?"
"Yes, it's all accumulated." Mo Rongzhan put down the memorials in his hands and pulled her into his embrace. "It was zhen who didn't allow anyone to disturb you. Ming Yu is already gradually growing up. We can't let her barge into the sleeping palace like this again. Also, zhen has already issued a decree today to have children of suitable age be brought into the palace for you to look over. Pick a few study companions for Ming Xi and Ming Yu."
Ye Zhen had such a plan. "I can choose Ming Yu's study companions, but Ming Xi's … You have to look over them."
He had so many expectations for Ming Xi. When they were young, they were study companions. In the future, when they grew up, they would be Ming Xi's right-hand men. Therefore, he still needed to choose carefully. She felt that boys should be seen by Mo Rongzhan himself.
"Well, zhen will look over them first." Mo Rongzhan nodded with a smile.
"Then I will set up a banquet in the palace and let them bring the little girls into the palace. You can't see them carefully alone. With more people, you can observe them more carefully." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Besides, those noblewomen will certainly hand in their cards to enter the palace soon. I don't want to deal with them one by one, so let them enter the palace together."
Mo Rongzhan rubbed her hand. "It's up to you. As for the royal family, if they want to pay their respects to you, don't see them if you don't want to."
Speaking of the royal family, Ye Zhen remembered that she was placed in Chengde Villa by him at that time for the sake of these royal family members. She seemed to have colluded with Nanyue.
"Was the incident of Chengde Villa releasing poisonous fish related to the royal family?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Yes." Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. "Marquis Ping and the Prince of the East have long since colluded with Cao Xingyu in secret. There's also Royal Prince Wen and Luo Jincheng … These people are also related to the case of the Pan Family and the Feng Family all those years ago. These two unjust cases were caused by their combined efforts. The late emperor simply turned a blind eye to them … Now, it can be said that the imperial clan has been completely suppressed. However, whether or not they are loyal to us is unknown."
Although Ye Zhen didn't know how Mo Rongzhan treated the merchants and royal family of Nanyue at that time, it was conceivable that his mood at that time was not very good. It was estimated that those people's fate was not very good.
"There is still no news of the Sixth Wangye." Ye Zhen buried her face in Mo Rongzhan's chest. Murong Ke disappeared after solving the matter of Nanyue. Although he did not say where he was going, they all knew that he must have gone to sea to find her.
Thinking of Murong Ke's deep love for her, Ye Zhen still felt a little sad.
For him, she was moved and guilty because she could not repay him.
Mo Rongzhan remembered the last time he met Murong Ke. At that time, when he learned that Yao Yao had been taken away, Murong Ke desperately came to the capital to find him. The two even had a fight. He said that if he saw Yao Yao again, he would not endure it anymore.
If Murong Ke knew that Ye Zhen had returned, what would he do?
Just as they were talking, Ming Yu ran in. When she saw Mo Rongzhan holding Ye Zhen, she immediately rushed over. "Father, I want a hug too."
Ye Zhen's cheeks blushed and sat up from Mo Rongzhan's lap. She thought that Mo Rongzhan was right. In the future, she could not let Ming Yu break into the bedroom like this. What if … she saw something she shouldn't see? It's time to find an aunt to teach her the rules, otherwise, her temper will become wilder and wilder.
"In the future, you have to let the palace maids inform you before you come in, understand?" Mo Rongzhan picked up his daughter and looked at her flushed cheeks. He also thought that he should have some rules for his daughter.
Compared to Ye Zhen, Ming Xi was much more sensible. He had been waiting outside until Ye Zhen asked him to come in.
Mo Rongzhan told the two children about finding a study companion. When Ming Yu heard that she was about to have a companion, she clapped her hands happily. Ming Xi was silent for a moment and said to Mo Rongzhan, "Father, can I choose my own study companion?"
"Do you want to choose by yourself?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Ming Xi nodded seriously, "Can I? Father? "
Mo Rongzhan's face rose slightly. "Good."
