I was hiding from gods and demons at the beginning, but it turned out that I was the boss

Qingtian asked Meili seriously: "Do you want to stay in the palace or go back to Morton Manor?"

According to her idea, Meili could start over and her status as imperial concubine could be abolished.

With her around, Meili won't be in trouble.

Even if the Morton family is in decline, Dougal is still a reliable elder brother. In the future, whether Meili does what she wants or remarries, she will have a good future.

Meili was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, then lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "I want to stay with Yi Na, and it's rare for me to be with you guys."

"As for the future, I haven't figured out how to start over."

Qingtian understood her dilemma.

For canaries that have lived under protection to return to the woods and mountains, it takes courage and gradual adaptation.

"Take your time to think about it. I support whatever choice you make."

"..."

After the two finished chatting, Qingtian took a nap in Meili's palace.

……

After waking up, she held a meeting with the cabinet ministers to reach an agreement on succession and arrange what needed to be done for the wedding the next day.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that the crowd dispersed.

Qingtian and Jenny Helen returned to the Queen's Palace, and Meili walked in with food.

"Finally, I can rest. My queen, I brought you a midnight snack."

Although Qingtian can go without food with her cultivation level, she has never given up this activity that makes her happy.

The delicate and warm dessert is as sweet as Meili’s smile.

"You are such a thoughtful female official." Qingtian teased Meili with a smile.

Jenny next to him widened her eyes and said, “Sorry, I didn’t expect that.”

"Don't mind it, it's just a joke." Qingtian waved his hand and asked the female officials to go and rest, as tomorrow would be more tiring.

Meili accompanied her in the restaurant, chatting and having a midnight snack, after which she said she had someone prepare a flower bath.

Qingtian was tired after two days but didn't refuse.

The bathhouse is located in the Queen's Palace and was renovated not long ago.

Behind the independent shower room is a shallow pool suitable for bathing.

The air was filled with mist and Qingtian was lying relaxed on the curved stone platform with a white background and golden lines.

The pink pool water, which exuded the scent of flowers and medicinal herbs, covered her back and was so warm that she felt drowsy.

Meili, who was standing beside her, was twisting flower petals in her hands. Seeing that she was tired, she gently stroked her back...

"Hmm?" Qingtian opened his eyes dazedly, "What's wrong?"

Meili lowered her eyes and slid her fingers down Qingtian's back. "You are more beautiful than before. Your skin is so delicate."

Qingtian's mouth twitched. If Meili hadn't had a face of an unparalleled beauty, she would have thought it was someone with bad intentions towards her...

"There are indeed changes after the advancement." Qingtian said lazily: "Meili, in fact, you are very talented, you should not stop practicing."

Meili gently applied the fragrant cream on Qingtian's back, "This is a new massage cream that has been recently launched. It can leave a long-lasting fragrance."

"Oh, not bad." Qingtian closed his eyes comfortably, and his voice became softer and softer.

"Although the training is a bit hard, it can increase your lifespan and keep you looking young."

"I always thought you were the most beautiful..."

"..."

After a while, Qingtian, who had been talking incessantly, lay on the stone platform and became quiet.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Meili's eyes flashed with a strange color, and she whispered softly: "She has no chance..."

Qingtian, who had a sensitive constitution, fell into a dream in a daze amid the hypnotic fragrance.

Someone seemed to kiss her in the dream...

……

The next day at dawn, the entire palace woke up.

Qingtian, who had slept for only two hours, slowly opened his eyes at Meili's gentle wake-up call.

She looked at the unfamiliar environment with sleepy eyes.

Layers of crimson draperies and gauze curtains covered the gorgeous walnut carved bed. Light beams filtered through the gaps in the thick curtains, adding some bright colors to the bedroom.

I actually fell asleep while taking a bath last night...

Qingtian was still sleepy, rubbed his brows, and asked, "Meili, did I fall asleep last night?"

