Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Yi Luo rolled her eyes at him and said disdainfully, "This bed is so big, it's enough for three people. If you think it's too cramped, then go sleep on the tatami mat. Anyway, your tatami mat is huge..."

After saying that, he kissed Jiang Qingyan on the lips, turned his body to the side and put his head on Jiang Qingyan's shoulder, wrapped one arm around Jiang Qingyan's waist, and closed his eyes with a satisfied look on his face.

Shen Yuan was utterly speechless. When it came to shamelessness, he had finally met his match…

He let out a long sigh, kissed Jiang Qingyan's lips twice, rested his head on her other shoulder, wrapped one arm around her abdomen, frowned, and closed his eyes...

Hearing the kissing sound twice, Yi Luo suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head, and kissed Jiang Qingyan's lips three more times...

Not to be outdone, Shen Yuan tilted his head back and kissed Jiang Qingyan's lips four times...

They took turns kissing Jiang Qingyan's lips, one after the other, until neither of them could remember how many times they had kissed each other, and then they kissed each other at the same time...

While Jiang Qingyan was asleep, she suddenly felt her lips were full. She slowly opened her eyes and saw two faces appear before her at the same time...

Especially Shen Yuan's incredibly ugly face...

Startled, she shoved the two of them away, exclaiming, "Holy crap! Are you two playing this game? When did you two get so close that you're kissing each other?"

Hearing Jiang Qingyan's exclamation, Lu Nian immediately woke up and quickly got up from the couch and came to the bedside.

Seeing Jiang Qingyan clutching her chest and panting heavily, Lu Nian asked with concern, "Husband, did you have a nightmare?"

Jiang Qingyan turned to look at Lu Nian, whose eyes were full of tenderness. He was so good… he never moved around while she was asleep…

She pouted and said pitifully, "Lu Nian... I want to sleep with you..."

As she spoke, she opened her arms to Lu Nian, begging for a hug...

Looking at Jiang Qingyan's adorable appearance, Lu Nian couldn't help but smile indulgently. He bent down, picked her up, and quickly left the bedroom.

Sitting on the bed, Yi Luo and Shen Yuan looked like two children who had done something wrong, drooping as they watched the two figures leave...

Only after the two figures had completely disappeared did Yi Luo furrow her brows in anger and lie down heavily, her back to Shen Yuan, muttering unhappily, "It's all your fault... you insisted on competing with me... now look what happened, Lu Nian got the better deal..."

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes at him upon hearing this, "Childish..."

After saying that, he ignored Yi Luo and lay down to sleep again.

Meanwhile, Lu Nian and Jiang Qingyan had already left the palace and arrived at the inn where they had stayed before.

After checking into the room, Lu Nian asked the waiter for a bucket of hot water, thinking of giving Jiang Qingyan a hot bath to calm her nerves.

After carefully removing all of Jiang Qingyan's clothes, he carried her into the bathtub...

After all that commotion, Jiang Qingyan was wide awake. She grabbed Lu Nian's hand and said with a mischievous grin, "Baby, come in and shower with me..."

"Shall we shower together? Okay..." Lu Nian's face instantly flushed crimson. Although she had already bathed with her husband before, she still felt shy and excited...

After removing his clothes, he slowly stepped into the bathtub and sat down...

The bathtubs at the inn were much smaller than those in the palace; it felt a bit cramped for two people to bathe together...

After a moment's thought, Jiang Qingyan smiled mischievously, straddled Lu Nian, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, "Isn't this less crowded...?"

Lu Nian gently caressed Jiang Qingyan's fair and smooth back with both hands, his eyes filled with desire, and then tilted his head back to kiss Jiang Qingyan's lips...

After a long while, Lu Nian buried her head in Jiang Qingyan's chest, breathing heavily, and murmured, "My husband is so amazing..."

Jiang Qingyan stroked Lu Nian's earlobe, tilting her head back and saying coquettishly, "Mmm... baby is amazing too..."

As the water temperature gradually dropped, Lu Nian, fearing that Jiang Qingyan would catch a cold, quickly pulled off the bath towel from the screen, carefully dried Jiang Qingyan, and then carried her to the bed.

Jiang Qingyan rested her head on Lu Nian's arm, her cheeks still slightly flushed, tilting her head back and repeatedly asking for kisses...

Lu Nian rolled over and pressed down on Jiang Qingyan, gently nibbling her earlobe as he said, "You little rascal, I didn't dare to tease you because I was afraid you'd be too tired today. Turns out you're still not satisfied..."

Jiang Qingyan feigned grievance and said, "It's all because I like you..."

As dawn began to break, the two decided to forgo sleep and continue their battle until daybreak before heading straight to the palace...

Yi Luo and Chen Yuan in the palace also didn't sleep all night... They argued all night over fighting over the blankets...

Only Gulimi slept soundly from the very beginning, sleeping until dawn...

The enthronement ceremony had begun. Yun Yuxuan, dressed in a golden dragon robe, slowly ascended to the highest position in the hall amidst the obeisance of civil and military officials...

He sat on the dragon throne and slowly said, "As everyone knows, I have married the Emperor of Da'an, so the entire Xia Kingdom is my dowry. I hereby declare that from this day forward, the Xia Kingdom shall submit to Da'an and obey the Emperor of Da'an."

The audience erupted in uproar. The ministers exchanged bewildered glances. Was the king joking? Giving away the entire Xia Kingdom as a dowry right after ascending the throne?

Yun Yuxuan continued, “During my time in Da’an, I have witnessed its strength and prosperity. The Emperor of Da’an is wise, brave, benevolent, and deeply loved by the people. Even if our Xia Kingdom does not submit to him, Da’an will eventually conquer us with its strength. Rather than let our people suffer the ravages of war, it is better to advocate peace now.”

Prime Minister Rong stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, “Your Majesty is wise. Now the Grand Wizard is also a member of the Emperor of Da’an’s harem. With his blessing, Da’an’s unification of the world is not far off.”

Upon hearing the mention of the Grand Wizard, everyone fell silent. Indeed, their Grand Wizard now belonged to the Emperor of Da'an; what was there for them to be awkward about...?

Jiang Qingyan, who had been standing quietly outside the hall listening to everything, smiled with satisfaction after getting the result she wanted.

After everyone had left, Jiang Qingyan slowly walked into the hall and gave Yun Yuxuan a thumbs up, saying, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You really keep your word."

Yun Yuxuan looked in the direction of the sound and his heart skipped a beat. He rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he was seeing things...

The person who arrived... was Yan Qing! Was he dreaming?

When he saw Lu Nian and Yi Luo behind Jiang Qingyan, he was completely certain that it was Yan Qing and his two concubines!

But...why is Gulimi here too...?

Could it be... that Yan Qing is... the Emperor of Da'an!

Yi Luo chuckled and teased, "Long time no see, Third Prince... oh no, now you're the King of Xia..."
