Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

If someone else could leave an object in his hands and let the emperor wear it and see it from time to time, he would be absolutely ecstatic. How could his weakness be the same as that of others?

Emperor Shenwu was delighted by Ruo Ruo's vague possessiveness towards him, just as he was possessive of Ruo Ruo himself, and he would not tolerate anyone else coveting her, not even the Lin family member who was only verbally engaged...

Lan Qingwu whispered, "If my husband wants to see the wedding rings, please come find Ruo Ruo."

"Okay," Emperor Shenwu replied, "I have kept it for several years. From now on, Ruo Ruo will guard it, and Ruo Ruo will be guarded by me."

His hands gently slid across her body. Lan Qingwu was overwhelmed with emotion and took the initiative to kiss the Emperor Shenwu. Just as she was about to withdraw, the emperor entangled her and their tongues entangled, making her completely fascinated...

Only two days later, the woven wedding rings were personally presented to Lan Qingwu by the Divine Martial Emperor. Lan Qingwu looked at the wedding rings lying in the emperor's palm and could not help but say, "How beautiful."

Three colors of silk threads are woven into colorful ropes, which are delicate and exquisite. Silver, peach and black are intertwined with each other. What is even more strange is that the black silk threads are faintly radiant with golden light, and they look like the material of the emperor's black dragon robe.

Look at the couple's rings below. The men's ring completely covers the women's ring, and the five silver threads running through it support the two smooth yellow ring bands. Looking at the two ring bands, you can also see the two peach blossoms inside. The two peach blossoms are reflected in each other up and down, with the word "Heng" in the center of the peach blossoms on the top and the word "Ruo" on the bottom.

Emperor Shenwu carefully put it on her neck and whispered, "It's beautiful!"

Lan Qingwu stroked the wedding rings and smiled brightly at Emperor Shenwu.

Empress Dowager Li arranged a marriage between Prince An and Li Wanqing, the fourth daughter of Duke Cheng'en. This news spread throughout the imperial city and the harem.

Concubine Li was in disbelief when she heard the news. Li Wanqing, the proud woman with her neck raised high to the sky, was going to marry Prince An? Or become his second wife? And become stepmother to the three children left by the original wife?

Although Prince An was a prince, his decadence had been well-known in the Imperial City for over a decade. What was Li Wanqing trying to do? Or was this another family arrangement? It didn't seem likely, as Prince An was a useless piece to the family. How could they be willing to waste Li Wanqing, a prime chess piece?

Concubine Li went to the Cining Palace to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Li and told her about this matter: "Your Majesty, I just heard about this wonderful marriage and was thinking of a gift for my fourth sister."

Empress Dowager Li nodded. "It's good that you have this intention. What's most important is that you two are happy with each other. Cheer up and live a good life from now on."

Mutual satisfaction? What exactly does Li Wanqing want to do?

Concubine Li agreed, "The Empress Dowager is right. The Empress Dowager has arranged the marriage. If Your Majesty gives us some rewards, it will be the icing on the cake for this good marriage. But Your Majesty..." She suddenly fell silent.

Empress Dowager Li frowned slightly. "Did His Majesty say anything when you were in bed with him the other day?"

Nanny Li glanced at Concubine Li. Concubine Li had been saying some ambiguous things in front of the Empress Dowager recently. The mother and the daughter already had a grudge against each other, so she didn't want to make it worse.

Concubine Li lowered her head in panic: "Your Majesty didn't say anything."

Empress Dowager Li's face was even more displeased, and she said nonchalantly, "The biggest problem is that they haven't said anything."

Then he said to Lady Li, "You may leave first."

After Concubine Li left, Empress Dowager Li said to Nanny Li, "The Emperor is unhappy with this marriage. He has a problem with the Li family, and maybe he has a problem with me too, thinking I was the one who insisted on the marriage, that a girl from the Li family should marry into the royal family again!"

Nanny Li hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please don't think so. If Your Majesty were truly displeased, you wouldn't have allowed Her Majesty to grant the marriage. As for the reward, Prince An is Your Majesty's brother after all. You can see that it will definitely not be less."

Empress Dowager Li simply said, "I hope so."

With the arrival of spring, all things revived, and the palace was already covered in green grass. On the second day of the second month, the Dragon Raises its Head, Emperor Shenwu went to the Temple of Heaven to hold important sacrificial ceremonies to honor the God of Agriculture and celebrate the Spring Ploughing Festival, praying for favorable weather, peace, and a good harvest in the coming year.

The Queen Mother had decided that Prince An's marriage would be scheduled for the end of February. At the same time, word spread throughout the harem that Liu would soon be entering the palace. Even if no one was chosen, there was never a shortage of flowers in the palace.

In Suowu Palace, Ruhan was talking to Lan Qingwu: "I heard that this is the beauty presented by Prince Kang, the younger sister of his concubine."

Ru Ping added, "Prince Kang, while drunk, boasted that his concubine Liu was the most beautiful woman in the world. Upon waking, he realized his mistake and offered his beauty to the emperor to atone for his misconception. My Lord, this Concubine Liu isn't necessarily beautiful, but Concubine Liu's favor with Prince Kang stems from more than just her looks. I've heard that Concubine Liu was specially trained, which is why Prince Kang favors her so much. If Concubine Liu is like this, then her sister... from what I've seen, she's no exception."

Lan Qingwu only frowned slightly, then said, "I understand." As long as that man held that supreme position, the world's most beautiful women would continue to enter the palace. Now all she had to guard was his heart for her.

Liu Cairen had been in the palace for half a month when the emperor summoned her to his bedchamber. She had been counting the days since her arrival, nearly giving up in despair when the imperial court finally arrived with the decree. She told Yumei, the head maid, "I've heard that your majesty has always been indifferent to the other concubines, summoning them to his bedchamber seven or eight times a month at most."

Yumei said, "Young lady...it's different now that you've entered the palace. If you serve His Majesty well tonight, you will surely retain His Majesty's favor."

Liu Cairen smiled slightly: "I am favored, and my sister's life in Prince Kang's Mansion will be better." And according to that person's instructions, she could only think of a way after she was favored.

Emperor Shenwu summoned Consort Liu to his bed for two consecutive days. Li Xiang stood guard outside the door, thinking to himself, this Consort Liu was quite capable. On her first day in bed, she had already called for water twice. From what he had seen over the years, he knew that only that master could make the emperor make an exception; all other concubines were only allowed to do so once.

Today was the second day that Concubine Liu served the emperor. He was still wondering how today would go when he heard the emperor's cold order: "Li Xiang, send Concubine Liu back." Well, that's how it will be from now on.

In the bedroom of the Qianzheng Palace's side hall, Lady Liu's delicate hand caressed the emperor's chest. Slowly, her hand slid down, and she leaned into the emperor's arms, her breath sweet as orchids: "Your Majesty, am I serving you well?"

Emperor Shenwu grabbed her chin and looked at her, "Are you Concubine Liu's sister?"

Liu Cairen said coquettishly, "Yes, Your Majesty, my maiden name is Mei'er. Your Majesty can call me Mei'er in private." As she finished speaking, her charming lips were about to kiss the emperor's face, but a large hand pushed her away. Then she heard the emperor's order: "Li Xiang, send Liu Cairen back."

Liu Cairen was still a little dazed when she was sent back. She was not sent back yesterday. She believed that there was nothing wrong with her serving the emperor. It was just that the emperor had never kissed her even when he was emotional. What did she say wrong today?
