”Relying on others.” Rong'er called out softly.

”This servant greets Imperial Concubine Rong.” Others bowed to Rong'er with smiles on their faces.

Rong'er nodded and said softly, ”They've already arranged to sleep.”

”It was arranged in a few days.” The person said softly.

Xuan Ye was washing his face, and when he saw Rong'er and Yi Tian speak, he looked up and interrupted them, ”Oh, when people first entered the Palace, Zhen forgot to tell them and was arranged to do some rough work. A few days ago, I told Aunt Ning to accompany her directly to the palace.

Rong'er smiled and looked at his servant. ”Since the emperor appreciates you so much, then you must wholeheartedly serve the emperor.”

”We should do our best.” A faint smile appeared on Yuan Yi's face. Under the dim yellow candlelight, he appeared exceptionally beautiful. Rong'er couldn't help but feel a trace of melancholy in his heart. Xuan Ye turned his head and saw Rong'er's expression. He shook his head and smiled.

After Xuan Ye had washed up and left the palace maids, Xuan Ye gently pulled Rong'er to the bedside and said with a smile, ”Rong'er, do you think that I am an imbecile monarch?”

”Your Majesty, why do you say that? Your concubine has never thought of it this way. ” Rong'er looked at Xuan Ye, puzzled.

”Rong'er, not all beautiful women will be favored by me, so Yuan Yi will not become my woman.” Xuan Ye said softly.

”Your Majesty …” ”Chenqie didn't think like that …” Being seen through by Xuan Ye, Rong'er felt a bit embarrassed and quietly lowered his head.

In fact, I know that Jiang Nan has brought Yuan Yi back this time, and everyone is guessing that she is the woman that I have brought back. All the concubines that I have met are trying to beat around the bush, but Rong'er, you and Imperial Concubine De went to Jiangnan with me, so we know why I brought her back, so you shouldn't make wild guesses. ”

”Yes, Your Majesty, chenqie was in the wrong. However, even if Your Majesty likes to depend on others, it's only right for you to favor her. No one would dare to criticize Your Majesty.” Rong'er felt happy in her heart, but she continued speaking.

Xuan Ye smiled bitterly. ”Aren't we having enough harem people yet? Have you forgotten what I said to you before the southern patrol? I am not an imbecile monarch. Rong'er, you should know that my harem has so many concubines, it's all because of my helplessness. ” Xuan Ye paused for a moment before asking softly, ”It's another year of the year's talent show, isn't it?”

Rong'er nodded as he thought to himself somewhat gloomily, ”The Triennial Competition is about to come again, and it's about time for a woman to enter the palace …”

Xuan Ye lightly caressed Rong'er's cheek and said softly, ”I have already decided that I will not select any concubine to enter the palace for this year's selection!”

Rong'er raised his head to look at Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye continued, ”I don't need these imperial concubines to serve as my means of rallying the fallen subjects. I've resolved the war in the south and recaptured Taiwan. Who would dare to disobey me?”

Rong'er was a little touched. When she looked up, Xuan Ye's face was already within reach, but he still couldn't help but blush. Under the dim yellow candlelight, the north wind of the capital was blowing outside, but inside the house, there was only warmth …

”Your Majesty …” Do you think that your concubine is old? ”

”How could that be …?” ”I won't be old, and you won't be old either …”
