Chapter 5 The Legend of Zhen Huan (4)
"I know that most of you are the Emperor's men. Of course, there may be a few who are just the men of some concubine in the harem. I will not ask, nor do I want to know. But if one day I find out that you have betrayed me and helped others to stab me in the back, I will not care who they are on my side, I will have them beaten to death!"
The voice of the Forget-Worry was lazy and indifferent, but it still needed to be given a warning, lest some people become complacent.
As for the claim that palace maids were also from the Eight Banners, there wouldn't be any scene in TV dramas where Consort Hua directly punishes Xia Dongchun with a severe beating. This shows that the world is not quite normal. Since everything is abnormal, wouldn't it be out of place for her to be abnormal for once?
"Have you remembered everything Your Highness said?" Peony asked, adopting the air of a head maid.
"We, your servants, will certainly be loyal to Your Majesty!" Xiaxiazi and Miaolan led the palace maids and eunuchs to kneel down and express their loyalty.
"Alright, here's your monthly allowance. Go get busy!"
"Your Majesty, yesterday afternoon all the ladies of the palace sent their congratulatory gifts, and this servant picked out some that had problems!" Bai Zhi and the others then began to report on the events of the past two days.
"Who sent them all?"
"The bracelet sent by Her Majesty the Empress contained Lingling incense; the rest are fine for now!"
"What, does she think I'm so poor that I have to wear that bracelet she gave me!" Wangyou wouldn't tolerate such a bad habit. "Have someone return the Empress's gift in a grand and public manner, and say that I dare not use this Lingling incense!"
"Your Majesty, we're new here. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to embarrass the Empress like this?" Qingzhu said with some concern.
“I already hit her at yesterday’s imperial concubine ceremony. Since she offered herself up for me to hit, why not? She’s a thorn in my side no matter what, so why maintain a facade of peace?” Wangyou said lazily.
Her family background was her greatest source of confidence, which also made her the common enemy of everyone in the harem. Since they had already made enemies, they might as well make more.
Having too much debt doesn't make you worry, and having too many lice doesn't make you itch!
"This servant understands!"
Afterwards, once everything was stored away, Qingzhu personally led people to Jingren Palace, and naturally everyone knew that the Empress had given Wangyou a bracelet with Lingling incense.
Then the Queen's headache flared up again!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Yongzheng strode in, "You seem quite relaxed, but the harem is in complete chaos!"
"Who told her to blatantly send me a bracelet made of Lingling incense? I'm already being lenient by not having it made on myself!" Wangyou said proudly.
"Indeed, you did give the Empress some face!" Yongzheng naturally knew that this girl was the type who would rather take action than talk, and given her personality, he wouldn't be surprised if she came to his door to fight.
"That's right. If she tries anything dirty with me again, I'll show her why flowers are so red!"
"You're just so mischievous!"
"Has His Majesty finished reviewing all the memorials?"
"Of course it's been approved! That's why I came to see you!"
"Your Majesty must be hungry. Have someone bring the meal immediately!"
"Alright!" Yongzheng nodded. "From now on, I will call you Wangyou!"
"A name is meant to be called!"
"I feel that calling you by your name is too distant. From now on, I will call you Jiaojiao!" Yongzheng made the final decision. "From now on, Jiaojiao, how about calling me Yinzhen?"
Yongzheng's eyes were full of deep affection. The person he had longed for for five years had finally come into his life as his wife, but he still felt that he could not get enough of her and was afraid that she would be wronged.
"Alright, then I'll call you Yinzhen!" Wangyou wasn't being coy. Luckily, Yinzhen didn't make her call him Silang, or she would have been annoyed to death.
……
"Try this 'Blooming Flowers of Wealth,' a new dish from the Imperial Kitchen. I thought it was quite good, so I had it made!" Yongzheng said with a smile, placing a piece of food on Wangyou's plate.
"That's really good. Yinzhen, you actually eat a combination of meat and vegetables. I've only ever heard that you're a vegetarian!" Wangyou never refuses any delicious food.
“I used to eat vegetarian food, but a balanced diet of meat and vegetables is the way to maintain good health!” Yongzheng smiled and served Wangyou a few more dishes. Wangyou returned the favor by serving him dishes as well, and the atmosphere between the two was extremely harmonious and warm.
As for the person who served the food, Wangyou was not used to it, but Yongzheng knew this, so the two of them ate it themselves without prior arrangement.
As for why Yongzheng paid so much attention to health, it was naturally because he died too young in his previous life. If he could have lived as long as his father, he wouldn't have hastily chosen Hongli, this spendthrift son.
After dinner, Wangyou unsurprisingly ate too much again.
"Let's go, I'll take you for a walk to digest your food!" Yongzheng said with a smile, taking Wangyou's hand as they walked out.
"Yinzhen, we've been walking for a quarter of an hour. Let's go back and play chess, okay?" Wangyou tends to get sleepy at night. She used to practice martial arts from dawn till dusk, but now all the preparations she made are useless. She might as well be a lazy bum who loves to eat and sleep!
"Fine!" Yongzheng said helplessly.
"Please carry me on your back, Yinzhen! My feet hurt!"
"So delicate!" Despite saying that, Yongzheng still picked her up without complaint. "Jiaojiao, I'll carry you back!"
Wangyou was just being coquettish, but she didn't expect Yongzheng to agree. It seems that she can lower her standards a little more!
The two didn't play chess after returning home. Wangyou was devoured whole by Yongzheng, skin and bones. This time, it didn't end in two rounds.
"No more..."
"Sweetie, just once!"
"Yinzhen, you big liar!"
"Jiaojiao, you belong to me, to me alone!"
The screams and moans were accompanied by intermittent conversations, making the people outside blush. Shui had cried out countless times.
So, Wangyou woke up late again the next day, but a little earlier than the day before, at noon.
When Wangyou woke up, she saw someone reading official documents on the bed not far away. She glared at him angrily, as if she hadn't eaten meat in eight hundred years.
"Jiaojiao is awake. I'll help you get dressed!" Yongzheng looked at the marks on the little girl's neck and felt a rare sense of guilt.
"I want to take a bath, carry me there!" Wangyou said matter-of-factly.
"Alright, alright, I'll carry you there!" Yongzheng carried Wangyou to the bathroom in a very good-natured manner. He wanted to serve Wangyou himself, but Wangyou chased him away without any mercy. Helpless, Yongzheng had no choice but to call someone in to serve him.
In the days that followed, Yongzheng seemed to live in Chengqian Palace, only occasionally going to Consort Hua's place for a meal, and then visiting Consort Qi and Consort Xin.
"Bai Zhi, be sure to wake me before the time for the morning greetings tomorrow. The new bride is entering the palace tomorrow and I need to go see the excitement!" Wang You repeatedly reminded her before going to sleep.
"You're just so curious!"
"Yes, yes, and I've never shown my face in the harem before, so I'll take this opportunity to show myself. You're not allowed to touch me tonight, and I'm determined to get up early tomorrow!" Wangyou said firmly.
Yongzheng's face fell, but seeing the little girl's determined little eyes, he thought, "Alright, let her rest then!"
After the two went to bed, Yongzheng took advantage of Wangyou for a while, and then he suffered the consequences. Wangyou laughed uncontrollably, but to avoid making him angry, she silently closed her eyes.
Otherwise she won't be able to get up tomorrow!
I don't know where a man in his forties gets so much energy; he's not abstinent at all!
Why is it that she's the one who can't get up every day, while he's full of energy like he's been replenishing his yang energy?
Even though she was carefree, she harbored resentment!
