Seeing that the emperor was really angry, Concubine Yu glanced at Yu Zheng and said angrily: "Zheng'er, don't make your father angry with your nonsense."
Yu Zheng pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
What a silent response!
The emperor angrily picked up the tea cup and threw it at Yu Zheng.
With a muffled sound, the tea cup hit Yu Zheng's shoulder, and half the cup of tea and tea leaves were poured on Yu Zheng.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Yu was anxious.
"Humph!" The emperor rolled his sleeves and turned away, looking away from Yu Zheng in anger.
Yu Zheng knew that the conflict would only get worse if he stayed any longer, so he stood up and left.
Concubine Yu did not stay because she was not in the mood to eat now.
When he stepped out of Zhongling Palace, the palace maid quickly caught up with him and handed Yu Zheng a food box.
"Your Highness, the imperial concubine wants you to take it back."
Yu Zheng took it and opened it to see that it was iced lychees.
Looking at the plump and red lychees, Yu Zheng knew that his mother-in-law was still thinking of him.
Thinking of what he had done, Yu Zheng felt guilty and decided to compensate his mother and concubine more in the future.
For example, having two more children.
After closing the food box, Yu Zheng carried it out of the palace and back home. After having lunch and changing his clothes, he took the food box to Jiang's house.
The weather has been hot recently, and Jiang Ji's business has been stable, so Jiang Shu seldom goes to patrol the shop and stays at home to escape the heat.
Yu Zheng's sudden visit surprised Jiang Shu.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Shu, who was about to take a nap, stood up from the soft couch and asked, holding his stomach.
This was the first time that Yu Zheng stepped into Jiang Shu's boudoir. After a quick glance, he picked up the food box in his hand and said, "I'll give you lychees."
"Lychee?" Jiang Shu's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Although the Jiang family is wealthy, lychees are too rare and difficult to buy even if you have money.
It can be raw, Jiang Shu likes to eat it.
Chu Yu took the food box, opened it, took a look, and said with a smile: "No matter how much you like it, the girl can't eat this lychee."
"Why?" Jiang Shu was confused.
Chu Yu said: "This lychee is chilled. The girl is not well yet."
When Jiang Shu heard this, he pursed his lips in grievance: "Then take it outside to dry it in the sun and eat it when it's not cold."
"Yes, yes, yes." Chu Yu picked up a plate and took it to the courtyard to dry it.
Knowing that the two of them had something to say, Chu Yu wisely did not go back to the house, and asked Tan Yu and other maids not to disturb them.
Jiang Shu wanted to get up from the soft couch, but Yu Zheng walked to the couch and sat down one step ahead of her.
Seeing her holding her stomach, Yu Zheng had already guessed it based on Chu Yu's words just now.
"But are you having your period?"
Jiang Shu's face turned red suddenly and he nodded shyly.
Menstruation is a natural thing for women, and Yu Zheng doesn't feel any shame.
"Want to eat?" Yu Zheng looked at the food box on the table and asked her.
"I want to." Jiang Shu licked his lips honestly.
Yu Zheng stood up and went over and brought back a few lychees from the food box.
"It's too cold, I can't eat it." Jiang Shu reminded with a frown.
Yu Zheng ignored it, peeled it open, took out the core, and put it in his mouth.
Jiang Shu was stunned and didn't understand what Yu Zheng meant by this move.
Deliberately teasing her to seduce her?
Under Jiang Shu's puzzled gaze, Yu Zheng warmed the lychee in his mouth, then suddenly approached Jiang Shu and pressed his lips against hers.
"Uh-" Jiang Shu didn't understand until Yu Zheng pried open her teeth with the tip of his tongue and fed the lychee into her mouth.
The fragrant lychee flavor instantly filled his mouth, and Jiang Shu chewed subconsciously.
Yu Zheng left her lips and continued to peel off one.
After feeding five pills in the same manner, Jiang Shu squinted his eyes.
After swallowing the last one, Jiang Shu praised: "This lychee tastes really good."
"Really? Let me give it a try." Yu Zheng's dark eyes flashed slightly, and he leaned forward to kiss her lips again.
