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

After closing the door, Shen Yuan gently put Jiang Qingyan down.

After Jiang Qingyan steadied herself, she took a deep breath and was about to unleash a torrent of curses when Shen Yuan suddenly captured her lips with his...

Shen Yuan had one arm around Jiang Qingyan's waist and the other hand supporting the back of her head, his lips moving with unparalleled tenderness.

She wanted to push him away, but Shen Yuan's kiss felt strangely familiar and reassuring to Jiang Qingyan, and before she knew it, she was deeply drawn into it...

After what seemed like an eternity, the two slowly parted from their kiss, but a hint of disappointment involuntarily surfaced in Jiang Qingyan's eyes; she actually felt she hadn't kissed enough...

Shen Yuan smiled wickedly, "How was it? Wasn't my kiss sweeter than the Third Prince's?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan's face darkened. The small flame that had risen in her heart was instantly extinguished by his words. This man's skin was still so thick...

Unwilling to answer his vulgar question, Jiang Qingyan turned to leave, but Shen Yuan hugged her tightly from behind, burying his head in her shoulder and murmuring, "I missed you so much..."

Jiang Qingyan raised an eyebrow. "Miss me? We've only met once..."

Of course, she wore a human skin mask in the Xia King's palace, so Shen Yuan didn't know that person was her...

Shen Yuan gently nuzzled his head against her shoulder, a hint of disappointment in his voice: "Only once? I'm so sad. So you really have forgotten me..."

Jiang Qingyan was completely confused. She probed the original owner's memories again, confirming there was nothing about Shen Yuan. Besides, such a handsome man—if she had seen him before, she couldn't possibly not remember him...

Shen Yuan turned his head and gently bit Jiang Qingyan's ear, saying softly, "This is punishment for you, you heartless man..."

Jiang Qingyan felt a surge of heat from the warm breath on her ear. This was no place to linger; Shen Yuan was definitely a bewitching woman, and if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to control herself...

She took a deep breath, mustered all her strength, and broke free from Shen Yuan's embrace. She opened the door and ran outside, shouting to the sky, "Ling Feng, come out and save me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ling Feng appeared before Jiang Qingyan in an instant, cupping his hands and saying, "Your Majesty, I am here. Who dares to harm Your Majesty?"

After speaking, he glanced at Shen Yuan behind Jiang Qingyan. He saw Shen Yuan with his arms crossed, leaning against the door, with a wicked smile on his face.

Jiang Qingyan, panting heavily, said, "Quickly carry me away, I want to go back to Chaoyang Palace!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately picked up Jiang Qingyan and carried her back to the courtyard of Chaoyang Palace in an instant using his lightness skill.

Jiang Qingyan gave him a light kiss on the lips as a reward, then got off him and jogged back to her bedchamber.

Seeing Mo Ting leaning against the bed reading a book, Jiang Qingyan took off her outer garment and pounced on him, suddenly kissing his lips.

Feeling incredibly aroused by Shen Yuan's teasing, Jiang Qingyan was exceptionally passionate towards Mo Ting, and the two of them spent the entire night together before finally calming down.

During the morning court session, Jiang Qingyan sat on the dragon throne, yawning. She hadn't slept all night and was simply too tired to concentrate.

She couldn't listen to anything the ministers said, since Lu Nian was there and he would tell her anything important after court.

Jiang Qingyan rested her chin on her hands, her mind filled with Shen Yuan's kiss from last night. That devil... If she didn't dislike the possibility that he wasn't a virgin, he would have completely drained her of her yang energy...

After the morning court session, Jiang Qingyan encountered Gulimi again. This time, before Jiang Qingyan could speak, Lu Nian went back first.

Gulimi strode aggressively toward Jiang Qingyan, and amidst the astonished gazes of the many palace maids and eunuchs, she wrapped her arms around Jiang's waist and kissed her deeply on the lips.

Jiang Qingyan hadn't slept well and was still a bit groggy. Faced with Gulimi's sudden action, she didn't react for a moment and stood there letting Gulimi kiss her.

At this moment, a palace maid couldn't help but cough, which brought Jiang Qingyan back to her senses...

Feeling the wetness on her lips, Jiang Qingyan was a little flustered, but she didn't push Gulimi away; after all, it was just a kiss...

After a long while, Gulimi finally pulled her lips away, buried her head in Jiang Qingyan's shoulder, and whispered, "Can you come to my place tonight? Even if we don't do anything, just stay with me quietly for one night, okay...?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyan's heart softened. The beautiful woman was pleading so earnestly, and she didn't have to do anything, just spend the night with her. She had no reason to refuse.

Jiang Qingyan gently patted Gulimi's back and said softly, "Okay... I'll come to your place tonight."

Gulimi's face lit up with joy, and she couldn't contain her happiness. With a beaming smile, she skipped and hopped back to her palace to wait.

At this moment, the prince spoke up, "Your Majesty, this Consort Shun is far too unruly, daring to do this to you in public..."

Jiang Qingyan smiled and said, "It's alright. This is the first time I've seen her so happy."

Back at Chaoyang Palace, they saw Mo Ting talking to Lu Nian, who was all smiles.

Jiang Qingyan chuckled and said, "What are you two whispering about again?"

Since that night when they drank together, their relationship has improved a lot, and Jiang Qingyan is happy to see them getting along so well.

Lu Nian quickly got up and helped Jiang Qingyan take off her court robes, saying softly, "The Empress just said that my husband did not favor Consort Yun last night..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan chuckled: "So you two were talking about this. Well... I didn't favor him, and he already has someone he likes, so I guess he won't be serving me in bed anymore."

Upon hearing this "good news," Mo Ting and Lu Nian exchanged a knowing glance and smiled knowingly. Now there was one less person vying for their affections...

Jiang Qingyan took a sip of porridge and casually said, "However, I have to sleep at Consort Shun's place tonight."

Lu Nian's smile instantly froze on her face. "But tonight is my night to serve you in bed..."

He'd been doing push-ups like crazy these past few days whenever he had free time, all to make a good impression tonight... but his husband was actually going to sleep with Consort Shun...

Jiang Qingyan patted Lu Nian's head and comforted her, "Be good, I'll stay with you tomorrow night."

Mo Tingwei was also unhappy and took Jiang Qingyan's hand, saying, "Husband, tomorrow night is my night to serve you in bed..."

Jiang Qingyan scratched her head, this was really a headache. She only had one body, not enough to share...

Seeing Jiang Qingyan's troubled expression, Mo Ting had no choice but to back down, "Then tonight, my husband will go to Consort Shun's place, tomorrow night to the Imperial Concubine's, and the night after that, you can stay with me..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Nian quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no, my husband will go to Consort Shun's place tonight, accompany the Empress tomorrow night, and then come to my place the night after..."

Jiang Qingyan found it somewhat amusing that the two of them were being so polite to each other. After a moment's thought, a mischievous smile instantly appeared on her face. "How about... you two come together tomorrow night?"
