”Shen Qing is the official in charge of the Star Palace, a person who is at the side of the Emperor. From the moment he took over the position of Great Deity Official, Shen Qing had already made up his mind to do so. Last night … Last night, Shen Qing was the one who broke the rules. In the future, such a thing would never happen again. If others were to find out, this would only damage the peace of Grand Xia. Thus, I ask that your Majesty forget about what happened last night. ”
”Shen Qing …”
Mo Hua was very clear of this so-called ”awareness”.
The Great Deity Official, this place filled with incomparable glory and glory, represented an extremely short lifespan.
Suppressing a divine dragon to transform into a dragon vein was, in the end, forcefully changing one's fate. He would suffer the backlash from the Heaven and Earth Order. The existence of the Star Palace was to guard the divine dragon and prevent it from escaping. On the other hand, Great Deity Official used her body as a tool to draw in the dragon soul into her body, obtaining a strong divine power to resist the power of the backlash.
When humans fought against Heavenly Energy, the body as an item would be severely damaged, and it was unknown when it would collapse and die.
He knew all of this, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly on the Mo Qingqing.
In the evening, they finally arrived at Stellar Soup Pool.
Even though it was called a pond, it was actually a manor built on top of a hot spring. It was divided into two layers.
The upper window was covered with muslin, which fluttered in the wind. The next level was a hot spring pool. The steam rising from it made it seem like a paradise.
The style of the building wasn't extravagant, but it was rather special. The tiles were gold-plated and dazzling, and many tools made of gold hung from the cornices. They looked like some kind of magical equipment.
The whole thing gave off a very bright and mysterious feeling. When people saw these buildings, they felt an indescribable yearning in their hearts.
By the time they got off the horses, settled down, and had dinner together, it was already late in the night.
In the Stellar Soup Pool Palace at night, many lampstands were lit up, which were covered by a windproof cover. They were placed in the courtyard, giving the entire palace a kind of hazy beauty.
No wonder this place was called Stellar Soup Pool, it was indeed ”Star Soup”.
Not long after they finished dinner, the chief eunuch was ordered to come ask Ye Qiongjiang to have her first bath on the first night.
”Lady Qiong, the first pond is right in front of us.” The eunuch led the way. ”The emperor has arrived and is waiting for you.”
”Got it.” Ye Qiongjiang nodded expressionlessly.
She wore a dark and plain dress, and Fang Chun, who was behind her, held a new set of clothes in her hands.
Walk through a flowery path, dark green leaves, blooming flowers, gravel paved paths, have a unique sense of leisure.
The sound of water was gradually heard.
A small building appeared in front of them. The building was very special and had many windows, but they didn't have any windows. Instead, they used gauze cages, making it impossible to see what was going on inside the house from the outside.
Outside the door, Qing An was waiting there. When he saw Ye Qiongjiang, he immediately went to greet him and bowed: ”Lady Qiong, the emperor is already waiting for you inside. Please enter.” As he spoke, he personally opened the door.
When the door opened, hot air rushed towards their faces. There was also a door separating them, so it seemed like this was only an outer room. The palace maids stood in a row and were all listening to Hou.
There were a few pieces of dark yellow clothes on the two tables made of yellow and flowery pear wood. It was obvious that the emperor was going to change them later.
Fang Chun then placed the clothes in her hands to the side, and while Ye Qiongjiang was not paying attention, she sneakily took out a thin, transparent, cicada-like star yarn s and mixed it with a pile of clothes, changing its undergarment.
To be able to find another star yarn at such a high end in such a short amount of time, it was truly not easy.
Fang Chun comforted her by patting her chest. Oh Empress, this is all I can do for you.
The two palace maids opened the door to the inner chamber, ”Lady Qiong, please enter.”
Having his outer robes taken off by the palace maids, Flying Immortal Yun Ji had also been put down. Ye Qiongjiang pressed down the collar of his undergarments, and only when he stood at the entrance to the inner room, did he suddenly have a slight sense of panic.
Inside... Was Mo Hua waiting for her?
White misty water vapor curled around him, blurring his vision. Only the sounds of the water could be heard.
The door closed behind him.
Ye Qiongjiang took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions. However, because the water vapor was too strong, he inhaled into her lungs, causing him to cough violently.
”Heh.”
Laughter came from inside, accompanied by the sound of water being stirred, as if the person in the water was standing up and walking towards her.
