On weekdays, after dinner, I would chat with Lin Wanyi in the main room before leaving.
But today, as soon as the emperor put down his chopsticks, he said immediately.
"My son wants to go back to practice calligraphy, so I will leave first and ask my father's forgiveness."
"Well, being diligent is a good thing. You've missed a lot of homework, so you'd better pay more attention."
"Yes, please keep this in mind."
Then he said to Lin Wanyi, "Ms. Lin, please leave."
Lin Wanyi nodded and gave a few more instructions before letting the second prince leave.
Also leaving at the same time was the second princess and a group of servants.
Therefore, the room returned to the time when the two were alone together.
Not to mention the second prince, even Lin Wanyi felt a little uncomfortable.
I was used to being alone, and suddenly there was an emperor. How should I put it, it felt like someone was disrupting the situation.
However, Lin Wanyi would not say such words casually.
So he asked.
"Your Majesty has been working hard all the way. Can you ask Eunuch Qiu to prepare hot water for you to take a bath and get rid of the cold?"
The emperor also agreed with this, thought about it and said.
"I remember there is a hot spring behind Ruiyangxuan, let Qiu Ming arrange it."
Finally, his eyes fell on Lin Wanyi, and the meaning was self-evident.
Since he came back quietly, he naturally couldn't let too many people know about it.
Therefore, the matter of taking care of the bathing had to fall on Lin Wanyi.
Although the two had been married before, this was the first time they had taken a shower.
Lin Wanyi laughed so hard that she really wanted to slap herself in the face.
Why would you cause such trouble for yourself if you have nothing to do?
But I just dared to think about it. When I actually arrived at the hot spring, I mustered up the courage to follow the emperor in.
Xia An, who was in charge of guarding outside, whispered.
"It's just my wife, okay? How about Eunuch Qiu go in and help me?"
Qiu Ming glanced sideways at Xia An, who was a little worried, and suddenly felt that this usually very smart maid was not using her brain enough at this time.
He went in to help out, wasn't he impatient?
Isn’t this just trying to make the emperor angry?
So he pulled Xia An forward two more steps and whispered.
"Don't worry, Miss Xia An, in Ruiyangxuan, only the service of the young master is the most worthy of the Sacred Heart."
Although his expression is still serious as usual, there is a rare sense of humor in it.
Xia An understood immediately.
She always felt that her mistress had never done this before, so she was worried.
Only now did I realize that this service was not that service.
No wonder when the young master followed the emperor in, his face looked... as if he was dead!
Thinking of this, I immediately looked at my nose, nose, and heart and closed my mouth.
Qiu Ming and I stood in the snowy weather and admired the night view.
In the hot spring pool, the emperor only wore his inner clothes.
Originally, this material couldn't help but be soaked in water, but now it's wet, what can I say?
It's quite snug...
Lin Wanyi blushed with embarrassment and looked at the emperor, not knowing where to start.
After thinking for a while he said.
"My concubine, let me loosen your hair and soak it in floral water first so that it can be washed later."
"Um."
This hot spring was probably too comfortable, so when the emperor soaked in it, his voice even sounded soft when he spoke.
On the contrary, he has taken off a lot of his serious mask as an emperor.
Lin Wanyi soaked the emperor's hair little by little with the gardenia water prepared in advance.
This is her favorite way to maintain her hair, so it doesn’t take much effort to do.
He inserted his fingers into the hair bit by bit, smoothed it out, moistened it, and finally gave it to the emperor to massage his head for a while.
Her craftsmanship has always been very good.
The emperor felt the long-lost warmth and comfort, and suddenly felt as comfortable as Lin Wanyi waiting by his side.
In the past few months after leaving the palace, many things have changed.
Only Lin Wanyi remained the same indifferent.
After thinking for a while, he spoke.
"Concubine Lin and King Zhan both stayed at the Taishan Palace and will not be coming back in the short term."
Lin Wanyi was concentrating on combing the emperor's hair, but suddenly paused when she heard these words.
Then he asked.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
The emperor did not hide anything and told her everything that happened in Mount Tai.
When Lin Wanyi heard that King Zhan intended to use the wonders of Mount Tai to implicate the Lin family's eldest family and the Dong family, she snorted coldly, with a bright anger in her eyes.
"You don't have any cover at all."
"The concubine has never had a good impression of the second concubine, the imperial concubine, including Princess Rongkang and Prince Zhan's palace. They have repeatedly framed the concubine and my family, so... the concubine has exceeded the rules."
This was not the first time that Lin Wanyi had shown such thoughts in front of the emperor.
But it had never happened before that someone could express displeasure or even disgust so directly.
"You can be unreserved in front of me."
When he said this, the emperor turned around and looked at her.
Although this plan was not succeeded by King Zhan, the Lin family's main house and the Dong family did not suffer any substantial damage.
But evil intentions are evil intentions, so Lin Wanyi's hatred for them became even more intense.
After thinking about it for a while, he said angrily.
"The imperial concubine is staying at the Taishan Palace, where is Princess Mingruo... Your Majesty, please don't send people to Ruiyangxuan. I am afraid that you will offend the child."
Hearing her childlike words, the emperor couldn't help but smile.
"What are you thinking about? I have long said that Princess Mingruo will be sent to the Queen Mother for upbringing. You just need to take good care of yourself. There are also the second prince and the second princess. Others will not bother you again."
Lin Wanyi muttered at the corner of her mouth.
The good mood that was originally there also disappeared.
The work in hand naturally stopped.
When the emperor saw this, he stood up from the pool.
Compared with Lin Wanyi, who was squatting by the pool, she was more than a head taller at the moment.
The heat in the pool was brought out, and the emperor seemed to be surrounded by clouds and mist.
His eyes also seemed a little hot because of the warmth of his body.
"Qianqian, there are many things that have been involved in the harem. If I don't have a perfect guarantee, I won't touch King Zhan easily, so you just have to be patient and wait..."
The words came to his lips, but the emperor still did not say them out.
"Although I am an emperor, I still have some helplessness and fears, but I promise that I will never let you continue to be wronged. King Zhan and the noble concubine, even Princess Rongkang and everyone involved will get what they deserve.
That’s retribution!”
The emperor spoke solemnly, and Lin Wanyi listened seriously.
Before this, she had never placed her hopes on the emperor.
The reason why the imperial concubine did not fall was because Princess Rongkang and Prince Zhan's Mansion were supporting her, as well as Prime Minister Lin.
Therefore, she never thought that the imperial concubine would fall from her high position unless she participated in something unforgivable.
Is it possible that King Zhan is so bold and disobedient?
