Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 16 A Day in the Life of a Harem Woman

Yao Jinse had a hard time eating this dinner.

She used to have dinner with the big leader. On such an occasion, even if the leaders and colleagues at the table pretended to smile until their faces froze, they would still have to stay at the table for several hours.

But even at that time, she could eat something. After all, she was hungry all day, and she could finally eat something. If she didn’t eat, she would lose money. The breeze is light, and he puts on a relaxed and natural appearance.

It is no different from the women in the palace.

However, having a private meal with a big leader is really a tormenting thing.

No matter how delicious the emperor's imperial meal was, it was almost half cold when it was delivered. Yao Jinse is not the head of the Yuxiu Palace, and there is no small kitchen for hot dishes, so he can only use the small stove for the princess to warm the soup. Warm up a few soup dishes, and eat the rest as cold dishes.

The most important thing is that the meal did not stop. Yao Jinse had to serve Xie Yun'an for dinner, and kept getting up to serve the dishes. There were a few times when she was too busy and almost dropped the dishes on the chopsticks.

Fortunately, Xie Yun'an is not a demanding person. He came here today to use this dinner to look for this brand, just to see his daughter, not to find fault.

After a dinner like this, Yao Jinse reluctantly ate a small bowl to pad his stomach, almost not even half full, but the result was that the emperor ate very comfortably.

Xie Yun'an had eaten, so he used the rest of the time to play with the little princess. Xie Yun'an showed great patience in playing with children who didn't know anything. When the ministers saw it, they guessed and didn't know what kind of expression to show.

But for Xie Yun'an, this was a rare relaxation.

The little princess is indeed cute, and when she teases her a little, she will unconsciously laugh like a child. Such a childlike nature made Xie Yun'an smile unconsciously.

Yao Jinse watched from the side, but did not step forward to disturb.

She knew that she was not suitable to appear in that position. She clearly knew that in the emperor's heart, her identity might be the biological mother of a princess, or an ordinary concubine, but definitely not a favorite concubine.

There is still some distance between the two of them.

……

But people always have to sleep at night.

Yao Jinse's usual make-up looks more youthful, but a person's youth cannot be suppressed by rouge and water powder, not to mention that since he has to sleep, he must take a bath at night.

Coming out of the warm pavilion to bathe and change clothes, Yao Jinse's whole body was glowing with a translucent radiance, which made Xie Yun'an, who was leaning on the bed and reading a book, brighten his eyes.

It's not because Yao Jinse is so beautiful, it's just that people are afraid of comparison. Yao Jinse dressed up in a mature way before, but now she is as fresh as a lotus. The contrast between the front and the back is too strong.

Yao Jinse didn't expect the effect to be so good. Seeing the look in Xie Yun'an's eyes, the drum in her heart slowly subsided.

She is not afraid of sleeping in bed. Who hasn't been in love a few times in two lifetimes?

Not to mention that the original owner even gave birth to a child.

Shyness cannot be shy. This matter itself is like a fish in water, and everyone has a tacit understanding.

Xie Yun'an only felt that Yao Jieyu was very caring tonight, not like a piece of wood like before. If Yao Jieyu hadn't been lucky enough to have a child that night, he probably wouldn't have come here for the second time .

Hu Shijie was guarding the door of the house. He was on duty tonight. He was going to keep watch for the emperor. After about [-] hour, the water was called inside the house. So the eunuchs who had already prepared brought hot water into the Warm Pavilion, tossing It took fifteen minutes for Xie Yunan to sleep peacefully in the main house.

Yao Jinse didn't have such a good life, she took advantage of the water left by the emperor, and with the support of Bai Tan, she tidied herself up, went back to the outside room, leaned on the beauty couch, and let out a sigh of relief.

She plans to sleep here today.

Although the maids had already pulled the quilt on the bed and put it on again, the emperor had already fallen asleep at this time, and it was really inconvenient for her to go and disturb her.

Yao Jinse could see most clearly that the emperor's performance tonight was just a whim, and this little bit of favor would not help her at all, let alone make her spoiled.

That is simply impossible.

Not only can she not be pampered, but she also has to keep her duty and do what she should do.

Bai Tan fanned her with a round fan, and said in a very low voice: "My lord has worked too hard today, in fact, it's not a big deal even if you go back to sleep."

Yao Jinse shook his head.

In fact, she was already very tired, and she didn't intend to move any more. She could only say that Xie Yun'an was worthy of being the hero of the novel, whether he was cheating or not on this point.

But she still kept in mind what she had to do tomorrow: "You remember to call me early tomorrow, I have to get up early to help the emperor change his clothes."

Then I have to go to Kunning Palace to pay my respects to the queen.

Although according to the palace rules, apart from the first bedtime, the concubine does not need to go to pay her respects the next day. Firstly, she has to serve the emperor, and secondly, sometimes she also needs to accompany the emperor for breakfast.

But Yao Jinse knew very well whether the emperor would have breakfast here, and if the emperor wanted to go to court early, he must leave early, so she had to get up early.

Being a concubine is exhausting work.

With such thoughts in mind, Yao Jinse fell asleep.

Things did go as she expected.

The emperor woke up early, fortunately Bai Tan was always alert, watched Hu Shijie go to wake up, and quickly called Yao Jinse who was on the beauty's bed, fortunately Yao Jinse changed clothes after washing last night, otherwise, it would be the same time to dress at this time A nuisance.

After tossing all morning, I have to go to Kunning Palace to pay my respects.

Although the queen said publicly that she didn't need to pay her respects, she still showed a satisfied expression when she saw Yao Jinse appearing. She didn't say much when she greeted her, and let everyone leave.

Seeing that Yao Jinse was in good spirits, Concubine Rong called Yibi and Yao Jinse to Chengqian Palace to talk.

It was almost noon when Yao Jinse and Yipin returned to the palace.

Yao Jinse was no longer in the mood to have lunch, and when she came back, she collapsed on the beauty's couch, exhausted from the inside out.

One sleep is another afternoon.

At night, she slowly woke up. Baitao warmed some porridge on the table and served it with a few dishes of side dishes, which tasted very delicious.

This is no longer dinner, but supper.

The emperor didn't turn over anyone's sign tonight, it is said that he stayed in Qianqing Palace to approve the papers.

Lying comfortably in the quilt, Yao Jinse couldn't help but think before going to sleep, if this kind of life continues, she may be worn out by this long time.
