Novel website. Linghu Lan's face darkened. "You're young but have a big temper. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know that I'm a woman as free as the wind."
She smiled and said, "Of course I know, but it feels different when His Majesty says it himself."
This flattery pleased Jun Zhe greatly, and he nodded in satisfaction. "That makes sense, and you are quite amusing."
"You'll see later that I have many interesting qualities. We've had a long day, let's take a break!"
The emperor and empress rested according to the established rules. A palace maid led the emperor to change into casual clothes, and Linghu Lan also changed her clothes. By the time all this was done, it was already quite late.
Jun Zhe dismissed his attendants and hesitated whether or not to go to bed.
Linghu Lan smiled and asked, "Why are you called Jun Zhe?"
The character 谪 (zhé) means punishment or demotion, and its connotation is not very positive.
Speaking of his own name, Jun Zhe was not afraid. "In ancient times, there were immortals who descended to earth. Emperors have always been sons of heaven, and they were banished to rule the land. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Your Majesty has been banished! Your Majesty has been banished!
So that's the meaning.
"That's an excellent name!"
Jun Zhe smiled slightly, as if to say, "You're not bad." "What's the meaning behind your name?"
"The phoenix's melodious song seeks its mate, hoping that the phoenix and the mate will sing in harmony and never betray each other!"
Never betray us!
Looking at Linghu Lan's beautiful face, Jun Zhe's heart stirred. "I promise you today, I will never betray you, is that alright?"
Linghu Lan smiled, turned her head to look at Jun Zhe, and said nothing. "One radish, one hole. Once you're in my hole, you're mine. Want to betray me? No way!"
"The night is long and I can't sleep. How about we make a bet?"
"What are we betting on?"
"I bet you wouldn't dare sleep on the couch under my bed?"
"Hmph! Of course I dare to sleep on the couch, but... but..."
"Oh! I know what you are. You are the emperor, of course you have to save face. How can you sleep on the couch? In the end, it's just that you can't let go of your pride, it's just that you don't dare." Linghu Lan smiled slightly, her dark eyes staring at Jun Zhe with a half-smile.
Jun Zhe immediately blushed. "Do you dare?"
"Of course I wouldn't dare!"
"Hmph! Then what else did you say?"
"I bet you dare! You're the Son of Heaven! Can't you sleep on a mere couch? Many immortals in ancient times even slept in dilapidated temples."
Jun Zhe was furious. "Sleep then, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
He angrily lay down on the couch at Linghu Lan's feet, his mind churning with countless thoughts, mostly driven by resentment. But once he calmed down, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.
It seems he's been tricked!
He was truly outrageous to have fallen for Yue Huangyin's provocation. He thought about it, but then realized he didn't know what to say if he got up. If he didn't get up, wouldn't that just let her get her way? This only added to his anxiety, so he simply covered his head and went to sleep, deciding that he would absolutely ignore her the next day. And so he drifted off to sleep in a daze.
Linghu Lan, however, had no such thoughts. She blew out the candle, got into bed, pulled the covers over herself, and fell asleep.
Getting married in ancient times was too tiring. If she were to hold such a grand wedding again in ancient times, she would make the system gain 30 pounds. She wanted everything to be as simple as possible.
#Speechless System: Did I offend you?
Linghu Lan: Hehe, you're only finding out now? Slowpoke! #
The next morning, the palace maid who was helping the child wash up came in, glanced at the room, and then smashed the copper basin she was holding on the ground with a loud crash.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
Jun Zhe opened his eyes groggily, and just as he was about to ask what was wrong, he saw that he had rolled off the bed and onto the floor.
His expression immediately changed; his pride!
It's all over!!
