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

In the blink of an eye, Yue Li was left with only a thin pink undergarment, and her long hair was draped over her slender back.

Yue Li: ……

That person moved way too fast!

But then Yue Li learned what true speed really meant.

Before Yue Li could react to the Emperor's actions, he had already stripped himself naked.

"You, you..." How shameless!

However, before Yue Li could finish her accusations, the Emperor rushed up and interrupted her.

The bright yellow bed curtains were drawn, followed by a rustling sound from inside. Then a large hand tossed out a pink undergarment and a piece made of very little fabric that looked like two upside-down bowls.

"Hmm? Li'er, what is this? It looks much better than a bellyband." The Emperor's words were full of curiosity.

Yue Li blushed when asked the question and replied, "None of your business."

However, the emperor did not ask any further questions. After all, he personally picked the thing from there, so how could he not know?

He didn't have time to ask any more questions, because the Emperor had already taken action.

The temperature in the room instantly became scorching.

Two overlapping figures can be vaguely seen through the yellow bed curtains.

As the bed curtains swayed, a soft, white hand emerged from the gaps, stretching out as if trying to escape the bed.

However, the hand did not remain outside the bed curtains for long before it was quickly pulled back.

Next came a hoarse male voice, "Li'er, let's continue..."

………………

Shou Kang Palace

The Empress Dowager sat at the head of the table, listening to Xiao Shuanzi's report from below, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

They were all in the same palace; how could she not know about such a big commotion by the Emperor?

Moreover, the Emperor had obtained her consent to move the memorial tablets of the late Emperor and Empress Dowager from the Imperial Temple to the Zichen Hall.

Although this might disturb the peace of the late emperor and empress dowager, how can the needs of the living compare to those of the deceased?

So when the Emperor asked her, although she did not agree to go herself, she did not hesitate for long before agreeing to bring out the memorial tablets of the late Emperor and Empress Dowager.

After all, the Emperor did this because he values ​​Yue Li, didn't he?

The Empress Dowager now hopes that Yue Li, considering how much the Emperor values ​​her, will give birth to an heir for him as soon as possible.

The Empress Dowager didn't ask for much; she would be at ease as long as the child could inherit the throne.

After instructing Xiao Shuanzi to put the memorial tablets of the late emperor and empress dowager back in their original positions and to keep a close watch on the Zichen Palace, the Empress Dowager gave Xiao Shuanzi a generous reward before letting him go home.

After Xiao Shuanzi left, the Empress Dowager sat there for a long time before finally asking Zhu Xi, who was standing beside her, "When do you think I'll be able to hold my great-grandson?"

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Zhu Xi immediately bowed and replied with a smile, "Empress Dowager, please don't be impatient. Princess Consort Chen is clearly a blessed woman. Not to mention the young master, you might even be able to hold the heir of Prince Chen soon!"

Although she knew things couldn't happen so quickly, the Empress Dowager was still delighted to hear Zhu Xi's words and imagine that scene.

She gently pointed to Zhu Xi's position and said with a smile, "You're good at making me happy, but listening to your words, I do feel much more at ease."

"What are you saying, Empress Dowager? How could I possibly be lying to you? I'm telling you the truth!" Zhu happy immediately said with a smile.

Instantly, laughter erupted from the Shou Kang Palace, filled with the voices of masters and servants.

………………

The commotion inside the Zichen Palace lasted for an hour before it stopped. Then, the bright yellow bed curtains were reopened, and the Emperor casually picked up the robes on the ground and put them on. He bent down and picked up Yue Li, who was still on the bed and wrapped in a thin blanket, saying, "Li'er, I'll carry you to take a bath."

"Hmm." I feel sticky all over, it's really uncomfortable.

The hot spring pool, intended for the emperor's bathing, was naturally and extremely well-maintained.

A fist-sized luminous pearl was embedded in the bathroom wall, illuminating the entire room.

The hot spring water here is drawn from a mountain far from the palace. The entire floor and the bath itself are paved with white jade. There are four lifelike dragon heads at the four corners of the bath, spraying hot spring water into the bath. There are also several small holes at the bottom of the hot spring pool, constantly releasing water to ensure that the water in the hot spring pool is constantly circulating.

The Emperor, carrying Yue Li, slowly stepped onto the paved steps and entered the bath.

The warm pool water instantly enveloped the two of them, wetting the only remaining coverings they wore.

Upon hearing the commotion inside, Fuquan immediately led two eunuchs into the inner hall.

The moment he entered, Fuquan opened the side window to ventilate the room.

"Keep your voice down and be quick," Fuquan instructed.

"Yes, Eunuch Fu." Upon hearing this, the two eunuchs quickly came to the bedside, picked up the clothes thrown under the bed and put them aside, gathered up the hanging bed curtains and hung them on the copper openwork hooks on both sides, and then quickly folded up the soiled sheets and put them on the pile of dirty clothes, to be taken out together later.

Then he took out a new set of bright yellow sheets from the cabinet next to him and spread them on the dragon bed.

Seeing that the thin quilt on the bed was missing, a young eunuch deftly took out a bright yellow thin quilt from another cabinet, folded it up again, and placed it on the inside of the dragon bed.

Unexpectedly, during the short time the three of them rushed to catch their breath, sounds that made people blush and their hearts race came from the bath again.

Upon hearing the voice, all three instinctively looked towards the door leading to the bath.

After realizing what was happening, Fuquan immediately scolded, "Hurry up, are you done cleaning up?"

Upon hearing this, the two eunuchs immediately quickened their pace.

By this time, the air in the room had become much clearer. Fuquan took out a box of ambergris from a cabinet on one side, then took out a stick of ambergris from the box, lit it, and placed it in an exquisite, black-colored double-eared incense burner.

As the wisps of ambergris slowly drifted from the incense burner, filling the inner hall with its fragrance, Fuquan, along with two eunuchs, returned to the outside of the Zichen Hall, and the hall's doors were closed once more.

Another hour passed before the Emperor carried the unconscious Yue Li out of the bathroom and back to the inner palace.

Gently place Yue Li on the dragon bed that has already been prepared, take a set of quilts made in advance from the cabinet next to her, which are made in Yue Li's size, and first take out the cloth wrapped around Yue Li's body.

Looking at the red spots on her fair skin and the bruises on her sides, the Emperor felt a little guilty, but he couldn't help but stare and resist the urge to pounce on her again. He quickly put the robe in his hand on Yue Li's clothes.
