Chapter 498 [The Legend of Zhen Huan 33]
The next day, as it was the wedding period, the court was suspended for three days. Yinzhen hugged Youyou and fell asleep together, enjoying this rare quiet time.
It was not until noon that Youyou slowly woke up. She slowly opened her eyes and her gaze fell on Yinzhen beside her. Then, she turned her head to look at the sun hanging high outside the window. She was startled and hurriedly shook Yinzhen awake: "Yinzhen, wake up! Shouldn't we go to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay our respects?"
Yinzhen was not asleep to begin with, but after being gently shaken by Youyou, he woke up immediately. Seeing that Youyou in his arms had already woken up, he smiled and explained, "Don't worry, my dear. You can sleep a little longer. We don't need to go to the Queen Mother's palace. The Queen Mother is ill and needs to rest and recuperate. She won't see guests for the time being."
"Oh...I see." Youyou replied, and then seemed to remember something and asked, "Then shouldn't you go to court now?"
"Have you forgotten, my dear? It's three days since our wedding, and I have the time to take a break and accompany you." Yinzhen answered patiently.
"No, Yinzhen, are the concubines coming to see me today? I got up late, why didn't you wake me up earlier? It's already so late, someone will definitely laugh at me for sleeping until noon on the second day of my wedding." Youyou frowned and said in a somewhat anxious tone. She secretly regretted how she could sleep so deeply that she even forgot the time.
"Okay, don't worry, my dear. I have asked Su Peisheng to announce the decree. I will not meet with the concubines today. We will talk about it in three days." Yinzhen comforted her gently. He looked at Youyou's panic and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, but he was more doting and caring for her.
"What? You asked Su Peisheng to announce the decree to the palaces? You've let everyone in the harem know that their new queen actually slept in until this late. How embarrassing." After hearing what Yinzhen said, Youyou was embarrassed. She was originally just worried about being laughed at by the concubines, but she didn't expect Yinzhen to directly order them not to come to see him. In this way, the whole harem would know about this, and she felt that her image was seriously affected.
Youyou blushed with shame and quickly buried her head in Yinzhen's arms, trying to avoid his gaze. She felt so ashamed. How could she face those concubines in the future?
"Don't worry, they won't dare to talk about it." Yinzhen patted Youyou's back gently and comforted her. He understood Youyou's worries, but he believed that his majesty was enough to intimidate the concubines and make them dare not talk about it easily.
"But they will also talk about it in private, right?" Youyou said with some uneasiness. Although Yinzhen had authority, she could not control other people's private discussions. She was afraid that the concubines would laugh at her behind her back, and even cause unnecessary conflicts.
"Should I issue an order to stop them from discussing this matter? Those who disobey the order will be demoted." Yinzhen suggested. Seeing how much Youyou cared, he decided to take more severe measures to protect her reputation. He believed that only through punishment could the concubines realize the seriousness of the problem and stop talking about Youyou.
"No, forget it, just leave it at that. Just don't say it in front of me." Youyou sighed and shook her head helplessly. She knew that even if Yinzhen ordered a ban on discussion, it would not be possible to completely eliminate this phenomenon. And she didn't want other concubines to be punished because of her. After all, everyone was innocent. She could only hope that these things would pass as soon as possible and not cause her any more trouble.
"My dear, our wedding is three days away. Why don't we go to Tangquan Palace to soak in the hot springs?" Yinzhen looked at Youyou and said gently.
"Okay, I also want to relax. When do we leave?" Youyou asked excitedly.
"Let's set off after we finish our meal. There are some snacks there and we can enjoy them together then." Yinzhen replied.
"Great! Then let's get up quickly and don't let others wait too long." Youyou said happily.
"Qingqing, why don't I help you change your clothes? It will be faster this way." Yinzhen suggested.
"Forget it. I can ask Ziyuan for help." Youyou said a little embarrassedly.
"Qingqing, there is no part of your body that I haven't seen. Besides, we are already married, why are you still so shy?" Yinzhen joked with a smile.
When Youyou heard this, she felt that this was the truth, so she blushed and said, "Okay, then Yinzhen, please help me put it on. I want to wear that purple dress."
"Okay, I got it." Yinzhen responded with a smile, and then began to help Youyou change clothes.
The two quickly got dressed and after a simple meal, they planned to go to Tangquan Palace. Before leaving, Youyou turned to Fanghua and said, "Aunt, please divide the palace affairs into three parts. One of them will be kept by you, and the other two will be given to Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing respectively. Let them help me manage the affairs of the six palaces."
Fanghua bowed slightly and replied, "Yes, Master."
Seeing this, Yinzhen, who was standing by, showed a puzzled look on his face and asked, "My dear, why do you want to divide the palace affairs between Hua Fei and Jing Fei? If you find it cumbersome, you can ask the maid in front of you and Fanghua to help you handle the affairs of the harem."
Youyou smiled and explained, "Yinzhen, I think Hua Fei is very capable, and I am lazy by nature, so it is just right for her to help with palace affairs. Jing Fei is a steady person, and can also share a lot of pressure for me, so that I can relax a little bit."
Yinzhen shook his head helplessly and sighed, "You are always so lazy. Well, go ahead, just don't make yourself too tired."
"Of course not. I'm not stupid. If I keep the palace affairs firmly in my hands, I'll be busy as hell and it's thankless. It's better to divide it up and find others to help. Then I can be lazy." Youyou said.