This kiss is no longer a light touch, but a tossing and turning, gently sucking, grinding and deepening, chasing and playing.
Both of their mouths were filled with the sweetness of lychees, making this kiss even more intoxicating than before.
After a long kiss, the two of them pressed their foreheads against each other, breathing softly with their mouths slightly open. A silver thread as thin as a gossamer hung on the tip of their tongues. It was blown away by Yu Zheng's hot breath and disappeared without a trace.
"Shu'er." Yu Zheng took Jiang Shu into his arms, hugged her tightly and murmured: "Just wait, it will be soon."
Jiang Shu didn't react for a moment: "What's so fast?"
Yu Zheng said: "Today I have expressed my devotion to the Buddha to my father, the emperor, my mother and my concubine. It won't be long before they force me to take a concubine."
Jiang Shu was a little worried when he heard this: "Are they really going to be what we expected?"
What if they choose another lady for Yu Zheng?
Caressing Jiang Shu's soft skin with his slender fingers, Yu Zheng said in a condensing voice: "You are the only one I want to marry, and it can only be you."
After hearing this, Jiang Shu felt relieved and leaned against Yu Zheng's chest to listen to his heartbeat.
The days passed.
As Yu Zheng and the others expected, after the emperor and Concubine Yu confirmed that Yu Zheng had the heart to worship the Buddha, they began to inquire about his daily life and contacts.
Naturally, I found out about Jiang Shu.
The spies sent the collected information back to the palace, and Concubine Yu read it carefully.
Concubine Yu's beautiful eyes lit up when she saw that Yu Zheng often interacted with Jiang Shu, who was disguised as a man, and they became very close.
After so many years, a woman finally got close to Yu Zheng!
But after learning Jiang Shu's identity, Concubine Yu was in trouble.
Forget about being the daughter of a merchant, even if she is a woman disguised as a man to do business, she is still a harmonious person!
Concubine Yu was so worried that she couldn't eat anything, so she came to the emperor to discuss the matter.
"Jiang Shu?" The emperor frowned. Why is this name so familiar?
Concubine Yu said: "Yes, she was once the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an, and she and the Marquis of Jing'an reconciled and divorced last year."
The emperor remembered this reminder.
Last year, he even put a jade seal on the Naheli Book!
This world is so small, why did Yu Zheng get so close to her?
The emperor frowned and thought for a long time, then said in a deep voice: "Zheng'er's marriage is related to the court, so we can't be hasty. I have to think about it."
After thinking for a long time, the emperor tentatively said: "How about letting Zheng'er take her as a concubine? Then the courtiers will not object too much."
Yu Zheng is already twenty-five this year, and Yu Cheng already has two children at his age.
But Yu Zheng is still unmarried, and the courtiers are more anxious than the emperor.
But there's no point in being anxious. Yu Zheng always goes his own way and no one can influence his thoughts.
Recently, Yu Zheng became obsessed with Buddhism and showed his devotion to Buddhism, which made the courtiers anxious and angry. They sent a memorial in the morning to urge Yu Zheng to marry his concubine as soon as possible.
Yu Zheng responded with Buddhist theory, and all the courtiers were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
Concubine Yu frowned, wondering: "Based on my concubine's understanding of Zheng'er, he regards Jiang Shu as a good friend, and I'm afraid he won't humiliate me by serving as my concubine."
"Then what should we do? With her status, she can't be a concubine!" The emperor beat his knees in frustration.
Jiang Shu's identity is really far different from Yu Zheng's.
The majestic King Jing, the main concubine is actually a second-married woman. If word spreads, people will definitely laugh at her.
Concubine Yu rubbed her forehead and said, "I also have a headache. You can't point to a lady from a wealthy family, tie up Zheng'er to get married, and escort Zheng'er to have a child with her."
"What are you talking about!" The emperor stared at Concubine Yu with a speechless expression.
Concubine Yu's words reminded the emperor of his own past.
When he first ascended the throne, he was forced to marry the queen and gave birth to the prince Yu Cheng with her.
This matter has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart, and he still can't let it go.
