Chapter 1345 Your Majesty is stingy!
Although she really wanted to help her sister share some of the work, after copying for about an hour, Murong Xinyun's fair hands felt a little sore due to holding the pen for a long time. Looking at the thick stack of Buddhist scriptures in front of her, the eighteen-year-old girl couldn't help but feel discouraged.

His gaze shifted to his sister standing beside him. Seeing that his sister had already copied seven or eight Buddhist scriptures but was still copying meticulously, Murong Xinyun's eyes became complicated.

Although some recent events have made this daughter of the Murong family gradually mature, the innocent character she developed from living under the care of her family since she was a child has not completely faded from her body and mind.

But at this moment, watching her sister copying Buddhist scriptures, Murong Xinyun also felt the cruelty of living in the palace!
This is obviously a chore that you don't want to do, but in order to please others, you not only need to accept it, but also act as if you are happy and honored, which was something Murong Xinyun could never accept before!
And seeing how skilled her sister was, Murong Xinyun knew that this was definitely not the first time this had happened!

Murong Xinyun never imagined that her sister, who had a quirky and unconventional personality, would one day treat herself so badly!

As Murong Xinyun thought about it, he couldn't help but think of himself, and his expression became somewhat self-pitying!
If my sister is like this, why am I not the same?
She clearly didn't want to enter the palace and share a husband with her sister, but she was forced into the palace by her family!

It seems that I am even more miserable by comparison. After all, it was my sister who chose to marry His Majesty, and she also became the Imperial Concubine Murong of Daqian as she wished...
Just as Murong Xinyun was daydreaming, a palace maid walked over quickly and said:

"The Imperial Concubine's attendants have sent news!"

Murong Qingwu stopped writing with the brush in her hand upon hearing this, raised her head and asked softly:

"What's going on with the Attendant Department?"

The maid smiled and said:

"The Attendant Department said that His Majesty will come tonight. The Attendant Department asks Your Majesty to be ready!"

This statement immediately attracted the attention of the two sisters Murong Qingwu and Murong Xinyun. Murong Qingwu was stunned for a moment and nodded and said:
"I know what happened! Go back and do your work!"

After the palace maid left, Murong Qingwu's eyes fell on her cousin. Although her sister did not say anything, the smart Murong Xinyun understood the meaning of her sister's eyes, and two red clouds appeared on her snow-white cheeks.

The Murong family's tradition is very traditional, so Murong Xinyun, who has lived in such an environment since childhood, is also relatively conservative. Although she and the housekeeper's son fell in love with each other at an early age, the boy and girl were only polite and just held hands at most.

The first time Murong Xinyun learned about the relationship between men and women was the night before she entered the palace to participate in the selection. The nanny in the Murong Mansion taught her some knowledge.

Even though it was just some superficial things, it still made Murong Xinyun very shy. Ever since she met her elder sister after entering the palace and learned about some of Ye Mingsheng's special habits, the young girl was quite scared. She was even so scared that she couldn't sleep all night...

As someone who had experienced this, Murong Qingwu had to give her sister a lot of psychological counseling before she could relax.

Although Murong Xinyun gradually accepted the reality with the comfort of her sister, she still inevitably had some fear and worry about Ye Mingsheng in her heart.

As the jewel in the crown of the Murong family, Murong Xinyun has been a beauty since childhood and has always grown up in the admiration and praise of everyone.

Therefore, Murong Xinyun was very confident about her appearance. When she was outside the palace, she also heard some rumors about Ye Mingsheng being lustful and warmongering. Although under the guidance of her family, Murong Xinyun knew that these rumors were sometimes not credible.

After all, if Ye Mingsheng was really as bad as the rumors said, then how could he have started from scratch and led the Fengwu Army to rise rapidly and seize the world in just a few years?

If Ye Mingsheng is really that despicable, and if we allow such a person to take over the world, then wouldn't all the heroes in the world be useless?
Although Murong Xinyun understood this, it did not prevent her from having a preconceived understanding of Ye Mingsheng through these rumors!

