In the bedroom at this moment, it was far from the awkwardness that the eunuchs and maidservants at the door might have imagined. The Emperor's garments were half-removed, and on the bed, he writhed like a worm.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhi Yue had already changed into clean undergarments and was standing by a potted plant, fiddling with its leaves. From time to time, she would lean down to kiss a leaf, and soon various unsightly red and blue marks appeared on her body, as if she had been thoroughly ravaged.
"Heh, Little Stone, aren't you Ming Wang Hun Yan? Can't you tell that my body is made of grass? After all, I've cultivated into a spirit; with the help of my siblings, it's quite easy. Just because I haven't reached the previous Dimension doesn't mean I have no means."
The Reincarnation Stone recalled how at the end of the last Dimension, its master had asked it to investigate Yun Zhi Yue's identity as a deliberate test. "I know you are a spirit plant. You don't seem like an ordinary spirit plant. Do you know your origins?"
Yun Zhi Yue paused in her actions of sucking on the leaves. What did Yue Qi say on the day when Yun Gong transformed into human form? He said, "Although you are the only Tai Chu Yue You Cao, born of my flesh and blood, you are mine. You only need to know that I exist; from now on, your name will be Yun Zhi Yue."
Yun Zhi Yue chuckled softly, sending a shiver down the Reincarnation Stone's spine. "What are you laughing at? If you don't want to answer my question, fine. Who are you trying to scare?"
"I have no origins; I am just me. Yun Zhi Yue is Yun Zhi Yue—it's just a nice name."
The Reincarnation Stone nearly rolled its eyes in exasperation; wasn’t that just stating the obvious? The Emperor had never felt as relaxed as he did today. In the past, every time he favored his consorts, it was pleasurable at first but left him somewhat fatigued afterward. Yet today, he felt invigorated and refreshed, as if he had returned to his youth.
But looking at the beauty on the bed covered with a thin blanket, her shoulders and neck marked but still unable to hide her allure, the Emperor recalled his reckless behavior and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pity.
"Consort, rest well. For these few days, there’s no need for you to pay respects to the Empress. I will wait until your health improves before visiting you again."
Yun Zhi Yue's breath was faint as she looked at the Emperor and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty." After speaking, she fell into a deep sleep.
Feeling a surge of affection for her, the Emperor immediately commanded, "Come here! From today onward, elevate Yun Meiren to the rank of Sixth-Rank Yun Liangyuan and grant her gold and silver rewards."
The Emperor bestowed many gifts in one breath before leaving with a satisfied expression. Once Yun Liangyuan's health was restored, he would undoubtedly continue to favor her. Unfortunately, he had exhausted himself too much; otherwise, he would have lavished her with affection for several days straight.
Crossing over Zheng Qi Pin and Sixth Rank, she quickly ascended three levels to Cong Liu Pin Liang Yuan, reaching the same rank as the recently demoted Xu Liangyuan. The degree of her favor was such that even Main Courtyard Consort Fang couldn't help but be astonished.
It was a rapid climb; the two were only one level apart. It's worth noting that she had spent three years in the palace just to barely attain the Proper Sixth Rank position.
That day, the inner palace was bustling with activity. Xu Pin had harmed Yun Meiren, resulting in her demotion to Liang Yuan. Yet, in a twist of fate, she seized the opportunity to rise to Liang Yuan herself! Given the circumstances, it seemed that the Emperor might still favor her tonight.
While each palace had its own schemes, the Emperor chose to favor someone else that evening. This shift caused many who had been watching Yun Zhi Yue to retract their gazes. It turned out it was merely a fleeting novelty; Yun Zhi Yue was fortunate to possess good health, but given her background, how far could she truly rise? There was no need for excessive concern for now.
With the Emperor's decree, even if the Empress was displeased with her failure to pay respects, there was little she could say about it. This allowed Yun Zhi Yue a few days of leisure.
In her chamber, she spent her days tending to potted plants without a hint of desire for favor. Just as she finished watering a branch and stepped back, she found herself unexpectedly in someone's embrace.
Yun Zhi Yue wanted to exclaim but found her mouth covered: "What are you panicking about? It's just a servant."
At that moment, their bodies were entangled in an ambiguous manner; Yun Zhi Yue was completely held by Luo Bai from behind, his hand covering her mouth while she wore an expression of alarm. The scene resembled that of a young woman being taken advantage of.
