Empress Xu likes luxurious ostentation the most, and her birthday banquets in previous years were always very lively.

The emperor lightly ordered that everything should be simple this year, obviously not wanting to mention Empress Xu more.

Wei Jieyu was the most gentle and understanding person. After finding out the emperor's thoughts, she responded with a smile: "The emperor does not want to be extravagant and wasteful. It is a good thing that he wants to save money for the palace. I have never hosted a birthday banquet before. , if there is anything that is not comprehensive, please forgive me."

Listening to Wei Jieyu's soft words, the emperor's mood eased slightly. He smiled and took Wei Jieyu's soft and smooth hand: "You have always been careful and considerate in your actions. I trust you. By the way, I am in charge of palace affairs these days. "Have you encountered any troubles? Is there any concubine who is secretly causing trouble for you? If so, just tell me and I will support you!"

Wei Jieyu's ability to stand out among the concubines and be favored for many years was certainly due to more than just her elegant and beautiful face.

She pursed her lips slightly and smiled softly, looking at the emperor with trust and admiration: "I have neither extraordinary talents nor a powerful mother's family, but I am lucky enough to become the emperor's concubine. Now I still represent the emperor. I'm taking care of the palace affairs. The emperor is so kind to his concubines, who can't see anyone with eyes in the palace, and who dares to bully me!"

It was a look of wholehearted love.

In her eyes, he was not only an emperor, but also a husband who loved her wholeheartedly!

Under such a gaze, the emperor's self-esteem and pride as a man were fully satisfied. He held Wei Jieyu's hand tighter and his voice was particularly soft: "There are so many concubines in the palace, I like you the most." Be considerate and gentle. Don’t worry, I will make you and Anya happy and prosperous forever.”

Wei Jieyu was so moved that her eyes reddened and tears filled her eyes: "I really don't know how lucky I am to have gained the emperor's favor in my lifetime."

But he was sneering in his heart.

In this harem that eats people without blinking an eye, if you believe that you are special in the eyes of the emperor, you are really confused.

For so many years in the palace, in order to protect herself, she has always been low-key, cautious and careful. She has never dared to be arrogant, let alone spoiled. With this caution, she was able to survive until now.

The emperor has been pure and celibate for several months, and feels that his body has become much stronger these days. At this time, he and Wei Jieyu were talking warmly, and he couldn't help but move his thoughts.

In front of Princess Anya, the emperor could not reveal it, but he kept holding Wei Jieyu's hand and never let go. While chatting, he caressed the palm of Wei Jieyu's hand seemingly absentmindedly.

Wei Jieyu seemed to have noticed something, a light blush appeared on her pretty face, which looked particularly beautiful.

That night, the emperor summoned Wei Jieyu to sleep with him.

Although Wei Yan warned him, no one could stop the emperor with this thought. Eunuch Ding, who is good at flattering, also secretly prepared tonic.

After the emperor drank the tonic, he became more powerful. Wei Jieyu was also there to welcome her, and the night was very enjoyable.

The exhausted emperor was still complacent before falling into a deep sleep.

Wei Yan also asked him to rest for half a year, but in fact it wouldn't take that long at all! It had only been three months and his dragon body was fine.

It's a pity that Ling Jingshu's illness has not recovered yet and she cannot be touched for the time being.

However, there is no need to rush. Anyway, I am in the Zichen Palace. Once my illness is cured, I can be lucky enough to do it anytime I want.

…

The fact that the emperor summoned his guard Jieyu to sleep with him was no secret in the palace.

The harem, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly took action after hearing the news. Today, Miss Wang comes to "visit" her in all her beauty. Tomorrow, it's Zhang Zhaoyi who comes to "say hello" in all her style.

Ling Jingshu, who was working as an errand in the Zichen Palace, was very aware of these changes in the situation, and she also secretly felt wary in her heart.

Although she had the shield of illness, the emperor's gaze on her became more and more intense day by day, which was really disturbing.

This day was another day when Wei Yan came to see her.

Bai Yu and Qiao Yun had a tacit understanding for a long time. After Wei Yan entered the house, they spontaneously withdrew and stood guard outside the door.

Ling Jingshu frowned slightly, and Wei Yan's expression was also serious.

The two looked at each other and opened their mouths in unison: "I have something to tell you." Then they changed their words in unison: "You go ahead and say it!"

They said the same thing twice in a row, and they were really in tune with each other. Although both of them were feeling heavy, they couldn't help but laugh. The originally tense atmosphere quickly relaxed.

Wei Yan composed himself and said in a low voice: "Ah Shu, you must know that the emperor has begun summoning concubines!"

Ling Jingshu nodded: "I understand. What I just wanted to say is the same thing."

She walked around in front of the emperor all day long and felt the most profoundly.

If he hadn't been suffering from a strange illness, I'm afraid the emperor would have been unable to bear it.

Wei Yan's heart was also heavy, but his face showed a calm look: "Don't panic yet, I have already thought of a countermeasure."

Ling Jingshu was not relieved, but looked over with a worried expression: "Wei Yan, you must not do anything impulsive and stupid."

Wei Yan smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, the response I mentioned is to follow the emperor's wishes. It will never implicate myself."

He still wants to rescue her from the palace and grow old together with her, no matter how hard he puts his life in danger.

Ling Jingshu looked at Wei Yan dubiously, but still refused to believe his words and glared at him: "You must be saying nice things to coax me."

She must not know how touching this look of being so coquettish towards her sweetheart is.

The charming look in that glance aroused the passion that Wei Yan had been suppressing in his heart.

Wei Yan's heart felt hot, he took two steps forward, lowered his head to look down at her pretty face, and said in a low voice: "Ah Shu, believe me. With you, I can't bear to talk about life and death."

His eager eyes lingered on her lips.

It was as if he was kissing her red lips gently and eagerly.

Ling Jingshu's cheeks secretly felt hot, she felt a little limp and weak, and a shameful heat surged through her body.

It's a pity that her illness has not recovered yet, and she cannot fall into his arms and embrace him intimately. Not to mention standing on tiptoes and kissing his face.

She should step back and let both of them calm down.

But the body has its own ideas and refuses to move.

The two stared at each other for a moment, then moved away with their strong self-control.

After a while, Wei Yan said in a low voice: "In a few days, it will be the emperor's birthday banquet. Eunuch Huang in the courtesy room has prepared a special gift for the emperor."

A special gift?

Ling Jingshu was startled and asked reflexively: "What is it?"

Eunuch Huang is from Wei Yan, so the congratulatory gift he presented was clearly from Wei Yan's instructions.
