Qi Ning's impolite behavior of neither bowing nor using a respectful title startled Yulan, who was standing to the side, so much so that she broke out in a cold sweat.

But Yue Zeyuan didn't seem to mind. He looked at Qi Ning and asked, "Didn't you see?"

"Yes, I didn't see it," Qi Ning said innocently.

Yue Zeyuan chuckled and clenched his fist behind his back: "Now you see, right?"

"now……"

Qi Ning, though unconvinced, retorted confidently, "So what if I saw it now?"

"If you see it, come with me."

Yue Zeyuan grabbed Qi Ning's wrist and pulled her away.

"Where...where are you taking me?"

Qi Ning was forced to stagger and catch up with him.

Seeing this, Yulan immediately followed.

Yue Zeyuan pulled Qi Ning onto the imperial carriage and then ordered, "Go to Yaohua Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Xu flicked his whisk and announced in a loud voice, "Let's depart for Yaohua Palace."

The eunuchs lifted the imperial carriage and headed towards Yaohua Palace.

Qi Ning pulled her wrist out of Yue Zeyuan's grasp. She glared at him and said sarcastically, "Your Majesty is so busy with state affairs, yet you have so much free time today that you want to send me back to the palace?"

Yue Zeyuan deliberately misinterpreted her meaning: "Are you saying you're upset that I haven't visited you these past few days?"

What he didn't know was that he had actually guessed correctly.

Qi Ning naturally refused to admit it, and feigned anger and embarrassment: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yue Zeyuan smiled but remained silent.

Before long, the imperial carriage arrived at the gate of Yaohua Palace.

Qi Ning alighted from the imperial carriage, and Yue Zeyuan followed suit.

"What are you doing down here?" Qi Ning asked him.

"This is my harem, how can I not come?"

After Yue Zeyuan finished speaking, he grabbed Qi Ning and led her inside.

"Hey! Let go of me, I can walk by myself."

Yue Zeyuan ignored Qi Ning's words and pulled her straight into her bedroom. He walked to the bedside and pushed her onto the bed.

Qi Ning slumped onto the soft bed, propping herself up with her hands, and stared wide-eyed at Yue Zeyuan standing in front of the bed: "What are you doing?"

"What do you say?"

As Yue Zeyuan spoke, his right hand was already slowly untying the dragon-patterned jade belt around his waist.

Qi Ning went to see Yue Zeyuan today hoping to get closer to him, but who knew that he would pull her onto the bed as soon as he came over.

She immediately jumped out of bed, pretending to run away.

But before she could stand up, Yue Zeyuan pressed her down again.

He looked down at her, hovering above her: "Trying to run away? Are you unwilling to serve me?"

Originally, Yue Zeyuan hadn't thought much about this matter since he hadn't visited Yaohua Palace for the past few days, but seeing her in the pavilion today, he immediately recalled what happened that night.

But Qi Ning pretended not to see him, which made him somewhat displeased.

Yue Zeyuan suddenly got the urge to teach her a lesson.

Qi Ning's shoulder was pressed down, and he couldn't move at all.

"It's not even dark yet, it's broad daylight, and you're trying to drag me into lewd acts in broad daylight? Why should I serve you!"

As she spoke, she tried to struggle again.

Yue Zeyuan pinched her face with one hand and sneered, "Let me tell you, no matter if you have Chu Hanfeng in your heart or any other man, now that you are my concubine, serving me is your duty. The more unwilling you are, the more interesting I find it."

The thought of the woman beneath him, who was once the Crown Prince's fiancée and almost became Chu Hanfeng's Empress, made Yue Zeyuan even more intrigued.

Qi Ning's lips trembled: "You..."

Yue Zeyuan looked down at Qi Ningyan's full, red lips, and stroked them with his thumb. Her lips turned white for a moment, then turned even redder in the blink of an eye.

That night, he felt as if he had never touched that place before, and he didn't know what it felt like.

Before Qi Ning could say anything, Yue Zeyuan suddenly lowered his head and bit her lips.

"Well……"

Yue Zeyuan gently bit down, then kissed him even deeper.

And so, his hands were not idle either, and he pulled open Qi Ning's clothes again.

Qi Ning: "..."

Okay, since her goal is to improve the relationship, improving it in bed is the same, right?

Or perhaps, progress is faster in bed.

Originally, Eunuch Xu and Yulan were following behind them, but they were greatly shocked when they heard the commotion inside.

In broad daylight.

Eunuch Xu quickly led the others out, closed the door, and stood guard outside.

Two hours later, it had already gotten dark.

Qi Ning lay sprawled on Yue Zeyuan's chest, her hair disheveled, her body trembling slightly, her eyes reddening and glistening with tears.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Yue Zeyuan finally showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

She looked much better now than when she was reluctant.

"Do you know you were wrong?" he asked.

Qi Ning raised her head, looking at him defiantly: "Where did I go wrong? I didn't do anything wrong!"

She got off him, hugged the blanket, lay down next to him, and kicked him, saying, "Get away from me."

"presumptuous!"

Yue Zeyuan uttered those two words in a deep voice, and Qi Ning paused.

But she quickly glared at him again: "So what if I'm being presumptuous?"

Yue Zeyuan almost laughed out of anger.

He grabbed her waist and pulled her close.

"It seems you're still not convinced."

After saying that, he kissed her lips again.

"Do not……"

Qi Ning was on the verge of tears; was it too late for her to persuade them now?

Her heart hadn't given in, but her waist had.

I should have known better than to argue with him. How come this guy has so much energy?

Xu Gonggong and the others who were waiting outside had heard the commotion inside stop and had ordered dinner to be prepared. They were about to knock on the door to remind them.

Before I could even knock on the door, the noise inside started again.

"Eunuch Xu, what should we do for dinner?" Yulan asked, blushing.

Eunuch Xu also looked embarrassed. He coughed and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go up later."

At this moment, the two people inside the bedchamber were oblivious to the situation outside.

Qi Ning was in a daze, and her eyes were somewhat unfocused.

She pushed Yue Zeyuan away, saying indistinctly, "No, I don't want it anymore."

Yue Zeyuan raised his hand and slapped her face: "Are you convinced now?"

"……Um."

Qi Ning was drowsy and didn't even know what time it was when it ended.

Yue Zeyuan tugged at her hand: "Get up and have dinner."

Qi Ning didn't even open her eyes, she just shook her head: "I'm not hungry, I want to sleep."

"Have dinner before you go to sleep."

Yue Zeyuan immediately helped her up.

Qi Ning felt more awake after taking a bath. She ate something haphazardly and then lay back down on the bed.

Yue Zeyuan stayed and went to bed with them.

As soon as Qi Ning saw him get into bed, she hugged the blanket and silently backed away, then turned over and huddled at the very back of the bed.

Yue Zeyuan naturally noticed her little actions.

Qi Ning kept her head down, muttering "pervert" under her breath. The next moment, Yue Zeyuan grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.

Qi Ning was startled and quickly turned around to look at him nervously: "What are you doing?"
