The incomparably handsome His Majesty the Emperor was already lying on the bed. Moreover, he slept very domineeringly in the middle of the bed. His slender limbs were spread out, taking up so much of the spacious dragon bed that there was no space for anyone to lie down.
The corner of Su Yu's mouth twitched. Looking at the Emperor's slightly closed eyes, he considered whether or not he should sleep on the soft mattress on the floor.
An Hong-chul opened his eyes and slightly frowned, "What are you standing there for? Do you want zhen to respectfully invite you up?" After saying this, he lay down on the bed and made room for Su Yu.
Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he climbed up and obediently laid down next to the Emperor.
The two of them didn't say anything for a while. After a moment of silence, the Emperor, who was sleeping inside, slowly moved over and gently sniffed Su Yu's hair. Su Yu's body immediately tensed up, "Em- Your Majesty … …"
"Hm?" An Hong-chul made a sound in response and moved closer to Su Yu's side.
"The candlelight hasn't been extinguished … …" After saying this, Su Yu wanted to bite off his tongue. He said it as if he couldn't wait to do something that could only be done in the dark. In reality, he was just too nervous and had nothing to say.
An Hong-chul didn't say anything. He reached out and pulled on the silk sash inside the bed. The crisp sound of a bell rang outside the door. Immediately, a palace maid came in and quickly extinguished the candlelight. Then, she silently retreated.
The hall immediately sank into darkness. Su Yu couldn't help but feel even more nervous.
After some rustling sounds, a warm body came over. Su Yu quickly reached out and pushed against the Emperor's chest that was about to press down on him, "Your Majesty, you, what are you doing?"
"Why do you have so much nonsense to say when you're just serving me in bed!" An Hong-chul's eyes that could see things at night naturally saw the panic on Su Yu's face. He supported himself with one hand by Su Yu's side and grabbed Su Yu's hand that was pressed against his chest. He pulled it over his head and pressed it against the pillow. Hmph, you've already served me in bed so many times, what's the point of pretending to be chaste?
Intimidated by the emperor's domineering actions, Su Yu closed her eyes in resignation. The emperor's appearance didn't look like he was impotent at all. Previously, he didn't favor the imperial concubines because he didn't like women. And now, in the entire palace, he was the only male consort. If he stuck out his head, he would be stabbed. Since it was only a matter of time, what was the point of resisting?
Seeing that Su Yu stopped moving, An Hong-chul snorted coldly and let go of his hand.
Su Yu felt the person beside him lie down again. A slender arm wrapped around his neck. Then, that warm body climbed up and rested its head on his shoulder. A slender leg pressed against his leg. After finding a comfortable position, it stopped moving.
Not moving anymore?
Su Yu opened his eyes and stared blankly at the top of the bed. The emperor's body temperature continuously passed through his thin inner shirt. His slightly cold hair piled up on his neck, and it was a little itchy. There was no smell of spices, only a faint fragrance of sunlight. This smell was somewhat familiar to him.
After waiting for a long time, the emperor still didn't move. Could it be that the so-called serving him in bed meant being the emperor's pillow?
After staring blankly for a long time, he slowly lowered his head. Su Yu couldn't see the emperor's face. With the weak moonlight, he could only see his long eyelashes and the slightly raised corners of his eyes.
"You're not allowed to sleep before zhen falls asleep." A clear voice came from his chest. It was cold.
"Yes." Su Yu obediently replied.
An Hong-chul was satisfied. He rubbed against Su Yu's shoulder and relaxed his body.
Two hours later, Su Yu was shaken awake.
"Stupid slave, zhen hasn't fallen asleep yet!" The emperor was lying on the pillow next to him as he angrily glared at Su Yu.
"Emperor, please forgive me!" Su Yu drowsily turned around to look at the emperor. An Hong-chul yawned and went back to sleep.
Two hours later, Su Yu was shaken awake again.
"Stupid slave, you fell asleep again!" Su Yu opened his eyes and jumped in fright. He saw the emperor's handsome face in front of him, the tip of his nose right in front of him.
"Emperor, did you have a nightmare?" Su Yu moved his head back and looked at An Hong-chul's sparkling eyes helplessly. The emperor should have a habit of waking up in the middle of the night, but he insisted that he fell asleep early.
"Humph, how could zhen have a nightmare?" An Hong-chul turned around and stretched his arms on the bed before falling asleep again.
Su Yu had already lost his temper after being tossed around. After waiting for a while, he heard the emperor's steady breathing. He couldn't help reaching out and gently rubbed the emperor's head. He made a face at the back of his head.
The next day, when Su Yu woke up, the Emperor was already gone. Instead, there was a golden kitten nestled in his neck, sleeping warmly.
"Sauce, why did you run over here?" Su Yu happily kissed the kitten's furry head.
The emperor who had not yet woken up unhappily reached out his paw and pressed it against Su Yu's mouth.
Su Yu sat up and looked around. The hall was empty without a single person. There was also a bright yellow inner garment on the bed. It was the one that the emperor had taken off last night before he came over.
Thinking of last night's "bedside service", Su Yu couldn't help covering his face with one hand. He was really curious about the emperor. How did that guy run to the Su family to take away sauce and even sleep on his bed … …
Although he was curious, Su Yu didn't have the guts to ask. He lowered his head and poked the golden kitten that was sleeping like a furball: "Sauce, will I be punished for not helping the emperor wake up?"
