Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 418 Drunkenness
August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Two consecutive pieces of good news made Ning Chen very happy.

The first one that can be said is Ye Yun's maternal ancestral family, the current Royal Merchant Chu's family, which opened up a maritime trade line.

It was put into use in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and it is exactly one year in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. It has made a lot of profits, almost double that of land trade.

Now that the national treasury is getting richer, the Chu family's contribution is really not small.

What's even more rare is that the Chu family is humble and low-key, never taking credit or being greedy.

After much deliberation, Ning Chen didn't know what to reward, so he personally inscribed a plaque and sent it to the Chu family in Bianzhou to show the emperor's favor.

Moreover, because of his actions, the status of the Nanqi businessman has been improved a lot.

In the past, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants were the last. Even if they were rich, they were often despised.

Now that things have changed a lot, the Chu family has proved the value of merchants, and since then Nanqi people no longer look down on merchants.

These were all things that Ye Yun did not expect, but it was indeed because of her proposal that this series of changes was brought about.

And the other news cannot be said.

About the British government.

Now, Ying Gong and Chen Xianyi, father and son who are sitting together, are no longer of one mind.

Chen Xianyi was framed by his elder sister-in-law, Mei, who slandered him for wanting to poison his nephew who had a chance to win the title. Originally, Chen Xianyi thought his father would believe him, but after half a month in the ancestral hall, only his brother-in-law Liang Chengsi came secretly seen him.

Only then did he realize that because of his status as a concubine, his father probably never thought of asking him to become a noble.

Destroyed hope is born hatred.

However, the British government was cautious, even Chen Xianyi could only know roughly that the account book was hidden in the small Buddhist hall in the British government, and he didn't know the details.

But more or less the hiding place has been determined, which makes it easier to find.

Because of these two news, Ning Chen at the Mid-Autumn Festival was very happy, so he drank a lot of wine.

This time, he was vaguely drunk.

When the banquet was over, he had to go back to Jiuchen Palace, and he wanted Ye Yun to accompany him.

So he took Ye Yun back to Jiuchen Palace.

Now this is a place that Ye Yun rarely comes to, and Ning Chen usually goes to the harem to find her.

This time, Ning Chen was completely drunk, and he was so crooked that he couldn't stand up.

Ye Yun helped him to drink a bowl of hangover soup, and was dragged to take a bath in Shuangyan Pond.

"Hurry up and prepare the emperor's change of clothes, and then make the bed. I guess one bowl of hangover soup is enough, ah—"

The worried Ye Yun was pulled by Ning Chen to go out, while turning her head to tell the servants to do things.

Such slow steps made Ning Chen a little impatient, and suddenly hugged him horizontally.

"Qingqing's small steps, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk until dawn, so I will carry you there."

The servants at the side were in a hurry, Yuan Jiu bit the bullet and went over.

"Your majesty, you are drunk, you can't do this, what if you fall off the imperial concubine!"

"Get out, I'm not drunk, you're all guarding outside, I can't hold the imperial concubine anymore!" Ning Chen gave him an impatient look.

Seeing him like this, Ye Yun had no choice but to hug his neck tightly to ensure her safety, and then signaled the servants with their eyes not to follow.

After all, although Ning Chen's steps are a bit sloppy, his arms are still strong.

John wouldn't throw her off.

After entering the hot spring palace, it seemed that he was about to walk to the edge of the pool, but Ning Chen had no intention of stopping.

Ye Yun was a little anxious, kicked her legs, "Your Majesty, I haven't taken off my clothes, shoes and socks yet."

Ning Chen looked down, kicked off his shoes calmly, sat down by the pool again, and reached out to take off Ye Yun's shoes.

Just after taking off his shoes, he grabbed Ye Yun's waist and entered the pool.

The warm spring water suddenly drenched his clothes, Ye Yun stepped on the hem of her skirt, and accidentally fell back, submerged in the water.

Although Ning Chen was half-drunk, he acted in time, quickly picked him up and wrapped him in his arms.

In the weather in August, the clothes were light tulle, once soaked, the two hugging each other couldn't tell whether it was hot spring water or hot skin.

Seeing the unreal beautiful face of the person in his arms in the misty mist, he finally couldn't control himself.

There were messy clothes floating in the Shuangyan Pool, all the pearls and emeralds on Jiao Niang's head were scattered and sank to the bottom of the pool.

Wrapped in a robe, he was carried back to the bedroom.

When he woke up the next day, Ning Chen was still by his side, so he guessed that it was Xiu Mu today.

It made people blush for a while.

At this moment, Ye Yun's back was facing Ning Chen, and just a slight movement woke up the person who was hugging her.

The big hands around her waist tightened tightly, and Ye Yun realized that she seemed to be naked.

No wonder.

This one is still drunk, how dare the servants come in to serve him.

Just thinking about it, I felt an itchy neck.

It turned out that Ning Chen moved closer and rubbed against each other.

"Qingqing's skin is delicate, it's really smoother than silk."

"Your Majesty, please let the concubines go." Ye Yun wanted to hide vigilantly, half shouting coquettishly in her tone.

But I haven't enjoyed delicious food for a long time, so I can't bear it.

In the end, with the resentful eyes in Jiao Niang's eyes, she was in a good mood and changed the clothes for Jiao Niang herself.

When the breakfast was served, Ye Yun was still angry.

Ning Chen smiled and took the spring rolls, "Try this, the imperial dining room has a new stuffing."

Unexpectedly, Ye Yun frowned after taking a bite, "It's not delicious, let the emperor eat it."

After finishing speaking, he put the half spring roll back into Ning Chen's bowl.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall froze.

Let the emperor eat the leftovers, this is too unruly, too disrespectful, even if you are favored, that's not how you do it!

Not only the servants were stunned, even Ning Chen was also stunned.

It is true that he drank the leftover tea from Ye Yun, but it was his initiative, and it was the first time that he was so passive.

Raising his eyes slightly, he saw Ye Yun still angry, hesitated for a moment, then picked up and ate.

At the end, he added, "In the future, the dining room will not have to serve spring rolls with this stuffing."

"Yes, the servant will leave now." Yuan Jiu wiped off his sweat, and hurried forward to take the stack of spring rolls away.

Ning Chen looked at the table, coaxed again, and picked up a steamed dumpling, "Let's try again to see if this suits your taste."

Seeing him like this, Ye Yun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Pick up the steamed dumplings and feed them to Ning Chen's mouth first, "Your Majesty, taste it first."

Ning Chen obeyed her very much, so he took a bite.

Ye Yun took back the chopsticks and ate the other half.

And whispered, "This dumpling is pretty good."

The atmosphere on the table became more relaxed, causing Ning Chen to curl his lips, and his eyes were more helpless and gentle.

After breakfast, Ning Chen was going to critique the papers.

Even though he was resting, he just didn't have to go to court, and he still had to read the papers sent by officials from other places.

Ye Yun can't accompany him today.

Because Concubine Jingxian had already handed over all the matters in her hands before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Double Ninth Ceremony after the Mid-Autumn Festival would also hold a state banquet, and there were also things to take care of.