Murong Xinyun's confidence in her appearance since childhood has always made her worry that Ye Mingsheng would take possession of her!

However, the fact is that the situation she was worried about has not happened yet. She has been in the palace for more than two months, but she has not even seen Ye Mingsheng once. Her sister's admiration for Ye Mingsheng makes Murong Xinyun feel fortunate but also a little disappointed. She even has some doubts about her own beauty...

At this time, I heard that the long-awaited meeting with the Daqian Emperor Ye Mingsheng would finally come to the courtyard tonight!

Murong Xinyun's heart was beating fast and she was very flustered. Intellectually, she knew that she was now a concubine in the palace and one of Ye Mingsheng's many women!

She herself was also curious about Ye Mingsheng, the Daqian Emperor who had countless rumors and a legendary color. If possible, she would like to see what kind of person Ye Mingsheng was. Was he as cold and cruel as the rumors said, or was he a kind and people-loving emperor as her sister said!

But Murong Xinyun knew better that if she chose to stay tonight, she would most likely lose her virginity!
However, she was not ready yet, so after hesitating for a moment, she made a decision and raised her head to look at her sister pleadingly!
Murong Qingwu originally thought that now that Xinyun had entered the palace, no matter what, that day would come sooner or later, so since that day would come sooner or later, why not let that day come sooner!
And the most important point is that even though Murong Xinyun promised her very well that she would forget about Wang Shun, Murong Qingwu did not dare to completely believe her cousin. She was not sure whether this little girl still had some unrealistic fantasies in her heart!
Therefore, as someone who had experienced this, Murong Qingwu thought that if things were done as quickly as possible, it would completely stop Murong Xinyun from having these thoughts and allow her to better adapt to life in the palace.

Although Murong Qingwu had such thoughts in her heart, when she felt the pleading look in her sister's eyes, as an elder sister she couldn't help but feel sympathy...
Sighing slightly, Murong Qingwu said helplessly:

"It's almost evening now, His Majesty might come over soon, Xinyun, you should go back first!"

Hearing her sister say this, Murong Xinyun felt as if she had been pardoned. However, just as she was about to smile happily, she noticed her sister's helpless expression, and immediately restrained her smile, lowered her head and said like a child who had made a mistake:
"Sister, give me a little more time, I will adapt as soon as possible!"

Murong Qingwu nodded slightly upon hearing this and said:
"I'm not rushing you, but Xinyun, you have to know that this is the imperial palace, and you are His Majesty's concubine!"

"Xinyun will follow your sister's instructions!" Seeing her sister lowering her head and looking like she was about to cry, Murong Qingwu couldn't bear it and said:
"Okay, okay, you go back first!"

"Well! I'll take these Buddhist scriptures back and continue copying them. I'll send them to you tomorrow!"

"Go to bed early and don't copy too much at night. It's bad for your eyes!"

After seeing off her sister Murong Xinyun, Murong Qingwu began to bathe and change her clothes. Although she was naturally beautiful, she was already thirty years old and had given birth to two children, a son and a daughter, by Ye Mingsheng.

Originally she didn't feel anything, but with those beautiful young ladies entering the palace, and Ye Mingsheng not visiting her for such a long time, Murong Qingwu developed a sense of crisis, so now while Ye Mingsheng is not here yet, she still needs to dress up...

At this time, Murong Xinyun was walking towards her own courtyard accompanied by a palace maid. Although she was afraid, she made the decision to escape, but she really walked away from her sister's courtyard. When she thought that she had avoided the Daqian Emperor, the young girl still felt a little lost in her heart!
Just as she was walking towards the courtyard with mixed feelings, she suddenly heard footsteps in front of her. Murong Xinyun, who was immersed in her own thoughts, did not react to it and continued to walk on her own. However, the palace maid beside her whispered a reminder:

"Your Majesty! His Majesty is coming! Let's make way!"

After hearing the palace maid's words, Murong Xinyun had not yet reacted before she was pulled to the side of the road by the palace maid and bowed.

