Realizing that Zeng Rou was in a bad mood, Fu Rong immediately held her hand and rubbed it gently.

"Arou, there is no need to envy her. I just want Arou to be by my side. If I am not an emperor, then Arou will only be my wife."

"It would be great if I were not the emperor. Then I could live with you forever. We would just be an ordinary couple, working from sunrise to sunset, having many children, and leading a happy and prosperous life."

He was looking forward to it while hugging Zeng Rou. Both of them had anticipation in their eyes and were full of fantasies about such an ordinary life.

After being in the palace for half a month, Fu Rong still had no intention of favoring Azhi.

Ah Zhi was even less anxious. He just stayed in Luhua Palace, feeding the fish and planting flowers himself.

I wonder if she should go to the Qinzheng Hall to deliver some soup or water so that Fu Rong would know of her presence.

This made Empress Dowager Xu extremely anxious, so she directly ordered Azhi to go to the Cining Palace to pay her respects.

As soon as she arrived at the Cining Palace, she was met with a barrage of scolding.

"Yuan Chaohua, I asked you to enter the palace so that I could have children for the emperor. Is this how you want to have children for him?"

"It's been half a month since you entered the palace, but the emperor has no intention of visiting you. You are so heartless that you stay in Luhua Palace, either admiring flowers or feeding fish. Do you have any ambition?"

Ah Zhi knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes, not understanding why she was being scolded.

"Empress Dowager, if His Majesty does not summon me, I cannot sleep with you."

It really made Empress Dowager Xu laugh.

"If he didn't summon you, then you wouldn't know to go see him?"

Ah Zhi lowered her head, feeling a little uneasy. "But His Majesty is very busy, what if I disturb him?"

"You have never served in the palace since you entered it. Now you are the only mistress in the palace. If you don't fight hard, you will die of old age in Luhua Palace."

"Yuanshi, you take care of yourself."

These last words are a warning.

Ah Zhi's face turned pale and he nodded rapidly.

As soon as he walked out of the Cining Palace, he met Chen Yue, who was also stunned when he saw Azhi.

Probably I didn't expect to meet you in the Cining Palace.

Ahzhi, who had just walked out, was dejected, like an eggplant hit by frost, but when she saw Chen Yue, her eyes lit up.

"Eunuch Chen, why are you here in the Cining Palace?"

Ah Zhi excitedly ran up to Chen Yue and stared at him, wishing he could stare a hole through him.

So lovely.

Chen Yue looks even more handsome in the daytime. Wearing a red robe with python pattern, he looks even more feminine and charming.

Chen Yue didn't understand.

Why was it that every time Ah Zhi saw me, there was excitement in her eyes, as if I were a plate of her favorite pastries.

He bowed respectfully towards Azhi.

"Your Majesty, I have come to the Cining Palace to meet the Queen Mother. The harem is now without a master, and all palace affairs require the Queen Mother's approval."

Ah Zhi nodded, "Then Eunuch Chen, please go in quickly. I will go back first."

"Did your Majesty get scolded today?"

Thinking of Azhi's listlessness just now, Chen Yue couldn't help but ask.

Why am I talking too much again?

Whether the other party was reprimanded or not, it had nothing to do with me.

But Ah Zhi said without thinking, "I have been in the palace for half a month, but I still cannot be favored. The Queen Mother is angry and summoned me to give her a lecture."

The girl frowned slightly with a bit of distress, and muttered in a low voice without caring about her status.

"It was clearly him who didn't let me sleep with him, how can it be my fault? The Queen Mother is so unreasonable."

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words and actions."

The other party was really bold. Standing at the gate of the Cining Palace, he began to whisper about the Empress Dowager's faults.

Chen Yue's voice was not small, and it frightened Ah Zhi so much that she trembled all over. She looked at him with a confused look in her eyes, and finally lowered her head with red ears.

"I know..."

"Your Majesty, please return to the palace as soon as possible."

"Yes."

You are obviously the master, why do you have to stand here and obey orders?

Azhi came back to his senses and looked towards the Cining Palace, only to see that Chen Yue had disappeared.

Cuizhu supported Ahzhi and asked, "My queen, let's go back to the palace."

"Well... go to the Imperial Kitchen and ask for a bowl of soup. I'll have someone send it to the Qinzheng Palace later. Just consider it as my sincere thanks."

I didn't expect Ah Zhi to be so perfunctory. He just asked me to go to the imperial kitchen to ask for soup to be sent to the Qinzheng Hall. I had no preparation to show up at all.

Cuizhu suggested, "Why don't you go and send it off in person, Your Majesty? That would be more thoughtful."

"No."

Ah Zhi shook her head repeatedly, "If His Majesty is unhappy, I will be scolded again."

"I didn't finish reading my book yesterday, so I have to continue reading from the back today."

Seeing that the other party was really not going to send him off in person, Cuizhu did not continue to persuade him.

Delivering the soup personally would lower one's status, and Ah Zhi was unwilling to do so.

Inside Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Xu was complaining to Nanny Chen.

"This Yuan Shi is really stupid. I have already started to regret why I chose her to enter the palace."

Nanny Chen brought tea and soothed her, "I think Concubine Xian is a simple-minded girl. Your Majesty has just taken over the government and has been too busy to focus on having more children."

"This shows that your majesty is diligent in government and loves the people. He is a rare wise ruler in history. Queen Mother, please don't be too anxious."

Listening to Nanny Chen praising Fu Rong, Empress Dowager Xu put down the teacup with force.

"No, go and call the emperor to me. This sleeping arrangement is not just the problem of Concubine Xian. What does it mean that the emperor doesn't favor his own concubine and only looks at memorials every day?"

"He is already 20 years old. When the previous emperor was 20, he already had several princes, but he has never even touched a woman. I even doubt his health..."

Empress Dowager Xu looked conflicted.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Didn't the imperial physician check your Majesty's pulse? Your Majesty is strong and healthy, and in his prime. Sooner or later, he will make Concubine Xian pregnant."

Hearing Chen Momo say that Fu Rong was fine did not comfort Empress Dowager Xu at all.

"Go and call the emperor."

"Yes."

Nanny Chen walked out of the hall and looked at Chen Yue.

"Yue'er, I'm afraid the Queen Mother doesn't have time today. Why don't you come back in two days?"

"Aunt, nephew understands."

Looking at Chen Yue's leaving back, Nanny Chen went towards the Qinzheng Hall.

If one wants to invite Fu Rong, only Nanny Chen can do it.

It wasn't just Azhi who got scolded today, but Fu Rong as well, who was simply scolded terribly.

Queen Mother Xu was tired of scolding, and looked at the silent Fu Rong and said, "I am giving you the power. You promised me that you would allow me to take concubines and have children. If you don't have a prince or princess, it will only cause people to talk about it."

"They will wonder if their monarch has a hidden illness. Emperor, you are in a position to think about the people and the whole world. Think about it carefully. You must let the virtuous concubine sleep with you in two days."

There was a flash of struggle in Fu Rong's eyes.

But he still replied obediently to Queen Mother Xu, "Yes, son, I know. I'll take my leave now."
