Amidst the excitement of Han Yunxi's and mu liyue's fierce atmosphere, Han shuo asked them."have you guys prepared a gift for the emperor's majesty?".
Han Yunxi and mu liyue paused for a moment from their eating activities.
If Han shuo had not asked this, perhaps they would have forgotten to prepare a gift for their father-in-law.
"My husband, my glorious birthday is celebrated tomorrow, isn't it?". Han Yunxi asked to be sure.
But Han shuo was not fixated on the core of his question, he was fixated on the phrase 'my husband'.
Han shuo nodded to answer Han Yunxi's question, then he secretly smiled faintly.
"Your highness, are concubines like me allowed to come?" Asked you liyue who also wanted to come along.
Han shuo nodded then replied."of course it is allowed, all Harem women are allowed to join in to celebrate the emperor's birthday, besides you don't feel inferior to your status. You may be a concubine, but you're the crown prince's concubine".
Mu liyue smiled at Han shuo's reply, then continued her eating activities back.
Han Yunxi felt annoyed, the color of Han shuo's words just now was like exalting you liyue, why would there be such a feeling of dislike if Han shuo praised the woman other than her.
________
After finishing dinner, Han Yunxi returned to her residence and thought of what gift would be suitable for her father-in-law tomorrow?.
Foolish, she must prepare her gifts from afar, so as not to bother tomorrow.
"Xuan, do you know the emperor's favorite?" Ask Han Yunxi.
"Don't know miss, sorry." replied xuan in a clear tone.
"Gosh, why didn't you tell me from far away about the emperor's birthday, I completely forgot yesterday" Han Yunxi said.
Xuan scratched his nape that was not itchy, then answered his employer's question."a.anu miss, I guess you remember".
Han Yunxi did not answer xuan's words, now she was focused on thinking.
"Miss, how do I make tea?, this morning it feels cold" xuan bargained that made Han Yunxi's eyes widen.
Brak!
Han Yunxi kicked the table with a smile that made xuan surprised.
Xuan felt fear then settled down at Han Yunxi's feet.
The surprised Han Yunxi immediately helped xuan stand up.
"Hey! Why are you resting at my feet!, you quickly wake up!" Han Yunxi.
Xuan stood up with teary eyes.
"Miss, forgive me for disturbing your thinking self" said xuan as he wiped his tears.
"Haiss no-no, instead I should thank you" Han Yunxi replied smiling as she patted xuan on the shoulder.
"Xuan, hurry up and call the master sculptor in this tianning city to come to my residence" Han Yunxi continued
Xuan nodded then walked out of Han Yunxi's room.
Han Yunxi called a few female servants into her room, then asked them to prepare some high-quality tea.
The female servants were busy preparing what their crown princess had requested.
Han Yunxi recalled that in the novel the legend of empress he read, the emperor was very fond of tea, in contrast to the average man who liked wine.
After the sculptor and all the items he requested were already there, Han Yunxi opened her mouth to speak."sir, I ask you to carve the dragon and the sun on this tea table,make it as beautiful as possible, the color I'll give this to the emperor's majesty tomorrow".
The sculptor nodded and replied, "your majesty, I will definitely do my best to your request".
The sculptor immediately took a professional step in carving, and began to work on Han Yunxi's orders tenaciously.
While Han Yunxi had only noticed that the tea table was carved which gradually began to form clear carvings.
"Xuan, do you know what kind of gift concubine Liyue has prepared for the emperor?".
Xuan nodded then brought his mouth closer to Han Yunxi's ears.
"I heard concubine Liyue preparing the arrows, did you know miss, the handle of the arrows was made of silver."
Han Yunxi frowned. Silver?, what's not wrong?, he gave an object made only of silver?, he was sure that tomorrow you liyue would be satirized by the emperor's concubines. Because if you want to give something why should be responsible²?, why not all the gold?, what else would the person who wants to be given the arrow is the emperor.
The emperor was a man who loved martial arts and literature, the emperor also loved luxury but he would always share the luxuries he had with others, unlike his greedy concubines.
What's more with tea, the emperor really likes it. Only a handful of people knew of her, such as the empress, her chief concubine, and her personal bodyguards and advisers. Even the crown prince and the second prince and princess Fei Luan were not very aware of it, for the crown prince it was certain that he did not care. The second prince he was not indifferent but he was indeed not too close to the emperor,because during his childhood the emperor rarely met him because the second prince was still living in the empress' residence while the emperor and empress were having a big fight first. Then Fei Luan's daughter was very secretive and shy, she was very afraid of her father's emperor, from the small she was secretly tortured by the concubines to take her monthly rations, she was very afraid of her father's emperor,no one knew of this even the empress, as she was already tired of her father's concubine behavior, she ordered her old personal servant to report this to the emperor,but no one knew that this old servant had been bribed by the concubines to shut up and tell Princess Fei Luan that the emperor was busy and not so concerned with small matters like these. From there Fei Luan began to get upset with the emperor, although she was annoyed that Fei Luan could not fight, however the emperor was still her father, her heart was very soft, she said,if he fought back also for his no use, he could not quarrel with the emperor.
Han Yunxi walked out of her room and saw Han shuo walking up to her.
Han Yunxi smiled then gave her a greeting."Yunxi saluted his highness the crown prince".
Han shuo nodded then pulled the hand of his main wife in the back.
There are 2 benches made of wood and a round table in the middle of the two benches.
Han Shuo and Han Yunxi sat down simultaneously.
Han Shuo turned his head towards Han yunxi, then his hands crept out looking for Han Yunxi's hand.
Han Yunxi was startled and glared at Han shuo.
Han shuo frowned."why?no like?".
Han Yunxi was surprised by Han shuo's words, if it wasn't for the race she and mu liyue she would have definitely brushed this man's hand off violently, but now she had to be patient. As Han shuo's hand moved off Han Yunxi's hand, Han Yunxi pulled Han shuo's hand quickly.
"Where might I not like it?, I was just surprised".
Han shuo did not reply and simply clasped Han Yunxi's hand back and looked straight ahead.
"Your Majesty, tonight you will spend the night at my residence right?" Ask Han Yunxi.
"Yes" Han shuo replied briefly.
Han Yunxi smiled victoriously then raised her hanfu arm to show her virginity marks that were still clearly visible.
"Your majesty, do you know how to remove this sign?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.
Han Shuo who knew what mark it was immediately opened his eyes wide.then he muttered inwardly.'Is this woman teasing me?!'.
Han Yunxi who felt ignored patted Han shuo's hand.
"Your Majesty, answer my question".
Han shuo came to a realization, then answered Han Yunxi's question."what do you mean to ask that".
Han Yunxi opened her eyes.
"Tomorrow is the emperor's birthday, there must also be an empress, I have promised the empress to remove this mark, but-" Han Yunxi's speech was cut off.
"What's?you want to do it?" Han Shuo asked with a mischievous grin.
Han Yunxi's face flushed red and then slapped Han shuo's hand."not like that!".
"Then what?, the only way to remove the mark is to do it with me" said Han Shuo who was now standing in front of Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi stood up from her sitting down then idly teased Han shuo.
"Your highness, if you want to do this it's still daylight, can't."
Han shuo looked into Han Yunxi's eyes with his mischievous smile."hn, you who lit the fire first, then you should extinguish the fire as well, the color of the blazing fire can't die alone".
Han Shuo flicked at Han Yunxi's forehead, then walked out leaving Han Yunxi who was digesting her rowdy husband's words.
After understanding, Han Yunxi's face turned red but her mouth smiled."hn, basics".
