What’s wrong with him? Xiaobao looked at the other party’s chubby face that was currently wearing a smile. She seemed to have let loose and played like crazy at Qing Wang Manor these past few days. She had only just been back, but now she had to go home again. He was the only one who was unhappy, but she seemed to be wild with joy.
Knowing that it would be difficult to discuss complicated matters with Yueyue, he could only try to express himself with simple words. “When you go back this time, it won’t be easy for us to meet in the future.
“How could that be? I can always come and find you to play every now and then.”
“Then you must remember what you just said.”
Yueyue felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but before she could figure out what it was, she heard Xiaobao continue, “Before, I had always played with you. You can’t be ungrateful.”
Although Yueyue might not understand what it meant to be ungrateful, she could tell it meant something she didn’t want to be.
“I definitely won’t be ungrateful, and I will come to play with you often.”
Xiaobao nodded. “Alright. Then you should come over every other day. It’s best to come after I finish my classes in the palace, otherwise, I won’t be here.”
After hearing him ask her to come over every other day, Yueyue felt a little awkward.
“Isn’t every other day too frequent? I’m afraid my mother won’t have the time to bring me over so often”
“But you promised me just now.” After Xiaobao finished speaking, even he felt that he was exaggerating a bit so he changed his words again. “Then every three days.”
Yueyue was still in a dilemma, “But I promised Zhuzhu that I will visit her often to play.” Recently, Yueyue had been going over to Qing Wang Manor often and her relationship with Zhuzhu had greatly improved. Both of them were little girls, so they shared a lot of common interests when playing together.
Ignoring Xiaobao’s dark face, Yueyue thought for a while and then said, “How about every five days? I can go find Zhuzhu during the other days.”
Then, in other words, Zhuzhu was more favoured than him, much more favoured than him by several folds. The problem was that Yueyue was a very stubborn little girl. She wouldn’t change her mind after deciding on something. Xiaobao also couldn’t make it too obvious. He could only stare at the other party’s little face as he made up his mind. If worse comes to worst, he could always go to Qing Wang Manor himself.
As for what happened next, Yueyue finally followed her parents back to Duke Zhenguo Manor. As for what Qiao-shi encountered when she returned, that’s a story for later.
On this side, Jin Wang and Yaoniang returned to their previous level of intimacy.
A few days later, Yaoniang watched Jin Wang and Xiaobao leave the house in the morning. According to her usual habit, she would then go back to sleep. Right as she was about to fall asleep, unexpectedly good news arrived.
Even after receiving the imperial decree, Yaoniang was still in a daze.
Fortunately, Fucheng was there. After seeing off the eunuchs who arrived to announce the imperial decree, Yaoniang returned to Rongxi Courtyard, but she couldn’t immediately return to her senses.
“Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness.”
Yaoniang finally returned to her senses. She wanted to say something, but then realized she couldn’t close her mouth from smiling so hard. She also didn’t know what to say, so she simply said everyone will be given a bonus.
Yu Chan, stood up first to thank her for the generous reward. Then she said to everyone else, “Alright, alright, everyone withdraw.”
Once everyone left, Yaoniang showed a silly look on her face. “Yu Chan, quick, slap me so I know I’m not dreaming.”
Yu Chan laughed, “Your Highness isn’t dreaming. This is indeed an imperial decree to make you Jin Wang’s consort.”
“But, but, how could His Majesty agree?” After all, she was born into a poor family. One must know that the main consorts of the various princes were all daughters of noble families.
Yu Chan thought for a while. “Perhaps His Majesty is trying to compensate Your Highness for the grievances you suffered that day?”
Could it be? Yaoniang looked at the imperial decree on the kang table. If this was true, she wouldn’t mind going through that a few more times. Then remembering how dangerous that had been, she scolded herself for thinking such unlucky thoughts.
This happiness lasted for the entire day even to Jin Wang’s return.
Yaoniang suppressed her giddiness until Jin Wang finished changing into more comfortable clothes. After waving everyone to retreat, she grabbed Jin Wang’s hand. “Your Highness, did you do this?”
Jin Wang looked at her and acted ignorant. “Do what?
“Do this.”
Seeing her dumbfounded expression, Jin Wang wanted to continue acting ignorant. However, as Yaoniang looked at him with a threatening gaze, he could only nod lightly.
“If you’re talking about that matter then it was indeed benwang who did it.”
Yaoniang’s expression suddenly became complicated. She felt moved, with some happiness, plus a little excitement and a little sadness. All in all, her emotions were very complicated. It took her a long time to formulate a regular sentence, “Why did His Majesty agree to it?”
“I don’t know.” Jin Wang would never tell her what he did to make Emperor Hongjing agree to this matter.
Since it was a side consort being promoted to the main consort, there didn’t need to be a lavish ceremony or anything. At most, it was a matter of moving to the main courtyard. However, Yaoniang had no plans to move to the main courtyard for the time being. This was because Jin Wang wanted to rebuild and renovate the main courtyard, so this step was naturally omitted. Besides this, there would also be changes made to the imperial family’s genealogy recorded on the jade slip. For example, Yaoniang would now be recorded as the consort instead of the side consort. Xiaobao and Erbao would also change from being shu sons to di sons.
However, a big wedding banquet was still held at Jin Wang Manor.
It was said to be a full moon banquet for Jin Wang’s second son, but everyone who came to offer their congratulations knew what they were actually celebrating.
Although people gossiped in private, on the surface, no one dared to say anything unpleasant. Even those arrogant noblewomen who always looked down on others offered nice words with a smile on their faces. After all, the edict to legitimize her status was written by Emperor Hongjing himself.
Whoever dared to make trouble would imply they were dissatisfied with Emperor Hongjing.
Now that the second prince An Wang, the fourth prince Yong Wang, and the seventh prince Qing Wang were all abandoned or disliked for various reasons, the fifth prince Jin Wang immediately stood out. The chances of him ascending the throne in the future weren’t small, so naturally, no one was stupid enough to offend him at this time.
On this day, Yaoniang appeared in public for the first time as the mistress of the household. Holding Erbao in her arms, followed by Xiaobao, she accepted congratulations from all those who came to congratulate her.
This day was very tiring, but Yaoniang was very happy.
What she felt was an unprecedented joy.
Even though she had been reborn and great things have happened, she never would’ve imagined that one day she would be able to stand next to Jin Wang as his wife.
She trembled with excitement. Agitation. Anticipation.
It was night. In a sea of ??red, two thick dragon and phoenix candles were lit on the high rosewood cabinet.
This pair of dragon and phoenix candles was specially prepared by Jin Wang, and they were lit all night. Outside, the big red lanterns hung in the yard and on the veranda remained lit the entire night.
Under the red canopy, two figures intertwined the whole night.
This night, Yaoniang was especially enthusiastic and passionate.
She took the initiative to go on top. As she reached her climax, unable to control herself, she leaned her head towards Jin Wang’s ear and whispered words of love over and over again.
It was the first time that Jin Wang realized he couldn’t bear the grace of a beauty. He didn’t say anything, but his movements became rougher and rougher until she was utterly defeated. Even then, he still chased after her, reluctant to give up. He held her and ruthlessly thrusted a few more times.
It wasn’t until the end that he said something in a low voice. At that time, Yaoniang was already barely conscious, but she still caught it in her ears.
What’s wrong with him? Xiaobao looked at the other party’s chubby face that was currently wearing a smile. She seemed to have let loose and played like crazy at Qing Wang Manor these past few days.
