Chapter 145 The Divorced Heiress of a Noble Family—Late Night

Three days later, Yaoyao was brought into the palace, and by then, the Empress had already held a series of banquets in the palace to confer the title of Imperial Concubine.

Even with numerous grievances, the Empress had to grit her teeth and prepare diligently.

On the very day the imperial decree was issued, the emperor came to the empress's palace and personally instructed her to make the investiture ceremony a grand affair.

The Empress could only grit her teeth and agree, her heart filled with even more hatred for Su Yaoyao.

Then, she also took her anger out on her niece and the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have had to face such a big problem!

The banquet for the imperial concubine's investiture was exceptionally grand, and the emperor bestowed many rare treasures upon her, sending them to Chenxi Palace, making all the other concubines in the harem extremely envious.

After the banquet ended, as the concubines rose to take their leave, Xiao Heng spoke up: "Consort Chen, wait a moment, I will return with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Empress felt as if she had been publicly humiliated, filled with disbelief. She had thought that the Emperor would leave with her and go to Chenxi Palace at bedtime, but the Emperor's actions were beyond her expectations.

Yao Yao stood up, smiled at the Emperor, and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, I obey your decree."

The surrounding concubines, though furious, could only grit their teeth and leave.

Xiao Heng turned to look at the Empress and said, "Your Majesty has worked hard today. Consort Chen and I will take our leave first."

The Empress dared not lose her temper with the Emperor. She could only force a smile and say, "Your Majesty is too kind. This is what I should do."

Xiao Heng nodded, said nothing more, and walked away.

"Your Majesty, I take my leave." Yao Yao bowed to the Empress and took her leave.

As she rose, Yao Yao smiled at the Empress. Her stunning beauty, coupled with her radiant smile, was striking. The Empress's gaze towards Su Yao Yao was sharp and undisguised; in the Empress's heart, Su Yao Yao posed a significant threat.

At this moment, the smile on Su Yaoyao's face seemed more like a provocation to the Empress!

Watching Su Yaoyao follow the emperor away, the empress's face grew increasingly gloomy. A faint smile appeared on her lips, and her eyes were full of calculation.

Chenxi Palace was some distance away from here. The Emperor's palanquin was right at the entrance. Xiao Heng suddenly stopped, and Yao Yao, unable to stop in time, bumped her head directly into his back.

"Your Majesty~" Yao Yao touched her forehead with her hand, her little mouth pouting as she called out to him, her voice so delicate as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Xiao Heng turned around with a smile, put his arms around her waist, and said affectionately, "I was wrong. I'll take you in a sedan chair to make up for my mistake, okay?"

Chen Bao and the palace servants beside him immediately lowered their heads, pretending that they could not hear or see anything. He could only sigh in his heart that his noble, aloof, and woman-averse emperor had completely disappeared!

"No, you have to rub it for it to feel better!" Yao Yao tilted her little face up, gently shook her head, and said sweetly.

"Okay." Xiao Heng showed no airs of an emperor in front of her. He gently rubbed her small nose, and the two smiled at each other.

The Empress, standing far to the side, witnessed this scene of the two lovers flirting and teasing each other.

The palace maid who reached out to support the Empress felt a sharp pain in her arm, but she dared not resist in the slightest and could only grit her teeth and endure her mistress's rage.

The night was hazy, but the vast Chenxi Palace was brightly lit.

Inside the room, the two kissed passionately, reluctant to part.

This time, Xiao Heng's large hands were no longer restrained. Not only did his lips continue their movements, but his hands also moved swiftly, stripping Yao Yao down to only her undergarments.

"Ah~ Your Majesty, let me help you~ undress."

As Yao Yao spoke, she dodged the man's kiss.

One hides, the other chases—it's quite a scene.

Xiao Heng's voice was hoarse: "Alright, help me undress."

Xiao Heng stopped bothering her, stood upright by the bed, suppressing his anger, and watched the woman's every move.

Yao Yao felt the passionate gaze above her head, her face flushed, and she suppressed her shyness as she hurriedly untied his belt.

The belt seemed to be working against her; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't untie it. Frustrated, Yao Yao tugged at it forcefully, muttering under her breath:

"What a lousy belt! I can't undo it!"

Xiao Heng listened to her complaints and laughed: "So my beloved consort is in such a hurry. It is my fault."

Hearing the Emperor misinterpret her meaning, Yao Yao boldly glared at the man above her and said angrily:

"Hmph! Solve it yourself!"

After saying that, Yao Yao simply shook her head and refused to continue. With a graceful twist of her body, she turned her back to Xiao Heng and lay down on the big bed.

Thin, close-fitting clothing can hardly conceal a woman's alluring and beautiful figure, and the side-lying position reveals her slender curves in full.

Xiao Heng stared intently at the woman's retreating figure, not at all angered by her words, but rather his desire to conquer her only intensified.

Although his clothes were dressed by palace maids, Xiao Heng was not completely ignorant of the art. With a skillful move, he untied the wide belt around his waist and then quickly and methodically took off his clothes.

When only her nightgown remained, Xiao Heng strode to the bedside, gently turned Yao Yao's body around, and the two looked directly at each other.

Yao Yao couldn't help but laugh, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and her alluring voice rang out: "Who's getting impatient?"

Xiao Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Little vixen, I was impatient. Are you satisfied now?"

"Your Majesty~ Yes~" Yao Yao was of course satisfied. She wrapped her arms around the man's neck above her, raised her head slightly, and offered her rosy lips.

Xiao Heng covered it without hesitation; he had never imagined he would be so eager one day.

Their lips met, and the two once again became completely absorbed in this wonderful journey.

The candlelight flickered, the bed curtains trembled faster and faster, and seductive sounds rose and fell.

From the very first classic moves to the emergence of a new style, the two of them tirelessly tried new things.

Xiao Heng was full of boundless energy. He felt that he and Yao Yao were a match made in heaven, and that they were so perfectly compatible!

Sweat streamed down their muscular chests, dripping onto their soft, tender skin. The sweat mingled, and the two grew ever closer.

Their bronze skin and snow-white skin complemented each other so perfectly and harmoniously.

"Yaoyao, sweetie, let's do it one more time, okay?"

"Ah~ But I'm so tired~ I have to get up early tomorrow to pay my respects!"

"You don't need to go tomorrow."

"real?"

"Um."

"Ah... Your Majesty! It tickles so much... Haha... No... Don't bite!"

The sound of rushing water echoed again and again; this night seemed to have no end.

Chen Bao was numb. He bowed his head respectfully and awaited the emperor's orders, not daring to look around. He only wanted to leave as soon as possible after delivering the water.

Chen Bao lost count of how many times this had happened tonight; he felt that the emperor, in his prime, was even more energetic than when he was young!

In the past, when he was on night watch, he never needed to stay awake until dawn!