At this time, a tall and heroic figure ignored the salutes of Murong Xinyun and others, and walked quickly towards Murong Qingwu's courtyard surrounded by guards and followers. Feeling the strong pressure from this group of people, Murong Xinyun was also frightened.

After the group of people had gone far away, she raised her head and came to her senses, then asked the palace maid beside her:

"You said the person who just walked past was Ye Mingsheng?"

The palace maid was secretly surprised at Murong Xinyun's direct address of the Emperor Daqian by his name, but in response to her own queen's question, she organized her words and said:

"The one who just walked past was His Majesty!"

Murong Xinyun was a little surprised when he heard this and asked:
"Shouldn't the emperor travel in the palace in a dragon sedan chair?"

"According to the rules, the Ministry of Works was supposed to build a dragon sedan for His Majesty, but His Majesty said he wanted to exercise, so he insisted on walking in the palace. So they didn't let the Ministry of Works build it, but only asked them to build a phoenix sedan for the Queen Mother..."

At this point the maid hesitated for a moment and whispered again:
"But everyone privately said that His Majesty didn't want to use the dragon sedan just for exercise!"

Hearing this, Murong Xinyun also asked curiously:
"What's that for?"

"Your Majesty is stingy! The dragon sedan from the Ministry of Works costs thousands of taels of silver, and Your Majesty is reluctant to spend this money. Your Majesty has always been very stingy in the palace. Although everyone's allowance is paid on time, the Empress originally had a grand plan for the recent expansion of the palace!"

"But because His Majesty disagreed, the expansion plan has been reduced again and again. Even the Empress Dowager said that the current expansion plan is too small. Even the clothes of us palace maids are from last year. The palace does not have the money to make a new set of clothes!"

Listening to the palace maid's complaints about Ye Mingsheng, Murong Xinyun asked more curiously:
"Where did your Majesty's money go?"

"Your Majesty, where does the money come from? The court has reduced taxes and exempted taxes in many places. Where does the money come from if the taxes cannot be collected?"

Murong Xinyun was very surprised to hear this. She subconsciously glanced in the direction where Ye Mingsheng left, and became even more curious about the Daqian Emperor.

In her eyes, Ye Mingsheng is full of all kinds of contradictions. He seems to be covered with a mysterious veil, with too many unknowns·····················

At this time, Ye Mingsheng didn't know that someone was teasing him behind his back. He was immersed in the parent-child time. He had been too busy with work recently. In order to ensure that these official duties were handled effectively, Ye Mingsheng did not dare to neglect it at all to ensure that he could handle these matters effectively.

But a person's time is limited after all. Ye Mingsheng spent his time on official duties, so he must have lacked in other aspects.

So when Ye Mingsheng thought about the fact that he hadn't seen his children for almost two months, he felt filled with guilt.

So tonight Ye Mingsheng specially took some time out to make up for his responsibilities as a father. Ye Mingsheng planned to accompany Ke Xin and Jing Yan, the children born to Murong Qingwu, tonight, to accompany Xing Tong and Jing Heng, the children born to Bai Yuanyuan, tomorrow night, and to accompany Jing Cheng, the child born to Shen Yutong, the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

At this time, the two children, Ke Xin and Jing Yan, were also very surprised at their father's arrival, especially the elder sister Ke Xin, who kept sticking to Ye Mingsheng, telling him how much she missed Ye Mingsheng and what was happening around her.

As for the youngest son, Ye Jingyan, although he could not speak as fluently as his sister because he was not yet one year old, he also sat next to Ye Mingsheng and called him "Daddy" non-stop. Sometimes he even pinched Ye Mingsheng's nose and pulled his beard mischievously.

Although Jingyan is not even one year old, he is very strong. Pulling his beard made Ye Mingsheng grimace in pain, but Ye Mingsheng was not angry and enjoyed the rare parent-child time to the fullest.

For Ye Mingsheng at this moment, such a time when he can put aside all his calculations and interests is something he cherishes very much...
