Chapter 133 The Prime Minister is actually a woman, and His Majesty the Emperor drools over her.
He flipped her over and pinned her down, looking down at her. It seemed dangerous, but Mu Wanwan had already anticipated what he wanted to do.
"You'd better not come here every day; if you keep walking at night, you'll eventually run into a ghost."
He didn't care; he needed to hold the sweet and soft Mu Mu every day to fall asleep.
“I’m sleeping alone in the palace. The bed is big but it’s cold and lonely. There’s no one to talk to. I don’t care. I can’t live without you now. It’s all your fault. You have to take responsibility.”
Mu Wanwan stared in astonishment at the man on top of her, reached out to feel the temperature of his forehead, and then tested the temperature of her own forehead.
"You don't have a fever!"
He grabbed her hand to stop her from moving. "I'm perfectly clear-headed right now. I can't live without you. I have to sleep with you every day. Please don't send me away."
He acted like an adorable Samoyed, kissing the back of her hand repeatedly.
"You can have Grandpa Qian keep you company! You won't be lonely."
"Mumu, I don't have that kind of fetish!"
He moved his hand to her waist and tickled her, making her giggle nonstop.
"Let's get started, so we can finish early and get some rest."
Mu Wanwan blushed and dared not look him in the eye. A battle was inevitable sooner or later, and she wanted to finish it quickly.
"Just this once!" She bit her lip and stared at him. She always fainted after they finished, so she couldn't go too far tonight.
"Okay, let's do it this once." He agreed with a grin.
Unfortunately, Mu Wanwan underestimated his stamina and duration, and it was impossible for her to finish early in one go.
The two were deeply in love and indulged in nightly revelry, while Consort Xiao smashed and broke things in the room.
"Did you really see the Emperor disguised and go to Prime Minister Mu's residence?"
The eunuch was so frightened by Consort Xiao's furious appearance that he stammered.
"Yes, concubine!"
How could this be? Could it be that, as she suspected, the Emperor really prefers men?
Consort Xiao pressed her hand to her chest, feeling short of breath and her head buzzing.
All the prey from the hunt was given to her; he was injured and stayed in the emperor's palace; he disguised himself as a woman to visit her incognito, pretending to be the emperor's wife; and now he's climbing over the wall in the middle of the night to find her...
Looking back on the past, the emperor had long harbored ill intentions towards Mu Wanwan.
No wonder he never favored any of the countless beautiful concubines in his harem.
As a concubine, she thought she was different from others, but it seems that she was just a useless vase placed there.
Mu Chenfeng was now confirmed to dislike women and be attracted to men! Consort Xiao felt even more distressed. If word got out, wouldn't she, as a consort, become a laughingstock?
She didn't sleep all night, and as soon as dawn broke, she immediately had her most capable eunuch pass the message on to Zhao Yihan.
Consort Xiao was waiting outside the Emperor's palace early on. Just as Mu Chenfeng was about to enter the gate with light steps, feeling refreshed, he was startled by Consort Xiao coming out from around the corner.
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."
Mu Chenfeng quickly regained his composure and turned around gracefully, "Why is the Imperial Concubine here?"
Seeing that the Emperor remained calm and discreet, Consort Xiao said, "Your Majesty, I have been missing you. Since our last parting, Your Majesty has not come to see me. Every time you come, Your Majesty is either busy with state affairs or retires early. I miss Your Majesty terribly, so I couldn't help but wait for you here early. I didn't expect to actually be able to wait for you."
Mu Chenfeng sized up Consort Xiao, who felt somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze. "Your Majesty~"
"Go back first, I will come to see you after court!"
"Yes!"
Xiaoling followed behind Consort Xiao, puzzled. "Your Highness, since you already suspect that the Emperor is having an affair with Prime Minister Mu, and you just saw the Emperor returning from outside in plain clothes, why didn't you expose him?"
"Are you really stupid or just pretending? He is the current emperor. How dare I question him? If he were to order our deaths, who would care?"
Xiaoling nodded repeatedly, saying that keeping one's head was the most important thing.
"Then why are you still blocking the Emperor here, Your Majesty?"
Consort Xiao smiled meaningfully, "If His Majesty only visits my palace for a short while, what do you think the other concubines will think?"
"They'll think the Emperor only loves you, Your Majesty!"
“That’s right! Even if the Emperor isn’t close to me, it would be good if he came to visit me from time to time.”
During the morning court session, Zhao Yihan's gaze kept lingering on Mu Chenfeng and Mu Wanwan.
No wonder Mu Wanwan stood by Mu Chenfeng's side without hesitation and fully supported him; it turns out the two had been secretly in love all along.
He carefully examined Mu Wanwan's appearance. Her disguise as a woman during her incognito visit was particularly striking. If it weren't for the fact that she was a man, who would have thought that this delicate woman was actually a man?
He knew that Mu Chenfeng had not touched any of the concubines in the harem since he ascended the throne; otherwise, Consort Xiao would not have had an affair with him without proper matchmaking.
For a woman, entering the palace is like entering a deep sea. Without the emperor's favor, how can she endure the loneliness of the quiet night? To be able to sleep with the emperor's woman is the greatest triumph in life.
However, Prime Minister Mu really does have a unique charm when dressed as a woman. Perhaps some people just love this style, like Mu Chenfeng.
He suddenly had an idea and looked at Mu Wanwan with an ambiguous expression.
After court, Mu Wanwan was to go outside the palace to publicize the newly issued policies, as ordered by the emperor.
"Is Prime Minister Mu about to leave the palace?"
Zhao Taiwei jogged to catch up with Mu Wanwan, while Mu Chenfeng watched them leave with a dark expression.
"Yes!"
Mu Wanwan gestured to him with what she was holding.
"This is?"
She sighed, "There's nothing I can do. His Majesty has ordered me to personally promote the policies regarding taxation and grain distribution. I'm afraid I'll have to leave the palace every day for the next few days."
"That must have been a lot of trouble for Prime Minister Mu."
"Not at all, it's all for the good of the people." Official statements were her forte.
"Prime Minister Mu, may I be your friend?"
Mu Wanwan stopped in her tracks. "Heh, interesting. Is the villain going to deliver himself to my doorstep?"
"Grand Commandant Zhao, you're being too polite. We've always been friends, haven't we?"
Zhao Taiwei patted his head. "Look at me, I was being presumptuous. I just wanted to be a true friend to Mu Cheng."
Mu Wanwan pondered to herself: True friends? Are they the kind of true friends who would betray you and then help you count the money? I'm not stupid!
"Grand Commandant Zhao has spoken to my heart, and I am naturally willing to become your friend. Among all the civil and military officials, you are the one I admire the most."
Zhao Taiwei remained unfazed. "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'm a little older than you, so you can call me Brother Yihan from now on."
Mu Wanwan nodded, "Okay, Brother Yihan!"
He pressed his advantage and extended another invitation, "Then there's no better time than today. After you've finished your work, please do me the honor of coming to my residence for a meal."
"Alright! Then I'll gladly accept your offer."
Mu Wanwan earnestly answered the questions of the villagers who came for consultation. She originally thought that people might find it difficult to accept and that she might need to spend some effort to explain it to them. Unexpectedly, everyone was very supportive.
After hearing that the emperor had executed the corrupt official Lord Li, everyone praised the emperor as a good emperor. When they heard about the emperor's decision, they praised him even more.
From afar, she spotted two familiar faces in the crowd. She put down what she was holding, got up, and walked toward them.
"kid?"
It turned out to be the little boy I had met during my last undercover visit; he and his mother had come together to listen to the policy.
"you are?"
