The air in the bedchamber was filled with a faint fragrance. Hong Ling and several other maids stood shyly outside the bedchamber. The curtain fluttered without wind, and the fragmented sounds brought a taste of extravagance and ambiguity.
"Your Majesty …" Ye Zhen's voice was hoarse and charming. "Aren't you going to the morning court today?"
Mo Rongzhan's breathing was heavy. He only uttered a single word and then fell silent. All his attention was on her.
Not knowing how long it had been, the movement in the curtain stopped. Ye Zhen's whole body was limp in Mo Rongzhan's arms.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable again?" Mo Rongzhan's eyes were filled with worry. How could this little girl be so delicate? Every time he did something hard, he could make her not want for a long time.
Ye Zhen's white, jade-like cheeks glowed. She shook her head gently in his arms. In fact, she was not uncomfortable. It was just that he had been too unrestrained these days. Although she could get extreme pleasure from it, it was too … absurd.
Mo Rongzhan kissed her cheek, the smile in his eyes deepened. "Sleep for a while. I will see you after the morning court."
"Mmm." Ye Zhen responded lazily, turned over from his arms and got under the quilt.
Looking at her smooth back covered with his marks, his throat moved and he sighed helplessly. This was not the first time. How could he be more and more inseparable from her? He didn't feel bored at all. Every time, he could feel the unprecedented beauty. He kissed her shoulder and whispered, "Someone should come to pay their respects to you today. You don't have to get up early deliberately. If you don't want to see them, don't."
Ye Zhen turned around at once. "Who will come to see me?"
Mo Rongzhan looked down at her surprised eyes. This girl didn't feel like she had become an empress yet. Since she was already in the palace, other concubines would naturally try to please her. "Other people in the palace."
"Oh …" Ye Zhen immediately understood. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him. "Your other women? I won't see them."
"Then I won't see them." Mo Rongzhan chuckled, his slender fingers gently touching her small mouth. "You said you won't be jealous. How long has it been since I saw them? Is it worth it for you to be angry?"
Ye Zhen curled her lips. "I'm not angry. They came to me to pay their respects, but to please you, not to please me."
Mo Rongzhan bit her earlobe. "Do you think it's so easy to please me?"
"You go to the morning court." Ye Zhen remembered the scene of her trying to please him last night and pushed his arm with a blush.
It was indeed late, so Mo Rongzhan had to stop teasing him. He got up and called the palace maids outside to come in and serve him. Ye Zhen glared at him, then laughed and asked the palace maids to leave and called Eunuch Fu in.
On the first day, when he got up, it was a palace maid who came in to help him change his clothes. The little girl looked unhappy and later said that she didn't want other women to see his naked body, so he had to let Ford come in to help him.
When Eunuch Fu came in, he only saw the emperor. He hurriedly stepped forward to help him freshen up, thinking that the emperor really doted on the empress. He had never seen any concubine still sleeping when the emperor got up. Even Imperial Consort Lu, who used to be the emperor's favorite, respectfully sent the emperor to the door of the hall.
Mo Rongzhan put on a bright yellow dragon robe, lifted the curtain, and wanted to say a few more words to Ye Zhen, but found that she had fallen asleep again. His eyes flashed with a smile, and he kissed her on the cheek before leaving with light footsteps.
Ye Zhen slept until the sun was high in the sky.
While she was combing her hair, Jianjia came in from outside. "Reporting to the Empress, the other concubines in the palace are asking for an audience outside to pay their respects to you."
She really came …
Ye Zhen looked up at herself in the mirror. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but after the wedding, her complexion was better than before. Her whole person looked more delicate and beautiful. She was afraid that after being tossed around by Mo Rongzhan like this, her complexion would be very poor.
She realized that the spiritual spring was getting better and better at nourishing people.
"Let them go to the side hall." Ye Zhen said. Before, she was not the Empress and did not live in the palace, so naturally, she could avoid these concubines. Now that she has become the Empress, it is impossible to avoid them.
She knew that Mo Rongzhan had hardly touched them, but after all, they were his women in name. It was not a good feeling.
"Empress, do you want to wear this Nine Phoenix Hairpin?" Hong Ling asked in a low voice. She wished she could dress Ye Zhen up even more beautifully, so that those ill-intentioned concubines would retreat in the face of overwhelming difficulties.
Ye Zhen glanced at it. "No, just like this."
Dai Mei said with a smile, "Even if the Empress doesn't wear rouge, she is still the best in the whole capital."
Hong Ling nodded seriously, "Yes, our Empress is the first beauty in the world."
"The more you say, the more exaggerated it is." Ye Zhen gave them a funny look. "Well, let's go and meet them."
In the side hall, all the imperial concubines were standing nervously. Among them, the ones with the highest rank were Hu Yue 'er and An Xiuzhen. When Hu Yue' er had just entered the palace, she had been summoned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to serve the Emperor. However, only she knew that the Emperor had not touched her at all at that time. Even so, the Emperor still promoted her to Wan Pin because of her obedience. She was the highest rank other than the Empress.
After her was An Xiuzhen and An Xiuzhen.
There were more than a dozen others who promised to be selected from among the beauties. They had never even seen the Emperor's face in the palace. Today, they all came to pay their respects to Ye Zhen.
When Ye Zhen came to the side hall, she saw a group of beautiful concubines standing there looking at each other.
"The Empress has arrived." When the palace maid outside the side hall saw her, she immediately called out loudly.
Everyone immediately looked back. They had all heard that the Empress was unparalleled in beauty. They had never seen her real face before. Today, when they saw her, they knew that the legendary description was already polite.
What is magnificent, what is peerless, what is peerless, it probably refers to a person like the Empress.
Originally, they had carefully dressed themselves this morning, but now it was difficult to describe the inferiority complex in their hearts.
"This concubine pays respect to the Empress. May the Empress be blessed." Hu Yue 'er was the first to react. When Ye Zhen walked into the side hall, she had already knelt down to salute.
The others recovered in an instant and hurriedly knelt down to salute.
Ye Zhen sat down and looked at them with a smile. "Rise. We are all sisters. There is no need to make such a big bow in the future."
Saying the word 'sisters', Ye Zhen felt unspeakably awkward in her heart. If it weren't for the face of the Empress, she would not have said such a thing.
"Thank you, Empress." Hu Yue 'er stood up with her head bowed and stood aside obediently.
An Xiuzhen raised her eyes and quietly looked at Ye Zhen. "I haven't congratulated the Empress on her wedding. This concubine wishes the Empress and the Emperor to grow old together and have a son soon."
