"My lady, Eunuch Xu from the Jingshifang is here." Jinxi came in to report to Zhen Huan. Liuzhu helped Zhen Huan put down the book in her hand and stood up.

"Good luck to the noble lady of Wan," Xu Jinliang said with a salute.

"Why did the eunuch come here in person?" Zhen Huan knew that Xu Jinliang was the head eunuch of the Jingshifang, and it was not easy for him to come out in person.

"The Emperor has personally issued an order, asking me to come here to inform you and prepare to sleep with you tonight."

"Thank you, eunuch." Zhen Huan half bowed and thanked Xu Jinliang. He came in person to give her face, so Zhen Huan had to thank him.

"I'll take my leave." The words had been conveyed, so Xu Jinliang bowed and left without saying anything else.

"My young lady just returned to the palace the day before yesterday, and the emperor summoned you again today. It seems that the emperor can't let her go." Liu Zhu and Jin Xi came over after Xu Jinliang left. They were both happy that Zhen Huan was summoned by the emperor again.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhen Huan was also happy, and her little face turned red after hearing what Liu Zhu said.

Jing Xi didn't say anything, but just dressed Zhen Huan up and sent her to the Yangxin Palace. Zhen Huan was received by Aunt Fangruo, the head aunt of the Yangxin Palace. "My lady, please wait here for a moment. The emperor is still in the study reviewing memorials and will be here soon. My lady, please wait here for a moment."

"Don't I have to go to the enclosure to change clothes first?" Zhen Huan knew that concubines had to go to the enclosure to change clothes before serving the emperor, and then be rolled up in quilts and carried in.

"It was the Emperor who asked you to wait here, so just wait." Aunt Fangruo said with a smile. The number of concubines who did not need to go to the imperial chamber to change clothes before serving the Emperor could be counted on one hand.

"Thank you, aunt." After the two of them exchanged greetings, Aunt Fangruo left. Zhen Huan turned around and looked inside the Yangxin Palace. She reached out and touched the tassels on the bed and sat down on the bed. She subconsciously stroked the sheets and curtains. She knew that she was just a passer-by here, but she couldn't help wanting to stay here forever and become the master here.

Turning back, she saw the emperor walking in with a young eunuch. "Your Majesty," she asked, bowing.

The emperor didn't say anything. He stroked her shoulders and sat down on the bed with her. "You must be hungry. I have prepared some snacks for you." When Zhen Huan heard the emperor's words, she stretched her head to look at the snacks on the tray held by the eunuch.

"Hey, why is there only one bowl in the imperial kitchen?" Zhen Huan handed it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please eat first."

"I have eaten in the study. You can try it first to see if it suits your taste." The emperor did not take it, but let Zhen Huan eat it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhen Huan shyly withdrew her hand upon hearing the emperor's words. She knew that the emperor had brought this dumpling specially for her. She took a spoon to scoop up the dumpling from the tray, took a bite and immediately spat it out, asking in surprise, "Raw?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at the emperor, and the emperor also looked at her with a smile on his face. She looked at the eunuch holding the tray, and the eunuch was smiling even more. Zhen Huan fiddled with the dumplings a few more times, and the skin was the same.

"You said it yourself." Zhen Huan looked up at the emperor when she heard what he said. The emperor also smiled at her, and she immediately understood. She knew that there was a folk custom of eating raw dumplings at weddings, which meant that the newlyweds had to say "birth", indicating that they would give birth to a big fat boy within a year. She didn't expect the emperor to tease her with this custom, so she put the bowl down with a coquettish look.

The young eunuch knew that he had accomplished his mission, so he bowed and left.

"My dear Wan Qing is so cute and pitiful when she gets angry." The emperor liked Zhen Huan even more when he saw her angry look. A man's mood is to tease the woman who loves him.

When Zhen Huan heard this, she gave the emperor a coquettish look and said, "Your Majesty is teasing me." She was also happy and couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"Okay, okay, I didn't mean to tease you. You should have eaten this bowl of dumplings in the palace. I heard that dumplings are a must-have at weddings in folk society, but the palace has rules that prohibit us from doing so. But I must do what I can for you." The emperor made his promise. I don't know if it moved Zhen Huan, but he certainly moved himself.
