Ji Fei had agreed not to touch Ye Qiu during the day, but he didn't leave Changchun Palace and seemed determined to stay overnight.
"Lady, the bath is ready," Qing E happily announced. Although the Emperor has been visiting the Imperial Concubine frequently over the past two months, he didn't favor her even once. Now that new concubines have entered the palace, who knew what could happen next? It was best for the Lady to conceive as soon as possible.
Ye Qiu understood why the palace maids were excited, although she herself was indifferent. However, she didn't plan to tell them about it. If Ji Fei wanted to stay overnight, let him stay; after all, she wasn't really going to serve him anyway, and right now she still needed the honor he provided for her endeavors.
That night, Ye Qiu stayed awake, but Ji Fei lying beside her with closed eyes seemed very excited, his face unusually flushed - it was unsure what he dreamt about.
