[1]The Consort is Both Charming and Scheming, Rising Through Palace Intrigue

In the evening, Xiao Yu went to Lanyue Pavilion for dinner.

The weather was hot, so Ning Shuyan asked the royal dining room to prepare some cool side dishes and cold dishes, and Xiao Yu also took a few more mouthfuls.

"I'm going to the palace in a few days. You can sort out what you want to take first."

Xiao Yu's words are equivalent to telling Ning Shuyan that she can go to Yichun Garden with her.

Ning Shuyan smiled and said, "Yes, I know."

Xiao Yu pulled Ning Shuyan into the inner hall. Ning Shuyan looked at Xiao Yu's back and said, "There are a few hairs scattered in the emperor's ear. I will bring it up for you."

Xiao Yu said in harmony, "I'm going to bed soon. It doesn't matter."

Ning Shuyan gently stroked his ear with her bare hands and hid the two hairs in her hair.

Xiao Yu just lowered her eyes to see her rosy lips. She couldn't help but think of the charming kiss of the woman in Zhaochen Hall that day. Xiao Yu's heart was a little hot, her eyes were down, and her beautiful neck was faintly shiny like jade under the candlelight.

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and pinched Ning Shuyan's waist. Ning Shuyan felt itchy and laughed a few times.

He picked up Ning Shuyan, and Ning Shuyan nestled on his chest and said softly, "Your Majesty, put down my concubine."

Seeing that the woman in her arms was still squirming, Xiao Yu said with a smile, "Shuyan was not so shy yesterday."

As he said, he put Ning Shuyan on the bed, but saw that she had been pushing him with her hands. Her soft and boneless hands pushed gently, without exerting force, but aroused the fire in Xiao Yu's heart.

"Your Majesty... I can't serve you tonight." Ning Shuyan's delicate face was dyed a little crimson and whispered.

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned. Could it be that this woman is still playing to seize the old man? He reached out and gently stroked Ning Shuyan's peach-like lips, with an interesting smile: "Why can't you serve me? Shuyan must give me a reason, otherwise..." A trace of desire flashed in his eyes.

Ning Shuyan came close to his ear and whispered, "The concubine's monthly affairs are coming... I just reported it before the emperor came." After saying that, she lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Xiao Yu's smiling face gradually cooled down. She sat on the bed and straightened up.

Ning Shuyan gently pulled La Xiaoyu's sleeve and whispered softly, "Your Majesty... Are you angry?"

Full of heat, now a basin of cold water is splashed. If there is no trace of anger in the heart, it is false.

But looking at her gentle voice and cautious appearance, the displeasure in my heart gradually faded. After all, she can't be blamed for this. So he took Ning Shuyan's hand and said gently, "I'm not angry. Don't be too careful."

"Does the emperor want to go back to Zhaochen Hall, or go to other sisters..." Her voice was soft and very touching.

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes slightly, looked at her hand and said, "Looking at her hand, it seems to be much better. It's not so swollen."

Ning Shuyan smiled and said, "The medicine given by the emperor is better."

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, got up and said, "Then you take a good rest, and I'll leave."

She got up and saluted and said, "Okay, I will see you off to the emperor."

Xiao Yu's expression was not unusual when he was about to leave. It was not that he didn't want to stay here. The main reason is that it can only be seen but not eaten. It tastes really uncomfortable.

However, the woman's voice and charming face. If he stayed any longer, his calmness as the king of a country would be gone.

If it's okay only tonight, Ning Shuyan's trouble when she came to Zhaochen Hall yesterday, she was originally hot in her heart. So much so that he went to the palace of Concubine Rong, no matter how considerate and flattered Concubine Rong, he always felt uncomfortable.

I thought there would be a spring breeze tonight, but I didn't expect it to go wrong again. If it weren't for the woman's mate affairs, he really suspected that Ning Shuyan was intentional.

Ziqi entered the inner hall and looked at Ning Shuyan, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped. Ning Shuyan smiled lightly, "What do you want to say?"

Ziqi's eyes turned slightly: "I don't understand why you came to the month yesterday, but only reported it today."

Yes, Ning Shuyan found that the month was coming at noon yesterday, so she went to Zhaochen Hall.

The eunuch Li Zhang came in and said, "Master, when the emperor took the imperial sedan chair, he said that he returned to the Zhaochen Hall."

Ning Shuyan nodded, removed the pearl hair on her head and said, "This is a bit of an accident. I thought he would go to the palace of other concubines."

She had only entered the palace for three months, and she did not expect Xiao Yu to endure the rest in the Lanyue Pavilion tonight, nor did she expect him to take care of himself and not go to other concubines' palaces.

If there really was such a day, he would rather hold back by himself than rest in the Lanyue Pavilion. Then she is a veritable favorite concubine.

Four days later, the concubines went to the palace - Yichun Garden with the imperial driver. It took only an hour to get there from the palace gate.

The scenery of Yichun Garden is elegant and quiet, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are many pavilions. But it's not that it's not hot at all, but it's much cooler than inside the palace, at least the wind is cool.

Ning Shuyan lived in the Liuyin Hall. There was a lake next to the Liuyin Hall, and when she came out, she could see the lotus flowers standing on the lake. It's a good place, and the most important thing is that it is also very close to the Chengguang Hall where Xiao Yu lives.

Ning Shuyan didn't know what the queen's arrangement was. Except for her and Concubine Zhuang, her residence was closer to Xiao Yan.

Next is Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong's palace is slightly larger, which is also because of the prince.

The best thing to come to Yichun Garden is probably that you don't have to go to the royal harem every day to ask for greetings. It only takes five days to go.

The birthday of the first prince Xiao Jingyou happened to be on the ninth day of June, and the queen and Concubine Rong began to get busy. Although there are only a few concubines, the queen also wants to be lively, and the singing and dancing fireworks are still indispensable.

At the birthday banquet, this was also the first time Ning Shuyan saw the great prince. The great prince was shorter than ordinary children and looked more like Concubine Rong.

He was Xiao Yu's only son, and Xiao Yu also attached great importance to him. He waved to Xiao Jingyou to come forward and held him in his arms and said kindly, "You'er told your father what birthday gift do you want?"

Xiao Jingyou looked at Xiao Yu with dark eyes and said in a milky voice, "I want a slingshot."

When Concubine Rong heard this, she quickly got up and said, "You'er, where did you hear about the slingshot?"

Xiao Jingyou turned his eyes to look at Concubine Rong: "Son... Son, I heard what the eunuch in the palace said that it was very fun."

Concubine Rong frowned tightly and called Xiao Jingyou over and said, "You'er, listen to what my mother said, the slingshot is not something that the prince should play with."

Xiao Yu said, "Although slingshot is a toy, it is very useful for archery after practice. Since You'er likes it, Yang An, tell the craftsman to make a delicate one. Give it to the prince after it's done.

Xiao Jingyou's tender face was full of smiles, but he said in an orderly manner, "Thank you, Father."

Concubine Rong was not unhappy when she saw that Xiao Yu, and even satisfied with the birthday gift offered by You'er, she gradually smiled.
