Chapter 235 Ruthless, Henpecked Emperor × Pregnant Palace Maid 4
Hehuan Palace
"This servant greets Consort Chu..." The palace servants all greeted her in unison.
Chu Yue sat in the main seat, smiling, and said, "Please get up, everyone."
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
Little Maruko stepped forward with a grin: "Your Majesty, His Majesty has instructed that these are all servants from the Hehuan Palace. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, please tell this servant, and this servant will certainly take care of it."
The palace maid she casually pulled aside has now become the most honored mistress, and Xiaowanzi can't help but sigh, she's really lucky.
There are no other masters in the palace right now, so this one must be incredibly valuable.
"It's all thanks to you, Eunuch. I owe my current status to you." Chu Yue took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to him: "I am deeply grateful for your great kindness, Eunuch."
Maruko beamed with joy. Being a grateful person, he happily accepted the gift, saying, "Your Majesty is too kind. You are truly blessed. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to give me your orders."
"Then I'll have to trouble you a lot from now on, Father-in-law."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this servant will take his leave now. His Majesty is not waiting for this servant to serve him."
"it is good……"
After Xiaowanzi left, the servants in the hall all knelt down again: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty..."
They must serve the only lady in the palace well.
"From now on, I do not wish for any betrayal or other bad things to happen in the Hehuan Palace. If you are sincere, I will not treat you unfairly."
Chu Yue's words also intimidated the palace servants, who all agreed.
"Alright, get up. Tell me what they are called."
"Your servants Qingju, Xiaotao, Laifu, and Laiqing greet Your Majesty..."
"Alright, from now on, Xiaotao and Qingju will serve me."
"Thank you, Your Highness. This servant will certainly serve you well..."
If the empress is favored, there will be many benefits.
"You may all leave. I need to rest for a while." Chu Yue's back ached, and the emperor hadn't spared her a single day in the past few days.
He keeps messing with her every night; I don't know where he gets all that energy.
Chu Yue had barely rested for a short while when Qingju came in to report: "Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived..."
!!!
Chu Yue was furious; her morning grumpiness was about to kick in, and it wasn't even dark yet, and it was already at its worst.
I'm not doing this task anymore!
Qingju silently helped her get up to wash and change, but the lady seemed unhappy.
When the emperor entered, he saw that Consort Chu had a displeased expression. What was wrong? Was she unhappy?
Before Chu Yue could recover her composure, the Emperor entered. She froze, and 001 spoke up at the opportune moment: "Yueyue, your favorability rating was originally thirty, but now it's only twenty..."
Is it easy being a working person? Chu Yue felt like crying but had no tears. Seeing the emperor's stern face, she forced a stiff smile and quickly stepped forward to pay her respects: "Your Majesty, this concubine greets you..."
The emperor walked to the couch and sat down without saying a word, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense.
The palace servants served tea and pastries in an orderly manner, then withdrew to wait.
Qingju silently withdrew, and Chuyue slowly walked over, picked up the hot tea, and handed it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please have some tea..."
The emperor did not take it. He glanced at her slightly and saw that the woman in front of him had changed her attitude again. Just a moment ago she was unhappy to see him, but now she was so attentive.
Maruko said that Consort Chu was a lowly palace maid, all alone. The emperor had intended to spend some time with her these past few days, since she was his consort, and also to let the palace servants know her status.
Consort Chu was displeased. He was the emperor, and she should be grateful for his willingness to come. How dare she be unhappy?
Chu Yue's hands were almost sore. She realized that the emperor not only had a bad temper but was also petty. She guessed that she had just offended him again.
Holding the teacup, Chu Yue slowly knelt down, her head bowed: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, please calm your anger..."
"What crime have you committed?" the emperor finally asked. If it weren't for the fact that she was his first woman and that she had served him diligently these past few days, he would have already turned and left.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Chu Yue bit her lip: "Your Majesty shouldn't have harbored resentment..."
"Oh? Is it... a complaint against me?" The emperor's casual tone sent chills down one's spine.
"No...no, Your Majesty is too vigorous, and I...my body can't take it. I just got back and rested..."
The emperor's face darkened. Was Consort Chu upset that he had disturbed her rest?
"How dare you!"
Chu Yue was so frightened that she dropped the tea in her hand. She hurriedly tried to apologize, but her hand caught in the shards, piercing her palm and drawing out bright red blood.
The pain was excruciating; Chu Yue's face turned deathly pale, and she dared not utter a word.
The emperor became even more agitated; was there really a woman more foolish than her?
"Someone, summon the imperial physician!" The emperor's good mood vanished completely, and he shouted outside.
Maruko rushed in and immediately understood what had happened to her two masters.
"Quickly, summon the imperial physician immediately, hurry!" Xiaowanzi ordered briskly. "Quickly, go in and serve Her Majesty."
Qingju and Xiaotao helped Chuyue inside to tidy up a bit. When they came out, the imperial physician arrived.
Physician Li has been extremely busy lately. He has to worry about His Majesty's health, and whenever His Majesty has something to do, he is called over. He is almost overwhelmed.
"Your Majesty, the wound isn't deep. It will be fine after applying medicine and bandaging. Don't get it wet. Don't worry, Your Majesty, it won't leave a scar."
After examining the body carefully, Physician Li respectfully said...
"Thank you for your trouble," Chu Yue said softly, withdrawing her hand.
Maruko secretly observed the emperor's expression, then quietly made a gesture, and everyone in the hall withdrew.
The emperor remained silent, and Chu Yue dared not speak either, her palm still a little sore.
Seeing Consort Chu sitting there looking somewhat aggrieved, the Emperor felt a tightness in his chest, unable to calm himself down.
The hall had been cleaned up and fresh hot tea had been placed inside, filling the air with its aroma.
The emperor strode over, and Chu Yue trembled in fright, looking at him with some fear.
"Heh..." The emperor snorted coldly. Weren't you quite bold just now?
He picked up the woman who had angered him and walked toward the bed with a stern face. Chu Yue was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word.
"Alright, aren't you sleepy? Go to sleep." The emperor helped her down and then lay down outside.
Chu Yue glanced at him nervously: "Your Majesty... my hand hurts, and I can't sleep..."
"I think you did it on purpose." You deliberately injured yourself to avoid his favor.
Chu Yue is innocent. Who would want to hurt themselves like this? It was truly an accident.
"No, Your Majesty. I am most happy when Your Majesty comes to my place. If Your Majesty does not come, I do not know how sad I would be."
Chu Yue replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I am of humble status and am already very grateful for even a little bit of your favor. However, I still secretly desire more, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will blame me. It is my good fortune to be able to serve Your Majesty."
As expected, the emperor was rendered speechless by her words. Oh well, he decided to temporarily forget about her earlier rudeness.
"If she gives birth to a son for me, I will reward her handsomely." The emperor realized that ever since he learned about his physical condition, his desire for an heir had become an obsession. If this woman could become pregnant, he would not mistreat her.
"Your Majesty... I will try my best..." Chu Yue replied softly.
Upon hearing her words, the emperor initially intended to make love to her, but seeing the injury on her hand, he had no choice but to give up and awkwardly embraced her to put her to sleep.
Chu Yue had only one thought: finally, she could rest.
