The news of Elder Zhuo's residence in the capital was not hidden from Mo Rongzhan, but he was not clear about what happened in Huguo Temple.
After returning to the palace, Aunt Cheng did not report the matter to Eunuch Fu. She only said that the Empress Dowager met the princess in Huguo Temple and sent her away without saying a few words.
In addition to dealing with the affairs of the court, Mo Rongzhan was most concerned about his wedding with Ye Zhen. Naturally, he felt distressed when he learned that the Empress Dowager had neglected her.
"Let Aunt Cheng speak well of the princess in front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager used to treat Yao Yao as her own daughter." Mo Rongzhan frowned and said to Eunuch Fu. He did not understand how the Empress Dowager's attitude towards Yao Yao changed so quickly.
Was it because Ye Zhen insisted on going to Dongqing and did not stay?
Eunuch Fu answered in a low voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant knows what to do."
Mo Rongzhan looked at the memorials on the desk, "I've been reading memorials for a few days. It's time to go out for a walk."
"Your Majesty, you mean … you want to go to the imperial garden?" Eunuch Fu looked at him doubtfully.
"I'm going out to relax," Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Oh, that means I'm going to see the princess! Eunuch Fu covered his mouth and laughed. How could he not see through the Emperor's mind?
Mo Rongzhan looked at him coldly, "Get out."
Eunuch Fu answered without fear, but in his heart, he felt pity for the many concubines in the harem. Many of them had never seen the Emperor since they entered the palace, let alone being favored.
If the Emperor treated the princess so wholeheartedly, she would be spoiled to the heavens in the future. It would be even more difficult for the other concubines in the palace to stand out.
Recently, there were quite a lot of people who had sent favors to him. If he really accepted them, he could retire early from the palace. He was not a fool. The princess was the future Empress. If he wanted to please her, it would be to please the Empress.
Mo Rongzhan thought that he could see Yao Yao tonight. His mood became more relaxed as he read the memorials. Her Xiao Qi was not at home.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager wants to invite you for dinner tonight?" Eunuch Fu came in from outside and told Mo Rongzhan the words of the people from the Palace of Benevolence and Peace.
"Tell the Empress Dowager that I am busy with official affairs and will not go today," Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Eunuch Fu responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
When the Empress Dowager, who was in the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, heard the palace maid's reply, she was so angry that her heart ached. Look, this was her good son. She had only given Lu Yaoyao a little face, and now he didn't even come to eat with her.
Aunt Cheng looked at the enraged Empress Dowager and felt a wave of fear in her heart. She had been at the Empress Dowager's side for dozens of years and had never seen the Empress Dowager so easily angered. Furthermore, because of a small matter, the Empress Dowager would suspect and blame others. This kind of temperament was completely different from the previous Empress Dowager.
"Jinrong, you may leave." The Empress Dowager waved her hand tiredly and sent Aunt Cheng away.
"Yes, empress dowager." Aunt Cheng understood that her position in the Empress Dowager's heart was not as good as before, but she did not feel disappointed. Instead, she felt relaxed. She did not need to wait on the Empress Dowager, so there would be no problems.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Aunt Cheng's back and rubbed the space between her brows. "Call Yao Ye over to read to aijia. Aijia likes to hear her voice."
The palace maid answered and left.
…
…
Mo Rongzhan was already familiar with the way to the Lu family's house. When night fell and the lanterns were lit, he had already arrived at Ye Zhen's courtyard. When he was about to enter the house, a figure immediately appeared and stopped him.
"Who?" The other party was obviously very vigilant. Knowing that he was not a servant of the family, she attacked him at the same time as she spoke.
Mo Rongzhan easily dodged her moves, and in a few moves, he was able to push her back.
Jiang Jia was startled and looked at the person under the moonlight. She was startled. "Your Majesty?"
How could the Emperor be here?
"Where is your princess?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.
"In … in the house." Even though Jiang Jia was always calm and steady, she was still frightened by Mo Rongzhan's appearance.
Hong Ying, who heard the movement, came out of the side room and saw him. She was also stunned. Why did the Emperor come again?
Mo Rongzhan ignored the suspicious eyes of the two maids and lifted his foot into the house.
Hong Ying was shocked. The girl was still bathing inside!
Unfortunately, she had no time to stop him. Mo Rongzhan had already skillfully pushed the door open.
"Did the Emperor come at night before?" Jiang Jia asked Hong Ying in a low voice.
"Before, there was Xiao Qi. Even if the Emperor came, he could not see the princess." If they had known earlier, they would have brought Xiao Qi back with them.
Jiang Jia asked curiously, "Who is Xiao Qi?"
"A white wolf raised by the princess." Hong Ying said.
Ye Zhen just came out of the bathtub. She just put on an undergarment. As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw Mo Rongzhan coming in.
"Why are you here?" Ye Zhen was startled and hugged her chest with her hands. She didn't even wear undergarments. She was going to sleep, but he was here. How could she dare to dress like this?
Mo Rongzhan looked at her with burning eyes. "I haven't seen you for several days, so I wanted to come and see you."
"You can't come openly. Every time you come in the middle of the night." Ye Zhen gave him an angry look. "You turn around first, I'll change my clothes."
"I came in aboveboard," the Emperor said. Mo Rongzhan said, hugging her back when she was about to turn around. "Sit down, let's talk."
Ye Zhen shouted angrily, "Let's talk, let's talk first."
Mo Rongzhan looked down and saw all the scenery inside her open collar. His eyes became dark and deep, and his hand on her waist slid into her lapel. "Did you miss me?"
There was a thin layer of callus on his palm. When he kneaded and pinched, it brought a burst of numbness all over her body.
"Yes, don't be like this." On the way to the capital, he had become familiar with all the sensitive parts of her body. As soon as he approached her, all her feelings came back.
"Don't you like it, or don't you want it?" Mo Rongzhan chuckled and kissed her lips.
His breath penetrated her senses at once. Ye Zhen knew that if she refused, it would make him stronger. She had to lean into his arms and let him take what he wanted. Only when their breath became unstable did he let her go.
"Did you come to me because you knew that I met the Empress Dowager in Hu Guo Temple?" Ye Zhen buried her face in his arms. It was not difficult to guess the reason why he came to see her today.
Mo Rongzhan laughed hoarsely. "I missed you for a few days. Can't I come to see you?"
"If we meet every day, you will be tired of it." Ye Zhen laughed. Wouldn't he be tired of her being with him day and night after she entered the palace?
"Can I be tired of you?" Mo Rongzhan chuckled, bowed his head and kissed her again. His hands ignited her body.
Ye Zhen almost turned into a pool of water in his arms.
"Yao Yao, you have grown up." Mo Rongzhan kissed her collarbone and laughed hoarsely.