Meili lifted the blanket and went downstairs to get clothes. "Well, the medicinal herbs in the bath have a sleeping effect. I didn't expect you to really fall asleep and sleep so soundly."

"You just entered the palace, so I stayed with you for safety reasons."

Qingtian's face froze. He had already reached the perfect divine level, but he still had this old problem of being sensitive...

Sure enough, no one is perfect.

Looking at Meili's naked back, Qingtian scratched his already messy hair in embarrassment.

"You don't have to accompany me in the future. I am used to resting alone. The secret guards will be on duty outside the bedroom."

Monkey rushed to the palace at night and rested in the side hall. Until the situation stabilizes, he will stay in Xilan as Qingtian's secret guard.

Helen and several other female officials were also arranged to take turns on night duty.

In addition, Qingtian is very sensitive to murderous intent, and the bedroom has an early warning defense array, so there is no need to worry about overall safety.

Meili paused slightly after hearing this, licked her lips regretfully, and whispered:

"Why, you don't even trust me?"

Qingtian shook his head, afraid that Meili would want to explain, "No, I'm just not used to...sleeping with two people."

Meili curled her lips when she heard that, put on her pajamas, turned back to the bed, and tidied up Qingtian's messy curly hair.

"Then what will you do in the future... Count Loren seemed to have stayed in the palace last night. Won't you two be together in the future?"

"..."

Qingtian awkwardly avoided Meili's teasing gaze.

She was a little helpless about Lorenzo's thick skin.

They came back from the canyon yesterday, and Lorenzo stayed in the palace on the pretext of recuperating from his injuries.

Due to the fact that Tasriel was half dead and the outside world was speculating about his relationship with himself, no one questioned why Count Loren, the deputy leader of the Southern Alliance, stayed in the palace during this sensitive period.

Even if someone is unhappy, they will not rush to make trouble for themselves.

It seemed as if everyone had tacitly accepted that he was their future true other half...

The relationship between the two is also very delicate now.

Lorenzo's wishes were very clear: the past was over, and he only wanted to grasp their future.

But I am still a little hesitant.

Although she no longer cares about what happened, her involvement with Tasriel and Bai Jingyan makes her retain some feelings.

It was difficult to explain to Meili, so Qingtian sighed and pouted.

"Meili, you have turned bad. You actually teased me."

It was rare to see Qingtian looking so cute, Meili's eyes darkened as she stroked her smooth cheek and smiled, "You'll get used to it slowly."

Qingtian froze for a moment. Meili's charming eyes made her inexplicably nervous.

She is indeed the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital...

Qingtian avoided her gaze and hurriedly sat up with the blanket in his arms, "It's getting late, we have to hurry..."

"I'll help you change your clothes." said Meili.

Qingtian refused, "No, just let Jenny and the others come, you also need to prepare."

"..."

After packing everything up, Qingtian followed the royal wedding customs.

Finally, he stood in the solemn Hiran Cathedral wearing a heavy long-tailed coat.

The one who took the oath of marriage to her was Tasril, who was fixed in a wheelchair with his eyes closed.

Everyone suppressed all kinds of messy thoughts, controlled their mouths, and watched with serious and pious eyes as the two people, one tall and one short, completed the wedding rituals.

During the ceremony, Qingtian herself put on the crown symbolizing the queen, picked up the scepter symbolizing power and waved it...

The dignitaries who participated in the ceremony were all smiles, and together with the priests, they wished the newlyweds happiness and hoped for permanent peace in Lanze.

The historic wedding was broadcast live on camera across the country.

The forest demons were also very sensible and hid in the Parmar Province, not coming out to cause trouble.

Flowers, salutes, white doves, music, everything is so beautiful and warm.

Everything seems so boring and ironic.

Sitting in the luxurious carriage pulled by eight white horses, Qingtian took off her veil and long white gloves, and angrily pulled Tasriel's expressionless face.

"What a boring wedding!"

"Asshole! Just wait, I will let you ascend to heaven soon."
