As long as the Empress Dowager permits it, no one will object. And the Empress Dowager indeed has no reason to object, simply because Yan Jiarou is acting voluntarily.
She looked at her with sincere eyes and said firmly, "Grandmother, my brother did not force me. I did all of this willingly."
Xiao Che, standing to the side, coughed and met the Empress Dowager's questioning gaze. He raised an eyebrow, giving her a "See, it's really so?" look, with a hint of smugness.
The Empress Dowager was furious and glared at him fiercely, but in the end, she was helpless.
Since I've changed my identity, my name naturally has to change too.
It's a nice-sounding name.
However, the number of strokes is simply too many when writing it.
She already disliked that her name had too many strokes, and now that Xiao Che had given her this new one, it was even more difficult to write.
She couldn't help but ask, "...Why do you want me to be called this?" Wouldn't Yan Mu'er sound nicer and be easier to write?
Xiao Che raised an eyebrow: "Just call me that, why are you asking so many questions?"
He bent down and patted her cheek: "You are no longer a princess, no longer my sister. You are my maid, my servant. A servant should be aware of his duty. Whatever his master says, he should do. In this world, there is no reason for a servant to ask his master 'why'."
Yan Jiarou listened, stunned for a moment, and then slowly nodded: "Oh..."
Seeing her silly look, Xiao Che couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and patted her cheek: "How is it? Do you like the new name?"
Yan Jiarou pursed her lips; in front of him, she had long since lost the right to say no.
Upon hearing this, she nodded obediently as usual, trying her best to force a sweet smile: "I like it, thank you... thank you Your Majesty."
"You like it just because you know what it means?" Xiao Che slowly straightened up, looking quite pleased. "You really are an idiot."
Yan Jiarou bit her lip and thought about it carefully, but still had no clue: "...What does it mean?"
Xiao Che smiled and said with amusement, "Think for yourself."
Since Yan Jiarou came to serve the emperor, she hasn't really done anything except help Xiao Che change his clothes every day.
Practice makes perfect. The more times she helped Xiao Che change his clothes, the more professional she became.
Xiao Che even needed her to help him dress himself... and even... she knelt at his feet... and when she looked up, what she saw was...
Xiao Che is handsome in every way, like a sculpted masterpiece, but he deleted everything about me and left me alone.
She had vaguely known about it before, but out of shyness and fear, she never dared to look at it too closely.
Furthermore, when the two of them are alone, I don't know what else they should lock if they delete everything and let it go.
But things are different now. She kneels at his feet, serving him, and when she looks up, she sees...
Moreover, this perspective is incredibly clear.
"Hey, little servant," he looked down at her, slightly lifting his eyelids, his tone as casual as ever, but the smile on his lips was clearly wicked: "If you're going to help me change, then help me properly. Why are you blushing?"
"N-nothing..."
Xiao Che scoffed lightly: "Useless thing." He's eaten this countless times, how come he's still so incompetent?
Under her gaze, that thing slowly...
It was already quite... Once...
Yan Jiarou witnessed it being completely deleted.
She was startled and couldn't help but gasp out.
A large hand immediately covered her mouth. Xiao Che's face was extremely ugly. He said fiercely, "What are you yelling about? Do you want everyone to come in and see?"
Yan Jiarou realized what was happening, a hint of panic flashed in her clear black and white eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she nodded.
Xiao Che then slowly released his grip.
The two fell silent for a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere was rather awkwardly subtle.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Yan Jiarou recklessly probed, "Brother, I didn't touch you... I just looked at you..."
Xiao Che's temples bulged with veins as he gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up."
Yan Jiarou covered her mouth in fright. Fine, she wouldn't say anything more. Xiao Che was really something, saying she was naive, but he wasn't much better himself, humph.
Thinking this way, I felt quite pleased and couldn't help but secretly curl the corners of my lips.
But before he could even enjoy his secret revelry for a moment, he was immediately caught red-handed.
Xiao Che leaned down slightly, his chin lifted, and narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Little fool, what are you laughing at?"
Yan Jiarou immediately shook her head, feigning innocence: "No... I didn't laugh."
