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

While Yue Li was half asleep, she felt a heat source next to her. The heat source got closer and closer. She could not smell the wine, but she could taste a faint aroma of wine.

Subconsciously, Yue Li pressed her tongue against the slightly alcoholic substance, but it was precisely because of this that Jin Chenyuan found an opportunity to entangle himself with her.

Their tongues instantly became intertwined.

Yue Li gradually came to her senses and realized the situation between the two of them. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Jin Chenyuan's neck, slightly raising her chin to respond to his passion.

Jin Chenyuan supported Yue Li's head with one hand, and with the other hand, he slipped his hand inside her slightly disheveled clothes, caressing her soft skin that had been unbound after her bath.

Only when the air near their noses grew thinner and Yue Li began to push him away did Jin Chenyuan reluctantly release Yue Li's cherry lips and begin to lick and kiss her delicate neck.

He pulled open her shirt by the hem, leaving a few red marks on her neck, but his thin lips didn't linger on her collarbone; instead, they moved down to kiss her.

Yue Li's eyes were misty with tears, and she held Jin Chenyuan's head in her hands, her fingers running through his hair, grabbing his black hair as if she wanted to hold him tighter or pull it outwards.

Jin Chenyuan's kisses did not stop, but his free hand rested on the belt around his waist. He flicked two fingers, and the belt came undone instantly.

Yue Li's two calves were crossed together, shaking up and down as if she was extremely bored. If you ignored the fact that her two taut calves looked more like she was deliberately shaking her legs for no reason.

A pair of long, strong feet stepped on the bedposts at the foot of the bed, as if trying to kick the bedposts off the bed, and kept exerting force.

A few strands of black hair, scattered on the red brocade quilt, slowly slid down the edge of the bed along the bed curtains that were not yet lowered.

The alluring sweet aroma of ripe pears in the air grew stronger and stronger.

Immediately afterwards, the bed shook violently, and Yue Li was on it. The few strands of black hair that had been hanging by the bedside returned to the bed, but this time they floated in mid-air, swaying incessantly in the wind.

When Jin Chenyuan woke up again, the still dim morning sunlight had already shone into the room through the window.

Sensing the confinement of the place that usually causes a violent reaction in the early morning, and looking at Yue Li sleeping close to him with her back to him, Jin Chenyuan really wanted to repeat the taste of last night.

However, considering that his actions last night were excessive and that he still had to go to the palace to pay his respects later, Jin Chenyuan finally suppressed his restlessness, raised his hand that was still around Yue Li's waist, and slowly pulled back until he was completely free from Yue Li. Only then did Jin Chenyuan breathe a sigh of relief.

This process was incredibly grueling.

He lifted the thin blanket, got up, and then covered Yue Li with the blanket again.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at the restless energy that still wouldn't calm down, Jin Chenyuan smiled helplessly.

He stood up, went to the round table, poured himself a glass of cold tea, and drank it all in one gulp, which calmed his burning desire.

Although he had given them both a bath before going to sleep last night, he was still covered in a thin layer of sweat after what had just happened.

Picking up the robe he had left aside the night before and putting it on, Jin Chenyuan stepped out from behind the screen and said directly to the still-closed door, "Fetch some water for the bathroom next door."

Jin Chenyuan knew that even when they were asleep, people would take turns waiting outside the room, so he wasn't worried that no one would carry out his orders.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Feng Luo's voice came from outside: "Yes, Your Highness."

Clearly, it was now Feng Luo's turn to be on duty.

Then came the sound of footsteps fading into the distance.

Before long, the sound of water being poured into the bathtub could be heard from the cubicle.

Jin Chenyuan took advantage of this time to prepare the robes he would wear when he entered the palace and Yue Li's dress.

They are going to the palace today wearing auspicious robes representing the status of Prince Chen and Princess Chen, so there is no need for much matching in terms of clothing and accessories, since there are established rules for it.

