Chapter 102 The Wife-Killing, Childless Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 37 (The End)
Fengze Palace
When the emperor finished washing up, he saw Chu Yue doting on his son and daughter. Since the arrival of the two little ones, he had to step aside.
In the past, only he could hold the Consort's soft and fragrant body, but now the two little ones have taken it away.
Although she had maids to take care of her, the Imperial Concubine still did everything herself, often only letting the Concubine carry her to sleep after the Concubine had soothed her to sleep.
Even now, so late, the Imperial Concubine was still reluctant to let go, looking lovingly at the two soft little dumplings.
The emperor walked over with a stern face and quietly looked at the mother and her two children.
After finally coaxing her to sleep, the maids came to carry her away, but the Imperial Concubine was still not at ease and insisted on going over to check on her.
The emperor was furious. He had been holding it in for so long; did they really think he was a monk?
The emperor stopped Chu Yue as she walked to the door, his face cold as he picked her up and carried her to the bed, gently setting her down. His deep black eyes gleamed with fury.
Chu Yue looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Your Majesty, I'd like to go check on the children..."
The emperor felt jealous and hugged her even tighter: "My beloved concubine, I am in pain..." His tone was somewhat mournful.
"Your Majesty... what's wrong? Where do you feel unwell?" Chu Yue asked in surprise, a little worried. Had she been neglecting him?
"I feel unwell all over."
Seeing how serious it was, Chu Yue became even more worried: "Your Majesty, I'll have the imperial physician come and take a look..."
The emperor froze, somewhat annoyed. The imperial concubine's mind was not on him; she was preoccupied with the two children.
He stopped talking to her and started biting her without giving Chu Yue a chance to speak.
The emperor silenced her with a kiss and continued with what he had been thinking about day and night.
Chu Yue didn't have a chance to refuse until the emperor finished, and only then did she realize that it was for this reason.
Chu Yue also felt somewhat guilty, realizing that she had neglected the emperor somewhat since having a child.
……
When she woke up again, it was already the next morning. Chu Yue opened her eyes groggily and found that the emperor was still beside her.
"Your Majesty? You..." Chu Yue's voice was hoarse and weak.
The emperor thought of last night, and how her voice changed from soft and gentle at first to hoarse and accusatory later, and he felt a little guilty.
"My beloved concubine, you are very hungry. I will carry you to have a meal."
"Your Majesty...didn't you go to court?" Chu Yue tried to sit up, but her body went limp and she collapsed weakly.
The emperor felt a pang of heartache and quickly embraced her, holding her close in his arms: "My beloved consort, I have already returned from the morning court session."
He lowered his head again and gently kissed her forehead, looking at her with affection.
"Your Majesty, I slept for so long?" Chu Yue accused him reproachfully, "It's all your fault..."
"It's my fault, my beloved consort, please calm down. It's my fault for being powerless against you." The emperor was refreshed and in high spirits after eating and drinking his fill.
"Your Majesty... wishes to take a bath..." Chu Yue frowned, feeling uncomfortable all over.
The emperor, of course, had no objections. He personally carried her to wash up, and then carried her out to feed her.
He doted on Chu Yue, and naturally spoiled his two younger children as well. When it came to naming them, he was extremely picky, but felt that none of them were worthy of his crown prince and princess. He couldn't find a good name, so in the end, he had no choice but to name the crown prince Xiao Chu Yang and the princess Xiao Xing Chu.
Even when attending court, he would bring his child with him.
The ministers understood the emperor's feelings. This day was not easy. What did it matter that His Majesty brought the crown prince to court? The crown prince could have come alone.
Chu Yue couldn't dissuade him, so she let him be.
Thanks to the emperor's hard work, Chu Yue became pregnant again when the crown prince and princess were two years old.
The emperor was both happy and distressed. Of course, he wanted more children, but that would cause the imperial concubine to suffer.
