His Majesty Still Couldn’t Keep His Consort in Check Today

[Sweet emperor-and-consort romance + married couple familiarity + mutual jealousy + light comedy]

Shen Zhaozhao had been married to Xiao Chengjing for three years, and had always thought that life as his Noble Consort was pretty comfortable.

The emperor was handsome, not too bad-tempered, and most importantly, he indulged her.

It wasn't until their third year of marriage that she discovered a serious problem.

This man seemed to have no idea how to coax someone.

Shen Zhaozhao was angry.

Xiao Chengjing: “I had the Imperial Kitchen make the osmanthus cakes you like.”

Shen Zhaozhao: “...”

[Is osmanthus cake what I'm missing?!]

Shen Zhaozhao was jealous.

Xiao Chengjing fell silent for a moment. “There's nothing between her and me.”

Shen Zhaozhao: “And then?”

Xiao Chengjing: “...That's it.”

[Great.]

[After three years of marriage, I still want to kick the emperor out today.]

But when Xiao Chengjing himself got jealous...

“What did you say to Gu Wenzhou today?”

“Nothing much.”

“You smiled at him, too.”

Shen Zhaozhao: “?”

Wait.

Which one of us is harder to placate?

Later, the whole palace came to realize something.

When the Noble Consort caused trouble, His Majesty cleaned up after her.

When the Noble Consort dug in her heels, His Majesty gave in.

When the Noble Consort got angry, His Majesty had to make his way to Zhaoyang Palace in the middle of the night.

As for keeping the Noble Consort in line?

Everyone silently lowered their heads.

Forget it.

They'd been married for three years.

If His Majesty could control her, he would have done it by now.
