The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

"Yes, I can fly, but I'm not at that level yet, able to fly directly into the air without any external aids," Yue Li explained.

"Wow! Ah Yue, you're really amazing! But, Ah Yue, could you show me how to fly over walls and walk on rooftops?" Shao Qi looked eager to try.

"Okay!"

She never expected that she, who couldn't even fly on a sword, would still receive such praise!

After answering Shao Qi, Yue Li looked at Jin Chenyuan standing to the side.

"A-Yuan, do you want to go?"

"Of course I want to. I've always been curious about everything about Ah Li."

"I requested it first. Even if Prince Chen wanted to go, he would have to be behind me in line, right?" As he spoke, he looked at Yue Li with a questioning gaze.

Jin Chenyuan: ...

Why is his fist itchy?

"Okay, then I'll take you flying around this forest a couple of times." Yue Li felt that as the head of the family, she needed to treat everyone equally.

After saying that, she raised her left hand and put it around Shao Qi's waist. "Put your hand on my shoulder, relax your body, and shut your mouth."

"Okay, I'm ready." Shao Qi's excitement was palpable as he spoke.

"Let's go then."

After saying that, Yue Li led Shao Qi and used the trees as leverage to fly through the forest.

Jin Chenyuan watched the two people moving through the woods, his surprise evident in his eyes.

Thinking back to what the guard who first found Yue Li the day before yesterday had reported to her in the study at noon.

He said he saw with his own eyes the princess fly down from a tree, then step onto the lake surface, holding a white silk ribbon, and save the heir of the Marquis of Ruyang who had fallen into the lake.

He originally intended to ask Yue Li about this, since flying down from a tree and rescuing someone while stepping on the lake surface sounded too absurd.

But such an outrageous thing is happening right before my eyes.

Although he had guessed that Yue Li was hiding a secret, he never expected it to be this kind of secret.

Such methods were unprecedented to him. And those pills in Yue Li's hands... it seems he'll have to find time to look through the old books in the palace library. Perhaps he can find some information about these things there.

Thinking back, if I hadn't been injured during my trip into the mountains, Yue Li probably wouldn't have revealed this.

"Hahaha, this was so exciting!" As soon as Yue Li landed with Shao Qi, Shao Qi couldn't wait to express his feelings.

Shao Qi's happy smile seemed contagious, making Yue Li smile involuntarily as well.

"Ah Yuan, do you want to play?" Yue Li asked Jin Chenyuan with a smile.

She was able to bring this up mainly to make things easier for herself in the future, and also because she felt that the guard who first appeared when she rescued the person must have seen something.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Ah Li." Jin Chenyuan said with a smile, looking at Yue Li's rosy cheeks.

When Yue Li saw the warm smile return to Jin Chenyuan's face, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The events of the past few days, whether it was her going up the mountain or her affair with Shao Qi, have made Jin Chenyuan's aloofness even more pronounced.

Now the ice and snow on Jin Chenyuan's body have melted and he has regained his warmth.

"Then let's go." Yue Li's smile deepened.

As she spoke, she put one arm around Jin Chenyuan's waist and led him through the woods.

However, this time Yue Li did not circle around the forest, but instead led Jin Chenyuan away into the distance.

Stepping on the bushes that were taller than a person, Yue Li led Jin Chenyuan to a patch of wildflowers and stopped them there.

Although these wildflowers are not as precious as those in the Prince Chen's garden, they are still very fragrant and have a unique wild charm.

"Ah Yuan, you're not angry, you don't mind?" Yue Li leaned against Jin Chenyuan's chest and suddenly asked.

Then she noticed that Jin Chenyuan's body suddenly paused, and then relaxed again. "As long as A-Li is happy, I won't be angry."

Clearly, Jin Chenyuan knew she was referring to Shao Qi.

"Thank you, A-Yuan." Yue Li wrapped her arms around Jin Chenyuan's neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his thin lips.

Isn't the polyandry in this world just like the polygamy in the novels I used to read?

That was the helplessness of women, having to give birth while also vying for favor and status.

Although men in this world also face the helplessness of not being able to possess a wife exclusively, and in various circumstances, men even have to find other men for their wives, men in this world have rights!

Power was in the hands of men. Although women were pampered, they had no rights whatsoever and were kept so idle that they knew nothing about farming.

If there were more women than men, would they still have a chance to survive?

Yue Li suddenly felt that those pills that could produce daughters in her space were probably going to gather dust.

Since the women of this world have been raised like this, let them continue to be raised; there are advantages to having fewer women.

Moreover, if men can have three wives and four concubines, why can't women?

Jin Chenyuan hadn't expected Yue Li to take the initiative, but he quickly recovered and regained control.

They only let go of each other when they were both panting.

Jin Chenyuan pressed his forehead against Yue Li's forehead, looking at her hazy eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Although I really want to have A-Li all to myself, I also know that it is impossible. But after A-Li has someone else in the future, can you leave a place for me in your heart?"

"Of course, you will always have a place in my heart," Yue Li promised.

Instantly, a captivating smile bloomed on Jin Chenyuan's aloof and ethereal face.

The two lingered there for a while longer before Yue Li led Jin Chenyuan back.

As soon as they landed, Shao Qi rushed to Yue Li's side and said with dissatisfaction, "Ah Yue, you didn't take me away for this long. Aren't you being too biased?"

Seeing Shao Qi's angry expression, Yue Li quickly comforted him, "I had something to talk to A Yuan about, which is why it took so long."

"Really? Why didn't you say it here?"

"What? What does the young master want to hear? I'll tell you." This time, before Yue Li could answer, Jin Chenyuan interrupted Shao Qi.

"Hmph! Fine, I won't tell you then."

Don't think he didn't see that A-Yue's lips were red. He must have taken advantage of A-Yue again while she was flying away with him.

Ignoring Shao Qi's grumbling beside him, Jin Chenyuan looked at Yue Li and said, "The day after tomorrow is the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by the Empress Dowager. If A Li likes to play on the estate, then we can go back tomorrow afternoon."

Yue Li pretended not to notice Shao Qi's furtive glances at her. "So fast? I haven't even had a chance to play around on the estate yet."

"It's alright. If A-Li likes it, we can come back to stay at the manor after we attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by Mother." Jin Chenyuan gently tidied Yue Li's hair, which was a little messy from her earlier movements, and comforted her.

"That's good too. I can stay at the manor longer then. I still need to go up the mountain to cultivate." Yue Li thought about the spiritual energy on the mountain and suddenly felt a little restless.

She just wants to reach the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible, so that she can have a lifespan of 200 years and then she won't have to worry about cultivation anymore.

After all, being able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage in this world is already the absolute limit.

Upon hearing Yue Li's words, Jin Chenyuan paused in tidying her hair. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke, "Ah Li, can I cultivate spirits with you?"