"My beloved concubine, you have suffered so much." The emperor held Chu Yue, whose face was pale, with heartache.
Chu Yue had just finished vomiting and was feeling weak all over. She smiled weakly and said, "I am willing, Your Majesty, don't you like it?"
"Of course I like it, but I feel sorry for you, that you're going to suffer again," the emperor said in a hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. I want to stay with you for the rest of my life," Chu Yue comforted him softly.
The emperor held her tightly. With the imperial concubine, he could have lovely children, which made his life complete. He couldn't lose her; just thinking about it made his heart ache.
Chu Yue also plans to have no more pregnancies after giving birth to this child. Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's enough.
Moreover, the emperor would become anxious and uneasy during her childbirth, as if he had lost half his life, and she couldn't bear to see him like that.
Not long after, Chu Yue gave birth to a son, and the emperor grinned and said, "My beloved concubine, you've worked hard."
Chu Yue weakly shook her head: "Your Majesty, has a name been chosen?"
The Emperor had planned this out in advance. He hadn't had time for the previous two because he was worried about Chu Yue, but he couldn't let the Consort down this time.
"I've already decided, the name will be Xiao Chuyun." The emperor was very satisfied.
Chu Yue: "..."
Could you be any more perfunctory?
The emperor really dotes on his children. At first, he would carry one in each arm to court, but now that the two older ones can walk, they follow behind while he carries the younger ones.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne with one on each side and another in his arms. The sight was so striking that none of the ministers dared to speak of it.
I thought His Majesty was just excited because he finally had an heir, but I didn't expect all the children to be like this.
As a result, the crown prince entered and left the court at a very young age, and by the time he officially began to engage in politics, he was already somewhat weary of it.
In addition, the emperor was eager for the crown prince to take over his position, which made the crown prince suffer greatly.
The emperor's eagerness to become a hands-off ruler made the crown prince feel wronged: "Father... I am still young, and besides, I am already tired of it."
emperor:"……"
The emperor felt sorry for the crown prince when he saw his aggrieved expression: "Crown Prince, you are all grown up now. I... just want to spend more time with your mother."
"Then Father can still stay with Mother even now, right?" the Crown Prince asked expectantly.
"Well... Father Emperor wishes to spend more time with your mother," the Emperor said tactfully.
"Father...why won't you let my younger brother be the crown prince?" The crown prince felt even more aggrieved. Why wasn't his younger brother so tired?
"You are the eldest brother, and the younger brother is still young," the emperor advised again.
The crown prince felt a pang of bitterness, knowing he couldn't escape it: "Father is biased..."
The emperor said with heartache, "Father treats you all the same, without discrimination."
"..."
Despite his reluctance, the crown prince was forced to work hard at a young age, while his father, the emperor, took his mother on excursions.
He was left alone in the palace to suffer.
"Hmph..." The Crown Prince slammed down the memorial in his hand. Today, his father had taken his mother out of the palace again, and they wouldn't be seen returning until dark.
Sure enough, the emperor returned with Chu Yue when it got dark. As soon as they got back to Fengze Palace, they saw the crown prince sitting there looking mournful.
Chu Yue glared at the emperor, who touched his nose and said, "I'll go tell them..."
The emperor pulled the crown prince aside and said, "If you want to be like me, then get married and have children as soon as possible, and you won't have to worry about it in the future."
The prince was stunned; this seemed like a good idea.
So much so that the Crown Prince, wanting to get out of his current predicament as soon as possible, married the Crown Princess early on and stayed at her place every night.
Not long after, she gave birth to the emperor and Chu Yue's grandson.
Having achieved their goal, the Emperor and Chu Yue stopped running and focused on playing with their grandson.
The prince was still fantasizing that his hard times were about to end, so he buried himself in his work even harder in order to get out of trouble as soon as possible.
The emperor and Chu Yue had no time to pay attention to him, as they were focused on taking care of the child.