She was charming and adorable, with a pair of beautiful eyes full of innocent naivety. Such an appearance would normally give her an advantage in feigning innocence.
Unfortunately, the hint of guilt deep in her eyes ultimately betrayed her true feelings.
Xiao Che laughed angrily: "Fine, very well. A mere servant girl dares to speak ill of her master in her heart, is that it?"
A sudden surge of anger rose within him, and he said, "You're laughing at me? Do you think I'll let you laugh again?"
He pinched her cheek with one hand, forcing her to slightly open her lips, then took half a step forward, just enough to press his... [completely deleted] against her lips. Looking at her bewildered expression, Xiao Che's Adam's apple bobbed, and he said in a deep voice, "Come on, don't you love to laugh? Since you can't help it, you'll have to use something to shut your mouth, don't you think?"
He said, "Yan Jiarou, delete everything..."
Yan Jiarou was taken aback, then deleted everything. She looked at him with poetic eyes, and the next moment, she obediently...
Just as she had said before, there was nothing she wouldn't do for him now. Seeing him like this, she had long harbored the intention to help him.
Xiao Che pressed down on the back of her neck, pulled her towards the end, closed his eyes, and said, "Times have changed. I will no longer show mercy to women."
"You can only do this, to satisfy my urges..."
He thought that he naturally loved her very much, and that his behavior towards her was definitely not because he couldn't resist her seemingly innocent yet actually seductive charm.
He didn't have sex with her. She wasn't good enough for him, he thought. He was just using her to vent his frustrations.
If it weren't for romantic desires within the bedroom, for a woman, doing such a thing would be considered humiliating.
He was just humiliating her.
She only deserves to be treated this way by him.
Thinking this way, he became even more unrestrained. He used to feel sorry for her and couldn't bear to do it freely, but now he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
He went straight to her mouth, into her mouth... He caught a glimpse of her moist eyes and red lips, looking at him pitifully. A surge of annoyance rose in his heart, and he didn't continue. He simply pulled off her thin shirt and pressed it against her chest...
...
In the blink of an eye, Yan Jiarou had been serving Xiao Che for half a month. During this half month, she had not done any rough work. Even serving tea and water was no longer allowed to her by Xiao Che after she spilled the tea twice.
Although he didn't let her do anything, Xiao Che would always make her wait by his side, saying it was intentional so that he wouldn't let her slack off or have an easy time.
She had no objection to this.
When he was drafting documents, she would help him grind ink. Xiao Che glanced over unintentionally and noticed that her hand gestures were a bit strange. It was as if she couldn't exert force with her fingertips and could only curl her palms up to hold the inkstone. He frowned and asked a question.
Yan Jiarou paused, raised her hand and tucked a stray hair behind her ear: "I... I didn't know how to grind ink before, I just thought it would be easier this way."
Xiao Che did not ask any further questions.
Lanling people are really lustful. If Xiao Che doesn't relieve himself a few times a day, he feels uncomfortable all over. But he never sleeps with other women. Usually, it's Yan Jiarou who helps him.
She wanted to serve him, and that was probably the most useful thing about it.
But he had never actually touched her; he merely used her body. Sometimes it was deletion, sometimes deletion, sometimes… She glanced down at what lay before her; in just half a month, everything here had been deleted.
He and she seemed intimate, but there was no longer any real intimacy... Thinking of this, Yan Jiarou couldn't help but feel a little lost. She felt that Xiao Che might not like her anymore, which was why he was unwilling to treat her that way; those borderline behaviors were just using her body to relieve his lust.
She wasn't as lustful as Xiao Che claimed. She did enjoy doing that kind of thing with him, but only because it was him. She was willing to do it because he liked it, so she liked it too.
She simply wanted to be closer to him, to have him embedded in her body, to be "you in me, me in you," to be the most intimate couple in the world. That's why she wanted it. But Xiao Che was not willing.
Fortunately, he didn't touch anyone else, which gave her some comfort. Although she didn't know if things would change in the future… well, she'd deal with that later. She didn't want to worry about things that hadn't happened yet!
She originally thought that her relationship with Xiao Che would continue in this lukewarm manner, and that he would only treat her as a cold tool and would never truly make love to her. However, things soon took a turn for the better.
