On a rainy night, malevolent lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the imperial palace and making people anxious.

The court ladies hurried along the long corridor towards the queen's chamber.

Today was a big day!

The king had been married to Empress Hu for a month, and was finally going to perform the ceremony of a husband and wife.

One happy, one worried.

When the empress heard the news that day, she was rewarded with six palaces. Imperial Concubine Xue, who had been favored by the emperor for two years, was angered to the point of smashing the blood coral offered by the smaller countries to bits.

Qin Shuo, dressed in a long green dragon robe, pushed aside the curtains and walked towards the bed.

The beautiful person on the bed had her eyes tightly shut. Although she didn't put on makeup, her complexion was like a spring flower, and her skin was like cream. Each of her eyelashes slightly trembled, causing others to feel tender affection towards her. She was extremely beautiful, worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in the Southern Yue.

The woman's aura was long and stable, causing the young king of the Eastern Courtyard to be stunned.

He actually slept?

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and Qin Shuo stretched out his hand to wake Hu Xiao up. No one in the harem had dared to be so bold as her.

Halfway through, Qin Shuo suddenly stopped.

A complex expression appeared in Mo Hei's eyes, and after a while, it turned into a sigh.

Forget it, he didn't need this woman to wake up.

The gift of a husband and wife was nothing more than the establishment of a stronger alliance between the two countries. He needed a laughing child.

Raising the covers, to Qin Shuo, the women in the harem were merely tools for him to stabilize his social welfare. There was no need for formalities or emotions in this matter.

The woman had wanted to cut him some slack, but as soon as she untied her undergarment from which she had been laughing, the sleeping woman abruptly opened her eyes.
