Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

However, when Xie Yun'an arrived at Yuxiu Palace, he was still more drunk than Yao Jinse had expected.

Fortunately, the wine in this era is not too intoxicating, and as an emperor, Xie Yun'an's alcohol tolerance is not particularly bad. However, looking at his slightly shining eyes, Yao Jinse couldn't help but sigh.

The fact that the emperor drank was insignificant, but if the emperor got drunk in Yuxiu Palace and delayed tomorrow's court affairs, that would not be a good thing.

Apart from anything else, the Queen’s reprimand is certain.

Yao Jinse held her head high and served carefully, but Xie Yun'an was obviously not interested in her. Not long after she sat down, she ordered someone to bring the little princess over. But in such weather, the children would have fallen asleep. What would happen if she got cold?

Seeing that the little eunuch Mao Tuan was about to step out of the inner palace door, Yao Jinse had to call him to stop.

"Your Majesty, the princess has gone to bed now. It's getting late outside and it's a cold winter night. The princess is weak and it would be bad if she got cold. If Your Majesty is interested, why not go and take a look yourself?"

Xie Yun'an is a man with a lot on his mind, but he doesn't show it on his face. If you try to please him and obey him in everything, he may not know what he is thinking. Yao Jinse doesn't have the good innate conditions like the imperial concubine to make Xie Yun'an put his heart on her, so you can't just go along with Xie Yun'an.

Xie Yun'an is now in his thirties. He has an introverted temperament and never shows his emotions. In this palace, only the imperial concubine can really make him fall in love with her. Even the heroine of the original book, Qiao Yanran, spent the last days of her time in this palace in a mixture of his favor and suspicion.

Yao Jinse never thought that she could be compared with the imperial concubine, so she had no capital to be willful, but fortunately, Xie Yun'an was a more reasonable person. Even if these women in the harem could not get his true heart, they were still his bedmates and had some feelings for him. Since he appeared in Yuxiu Palace, he naturally would not hurt Yao Jinse's face because of a harmless remark from Yao Jinse.

Not to mention that Yao Jinse's considerations were very reasonable. It was indeed a bit inconsiderate of him to bring the princess over at this time.

He pinched his brows. After sitting for a while, the drunkenness had subsided a lot, and he didn't want to see his daughter much anymore. He suddenly thought about it and remembered that when he came in just now, the golden osmanthus outside were gone, and instead there seemed to be some plum blossoms blooming?
I didn't pay much attention when I came in, and I don't know if it's white plum or red plum...

Xie Yun'an was thinking about the plum blossoms and wanted to go out and take a look. Naturally, he didn't think about the person who would accompany him.

But just as he was about to open his mouth, he remembered what Yao Jinse had just said about the princess being afraid of the cold - girls are always not as strong as boys, and Yao Jieyu just risked angering the emperor by speaking out of a loving mother's heart, and this kind of thought is rare.

Having grown up in the palace, Xie Yun'an was used to seeing concubines using their children to compete for favors, so he had long been accustomed to this.

Apart from anything else, when he was still in the palace, even Concubine Zhuang always invited him to have meals or stay overnight in the name of the eldest prince! So when he saw Yao Jinse's motherly behavior, he really felt that Yao Jinse seemed to be different from other concubines.

It's just that her appearance is not outstanding. If Yao Jieyu was better-looking and had the recommendation of the imperial concubine, he wouldn't mind favoring Yao Jinse more. After all, at this age, a woman's charm is actually the best.

Under the influence of alcohol, the beautiful scenery under the dim light made Xie Yun'an, a "wise ruler", feel a little warm: "Put on a thicker coat and go out for a walk with me. It's a little cold outside. Don't let yourself get cold."

Not hearing the expected scolding, Yao Jinse knew that her guess was half right. Naturally, she was in a good mood. She quickly bowed and pulled Bai Tan into the inner room.

Xie Yun'an certainly wouldn't wait for her in the room. While Yao Jinse was changing clothes, the emperor, who was thinking about how to sober up, strolled out the door. There were also quite a few people standing outside, all of them were the emperor's followers, and they were all shrewd people. When they saw their master coming out and seeing that he didn't look angry, they all hid in the shadows at the foot of the wall to avoid disturbing their master's interest.

The plum blossoms, pines and cypresses planted in the yard by Yao Jinse were all newly moved in. She arranged them carefully, interspersing the red flowers and green pine needles properly. After all, now is not the main season for plum blossoms to bloom, and the fact that so many red flowers can be bloomed is already a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the servants in the greenhouse.

In fact, this harem is like a big company. Although everyone has their own destiny and holds different positions, they still rely on their skills to make a living. People with a skill can always survive better. If they don't know anything, they can only do hard labor and may not live for many years before being buried in this bottomless palace.

When Yao Jinse came out, she saw Xie Yun'an standing with his hands behind his back not far from the flower bed, looking up at the flowers. Although it was not yet the season for plum blossoms to bloom, the bright moonlight shining on the flower buds was quite interesting.

Yao Jinse has always been a vulgar person and does not know how to appreciate this kind of literary and artistic temperament. If Qiao Yanran were here, she might be able to accompany the emperor in reciting poems and composing essays, but for her, she could only say what she thought.

She walked behind Xie Yun'an and called softly, "Your Majesty, I asked someone to prepare tea and snacks on the small table. Your Majesty, why don't you move over and sit down?"

Xie Yun'an turned around when he heard the voice, but was slightly stunned.

In his memory, even when they first met, Yao Jinse never had this attitude.

Yao has been a silent person since she entered the palace. She is just like her appearance, which is unremarkable. She cannot be said to be ugly, but she is definitely not impressive either.

Like a quiet stone.

Even at night, when the two of them lay in bed, they never behaved inappropriately and followed exactly what the maids taught them.

So the fact that Yao Jinse was able to conceive this child was entirely due to her own luck.

When I saw Yao Jinse again after she gave birth, she was much better than before, but still just so-so. Compared with the imperial concubine's hotness and boldness, it seemed that all the women in the harem were bland.

So in comparison, Yao Jinse is even less outstanding.

But today Yao Jinse was wearing a silver-red cloak.

This color...actually fits her usual dressing style. Although it is red, it is not bright. There are only some flower and bird patterns embroidered on it, which is not unusual.

But Yao Jinse took off her bun and only inserted a plain silver hairpin in her soft long hair. When the moonlight fell, the silver light and the plain red light complemented each other, giving a sense of beauty like snow after a clear day in the east mountain. (End of this chapter)
