Liu Jue, however, was not at all restrained. He embraced Jiang Tian and indulged in passion on his dragon bed. The two went back and forth for several hours until it got dark, when he finally took Jiang Tian to the bath to wash up.
As he helped Jiang Tian dry her hair, he sighed, "I really don't know what those people who say they can be romantic even as ghosts are thinking. This thing may be intoxicating, but it's also really tiring."
Jiang Tian had been hunting since childhood, but he was no match for Liu Jue, who came from a military background.
He's fine when he's not involved, but once he gets involved, it never ends.
Jiang Tian, who was already nestled in his arms and so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, rolled her eyes at his sigh. She tried to speak, but found her throat was sore and hoarse that she couldn't utter a single word.
Liu Jue quickly fed her water: "Qingqing is tired, so speak less and rest more."
Jiang Tian smiled at him and said, "Your Majesty is tired too. Let's skip this kind of thing in the future."
Liu Jue wasn't annoyed by her words. He dried her hair, kissed her cheek, and said with a smile, "I'm in good health and I'm not afraid of getting tired."
By the time the two had eaten and rested, it was already dark.
Liu Jue didn't sleep. He held Jiang Tian and whispered, "Am I your lover now?"
Jiang Tian slept for a while and felt better. She replied, "Yes."
Liu Jue was still muttering to himself, "I just thought you were interesting and wanted to see what you were busy with all day. How did I become so obsessed that I revealed my virginity to you?"
Jiang Tian finally opened her eyes, reached out and pinched Liu Jue's chin, looking him up and down: "Anyway, I won't suffer any losses."
Liu Jue couldn't help but hug her even tighter: "You're the one who got the best deal."
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right."
Liu Jue paused: "As expected, you have thick skin."
Then he laughed again, his fingers tracing patterns on his smooth, snow-white skin. After thinking for a while, he said, "I didn't suffer any loss either."
Jiang Tian reached out and stroked Liu Jue's eyebrows: "We both feel happy when we're together, so it's worth it for us to have known each other. In that case, neither of us has lost out."
Liu Jue's eyes darkened considerably, and after a long while, he kissed Jiang Tian's lips: "Then we should cherish the springtime even more."
Despite saying this, Liu Jue made no further move, treating Jiang Tian like a lump of dough, kneading and manipulating her, and occasionally kissing her.
Once Jiang Tian had fallen into a deep sleep, Liu Jue leaned closer to examine her closely. The casualness in his eyes faded, replaced by a profound and unfathomable meaning.
He thought Jiang Tian was asleep, but unexpectedly, Jiang Tian opened her eyes again, and the two looked directly into each other's eyes.
Liu Jue immediately smiled.
Before he could say anything, Jiang Tian stretched out her snow-white arm, hugged him, gently patted his back a few times, rested her head on his neck, and said in a soft voice with a hint of unspoken comfort: "Sleep."
The emotions in Liu Jue's eyes soon faded away.
He whispered in Jiang Tian's ear, "Qingqing, don't be so good to me. I don't want to let go."
Jiang Tian didn't speak, nor did she lower her hand.
The two slept with their necks intertwined.
The next day, Jiang Tian quietly left the palace.
Others assumed she left the palace soon after entering, but who could have imagined that the emperor would have a one-night stand with a widow?
Even Jiang Yu and Wei Jinxiu were unaware of the truth, assuming that Jiang Tian had visited a friend and stayed overnight after leaving the palace.
Seeing her return, Jiang Yu's eyes filled with anticipation: "Sister..."
Jiang Tian took a sip of tea and glanced at Jiang Yu: "If you have a brain, use it. Don't just leave it there as a decoration. I entered the palace because the Emperor wanted to understand the customs and conditions of the Northwest. The Emperor is not a judge. No one but me will interfere in your affairs."
