Chapter 342 A Pure and Ascetic Emperor × A Charming and Beloved Concubine 16 (The End)
"The young prince greets His Majesty and Consort Chu..." The nanny carried the young prince over, with Green Bamboo following beside him, and several other palace servants behind them.
"Give me a hug..." Chu Yue propped herself up, but she was still very weak and was already panting.
The emperor held her close, saying, "Don't rush, you're weak, don't move around."
The nanny brought the little one over, and Chu Yue reached out to take him, her hands trembling slightly. Looking at the tiny bundle sleeping soundly, Chu Yue almost choked up, saying, "My son... is so small."
"Your Highness, don't worry. The little prince is growing up well, and he'll look completely different in a few days," the nanny comforted her softly.
The emperor supported her, and together with Chu Yue, they held the little one: "My beloved consort, our son looks just like you."
Chu Yue smiled weakly. Her eyebrows and eyes hadn't fully developed yet, and she was asleep at the moment, so it was impossible to tell who she resembled.
"My dear concubine, you still need to rest well. Let the nanny carry you away. You can carry me anytime you feel better."
Although Chu Yue was reluctant, she was indeed quite weak and could only let the nanny carry the child away.
"Your Majesty...please let my son stay with me tomorrow." Chu Yue looked at the emperor expectantly.
"Don't be silly." Consort Chu still needed to recuperate: "Don't worry, my dear consort, the people serving the prince will not make any mistakes."
Chu Yue was worried, which is why she sent Green Bamboo over.
"understood……"
"As long as you recover, everything will be fine," the emperor coaxed softly.
"Okay..." Chu Yue leaned against the emperor's chest and gradually fell asleep.
After the little prince turned one month old, Chu Yue held a ceremony to officially recognize him as empress, and the little prince became the crown prince.
Inside the Phoenix Palace, after the grand ceremony, Qiongzhi and Baozhen helped Chuyue remove her many jeweled hairpins and elaborate dresses.
"This servant congratulates Your Majesty the Empress." Although Qiongzhi had said it many times, she still couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Chu Yue's graceful and noble appearance.
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Distribute the rewards in a moment. I know how good you are."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty..."
After taking a bath, all her fatigue dissipated, and Chu Yue held and teased the Crown Prince in her bedchamber.
Babies change every day. The wet nurse's milk was good, and the prince ate happily. His little body became chubby in just over a month.
Chu Yue couldn't help but feel affection for the little arms, which were as soft as lotus roots. She couldn't resist kissing the little face and the chubby little hands.
"Your Highness, let me carry His Highness." Green Bamboo was worried that Chu Yue would get tired if she carried him for too long.
"It's nothing," Chu Yue said, her eyes never leaving the Crown Prince.
When the emperor came over, he saw the empress teasing the crown prince and went over to her, saying, "Empress, let me hug you."
Chu Yue handed it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please be careful..."
emperor:"……"
He can hold him now. When the crown prince was first born, he was too small, so the emperor was a little at a loss. But these days he can hold him very well.
The emperor held the little prince for only a short while before he fell asleep, so the nanny had to take him away.
"Empress, stop looking." The Emperor stopped Chu Yue, who wanted to follow him: "The Crown Prince is asleep."
Chu Yue glanced at him a few more times, reluctant to leave: "I will go see him tomorrow."
"Very well." The emperor went in to take a bath.
Qiongzhi hesitated for a few seconds, then spoke softly, "Your Majesty..."
"Hmm...?" Chu Yue looked at her in confusion. Why did this girl only say half of what she meant?
"Your Majesty, I'm worried that tonight His Majesty..."
"What's wrong with Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty..." Qiongzhi whispered in Chuyue's ear, "Tonight His Majesty might..."
After hearing this clearly, Chu Yue glared at Qiongzhi, realizing that the emperor had been abstaining from meat for quite some time.
"Ahem..." Chu Yue coughed softly, then said reproachfully, "I know, you can go now."
