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

After everyone had eaten their fill, they set up their tents. Jiang Qingyan wandered around aimlessly, only to find Yi Luo sitting alone under a tree, holding a wine jug in his hand.

Jiang Qingyan frowned. She clearly had a terrible alcohol tolerance, yet she always liked to sneak drinks. What if she got drunk and someone took advantage of her?

"Hey, why aren't you setting up your tent? What are you doing sitting here? Trying to look like a melancholy teenager?" Jiang Qingyan patted Yi Luo on the shoulder and joked.

Yi Luo slowly raised his head and saw Jiang Qingyan's stunningly beautiful face. His eyes flickered, and he mumbled indistinctly, "This humble subject also wants to be fed by Your Majesty's mouth..."

"What?" Jiang Qingyan didn't hear clearly, so she squatted down and put her ear close to his lips.

Yi Luo wrapped his arms around Jiang Qingyan's waist and whispered in her ear, "This humble subject also wishes to be fed by Your Majesty's mouth..."

Jiang Qingyan's ears were tickled by Yi Luo's hot breath. She curled her lips into a smile. So he was jealous.

She gently peeled off the human skin mask from Yi Luo's face, revealing his incomparably handsome face. She then took the wine pot from Yi Luo's hand, tilted her head back, took a sip of wine, and slowly fed it to Yi Luo's lips.

Yi Luo obediently opened his lips, took the wine from Jiang Qingyan's mouth, and then stuck out his tongue to hook Jiang Qingyan's tongue tip. The wine was slowly swallowed as their lips and tongues intertwined.

Yi Luo tightened his grip on Jiang Qingyan's waist, and Jiang Qingyan straddled his lap, their bodies pressed tightly together, their kiss growing ever more passionate.

Unable to suppress his inner turmoil any longer, Yi Luo pinned Jiang Qingyan down, frantically taking every inch of her mouth, his hands beginning to wander...

His hand slid from Jiang Qingyan's earlobe and neck down to the belt around her waist. Just as he was about to untie it, he was startled by Lvyao's scream and stopped moving. His mind cleared up instantly.

"Ah! I didn't see anything!" Green Medicine covered her flushed face and ran away quickly.

She had originally called Jiang Qingyan back to wash up, but who would have thought she'd stumble upon such a steamy scene? It was a total social disaster…

Jiang Qingyan withdrew her tongue, curled her lips into a smile, and teased, "Is the Great Strategist Yi sober now?"

Yi Luo awkwardly got off Jiang Qingyan and lay down to the side, panting heavily. Was he dreaming? He was actually kissing the Emperor passionately on top of him?

Jiang Qingyan turned around and lay on top of Yi Luo, raising an eyebrow and saying, "What? Trying to pretend nothing happened again?"

"Again? What does Your Majesty mean by that?" Yi Luo asked, puzzled.

Jiang Qingyan rested her chin on her right hand and said calmly, "Yes, again! Last time at the medicine hut, you and I kissed so passionately, but the next day you acted like nothing had happened. Could it be... that you're a scumbag who doesn't want to take responsibility?"

Yi Luo quickly explained, "This humble subject is not a scumbag! This humble subject truly does not remember..."

He actually kissed the Emperor at the medicine shop; no wonder Lu Nian said those things about him the next day… But… he actually forgot such a wonderful memory…

Jiang Qingyan extended her index finger and hooked Yi Luo's chin, teasingly saying, "Scumbags all like to renege on their debts after drinking. How are you going to prove you're not a scumbag?"

Yi Luo stared into Jiang Qingyan's eyes, his heart pounding faster. He took a deep breath, placed his right hand behind Jiang Qingyan's head, and lifted his head to kiss her.

This time, he was fully conscious; he was determined to memorize the emperor's breath and scent...

Unlike the previous two kisses, Yi Luo's kiss this time was very gentle. The warm touch of his tongue and the perfectly timed teasing sent a tingling sensation through Jiang Qingyan's body. She enjoyed Yi Luo's kiss; she felt relaxed and comfortable...

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Qingyan's lips were slightly swollen and red. She slowly raised her head to break the kiss and said softly, "Alright, we need to go back and rest. We have to leave early tomorrow morning. There's plenty of time for us."

Yi Luo's eyes were still somewhat unfocused, and a sense of loss welled up in his heart, but he could only agree. He got up, picked Jiang Qingyan up by the waist, and strode towards Jiang Qingyan's carriage, gently placing her on the carriage.

Jiang Qingyan smiled and waved to him, signaling him to go back and rest. She then blew him a kiss before turning and getting into the carriage.

Green Medicine had already prepared the toiletries and was sitting in the carriage waiting for Jiang Qingyan to return. When she saw Jiang Qingyan enter the carriage, she quickly handed her a damp handkerchief.

Jiang Qingyan took the handkerchief and gently wiped her cheeks. Recalling her kiss with Yi Luo just now, she couldn't help but smile and purse her lips.

Green Medicine blushed and stammered, "Your Majesty... was that young master also from your harem...?"

Jiang Qingyan smiled and nodded: "Yes, when I return to the palace, I will make a green plaque for him!"

A pang of sorrow welled up in Green Medicine's heart; after all, the Emperor still preferred men more...

Jiang Qingyan patted Lvyao's head and said softly, "Alright, you should go back and rest too."

After Lvyao left, Jiang Qingyan pulled back the light veil behind her, took off her outer garment, and lay down next to Mo Ting.

"Goodnight, my baby Mo Ting." Jiang Qingyan gave Mo Ting a light kiss on the lips, then rested her head on his arm and fell into a deep sleep.

The morning light was just beginning to break, and the morning sun shone through the gaps in the branches, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. Jiang Qingyan stretched and put on her outer robe before stepping out of the carriage.

Lu Nian had been waiting outside the carriage. When he saw Jiang Qingyan come out, a smile appeared on his face. He said softly, "Your Majesty, you're awake. Let me take you to have breakfast."

Upon opening her eyes, Jiang Qingyan was immediately delighted to see the handsome faces of Mo Ting and Lu Nian. She teased, "Huh? Whose handsome man is this? Oh! He's mine!"

After saying that, she stretched out her arms for a hug. Lu Nian smiled indulgently, picked up Jiang Qingyan, and carried her to the stone table.

Seeing Jiang Qingyan's still slightly swollen lips, Yi Luo thought of what happened last night, and couldn't help but blush slightly. She pursed her lips and chuckled softly.

Jiang Qingyan looked up at Yi Luo, gave him a mischievous wink, and made his heart race.

Seeing that Jiang Qingyan had already taken her seat, Eunuch Wang hurriedly sent someone to bring up breakfast.

Before Jiang Qingyan could speak, Lu Nian and Yi Luo sat down on either side of her, diligently serving her food.

Jiang Qingyan smiled contentedly, now enjoying the life of having women on both sides!

After having breakfast, the army continued their journey and arrived at Yunhai City just past noon.

Jiang Qingyan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "I love the sea, and I love handsome men!"

Upon arriving at the imperial palace, the Empress Dowager went directly to her own residence and sent Yinxing to convey that the Emperor did not need to pay his respects during the summer retreat.

Jiang Qingyan readily agreed, which suited her perfectly! However… presumably, the Empress Dowager had brought her male favorites, making it inconvenient for her to go and disturb them!
