Chapter 479
Seeing that he was about to put on a stern and old-fashioned act again, Wen Xin felt an itch to tease him and wanted to make him lose his composure completely.
"I am the emperor, and what I say goes."
The regent choked, looking at her helplessly, "Your Majesty!"
The young empress innocently spread her hands, "Your Highness, we are all women, what are you worried about?"
The Regent: "..." What woman? He's not her! He's not her!
Men and women shouldn't touch each other... If she weren't so young, and if he weren't a heartless beast, he wouldn't care about any of that nonsense; he just wanted her to know immediately whether she was a woman or not!
Wen Xin, recklessly continuing to feign ignorance, said, "Why is Your Highness shy? Besides, I'm still a child, what's there to be afraid of?"
Regent: "..."
Under the smiling gaze of the young empress, he sighed helplessly yet indulgently, "Your Majesty, I admit defeat. Please forgive me?"
The girl pouted, "I didn't do anything to Your Highness."
Regent: "Yes, it's all my fault."
Wen Xin: "..."
Your Highness, being so gentle is against the rules!
But is Wen Xin someone who knows when to quit while she's ahead?
Pushing one's luck further is in line with the emperor's persona!
She suddenly spread her arms wide. "If Your Highness won't bathe with me, then can't you at least help me change my clothes?"
The Regent: "!!!"
"Your Highness?"
Hehe~ See if I can still flirt with you!
The Regent remained silent for a few moments, his phoenix eyes fixed intently on the girl, his tone ambiguous, "Does Your Majesty truly wish for me to help you change your clothes?"
Wen Xin's heart skipped a beat, but she couldn't lose face. "I am the Empress, how can I say no?"
"right!"
"good."
"..."
Your Highness Regent, why aren't you following the script?
At this moment, shouldn't you be outwardly stern but inwardly shy, lecturing me?
What happened to your reserved persona?
Seeing the young empress's expression stiffen slightly, the regent's eyes lit up with a smile. Just as he was thinking of giving the young empress a way out, he saw her grit her teeth and raise her chin with an imperial air of two meters high, "Your Highness, come, take it off."
Regent: "..."
Now, His Highness is truly in a difficult situation.
But if the little girl isn't afraid, how can he back down?
The Regent took a deep breath, his arm stiffly rising as he removed her outer garment. Then, he untied the belt around her waist, and the magnificent brocade skirt bloomed like a flower, revealing her delicate and beautiful body that he longed for.
The girl was only wearing a bright green blouse embroidered with twin lotus flowers. Her skin was as white as snow, radiating a lustrous glow under the palace lanterns. Her shoulders were rounded, her collarbones were delicate, and her breasts were beginning to show curves. Her waist was slender as a willow, and her two beautiful legs were straight and long.
Every part of her was breathtakingly beautiful, easily captivating his heartstrings. Even knowing it was impossible, he couldn't resist falling for her, becoming infatuated with her like a madman.
Under his ardent gaze, the girl's delicate, slightly immature face flushed red, her almond-shaped eyes brimming with tears, bold and passionate yet tinged with a hint of shyness.
Her feelings were always straightforward and honest, which made his heart burn with desire, and he just wanted to possess her madly...
The Regent averted his gaze with difficulty, his Adam's apple bobbing. He cursed himself for being a beast; the young princess was not even of marriageable age yet, how could he possibly...
If he weren't afraid of startling her, he would have slapped himself a few times.
"Your Highness?"
The little empress's voice was sweet and soft, like honey.
The regent bit his lip hard, the pain and the taste of blood bringing him back to his senses. He quickly withdrew his hand from above her shoulder, clenched his fists, and lowered his eyes to hide his loss of composure.
"Your Majesty, please take a bath first, lest you catch a cold. I shall take my leave now."
Wen Xin suddenly grabbed his hand, feeling the heat of his palm. Her lips curled up in a wide smile. "Your Highness is also wet. Remember to take a hot bath."
She drawled, "No cold water allowed."
Regent: "………………"
Before he could react, Wen Xin waved her little paw, "Your Highness, please leave."
The regent's mind was in complete disarray, and he was unable to comprehend the meaning behind her words. He practically fled in panic.
Wen Xin burst out laughing.
This is a matriarchal world, and I am the Empress. How could she possibly lose when it comes to flirting?
But oh my god, His Highness the Regent looks so cute when he's shy!
This majestic, handsome, and domineering regent is absolutely loyal and devoted to her. Even someone as cold and aloof as him only shows emotional fluctuations, hesitation, restraint, gentleness, and shyness when he is with her...
Wen Xin clutched her heart. This regent was so captivating, and he still wanted to run away?
No way!
He belongs to me! He belongs to me!
Xiao Jin: "...So, Master, you were just acting when you were in the rain just now?"
Wen Xin retorted, "I am truly heartbroken."
Little Jin doesn't believe a damn thing; his master is just deliberately using tricks to torment the Regent.
Wen Xin rolled her eyes. "What else can we do? Let him keep running away, and then we'll have a love affair that's on-again, off-again, both emotionally and physically torturous?"
Impossible, absolutely impossible. If a relationship can't be sweet, I'd rather stay single for a hundred years.
Xiao Jin was speechless; his master was spouting nonsense again.
Besides, what sweetness? Look how much the Regent just tortured his body and soul.
Wen Xin said in a serious tone: A little bit of angst is good for the relationship, so that things can be even sweeter after making up.
Moreover, she was just using the rain to put on a resolute act. If I really wanted to be ruthless, I should have issued an edict on the spot to select concubines and create a harem, vying for his attention with women on both sides.
Therefore, I am still very kind and protective of His Highness the Regent!
Yes, I am that affectionate and devoted.
Little Jin, haha, your shamelessness is truly admirable.
Besides, isn't it because you're not old enough for a talent show that you're not being so pretentious?
Wen Xin: "..."
Xiao Jin: "..."
So, Master, did you really have such a depraved idea?
I deeply sympathize with His Highness the Regent. What sins did he commit to be so hopelessly in love with his master?
Wen Xin's red lips twitched, and she directly pushed that stupid butterfly, who had been courting death for a thousand years, into the bathwater.
What terrible things did she do to deserve such a companion butterfly that's so good at driving its owner crazy?
"Gurgle...gurgle...Master, I was wrong...gurgle..."
Xiao Jin struggled and begged for mercy in terror, but it was no use!
Red Rope calmly watched as some fool sank to the bottom of the bathtub, as if on a dog's leash. He twisted and turned, then darted to the bottom to see if he could retrieve the "corpse" and enjoy a delicious meal.
Little Jin, on his deathbed, suddenly sat up and flapped his wing: "You dog leash, get out of here!"
Red Rope sighed: I didn't get to eat it again. Oh well, it'll come back next time.
Xiao Jin: "..."
Chrysanthemums wither, wounds cover the ground... Bah! Little cabbage, yellow in the field, two or three years old, the owner doesn't love it!
