Everyone was waiting for the esteemed Empress to speak.
Even though the male concubines felt ashamed of flattering Qingzhi Gongzi, they were all curious about his appearance.
In front of the Queen, he invited her to unveil herself.
...If the Empress takes a liking to Prince Qingzhi.
The emperor and empress would be furious or leave heartbroken, and their relationship would be destroyed.
The longer the Empress remained silent, the more flustered and helpless Qingzhi felt.
My heart was pounding.
The Empress held the jade cup with her slender, fair fingers, swirling it casually as she spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Look at your face?"
The woman's clear and melodious voice, tinged with a hint of intoxication, was like a seductive cat's paw, gently scratching at one's heart.
Qingzhi Gongzi's heart pounded even harder, and his face flushed beneath the veil.
Popular legend has it that the empress was dissolute, lewd, and unable to resist handsome men.
But seeing him today, he doesn't seem to be as bad as the rumors say.
Like dazzling pearls, they inspire love and admiration. Compared to being the husband of noble ladies, the empress's male favorites seem to enjoy more wealth and luxury.
Of course, he wasn't interested in the magnificent palace.
If the wife were not a lewd and depraved woman, but rather the most noble empress, he would be willing.
Suppressing his wildly beating heart, Qingzhi said, "If it is Your Majesty, Qingzhi is naturally willing..."
"No need." The Empress's voice was decisive and crisp.
The three words were like the sharpest carving knife, instantly leaving a bloody mark on Qingzhi's heart.
Ouyang Ziming's pupils contracted slightly, surprised that Qingzhi would actually fail.
The empress, who once had a penchant for collecting handsome men, surprisingly rejected Qingzhi Gongzi's 'flattery'.
If word got out, no one would believe it.
However, the Empress did indeed reject Qingzhi Gongzi's request, showing no interest whatsoever.
A noblewoman would surely beat her chest and lament, "What a waste! Such an unromantic woman!"
There was not a trace of curiosity about Qingzhi Gongzi's appearance in the Empress's eyes, and it did not seem like a pretentious act of feigning reluctance.
Young Master Qingzhi was completely stunned.
"His Majesty……"
He was actually rejected.
The noble ladies of Kyoto fawned over him, wishing they could kneel down and lick his feet.
Now he is willing to unveil himself but is refused.
For some reason, a sense of pleasure welled up in Jiang Linxian's heart, and her thin, crimson lips curved slightly.
The Queen refused decisively, whether sincerely or not.
At least, he saved face at the banquet.
Fu Sang waved his hand lazily and said, "Go down."
Attendants came and removed Qingzhi Gongzi's belongings.
Fu Sang then looked at Ouyang Ziming, his tone tinged with coldness, and said, "Young Master Ouyang, not just anyone can enter my palace. Those who are not presentable should not be brought in again next time."
Ouyang Ziming's face turned pale and then red as she was rebuked.
At this moment.
Young Master Qingzhi rushed forward, ripped off her veil, and revealed a beautiful face.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, a clear, crisp voice interrupted him.
"Guards, take him away."
The guards rushed over, gagged Qingzhi, and roughly took him away.
The male concubines simply treated it as a good show.
Fu Sang straightened his expression and said, "There is only one purpose for holding this banquet tonight."
Everyone looked at the beautiful empress.
Fu Sang's exquisitely beautiful face remained calm, yet exuded an irresistible majesty as he said, "Without rules, there can be no order."
