"Mistress, we just entered the palace and you already made such a name for yourself. Could it be that someone is jealous of you and wants to kill you in the dark?"

Liu Ruyan laughed and only comforted her by saying that she did not need to worry. After bathing, she would change into a thin peach blossom dress that was as thin as a cicada's wing.

Just as he stood up in front of the dressing mirror, he heard Lian Chengming's low and deep voice approaching him. "How does it feel to be our arrogant and domineering favored consort?"

Liu Ruyan didn't turn back as she lightly said, "Nothing."

It was as if the person in front of him wasn't a Ninth Paragon, but an extremely ordinary friend.

Looking at the relaxed Liu Ruyan, Lian Chengming felt quite interesting. This little girl was indeed different from the other girls.

"Seems like we don't favor you enough. Or else, the beloved consort should be filled with fear and trepidation towards us."

Liu Ruyan saw through the obvious in his words and blushed.

How could she not have heard of it before? Even the cold Lian Chengming had the side of a prodigal son.

However, thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising for someone who disguised himself as a guest at the Smoke Flower Region to say some random words.

"Your majesty is indeed not good enough to pamper chenqie. King Xiajie for the sisters tore off the silk; King Zhou for Daji Star Seizer Tower; King Yinyou for Bao Si smiled, a beacon of war for the dukes. Then the emperor … What are you willing to do for chenqie? "

Liu Ruyan did it on purpose. With so many female servant s by her side, no one knew who would be the loyal villain behind the scenes. Hence, they could only continue acting.

She was domineering and overbearing, this was what she should look like.

Lian Chengming suddenly laughed softly, causing all the female servant s to quickly lower their heads. The Concubine Hui dared to be so bold, comparing the Emperor with the kings of a dead nation, scaring them to the point that their hearts were all palpitating with fear.

But what was even more surprising was that the emperor didn't seem to be angry at all. He didn't seem to be angry at all.

This Concubine Hui, who exactly was she?

"All of you can leave first. My beloved consort and I … "I have something to discuss with you."

The last four words were extremely ambiguous.

"We will take our leave!"

The maidservant s all retreated and closed the door.

"Since beloved consort feels that I am not doting enough, then, I will doting you properly tonight. "Give me some loose clothes and help me bathe."

Lian Chengming looked at Liu Ruyan playfully. He really wanted to see how long this girl could last.

"Huang …" Your Majesty, chenqie obeys. "

Liu Ruyan never thought that Lian Chengming would say such a thing. After a moment of panic, she calmed down.

When she chose this path, she already had no way out. There was no need to be hypocritical.

"Your majesty, please open your arms." Liu Ruyan said with a red face.

Her bashful expression made Lian Chengming's heart itch. However, he'd never been an impatient person, so this bit of endurance was quite acceptable.

Liu Ruyan felt that even her hands were trembling, this was the first time in her previous life that she was helping a man bathe.

The man in front of her was her future husband, and also her partner. Each side would be prosperous, and each side would suffer losses.

"beloved consort can't wait any longer? Is this dilly-dallying really expressing dissatisfaction to me? "

"No …" "Chenqie didn't mean that."

Liu Ruyan anxiously explained, but words felt unnecessary, this man clearly wanted to make her a joke.

He made up his mind and closed his eyes, treating the person in front of him like a cabbage. This way, his men's movements would be much more nimble.

"Your Majesty, it's done." Liu Ruyan lowered her eyebrows, she did not dare look straight at the man in front of him.

After bathing, Lian Chengming stood up from the water and strode to the screen to pull off his clothes and put on his clothes. He turned his head and suddenly bent down to pick up Liu Ruyan, and his movements were completed in one go.

He lowered his head. The hot air that he exhaled was tickling her ears.

Liu Ruyan simply closed her eyes and did not speak, she hid her face in front of his chest, showing the bashfulness of a little girl.

"Is beloved consort ready?" Lian Chengming did not reveal it on the outside, but his expression was relaxed.

Liu Ruyan softly replied, her voice was extremely soft, to the point where she was almost unable to hear herself.

Inside Consort Lee's palace, the atmosphere was so heavy that it was suffocating. All of the eunuchs and eunuchs there lowered their heads cautiously, not daring to speak.

"What did you just say? "Say it again for me!"

Honglan and Lvzhu were the personal maids of the Consort Lee, and had served her ever since they were young. Afterwards, they were both brought into the palace, where they were respectable first-rate female servant.

But no matter how bright or beautiful they were in front of the servants, a single word from their masters could decide their life and death.

"Slave …" This servant has just … I got the news. Tonight, the Emperor went to Concubine Hui's palace. One... "He never came out."

Lvzhu's eyes were filled with fear. When she spoke, he was trembling with fear, she did not even know how to speak smoothly.

Tonight, the Consort Lee asked Lvzhu to invite Lian Chengming to his palace for a meal. In the end, they had heard rumors along the way that the Concubine Hui was the emperor's most beloved person.

He also said that in time, the Concubine Hui would definitely have a higher position than her, and might even become a queen.

Consort Lee had followed Lian Chengming for so many years, and had long been infatuated with him. How could she possibly allow the new Fang Yi to challenge his position?

The Consort Lee was burning with anger. Even though the flower vases and tea set were scattered all over the ground, she was still unable to alleviate the anger in her heart.

Honglan knelt at the side, not daring to make a sound, luckily she was not here in the evening and had avoided the chores, if not she would be the one to be punished by Consort Lee.