Qiongzhi hurriedly withdrew.
Chu Yue's cheeks felt hot; there was no escaping it tonight.
"Empress, what are you thinking about?" The Emperor came out after his bath and saw Chu Yue frowning in thought.
Chu Yue snapped out of her daze and saw the emperor emerge with his upper body bare, still wet, the water glistening against his alluring abs...
Avoiding her gaze, Chu Yue turned her head away, forcing herself to remain calm, and said, "Your Majesty, I was just thinking that I should take the Crown Prince out for a walk tomorrow..."
"Empress, forget about the Crown Prince for now, worry about me." The Emperor went over and hugged Chu Yue, inhaling her faint fragrance, and sighed contentedly, "Empress, can you bear to make me suffer like this?"
"Your Majesty... what's bothering you?" Chu Yue gently twisted her body, her voice trembling with embarrassment.
"Let the Empress see what's wrong with me." The Emperor picked up Chu Yue and placed her on the bed, then pressed himself against her: "Won't the Empress show me some pity?"
Seeing the dangerous glint in the emperor's eyes, Chu Yue shrank back. Even before she was pregnant, the emperor had wanted to tear her apart.
Now that she's endured this for so long, I wonder what she'll do to her.
"Your Majesty... please don't frighten me." Chu Yue shrank back and refused.
"Empress, please understand my situation." The Emperor was too preoccupied to say anything more.
As the curtains fell, soft moans could be heard.
"Your Majesty...please stop..." Chu Yue pleaded in a low, hoarse voice.
"Please bear with it a little longer, Your Majesty," the Emperor coaxed in a low, unsatisfied voice.
"Ugh..." Chu Yue whimpered, then sank into the emperor's passion.
Qiongzhi's worries were not unfounded; the noise inside the Phoenix Palace's sleeping quarters did not cease until late into the night.
After a while, the emperor finally summoned someone to serve him.
Chu Yue had already fainted, and the emperor scooped her up with his large hand and personally carried her to bathe.
Qiongzhi and Baozhen went in with their heads down. Looking at the messy bed, they couldn't help but blush, and they couldn't help but worry about Chuyue.
After tidying up, the emperor carried Chu Yue out. Seeing the empress's mournful eyes, the emperor chuckled guiltily, "Thank you, my darling."
Chu Yue: "..."
Isn't that what she called him when she was coaxing the crown prince?
The emperor's deep, husky voice called her that, and Chu Yue couldn't help but feel her bones melt, forgetting even her anger.
"My darling, are you not angry anymore?" The emperor leaned closer again. The empress liked this title; no wonder she often called the crown prince that while holding him.
"Hmph..." Chu Yue was completely exhausted and fainted from the emperor's torment. She only woke up while taking a bath.
The emperor chuckled; having eaten and drunk his fill, he had plenty of time to coax her.
Before the emperor could coax her, Chu Yue had already fallen asleep from exhaustion, softly collapsing into the emperor's arms.
"They are all my treasures." The emperor hugged her tightly with affection. The empress and the crown prince were both his precious treasures.
The next day, after Chu Yue woke up, the thought of what happened the night before still made her face flush. Qiong Zhi's "I told you so" expression made Chu Yue even more shy.
When the emperor finished his work and came over, Chu Yue didn't even want to talk to him.
The emperor had his own way. He personally went over, picked up the crown prince, and brought him close to Chu Yue, saying, "My son, please comfort your mother for your father's sake."
Chu Yue gave him a reproachful look, but when she saw her soft, cuddly son, all her anger vanished. She took the child and held him in her arms, unable to get enough of looking at him.
The emperor watched the mother and son quietly, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Empress."
When Chu Yue heard the emperor call her name, she looked up and saw that the emperor had his arm around her and the crown prince: "I am very pleased."
"Your Majesty, I also..." Chu Yue smiled, knowing what the emperor meant, and hugged the crown prince, leaning against the emperor's chest.
