"Look how much I like you spiritually. If I don't discuss the continuation of life with you, it would be disrespectful to your body." Gu Qimu smiled, lifting Shen Ye's chin with one hand and pressing Shen Ye's hand towards his crotch with the other.
"Get out." Shen Ye abruptly pulled his hand back, breaking free from his grasp, and sat up. If this continued, someone would die. Tomorrow, he would have the kitchen stew a black-boned chicken to help them recover.
How could a powerful man like Gu Qimu allow himself to not have her? He also sat up, wrapped his arms around Shen Ye's waist from behind, and reached forward to unbutton her clothes. Warm kisses landed one after another on Shen Ye's shoulders, tickling her and giving her a very strange feeling.
That wasn't enough. Those hands were as soft as velvet, and wherever they touched, they caused a strong reaction in Shen Ye's body, making his breathing heavier.
What a troublesome little devil.
"Your mouth is all bark and no bite, but your body is surrendering. Why are you such a hypocrite?" Gu Qimu whispered in his ear.
Shen Ye turned around, but before he could speak, his lips were sealed by someone's, a sound that was both lingering and impatient.
Sunrise and sunset, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye; the Emperor's birthday is here.
The streets are bustling with people today, as it is the birthday of the current emperor of the empire. There are envoys from various countries and many merchants who have traveled a long way to bring their goods here, hoping that the birthday celebration will bring them wealth.
After washing and dressing up, Shen Ye prepared to go to Jin Yi Palace early to supervise the palace servants' preparations, as he was afraid of any oversights or the infiltration of assassins.
As they walked through the garden, Yu Niannian approached and stood in front of Shen Ye, saying, "Your Majesty, may I speak with you alone?"
Shen Ye was stunned. He still remembered what happened last time. He was afraid that this woman was going to cause trouble again.
However, when he thought of the system, even if it was a trap, he was willing to risk it.
He waved his hand, and the people behind him retreated on their own, leaving only Qiu Ci standing behind him, looking anxious. "Your Majesty, you mustn't."
"It's alright, go and wait for me over there."
After dismissing Qiu Ci, leaving only the two of them, Yu Niannian suddenly chuckled softly, her voice somewhat cold, and clapped her hands lightly, "Your Majesty the Empress has truly great courage. This concubine admires you, admires you."
Shen Ye smiled faintly and said indifferently, "You flatter me. Consort Yu, you have quite the methods. With one move, you not only eliminated the bastard in your belly, but also made me bear the crime of murdering the imperial heir. Compared to your courage, I am nothing but a small fry compared to Consort Yu."
Yu Niannian sneered, her eyes narrowed, and the hostility on her face deepened. "Chen Ye, you are living a much better life than me now. I am not reconciled."
Shen Ye was stunned. Before she could react to the meaning of her words, she had already turned around and left quickly.
Something bad is going to happen again tonight. Shen Ye doesn't know what it will be, but it's definitely not going to be anything good.
With envoys from various countries and civil and military officials taking their seats, the Emperor's birthday celebration officially began.
This was the first time Shen Ye had ever experienced such a grand festival in ancient times. The performances by the folk artists were all things that Shen Ye had never heard of or seen before, and he was so curious that he couldn't take his eyes off them.
After watching the show, nothing interesting happened next. Shen Ye felt a bit nauseous and dizzy, probably because of the alcohol. Without saying anything, he secretly went outside for some fresh air.
The people of the empire were especially happy tonight, and everyone gathered at the gates of the palace in what they considered their most magnificent attire, for today was the birthday of their great monarch.
