Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 499 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (36)

The Eastern Palace was filled with joy, and the palace servants who received the rewards privately praised the Crown Prince and Crown Princess for their generosity.

On a summer afternoon, thankfully there was ice in the bedchamber to cool her down, otherwise her postpartum confinement would have been very difficult.

I got through my postpartum period smoothly. My two babies grew quickly, and their faces blossomed after the postpartum period. Their skin was smooth and fair, and their features were delicate and cute.

Shen Shuyi looked at the two little ones and felt very fond of them. They had big, double-lidded eyes and very round little heads.

She woke up; the two children in the crib next to her were still asleep.

Shen Shuyi only glanced at them a few more times before the two little ones seemed to sense it, opened their eyes, and started crying while sucking their little hands.

She had a palace maid bring the child over to breastfeed, and after the child ate his fill, he fell asleep. The wet nurse then took the child away.

"Your Highness, please get some rest."

"Ah."

Not long after the wet nurse took the baby away, a steady set of footsteps approached.

As Shen Shuyi adjusted her clothes, Zhao Heng walked around the screen and came over.

His gaze fell on the Crown Princess's rosy face, and she glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes.

Zhao Heng smiled and sat down. "I'll help you."

Before Shen Shuyi could speak, the man reached out and helped her straighten her clothes.

Seeing her blushing face, Zhao Heng, somewhat distracted, took off his boots and lay down beside her.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at my Crown Princess."

"The Crown Princess is getting more and more beautiful."

"loquacious!"

"I'm telling the truth." Zhao Heng hugged her. The two hadn't been intimate since late pregnancy, and she had mainly rested during her postpartum period. Now, seeing her alluring appearance with her clothes half-undone, a fire was ignited in his heart.

Zhao Heng lowered his head and kissed her lips deeper and deeper.

A warm palm moved down the back of my head to my front, and suddenly touched something damp.

He looked up in surprise. Because the kiss had been too forceful, Shen Shuyi was breathing heavily. When she opened her eyes, her shimmering eyes met the Crown Prince's gaze.

The dress I just put on is now messed up again.

Shen Shuyi blushed even more when he touched her in front of her, especially when she saw what was in his palm.
Zhao Heng's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He lowered his head as if possessed and swallowed the sweet fragrance in his palm.

When Shen Shuyi saw the man pull through, and noticed his Adam's apple bobbing, she... felt a surge of anticipation.

The man's kiss moved from his lips down to his collarbone, and then...
……

……

Shen Shuyi bit her lip, holding his head in her hands, "You, you really, how could you become so shameless?"

Zhao Heng could tell from her breathing that she liked it, so he became even more unrestrained.

Shen Shuyi was held in his arms and soon felt his long-dormant body.
……

……

As night fell, Shen Shuyi pushed his head away, "You have to leave some for the child!"

Zhao Heng agreed; this was just an appetizer, his favorite was still...
……

……

Jin'er and Fu'er grew up quickly and were exceptionally intelligent. The emperor was particularly fond of these two grandsons and often summoned them to his side to dine with him. However, when the children were three years old, the emperor's health deteriorated, and he no longer had the energy to be seen in public, let alone attend to state affairs.

Most of the affairs of the court were left to Crown Prince Zhao Heng, which made him much busier than before.

But no matter how busy he is, he always makes time to be with his wife and children.

When Zhao Jin and Zhao Fu were five years old, the emperor passed away, and Crown Prince Zhao Heng naturally succeeded to the throne as the emperor of Zhao.

On the day of the coronation ceremony, Crown Princess Shen Shuyi was made Empress, and the two walked side by side to receive the homage of the officials. Zhao Jin and Zhao Fu naturally became the eldest son and eldest princess, respectively.

Although Zhao Jin and Zhao Fu are twins, their personalities are completely different.

As the elder brother, Zhao Jin was much more mischievous than his younger sister, Zhao Fu, who usually maintained a serious demeanor more like her father.

