"The emperor's women...even their feet smell so good?" Zhu Xiuyuan thought secretly.

"My dearest concubine, I looked carefully several times and you really didn't see any bugs?" Zhu Xiuyuan finally said.

"Well...it seems...there are indeed no bugs biting me anymore, but...but the soles of my feet are itchy and unbearable. Please help me scratch them, Aiqing."

At the same time, one of her feet was constantly stretching and relaxing, and her toes were sometimes opening and sometimes closing, as if she was feeling uncomfortably itchy.

"good!"

Zhu Xiuyuan agreed, moved his squatting position slightly, completely tucked his ankles under his armpits, freed up one hand, pinched her toes, and prepared to tickle her.

However, when his hand was only a few inches away from the sole of his foot, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, it's not convenient for me after all. I see that Your Majesty has brought a little palace maid, why not call the little palace maid?"

"No, she has gone far... Don't hesitate, my dear, I am itchy and unbearable, please scratch it quickly, I will be itched to death!"

"That's it...okay then!"

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't think too much. He fixed his toes with one hand, curled his fingers into claws with the other hand, and gently scraped the delicate soles of his feet with his nails.

"Ouch!"

Concubine You screamed in response.

It was both a scream and a shout of excitement.

“Come again, come again!”

"I accept your order!"

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

"..."

After a long time.

Concubine You had already laughed out loud.

After Zhu Xiuyuan put down her feet and stood up, she slumped on the chair for a long time without regaining her strength.

Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and subconsciously glanced at Concubine You's upper body, only to see that she had pulled up her dance clothes at some point and could no longer see anything.

Somewhat disappointed.

But he immediately looked away.

However, this scene did not escape Concubine You's observation.

The corners of her mouth slowly raised, but she didn't say anything.

Because she really laughed too much just now, and now she doesn't want to say anything.

"minister……"

"My dear...this matter must not be publicized to the outside world, as long as you know and I know!"

"yes!"

"Hey, it's all my fault that this damn little bug managed to get into my footwear at some point! Not only did it bite me, but it also itched unbearably!"

"If this were not the case, I would never let Aiqing tickle me... because for a woman, her feet must not be easily shown to others..."

With a loud bang, Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned.

That’s right!

Zhu Xiuyuan remembered.

The most important thing for women in ancient times was their feet, which should not be shown to others.

Even those brothel girls can endure thousands of people riding on them, but they will never show their feet to others!

More important than chastity!

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't understand this, but he didn't stop it from being one of the most important customs in ancient times.

"I..." Zhu Xiuyuan was speechless for a moment, "I deserve to die..."

"It's okay, dear, don't be nervous!"

Concubine You smiled, not seeming to have lost anything more important than her chastity, "This happened suddenly, and I am indeed itching and uncomfortable. Besides, this is what I asked for, so of course I can't blame you, I love you, don't think too much!

"

Is it so good?

Zhu Xiuyuan was very surprised.

However, he frowned, and when he thought about everything today, everything seemed to be filled with a strange feeling.

He had the illusion that Concubine You deliberately seduced him.

But...it shouldn't be!

He is not narcissistic to this extent yet.

Concubine You is not an abandoned concubine who was thrown into the cold palace. Emperor Chen dotes on her so much...

After thinking wildly for a while, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly remembered that when he first walked into this room, he had thought that Concubine You was going to talk about Qin'an Palace.

Then there are some plots.

For example, "coerce him to become her confidant", or "ask him to fully assist the prince" and so on.

But there are none.

Concubine You first studied his private life, and then what happened just now...

In short, Zhu Xiuyuan felt that Concubine You today was very unfamiliar.

Not at all like the same person before.

Since Concubine You didn't mention that matter, Zhu Xiuyuan thought about it for a long time and prepared to mention it on her own initiative to see how she would react.

Having made up his mind, Zhu Xiuyuan raised his hands and said, "My dear concubine, in the Qin'an Palace a few days ago... I really shouldn't have..."

"Qin'an Palace?"

Concubine You looked puzzled, "Oh, Aiqing is telling me that you behaved inappropriately after being drunk, right?"

Concubine You laughed and said, "It's okay. My dear, you don't have to worry about that at all. Although you were unbecoming of a drunkard, your majesty and I both laughed heartily..."

Zhu Xiuyuan hesitated to speak, but in the end he said no more.

unexpected.

She actually changed the topic.

Why is this?

Pretend it didn't happen?

Moreover, she did not offer her "compensation", which is extremely strange.

Zhu Xiuyuan felt for a moment that Concubine You's thoughts were too complicated and he couldn't guess at all.

He said in his heart, if you don't mention it, I will leave.

So, Zhu Xiuyuan said: "Madam, since there is nothing left, then I will...resign?"

"Well, please come back, Aiqing. Remember, although I will not pursue what happened today, once word gets out, it will be very bad for me and Aiqing!"

"I... obey your order!"

Zhu Xiuyuan left.

Take one step and look back three times.

Of course, it's not that he is reluctant to part with Concubine You, but he is waiting for Concubine You to "change her mind."

She never mentioned that matter, which made Zhu Xiuyuan feel awkward.

After all, he had been struggling with this matter for several days.

It turned out to be a waste of time.

In the end, it became unclear... He was unwilling to give in!

However, until Zhu Xiuyuan walked out of this door and was sent out of the Neiku Supervisory Office by Jiawu, Zhu Xiuyuan still did not wait for Concubine You to "change his mind."

…

In the deepest room of the Inner Treasury, after Zhu Xiuyuan left, Xiaocui walked in from the side door with small steps, holding a piece of clothing and a wooden box in her arms.

"Mother, is he the Marquis?"

"It's done!" Concubine You said nothing more.

This matter is taboo after all. It is inconvenient to say it clearly and we cannot say more about it.

"My slave, congratulations to the empress!" Xiao Cui jumped for joy.

"You little girl, why are you so happy?" Concubine You pointed her forehead.

"If the queen is happy, then the slave will be happy..."

Soon, Xiaocui opened the wooden box, took out various cosmetics, and began to comb Concubine You's hair and makeup.

Concubine You was almost agitated by having her soles scratched just now, and her bun was already messy.

"By the way, next step... what are your plans?" Concubine You asked with her eyes closed.

Her face was still a little red, and she had an afterthought expression on her face. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with the experience she had just experienced.

Especially when she thought of Zhu Xiuyuan's embarrassed and embarrassed expression, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but crack.

"Your Majesty, I heard from people that the 'Wuyi Plaza' in Shenleihou Mansion is about to open..."

At the moment, Xiaocui was dressing up Concubine You and talking a lot.
