On the way, Xiao Yuanzhao had ordered for the imperial kitchen to make a table full of good dishes to be placed in Taihe Palace. He didn't pay attention when he gave the order, but when he saw the dishes on the table, he found that most of the dishes he ordered were Chu Xiang's favorite dishes. He often sat close to her at dinnertime, touching her leg or arm, and without knowing it, he had memorized all her preferences and preferences.
His mood was a bit complicated. He went to find Chu Xiang every day mostly because it was fun. He could relax at Chu Xiang's place. Every time he left with a smile on his face, his mood would be better for a long time. But now that he thought about it, shouldn't he end this game?
As an emperor, it wasn't a good thing to pay too much attention to a woman. His imperial father had fallen for women, which was why he passed away early and was taken over by the Prince Regent. He didn't want to follow in his imperial father's footsteps.
Chu Xiang noticed his absent-mindedness and asked with concern: "What is Emperor thinking about? Weren't you very happy just now? I thought you were going to tell me some good news, so why do you look like you're worried now? "
Xiao Yuanzhao's heart trembled. He was indeed too relaxed in front of her and unconsciously became absent-minded. This was very inappropriate. Also, Chu Xiang was a bit too sensitive, she could even sense that something was wrong with his mood. He couldn't give power to such a smart woman, otherwise, his future imperial concubines and children would be in her hands, which was too dangerous.
Xiao Yuanzhao calmly revealed a smile, "I'm not worried, I'm just a bit tired today. Zhen does have a good news to tell imperial gui fei today. The original Minister of Revenue was not strict in managing the family and was incompetent. Zhen ordered him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors and let your father take over the position of Minister of Revenue. Zhen also gave him three months to collect the loans from the national treasury. As long as he does well, zhen will put him in an important position. At that time, the other officials will look at him in a higher light and won't dare to offend him. "
Chu Xiang didn't expect his father to have real power so soon. Although it was just a change of department, it was different from the situation where he was just a figurehead before. The people in charge of money were tough. Which department didn't beg for money?
However, the Emperor was really a dog. He actually gave his father a difficult task. Collecting loans was a task that offended the Emperor, and it would be extremely difficult. If he did it well, it would naturally be good. If he didn't do it well, then he would offend people and become a laughingstock, losing his prestige to speak of.
But it could barely be considered a promotion. She smiled in surprise and grabbed Xiao Yuanzhao's arm, "This concubine thanks Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
Xiao Yuan Zhao almost blurted out the word "presumptuous". This damned imperial gui consort actually dared to call him a dog in her heart? She was even extremely dissatisfied with his arrangement. She was really daring and didn't know her place. However, Chu Xiang looked so surprised that he had no reason to scold her. Otherwise, his mind-reading ability might be exposed.
Xiao Yuan Zhao held his breath and maintained his smile. He wanted to push Chu Xiang away, but he still wanted to hear what she was thinking. She always had so many rebellious and disorderly thoughts. If he didn't listen, he wouldn't be at ease.
But he was a dignified son. How could he swallow this?
His mind was sharp. He instantly thought of how Chu Xiang hated serving him in bed, especially when he had other women. He raised an arm to hold Chu Xiang's waist and asked with a smile: "How does beloved consort want to thank zhen? Zhen heard the imperial physician say beloved consort's body is much better. How about … … zhen stays here today and sleeps with beloved consort? "
Chu Xiang quickly lowered her eyes to cover her surprised gaze. She blushed: "It's not convenient for me to serve Your Majesty these days. Also … … my wound still hurts!"
After that, she turned her body away as if she was extremely shy and chatty. After all, the original host had never served him in bed. Of course she would be shy about this kind of thing.
However, what she was thinking was — — if the Emperor had to stay and do something, then she would drug him.
Xiao Yuan Zhao's heart jumped and he couldn't hold it in anymore. His face instantly darkened. What did she mean by drug him? She wanted to kill the Emperor?
This thought flashed in his mind for a moment before it was eliminated. The Chu Family was now loyal to him. They wouldn't have any thoughts of betraying him.
Just as he thought of this, he heard Chu Xiang's thoughts. She wanted him to fall asleep and not be able to do anything. She had to leave the palace quickly. Sleeping with another woman was too disgusting!
Xiao Yuan Zhao's face darkened even more. She wanted to leave the palace? Where did she want to go? How could she leave?
Also, she actually felt that he was disgusting???
Chu Xiang had just refused to serve him in bed and his face fell. Chu Xiang and the others didn't find it strange. They just thought that it was his first time trying to please an imperial concubine and he was unhappy because he didn't succeed. Chu Xiang moved to the side. Her chest wasn't high either: "What's wrong? Is the Emperor not happy? "
The warmth in his arms suddenly left. At the same time, Chu Xiang's thoughts also left. Xiao Yuan Zhao suppressed his anger and adjusted his mood. He held Chu Xiang's hand: "How could that be? Zhen just felt that the Imperial Academy of Medicine didn't do their best. My beloved concubine's wound is still hurting. Tomorrow, Zhen will ask someone to send some precious herbs over to help my beloved concubine recuperate. "
"En." Chu Xiang only responded. Xiao Yuan Zhao didn't hear what she was thinking. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her, "What's wrong? Zhen thinks that you're unhappy. " He whispered in Chu Xiang's ear, "Zhen will stay tonight. I won't do anything, I'll just sleep with my beloved concubine, okay?"
He wanted to know how Chu Xiang was going to leave the palace and where she was going to leave the palace.
And Chu Xiang instantly thought of two words — — pervert!
