It was already noon, but the palace was still quiet.

"Your Highness, the flowers in the yard are all in bloom, but should we move a few pots to the bedroom as usual?" A Jin asked, leaning forward.

Prince Guo quickly closed the book and made a "hush" gesture, "Keep your voice down, Fu Jin hasn't gotten up yet!"

"Our Concubine is so blessed. Normally, the prince dislikes lazy people the most, but when it comes to Concubine, all of that doesn't count." Ah Jin said as he turned around and glanced in the direction of the bedroom.

The prince did not deny it, and smiled dotingly, "Yushan was exhausted yesterday, we can move the flowers after she wakes up, you can go down!"

A Jin hid a malicious smile in his eyes and said respectfully, "Yes, A Jin knows."

Here, Yu Shan had a long sleep. She stretched and felt very satisfied.

When she was fully awake, she looked at the messy bed and then at herself. She was only wrapped in a red quilt. When she lifted it up, she saw red spots all over her body and shoulders, which showed how intense their sex last night was.

Thinking back to this, Yu Shan blushed suddenly. The prince had a really good physique!

She turned over, and Dong'er, who had been waiting outside, came over after hearing the noise, "Fujin, the hot water is ready. Fujin, do you want to get up?"

Yu Shan nodded and said, "Just wait outside. You don't have to come over to serve me."

Normally I do everything by myself, so suddenly I need someone to serve me even when I eat and drink, and I’m not used to it.

And the marks on her body...if Dong'er saw them and spread them out, would she still be able to live?

The door of the bedroom opened. Yu Shan was sitting in front of the mirror, dressing up. The prince came into the room upon hearing her voice. Looking at the ruddy-faced person, his throat became dry and he said, "You can go down!"

After that, she gently placed her hand on Yushan's shoulder and lowered her head to sniff, "Yushan, you always smell so good."

"In broad daylight, Your Majesty is so dishonest, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Prince Guo picked up a golden hairpin and inserted it into her hair. "Xiaoxuan Window, I am dressing up. Yushan, do you know how long I have been looking forward to this scene? You finally married me. When I woke up this morning, I thought I was dreaming."

After saying that, he placed Yu Shan's hand on his chest for her to feel, but A Jin, who came in to report, saw it clearly.

"My Lord, it's time to go to Anqi Temple."

"Got it." The prince said coldly, pulling Yu Shan to sit at the dining table, "Have breakfast first, we'll go over after you finish."

Yu Shan shook her head awkwardly, "I should have gotten up early in the morning to pay my respects and offer tea to the Concubine. It's all my fault for being lazy. There's no need for breakfast. Let's go quickly and don't let the Concubine wait anxiously."

The prince was not in a hurry, "It's okay, I told my mother that we would go later, my mother doesn't care about these things, the journey is long, you must be uncomfortable if you are hungry."

Never mind. At this point it doesn’t make any difference whether it comes earlier or later. I might as well take a few bites first.

After breakfast, the two took a carriage to Anqi Temple. The concubine was happy to see her and took out the dowry bracelet given by her mother's family when she got married and put it on Yushan's hand. Yushan served her tea and changed her words. The three of them talked for a long time and did not return home until it was late.

The weather in the capital turned cold in a flash. Yu Shan was busy taking over all the affairs of the palace these days. She was so busy every day that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down at night. She didn't even have much time to chat with the prince.

Prince Guo would occasionally be called into the palace by the Emperor to talk and play chess. On this day, as soon as he arrived at the Yangxin Palace, he heard that the Empress Dowager was not feeling well, so he hurriedly accompanied the Emperor to the Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother has not eaten or drunk anything for the entire day, and all the doctors gathered here are helpless.

The emperor sent everyone away and wanted to talk to the queen mother for a while, but the queen mother opened her eyes weakly and said only one sentence:

"Emperor, can you please release Old Fourteen? After all, he is your biological brother."

A trace of desolation flashed through the emperor's heart. "Ever since he was a child, the Empress Dowager has favored the Fourteenth Prince. Don't you have anything to say to your son now?"

"The Emperor imprisoned the Fourteenth Prince. Outsiders will say that you are cruel and heartless and murderous." The Queen Mother turned her head and struggled to remember, but she had no strength left.

"If my son cares about these things, I'm afraid he won't be able to rule the country well. Empress Dowager doesn't need to worry about these things. Apart from these, do you have nothing else to say to my son?"

The Queen Mother turned her head away and refused to look at him again.

The emperor sat for a long time and talked about how his father did not love him when he was a child and his mother never cared about him. The empress dowager listened silently and refused to say anything.

Since the empress dowager didn't want to say it, the emperor didn't force her. He knelt for a long time before slowly standing up.

Outside the door, the Queen hurried forward to support the Emperor, "What did the Queen Mother say?"

The emperor glanced at her and Old Seventeen, then stepped over the threshold. He heard a loud shout behind him:

"The Queen Mother has passed away..."

The emperor stopped and stood thoughtfully for a while, then continued to walk forward. His figure became farther and farther away, and a wailing sound was heard behind him.

From that day on, the emperor's health suddenly became weak, and he felt exhausted after reviewing only half of the memorials he used to review.

In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived. On a day with gentle autumn breeze, Liuzhu and Yanyu got married. They lived in a house outside the Forbidden City. This house was a dowry given to her by Zhen Huan so that she could meet Yushan conveniently and enter the palace when needed.

"Yushan, I see that you have been so busy handling the affairs of the palace these days, and you seem to have lost some weight." The prince stood in front of the window and hugged her from behind, with his chin resting on her shoulder.

Outside the house, the autumn rain was falling, creating ripples on the stone floor.

"I used to see my elder sister helping to take care of the harem, and it seemed easy. But now that it's my turn, I realize that there are many things I need to learn carefully before I can handle them properly."

The prince put his arm around her shoulders and walked in front of her, gently tapping her forehead, "If you do these things seriously, it will be very tiring, so why not put them aside for now, I'll take you out to relax."

Yu Shan raised her head with a puzzled look on her face. "I just went to the palace a few days ago, and went to Yan Mansion to play with Liu Zhu yesterday. Now I really don't know where to go to relax."

Prince Guo smiled and said, "The autumn season in Beijing is short, and winter will come soon. Why don't we go somewhere warmer to spend the winter?"

Yu Shan found it a little unbelievable and tilted her head: "How long do you plan to be away, Your Majesty?"

"We have to wait until the New Year and the spring weather gets warmer before coming back!

Yu Shan felt that this was not appropriate and was about to retort, but the prince said:

"I promised to take you to the Baiyi tribe. It belongs to Yunnan and it's spring all year round. Let's spend the winter there and then visit the Bi family."

Yu Shan was overjoyed. "Is it true? But after so many years, the Bi family must have been overgrown with weeds and turned into ruins."

Prince Guo smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry about that, you'll know when you get there!"
