”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.
