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

Yue Li was now awake. Knowing that she would sweat again while eating, she said directly, "Let's eat first and then take a shower, otherwise I'll sweat again."

"Okay, then I'll get Li Bao a dress." With that, Jin Chenyuan told Yue Li to sit down, and he went to the wardrobe next to him and took out another white long dress. The fabric of the dress was light and soft, which was very suitable for summer wear. The dress was decorated with pink plum blossoms only at the waist, cuffs and hem, giving it a fresh and clean feel.

Matching the dress he was wearing, Jin Chenyuan restyled Yue Li's hair into a bun. He then picked out a milky white hairpin with pink accents from the jewelry box, topped with a lifelike pink peach blossom.

Looking at Yue Li's outfit, Jin Chenyuan sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Li Bao looks very fresh and clean in this outfit."

As the one who was served the whole time, Yue Li was also very happy to see herself dressed up so beautifully.

Who wouldn't love it? You don't have to lift a finger, and you still get dressed up beautifully!

Jin Chenyuan hung the purse back on Yue Li's waist. Seeing that she only had a lonely purse on her waist, he thought of the jade pendants in the boxes that Huan Yun had brought back from the storeroom. He felt that the pink jade pendant with butterfly and tassels was very suitable for Yue Li's current outfit, so he said to Yue Li, "Li Bao, I had Huan Yun put the jade pendants we picked out in the storeroom today on the table outside. Would you like to choose one to wear?"

Yue Li, who was adjusting her cuffs, trembled slightly when Jin Chenyuan mentioned the storeroom. She glared at him and said impatiently, "We're not going out now, why wear so many things? Besides, I need to take a shower after dinner. If I wear them now, I'll have to take them off later anyway."

Seeing Yue Li's flushed cheeks and feigned impatience, Jin Chenyuan really wanted to give her a big kiss on her rosy cheeks.

However, he also knew that he couldn't anger Yue Li, otherwise if Yue Li disagreed with him when he wanted to do something in the future, wouldn't he be the one who suffered?

"Li Bao is right, I didn't think it through." Jin Chenyuan admitted his mistake as he put his arm around Yue Li's shoulder and walked out of the room.

Yue Li: ……

I don't know what's wrong with this person. In this hot weather, they're always holding hands or putting their arms around each other's shoulders, and they don't seem to mind the heat.

Upon entering the outer room, Yue Li saw two newly placed ice basins. She immediately freed herself from the hand on her shoulder, walked to the soft couch closest to the ice basin, sat down, and fanned herself with a fan. Instantly, a cool breeze drifted towards her.

Feeling a cool breeze on her face, Yue Li comfortably squinted her eyes.

Looking at his hand still hanging in mid-air, and then at Yue Li's blissful expression, Jin Chenyuan shook his head helplessly. Without disturbing Yue Li, he stepped towards the door.

Seeing Huan Yun waiting at the door but not seeing You Yun, Jin Chenyuan knew that the two had switched shifts.

This was a rule previously established by Jin Chenyuan, allowing You Yun and the other three to take turns resting unless there were important matters.

"Go and summon the tailors and embroiderers I asked you to find before I left. Before dinner is served, have them take the princess's measurements, and also bring the fabrics I asked you to choose. When they come, have Chuanwu lead them. Go to the kitchen and see when dinner will be ready. Tell them to hurry up."

Jin Chenyuan discovered that of his four personal guards, Qingyun had been sent to investigate Madam Yuan, Haoyun was currently organizing the properties in the mansion, and only Huanyun and Youyun remained, which was not enough.

For now, we have no choice but to let Chuanwu and Huang Zhong take their place.

Upon seeing Jin Chenyuan arrive at the door, Huanyun knew that her master had given her another instruction. So, after Jin Chenyuan finished giving his instructions, Huanyun immediately replied, "Yes, Your subordinate will take care of it right away."

After saying that, seeing Jin Chenyuan wave him away, Huan Yun quickly turned around and hurried out of the courtyard.

Jin Chenyuan returned to the room and sat down next to the ice basin on the other side of the soft couch. He told Yue Li about the things he had done while she was asleep.

"While you were sleeping, I went to the Ministry of Revenue to get your household registration done." As he spoke, he took out a household registration document with Yue Li's name on it from the inner pocket of his wide sleeve.

"So fast?" Yue Li, who was fanning herself while eating pastries on the table, immediately put down her half-eaten pastries upon hearing Jin Chenyuan's words, took the household registration book from Jin Chenyuan's hand, and began to look at it.

Seeing my name on it, my age is 16, and my registered address is Kyoto.

"Wow! You're so fast!" Yue Li, in a good mood after reading it, folded up the household registration book and put it away herself.

Yue Li was truly surprised that Jin Chenyuan was so quick to act, and that he had gotten things done quietly while she was asleep.

Not bad!

This person is someone I can get along with!

Jin Chenyuan: ...

"Doesn't Li Bao know whether I'm fast or not?"

Yue Li: ……

Just as he was putting the household registration certificate into the pouch at his waist, his hand trembled, and he almost dropped the pouch.

She tied the purse back up and hung it on her waist, giving Jin Chenyuan a disdainful look. This guy really didn't appreciate praise; she had just praised him in her mind, and he was already getting cocky. She retorted, "What are you thinking? I was just saying you're quick to get things done."

Jin Chenyuan nodded seriously, "I know what you mean, but how am I fast at doing things? Li Bao, tell me, and I will definitely change next time."

Yue Li: ……

When she first met him, she thought that Brother Chenyuan, who had a calm and gentle personality, had become unrecognizable.

Unable to bear it any longer, Yue Li picked up the half-eaten pastry from the plate and stuffed it into Jin Chenyuan's mouth, gritting her teeth and forcing a smile as she said, "You must be hungry after a busy afternoon, right? Let me feed you some pastry."

Chewing on the sweet pastry, Jin Chenyuan frowned slightly. For someone who didn't like sweets, this pastry was still too sweet.

However, seeing Yue Li across from him gritting her teeth in anger, with her ear tips red, Jin Chenyuan's furrowed brows relaxed.

Instantly, the pastries that Yue Li stuffed into his mouth didn't seem so hard to swallow anymore.

Seeing Jin Chenyuan eating his pastry with a furrowed brow, Yue Li finally felt a little better.

She knew that Jin Chenyuan didn't like sweets.

With her mood improving, Yue Li took another piece of pastry from the plate, looked at Jin Chenyuan, and took a defiant bite.

Seeing Yue Li's actions, Jin Chenyuan raised one eyebrow. Instantly, he felt the pastry in his mouth became even sweeter, so he quickly picked up the tea that had gone cold and rinsed away the sweet taste.

Seeing Jin Chenyuan use tea to soothe the sweetness in his mouth, Yue Li was about to put the half-eaten pastry back into his mouth when several footsteps and Chuan Wu's report came from outside the door.

At this moment, Jin Chenyuan realized that he hadn't told Yue Li about this yet.

He gestured for Yue Li to eat the half-eaten pastry in her hand, then picked up a white handkerchief from the table and wiped the pastry crumbs off her fingers.
