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

Instantly, Yue Li's movements unsurprisingly came into his view, causing Jin Chenyuan's pupils to tremble.

Ignoring the inner robe he was still wearing, he stepped forward, picked up the disheveled Yue Li, and carried her into the bath.

"It feels so good!" Jin Chenyuan's approach made Yue Li cling to him like an octopus, absorbing the coolness he provided.

"Li Bao, don't rush, let's take a bath first."

Suppressing his body's reaction, Jin Chenyuan carried Yue Li and strode into the bath.

Next to the bedroom was a bathtub that he had built specifically for him. Although this bathtub was not as comfortable as a hot spring bath, it was much more comfortable than a bath tub.

The bathhouse was large enough for five or six people to bathe in, and it was more than enough for him and Yue Li.

Although Yue Li's makeup had been almost completely wiped off during their earlier actions, Jin Chenyuan still wanted to see Yue Li's true appearance, not a disguise, during their first time together.

While he was at an inn in Qingyuan Prefecture, he accidentally saw Yue Li's true face, and he has never been able to forget that profile.

Yes, the night before their departure, after the group returned to the inn from the night market, Jin Chenyuan, after arranging everything, wanted to go to Yue Li's room to talk to her for a while longer, to get to know each other better and deepen their relationship.

After all, he and Yue Li didn't have much time to talk at the night market; it was mostly Shao Qi who was talking to Yue Li.

Unexpectedly, when Jin Chenyuan walked to the window of Yue Li's room, he inadvertently saw Yue Li coming out after taking a bath through the curtains that were not closed. At that time, she was only wearing a white nightgown and was turning her head to the side, drying her wet long hair with a handkerchief. He could only see her fair and delicate profile through the crack in the window.

However, after seeing that scene, Jin Chenyuan turned around and went back to his room, and did not go to find Yue Li again.

Even now, Jin Chenyuan still wants to wash off Yue Li's makeup so he can see her true appearance.

"Splash!" That was the sound of the two people entering the water.

Entering the bath and feeling the warm water, Jin Chenyuan was very satisfied with Huang Zhong and the others' arrangements.

But now, Jin Chenyuan felt that the warm water was scalding hot to Yue Li, who already felt a surge of heat emanating from her body.

"It's hot, so hot..." Yue Li mumbled incoherently as she clung to Jin Chenyuan.

At this moment, in his own residence, in his own room, Jin Chenyuan had no more scruples. He reached out and first helped Yue Li take off her half-dampened robes, then casually tossed them onto the edge of the pool.

She kept coaxing the person rubbing against her, "Li Bao, take off your wet clothes first, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to have them sticking to your body."

Yue Li ignored Jin Chenyuan's coaxing and persuasion; she simply instinctively nuzzled against Jin Chenyuan's chest.

Even though Yue Li wasn't very cooperative, Jin Chenyuan patiently and painstakingly removed their clothes.

Freed from restraint, a passionate kiss instantly overwhelmed Yue Li. One hand ran through her long, black hair, supporting the back of her head, while the other caressed the delicate skin of her waist.

The deep kiss made it harder and harder for Yue Li to breathe, leaving her feeling suffocated and unable to catch her breath.

Yue Li, who had been hugging Jin Chenyuan's neck and welcoming his kisses, pulled her arms back and instead pushed him away against her chest.

Feeling the resistance from the arms in front of his chest, Jin Chenyuan relaxed his large hand that was supporting the back of Yue Li's head, and the two foreheads touched.

Seeing Yue Li finally getting some fresh air and panting heavily, Jin Chenyuan chuckled, released his large hand from behind her head, then supported her back and used his arm to pull Yue Li close to his chest.

Then, with one hand, he grabbed a handful of water and wiped it on Yue Li's face. After repeating this several times, the traces of makeup on Yue Li's face were finally gone, revealing her fair and porcelain-like skin.

Looking at the small, oval face so close to her, with a pair of captivating, fox-like eyes, arched eyebrows like the moon, a delicate, upturned nose, and full, cherry-red lips.

But at this moment, her usually bright fox eyes were now tinged with red at the corners because of the kiss, and her eyes were watery. Her long eyelashes were covered with droplets of water from her actions, and her lips were slightly swollen from Smo's kiss.

Looking at Yue Li, who was so alluring yet unaware of her own allure, and who was now gazing at him with those watery, fox-like eyes, Jin Chenyuan took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness within him, picked up Yue Li, and left the bath. He then took a large cloth from beside the bath and wrapped her completely inside, leaving only her little head sticking out.

"It's hot, don't tie it up, I'm uncomfortable."

Wrapped up like a silkworm, Yue Li writhed in Jin Chenyuan's arms. Jin Chenyuan found it amusing and patted her pert bottom. "Good girl, Li Bao, we'll be there soon, don't rush."

Seeing Yue Li about to break free of the cloth, Jin Chenyuan quickened his pace toward the bedroom.

Upon arriving at the bedroom, before they could even dry their hair, the two hurriedly rolled onto the bed.

The sky-blue gauze curtain was embroidered with exquisite Qilin patterns of various shapes, each only the size of a palm. The curtain was pulled down by a large hand, blocking the prying eyes of others and also obscuring a beautiful scene.

However, the sounds of panting and barely audible moans still continued to escape from behind the gauze curtains.

The sound continued for an unknown period of time, until a woman's cry of pain came from inside the bed curtains.

This was followed by the man's gentle coaxing.

Instantly, Yue Li felt so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes and slid down to the corners of her eyes.

Jin Chenyuan saw two crystal-clear tears slide from the corners of Yue Li's eyes to her temples.

Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed even more.

The inner room was illuminated by a luminous pearl, and only a few thin gauze curtains separated them, which did not obstruct one's view. Therefore, Jin Chenyuan could see all the expressions on Yue Li's face clearly, although they appeared even more hazy through the gauze curtains.
