Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

"I already said it wasn't someone else's kiss."

Baili Yong sat and watched the world and the heroes. The lies of the rich and powerful girl were easily broken like rice paper.

His sharp eyes and majestic demeanor made Ran Qianxi feel frightened.

"Why are you so serious?"

"You are seriously lying to me."

"what?"

Ran Qianxi was horrified when he heard this self-proclaimed title.

Since she couldn't convince him, the best thing to do was to leave. She turned to leave, but suddenly she heard a stern rebuke and stopped in her tracks.

"stop!"

Baili Yong stood up and walked over, suddenly raised his hand and touched her ear, making her feel numb all over.

"turn around."

She turned around as if possessed by a ghost, and Baili Yong raised his hand and touched her nose very lightly, making her feel numb and itchy.

"Come here and kiss me."

The imperial aura he exuded was so intimidating that Ran Qianxi had no choice but to let it go.

A scent of crabapple filled his nostrils, and Ran Qianxi gently kissed his lips. Her mature kissing skills made him unable to stop.

After a moment, the soft peach-shaped lips moved to his throat. He couldn't help but raise his neck and swallowed deeply.

"Take off your dress."

Hearing his unreasonable request, Ran Qianxi stopped.

"Why should I take off my clothes first and not you?"

Ran Qianxi pushed him onto the couch, lifted her skirt and straddled him.

“I like to do it while dressed.”

Baili Yong slowly raised his hand and touched her hair lovingly.

"That's fine~"

The noisy Red Mansion stirs up different sounds, everyone lingers there, the lights and wine control their minds.

There were sounds of music, dancing, cheering, quarrels and prostitutes' laughter, and it was impossible to tell where they were coming from.

But in the private room on the second floor, which was the farthest, largest and quietest, there was only Ran Qianxi's coquettish voice.

Concubines were not allowed to make any noise while sleeping with him, and Baili Yong lost a lot of fun. However, her appearance and mature skills easily won his heart.

She looked at him with a gentle gaze, with dirt hanging from the corners of her mouth. Baili Yong carefully wiped it for her with his fingertips, looking very greedy.

"Do you eat anything?"

Baili Yong smiled, held her in his arms, and touched her unwillingly.

"I'll pay attention next time."

The next day—

Baili Yong did not return to the palace at night, but he could not miss the day, so he got up at dawn and hurried back. He was almost late for the evening after getting dressed.

After the court session, Concubine Wan diligently brought the snow pear soup.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the soup bowl.

"Just let it go."

"I see you've been very busy these past few days, and I feel really bad for you."

Baili Yong closed the memorial impatiently.

"When am I not busy? You seem to be free, yet you are still bothering me."

Upon hearing the scolding, Concubine Wan immediately knelt on the ground and apologized.

"I deserve to die, but I also feel sorry for Your Majesty."

"Go back to your palace."

"Yes..."

Although Baili Yong would have someone accompany him due to official business, and because he had mentioned Concubine Wan several times, she became the favorite concubine in the palace, but since he met Ran Qianxi, he never asked anyone to accompany him again.

Three days passed, and at dusk, the eunuch came in holding a sign.

"Your Majesty, I am here to see you. It is late at night. Please give me your instructions."

Baili Yong took a quick look and showed no interest at all, his mind was only thinking about Ran Qianxi.

"Get out of here."

"Yes."

"and many more."

The eunuchs turned back again.

"I'm going to the Phoenix Palace."

"The slave obeys the order."

Baili Yongsheng arrived in front of the Phoenix Palace.

Although the queen was virtuous and reserved, he did not like her and there was no trace of affection between them as husband and wife.

The queen looked dignified and sensible. Although she was good-looking, she was not as good-looking as Ran Qianxi. The three palaces, six courtyards and three thousand beauties were all overwhelmed by her.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

"Be flat."

Baili Yong's tone was devoid of emotion.

"How come the emperor is free to come today?"

Baili Yong sat on the phoenix chair, looking down from above.

"I heard that you beat Concubine Zhen the day before yesterday?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen has disregarded palace rules and repeatedly spoken rudely to the heir to the throne. I have no choice but to do this."

Baili Yong lifted her chin and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Well played."

"Yes..."

Baili Yong stood up and withdrew his hand.

"The harem has become a messy place with too many people. Queen, you can clean it up. I allow you to deal with it first and report it later. Don't let me down."

"I will obey your order and send you off respectfully."

Jibei Palace

Tan Qianhuan was burning incense in the hall, and the air was filled with ethereal aura. Coupled with his stunning appearance, Ran Qianxi lost too much blood.

"Godfather~"

"Xier..."

Ran Qianxi walked over happily.

She didn't know that Baili Yong canceled the engagement in order to marry her, and always thought that it was her adoptive father who helped her.

"Good godfather~"

"Why do you have time to come here today?"

Ran Qianxi had no scruples at all. She rode on his legs and hugged him, licking and kissing his earlobes like crazy.

"I miss my foster father~"

Her voice became more and more numb. Tan Qianhuan tried his best to control himself, but he still couldn't withstand her attack. His heart was about to jump out of his throat.

"really?"

"Hmm...really..."

Tan Qianhuan was completely defeated by her and was just waiting for her to make more extreme moves.

When Ran Qianxi kissed the corner of his mouth, he was unwilling to let go even if a bolt of lightning struck him.

"Good godfather...are you willing?"

Tan Qianhuan looked at her affectionately, as if he agreed to everything.

Ran Qianxi untied his belt and slowly began to kiss him all over his body.

"Um..."

From this moan of love, Ran Qianxi could see that he liked and enjoyed it, but at the critical moment, Tan Qianhuan still pushed her away.

"Still can't..."

Ran Qianxi looked up in a daze, seeing his frown. Fearing that she would be disgusted, she could only smile faintly and put on her clothes.

"Don't force your godfather..."

Tan Qianhuan also wanted to be affectionate with her, but he was thinking about giving her a name. If he did something excessive, he was afraid that she would become a tool for him to vent his sexual desires.

"Since the marriage alliance has been dissolved, I can no longer stay in the imperial city. It's time to return to my fiefdom, so as not to cause His Majesty to worry."

"Godfather is leaving?"

"yes…"

Ran Qianxi persuaded him anxiously.

"Your Majesty hasn't issued an order for you to go back yet, so why not stay a few more days?"

Tan Qianhuan touched her cheek.

"If we wait for His Majesty's order, it won't be that simple."

Ran Qianxi didn't want to let him leave at all.

"Then when are you leaving?"

"After the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows slightly.

"The Queen Mother is going to have another birthday?"

Tan Qianhuan smiled. He had adopted this daughter at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet two years ago.

"Ah."

"When is the Queen Mother's birthday?"

"Five days later."

Ran Qianxi smiled playfully and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.

"I understand. I will prepare a birthday gift for the Queen Mother and I will go with my foster father then."

"You are being silly. Your father and mother will be back soon. You should accompany them."

"No, I'll just accompany my godfather~"

The gentleness of Tan Qianhuan's smile made Ran Qianxi even more fascinated.

"it is good."
