Chapter 356
"Your Majesty, I will help you wash up. Please rest first." Yu Yanran said.
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded and let go of Yu Yanran.
Yu Yanran gave instructions to the waiting maid and served Zhao Xing to undress.
Waiting for the palace maid to bring hot water, Yu Yanran first served Zhao Xing to wash up, and finally served Zhao Xing to wash his feet.
Zhao Xing had sobered up from the wine at this time. Because he was in a bad mood, he drank a few more drinks during the dinner.
It is said that beauty becomes more charming the more you look at it under the lamp.
Yu Yanran is very beautiful and has a gentle temperament.
When washing Zhao Xing's feet, he looked particularly serious.
"Your Majesty, take a bath for a while and feel more comfortable when sleeping."
After Yu Yanran finished speaking, she saw that Zhao Xing did not respond. When she looked up, she saw Zhao Xing looking straight at her, with a slightly red face and said, "Why is your majesty looking at my concubine like this?"
Zhao Xing came back to his senses. Lai smiled and said: "Because you are good-looking."
When Yu Yanran heard this, her face turned even redder, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
It’s just that her face is rosy, and it looks even more colorful under the candlelight.
Ordinarily, Yu Yanran is his first woman, and the two of them can be considered an old couple.
But Yu Yanran was shy, and Zhao Xing was so embarrassed that he didn't even say anything explicit.
This kind of woman is something he does not possess among all his women.
Shulan is just weak-tempered. After all, she is at that age and has been married before, so she is not shy at all.
Men are sometimes very strange. Zhao Xing wants to tease Yu Yanran so easily and shyly.
Just when Zhao Xing was about to speak, a palace maid came in carrying a tray.
Yu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, I asked you to cook a bowl of sobering soup."
As she said that, she stepped forward to pick up the sobering soup from the tray and brought it to Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing took a few sips and finished drinking. Yu Yanran took the bowl and handed it to the palace maid, saying: "Your Majesty, the water is cold. I will wipe your feet."
"Yeah!" Zhao Xing nodded.
Yu Yanran sat down, put a thick handkerchief on her legs, asked Zhao Xing to put his feet on his legs, and wiped Zhao Xing clean carefully.
"Your Majesty, that's it."
Hearing this, Zhao Xing took back his feet and lay down on the bed.
Yu Yanran got up and covered Zhao Xing with a quilt, washed her hands before going to bed.
The palace maid took the footbath down, turned off the lights and retreated.
It was already late at night, and Zhao Xing was a little tired. Because of his mood, he had no intention of doing anything else, so he hugged Yu Yanran and got ready to sleep.
"Your Majesty?" Yu Yanran said softly.
"Huh?" Zhao Xing asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"I have some thoughts."
In the darkness, Zhao Xing could not see Yu. Yanran's expression, but from her trembling tone and the almost inaudible words behind her, it can be imagined that her face is probably red now.
Zhao Xing was startled when he heard this and said, "I'm fine."
With Yu Yanran's temperament, she couldn't do something like this.
I guess I did this because I saw that he was in a bad mood and wanted to please him.
"I just thought about it. Minglan is already pregnant with the child. I have been in the palace for so long and I still haven't gotten pregnant yet."
Yu Yanran said, holding back. Shy, he took the initiative to take off Zhao Xing's clothes.
"Haha, if I don't move, you can do it yourself." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
Yu Yanran softened when she heard this. She was already shy, and to reach this point had already exhausted her courage. However, darkness can scare people, and sometimes it can also make people do things they normally cannot do.
When Yu Yanran sat on him, Zhao Xing took a breath of air and stretched out his hand to hold Yu Yanran's waist.
“Your Majesty!”
Yu Yanran’s body softened and she lay on top of Zhao Xing.
"Why aren't you moving?" Zhao Xing patted Yu Yanran's buttocks and said in her ear.
"I have no strength left." Yu Yanran's tone was filled with tears.
Hearing this, Zhao Xing stopped teasing her. Yu Yanran was too shy. She just took off her clothes and struggled for a long time, which made him angry.
Holding Yu Yanran's face, Zhao Xing kissed Yu Yanran accurately in the darkness.
Having been practicing martial arts for many years, and Zhao Xing is now young, he is full of energy.
.........
The next day, Zhao Xing came to Renming Palace refreshed, and went to Xingming Palace with Zhang Guifen to pay his respects to his father, the emperor and the empress.
After having breakfast together, Zhang Guifen was left to talk to Empress Dowager Cao. Zhao Xing resigned and left, and came to the courtyard where his mother, the concubine Zhu, lived.
"My son has met my mother and concubine!" Zhao Xing walked into the main hall and bowed.
Zhu sat at the top, glanced at Zhao Xing, and said lightly: "You are an official now. How can I accept your courtesy? It's my turn to salute you."
"What did the mother and concubine say? You are my son's biological mother. Even if my son is an official, you will still bear it." Zhao Xing said.
"You still know that I am your biological mother?"
Zhu said with an ugly face: "Your uncle's matter has been going on for so long, and he is still in prison. You just want to do it for Others think, after being imprisoned for so long, it’s time to release him, right?”
“Mother and concubine, uncle, he broke the national law, and there are laws on how to deal with it. As an official, naturally you cannot bend the law for personal gain. "Zhao Xing said.
"What do you mean?" Zhu looked at Zhao Xing in disbelief: "You want to exile your uncle? He is your biological uncle!"
At this time, Zhu didn't know the extent of what Zhu Shiquan had committed, and thought he was just exiled.
"Mother, concubine, this matter has not been clarified because there are many people involved. However, I have asked the Minister of Punishment to pay close attention to it, and there should be a result soon."
Zhao When Xing said this, he secretly changed a concept.
You can't tell Mrs. Zhu that what your uncle committed was not as simple as being exiled, but a capital crime.
“Have a seat.”
Zhu's face softened and she said: "My mother-in-law also knows your difficulties, but I am just a brother. My sister-in-law has written to me crying several times."
"My son understands, and my mother-in-law understands." It’s okay to deal with your son’s difficulties,” Zhao Xing said.
"Your uncle didn't suffer hardship in prison, right?" Zhu asked.
"No, I have told you that I will not let my uncle suffer." Zhao Xing said.
He did explain that he just asked Yan Kuan not to take special care, and to treat Zhu Shiquan how other prisoners were treated.
"You, don't go out of your way to explain. You should let your uncle suffer a little, so that he can remember it better!"
Zhu complained: "You beat him so hard before, but he still dares to do this."< br>
She was also a little angry with her brother. After receiving the letter from her sister-in-law Sun, she did not write to Zhao Xing immediately.
But after all, he was his own brother, and no matter how angry he was, he couldn't ignore it. After waiting for a while, which made him suffer a little, he couldn't help but write a letter to Zhao Xing.
"I have nothing to do during this period. I made a few clothes for Sister Jing, but I don’t know if they will fit. You ask Mrs. Sheng to bring Sister Jing to talk to me. Then I will give you some clothes." Sister Jing, give it a try, and if it doesn’t fit, I can change it,” Zhu said with a smile.
"Mother, concubine, there are embroiderers in the palace for making clothes. Why do you need to do it?"
"I am idle and have nothing to do? But two more of your concubines are pregnant. From now on, I can’t cope with having too many children.”
Zhao Xing chatted with his mother and concubine for a while, then left.
It seems that the mother-in-law likes her grandchildren very much. After Zhu Shiquan is executed, Shuland can be asked to bring more children to talk to Zhu.
