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

Mo Ting clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it...

Since she chose to marry the emperor, he was destined to share this love with others. If he was jealous and temperamental every time, how could he be worthy of the position of empress?

Mo Ting took a deep breath, gently kissed Jiang Qingyan's hair, and said softly, "Whatever you do, my husband, I will support you. Just don't forget me after you enter the palace..."

Jiang Qingyan looked up at Mo Ting, who had a melancholy expression, and felt a pang of heartache. Mo Ting used to be extremely possessive, and even when he lost his memory, he didn't change his jealous nature.

But now that Mo Ting had become so sensible, she felt a little guilty...

She kissed Mo Ting's lips, her eyes filled with deep affection, and said, "Mo Ting, don't overthink it. No matter who's by my side, your place is unique. Since I chose you as my empress, I will treat you differently from everyone else."

Mo Ting pursed his lips, the disappointment in his eyes mostly gone. He dared not imagine the future, but at this moment he was certain that the Emperor loved him, and loved him very much…

At least he was the emperor's first man, and the only man who could stand by her side...

Thinking of this, Mo Ting's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. Since the Emperor still belonged only to him, he might as well take more...

Mo Ting lowered his head and gently kissed Jiang Qingyan's lips...

Sensing the desire in Mo Ting's eyes, Jiang Qingyan, despite her still aching body, couldn't bear to refuse. She tilted her head back and gently responded to Mo Ting's kiss...

Ever since Mo Ting learned that Jiang Qingyan's wedding night was her first time, his movements have become incredibly gentle...

An hour later, both of them were drenched in sweat from exhaustion. Jiang Qingyan rested her head on Mo Ting's muscular chest, panting heavily, and said, "Mo Ting... you're really getting more and more amazing..."

Mo Ting smiled and asked, "Then... does my husband like it?"

Jiang Qingyan murmured, "Mmm... I like it..."

Mo Ting whispered seductively in her ear, "If my husband likes it... then let's do it again..."

The two of them toiled like this all day, until the bright moon hung high in the sky, when they were so exhausted that their bodies completely collapsed.

Mo Ting glanced down at Jiang Qingyan, who was already asleep in his arms, and tightened his grip on her waist, wishing he could crush her and hide her inside his body...

Such a wonderful emperor, if only he could belong to only one person…

But this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before quickly dissipating. As long as he could have the Emperor, even if he had to share him with someone else, he felt he was the happiest person in the world…

Mo Ting and his wife had only a week of honeymoon, and the two spent every day in the room making love, so time seemed to fly by.

Soon it was time for the morning court session again. Jiang Qingyan sat in front of the bronze mirror, yawning, while Mo Ting stood beside her, carefully washing and grooming her.

Jiang Qingyan slumped her head and said lazily, "Mo Ting, you don't need to get up with me from now on. Yin Shi is too early. You should sleep a little longer."

Mo Ting smiled and said, "How can the emperor get up early to hold court while the empress is still sleeping in bed? Besides, I used to attend court every day and I'm used to getting up early."

Although Mo Ting said this with a smile, Jiang Qingyan could sense the disappointment in his heart. The Mo Ting of the past was a man of absolute authority in the court, but now he could only remain in the harem, his talents buried in obscurity…

After washing up, Jiang Qingyan took Eunuch Wang to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, while Mo Ting, who was no longer sleepy, went to the small kitchen to see what had been prepared for breakfast.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers were arguing endlessly about the marriage alliance between the third prince of the Xia Kingdom and the emperor.

Seeing Jiang Qingyan's indifferent expression, Lord Ning spoke first: "Your Majesty, have you really agreed to the marriage alliance with Xia? I've heard that the current King of Xia is even more ruthless than the late King. I'm afraid there's a trap in this marriage alliance!"

Jiang Qingyan rested her chin on her hand and said, "It's alright. Even if the marriage alliance is just a pretext, I have a plan."

Lu Nian, sitting in the audience, pursed his lips. He had met Yun Yuxuan before; he was handsome and had a good temperament. Could it be that the Emperor had ulterior motives in agreeing to let him come for the marriage alliance...?

After the morning court session, Lu Nian took Jiang Qingyan's hand and walked out of the palace, strolling around casually.

Jiang Qingyan squeezed Lu Nian's palm and asked softly, "Lu Nian, is there something you want to say to me?"

Lu Nian stopped and looked at Jiang Qingyan, "Does my husband like that Third Prince?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan paused for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "I like him, but the reason I sent him here for a political marriage is not just because I like him."

Lu Nian asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that, my husband?"

Jiang Qingyan pulled Lu Nian to sit down at a stone table and slowly said, "As the eldest son of Queen Xia, the Third Prince must have been forced to come here for the marriage alliance by the First Prince. So even if the First Prince has some kind of conspiracy, the Third Prince may not cooperate obediently."

Lu Nian narrowed her eyes. "What are your plans, husband?"

Jiang Qingyan smiled and said, "Based on my interactions with him during that period, the Third Prince is far more complex than he appears. If our Da'an is willing to help him ascend the throne, then the Xia Kingdom can be used by us in the future."

Lu Nian frowned and said, "What if the Third Prince doesn't listen to his husband?"

Jiang Qingyan curled her lips into a smile and whispered, "Then...sleep with him..."

Lu Nian didn't understand what Jiang Qingyan meant, but she didn't ask any more questions. In any case, the Emperor was exceptionally wise, and since she was so confident, she must have already come up with a foolproof plan.

Jiang Qingyan pinched Lu Nian's cheek and asked softly, "How are the wedding preparations going?"

Mentioning this made Lu Nian's mood instantly improve. "The dowry is all prepared, and we're just waiting for the day she'll marry into the family."

Jiang Qingyan lightly kissed Lu Nian's lips, "I'm so looking forward to our wedding night. I wonder how my beloved concubine is feeling..."

Lu Nian took Jiang Qingyan's right hand and placed it on her abs, blushing as she confidently said, "Husband... my body... is exceptionally good..."

Jiang Qingyan patted Lu Nian's abs with satisfaction. This kid seems to have been working out a lot lately…

After parting ways with Lu Nian, Jiang Qingyan returned to Chaoyang Palace, where Mo Ting was waiting for her at the door, and the food on the table was already laid out.

Jiang Qingyan felt a warmth in her heart. After get off work, the man she loved most was obediently waiting at home for her to have dinner. Wasn't this the life she had always dreamed of?

Mo Ting took Jiang Qingyan's hand and led her to the table, his face full of mystery: "Husband, please taste today's food and see if there's anything different?"

Jiang Qingyan picked up a piece of green vegetable with a puzzled look and tasted it carefully. This was not Liang Cheng's cooking. Could it have been made by Mo Ting?

She chuckled softly, "Yes...it is different. This dish is full of the taste of love..."

Mo Ting licked Jiang Qingyan's lips, clicked his tongue, and said, "This is the taste of love..."

After the two finished their breakfast, laughing and joking, they decided to go for a stroll, but suddenly an uninvited guest arrived...
