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

Looking at the exceptionally beautiful profile under the moonlight and smelling the fragrance of hibiscus flowers in the air, the Emperor suddenly had a good idea.

After waving away Fuquan and his entourage who were still following behind, the area became even darker after they left, with only the light from lanterns on distant rooftops and the still dim moonlight.

"Would Li'er like to do something by these hibiscus flowers?"

Looking into the Emperor's eyes, what else could Yue Li not understand?

That look was exactly the same as the one I had in the bathtub this afternoon—deep and dangerous.

"No, I don't want to do anything," Yue Li said firmly, shaking her head.

"Is that so? Then I want to do it. Will Li'er stay with me?" The Emperor whispered in Yue Li's ear.

"Oh no, and I haven't finished looking at the hibiscus flowers yet, nor have I finished exploring the Zichen Palace." Seeing the Emperor's increasingly gloomy eyes, Yue Li quickly made an excuse.

"No rush. You'll have plenty of time to explore the Zichen Palace later. The palace gates are always open for you." As the Emperor spoke, he flicked his finger, and a pink gauze sash fell to the ground.

Only then did Yue Li realize that the Emperor's hand had somehow reached her waist and untied the sash.

"You're not serious, are you?" Yue Li asked incredulously.

Is the emperor really that physically fit?

He was busy all afternoon, and it wasn't enough for him. He even had this thought again while we were having a meal.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to Li'er?" As he spoke, the Emperor urged Yue Li to get even closer to him, so that she could feel the changes in herself.

Ever since he experienced the joy of it, he couldn't stop wanting to be with Yue Li.

The sensation on her waist was so distinct that Yue Li instantly felt her lower back getting hot.

"you……"

Yue Li really wants to ask if your back can take it?

After all, even with her body's training, she only recovered after taking restorative pills.

But seeing the Emperor's dark eyes, she ultimately didn't ask the question.

While Yue Li was lost in thought, she leaned against a lush catalpa tree that was so thick that it would take three or four people to hug it.

Grabbing the Emperor's hand as he tried to lift his robe, Yue Li said nervously, "Let's go back to Zichen Palace."

Even though the lights were dim, she still felt unsafe there.

The Emperor did not brush Yue Li's hand away, nor could he, since Yue Li had used a clever trick this time.

He simply leaned close to Yue Li's ear and whispered a few words.

Yue Li: ……

Her face turned red instantly.

She really wanted to yell, "Exciting my ass! Exciting my ass!"

But in the end,

She gritted her teeth and said, "What you said is all true, so you have to keep your word!"

"Of course, my word is always as good as gold." To gain Yue Li's trust, he even used the word "I" (the imperial "I").

"Alright then." With that, Yue Li let go of her hand.

The emperor easily lifted the hem of his robe.

Seeing the Emperor's actions, Yue Li immediately remembered what the Emperor had just said. Looking at the open and unshielded surroundings, her heart pounded wildly.

I must say, it really is just as the Emperor said, it's extremely exciting here.

Fuquan and his servants, in accordance with the Emperor's request, came to a distance of about ten meters from the Emperor and his entourage. They dared not retreat any further than that, for they were serving the Emperor and it would be disrespectful to be too far away.

But a short while later, the group heard a sound that made them blush and their hearts race.

Upon hearing the sound, Fuquan's face flushed red instantly, and he immediately waved his hand, signaling the servants behind him to retreat as far as possible.

He took a few steps back and stood there again, but in a more secluded spot. This made it easier for him to observe whether anyone was moving around and to keep an eye on the Emperor's movements.

This commotion lasted for more than an hour, and Fuquan's legs were getting numb from standing for so long before he saw the Emperor carrying that master and striding over.

When the two reached the lamp, Fuquan noticed that they were covered in flower petals. He was about to speak, but then swallowed his words.

He could only carry a lantern and silently follow beside the two, illuminating the path for the emperor.

But a question lingered in his mind: Had those two just rolled into the flowerbed?

Otherwise, even on this bluestone road, you wouldn't be covered in flower petals, right?

Amidst these doubts, the pedestrians quickly arrived at the entrance of the Zichen Palace.

Seeing that Fuquan was about to follow, the Emperor said, "You don't need to go in. Just wait outside."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant obeys." Fuquan said loudly and subconsciously.

After saying that, he immediately patted his mouth lightly.

Who knows if the master is still nestled in the emperor's arms or asleep? If my shout wakes them up, I'll definitely get a scolding.

Seeing that the Emperor ignored her and strode into the Zichen Palace.

Fu Quan breathed a sigh of relief and walked to one side of the Zichen Palace gate, waiting for further instructions.

"Li'er, don't be shy, it's just the two of us now." The Emperor looked at the person nestled in his arms and said with amusement.

"Hmph! You still have the nerve to laugh? What did you say at the beginning? You broke your promise. I'll never trust you again." If she hadn't believed him, she wouldn't have agreed to such an outrageous request and had actually gone along with his nonsense.

"Li'er, you're wronging me. I always keep my word. When we go to sleep later, I'll definitely behave myself."

"Besides, I wasn't that bad just now! It was you who said the bark of the catalpa tree was too hard and hurt your back, so I changed the method." And the method was that he lay down in the flower bushes without hurting Yue Li at all.

Yue Li: ……

She said her back was hurting from the pressure and she wanted to finish quickly, but this guy changed to a different method.

"Hmph!" Unable to refute, Yue Li could only snort and let the Emperor carry her into the bathroom.

Anyway, this guy won't be able to run into her again tonight, otherwise she would definitely teach him a lesson.

Knowing he had gone a bit too far, the Emperor didn't cause any more trouble. Instead, he obediently bathed the two of them and then carefully dried Yue Li's long hair.

Seeing that the Emperor was no longer causing trouble, Yue Li stopped giving him attitude and softened her expression, letting him hold her as she fell asleep.

After a good night's sleep, Yue Li slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up.

The Emperor dressed her in a dress he had chosen beforehand. This dress suited the Emperor's taste perfectly; it was the red dress embroidered with peonies that the Emperor had selected yesterday afternoon. Wearing this red dress made Yue Li look even more radiant and elegant.

Then Feng Qing styled her hair into a half-up, half-down bun over her shoulders, and adorned it with a ruby ​​hairpin chosen by the Emperor and a pair of gold hair ornaments with intertwined branches. Instantly, this added a touch of liveliness to Yue Li's bright and elegant demeanor.

Seeing Yue Li dressed like this, the Emperor's eyes were filled with even more amazement.
