"Actually, from the beginning, I wasn't particularly willing to be this empress..."
So, Murong Xi began to tell Jing Zhe in a low voice.
Because of the tradition of the Yueyao Kingdom, the previous Holy Maiden would give birth to many children, and Murong Xi was one of them.
From the very beginning, she had no intention of vying for the throne. When she was in court, she only thought about how to improve the lives of the people and always spoke up for them.
As for the empress, she never thought about it, and from the bottom of her heart, she disliked that kind of life of being bound, and preferred the carefree life she had as a princess.
But life is sometimes full of drama.
Because of her lack of ambition and her kindness to the people of Yueyao, she gained a lot of points in the eyes of the old Yueyao empress. Therefore, the old empress overruled the objections and promoted her to the new empress.
Because of this, her sisters had many complaints and repeatedly caused her trouble after she ascended the throne. So much so that when she proposed uniting with Anguo to fight against Xijiang, they all opposed it.
Therefore, Murong Xi had no choice but to come to Anguo for a marriage alliance. If she did not receive help from Anguo, her fate upon returning to Yueyao Kingdom would be predictable.
However, now that she has become empress, she no longer has the resistance she had at the beginning. Now, all she wants is to help Yueyao Kingdom gain years of peace and time to develop.
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe's eyes lit up.
The biggest obstacle between him and Murong Xi was her status as empress. But it turns out that she didn't want to be empress herself, which makes things much easier!
After Murong Xi finished her rambling, she also talked about her childhood in the palace. She expressed how much she hated that kind of scheming and intrigue, but she never imagined that one day she would become the core of such scheming and intrigue.
After she finished speaking, she suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking at Jing Zhe, there was no longer that arrogance, resentment, or aloofness from before. It was as if he had finally released the repression and constraints in his heart and returned to normal.
“I have never told these things to anyone.”
"And early summer?"
“Chu Xia has been by my side since she was little. She has experienced these things just like me, so I don’t need to tell her, and I can’t tell her.”
Murong Xi shook her head with a wry smile, but also with some relief: "Now that I've finally let out all the things I've kept in my heart for so many years, I suddenly feel so much lighter!"
Jing Zhe didn't disturb him, and nodded with a smile.
Then Murong Xi looked over again, her eyes appearing bright and captivating against the backdrop of the white snow.
"You asked me if I'm willing? If I say yes, what will you—"
Before she could finish speaking, she could no longer say anything.
Because after she spoke, Jing Zhe reached out to her slender and soft waist, and with a little force, Murong Xi pressed against his body. The next moment, Jing Zhe cupped Murong Xi's small face and kissed her exceptionally alluring cherry lips.
Her open mouth was blocked by Jing Zhe, which also blocked the words stuck in Murong Xi's throat, preventing her from speaking.
Because she opened her mouth, after Jing Zhe kissed her... However, Murong Xi was perfectly sober at the moment and pushed him away.
Panting heavily, he said with displeasure, "I'm asking you a question, what are you doing? Being so indecent?"
It's understandable that Murong Xi was unhappy that Jing Zhe suddenly interrupted such a serious topic.
"You asked me a question, and I'm answering it!"
Are you answering?
Murong Xi looked completely bewildered.
"yes!"
Jing Zhe smiled and said, "You're asking me what I would do if you were willing, right?"
Murong Xi nodded.
So…
Jing Zhe said something, then stepped forward again and kissed Murong Xi once more under her gaze. This time, however, he was much gentler than before, his hand gently stroking Murong Xi's smooth, flat back. Everything seemed tender and romantic.
This time, Murong Xi understood.
When he said "I do," Jing Zhe was telling himself his attitude in this intimate way.
At this moment, Murong Xi felt a mix of emotions.
She had felt inferior, angry, and resentful before. She was clearly not lacking in anything, so why was she repeatedly rejected by someone she had feelings for?
Now she finally understood that he wasn't indifferent to her, but rather afraid of the Empress's status.
At that moment, she burst into tears of joy and no longer resisted, responding to Jing Zhe in her own way.
Having been pushed away by Murong Xi earlier, Jing Zhe kissed her cautiously this time, trying to give her a comforting kiss in the gentlest way possible. Therefore, he was reluctant to use force when kissing her, and naturally, it was not the same as before.
Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, Murong Xi suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, pressed herself tightly against him, and responded passionately with her lips.
Although Murong Xi was still a naive young woman, she had already had several kissing experiences, so she knew how to make the man in front of her feel good. What made her blush was that she also knew that it wasn't just him who felt good...
With Murong Xi's enthusiastic response, his hands naturally wouldn't stay still any longer, but would wander and slide towards Murong Xi's front...
Murong Xi finally regained a sliver of reason and, with all her might, pushed Jing Zhe away.
Then, panting heavily, her eyes were filled with seductive allure.
Seeing the confusion in Jing Zhe's eyes, Murong Xi glared at him: "I'm just asking you what you would do if I were willing. But I haven't said whether I'm willing or not yet!"
So, are you willing or not?
"this…"
Murong Xi thought for a moment and said, "It's too early to say whether I'm willing or not! Although I don't want to be the empress, I am already in this position, and I have to think about things from the perspective of a ruler of a country! If I suddenly stop being the empress now, what will happen to the cooperation with An Kingdom? And how will we deal with the threat from Xijiang Kingdom?"
Jing Zhe pursed his lips: "These are all very simple! As long as the cooperation is on track, no matter who becomes empress, these things will proceed step by step."
That's what they say...
Murong Xi glanced at him and said, "But we can only draw conclusions after we return to Yueyao Kingdom! There has never been a case of an empress changing her throne before in the history of Yueyao Kingdom... Besides, if I really stop being empress, will you support me?"
"..."
