Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Chapter 98 Three Waiting-for-Husband Stones

Yun Yuxuan scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "I...I'm used to it..."

Shen Yuan curled his lips into a smile. "Your Majesty may not know, but when I was in the Xia Kingdom, my status was several levels higher than that of the Xia King..."

Jiang Qingyan curled her lip, "What a boast. If you really have such a high status, why did you come to the marriage alliance as an attendant?"

After finishing his afternoon meal, Shen Yuan sat in a chair, propped his chin up with his hands, and stared at Jiang Qingyan, feigning grievance, saying, "It's all because you, you lecherous devil, coveted my beauty and even threatened to declare war on the Xia Kingdom if I didn't go along for the marriage alliance. I had no choice but to come for the sake of national righteousness..."

Jiang Qingyan was completely confused. Who was Shen Yuan talking about? When did she say those things?

At this moment, Yun Yuxuan quickly added, "Your Majesty, he is right. He is the great shaman of our Xia Kingdom. When my father was alive, he respected him the most, and even his wooden sculpture was enshrined in the palace. This time, he came to marry despite the opposition of the entire nation, just to spare the people of Xia Kingdom from the suffering of war..."

Seeing that Yun Yuxuan also said the same thing, Jiang Qingyan was completely dumbfounded. What exactly did Shen Yuan say back in Xia Kingdom?

However... it turns out that the wooden sculpture in the former Xia king's bedchamber was for worship... it wasn't related to his affair with the Xia king after all...

Wait! The Great Wizard? Green Medicine once learned from the Xia Kingdom's medical clinic that the former Xia King was bewitched by a villain and became obsessed with the art of immortality, and was accidentally poisoned... Could that villain be Shen Yuan?

Seeing Jiang Qingyan sitting on the couch lost in thought, Shen Yuan slowly got up, walked to her side and sat down, bringing his lips close to her ear and whispering, "Little pervert, what's wrong? Are you moved by my love for the people?"

Jiang Qingyan's ears were tickled by his breath, and she couldn't help but scratch them. This Shen Yuan was truly a devil; he was seducing her again...

She coughed lightly, quickly got up, walked to the table, and sat down. She then beckoned to Yun Yuxuan, "Let's eat, I'm starving..."

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of meat, and began to eat it in large bites.

Thinking of finishing his meal quickly and heading back, he realized that Shen Yuan was too sinister and he dared not linger with him, lest he suffer the same fate as the late King Xia, who died from poisoning...

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingyan ate too quickly and choked. She immediately covered her neck and stared blankly. Yun Yuxuan, who was sitting next to her, was engrossed in eating and did not notice Jiang Qingyan's discomfort.

Suddenly, Jiang Qingyan felt her head being turned around, and a pair of thin lips covered hers. A mouthful of hot tea slowly slid down her tongue and down her throat.

Hearing the commotion beside him, Yun Yuxuan looked up at the two of them, then awkwardly lowered his head again to continue eating...

Back in the Xia Kingdom, the Grand Wizard was rarely seen. Whenever he was seen, he always appeared aloof and unapproachable. Even my father treated him with utmost respect, bowing and scraping...

But his attitude towards the Emperor today seems quite different...

Jiang Qingyan finally swallowed the meat, and instantly felt her throat become incredibly clear, but her tongue felt tingly and numb...

Her eyes widened as she stared into Shen Yuan's incredibly alluring eyes. She quickly pushed him away, pursed her lips, and blushed, saying, "You could have just gotten me a cup of tea. Why did you have to feed me with your mouth... And if you did, why did you have to hook your tongue around me..."

Shen Yuan chuckled and asked in return, "Don't you like kissing me?"

Jiang Qingyan was speechless for a moment. Kissing Shen Yuan did feel wonderful, and it even made her feel intoxicated... she even wanted to take it to the next level...

The last time he casually seduced me, it wasn't until I had a night of intense passion with Mo Ting that I finally released my pent-up desire...

Yun Yuxuan dared not listen any longer, quickly finished the bowl of rice, and made an excuse to leave the bedroom.

Watching Yun Yuxuan's retreating figure, Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but frown.

Just how powerful is Shen Yuan in the Xia Kingdom? Now we're in Da'an, and Yun Yuxuan, as a concubine, has a much higher status than Shen Yuan, who is just a beauty. How could she possibly give up her own palace?

Shen Yuan sat down in the chair next to Jiang Qingyan, picked up his chopsticks and put a slice of braised beef on her plate, propped his chin up and stared at her, saying, "Hurry up and eat, didn't you say you were hungry?"

Jiang Qingyan sighed softly, stuffed the braised beef into her mouth, and frowned, saying, "I remember when you came to discuss the marriage last time, I didn't say that you would also marry into the country, did I? How could you go back to Xia Kingdom and say such nonsense?"

Shen Yuan chuckled lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just saying what was on your mind."

Jiang Qingyan chewed on the braised beef in her mouth, speechless. She was indeed attracted by Shen Yuan's good looks at the time, but later she thought he was unclean, so she refused to let him marry her!

As if seeing through her thoughts, Shen Yuan gently pinched her cheek and said softly, "I am the great wizard of Xia Kingdom. No one dares to lay a finger on me. Don't worry, my body is very clean. No one has ever touched me except you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan's cheeks instantly turned crimson. He was handsome, clean-cut, and seductive—how could she resist?

However, Shen Yuan was no ordinary person, and Jiang Qingyan couldn't reveal her identity before figuring out his thoughts. She put down her chopsticks and quickly stood up, saying, "I'm full. I need to go back and handle state affairs. Please make yourself at home, Consort Shen..."

Fearing she would be lured back by Shen Yuan, Jiang Qingyan pushed open the door and shouted, "Ling Feng! Quickly carry me back!"

Shen Yuan gave a wicked smile, muttering, "There's a first and a second time, but not a third or fourth. Next time, I won't let you go..."

Back at Chaoyang Palace, they found Mo Ting, Lu Nian, and Gulimi sitting in the courtyard, each with a worried expression as they stared at the entrance.

Jiang Qingyan found it somewhat amusing, "Three 'waiting-for-husband' stones..."

Upon hearing Jiang Qingyan's voice, the three of them smiled and quickly surrounded her.

Mo Ting spoke first: "Why has my husband been gone for so long?"

Lu Nian then asked, "Has my husband had lunch yet?"

Gulimie also tugged at Jiang Qingyan's sleeve and asked, "Is it Consort Yun who seduced my husband and prevented him from leaving?"

Jiang Qingyan kissed each of the three men on the lips, then smiled and answered them one by one: "I just had some serious business with Consort Yun, which is why I came back so late. I've already had lunch. He didn't seduce me."

Speaking of seduction, the image of Shen Yuan kissing her immediately flashed through Jiang Qingyan's mind, and she couldn't help but reminisce...

Then she remembered how the three of them sat in the courtyard, staring at each other obediently, waiting for her to return when she came in, and she felt a little guilty...

But with more and more handsome men in the harem in the future, wouldn't it be incredibly boring for them to just wait around? With three people... they could play cards!
