"The Emperor has arrived!"

Cheng'er supported Concubine Ru and came out to meet him.

Xiao Rui saw Concubine Ru coming out in person and said, "You are weak after giving birth, and it is freezing cold. You don't have to come out on purpose in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding~" Concubine Ru said with a smile.

Xiao Rui and Concubine Ru walked into the palace respectfully.

Cheng'er looked at the backs of the two people and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, wishing it were her who was standing next to the emperor!

Then he ordered, "Zi Han, go make tea! I want to serve tea to the emperor and the queen!"

Hall

Concubine Ru was chatting with Xiao Rui, and Xiao Rui said, "Your brother is very capable and a pillar of the court."

Concubine Ru said coquettishly, "Brother is so talented that it seems that I am so ignorant and uneducated~"

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "How could that be? My beloved concubine is being modest!"

As the two were chatting and laughing, Cheng'er pushed open the door and walked in with tea, refilling the tea for the Emperor and Concubine Ru.

Concubine Ru looked at her and found that she had put on rouge without knowing when. Her cheeks became even pinker, like a flower bud about to bloom. Looking closely, she saw that she had lip balm on her lips. It was not like this when she was dressing herself up just now.

Cheng Er poured tea for Xiao Rui and said, "Your Majesty, please try it. This is the Junshan Yinzhen tea that I brewed for you. The weather is cold, and this tea has the effect of removing dampness and quenching thirst..."

Xiao Rui didn't even raise his eyelids.

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Cheng'er continued, "Your Majesty, drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Xiao Rui frowned. He didn't like the fact that a palace maid couldn't tell the difference between the main and the secondary and talked so much. After seeing the emperor's expression, Concubine Ru said quickly, "Now that you're done, go down quickly."

When Cheng'er heard what Concubine Ru said, the smile on her face suddenly stopped.

So Concubine Ru just can't stand me, okay? Cheng'er walked out dejectedly, holding the tea tray.

There was almost nothing left in the pot of tea. Xiao Rui felt sleepy and couldn't help yawning.

Concubine Ru stood up and said, "There is no tea left. I will ask someone to bring more tea right away!"

Soon after, another pot of tea was brought up. After Concubine Ru added more tea for Xiao Rui, she began to find topics to chat with Xiao Rui.

Seeing that Xiao Rui's cup was empty again, Concubine Ru was about to get up to pour more, but Xiao Rui held down Concubine Ru's hand and said, "No need to add more. I really can't drink any more. Besides, I'm a little tired. Please wait for me to rest!"

Ru Fei replied in a low voice, "Yes..."

She began to undress Xiao Rui. After Xiao Rui lay down, Concubine Ru said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. It will be wasted if the tea gets cold. I will finish the tea."

After hearing this, Xiao Rui said, "My beloved concubine, there is no need to be so frugal. There is still no shortage of tea in the palace."

Concubine Ru used her brother as a shield, "I am just being frugal and saving money. My brother often taught me in his letters that frugality is the key to prosperity, and that extravagance should be abandoned and frugality should be upheld."

Xiao Rui praised, "Very good, very good, Master Xiaoru can teach you how to increase income and reduce expenditure, very good."

Xiao Rui lay on the couch for a long time. Before he knew it, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.

Concubine Ru was sitting on the table. She heard the emperor's even breathing, then she felt relieved and tiptoed to lie down beside the emperor.

But as soon as Concubine Ru lay down beside him, Xiao Rui opened his eyes instantly. Perhaps being an emperor was too tiring. He was always on the defensive, especially when someone suddenly approached him.

Before Concubine Ru had time to rejoice, she saw the emperor open his eyes wide, stroke his chest and said, "Your Majesty scared me~"

Xiao Rui asked, "My beloved concubine, why didn't you tell me after you finished drinking? Why did you sneak up here?"

Concubine Ru said, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty...can't bear to wake up the Emperor. The Emperor has been reviewing memorials all night long these past few days, which is really tiring."

Xiao Rui said, "It's hard work, but I can't ignore you. Since you gave birth to the child, I have summoned you many times, but I haven't been able to truly love you."

Concubine Ru shook her head and said, "It's alright, Your Majesty. It's all my fault. I don't care about it!"

Xiao Rui said, "I lost Xian'er last time. Although I didn't say it, I still remember it in my heart. He is different from the unborn child. He has come into this world, but he couldn't stay with us. Let's have another child. Maybe Xian'er will come back to find us."

"Your Majesty..." After hearing these words, Concubine Ru burst into tears.

Xiao Rui turned over and blocked Ru Fei's mouth with his mouth, and reached down...

But he felt something unspeakable. Xiao Rui pulled his hand out, but found that his fingers were stained with bright red blood!

After seeing the blood, Xiao Rui suddenly sat up and exclaimed:

"What's this!!"
