Qi Yan walked in, glanced at the fabrics they had brought, and selected a few that she felt would suit Wan Ge.
Qi Yan's action clearly confirmed that he had the people from the Clothing Bureau do it.
Soon the people from the Clothing Bureau left, leaving only Qi Yan and Wan Ge in the room.
Wan Ge poured him a cup of tea, but Qi Yan didn't even glance at the tea. Instead, he reached out and pulled the woman in front of him into his arms.
Qi Yan gently pinched her chin with his fingertips and then kissed her directly.
Wan Ge did not resist and responded to him obediently.
Wan Ge's gesture undoubtedly pleased him, and Qi Yan's mood instantly improved.
…
…
Wan Ge became a couch potato again, but she could clearly feel that Qi Yan was increasingly unable to control his feelings for her.
When Wan Ge moved, she realized the other person hadn't left. When she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Yan's beautiful eyes looking at her.
Qi Yan reached out his hand to her, intending to tidy her hair. But unexpectedly, she leaned in and rubbed her face against his hand.
At this moment, she clearly recognized who she was and did not see him as someone else.
For a moment, Qi Yan felt that the woman in front of him overlapped with the woman he had dreamed about. His heart began to pound even harder.
Unlike when he was dreaming, this was real; he could see and touch it; it happened while he was awake.
Qi Yan couldn't resist kissing her again, but Wan Ge remained obedient.
A moment later, Qi Yan released her and gently called her name: "Wange".
This was probably the first time Qi Yan had called her by her name. It wasn't particularly gentle; perhaps this man hadn't yet learned what gentleness was. But his tone was soft, and coupled with his naturally pleasant voice, it had a strangely alluring quality.
Wan Ge hummed in response, which was her way of replying to him.
Qi Yan embraced the woman beside him; he was certain now that he loved her. Just like his father and mother, he would be loyal to his beloved. He also hoped that Wan Ge could truly love him in return.
Qi Yan was willing to immerse herself in her own beautiful imagination, imagining that the person she liked was herself, and imagining that all her responses were not because of any threat to her position.
Qi Yan never told Wan Ge that he regretted it, regretted treating her that way before they even met. He truly felt he had been awful back then. If he had another chance, he would never do it again.
…
New Year's Eve arrived quickly, and Wan Ge wore the clothes made by the imperial empress and the jewelry he had sent her. She was dressed exactly like an empress.
Ning Lu seemed to realize something and softly asked, "Your Majesty, it seems His Majesty really likes you. Do you like him?"
Ning Lu asked in a very soft voice, because she thought that since it was just the two of them in the room, no one else would hear.
Wan Ge didn't answer, only smiled. Of course she liked him! But she couldn't reveal it now. It wouldn't be a problem to tell Ning Lu, but she also knew that Qi Yan's men were lurking around, and if she responded, their profound inner strength would definitely allow them to hear her clearly.
He hasn't even taken his place as the principal wife yet, so of course we can't let him have his way so quickly. Therefore, Wan Ge chose not to answer.
After finishing her makeup, Wan Ge slowly got up, preparing to do what she needed to do and appear at the banquet with Qi Yan.
