That evening, Minister Wen and his mother thought that since the girl was already their son's, they should let their son arrange his own accommodation. It wouldn't matter if they slept together, and it wouldn't make a difference if they stayed for a couple more days.
So after the meal, Jun Xiaoqiao followed Wen Qiheng to his courtyard.
As soon as Wen Qiheng entered the room, he glared at Jun Xiaoqiao, then closed the door and went to sleep.
He had no interest in dealing with this unconventional woman.
Jun Xiaoqiao was not going to be locked up so easily. As soon as Wen Qiheng went in, she pried open the door bolt without breaking a sweat and then brazenly entered the inner room.
Where will I sleep tonight?
As soon as Jun Xiaoqiao entered, she sat down in front of the bed and asked.
"Please do as you please, young lady. Anyway, it's no use what I say, so why bother asking me?"
Wen Qiheng was angry, so naturally he wouldn't give him a friendly look.
"If you don't arrange a place for me, I'll sleep in your bed tonight."
Jun Xiaoqiao said somewhat angrily.
"Please do as you please. If you can even talk about losing your virginity, then you can certainly do it while lying in my bed. You've already won over my parents, so what more can I say?"
Wen Qiheng has already given up. Since he can't avoid it anyway, he might as well treat this woman like air and make himself more comfortable.
Aren't you afraid I'll do *that* to you?
Jun Xiaoqiao now knows that she has angered the man in front of her, but she doesn't care about his attitude. She, Jun Xiaoqiao, has never let herself suffer when pursuing men.
Hmph! He's arrogant now, but in a month or two, she'll definitely turn him into a lapdog.
"What are you afraid of? You're a woman and you don't feel like you're at a disadvantage, so what's so scary about this?"
Wen Qiheng gave Jun Xiaoqiao a meaningful look, and then changed his clothes in front of her.
Why are you taking off your clothes in front of me?
Seeing him keep taking off his clothes until he was only wearing a pair of underwear, Jun Xiaoqiao couldn't help but cover her eyes, but she left a gap in her hand.
"Girl, you're being pretentious. If you want to look, just look. There's no need to cover your eyes and leave a slit. It just makes you look bad."
Wen Qiheng chuckled lightly, speaking with a ruthless and venomous tongue.
Even if he accepts the truth, he will still get his due revenge. People only know that he is a righteous gentleman, but they don't know that he, like Shen Jinchen, sometimes likes to play pranks.
“You…, my husband is right. Anyway, it’s only a day or two away. Why should I hide it? Besides, everything I said before was a lie. I haven’t really tasted you yet. Why don’t we try it tonight? Anyway, my reputation in your family is already ruined. I might as well make it official.”
When Jun Xiaoqiao saw him acting tough, she was initially a little annoyed, but then she thought that it was bound to happen sooner or later, so why be so coy? Besides, wasn't this the very thing she came for?
She originally planned to save it for flirting with this man on their wedding night.
Now that he thinks this way, why should she endure it?
After saying that, she swayed her waist and slowly approached Wen Qiheng. When Wen Qiheng saw her move, he immediately looked flustered.
He quickly put on his clothes, took two steps at a time, and left the room, heading towards Wen Qiyu's room.
Jun Xiaoqiao smiled slightly as she watched him flee in disarray.
"You little punk! You think you can mess with her? Look at his naive appearance, how can he compare to a woman who has had six boyfriends?"
Jun Xiaoqiao felt that this man would definitely be completely tied down to her from now on.
Inside the palace, Emperor Yanzhao listened to the palace servants' report that the banquet held at the Princess's residence to entertain the Shen family had not taken place, and he was overjoyed.
As expected, the prediction made by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau twenty-one years ago was correct.
Cen Xi is indeed a good tool for suppressing the forces of the previous dynasty and the various vassal kings. As long as she is there, there should still be hope for the grand banquet.
"Is His Majesty very pleased today?"
As soon as Consort Liu entered, she saw Emperor Yan Zhao practicing calligraphy in a leisurely manner, so she made a teasing remark.
"I am in a good mood. According to my investigation, my elder sister now has an army. Although it is not many people, it is definitely worth ten men. Perhaps in the end, the Great Banquet will not lead to the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, and I will not become a sinner for all time."
Emperor Yan Zhao smiled as he picked up his brush.
"If most of the royal guards hadn't disappeared, why would Your Majesty have to compromise like this? Has Your Majesty investigated who did this?"
Consort Liu had always admired Emperor Yanzhao, and her feelings for him were completely pure, because she loved this man.
This is also why Emperor Yan Zhao often kept her by his side, because he needed an admirer.
"I don't know. Only members of the royal family can mobilize those hidden guards. Maybe there's a traitor among the royal family members."
The mere mention of this Emperor Yan Zhao caused his aura to turn extremely cold.
He knew that only the emperor could mobilize those hidden guards, and since he hadn't made a move, it must be because the person who trained these assassins had tampered with things.
Therefore, there must be other members of the Yan family outside the imperial city whom he does not know about.
"If they were our own people, they would have stood up to help us long ago. Now that things are in such chaos, it seems they are going to seize the throne. I wonder if this force can stand up to the previous dynasty."
Consort Liu thought for a moment and concluded that those who could mobilize the royal guards were definitely not there to help them.
Last time it was dangerous, but luckily a princess suddenly appeared.
"Does Your Majesty think the Eldest Princess will clash with the Prime Minister?"
Consort Liu couldn't help but wonder about the ending.
"It should be true. In my opinion, my elder sister's feelings for the Prime Minister are not deep. Besides, I have already given her enough status and power. My beloved consort, do you think it's better for her to be the princess of the Grand Banquet, or to be someone else's empress?"
As Emperor Yan Zhao wrote on the paper, he asked with a smile.
“Princess, your man is just a prince consort, while the empress’s man is the emperor. I believe that with the princess’s personality, she would not want to be subordinate to anyone, even if she is husband and wife.”
Consort Liu and Cen Xi spent a month together in the palace, so Consort Liu could naturally see Cen Xi's pursuit.
Her goal is definitely not the inner palace. As long as they give her enough support, she may still have a chance to turn things around.
It wasn't that Cen Xi was particularly strong; it was mainly because the man beside her could no longer abandon her.
"My dear consort, you see things clearly. Even if Prime Minister Shen is unparalleled throughout history, I'm afraid he never imagined that he would be tied down by a woman. You should communicate more with your elder sister in the future."
Emperor Yan Zhao was naturally very satisfied with this result. It was worth it for him, an emperor, to have humbled himself and begged her so much back then.
"It's getting dark. Your Highness, I'll have dinner with you."
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Consort Liu made a suggestion.
"Okay, let's go inside."
Emperor Yan Zhao put down his brush, signaled to the eunuch to put away his calligraphy, and then he and Consort Liu gracefully entered the inner room.
Cen Xi had been depressed for the past two days, and no one knew why. She just couldn't muster any enthusiasm. Qingyi was about to suggest going out for a walk when the steward delivered an invitation.
