Chapter 219 The Cold-Hearted Emperor and His Favorite Concubine (Continued)
When Chu Yue woke up, it was already dark. She felt pain in her lower body and let out a soft moan.
The emperor immediately asked, "Jiaojiao, are you awake? Are you still in pain?"
Chu Yue gave a weak, forced smile; she could tell from almost a glance how panicked the emperor was.
She opened her eyes and said weakly, "Your Majesty, I am no longer in pain, but I am a little tired."
If she hadn't done that, she would have used the props and almost nothing would have happened, but it would have scared them.
"Jiaojiao, you've suffered so much." The emperor held her slightly cold little hand and said with heartache, "I heard your voice outside, and my heart ached terribly, Jiaojiao."
Helpless, Chu Yue could only comfort the man who was almost depressed: "Your Majesty, I am fine, aren't I? I didn't lie to you, so please put your mind at ease now."
"Hmm." Hearing her say that, the emperor's expression softened: "Jiaojiao, look at our son."
Chu Yue turned her head to look over, and saw a small bundle fast asleep: "Your Majesty..."
"My son is so handsome, it's all thanks to Jiaojiao."
Her little face is so fair and cute, it can melt anyone's heart.
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, he's so small..."
The emperor smiled and said, "That's how it is when a baby is first born."
The two new parents examined their little one with great curiosity.
Chu Yue spent almost two months in postpartum confinement, but the emperor, worried that she wasn't recovering well, sternly ordered her to rest for a longer period.
Faced with the emperor's domineering orders, Chu Yue had no choice but to comply. In the end, she couldn't bear it any longer and had to plead and beg before the emperor finally agreed, and Chu Yue was finally freed from her confinement period, which was just too boring.
Thank goodness it wasn't summer, or she would have gone crazy.
Chu Yue took a thorough bath and felt much more relaxed.
“Your Majesty, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time,” Mr. Xiao Tao reminded him.
Chu Yue dried her hair, but when she tried to put on her clothes, she found that they no longer fit.
"Xiaotao, what happened? Have I gained weight?"
Xiao Tao shook her head, looking at Chu Yue's figure, which had also become much fuller, and blushed slightly: "Your Majesty has not gained weight, your waist is still slender, and there is no difference from before, it's just that other parts... have become much larger."
She admired the Empress's graceful figure, and she guessed His Majesty would be even more so.
His Majesty has been here for quite a while now; his mistress might be in for a rough time.
His Majesty has endured for so long, he will surely be unable to resist devouring the Empress.
Chu Yue looked down, somewhat troubled. She had taken good care of herself during her postpartum period, but now it all seemed to have come back to haunt her.
Chu Yue adjusted her clothes at her chest and casually draped a gauze skirt over her shoulders: "This will do. I'll have the embroiderers remake it tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Tao helped her out, then silently withdrew.
Hearing the sound, the emperor looked up and saw Xiao Jiaojiao wearing a gossamer-thin gauze dress, her slender waist swaying, charming and beautiful.
Her body, much fuller than before, was even more alluring, and the emperor's gaze grew increasingly fiery, his heart churning with desire.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue's beautiful eyes were like water.
The emperor suddenly stood up, walked towards her, picked her up by the waist, strode to the bed, and threw her onto it.
"Didn't Your Majesty say you would only have one child? I thought Your Majesty would never touch me again."
Chu Yue's soft voice was seductive.
"I've consulted the imperial physicians, and as long as I..." the emperor leaned down and whispered in her ear, "if I don't get my lover... Jiao Jiao... Jiao Jiao won't get pregnant."
Chu Yue's face flushed red with shock. Why was this man asking such questions?
Simply…
"Your Majesty is too..." Chu Yue was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
"I couldn't resist. I underestimated myself. Jiaojiao, you are too tempting."
The emperor kissed her red lips again and again, breathing heavily.
"Your Majesty is talking nonsense..." Chu Yue muttered shyly in a low voice.
