The carriage stopped at the gate of the inner court, and Wei Zhuang got out of the carriage with the help of the young eunuch.
Morning rituals usually started at three o'clock in the morning, and since Wei Zhuang had just been reborn, he was already so sleepy that his steps were a little weak. There was only one thought in his mind - to get back on the bed and lie down flat.
"Your Majesty, we're here." The little eunuch reminded.
"Well, okay." Wei Zhuang raised his head and was about to step over, but suddenly he noticed something was wrong with this palace. When he looked again, he found that it was Aiwan Palace.
"Why are you here?" Wei Zhuang asked.
The young eunuch was stunned and replied: "Don't you, Your Majesty, have to go to the Queen first after leaving the court every day..."
"Oh——" Wei Zhuang's eyes flashed.
Yes, since Feng Shuwan married him, he would go to see Feng Shuwan every day before going to catch up on his sleep.
Why not just sleep at Feng Shuwan's place?
Because they have not consummated their marriage since they got married, not even in ninety-nine lifetimes. To be honest, Wei Zhuang fell in love with Feng Shuwan at the first sight. Because of this, in the face of Feng Shuwan's rejection, Wei Zhuang chose to respect her. He cared for Feng Shuwan and only wanted to Waiting for the day when Feng Shuwan truly accepts him.
It's just...how could I forget this habit from my ninety-ninth life today?
Wei Zhuang's heart moved slightly, he didn't know...
"Your Majesty?" The little eunuch on the side called softly: "Your Majesty, do you want to come in?"
Wei Zhuang hesitated for a moment, then finally took a step forward: "No, let's go back to my bedroom first."
Wei Zhuang returned to the palace. After cleaning, he immediately changed his clothes and threw himself on the bed. He spread his limbs and made a "big" sign. Drowsiness hit him immediately. Wei Zhuang closed his eyes, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
call--
Wei Zhuang let out a sigh of relief and frowned. He made so much noise in the morning and his body was very stiff now.
"Come here!" Wei Zhuang called.
"The slave is here!" the little eunuch replied outside the door.
"Get two maids to come in."
"Uh...yes!"
The little eunuch was a little surprised but turned around and called for help. According to the rules of the palace, no one is allowed in the emperor's sleeping quarters, especially palace maids, who are absolutely not allowed to enter the emperor's quarters.
This was to prevent the emperor from falling in love with a certain palace maid on a whim, which would damage the image of the royal family and disrupt the inner court.
However, seeing the decisive killing in Wei Zhuang's court today, the young eunuch did not dare to say anything. Just as two palace ladies came over, the young eunuch let them in. As soon as the two palace ladies entered, the young eunuch slapped his forehead and begged in his heart.
These two palace maids are quite beautiful. The emperor must be calm and not do anything outrageous.
…
Inside the Aiwan Palace.
Feng Shuwan stood at the door and waited quietly.
Not far away, Xiaoyu ran happily like a little rabbit from outside, walked closer and showed a bright smile.
"Miss, you are so lucky!"
Feng Shuwan touched her head: "You girl said these nonsense again."
"Miss, listen to me. I just went out and met the little eunuch beside the emperor. I saw him respectfully taking a wooden box from a minister. I was curious and went over to ask, miss, what do you think is in the box?"
Feng Shuwan shook her head: "How do I know what it is."
"It's a pair of jade bracelets!" Xiaoyu said excitedly: "Xiaoyu has never seen such beautiful jade bracelets."
"What does this have to do with whether I am lucky or not?"
"Oh, miss, why don't you understand? The little eunuch was so respectful when he took the wooden box, which proves that it must be for the emperor. And there is exactly a pair of jade bracelets in the box. They must be given to the miss by the emperor. Anniversary gift!”
Feng Shuwan was startled. Wei Zhuang had indeed given her a gift on this day every year since the two got married, and Feng Shuwan would also give something back in order not to owe anything.
"Oh." Feng Shuwan replied in a low voice.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu smiled ambiguously: "The young lady said something bad about His Majesty this morning, but she still spent a long time combing her makeup and changing into new clothes to welcome the Emperor. I think the young lady is just telling the truth. The young lady must still like the Emperor!"
After hearing this, Feng Shuwan blushed, and with a straight face, she stretched out her fingers and bent them into a hook to hit Xiaoyu on the head: "Silly girl, you are talking nonsense. Today is the day when he ascends the throne. I have to dress up to be polite and affectionate." Be more dignified.”
Xiaoyu pouted after hearing this: "My lady's words are too cold. The emperor is so kind to my lady, and my lady should try to respond."
"You are still young and don't understand anything. Things are not that simple."
"My lady thinks things are too complicated. I think the emperor is different from the kings in history. It's not a big deal if my lady tries to respond to the emperor."
Feng Shuwan glanced at Xiaoyu, shook her head and said nothing. She looked at the scene outside the door, but Xiaoyu's words echoed in her head, and she gradually lost her mind.
He seems to be a little different from those kings in history.
Then it’s not a big deal to respond to him...
It's noon in a blink of an eye.
Feng Shuwan still stood at the door and watched. She hadn't moved for about two hours.
Xiaoyu puffed up her cheeks and muttered dejectedly: "Why hasn't the emperor come yet?"
Feng Shuwan said considerately to her: "Go and sit for a while."
Xiaoyu shook her head: "Supposedly, the court has already dispersed. Is there something going on? It's really strange..."
After a while, Xiaoyu couldn't wait any longer, so she patted her chest and volunteered, "I'll go check on the situation for the lady!"
After saying that, she ran out quickly before Feng Shuwan could stop her. Feng Shuwan shook her head helplessly, moved her somewhat stiff ankles, and continued to wait.
After two moments, Xiaoyu hurried back.
"Miss, Miss, something's wrong, something's wrong!" Xiaoyu ran to Feng Shuwan, gasping for air.
Feng Shuwan poured a glass of water from the table and handed it to her: "Don't be so flustered in the palace. If people see you, they will say you have no rules."
Xiaoyu didn't drink the water, but immediately leaned into Feng Shuwan's ear and spoke anxiously.
"Miss, I saw the emperor sleeping in the palace, and there were two maids inside who kept touching the emperor's legs!"
Feng Shuwan patted her head helplessly after hearing this: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know that palace ladies cannot enter the emperor's palace?"
Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "It's absolutely true, miss. I just went to the door of the emperor's palace to ask the little eunuch where the emperor was. Who knew that the little eunuch would panic when he saw me. When I asked him, he said I hesitated and couldn't speak, so I opened the door of the palace, and then I saw..."
"Wait!" Feng Shuwan interrupted her, with a dark line on her face: "Did you open the door to his bedroom?"
"No." Xiaoyu shook her head innocently, "I quietly opened the crack in the door."
Feng Shuwan stretched out her hand and hit her on the head several times, and said angrily: "You girl is so unruly. If you dare to pick at the cracks in his door, you are not afraid that he will find out and drag you out and beat you to death!"
Xiaoyu covered her head and hid while begging for mercy, "Miss, please stop fighting now. I am also thinking about the happiness of the lady. The little eunuch was afraid that I would see him and drive me away. I was worried about waking up the emperor, so I ran far away to hide and watch. Then I saw the little eunuch calling the two palace maids to come out and giving them two bracelets!"
After Xiaoyu finished speaking these last words, Feng Shuwan's expression froze and she stood speechless for a long time...
