Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 212 Heartless and Cold-Hearted Emperor × Little Palace Maid 23

Tanghua Palace

"Your Majesty, His Majesty will be here soon. Please rest."

Fangcao whispered a word of advice from the side.

After Chu Yue recovered, she began to manage the affairs of the harem. Every time she saw the complicated account books, she got a headache.

Looking outside, I saw that it was getting dark.

"Where's Ruanruan?"

"Your Highness, the nanny is currently in the side hall with the princess."

Chu Yue put down the account book, got up and walked out. She ran into the emperor as soon as she stepped out of the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects..."

"Get up." The emperor helped her up and took her wrist in his hand, which was thinner than before.

These days, she doesn't say it, but she's sad inside and often hides away to cry alone.

"Your Majesty, I was just about to go see Ruan Ruan." Chu Yue's face lit up with a doting smile when she spoke of the child.

"I'll go with you." The emperor put his arm around her and they went inside together.

"This servant greets Your Majesty and Consort Jin..."

Granny Qin held Ruan Ruan and bowed.

Chu Yue stepped forward and hugged Ruan Ruan. Ruan Ruan was almost seven months old and could sit and play by herself.

It kept making incoherent noises.

"Your Highness, the princess has just had her milk and is in great spirits right now."

The old woman stood to the side with a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, Ruanruan is a bit too heavy again," Chu Yue turned to the emperor and complained sweetly.

The emperor, with a tender expression, stepped forward and took it, saying, "No, Ruanruan is so small."

Chu Yue: "..."

After playing around for a while, Ruan Ruan got sleepy and her eyelids started to droop.

"Granny, please lull the princess to sleep," Chu Yue gently reminded her.

Granny Qin took it and held it in her arms with affection: "Yes, Your Highness..."

The emperor led Chu Yue back to the main hall, looked at the account books laid out on the table, and said in a low voice, "Is your body still able to take it?"

"Your Majesty... looking at the account books is so tiring. My eyes hurt and my hands are sore," Chu Yue complained.

The emperor took her hand and gently massaged her wrist: "You'll get used to it. From now on, you'll be in charge of making these decisions."

After a while, we'll make her empress. How can an empress not care about these things?

"I don't want to see it, it's too complicated," Chu Yue pleaded in a coquettish voice.

"I will find someone to help you. As my empress, it is only right that she should take care of these matters."

The emperor felt sorry for her, as she had just recovered from her illness and was already so tired, but he also wanted her to get used to things as soon as possible.

"Empress?" Chu Yue was taken aback, her beautiful eyes widening. "Your Majesty, my status... how could I..."

Reaching the rank of Consort is already a favor from His Majesty; the position of Empress is both high and distant.

"Is there anything I can't decide? Don't you want to be my empress?"

The emperor frowned slightly.

"No, no, of course I want to stay with Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty doesn't make things difficult for me."

Chu Yue quickly shook her head in denial, saying, "Just kidding, never mess with the emperor!"

The emperor then relaxed his brows and said softly, "It's just a matter of a word, nothing difficult at all."

"Your Majesty, I thank you..."

Chu Yue gave a coquettish bow.

The emperor still held her in his arms, and seeing her smile, he smiled slightly as well: "What can you do to thank me?"

Chu Yue had only said it casually, but when the emperor asked that question, she immediately froze.

The emperor suppressed a laugh: "My beloved concubine isn't being sincere."

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue playfully punched his chest, "Everything I have was given to me by Your Majesty. What could I possibly have to give back to Your Majesty?"

"My beloved consort, just give yourself to me," she thought, and being able to joke around with him like this finally cheered her up a bit.

These days, although I often see her smiling, there seems to be a hint of forcedness in her smile.

So the emperor felt sorry for her and was willing to tease her like this as long as she was happy.

"Your Majesty, I was born to be your concubine," Chu Yue nestled into his arms.

"My beloved consort is right." The emperor lowered his head and kissed her. "However, there is something I need to check."

Chu Yue raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt: "Your Majesty, what is it..."

The emperor lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, "I need to check if my beloved concubine is feeling better."

Chu Yue's face flushed instantly. How did we end up talking about this again?

She has long since recovered, and Tanghua Palace still has a lot of precious medicines and tonics piled up for her.

"Hmm? What does it mean that my beloved concubine is keeping her head down and not saying anything?"

The emperor's voice was low and seductive, and Chu Yue trembled slightly: "Your Majesty... how do you intend to examine me?"

So that means it's all right?

The emperor's smile deepened: "I naturally have a way, my beloved consort, just do as I say."

The emperor naturally knew that she had recovered, and the imperial physicians reported on her condition every day.

But out of consideration for her feelings, I didn't touch her.

I didn't expect her to agree today, so I said it jokingly.

Unexpectedly, she shyly agreed.

"Your Majesty... I refuse?" Chu Yue said coquettishly.

"Then I'll play the bad guy and force my beloved concubine, how about that?" The emperor tightened his arms around her slender waist.

Chu Yue turned her head away shyly and said reproachfully, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of being laughed at..."

"I'm not afraid." The emperor picked her up in one swift motion: "My beloved consort, submit to me."

Chu Yue buried herself in his arms in embarrassment, refusing to speak.

The emperor's affection deepened: "My beloved concubine, I cherish you."

This time, the storm on the bed started and then turned into tenderness.

By the time the emperor was satisfied, Chu Yue had already fainted, and the marks on her body could no longer be concealed.

The emperor, satisfied, hugged and kissed her again before personally carrying her to bathe.

Chu Yue was tortured so badly that she hasn't woken up yet.

The next day, Chu Yue woke up with a sore back and aching muscles: "Hiss..."

A sharp pain shot through her chest, and Chu Yue looked down, her cheeks instantly turning bright red.

After giving birth to Ruanruan, nothing else changed, but here...

The emperor loved it dearly, or rather, he loved it so much that he couldn't put it down.

Chu Yue quickly straightened her clothes, and it took her a while for the heat on her face to subside.

So much so that when the emperor came over at noon, he saw that Consort Jin was ignoring him.

They were fine last night, is she angry now?

The emperor was puzzled, but still asked patiently, "My dear concubine, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Yue glared at him, but still ignored him.

"Someone come here..."

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue hurriedly stopped him when she heard him about to call for help again: "I'm fine..."

"What's wrong with you?"

Chu Yue gritted her teeth: "It hurts, Your Majesty..."

"Where does it hurt..." the emperor coughed lightly, "Is it very painful?"

"Hmph... here." Chu Yue pointed to her chest and grumbled in complaint, "Your Majesty doesn't know how to be gentle."

The emperor was slightly uncomfortable; he had been a bit too rough last night.

"Shall I have the imperial physicians bring the medicine?" the emperor asked tentatively.

Chu Yue refused.

"I will wipe it for you myself."

Chu Yue refused to comply.

"Then what do you want?"

"Your Majesty is not allowed to touch me for the next three days."

emperor:"……"

"I will not agree." The emperor refused without even thinking.

He could never agree to something like that.

The delicate and pitiful Consort Jin was bullied by the emperor, her eyes filled with tears, yet she was powerless to resist.

"My dear, I love you."

Chu Yue: "..."
