Chapter 286 A Heartbroken Emperor × A Beloved Concubine Who Has a Change of Heart 12 (The End)
Chapter 286 A Heartbroken Emperor × A Beloved Concubine Who Has a Change of Heart 12 (The End)
Chu Yue gave birth to twins and spent two postpartum periods in her confinement. Although playing with the little ones wasn't boring, it was still incredibly tedious.
With the emperor's order in place, no one dared to disobey, and Chu Yue was so angry that she didn't want to talk to him.
"Your Highness, let me help you get up. If you soak any longer, your skin will wrinkle."
Lianqiao urged, "Your Majesty has been waiting for so long, you must be getting angry soon."
Chu Yue did it on purpose; the emperor had kept her cooped up for so long so that he would have to wait a little longer.
However, she would run out of oxygen if she stayed in the water any longer, so Chu Yue had no choice but to get up and avoid the nightgown that Lian Qiao had brought, which she was wrapped up tightly in.
Lianqiao: "..."
The Empress is being temperamental again. Only His Majesty can appease her. Lianqiao quickly withdrew.
Chu Yue came out of the inner room and walked straight out of the palace. The emperor watched her actions, smiled helplessly, and quickly stepped forward to stop her: "My dear consort, where are you going?"
"Your Majesty, I'm going to visit Xiaoxiao and Mumu." These nicknames were given to them by Chu Yue.
Although the emperor did not understand, he still offered his support.
"They're all asleep." The emperor had just checked.
"I'm worried, I need to go and check on things," Chu Yue said earnestly.
The emperor knew exactly what she was thinking; she was angry with him because he had kept her quiet for too long.
"Your Majesty, please let me go..." Chu Yue was picked up by the emperor, and she resisted.
Without a word, the emperor pinned her beneath him: "My beloved concubine, have you had enough?"
Chu Yue turned her head away: "No..."
The emperor was so angry he laughed. Since he couldn't reason with her, he decided to shut up. He forcefully shut her mouth and sucked on it tightly.
"Well……"
Chu Yue's strength was no match for it, and her body went limp in no time.
"My beloved concubine, are you still causing trouble?" The emperor gazed at the person beneath him.
Chu Yue bit her swollen lips, kissed by the emperor, thinking to herself that she still wanted to cause trouble, but what came out was: "No... I won't cause trouble anymore..."
The emperor's lips curled up: "That's more like it. I was just worried about you."
Chu Yue hummed in agreement.
"My beloved concubine, isn't it time to make it up to me?" The emperor asked seductively, nibbling at her delicate earlobe.
Chu Yue trembled: "Your Majesty... still remembers..."
The emperor took a big bite. Was he in his seventies or eighties? Would he forget?
"They should be punished."
"Well……"
The noise inside the bedchamber continued until the third watch of the night, and the palace servants waiting outside were already starting to doze off.
Only when the emperor's hoarse voice came from inside, "Come in and serve," did they perk up and enter in an orderly fashion to serve.
There was no movement from inside the screen for a long time, so Xiao Xingzi and Lian Qiao had no choice but to wait in the outer room with their people.
Chu Yue lay on the emperor's chest, staring weakly at him.
"My beloved concubine still has the strength?"
The emperor's casual remark immediately made Chu Yue lower her eyes pitifully, biting her lip and remaining silent.
The emperor's delighted laughter rang out, and the next moment, he carried Chu Yue to take a bath.
Only then did the palace servants tidy up the messy bed.
When the emperor carried Chu Yue out, everything was neatly arranged.
Holding the person in his arms as he lay on the bed, the emperor wanted to say something, but when he looked down, he saw that Chu Yue had already fallen asleep.
He chuckled helplessly, then held the person tightly as they fell asleep.
……
"Where is the Empress?" The Emperor returned to Fengze Palace but did not see Chu Yue.
When the princess and prince were six months old, Chu Yue was made empress, and the little prince became the crown prince.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is...in the Peony Pavilion..."
The palace maid's cautious voice clearly showed how frightened she was.
"Where are the Crown Prince and the Princess?"
"Also...at the Peony Pavilion..."
The emperor's face darkened, and he turned to go out to find someone.
Inside the Peony Pavilion, the three-year-old princess asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Mother... why is that older sister crying?"
On stage, two lovers were forced to separate, and the woman cried heartbrokenly.
The three-year-old prince didn't want to see these things. He started laughing, then cried, so he kept a cold face. But when his sister asked him this, he perked up his ears to listen.
"What are they doing...?"
"Empress!"
Chu Yue was interrupted by the emperor before she could finish speaking, and the emperor seemed quite annoyed.
The mother and her two children exchanged a glance, then turned to look at the emperor.
The emperor approached with a stern face. Before he knew it, the empress had brought the crown prince and princess to see these things again. Wasn't she afraid of corrupting the princess?
"Your Majesty...you've arrived."
"Father..." the Crown Prince and Princess said in unison.
The emperor's cold expression almost crumbled. He stepped forward and picked up the princess, saying, "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. You're not allowed to look at these things next time."
The princess glanced at her mother, but was still most afraid of her father, the emperor. She nodded in agreement: "Yes... I will listen to my father."
“Your Majesty… Mu Mu wanted to come,” Chu Yue winked at the Crown Prince.
The crown prince, his face cold, said, "I will obey Father..."
Chu Yue: "..."
Just like his father, cold and ruthless...
Chu Yue snorted lightly, ignored the three of them, and went back to the palace on her own.
Fengze Palace
The little princess ran up to Chu Yue and said, "Mother... Xiaoxiao was wrong..."
Chu Yue picked her up and asked affectionately, "What's wrong?"
"Mother...is angry..."
Chu Yue kissed her little face affectionately. This little devil, why is she angry?
She just wanted the emperor to spend more time with the children.
