The Story of the Charming Empress - C99

Yang Guang laughed, and lightly scratched the tip of my nose. This kind of intimate behavior was a few times better than when I was newlyweds, but it was hard for me to return to my original state of mind.

“Little Cu Tan!” What do you think I am? You can’t even leave a woman in one night? Tonight, I will watch you sleep. ”

After he finished speaking, he took off his outer clothes, leaned against the headboard, and held me in his arms. He doted on me to the extreme.

With a smile full of happiness, I fell into a deep sleep in Yang Guang’s arms.

The next day was the first day, and I slept soundly. When I woke up, there was already a ray of sunlight shining in from the east window. He touched his body, Yang Guang was no longer there.

“The Empress is awake?” Two pretty little ladies stood by my bed, almost identical, and if you didn’t look carefully, you would think you were seeing things and mistaking one for another.

When I woke up, both of them were delighted. They were young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, but they looked smart, with double knots and a round face that looked kind and friendly.

Seeing my puzzled expression, the two of them kneeled down and kowtowed to me.

This servant, Yuan’er, greets the empress. The empress is thousands of years old!” I wish the Empress a happy New Year, An Kangxiang!

When did the palace have such a happy couple? Thus, he asked:

“Are you twins?”

The two of them nodded in unison. “In reply, Empress, this servant and servant are twins.”

“Who sent you?” I asked again.

Without my order, the two of them didn’t dare to get up and replied while kneeling:

“In reply to the Empress, the Emperor has sent the servants over. There are also two palace maids and four eunuchs in the outer chamber, a total of eight people.”

So that’s how it is, when Yang Guang woke up early in the morning, did he specially go to help me choose a successor?

“All of you, get up. I need you to help me wash and change my clothes.”

“Yes sir!” Although the two of them were young, their movements were nimble and their work was steady. On top of that, they looked very happy. I couldn’t help but feel happy along with them.

After finishing his shower, he heard a eunuch yell outside the door:

“The Emperor has bestowed —”

There were a total of sixteen palace maids wearing similar outfits. Each of them carried a tray in their hands. There were clothes, jewelry, treasures, antiques, all of them extremely exquisite. Any one of them could be considered priceless.

The palace maids had just steadied their stance when they heard a burst of clear laughter:

“Hahaha …” The Love Queen woke up? This Emperor woke up two hours earlier and personally went to pick up the items.

Yang Guang focused on me, his eyes were filled with love, like a warm sun cage was placed on me, I was slightly moved, such a gaze almost made me intoxicated, at that moment, I even thought that Yang Guang’s love for me was not one bit inferior to Yang Liang’s.

But it was also only for a split-second. I deeply understood that the love of an emperor was like the clouds in the sky, and couldn’t be obtained. He could pamper any of the concubines in the six palaces, but his heart definitely wouldn’t stop at one person, even if I was his wife.

“Anything bestowed by His Majesty to chenqie, chenqie will be treated as a gem.” I gently bowed and said, “Chenqie wishes Your Majesty a happy new year!”

“We rejoice after loving you!” Yang Guang took my hand and said, “How about changing into my new clothes?”

I nodded, and Yuan Zhou immediately came forward to help me try on my new clothes.

She was wearing a long red dress with a gold phoenix dancing on the nine heavens, a jade belt tied around her waist, and a string of white peonies carved from tiny pearls on either side of her. She had nine of them in total, all of them glowing with splendor. Her arm was wrapped in a light muslin. She took off the ordinary jewelry in my hair, stuck it into a row of pomegranate and agate ingots, and her golden steps matched with a phoenix hairpin were magnificent to the extreme.

When I finished dressing myself and walked out of the inner hall, Yang Guang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and praising:

“Not only is she dignified and charming, but she is also luxurious and alluring. In the entire world, only the empress is worthy of her true beauty.”

Just as I was sighing, all the concubines came to greet the new year. My heart was filled with anxiety. Why did Yang Guang not bring me to fetch Zhao’er yet had to force himself to smile and deal with her?

All of a sudden, he felt like he was praising the palace maid, exchanging words with the concubine, receiving and delivering the gift. He was so busy that the sky was turning upside down.

The old woman was too old to work too hard, the dogs had to run errands, the other court ladies were not smart enough to do things well, and although Yuan Zi was more quick-witted, he was also a newcomer, so he was momentarily unable to make sense of the situation.

If Ying Xiu was around, it would be much easier for me. I sighed in my heart, but I couldn’t pull myself out. I had to send a group of two maids to help her recover.

Originally, she had no choice but to be the favorite concubine of an emperor. She had no family to pamper, and was always busy.

As I was pregnant, I was not allowed to enter the ancestral temple in the main hall of Sui and Sui, and thus saved a lot of time and effort. Yang Guang led a group of royal relatives and officials to offer sacrifices to the ancestors, and then returned to the palace at lunchtime.

Yang Guang did not even get the time to change his attire before he headed straight for Yongan Palace.
