After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

Everyone was very happy when Tang Rui returned.

At night, Fengyi Palace is very lively.

The long table was laden with delicious food, almost all of which were Tang Rui's favorites.

Father, Mother, and several concubines were all there, as were Gu Nanyu and Chu Jingchuan, and younger siblings were running around.

The laughter and cheerful voices carried far and wide, adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise austere palace.

At this moment, it seems there are no rulers and subjects, only family members.

Tang Rui also drank quite a bit, unsurprisingly.

After several rounds of drinks, everyone dispersed.

Chu Jingchuan and Gu Nanyu escorted Tang Rui back to the Phoenix Palace.

This palace was built by Situ Che specifically for Tang Rui.

Although Tang Rui was not present, the palace was cleaned every day.

The furnishings are also the best.

However, once they arrived at the Phoenix Palace, the two started arguing again.

Chu Jingchuan: "Gu Nanyu, don't go too far. Everyone in the Southern Barbarians knows I belong to Zhaohua. You deliberately sent me and Brother Mingyue away, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet. Zhaohua is mine tonight."

Gu Nanyu frowned: "I didn't mean anything by it. Rui Rui is drunk, and you can't disregard her wishes. You'll stay with me in the side hall tonight. We can talk about anything after Rui Rui wakes up."

Chu Jingchuan laughed in exasperation: "You cunning fox, stop with the high-sounding words."

"I'm stating the facts. In short, you're not allowed into the main hall tonight!"

Why should I listen to you?

"I can't say for sure!"

"Damn, you're asking for it!"

...

Without saying a word, the two started fighting again.

Tang Rui glanced at them groggily, scratched the back of her head, stumbled back to the main hall, and fell asleep immediately.

I did drink a bit too much tonight; I can't drink this much again.

A gentle breeze swept through, and the window opened wide.

The man appeared at her bedside like a ghost.

Seemingly sensing his gaze, Tang Rui opened her eyes and glanced at him, muttering, "Mingyue, I already told you, you don't need to stay in the shadows anymore."

"I'm your bodyguard!" Mingyue leaned over the headboard, staring at her with a somewhat aggrieved expression. "Young mistress, did you sleep with Gu Nanyu?"

"..." What kind of earth-shattering, god-like statement is this?

Tang Rui was somewhat speechless, sobered up a bit by the shock: "Could you be a little more tactful?"

Mingyue nodded, then asked, "You slept with Gu Nanyu?"

"..." is not as elegant as the previous sentence!

No, I feel so uncomfortable!

Tang Rui covered her mouth and stood up: "I feel like throwing up!"

Mingyue quickly grabbed her and jumped out of the window to leave.

Tang Rui felt a blur before her eyes and found herself on a tree.

Ignoring the bizarre location, Tang Rui leaned against a tree trunk and vomited violently.

After she finished vomiting, Mingyue promptly placed the water bottle on her plate: "Rinse your mouth!"

Tang Rui took the drink, spit it out, and finally felt better: "I want to sleep..."

"Oh!" Mingyue carried her and in a few quick movements, they arrived at the roof of a palace.

Tang Rui was speechless: "I want to sleep. Aren't you going to take me home?"

Mingyue said, feeling wronged, "Tonight is the fifteenth!"

Tang Rui: "..."

forget!

I had promised Mingyue that I would watch the moon with him every fifteenth of the lunar month.

"Ahem..." Tang Rui coughed lightly, then simply sat down on the eaves, patting the spot next to her: "Come sit down!"

Mingyue obediently sat down next to her, her eyes fixed on her, without saying a word.

Tang Rui felt uneasy under his gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Weren't we looking at the moon? Why are you staring at me?"

Mingyue pitifully fiddled with her fingers: "You still haven't said whether you slept with Gu Nanyu or not."

Is this hurdle insurmountable?

Tang Rui simply admitted, "I did it."

"Oh..." Mingyue fell silent again, her wet eyes staring straight at her, looking like she was about to cry at any moment.

Tang Rui gave in and pinched his cheek: "Didn't you regain your memories? Why are you still such a simpleton?"

Most importantly, you're already twenty-nine years old, why do you still act like a child?

Mingyue lowered her eyes, looking completely exasperated: "I'm not stupid, I know. I'm old, all I can do is fight, I can't study. The young master likes them, not me."

"Who said I don't like you?" Tang Rui couldn't bear to see him like this, so she patiently soothed him: "You've always protected me, been inseparable from me for over ten years, and you're the emperor's consort chosen for me by the Queen Mother. Plus, you're so adorable, how could I not like you?"

Mingyue's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Tang Rui nodded: "It couldn't be more real."

Mingyue continued, "When will you sleep with me, young master?"

Tang Rui's face stiffened: "..." So this is what they were waiting for me to do?

"My young master won't sleep with me, he dislikes me..." Mingyue was about to cry again when she saw her like this.

"..." You'll have to sleep eventually.

Tang Rui pulled Mingyue over and kissed her.

Mingyue's eyes widened, and a few strands of hair on her head stood up.

Just then, Chu Jingchuan's roar rang out: "Mingyue, where the hell did you take Zhaohua?"

Poor Chu Jingchuan, he finally managed to win over Gu Nanyu.

When they went inside, the "meat" they were about to eat had flown away.

Who else but Mingyue could take Tang Rui away without anyone noticing?

Mingyue's brow twitched, and she disappeared like a ghost, carrying Tang Rui in her arms.

The Queen said that he was the rightful husband.

Gu Nanyu, that little fox, is no match for me, but Chu Jingchuan, that brat, shouldn't even think about getting ahead of him.

...

The next day, Tang Rui woke up in an empty hall.

My body is covered in bruises, and my back aches.

Mingyue was right beside her, looking completely satisfied and fast asleep.

Tang Rui covered her face, suddenly feeling a little jealous of her mother.

How did you manage to handle so many men?

All three of them are exhausted.

Seemingly sensing that the heat source beside her had disappeared, Mingyue swung her long arm and pulled the person back.

He was still asleep, but he was muttering softly, "Don't leave me..."

Tang Rui: "..."

I really don't want it, and I wouldn't dare not!

If she doesn't want Mingyue, Tang Rao will be the first to explode!

Besides, Mingyue has been by her side for many years, so it's not like she has no feelings for him at all.

For other women, a thirty-year-old man is considered old.

But for her, it wasn't a big deal.

Thirty is the prime age for men in modern times, and Mingyue is not ugly.

He looks slim in clothes but muscular when undressed; he has an amazing physique due to years of martial arts training, and he is also quite handsome.

But Mingyue didn't think so, and neither did anyone else.

In the Southern Barbarian lands, many people around her felt that Mingyue was not good enough for her, and Grand Tutor Xue even petitioned his mother to find her a different imperial consort.

Mingyue heard these kinds of comments so often that she began to feel anxious and insecure, and they appeared in front of her less frequently.

Tang Rui gently stroked his eyebrows and eyes, thought for a moment, and quietly activated the pregnancy Gu in her womb!

Mingyue will definitely be her husband. Although she is still a bit young, if they have a child, Mingyue will feel more at ease, right?

Perhaps it was the intense gaze around her that made Mingyue groggily open her eyes, and what she saw was a woman's beautiful face.

Thinking about everything that happened last night, Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up: "Did I hurt you?"

"..." This idiot, he's just so blunt!

Tang Rui smiled, hugged him, and rolled over: "I've already activated the pregnancy-inducing Gu within my body, let's do it again!"

Mingyue blinked, making sure she hadn't misheard, and her eyes instantly sparkled.
