Chapter 17 So, Consort Shu's lover is the young imperial aunt?!

Although Emperor Xuanhe is now in his sixties, he is still vigorous and energetic, so he often summons his concubines.

Moreover, Emperor Xuanhe was somewhat obsessed with appearances; none of the concubines in his harem were not beautiful.

Thinking back to spending time with Consort Liu last night, Emperor Xuanhe found himself missing the aloof and icy Consort Shu tonight.

"Your Majesty, should we send someone to inform Consort Shu now?" Liu De asked.

"No need, it's getting late. I'll go directly there and have someone not disturb Consort Shu."

"Yes."

Soon, the imperial carriage arrived at Yikun Palace.

Since Princess Fuqing had already rested in the Kun Palace, only the eunuch Xiao Xizi was guarding outside the palace at this time.

The palace gates were not completely closed because Consort Shu had given prior instructions.

Fearing that Princess Fuqing might wake up hungry in the middle of the night, they arranged for the imperial kitchen to prepare food.

Just as Xiao Xizi was getting sleepy, he suddenly spotted the dragon carriage and his eyes widened in surprise.

Why is Your Majesty here?!
What should we do?

Xiao Xizi was about to bow when Emperor Xuanhe, who had alighted from the imperial carriage, shook his head and told him to be quiet.

They even waved for him to leave.

"Aren't you going down yet?" Liu De frowned when he saw the little eunuch standing there, looking hesitant and anxious.

"No, Eunuch Liu, there's something wrong here... My lady isn't fit to accompany His Majesty tonight," Xiao Xizi explained with difficulty.

Liu De frowned. What did he mean by "not suitable to accompany His Majesty"?

Could it be that there are other people in Consort Shu's palace?

Liu De couldn't help but joke and asked the same question.

Then Xiao Xizi nodded, then shook his head in fright.

Oh no, Her Majesty said we can't let anyone know that Princess Fuqing came to Yikun Palace.

When Liu De saw Xiao Xizi's appearance, his heart skipped a beat.

There are other people in Yikun Palace, could it be...?

Thinking of Consort Qin, who was recently punished.

Could it be that Consort Shu also...?

Consort Shu, you wouldn't be so confused, would you?

Having overheard their conversation and seen the guilty look on Xiao Xizi's face, Emperor Xuanhe began to have his own guesses.

His face immediately darkened.

Could it be that Consort Shu is having an affair behind my back?
There was no other way; with Consort Qin appearing and seeing Xiao Xizi's guilty look, Emperor Xuanhe had no choice but to think this way.

Anger also ignited in his heart.

"I want to see who this adulterer is!"

After speaking, Emperor Xuanhe stepped into the Yikun Palace.

"Your Majesty, you can't go in! What's inside..." Xiao Xizi said anxiously.

"Stop him and cover his mouth!" Emperor Xuanhe ordered.

So, Xiao Xizi's mouth was covered and he was held back.

He couldn't bring himself to say "Princess Fuqing" at the end; he could only watch helplessly.

Seeing Xiao Xizi's appearance, Liu De couldn't help but shake his head, "How can your Consort Shu be so confused?"

At this moment, Emperor Xuanhe strode into the hall and headed straight for his bed.

Upon entering the palace and seeing that there were no other eunuchs or maids serving him, Emperor Xuanhe became even more certain that Consort Shu was having a secret rendezvous with her lover!

Little Xizi outside is the lookout.

If he hadn't happened to come by tonight, we wouldn't have discovered it.

Soon Emperor Xuanhe arrived at his bedside.

The curtains over the bed were drawn, obscuring the view inside, though some outlines could still be vaguely discerned.

Emperor Xuanhe saw Consort Shu's silhouette and also noticed that she seemed to be holding something in her arms. "Hmph, that must be her lover!"
Emperor Xuanhe was furious and abruptly pulled open the curtain.

"Consort Shu, I want to see who your lover is..."

Before he could finish the next word, Emperor Xuanhe stared wide-eyed, frozen in place.

There was indeed more than one person on the bed.

There was indeed another person in Consort Shu's arms.

That was a tiny baby, and it was his little princess!
So, Consort Shu's lover is the young imperial aunt?!
"Hmm...who's making noise?" At this moment, the "adulterer" he was talking about was sleeping soundly, but was disturbed by Emperor Xuanhe's rebuke, and was vaguely about to wake up.

Consort Shu, however, was startled awake by Emperor Xuanhe's rebuke.

Consort Shu hadn't expected His Majesty to come tonight.

Upon seeing the imperial aunt in his arms, he was startled by a rebuke from Emperor Xuanhe.

Consort Shu gave Emperor Xuanhe a slight glare with her beautiful eyes.

Then he placed his hand on Sui Sui's back, patted her gently, and soothed her softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Under Consort Shu's gentle coaxing and smelling the unique fragrance that Consort Shu had given her, Sui Sui fell asleep again.

"What's going on?" Emperor Xuanhe gestured with his eyes, his gaze full of doubt.

Who knew how shocked he would be when he lifted the curtain and saw the little princess sleeping in Consort Shu's arms.

Fortunately, fortunately, the adulterer was...

No, no, how could the little princess be an adulterer!
Fortunately, the one sleeping in Consort Shu's arms was the little princess, otherwise...

Consort Shu then gestured for Emperor Xuanhe to leave, since she was currently sleeping with Princess Fuqing and could not get up.

Emperor Xuanhe glanced at Consort Shu for a moment, then could only turn and leave.

Then, Liu De understood.

It turns out there was no adulterer; it was Princess Fuqing inside.

Liu De glared at Xiao Xizi and scolded in a low voice, "Princess Fuqing is inside. Why didn't you say so earlier? Why are you acting all mysterious!"

Xiao Xizi, who was finally released, was also very helpless. "Eunuch Liu, what I wanted to say was covered by someone."

He wanted to say it, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Liu De: ...Okay,
"Tell me what exactly happened. Why is Princess Fuqing sleeping in Yikun Palace?"

"Yes."

So, Xiao Xizi recounted what had happened.

After hearing this, Emperor Xuanhe thought: ...Is Consort Shu so popular with the young princess?

but……

It would be good if the young princess liked the concubines in his harem.

Moreover, he knew Consort Shu's character.

She is aloof and proud, but has a kind and gentle heart; she is a simple person.

Consort Shu: ...Didn't you suspect me of cheating on you before? Now that you've realized you were wrong, you're saying I'm innocent and naive?

"Alright, then I'll head back."

The little princess is already asleep in Yikun Palace.

Emperor Xuanhe naturally could not wake the young princess and send her away.

He was also unable to get Consort Shu to serve him in bed.

So I had no choice but to head home on my own.

However, Emperor Xuanhe did not return to his own palace, but instead went to the other concubines' quarters.
-
The next day, Sui Sui woke up in Xiang Xiang's arms, feeling refreshed.

At that moment, she was holding her baby bottle and drinking milk.

With her chubby cheeks, she looked so cute and adorable that Consort Shu, who was having breakfast nearby, felt her heart melt.

If only she could give birth to a princess, as beautiful and lovely as my great-aunt.

Consort Shu didn't care whether she gave birth to a prince or a princess.

For her, having just one child to keep her company is enough!
