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

Jin Chenyuan held Yue Li's hand tightly the whole way. By this time, everyone who had attended the banquet today had already returned home. The two first went to the Empress Dowager's Shou Kang Palace, only to learn that the Empress Dowager was exhausted from summoning several noble ladies today and was currently resting.

So Jin Chenyuan instructed Zhu happy, the chief eunuch of Shou Kang Palace, to take good care of the Empress Dowager, and the two of them left the palace.

After leaving the palace gates and boarding the carriage of Prince Chen's residence, Jin Chenyuan patiently poured Yue Li a cup of tea. Only after she finished drinking the tea and quenched her thirst did he take the cup from her hand and place it steadily on the low table.

He then swept Yue Li into his arms, letting her straddle his lap. He wrapped one arm around her back and wiped the water from the corner of her lips with the other. He then leaned close to Yue Li's ear, gently biting her earlobe, and whispered, "Li Bao is too prone to flirting with men. It hasn't been long since the young master's affair, and today the emperor's affair happened. I wonder how many men will try to get close to Li Bao in the future."

He had somewhat anticipated Shao Qi's situation, but he hadn't expected the Emperor to also be in love with Yue Li. It was only because the Emperor had hidden it so well last time that he would never have allowed this to happen today.

"No, this isn't what I wanted to happen!" Yue Li said hurriedly, pressing down on the hand hidden under her skirt.

Ignoring Yue Li's attempts to stop him, Jin Chenyuan's hand continued to reach forward, his tongue tracing across Yue Li's earlobe and moving to the side of her neck. Jin Chenyuan said in a sour tone, "Does Li Bao look down on me now that she has them? Well, they are all younger than me, so it's understandable that Li Bao likes younger men."

Jin Chenyuan's actions made Yue Li gasp for breath. "You know I wouldn't do that, and you should know better than I do how today's events happened."

"Really? Then how about Li Bao proves it to me?"

Jin Chenyuan leaned back against the carriage, tilting his sharply defined jaw. The close proximity between them made him take a deep breath. Suppressing his impulse, he said in a hoarse voice.

"No, I'm still in the carriage," Yue Li refused outright.

"It was my oversight; I forgot that Li Bao is shy. But you can't blame me, since Li Bao only went to the palace and yet the Emperor took notice of her." Moreover, the two had the most intimate contact.

Jealousy and envy were intertwined in his heart, burning him with discomfort. This was the only way he could prove that Yue Li was still his.

Upon hearing Jin Chenyuan's words, Yue Li simply rolled her eyes at him.

Now that they're both like this, what's the point of saying anything more?

Seeing Yue Li roll her eyes, Jin Chenyuan just chuckled, placed his hands on her waist, and kissed her lips, saying, "In that case, I'll do it."

The carriage swayed and rocked all the way before finally arriving at the gate of Prince Chen's residence.

"Master, Your Highness, we have arrived at the Prince's residence," Qingyun reported from outside the carriage.

"Understood." At this moment, the two people in the carriage were still dressed neatly, showing no trace of their disheveled appearance just now.

Except for the fact that Yue Li's face was still flushed, her usually clear fox eyes were slightly red at the corners, and her eyes were filled with a seductive charm.

Even more noticeable are the few obvious red marks on Jin Chenyuan's Adam's apple.

Jin Chenyuan straightened Yue Li's belt again before getting off the carriage first.

When Yue Li stepped down from the carriage, Jin Chenyuan was already waiting with his hand outstretched below.

Yue Li placed her hand in Jin Chenyuan's outstretched hand and stepped off the carriage.

The view from the main gate of Prince Chen's mansion was no longer the same as when he left this morning.

Red silk ribbons were already hung on the plaque of Prince Chen's Mansion and on both sides of the gate, and a large double happiness character was also pasted on the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion.

"So fast?" Yue Li asked in surprise upon seeing this.

She wasn't surprised, because Jin Chenyuan had already told her last night that their wedding banquet would be after the Lantern Festival, which was three days later.

Yue Li didn't object to Jin Chenyuan rushing to hold the wedding banquet. After all, she was still focused on going to the mountain to cultivate. If she could get her marriage with Jin Chenyuan done quickly, she could help Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi, who had already taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill, to concentrate on their cultivation.

Otherwise, if they stay in the city, when will they be able to draw qi into their bodies?

What surprised her even more was the several boxes of account books that Jin Chenyuan had brought to her last night.

At the time, Jin Chenyuan said, "These are half of the Wangfu's property. Whether it's land deeds, house deeds, or shops, they're all here. This has also been registered with the government and has now been transferred to A-Li's name."

Fearing that Yue Li might be worried, Jin Chenyuan added, "But don't worry, A Li, all the property of the Prince's Mansion was inspected by the government before being divided in two. There is no situation where one person has more and the other has less."

At that time, Yue Li opened a box and glanced at the account books inside. However, she did not take over the business. Instead, she handed them over to Jin Chenyuan, asking him to find someone to manage them for her, while she would only collect the profits.

She was, after all, just one person, and she had no intention of using these assets to train her own staff.

Therefore, Yue Li plans that no matter who she marries in the future, the property that her husbands give her will be managed by them, and she will only collect the profits.

"We're in a bit of a rush, so we need to hurry, otherwise the whole manor won't be able to be properly organized." Jin Chenyuan put one hand behind his back and took Yue Li's hand as they walked into the manor.

As you walk from the main gate to the inner courtyard, red ribbons and various small lanterns are hung along the way, and every few steps there are paper-cut window decorations on the walls. Everything looks extremely festive.

Back at Chenxi Courtyard, Yue Li and Jin Chenyuan had just finished washing up and changing into comfortable clothes when Feng Chuan reported that Shao Qi had arrived.

"Let him go to the front hall," Yue Li said after thinking for a moment.

After all, Jin Chenyuan has a strong sense of territory, and he probably wouldn't be happy for Shao Qi to come to their courtyard.
