The Empress Dowager wanted to take this opportunity to bring Liu Zhihua into the Palace as a concubine in advance. After being interrupted by Mo Rongzhan, she could not bring it up again. It was a pity that the time was not right, otherwise she would have asked the Emperor to make Liu Zhihua a guifei.
Romance First
Mo Rongzhan told Ye Zhen to reward everyone, and then let the roasted pig be distributed.
Because he had to enter the mountain tomorrow, Mo Rongzhan did not drink too much wine. He was a little tipsy and asked Ye Zhen to accompany him back to the tent.
"Your Majesty, are you drunk?" Ye Zhen helped him to sit on the couch, smiled and poked his face a few times.
"What do you think?" Mo Rongzhan grabbed her hand and held her in his arms. "If we had stayed there any longer, you would have scratched through our palms."
Ye Rou snorted with a red face. "Don't accuse me wrongly. How would I dare to scratch you? You're just afraid that the Empress Dowager will force you to have some beauties, right?"
Mo Rongzhan laughed and then sighed, "Muhou wasn't this unreasonable in the past."
What kind of occasion was it today? The Empress Dowager wholeheartedly wanted to stuff women to his side, and there were so many officials watching. Although the Empress Dowager's words might not be heard by others, how could those officials not know how to look?
Everyone could see that the Empress Dowager did not like Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen nodded with a bitter smile, "I know."
How could she not know what the Empress Dowager was like in the past? She was like a completely different person from the current her.
"The Empress Dowager has always wanted to go back to the City of Wei to visit her relatives. After this Autumn Hunt, maybe we can let her go back to the City of Wei. She has been in the palace for so many years, maybe she will feel different if she goes back to visit her relatives." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "Last year, Empress Dowager wanted the Cen Family to move to the capital, but I didn't do it well. Empress Dowager will be very happy to know that she can return to the City of Wei."
"The Empress Dowager may not leave the capital at this time."
She felt that the Empress Dowager would not be satisfied if she did not choose a few beauties to enter the palace during the consort selection.
Mo Rongzhan lowered his head and kissed her lips. "Don't think too much. You have me."
"It's because of you that others are eyeing me covetously." Ye Zhen bit his thin lips gently.
"What does other people have to do with me?" Mo Rongzhan laughed hoarsely in a low voice. "Yaoyao, you haven't danced for me yet."
Ye Zhen wrapped her arms around his neck. "What do you want to see me dance?"
"As long as it's you, I will like it." Mo Rongzhan said. For so many years, there had never been a woman who could bring him such soul-stirring emotions like she did. No other woman could compare to her.
"Really?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly, straddled his thighs, gently twisted her waist, and wrapped herself around his body like water. "This concubine has learned a dance before, called Flowing Water!"
Mo Rongzhan's eyes were dark and deep. He panted heavily as he kissed her heavily. His hands skillfully untied the sash of her dress. "Then dance for us."
Ye Zhen patted his shoulder. "Then I'll go down and show you."
"That's good!" Mo Rongzhan dragged her to sit on him. "Yaoyao, move a little."
"Mo Rongzhan!" Ye Zhen gritted her teeth and shouted.
Not long after, ambiguous sounds came from within the tent.
…
…
The Empress Dowager returned to the tent with Liu Zhihua. Her stomach was still full of anger. Today, the Emperor was clearly interested in Liu Zhihua. If Ye Zhen hadn't taken him away, she would have achieved her goal. That damned witch!
"Empress Dowager, you have drunk a lot of wine tonight. Have a cup of scented tea first." Liu Zhihua came over with a cup of tea.
Jin Ping was combing the Empress Dowager's hair. When she heard Liu Zhihua's words, she felt even more that this child was filial. "Aijia knew that you had a good heart. That witch not only bewitched the Emperor, but also became jealous. She is really hateful."
Liu Zhihua knew that the Empress Dowager was talking about the Empress. She bowed her head and dared not answer, but her heart was inevitably a little happy.
Originally, she thought that she would be able to attract the Emperor's attention today. However, with the Empress next to her, the Emperor seemed to have no reaction. She felt disheartened. Now that she saw the Empress Dowager so disgusted with the Empress Dowager, she felt hope again. The Empress Dowager did not like the Empress Dowager. The Emperor will get tired of her one day in the future.
"Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is as beautiful as a fairy. It is normal for the Emperor to dote on her." Liu Zhihua whispered.
"So what if she's beautiful? Using beauty to serve people is not a long term plan. " The Empress Dowager snorted disdainfully, "Zhihua, the Emperor is not a shallow person. He has already seen you today and in the future, he will definitely find your good qualities."
Liu Zhihua nodded shyly, "Zhihua is satisfied serving the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager smiled lightly, "What's so good about being with an old woman in aijia? If you can help the Imperial Family and let aijia have grandchildren soon, aijia will be satisfied."
"Empress Dowager … …" Liu Zhihua stamped her feet in embarrassment.
"Aijia won't tease you. Tomorrow, the Emperor will continue to hunt. It's a pity that you don't know how to ride. Otherwise, you can go into the mountains with him." The Empress Dowager sighed lightly.
Liu Zhihua felt vexed inside. In the past, she had despised riding and archery as something that females should not learn so she did not specially learn it. If she had known that it would be of use today, she would have learned it in the beginning.
She heard that the wild boar today was caught by the Empress. That delicate looking Lu Yaoyao actually had such an ability. Previously, when she heard the Empress Dowager's description, she had thought that she was just a beautiful woman but she found that it was not the case … …
If the Empress was just beautiful, the Emperor wouldn't like her so much.
Liu Zhihua felt that the road to the Palace would be full of challenges but she would not admit defeat.
"Zhihua can stay here with the Empress Dowager." Liu Zhihua said in a low voice.
The Empress Dowager smiled, "Fine, in the future when you enter the Palace, will there be a chance to let the Emperor know how good you are?"
"Empress Dowager, Zhihua will serve you to sleep." Liu Zhihua said gently.
"Alright!" The Empress Dowager nodded lightly.
Lying on the bed, the Empress Dowager's mind felt muddy. She looked at Liu Zhihua through the weak light and faintly remembered that there used to be a person who served her like this.
That person … … seemed to be Lu Yaoyao.
The Empress Dowager thought of the past when she treated Lu Yaoyao as her daughter and felt a burst of regret. At that time, she was deceived by Lu Yaoyao's facade. Such a hypocritical and sinister woman, even the Emperor was kept in the dark by her and did not see clearly what kind of person she was.
She would definitely let the Emperor see Lu Yaoyao's true colors and not continue to be deceived by her.
Before going to sleep, the Empress Dowager once again firmed her mind.
Liu Zhihua silently looked at the Empress Dowager before lowering her head and retreating.
