Chapter 359: The Concubine Who Was Buried with the Emperor VS The Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 7
Yu Yao spent the whole day in the yard bored.

After dinner, she lazily lay in the yard admiring the scenery, secretly wondering whether Emperor Jing would send someone to look for her.

Sure enough, not long after, a chubby little eunuch, Xiao Fuzi, dressed in standard eunuch clothes, came to her yard in small steps.

On his round face, his small eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and he flicked the whisk in his hand lightly, with a somewhat ambiguous smile on his face, and said: "Miss Yu, the emperor wants you to move to the bedroom. The emperor has been waiting there for a long time. Miss, please pack up and go over."

Yu Yao slowly stood up and responded politely: "Please wait for a moment, sir. I will be there soon after I have sorted myself out."

Xiao Fuzi stood there, still politely saying: "It's okay, I'll wait here, I hope the young lady will hurry up."

She nodded slightly and turned back into the house.

The candlelight in the house flickered gently, creating a warm atmosphere.

She looked at herself carefully in the bronze mirror, gently stroked the ends of her hair, and after confirming that her makeup was perfect, she followed Xiao Fuzi to Emperor Jing's bedroom.

As she stepped into the bedroom, a scent of ambergris hit her in the face, mixed with a hint of incense, which made her feel involuntarily excited.

As she stepped over the threshold, a force suddenly came from behind and embraced her in his arms, domineering yet gentle.

She was startled and struggled instinctively, but she soon realized who it was and a delighted smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty, what are you..."

"Yu Yao pretended to be surprised, but there was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, and her attitude of wanting to refuse but also to welcome was just right.

Emperor Jing Rongyuan chuckled softly, and that laugh seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, carrying with it endless temptation and pampering.

"You're asking me this even though you already know the answer. What do you think I want to do?"

As he said this, he gently exerted force and threw her onto the soft and wide dragon couch, and he followed closely behind her and pressed on top of her.

"emperor……"

She reached out and gently pushed his chest, wanting to say something but stopping herself, her eyes containing both shyness and teasing.

She bit her lips lightly, like a bud about to bloom, her performance was just right, yet extremely seductive.

Rong Yuan chuckled, and there was a charming smile in his deep peach blossom eyes, which was very hot, as if it could melt people.

He raised his chin slightly, with a playful smile on his lips, "Little devil, weren't you quite bold last night? Now you are shy.

The blush on Yu Yao's cheeks became more intense. She hooked her fingers around the man's collar and said in a soft and coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, last night...last night the moonlight was too charming and bewitched people's hearts."

She unbuttoned his robe without leaving a trace, opening the collar to reveal his snow-white, strong muscles and beautiful mermaid line.

Her fingertips slid lightly across Rong Yuan's neck, like drizzle brushing against spring petals, bringing endless teasing.

Rong Yuan's eyes became deeper and deeper. He gently held the woman's rebellious hand and pulled her close to him. Their breaths intertwined and the air was filled with indescribable emotions.

"You are such a seductress! If you had used half of your seductive tricks on my father, you wouldn't have remained unknown and ended up being forced to be buried alive with him."

When Yu Yao heard Emperor Jing mention the late emperor, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

She didn't tease him, but hooked her arm around Emperor Jing's neck and said in a tender voice, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about the past. Now Yao'er only has you in her heart."

Rong Yuan looked at her affectionate eyes and listened to her words. Although he knew that she was only so obedient and said such flattering words in order to survive, it did not prevent him from feeling happy when he heard them.

He smiled and kissed her forehead gently, saying softly, "Since you are my woman, I will not treat you unfairly. After the mourning period is over, I will give you the position you deserve."

He was not worried at all that someone would recognize Yu Yao's identity.

This woman has always been unknown in my father's harem, and she has been using pollen to conceal her appearance all year round. I'm afraid few people can recognize her.

As for those people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they kept their mouths shut, and he had already given the order that no one dared to tell the truth.