The emperor and the crown prince appeared at the palace gate, looking exactly alike. Chu Yue snorted and ignored them.
The cold-faced young prince walked over: "Mother..."
Chu Yue couldn't help but smile and hugged the Crown Prince, saying, "Mother is not angry."
The emperor walked in, his expression slightly serious: "Crown Prince, take your sister to play for a while. Your father has something to say to your mother."
The prince took the princess outside.
"Your Majesty, what is it?" Chu Yue thought something had happened when she saw his serious expression.
The emperor picked up Chu Yue and carried her to the bed, where she looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Is this what it is?"
Chu Yue: "..."
"Your Majesty, why are you like this?" Chu Yue punched his chest.
"Empress, how many days have you neglected me?" the Emperor asked, his voice filled with grievance.
"It's all because His Majesty was so unrestrained." Her back was only just recovered.
The emperor didn't care about anything else and went his own way.
"..."
……
"Father... Your Majesty, your humble servants do not wish to read these." The Crown Prince looked at the large pile of memorials in front of him, his little face scrunched up.
The emperor comforted him, saying, "You are already eight years old. It's time for you to learn to share your father's burdens."
Why not let your sister come?
"My younger sister is still young."
The Crown Prince: "..." They are the same age.
"Father, why don't you and Mother have a younger brother? Let him come and see you. I'm really tired of this."
He didn't just start watching now; he's been watching since he was four years old.
The emperor wanted to, but the empress forbade it, and there was nothing he could do.
"Even if you have a younger brother, he's still so small, so only you can see these things."
The emperor dashed the crown prince's expectations.
The crown prince picked up the memorial with a disheveled look on his face, his expression full of sorrow.
……
Ten years later
The Crown Prince's Wedding at the Eastern Palace
"Sent into the bridal chamber..."
The Crown Princess sat upright on the wedding bed, her fingers tightly clenched, turning slightly white. She had heard that the Crown Prince was always cold-faced, even more so than His Majesty.
"Greetings, Your Highness..."
The Crown Prince sat down on the edge of the bed and drank the nuptial wine with the Crown Princess. The hall then fell silent.
The eighteen-year-old crown prince was handsome and upright. Having followed the emperor since childhood, he already possessed the imposing aura of someone in a high position.
The Crown Princess trembled slightly as soon as she sat down next to her.
Why are you shaking?
The Crown Prince spoke in a cold voice, but then realized it was inappropriate; his mother had said that women should be treated with gentleness.
"Is the Crown Princess afraid?" Her voice softened considerably.
The Crown Princess's lips trembled: "Your Highness...the veil...is not..."
The prince paused slightly, picked up the wedding ceremonial scale, and lifted the veil, revealing a beautiful face with delicate features and large, watery phoenix eyes looking at him anxiously.
When his father and mother were choosing a crown princess for him, the crown prince was dismissive and didn't even want to look at her.
At this moment...
The Crown Princess lowered her head shyly, nervously fidgeting with her fingers.
The prince looked at the pale fingertips, reached out and grasped them; they were soft, delicate and smooth.
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness, it's time to rest."
As the bed curtains fell, the Crown Princess looked at the person on top of her with nervousness and shyness.
The Crown Prince's expression softened for once: "Don't be afraid, I will be gentle."
"Mmm..." The woman's shy moan was the best response.
……
Fengze Palace
"Empress, it's late, go to sleep," the Emperor urged once again.
Chu Yue couldn't sleep. Today was the Crown Prince's wedding, and she wondered if her cold-faced son would frighten the Crown Princess.
"Your Majesty, do you think Mumu... he can do it?"
"What do you mean?" The emperor hadn't even realized what was happening.
“Your Majesty…” Chu Yue glared at him.
emperor:"……"
Do you need to teach me that kind of thing? Every man knows how.
"Go to sleep." The emperor laid down, holding Chu Yue in his arms.
Chu Yue kept babbling on and on, refusing to sleep: "Your Majesty... the Crown Prince is so grown up, and I'm getting old..."
When the Crown Prince got married, the Empress had so many feelings, saying, "He doesn't age, he's still so young."
"The princess has grown up and it's time to choose a husband for her. I'm so reluctant to let her go..."
Chu Yue was still talking when the emperor fell asleep. Chu Yue turned over and ignored him.
Second day
"Your subject greets Your Majesty and Empress Dowager..."
"Your subject greets Your Majesty and Empress Dowager..."
The Crown Princess accompanied the Crown Prince to Fengze Palace to pay her respects. When she stood up, the Crown Prince helped her up.
Chu Yue smiled knowingly: "Lian Qiao, quickly, give the things I prepared to the Crown Princess."
The Crown Princess respectfully accepted the gift: "Your subject thanks Your Majesty."
"Your Highness, you must treat the Crown Princess well," Chu Yue gently instructed. "Don't frighten her."
The Crown Princess lowered her head shyly.
"Mother, don't worry."
The emperor took the crown prince to the study, and Chu Yue kept the crown princess behind to speak.
"How well does the Crown Prince treat you?" Chu Yue asked, referring to what happened last night.
The Crown Princess blushed slightly: "Mother... His Highness treats me very well..."
Although he was domineering and somewhat fierce, he became very gentle and even coaxed her later.
"Then I am relieved."
"Mother..."
On the other side, the Crown Prince was shocked: "Father, you said you wanted to take Mother out of the palace for a trip?"
"Your mother wants to go out for a walk, and your father has no choice but to grant her wish."
"But I just got married..."
"Perfect."
Just as the Crown Prince and Crown Princess returned to the Eastern Palace, the Emperor took Chu Yue out of the palace.
The princess ran to the East Palace and cried sadly. The Crown Prince comforted his sister while feeling helpless about the burdens he carried.