On the night Zhao Heng ascended the throne, he held his empress in his arms and whispered, "Shuyi, I want to make Jin'er the crown prince." Shen Shuyi raised her hand, her fingers touching his lips, and looked directly into his eyes.

“Yanzhi, I know you love our child, but Jin’er is still too young and his character is not yet established. We don’t know if he will have the ability to become the crown prince in the future.”

“I can nurture him from a young age.”

"And what about Fu'er?"

Zhao Heng gripped Shen Shuyi's hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Shuyi, do you mean Fu'er would be more suitable?"

"Is that not allowed?" Shen Shuyi winked at him.

"I was being narrow-minded," Zhao Heng chuckled.

"There has never been such a precedent in any dynasty."

“However, if Fu’er truly has this ability, I will set this precedent for her.”

"Make her the Empress of Zhao!"

Shen Shuyi never expected him to be so open-minded, which was rare in this era, especially considering his past readings of Confucian classics.

She could tell that Zhao Heng was telling the truth.

……

After the late emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne. He treated his brothers well, and the brothers were friendly and respectful to each other. The court officials kept to their duties, and everything went smoothly.

Zhao Heng held an extremely grand ceremony for his coronation as empress, which aroused envy and even jealousy among the noble ladies of Chang'an.

Those who once looked down on the deposed crown prince and bowed their heads in fear of being chosen at the imperial concubine selection banquet all regret it now, especially their families.

Who could have imagined that a wild girl raised in the countryside could rise to become empress? At this time, some noble families began to have designs on sending their eligible daughters to the palace to become concubines.

During a court assembly, the ministers jointly petitioned the new emperor to select concubines to fill the harem.

Zhao Heng first looked at them with a calm gaze and said only one sentence.

"The Empress and I rose from humble beginnings and have long ago promised to be together for life."

"My harem consists of only one empress. All of you ministers need not mention this again. Anyone who brings it up again should remove their official hat before we can talk."

He was a wise and capable ruler, and he had no need to use women to maintain control of the court.

Most importantly, he will never betray Shuyi for the rest of his life.

For a time, the court officials were silent and dared not mention the matter again. They had sent their daughters to the palace for the honor of their families, but now their daughters had lost their official positions before they even entered the palace. Who would be willing to do that?
Before long, the news reached Shen Shuyi's ears, and Lvwu exclaimed, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is so good to you!"

"However, our Empress is also extremely good to His Majesty. You have no idea how many women in Chang'an envy the relationship between you and His Majesty."

Shen Shuyi chuckled softly but remained silent.

Zhao Heng's affection for her has reached its maximum. He would give up his harem for her, or even his life, if it meant leaving it empty.

Just then, two little ones ran over from not far away and jumped into her arms.

"Mother~"

"Mother Empress Dowager~ The Grand Tutor is slapping our palms~"

"It hurts~"

Shen Shuyi had one arm around each of them, while Fu'er on the left stood with her hands on her hips and said righteously, "Mother, the Grand Tutor didn't hit my palm, he only hit my brother."

"It was because my elder brother was reading military books while the Grand Tutor was giving a lecture."

“Sister, you are hurting your brother’s heart.” Zhao Jin looked heartbroken.

Shen Shuyi stroked their hair. "Then why were you reading military books in the Grand Tutor's class, Jin'er?"

"Because the Grand Tutor's lectures were so boring, I was almost falling asleep. I wanted to read military books to stay awake. Actually, I understand everything the Grand Tutor is talking about very well!"

Just then, a tall, bright yellow figure walked over.

Zhao Heng's authoritative voice rang out between the two children, "Grand Tutor Xun has made great contributions to the founding of the dynasty, is learned and knowledgeable, and is highly respected. Jin'er's distraction in class is disrespectful to her teacher and elders, and she deserves to be punished."

Zhao Jin and Zhao Fu immediately hugged their mother tightly, burying their faces in Shen Shuyi's arms.

"Father~"
