Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Chapter 126 Adding New People

Green Medicine paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded, "Yes..."

Jiang Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief and excitedly grabbed Lvyao's hand, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Lvyao!"

The rest of the day was exhausting for Green Medicine, but he managed to restore all the beauties to their original state before dinner.

When Jiang Qingyan returned to Chaoyang Palace, all the men in the hall stared at her intently, their eyes shining.

Yi Luo spoke first: "Husband, I heard that you drove all the women out of the palace today! That's wonderful! The harem will be much more spacious from now on!"

I can tell you that it was Gulimi who told everyone after she came back. No wonder everyone looks so radiant.

Jiang Qingyan curled her lips and teased them deliberately, "Yes, the harem is now spacious enough, it's time to add some new concubines."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became agitated and rushed over.

"Why is my husband adding another concubine? I only served him once this month..."

"My lord...aren't we all capable of serving you well enough..."

"Looks like I'll have to put in even more effort when serving you in bed from now on..."

"No... I need to go find the courtesan and learn some new tricks..."

"Is it my royal brother's turn to serve me tonight? Go for it, royal brother... make sure you satisfy your husband..."

"Actually... I think that cook is quite good-looking and sensible. If my husband is going to marry someone new, he should marry him..."

As Mo Ting finished speaking, the noise of the crowd stopped abruptly, and everyone turned to look at Mo Ting with disbelief.

Did the Empress just say that? She's always been petty; why is she so magnanimous today?

Mo Ting's main reason was that Liang Cheng was the person he had the most contact with during his amnesia.

She not only cooked for him meticulously every day, but also treated him with utmost respect, never resorting to any tricks to seduce her husband...

Such a virtuous person, even if she enters the harem, will not steal her husband's exclusive favor.

Just then, the sound of a plate falling to the ground came from outside the door.

Liang Cheng stared wide-eyed, standing blankly at the door, completely unaware that the plate in his hand had fallen onto his foot.

Jiang Qingyan stared at the shards of plate on his feet, her brow furrowing. She quickly called out to him, "Liang Cheng, doesn't your foot hurt?"

Liang Cheng snapped back to his senses, only then realizing the sharp pain in his instep. Looking at the scattered braised beef on the floor, he said nervously, "Your Majesty... I'll go to the kitchen and get another plate right away..."

Jiang Qingyan quickly stopped her, saying, "No need, please come in and sit down."

Then he said to Eunuch Wang outside the door, "Old Wang, go and fetch the imperial physician."

Liang Cheng pursed his lips, feeling a chill emanating from all the men in the room, and was momentarily at a loss.

Mo Ting coughed lightly and said softly, "Liang Cheng, your husband asked you to come in, so please come in."

With the Empress's backing, Liang Cheng finally mustered his courage, limped into the hall, and casually found a place to sit down.

His eyes kept glancing at Jiang Qingyan, wondering if the Emperor would heed the Empress's advice and marry him into the harem...

Jiang Qingyan looked at Mo Ting with some surprise. This jealous man was actually recommending a man; he was truly becoming more and more like an empress...

Soon the imperial physician came to apply medicine and bandage Liang Cheng, and Liang Cheng naturally stayed to have dinner with him.

Everyone just ate in silence, heads down, and no one brought up the matter of adding a new member again...

After dinner, everyone returned to their respective palaces.

Jiang Qingyan smiled and took Mo Ting's arm, asking softly, "Baby, why did you suggest that Liang Cheng enter the harem?"

Mo Ting smiled slightly, "Because my husband likes him, doesn't he?"

Jiang Qingyan nodded somewhat shyly. She did indeed like Liang Cheng; he was handsome, honest, and had skillful hands...

In modern times, that would be a perfect gentleman!

She tilted her head back and gently kissed Mo Ting's lips, whispering, "Baby, I promised Ning Ruyu I'd sleep at her place tonight, and she'll leave tomorrow morning..."

Mo Ting gently brushed a stray hair from Jiang Qingyan's forehead, his eyes filled with tenderness. "Alright, but my husband has to let me eat my fill before we go..."

Having said that, he bent down, scooped Jiang Qingyan up in his arms, and strode to the bedside...

After a long while, Jiang Qingyan was panting heavily, but she still forced herself to sit up, muttering, "I have to go find Yu'er, I won't be able to see her again after tomorrow..."

Mo Ting gently stroked Jiang Qingyan's hair and said softly, "Husband, don't worry, I'll go and get you some hot water first."

With that, he put on his outer robe and strode out of the bedroom.

A moment later, Mo Ting poured two buckets of hot water into the bathtub, carried Jiang Qingyan inside, and carefully washed her.

After making sure there were no more sweat stains on her body, I took her out to dry her off and helped her put her clothes back on.

Jiang Qingyan anxiously looked out the window at the night sky, wondering if Yu'er was getting impatient waiting...

As soon as she put on her outer robe, Jiang Qingyan couldn't wait to run out and head straight for Qingliang Palace.

Mo Ting squinted, watching Jiang Qingyan's retreating figure, a strange feeling rising within him...

Could it be that my husband has truly fallen for Ning Ruyu?

But she's a woman...

No... if her husband liked her, he wouldn't have let her leave the palace. He must be overthinking it...

Inside the Qingliang Palace, Ning Ruyu, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, sat regally on the bed, quietly awaiting Jiang Qingyan's arrival.

As time went by, the light in her eyes grew dimmer and dimmer.

Is the Emperor... not coming tonight?

Just when she was feeling utterly hopeless, Jiang Qingyan, panting heavily, pushed open the door.

Ning Ruyu looked excitedly at the person outside the door and couldn't help but whisper, "Your Majesty...you've finally arrived..."

Jiang Qingyan leaned against the door, trying to calm her breathing before slowly walking inside.

I had only ever seen Ning Ruyu dressed simply before, but I never imagined that she would look so beautiful in such vibrant colors.

Jiang Qingyan chuckled and said, "After Yu'er leaves the palace, you can wear more of these bright colors, which will make your skin look even fairer."

Ning Ruyu slightly raised the corners of her lips, "This wedding dress was made by my maternal grandmother before she passed away, so that I could wear it when I got married. I didn't wear it the night I entered the palace because my maternal grandmother once told me that I should wear the wedding dress to the person I truly love, so as not to betray her feelings."

As the name suggests, the person Ning Ruyu truly loved was Jiang Qingyan...

Jiang Qingyan dared not continue the conversation and quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep... I have to attend the morning court tomorrow at 3 AM..."