After preparing the clothes, Jin Chenyuan returned to the bedside. Looking at Yue Li, who was still sleeping soundly in bed, he reached out and pulled Yue Li, along with the thin blanket, into his arms, calling out, "Li Bao, it's time to get up. We still have to go to the palace today."

Seeing that Yue Li was unwilling to get up, Jin Chenyuan was once again glad that he had only been a leisurely prince, otherwise Yue Li would have to get up early every day to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

He called her name twice more, and seeing that Yue Li snuggled into his arms a couple more times but remained unmoved, Jin Chenyuan smiled helplessly.

It looks like he'll be carrying the sleeping person to give her a bath soon.

Just then, Feng Luo's voice came from the bathroom cubicle: "Your Highness, the hot water is ready."

"Okay, then you may all leave." Jin Chenyuan's calm voice reached Feng Luo's ears, who was still in the bathroom.

"Yes."

Even though Prince Chen was not in front of her, Feng Luo still bowed before retreating.

Holding Yue Li, who was still wrapped in a thin blanket, Jin Chenyuan got up and stepped into the bathroom.

Only after Yue Li was properly taken care of did she show slight signs of waking up.

Looking at Yue Li, who was squinting and seemed unaware of her surroundings, Jin Chenyuan smiled and said, "I didn't expect Li Bao to wake up so early. I thought I would have to carry you to the carriage later."

"What time is it now?" Yue Li sat up straight from Jin Chenyuan's arms, glanced at the window and saw that it was already bright outside, and asked with some confusion.

"It's already Chenshi (7-9 AM), A-Li, don't move yet, Feng Luo is doing your hair and makeup."

Because he needed to hold the still-sleepy Yue Li, after dressing her, he had the servants who served Yue Li come in to do her hair and makeup.

This was the first time that the four servants who served Yue Li had taken the initiative to do her hair and makeup, and they were extremely careful.

"Oh, okay." At this moment, Yue Li also noticed that she was sitting in Jin Chenyuan's lap, while Feng Luo, who was doing her hair and makeup, was standing next to her.

Seeing that Jin Chenyuan was only wearing a light robe, Yue Li sat down in front of the dressing table with herself in her arms and said, "How about I sit on the stool instead? That way you can get up and let Feng Chuan and the others help you put on your robe, right?"

Jin Chenyuan really wanted to hold Yue Li like this, but there wasn't enough time this morning, so he could only nod.

Upon hearing this, Feng Luo immediately stopped combing Yue Li's hair and stood aside.

Yue Li then got up from Jin Chenyuan's arms. After Jin Chenyuan stood up, she sat back down on the stool where Jin Chenyuan had been sitting.

Meanwhile, Feng Luo returned to his original position and began to style Yue Li's hair into an exquisite bun.

Feng Chuan and Feng Yan, who had been standing to the side, naturally overheard their masters' conversation. Upon seeing this, they immediately busied themselves dressing Jin Chenyuan and getting him the necessary accessories.

After adorning Yue Li's hair with two begonia flower hairpins, Feng Luo was about to put the seven-tailed phoenix hairpin that belonged to the Princess Consort on her head, but Yue Li raised her hand to stop her, saying, "This phoenix hairpin is too heavy. Let's put it on after we have breakfast."

Jin Chenyuan was already dressed in the auspicious robes representing a prince, while Feng Chuan was kneeling on the ground, attaching jade pendants, purses, and other accessories to his belt.

Hearing Yue Li's words, Jin Chenyuan agreed, "Since you find it too heavy, then let's wear it after breakfast."

Hearing that both masters said so, Feng Luo carefully put the phoenix hairpin back into the box that was specially used for storing phoenix hairpins, and then bowed and withdrew.

After Jin Chenyuan also tied his hair up with a jade crown engraved with python patterns, Feng Ting and his men had already prepared breakfast.

After the two sat down for breakfast, Jin Chenyuan carefully placed the phoenix hairpin into Yue Li's hair. Then, the two of them left the Prince Chen's residence with their entourage and boarded a carriage to head towards the palace.