Yu Yao listened to his words, and surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes.

This was already a promise from the emperor, so of course she was very happy at the moment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are so kind to me."

She happily held Rong Yuan's handsome face and kissed him, quite proactively. Rong Yuan was very happy with her sudden enthusiasm, "You little girl, you are so enthusiastic today."

After saying that, he leaned over and kissed her in response.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the man and woman lying on the dragon couch, like a pair of infatuated mandarin ducks.

The coffin of the late emperor stayed in the palace for 7 days. The solemn and heavy coffin was carved with exquisite patterns, and every pattern seemed to tell the achievements and majesty of the late emperor.

On the day of the burial, just as the sky was getting light, the entire palace was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

The eunuchs and palace maids were dressed in plain clothes, with their heads lowered, and moved lightly and slowly around the palace.

Emperor Jing was dressed in plain mourning clothes, wearing a white mourning crown on his head, and his expression was solemn.

He led the royal family, civil and military officials to the hall where the coffin of the late emperor was placed.

As the ceremonial officer sang and shouted, the funeral ceremony slowly unfolded.

The huge coffin was slowly lifted up, and the late emperor's face was covered with layers of brocade, looking solemn and distant.

Yu Yao was dressed in plain clothes, standing in the crowd, looking at the past that was about to be sealed forever with complicated eyes, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, rolling up a few fallen leaves, and the air seemed a little eerie.

The team carrying the coffin moved forward slowly, left the palace in a grand manner, and headed for the Eastern Tomb for burial.

Behind the funeral procession, there were twenty or thirty coffins, all of which contained concubines who were buried alive with the emperor.

They will be buried together at that time.

Yu Yao stood on a high place in the imperial city, watching this scene from afar, and felt a little relieved in her heart.

If she had not traveled through time at the right time and fought hard, she would probably be lying in a coffin like the concubines of the previous emperor.

As the funeral procession gradually went away, the depressing atmosphere seemed to still linger in the air.

She sighed softly and turned back to her yard.

In the following days, the palace was exceptionally quiet because of the burial of the late emperor.

Emperor Jing still did not arrange any specific tasks for Yu Yao, and just let her rest in the yard every day.

But at night, someone would send her to sleep with him.

The entire mourning period lasted 27 days. Except for the days when she had her menstrual period, when she was not called over and rested in the yard, she was the one who served him every other night.

Sometimes Yu Yao couldn't help but wonder how this man could be so energetic and not afraid that he would die in a woman's belly one day in the future.

In a blink of an eye, the mourning period was over, and the dull harem began to become lively. The concubines in the harem were all dressed up, waiting for the emperor to call their name.

This month, the emperor had already been fed by Yu Yao, and his interest in her had not yet faded. It was a time of intense lovemaking, so how could he have the mind to favor the concubines in the harem?

But observing mourning for such a long time without turning over the name card is bound to arouse suspicion.

At night, the chief eunuch of the Jingshifang came to Emperor Jing's bedroom with a green card.

Following behind were a dozen young eunuchs, each holding a tray filled with green cards of the concubines in the harem.

The eunuch lowered his head and said carefully: "Your Majesty, this is the green card of the concubine in the harem. Please turn over the card."

Emperor Jing was being intimate with Yu Yao in the bedroom. When he heard the voice of the eunuch in the Jingshifang, he frowned slightly and a hint of impatience appeared on his face.

He leaned lazily on the dragon couch, his eyes sweeping over the eunuchs.

Seeing this, Yu Yao obediently stepped out of his arms and tidied her messy hair.

There was a sly flash in her eyes, and she said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty, it has been a long time since you have picked the cards. I am afraid that everyone in the harem is eagerly waiting for it. You should choose one."

As she spoke, she gently pushed Emperor Jing's arm.

Emperor Jing chuckled and stretched out his hand to hook her chin, "Little devil, if I really choose you, won't you be jealous tonight?"
