Chapter 104 Should We Give It a Try?
Jiang Qingyan never expected that Shen Yuan, like her, was also an orphan…
Perhaps it was a sense of shared suffering that made her feel more sorry for Shen Yuan, and she gently comforted him, "Don't worry, you're mine now. I'll protect you. If that sleazy guy catches up with us, I'll make him wish he were dead..."
Shen Yuan held Jiang Qingyan tightly. Hearing her words, he felt incredibly at ease. As long as he was with her, nothing else mattered…
The two embraced and kissed on the small couch for a while. Seeing that Shen Yuan's mood had improved, and remembering that Mo Ting was still waiting for her in the palace, she patted Shen Yuan's shoulder and said, "It's getting late, you should go back first. Remember to come for dinner tonight."
Shen Yuan knew, of course, that Jiang Qingyan was in a hurry to go back and coax Mo Ting. Although he was reluctant to part with her, he did not want to make things difficult for her, so he had no choice but to obediently return to his own palace.
Jiang Qingyan straightened her disheveled clothes and slowly walked into the bedroom. She saw Mo Ting sitting on the bed, studying a military book carefully.
Seeing Jiang Qingyan return, Mo Ting quickly closed the book, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "My husband is back..."
Jiang Qingyan smiled, took off her outer garment, shoes, and socks, and then got into bed.
Seeing the military treatise in Mo Ting's hand, Jiang Qingyan seemed thoughtful. She slowly asked, "Mo Ting, do you still want to return to the imperial court?"
Mo Ting pursed his lips. Of course he wanted to, he really wanted to...
From a young age, he had a passion for political intrigue. He finally reached the pinnacle of power, but before he could realize his ambitions, he found himself in the inner palace...
Becoming empress was not the path he originally wanted, but he deeply loved his husband and was willing to retire to the inner palace, thus burying his talents...
Jiang Qingyan raised her hand and turned Mo Ting's head to face her, then stared into his eyes and said seriously, "Tell the truth, do you want to or not?"
Mo Ting's eyes trembled slightly, but she hesitated to utter the word "want." Returning to the court was no easy task. Why bring trouble to her husband by saying it out loud?
After a moment, Mo Ting chuckled and shook her head. "No, I just want to stay with my husband like this."
Although he pretended to be nonchalant, Jiang Qingyan could still see the disappointment in his eyes.
Jiang Qingyan gave Mo Ting a light kiss on the lips and said softly, "Let's go to the morning court together tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ting was startled. "Attending the morning court together... how can this be..."
Jiang Qingyan smiled and said, "Why not? You are the Empress. When you are in the court, all the civil and military officials will still have to pay homage to you."
Mo Ting's eyes were filled with anticipation. Could he really still stand in that position...?
Seeing Mo Ting's genuine happiness, Jiang Qingyan smiled, pressed him down, and gently kissed his neck, whispering in his ear, "Tonight is Lu Nian's night of service. If you don't hurry, you'll have to hold back..."
Mo Ting's ears were tickled by the warm breath. He tilted his head and gently took Jiang Qingyan's lips into his mouth, kissing her passionately...
How could he not love such a considerate and wonderful husband...?
Their clothes fell slowly to the ground with each passionate kiss, and their two loving souls intertwined deeply...
After dinner, Jiang Qingyan went to Yuehua Palace and saw Lu Nian taking a bath. She became interested and quickly took off her clothes and got into the bath.
Lu Nian smiled, her slender fingers slowly tracing down Jiang Qingyan's neck, and said softly, "Husband... I missed you so much..."
Jiang Qingyan's gaze lingered on Lu Nian for a moment, then she nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm...it's only been a few days, but my darling's figure has really gotten better and better..."
Lu Nian confidently patted her muscular chest, a slight blush rising on her cheeks. "Does my husband like it?"
Jiang Qingyan raised her hand and gently stroked it, unable to resist praising, "I love it! I love it so much I wish I could devour you right now!"
Only after the water in the bathtub cooled down did Lu Nian pull a towel off the screen, dry Jiang Qingyan in his arms, and place her on the bed.
The two of them kept going until midnight before finally falling asleep from exhaustion...
The next day at dawn, Wang Gonggong's voice rang out outside the palace right on time. Jiang Qingyan rubbed her eyes, feeling extremely sore all over.
Meanwhile, Lu Nian beside her had already gotten up and was deftly putting on his court robes. Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Lu Nian is truly amazing. He's been up all night and he's acting like nothing happened... especially since he did so many difficult moves...
After Lu Nian finished putting on his court robes, he quickly helped Jiang Qingyan up from the bed and then skillfully dressed her.
As soon as she stepped out of the bedchamber, she saw Mo Ting waiting at the door. Lu Nian asked in confusion, "Why is the Empress here?"
Jiang Qingyan smiled and said, "Naturally, we will attend court together."
As she spoke, she took Mo Ting's hand in one hand and Lu Nian's hand in the other, and skipped and hopped to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Upon reaching the dragon throne, Jiang Qingyan did not let go of Mo Ting's hand, but instead pulled him down to sit with her.
All the ministers in the court were taken aback. The Imperial Censor Zhang hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, why has the Empress come to the court today? And... how can the Empress sit on this dragon throne?"
Mo Ting pursed his lips and was about to get up when Jiang Qingyan pressed him down. She gently squeezed Mo Ting's palm, indicating that he should sit still.
Jiang Qingyan stared at Minister Zhang below the stage, raised an eyebrow, and said, "The Empress is my man, why can't she attend court? Besides... since the Empress can lie beneath me, she can naturally sit beside me..."
Upon hearing this, all the ministers blushed deeply. How could the Emperor so casually speak of matters of the bedroom...?
Lord Zhang sighed softly and continued to persuade him, "Your Majesty... this is against the rules..."
Jiang Qingyan rested her head on Mo Ting's shoulder and said nonchalantly, "What are rules? I only know that what I say is the rule. If you don't agree, then try to become the emperor."
Lord Zhang was speechless for a moment and had no choice but to step back to his position.
Seeing that the emperor's attitude was so firm, no one else dared to say anything more and had no choice but to give up.
She's already the Empress, second only to the Emperor. If she wants to attend court, then let her. After all, he used to attend court every day when he was the Regent, and his abilities are obvious to all.
Besides, since the emperor has already agreed, let him sit on the dragon throne if he wants. It's not like he's sitting on his own kang (heated brick bed), so let's not worry about it too much...
At this moment, Lin Zhijie stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report..."
