On Fridays every month, the emperor must spend the night at Qiuxin Palace where the empress is located. It is said that "five" is the number of the intercourse between heaven and earth. In this day, the emperor and empress in the human world must set an example, otherwise it will disrupt the movement of yin and yang in the universe. In small cases, it will cause fires, and in severe cases, the astrological disorder will be disordered, which will be punished by heaven.

Han Ruzi really wanted to ask, how big a disaster would the emperor become a puppet cause? But he could only eat quietly, and according to the customs of the ancients, he knelt on the table and ate.

The queen knelt on the side table. In the past, every dish was served by the palace maid to the table in front of the emperor. Now there was an extra procedure. The queen took it in her hand, turned around and put it down to show respect. The emperor nodded and expressed gratitude. She wasted a lot of time in vain. He was full without eating much, but the dishes were still placed one by one, so he couldn't help but say he wouldn't eat it.

The ceremony finally ended. Seeing the dishes that had almost never moved were taken away, Han Ruzi felt hungry again for no reason, so she had to endure it and hoped that the night would pass soon.

This simple willingness is destined to be difficult to achieve.

Most of the eunuchs and palace maids left, but three people were left behind, one was the eunuch Zuo Ji, the other was the palace maid Tong Qing'e, and the other was a female official in her forties.

The emperor and the empress were invited into the bedroom and sat side by side on the bed. Zuo Ji and Tong Qing'e served Zuo Ji separately. The female official stood opposite him. After showing her salute, she looked at the two newly married people with a smile.

Han Ruzi had a premonition that something was wrong, and the imperial concubine did not seem to have completely convinced the empress dowager, and he was forced to do the same thing as husband and wife again.

As expected, the female official spoke up about the great principles of heaven and earth, yin and yang, universe and other words, and finally came down to the husband and wife's rituals. "Your Majesty and the Queen have different beds, or have different pillows, which violates the husband and wife's rituals, and are ashamed of the ancestors and the people from all directions, and even disobeys the Queen's painstaking efforts..."

Han Ruzi became more and more shocked as she heard it. She couldn't help but interrupt the female official, "Do you know... we didn't have a bed in the same bed?"

He was also angry, thinking that someone was secretly monitoring him, looking at Tong Qing'e standing next to the queen.

The female official smiled slightly, "A few days after the wedding, the bedding that Your Majesty and the Queen slept cleanly, so naturally there was no bed in the same bed."

Han Ruzi became more and more confused as she heard it, but finally knew that Tong Qing'e was not a spy, so she said seriously: "I understand. I and the queen are still young, so I will talk about it in a few years."

The female official obviously came prepared and refused to surrender easily. She smiled and said, "If there is no queen, Your Majesty can wait for a few more years. Since there is a queen, you should abide by etiquette and not let the queen wait and worry about it. Today is a good time. Please ask Your Majesty and the Queen to complete the family. If you don't understand anything, this official and the palace maid Tong Qing'e can answer it."

Han Ruzi became more and more angry as he listened. As a puppet, he was already very obedient, rarely caused trouble, and helped the empress dowager through the difficulties. However, this was far from enough, and he was still forced to do things he didn't like, so he lowered his face, "I am not feeling well recently and I have no intention of fulfilling my family. You guys should step down."

The female official smiled unchanged, "Even if Your Majesty does not think about the great Chu country, you should think about the queen's feelings. If Your Majesty is obsessed with it..."

"Yes, I'm just stubborn." Han Ruzi was forced into a dead end, and there was no other way, so he just cheated. Anyway, he had nothing to be scared. "I just don't care about the movement of heaven and earth, the shady and shady, and I don't care whether the queen mother is worried or not. You are talking about these things seriously here... Don't you blush with these things?"

The female official was stunned by the words, but she did not blush, but was very angry, "How can your Majesty say such words be worthy of the Empress Dowager? Your Majesty ordered me to have no choice but to use it, Tong Qing'e, it's time for you to do it."

Han Ruzi thought that using force was to fight, but when he heard the female official named Tong Qing'e, he was stunned. Although this palace maid was a few years older than him, she was a woman after all. The female official looked down on others so much. She was furious and stood up. She was about to speak, but she was surprised to find that the queen sitting side by side had stood up one step ahead of him.

The queen's face turned pale, and her voice trembled because of excitement. "The queen mother on the left and the queen mother on the right. I pay my respects to the queen mother every day. Why haven't I heard the queen mother say this in person? You said this is the queen mother's meaning. OK, let's go to see the queen mother now and ask in person. If the queen mother says yes, I will do it with the emperor in public for you. If the queen mother says no, what should you be guilty?"

The female official's expression changed drastically and she murmured: "How can I ask the Queen Mother of this kind?"

The queen was even more angry, "You know that such things are not enough to ask or say them? How dare you speak rudely in front of His Majesty? Although I was young and had not read many books of sages, I also knew that the palace was the most rule-oriented place in the world. When was it the turn of a few slaves to the emperor's office? What about the living order in the inner living order? Why aren't you there? Let him write down your words and let future generations see how arrogant the slaves in the Great Chu Palace are!"

The female official's expression became frightened and she knelt down. As soon as she knelt down, Tong Qing'e also knelt down. The two of them were speechless and both looked at Zuo Ji.

Zuo Ji's face also changed slightly, and he forced a smile and said, "The queen is so serious. There are the queen mother and Your Majesty in the palace. Who dares to be arrogant? She can't speak..."

