(Time Line: Before the Fake Death.)
One day, Ji Feiyu did something stupid again. She was testing medicine in the palace, and as a result, she knocked out all the palace servants in her own palace. Qiwu Palace was immediately paralyzed, and even Eunuch Li, who came to pass on Yong Yaxuan's message, was not spared.
Yong Yaxuan saw that Eunuch Li didn't return. After waiting for a while, he was puzzled. He sent someone to urge him. The person who came back said that when they got to Qiwu Palace, no one received them. When they went in, they saw a bunch of palace servants lying on the ground, so they came to report in a hurry.
Yong Yaxuan thought something serious had happened. He rushed to Qiwu Palace in a hurry. After knowing the reason, he was almost mad with anger. He immediately dismissed the people he brought with him on the spot and threatened to teach her a good lesson.
Based on past experience, Ji Feiyu was a bit scared. She turned around and ran, but was blocked by Yong Yaxuan in the corner of the bed.
"Your Majesty... I... I really know I was wrong..." Ji Feiyu shrank in the corner of the bed and looked at him pitifully. But he propped himself on the bed and stared at her angrily. A strange atmosphere filled the space between them.
Yong Yaxuan moved slightly, and Ji Feiyu covered the quilt and shouted, "No! Don't!"
Unexpectedly, Yong Yaxuan pulled her out of the bed. "Who said I'm going to punish you on the bed..."
Not on the bed but under it? No way. Is His Majesty going to use such a thrilling position? Just as Ji Feiyu had this thought, she was tragically dragged out of the bed.
Just as she was thinking it was all over, she was dragged to the painting studio on one side. Is he going to do it on the desk? Ji Feiyu was even more panicked. But unexpectedly, he just threw her there and went to the rattan bookshelf on one side to look for books.
Huh? It doesn't seem like he's going to do that... Or did he find the erotic pictures she secretly hid and is going to follow them?
Just as Ji Feiyu was in a state of doubt, he suddenly took out a book and threw it to her. He said angrily, "Copy the 'Code of the Empress' for me here properly. If you don't finish copying it a hundred times today, don't even think about sleeping!"
What? The 'Code of the Empress'? Ji Feiyu was stunned when she heard this. What on earth was she thinking just now?
Ji Feiyu looked at Yong Yaxuan in disbelief and said in surprise, "Your... Your Majesty... You're not going to punish your subject anymore?"
Yong Yaxuan couldn't help rolling his eyes at her. "Isn't this my punishment?"
"I mean... mean..." Ji Feiyu suddenly blushed when she looked at him and couldn't go on.
"Mean what?" He looked at her half - angry and half - amused. "What do you think I'm going to do to you?"
Well, Ji Feiyu admitted that she had thought wrongly. She should face the wall and reflect on her mistakes.
Ji Feiyu silently picked up the 'Code of the Empress' and turned to walk to the desk. Then she heard him say knowingly, "You don't think I'm going to..."
He suddenly stopped here. Then he said with a helpless tone, "Am I such a person in your eyes? Well, think clearly about what you did today. I'll stay in Qiwu Palace from now on until you finish copying. If you still haven't finished by tomorrow, I won't go to the morning court."
No way! He didn't even give her a chance to let someone else copy for her. He was really so cruel! Ji Feiyu looked up at him with a wronged face and asked pitifully, "Fifty times, okay..."
"No!"
"Seventy times then..."
"Your Highness, are you itching for a beating?" He slightly raised his eyebrows, his eyes sharp.
Ji Feiyu immediately gritted her teeth. "Fine! A hundred times it is." As long as he didn't ask her to sacrifice herself, she could do anything.
After thinking this, she started to grind the ink. Yong Yaxuan watched her sulking with satisfaction. He found a rattan chair and sat down comfortably. Then he sighed faintly, "It's been a long time since I last saw Your Highness so obedient."
Ji Feiyu didn't say a word. She found some white paper and started to write the first part of the 'Code of the Empress'.
"Since ancient times, the empress is the choice in accordance with the mandate of heaven. Accompanying the emperor, she must be virtuous and kind. None of these qualities can be lacking..."
...
Before long, Yong Yaxuan couldn't sit still. He started to walk around in Qiwu Palace. He took a plate of snacks from the outer hall and put one in his mouth to taste. "Mmm... The snacks from the imperial kitchen are getting better and better..."
Of course. It was Ji Feiyu's request, and they were made according to her recipe.
"... The taste is quite good."
Ji Feiyu couldn't help but stop writing. She looked at him pitifully. "Your subject also wants to eat..."
"Eat after you finish copying."
Mmm... Ji Feiyu's heart was deeply hurt at once. Although the 'Code of the Empress' wasn't long, it was only a little over a thousand characters for one copy, but there were a hundred times! When would she finish copying!
"The empress is the mother of the world and the most respected in the harem. Her actions should also be a model..."
Ji Feiyu continued to copy, but she was wailing in her heart. Damn it, she was so tired!
During the afternoon, Ji Feiyu saw Yong Yaxuan sitting, standing, walking and stopping in the palace. He almost made her dizzy. Sometimes he found a few books on the rattan bookshelf, flipped through a few pages and then put them back. Sometimes he came to supervise how she was writing. Sometimes he lay on her bed deep in thought. Ji Feiyu just couldn't understand why he was torturing himself like this.
The scariest thing was that every time he flipped through the bookshelf, Ji Feiyu was worried that he would see the erotic pictures 'Living Color and Fragrance' she secretly hid. Otherwise, if he knew that she had nothing better to do than look at the handsome men with excellent figures in the pictures, he would definitely increase the number of times she had to copy the 'Code of the Empress' to a thousand.
'Living Color and Fragrance' was a rare and unique copy in the world. It was also the top - grade erotic picture. Whether it was the painting style or the beauty of the characters, it was excellent. She got it from a blind and strange old man. He praised Ji Feiyu for being obedient while telling her that she mustn't look at it until after she got married. Ji Feiyu originally thought it was some kind of martial arts secret book about dual cultivation. But unexpectedly, after she got married to Yong Yaxuan, when she opened it, it was really a 'dual cultivation' secret book.
After that, every time they had sex, as long as the lamp was lit, she would always observe Yong Yaxuan's naked body from top to bottom while he was making love. She compared him with the people in the pictures. At first, Yong Yaxuan was always scared when she stared at him during sex. Later, he simply covered her eyes. "What are you looking at? What are you looking at?" At that time, Yong Yaxuan was still shy. But later, when Ji Feiyu didn't look at him anymore, he felt bored instead. So he showed off in front of her crazily. "How about it? Isn't my figure even more heroic today?"
Ji Feiyu withdrew her thoughts and sized up Yong Yaxuan strangely again. Yong Yaxuan was startled by her look. He suddenly said, "Stay here properly for me. I'll go and order the evening meal."
When Ji Feiyu heard about the meal, she immediately showed a smile on her face. She sent him off kindly.
After he left, Ji Feiyu secretly ran out of the painting studio and ate a few snacks in the hall.
This guy was really getting more and more hateful. He could even come up with such a way to punish her. She ate a few snacks angrily and then ran back to continue copying. A hundred times! Her hand was going to break!
Before long, a line of people entered Qiwu Palace. They were all holding food boxes in their hands. Then Yong Yaxuan's voice sounded outside the door. "Doctor Zhang, take a look at what's wrong with Eunuch Li?"
An old voice was silent for a long time before saying, "It seems that he's been drugged."