An Hong-chul couldn't take it anymore after being annoyed by Su Yu. He jumped up and used his paw to hook the silk sash on the bed.
Not long after, Wang Gonggong walked in alone and bowed to him with a smile, "The emperor has gone to court. Niangniang can return to Ye Xiao Palace. Breakfast has already been prepared for you." As he said this, he secretly glanced at the kitten nestled in Su Yu's arms.
Su Yu dressed himself and the kitten automatically climbed onto his shoulder. It was obvious that it wanted to leave together. "Gong-gong, can I take it to Ye Xiao Palace?" After all, it was the emperor's cat. She didn't know if she could take it away as she pleased.
"Of course," Wang Gonggong smiled, "But niangniang must take good care of the sacred cat. You can't let it eat anything bad, and you can't let other people hold it."
"I know." When Su Yu heard that he could openly take the sauce away, he was instantly happy.
The carriage was already waiting outside. Su Yu took the carriage and left Bei Bei Palace. Wang Gonggong stood in front of the jade steps with a disappointed expression. A little taijian ran over to ask: "Gong-gong, it's getting late. The emperor hasn't gotten up yet. Is he still going to court today?"
"No." Wang Gonggong sighed. He turned and went to the front court to inform the Prime Minister that he wouldn't be going to court today.
Su Yu, who didn't sleep well last night, sat in the carriage and kept yawning. When they arrived at Ye Xiao Palace, Yang Gonggong hurriedly helped him down. Xiao Shun looked at Su Yu with a worried expression, "Niangniang, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Su Yu was confused. What could be wrong with him? Then he reacted and slowly turned his head to look at the curious Xiao Shun. He instantly understood. He coughed lightly and said in a cold voice, "Don't worry about things that you shouldn't worry about."
"Yes." Xiao Shun hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to ask more.
As expected, Ye Xiao Palace already had exquisite food laid out. There were six dishes, four baskets of pastries, and two types of porridge. It was very sumptuous.
Su Yu was now a second-rank fei. The food was naturally very high. As the first concubine favored by the emperor, the people in the palace naturally didn't dare to be negligent. They gave the best things.
The fragrant soup dumplings were dipped in vinegar, leaving a lingering fragrance in their mouths. Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He was good at making seafood, and other dishes, especially pastries, were his weak points. The food of the imperial chefs wasn't easy to taste. He couldn't resist eating another one.
The golden kitten sat on the table and used its claws to push the food in front of it back and forth in disgust.
Su Yu saw this and used his chopsticks to pick out the shrimp from the shrimp dumplings. He let it cool and put it in the bowl in front of the kitten, "Eat some first. I'll make something delicious for you later."
An Hong-chul reluctantly lowered his head and licked the tasteless shrimp. He bared his teeth in dissatisfaction. He was already tired of eating these things made by the imperial chefs.
In the previous dynasty, the imperial censor was very angry when he learned that the emperor had stopped attending court because he favored a new male fei.
"The emperor's health finally got better. I didn't expect that he would be affected by beauty again. The misfortune of the country ah!" The imperial censor jumped for a while and then angrily turned to go home. He was going to write a ten thousand word memorial to be presented tomorrow.
The prime minister didn't change his expression and told everyone to return to the yamen to do their work. In any case, the emperor not attending court was a common occurrence. Everyone was used to it. But … A dark light flashed through Lu Maogong's eyes. He hadn't heard of the emperor favoring a concubine before. This male fei was really worth paying attention to.
And the licentious and tyrannical emperor was currently immersed in the gentleness of Xian fei. Yu Xian Yu died.
Su Yu took out the yuanshellfish meat that he bought before entering the palace. He was afraid that it would spoil, so he had already fried it at home. Now he took it out and heated it up before eating it. Knowing that sauces like to have flavor and have a crispy texture, Su Yu simmered it with seasoning and stock. Then he poured oil over it and used a flower knife to cut it into the shape of a small shell. It was very beautiful.
Su Yu walked to the waterside pavilion in the middle of the lake with a plate of freshly made yuanshellfish biscuits. The kitten was lying on a soft cushion and lazily basking in the sun. The morning sun wasn't scorching. The golden fur was warm and soft under the sun.
The waterside pavilion didn't have a roof. There was a wooden platform on the stone floor with a soft cushion and a low table. Su Yu placed the plate on the low table. Xiao Shun immediately poured a cup of hot tea for him. He picked up a small biscuit and brought it to the mouth of the squinting old man cat. The old man cat lifted his eyelids and glanced at it before lazily rolling it into his mouth.
After Su Yu ate breakfast in the morning, she made him a bowl of fresh fish soup, so he wasn't hungry at the moment.
Su Yu was a little sleepy from being basked in the sun. He simply laid down on the soft cushion and fed the old man one biscuit while he ate one himself. One person and one cat were dispirited with nothing to do.
Xiao Shun led an unfamiliar young eunuch through the nine winding corridors and walked over. Yang Gonggong stopped the young eunuch from approaching the waterside pavilion. He had him report back to Su Yu when he was ten steps away.
"Reporting to niangniang, a young eunuch from Imperial Consort Lu's palace has come to pass on a message. He wants you to go to Yuluan Palace," Yang Gonggong said in a low voice.