"She can't speak. You say, since Mr. Zuo is the queen mother's servant, he should understand the queen mother's intentions best. Tell me." Although the queen is a little girl, she was a little domineering at this time.

Zuo Ji opened his mouth and turned to the female official, angrily: "A bastard, I just want you to persuade Your Majesty. Who told you to say these rude words? Why don't you apologize to Your Majesty and the Queen!"

The female official couldn't speak, so she had to keep kowtowing.

Han Ruzi was stunned for a while before reacting and waved, "I don't care, you guys should step back."

The female palace was remissed and retreated to the door, got up and ran away.

Zuo Ji was embarrassed and said while retreating: "Your Majesty, rest."

When he retreated to the door, Zuo Jixin was unwilling to accept it and said to the queen: "The Cui family has produced a good queen."

"Didn't the Queen Mother teach a good slave?" the Queen said coldly.

Zuo Ji yelled and turned around and withdrew. The Cui family was still very powerful, and even the empress dowager wanted to give in. He couldn't afford to offend him for the time being, and he was confused for a while. He was just thinking about how to control the emperor and ignored the young queen.

There was still Tong Qing'e left in the room. She should have served the emperor and the queen to rest, but now she was so scared that she knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

"You retreat too, you don't need to serve tonight." Han Ruzi did not blame Tong Qing'e. As a palace maid, she also couldn't help herself.

Tong Qing'e responded, and walked backwards with her knees, then ran out of the room in a hurry and closed the door.

Han Ruzi turned his head and looked at the queen and found that the little girl was completely different from her initial impression. She was both smart and courageous, and knew more than him. He was just angry, but the queen had already thought of confronting the queen mother.

The queen's expression returned to normal, childish, and a little shy, and showed a helpless smile: "They are so too much. I didn't expect the people in the palace to be like this."

"How did you guess that Zuo Ji was acting on the back of the empress dowager?" Han Ruzi admired this most.

"Actually, I didn't guess." The queen smiled again, "But I think that even if this matter was arranged by the Queen Mother, she would not admit it, would not mention it in front of us, and would not want to be recorded."

Han Ruzi was very smart at first glance. He was very smart, but some things cannot be solved by intelligence alone. They must be familiar with the situation and those who understand the details can see the hidden flaws. "Some things cannot be done. Zuo Ji and the others are slaves, so they can be shameless, and the empress dowager is the master, and they must be respectful."

Immediately afterwards, Han Ruzi understood another thing, "It is only useful if you threaten to see the Queen Mother. You are from the Cui family and have taken care of outside the palace. Things can make a big deal. If I go, the Queen Mother will make someone beat me up, and the people outside will not know at all."

Han Ruzi sat down, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he could not wait any longer. The queen was temporarily safe and he was still in danger. Zuo Ji obviously wanted to make contributions to please the empress dowager, and sooner or later he would force him to do the same thing as husband and wife.

He raised his head and found that the queen was still standing there, looking even more melancholy than he was full of worries.

"What's wrong with you?" Han Ruzi asked in surprise.

"Nothing." That's right, the queen suddenly knelt down, put one arm on the bed, looked up at the emperor, and asked, "Is it because I am the daughter of the Cui family that I... sleep alone?"

"You're thinking too much, it's because..." Han Ruzi didn't want to mention King Donghai now and sighed, "It's actually to protect myself. I heard that the Queen Mother is in a hurry to ask for the prince. Once the prince is born, I'm worthless. I not only hide from you, but also from the palace maids, alas--"

Han Ruzi sighed.

The queen turned her worries into laughter. Although she was one year younger than the emperor, she knew a little more. Before leaving home, she also heard elders say something necessary, "Other emperors were called foolish monarchs because there were too many concubines in the harem. His Majesty even thought there were too many ones, and he could be called the monarch of the most wise."

Han Ruzi also smiled bitterly. He didn't even think that he was really an emperor, so where did he get the "wise king"? "Stay rest, you should be tired too."

Han Ruzi stood up and was about to walk towards the chair on the other end. The queen whispered: "Your Majesty, let's sleep in the bed."

"I told you that this is very dangerous!"

"The bed is big enough, I will sleep on the same side, and His Majesty will sleep on the same side. As long as we don't contact each other, there will be no problem."

"Is it okay if you don't contact? Wouldn't you get pregnant if you have a baby if you have a bed?" Han Ruzi was not sure.

The queen lowered her head and smiled twice, then said seriously: "We have the same bed, but we don't share the same pillow. Your Majesty can rest assured."

Han Ruzi heard the ridicule in the queen's words and his face turned slightly red. He could quickly detect the crisis in a strange environment, but he didn't even have the most basic understanding of the relationship between men and women. He only remembered that the couple in the story had children after they had a bed and sleeping.

"It's really okay?"

The queen nodded affirmatively.

"Okay." Han Ruzi didn't like the chairs.

The two turned around almost at the same time, and it was rare to take off their coats by themselves at one time. The queen went to bed first, and after a while, she said, "I'm lying down."

Han Ruzi first went to blow out the candles, then went to bed in the dark, leaned against the side, and lay silently for a while, thinking that the queen knew a lot, so she asked in a low voice: "Why are the bedding clean? They know that we don't have the same bed?"

"I... don't understand, either."

There was a hint of hesitation in the queen's voice. Han Ruzi believed that she knew but didn't want to say it. Perhaps it was something that was not suitable for direct explanation. He stopped asking and began to think about how to deal with Zuo Ji.

This means that he has no time to wait for his mother's reply, and it also means that he can only choose to trust the Imperial Concubine.
