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

Upon hearing Jiang Qingyan's suggestive words, Mo Ting and Lu Nian exchanged a glance, their minds conjuring up a scene that would make their hearts race and their faces flush...

Their faces flushed instantly, and they hurriedly waved their hands, saying, "No...no...it's not necessary..."

As night deepened, Jiang Qingyan and Mo Ting enjoyed a relaxing petal bath together, lingered for a while, and then went to Chunhua Palace.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard someone muttering, "Why did it take you so long to come see me? I missed you so much."

Jiang Qingyan looked in the direction of the voice and, upon closer inspection, realized that the "person" speaking was actually the parrot.

She couldn't help but find it a little funny. She went over and stroked the parrot's head, asking, "Are you talking to me? Did you miss me?"

The parrot stared with its big, watery eyes and replied, "Yes, I miss you. The one inside misses you even more. Go in and see her."

Jiang Qingyan chuckled. This parrot was too clever. She nodded, "Okay, I'll go in and see her now."

Having said that, he pushed open the door and entered the bedroom.

The candlelight in the room was dim. Jiang Qingyan tilted her head and looked around, but did not see Gulimi. So she walked around the screen to the bedside.

The red gauze bed curtains were casually scattered, swaying gently in the breeze blowing in from the window, carrying with them a refreshing pear blossom fragrance.

Looking through the bed curtains, you can vaguely see a figure lying on the bed with its back to you.

Hearing Jiang Qingyan's footsteps, the figure turned around, and the blanket on his body slowly slid down his shoulders.

Jiang Qingyan curled her lips into a smile, slowly drawing back the bed curtains, wanting to see the person on the bed clearly, only to discover that it was a man... and incredibly handsome...

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Qingyan's eyes. Why did this handsome guy look so familiar?

Wait... he's Gulimi? So Gulimi... is actually a man?

Holy crap, a guy dressed as a woman!

Jiang Qingyan thought her cross-dressing as a man was already outrageous enough, but she never expected to meet someone like her...

Gulimie gazed at her with deep affection in her bright eyes, her moist lips moving as she asked, "Do you like it?"

Upon hearing Gulimi's gentle and magnetic voice, Jiang Qingyan felt her legs go weak and unconsciously sat down on the edge of the bed.

Gulimi stretched her arm out from under the covers, gently took Jiang Qingyan's hand, and murmured, "I'm not dressed. Do you need me to get up and help you undress?"

Jiang Qingyan lowered her eyes, staring blankly at his hand, which was even more delicate and fair than a woman's, and shook her head: "No...no need..."

Gulimie smiled and said, "Then hurry up and take off your clothes. I've been waiting for you for a long time and I'm getting sleepy."

Jiang Qingyan swallowed hard, feeling conflicted. Should she tell Gulimi the truth that she was a woman? Wouldn't that be too hasty?

Seeing that Jiang Qingyan didn't move, Gulimi frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Don't you like men? I am a man... Now that I've told you my true identity, which I've hidden for eighteen years, isn't that enough to prove my sincerity?"

Because of her exceptional beauty, Gulimi was raised as a girl by Gudebai from birth, with the intention of assassinating the emperor of another country when she was sent there for a political marriage.

But unexpectedly, his father died when he came to marry into the royal family, and his country was also lost...

She originally planned to find an opportunity to leave the palace, return to the southern border to rebuild her army, and declare herself king, but unexpectedly, she fell in love with the emperor...

Since the emperor prefers men, he will revert to his male form. He desires the emperor's favor and love, even if it means being forever trapped in the harem, he would gladly accept it...

Jiang Qingyan's heart trembled. So Gulimi, like her, had been raised as a girl since childhood and then sent here for a political marriage. Gulimi must have suffered a lot these past eighteen years...

Gulimie lowered her eyes, withdrew her arm, and sneered, "So it wasn't because of gender, you just don't love me... Fine, you can leave now."

After saying that, she pulled the blanket up to cover herself completely, and slowly closed her eyes.

Seeing his dejected look, Jiang Qingyan felt very bad.

She did like Gulimi. From the first time she met him, her feelings for him were different from those for others, but she didn't think much of it because he was a girl.

Since Gulimie was so frank, she had nothing to worry about. Besides, the man before her was such a stunningly handsome man; why not take advantage of him...

Jiang Qingyan stood up, walked around the screen to the small couch in the hall, and began to remove her clothes one by one, including the long gauze...

Gulimi felt the person beside the bed get up and leave. Thinking Jiang Qingyan had already left, he slowly opened his eyes, and a hot tear slid down his cheek...

Suddenly, the familiar footsteps came again. Gulimi turned her head to look and saw Jiang Qingyan with her long black hair cascading down to her waist. She was wearing only a casual bathrobe and slowly walking towards the bed.

Gulimie was overjoyed: "You didn't leave..."

Jiang Qingyan curled her lips: "Since I'm already here, why would I leave without doing something?"

Gulimi moved further into the bed and lifted the blanket to signal Jiang Qingyan to come in.

Jiang Qingyan slowly untied the belt around her waist, and her robe fell to the ground. Upon seeing this, Gulimi's eyes widened, completely stunned...

Good heavens, he finally managed to convince himself that he liked men, but it turns out the emperor was a woman...

When it comes to disguising their identities, the two are surprisingly compatible, sharing the same goal...

Jiang Qingyan lay down beside Gulimi, turned to look at him, and chuckled, "Now it's my turn to ask you, do you like it?"

Gulimi stared blankly at Jiang Qingyan's proud, snow-white breasts and replied, "I...like...I really like it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qingyan kissed Gulimi's lips. She wasn't drunk today, and Gulimi tasted fragrant, with a hint of sweetness on her tongue.

Overwhelmed with emotion, the two embraced tightly, their love blossoming...

Gulimie kissed the panting Jiang Qingyan in her arms and said softly, "For the first time, I feel...it's so good to be a man..."

Jiang Qingyan smiled, "There are even better ones..."

With that, he flipped over and launched a counterattack...

After a long while, Gulimi felt very comfortable. He let out a long sigh, hugged Jiang Qingyan in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Qingyan looked up at Gulimi's handsome face and saw the tear stains on his eyes that had just dried. She raised her hand and gently wiped them clean for him.

She gently kissed Gulimi's eye and whispered in his ear, "I will never make you sad again. I hope you will be happy for the rest of your life."