The emperor's gaze slowly moved downwards, growing increasingly passionate, his large hand covering her soft spot: "Jiaojiao, the night is too short, let's not waste it."
Inside the spring-like bed curtains, one could hear the emperor's heavy breathing and Chu Yue's soft moans.
……
When Chu Yue woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
She opened her eyes and saw someone standing guard beside her: "Your Majesty, you..."
Her voice was already hoarse, weak and feeble.
The emperor, remembering his beloved daughter crying and begging for mercy the night before, felt a pang of guilt: "Jiaojiao, are you hungry? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Chu Yue pouted, complaining aggrievedly, "It's all Your Majesty's fault, I was in pain..."
The emperor quickly pulled her into his arms and coaxed her tenderly, "It's my fault. I couldn't help myself for a moment, my dear. I won't do it again next time."
He had been holding back for too long and ate too quickly, making his little darling suffer.
"Your Majesty, I feel unwell and want to take a bath..." Chu Yue pleaded softly.
The emperor, of course, did not disobey her; he personally carried her to bathe, being careful, attentive, and considerate.
After she finished bathing, it was almost dark when the emperor carried her out and placed her on his lap to feed her.
Chu Yue was sore and weak, so she had to be served by the emperor.
"Your Majesty, where is my son?"
"It's so late now, the prince is asleep. We'll see him tomorrow."
"Alright then..." Chu Yue replied sullenly, then muttered under her breath, "It's all His Majesty's fault."
She did not get to hold her son today.
The emperor chuckled helplessly, "Fine, it's all my fault. You can punish me however you like, Jiaojiao."
"Hmph..." How could she dare...
"Here, have some more..."
……
Soon, the emperor promoted Chu Yue to Imperial Noble Consort, who assisted in managing the affairs of the inner palace, and her son was made Crown Prince.
The Empress had long since given up on life, and voluntarily handed over the Phoenix Seal, settling down permanently in the Buddhist hall.
Although Chu Yue was nominally an Imperial Noble Consort, everyone in the palace knew that she was practically no different from the Empress.
She had to take care of the child and handle all the affairs of the inner palace. Chu Yue was overwhelmed and left many things to Consort Shu.
Consort Shu gritted her teeth and practiced a set of boxing moves in the palace, then went off to handle official business dejectedly.
When the Crown Prince was one year old, Chu Yue felt unwell and summoned the imperial physician to inquire about his condition.
When the emperor heard that Chu Yue had summoned the imperial physician, he rushed over in a great hurry.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing the emperor's flustered state, Chu Yue said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I was just about to ask the imperial physician." The imperial physician had just finished taking the emperor's pulse.
"How is the Imperial Noble Consort?" the Emperor couldn't help but worry.
The imperial physician smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations! The Imperial Noble Consort is pregnant!"
The emperor froze, how could this be...?
Chu Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, then dismissed the imperial physician.
"Your Majesty, are you unhappy?" Chu Yue asked deliberately.
The emperor stood there, stunned, his expression complex.
"Jiaojiao...I..." He seems to have never done it...
"I'm going to give birth anyway, so there's no use in Your Majesty disagreeing," Chu Yue said seriously.
The emperor was both happy and worried. Several times, he had been unable to control himself because of his little darling, so now he was pregnant again. Alas.
"As long as Jiaojiao is happy, that's all that matters." What else could the emperor do? He could only protect his little Jiaojiao.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is too lonely. Wouldn't it be better to have a younger brother or sister to keep him company?"
"Okay... Jiaojiao is right."
Chu Yue nodded in satisfaction; the emperor never refused her requests.
Later, Chu Yue gave birth to a daughter, the emperor's eldest princess, who was doted on and cherished.
The emperor was even more extreme, treating her like a precious gem, afraid she would melt if he held her in his mouth or drop her if he held her in his hands.
Chu Yue did not have any more children; two were enough.
"Jiaojiao, thank you," the emperor said affectionately, embracing Chu Yue.
Chu Yue smiled gently: "I am willing..."
The two leaned against each other, gazing at the starry sky together...
