The pastries in the food box had also been prepared in advance.

Qiu Gu had someone carry her along, and then accompanied Ah Li to the Imperial Garden.

A eunuch just delivered a message saying that the emperor is currently admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden.

When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, Ah Li saw a person wearing a bright yellow dragon robe talking to several women dressed in palace attire.

"It seems someone has already gotten there first."

Ah Li sighed softly, and taking advantage of the fact that they hadn't been discovered by the emperor yet, she said to Qiu Gu, "Let's not go any further, let's go back."

This was an emperor, an emperor who had given the original owner poisoned wine, and he even possessed the aura of a true dragon.

Ah Li felt it was best to keep a respectful distance. He would send pastries or soup occasionally, without having to personally deliver them.

But now that she's asked to do it herself, Ahri is scared.

The emperor before them was the chosen one, possessing great fortune, which was like a giant dragon soaring through the heavens.

Furthermore, the dragon aura emanating from the emperor was as brilliant and dazzling as the golden light of dawn.

This dragon aura not only symbolizes the supreme power of the emperor, but also signifies auspiciousness and peace for the country.

Under the emperor's protection, the people lived in peace and prosperity, and the country flourished.

Ahri was also tempted. If she had babies with someone like that, it would be a waste if she didn't have at least ten or eight!

However, it is also very dangerous.

As the saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.

The original owner's final fate was to be given poisoned wine by this emperor.

For the sake of her own life, Ahri decided it was best not to covet the dragon aura emanating from the emperor!

Therefore, Ah Li quickly led Qiu Gu back the way they came.

However, after Ah Li left, Emperor Yuwen Zheng turned around and asked, "Who was that just now?"

The chief eunuch beside Yuwen Zheng glanced in the direction Ah Li had left, then whispered, "Your Majesty, it was the Imperial Concubine."

"She's here too? How many people have you sold my information to?"

The head eunuch knelt down in fear and trepidation, and the eunuchs behind him followed suit, all shouting in unison, "Your Majesty, we dare not!"

Yuwen Zheng glanced at the concubines standing timidly to the side, speaking in a high-pitched voice, gave a soft snort, and walked in the direction Ah Li had just left.

Along the way, he encountered countless concubines from the imperial harem.

When the concubines saw him, they all wanted to present their best selves to him. They would either compose poems or chase after so-called butterflies, and in the process, they almost bumped into him.

Then, unaware that he had arrived, he apologized.

It's so boring.

This imperial concubine is strange; she left as soon as she arrived, and she left very quickly.

Yuwen Zheng wanted to see what kind of medicine was inside the Concubine's Gourd.

When Ah Li returned to Yongning Palace, she felt drenched in sweat. She asked Qiu Gu to have someone prepare a flower petal bath for her.

When Yuwen Zheng arrived, Qiu Gu was overjoyed, as this was the first time the Emperor had visited Yongning Palace.

Just as Qiu Gu was about to kowtow, Yuwen Zheng stopped her and went straight into the back hall.

Qiu Gu covered her mouth. The Emperor had finally arrived. She would help the Empress fulfill her long-cherished wish.

Qiu Gu entered the hall and lit the acacia incense.

The fragrance of mimosa was ubiquitous in the palace.

The chief eunuch did not stop it; if the emperor was unwilling, he could simply summon the imperial physician to give him a couple of acupuncture treatments.

Ah Li was unaware that Yuwen Zheng was acting unpredictably and had followed her back.

Ahri doesn't want anyone to watch over her so she can take a relaxing petal bath.

She can scoop water for herself and then play with the flower petals in her hand.

These days are so comfortable!

Ahri hummed comfortably, and then she saw someone lift the curtain and walk towards her.

Sensing the powerful dragon aura emanating from that person, Ahri thought, "That's it, my legs are weak too."

Yuwen Zheng had no idea that he would see a beautiful woman bathing as soon as he entered.

Ah Li covered her chest with a handkerchief, lowered her body into the water, and said, "Your Majesty, I did not know that Your Majesty had come. I have been impolite."

Yuwen Zheng smiled and walked closer to Ah Li, even reaching into the water to pick up a flower petal, saying, "Will washing with this make the Imperial Concubine smell of flowers too?"

Ahri said she had no idea. She washes like this every day and doesn't know if the floral scent is on her!

But Ah Li quickly replied, "I don't know. I just saw that the flowers were blooming beautifully, so I had some picked and dried to use for bathing."

Seeing that Ah Li's face was flushed and her body was faintly visible underwater, Yuwen Zheng lowered his body and approached her. "So what were you doing in the Imperial Garden just now?"

Ahri hesitated for a moment between telling the truth and not telling the truth, but in the end, she decided to tell the truth.

"Your Majesty, I wanted to see you, but I saw that you were chatting happily with your sisters, so I returned."

At this moment, Yuwen Zheng thought the man smelled quite nice. He really should find a concubine and have an heir as soon as possible so he could establish an heir. Then he could become the retired emperor sooner and live a leisurely life.

Ah Li thought that after hearing these jealous words, this person would probably leave.

Otherwise, when the water gets cold, will she get up or not?

Little did anyone know, Yuwen Zheng reached out and pulled Ah Li out of the water. Ignoring the fact that Ah Li was still wet, he carried her to a soft couch on the side.

"Wait, Your Majesty..."

Ah Li felt that she couldn't cover anywhere else now, and could only think about covering Yuwen Zheng's eyes.