But Chu Xiang was pulled by him and was very close to him. Her hands were on his body and she just happened to touch his abdominal muscles. She couldn't help but sigh. This Emperor looked very thin, but his body was very good. He actually had firm abdominal muscles. It must be very comfortable to hug.
At the same time, she reached out her hands to hug Xiao Yuan Zhao's waist. Her face was on his firm chest as she gently said: "Alright, then the Emperor will accompany me."
A male dog's waist, it was really comfortable to hug. Anyway, the Emperor was still pure right now. Being together with him didn't count as sharing with other women. She could wait until he touched other women in the future before leaving. Before that, he would just let her off.
Xiao Yuan Zhao's expression became a little strange. It was like anger, but also like embarrassment. Damn it, she called him a dog again! What male dog's waist? He clearly had a dragon's waist!
He hugged Chu Xiang. He couldn't push her away or continue hugging her. He kept feeling like he was being taken advantage of by her.
What was wrong with this woman? How could she be so shameless? She was actually coveting his dragon body in her heart! She still had the nerve to call him a pervert. He saw that she was the real pervert.
Chu Xiang laid in his arms and didn't see his expression, but other people did. They all lowered their heads to hold back their laughter. They thought that Xiao Yuan Zhao wanted to be intimate with Chu Xiang but was afraid of touching Chu Xiang's wound, so he was holding back. This really was a beautiful misunderstanding, but it perfectly covered up Xiao Yuan Zhao's momentary loss of composure. He quickly returned to normal.
He casually found an excuse to quickly leave. He kept feeling that if he stayed, his innocence would be tarnished by the imperial gui fei. Thinking of the word "innocence," his face became extremely dark. He really had been affected by Chu Xiang. What innocence? What was wrong with him, the Emperor, having three palaces and six courtyards? Chu Xiang was the only one who used his chastity to measure his value. It was as if she would ignore him if he touched any woman.
Xiao Yuan Zhao couldn't help but reflect. Why did he pretend to pamper her in the beginning? He only found that her inner thoughts were different from Bie Rao's and was curious. In order to naturally touch her and hear what she was thinking, he pretended to pamper her. In the end, she thought that he was using her to confuse the Regent, so she took advantage of the situation and ended up like this.
Chu Xiang usually didn't greet him when she saw him. She didn't follow the rules and that was fine. Now, she even called him a dog, despised him for having a woman, wanted to drug him, and wanted to leave the palace. She was getting bolder. She pretended on the surface but dared to think of anything.
Xiao Yuan Zhao was still very angry when he returned to his bedroom. Usually, he would read for a while before going to bed, but today, he couldn't take in a single word. He originally wanted to celebrate, but now, there wasn't any joy left. Only his anger towards Chu Xiang was left.
Originally, he felt that he paid too much attention to Chu Xiang and wanted to restrain himself and stop looking for Chu Xiang. In the end, he learned that Chu Xiang wanted to leave the palace. He kept thinking about this and wanted to listen to Chu Xiang's inner thoughts.
For the first time, Xiao Yuan Zhao felt that having the ability to read minds was not good. He was addicted to reading minds, and he could not control himself from spending time with Chu Xiang. He wanted to know everything that she was thinking.
But the matter of an imperial concubine was still under the jurisdiction of the court. After being angry for a while, he put this matter aside. He then called out his hidden guards and adjusted his plan to overthrow the Regent.
After he left, Chu Xiang felt a bit of regret. She had already thought things through and wanted to have a relationship with him. She had been happy for a while, so why did he leave? Wasn't he going to sleep with her?
Her days in the palace were very boring. Although she had used many rewards in exchange for Imperial Concubine Li singing and dancing from time to time, only cultivating at night was truly very boring. If the Emperor could stay every night, the days would definitely be much more lively. Otherwise … she could chase after the Emperor? She had never dated the Emperor before.
After Chu Xiang thought things through, she felt that the last thing that she needed to guard against in the palace had disappeared. As long as Xiao Yuan Zhao did not touch another woman, she could talk about love with him as she pleased. She could treat it as a temporary respite from living in the inner palace.
Her entire body relaxed, and Chu Xiang did not think about cultivating. Lying down in the soft blankets, she fell asleep comfortably.
Xiao Yuanzhao, on the other hand, had nightmares the entire night. One moment, he dreamed that Chu Xiang had drugged him, and the next moment, he dreamed that he had turned into a dog. He even dreamed that Chu Xiang had pressed him down on the bed and sullied his innocence.
Xiao Yuan Zhao woke up on his own in the morning. Feeling that his pants were wet, his face darkened once more. He was so angry that his teeth itched, wishing that he could immediately catch Chu Xiang and take care of her!
Liang Zhong brought the palace servants to help him get out of bed. Noticing his situation, he quickly lowered his head, holding back his laughter with great difficulty. At the same time, his impression of the Imperial Gui Fei increased once more. The Emperor clearly liked the Imperial Gui Fei very much. He wanted to pamper the Imperial Gui Fei, but he was afraid that he would offend her, thus he ran back to his own palace. He would rather hold it in than go look for the Fourth Imperial Concubine.
It seemed that the Imperial Gui Fei really was the most favoured in the inner palace. Before the Emperor changed his attitude, he had to treat the Imperial Gui Fei as another master. He absolutely could not neglect her.
Aside from Zi Yu and Zi Yue, everyone else in Taihe Palace was the Emperor's people. Liang Zhong privately warned them. When Chu Xiang woke up, she could clearly feel that everyone in the palace was treating her with even more respect. She was completely confused, not knowing what she had done to receive this sort of respect.
This was definitely Xiao Yuan Zhao's idea. Could it be that it was because she had hugged Xiao Yuan Zhao the night before? Was he interested in that??
