Chapter 1070: Chapter 1072: Never Taking a Consort in the Six Palaces (5)

The man also smiled helplessly, "You, you’re just a child!"

Cai Wei raised her eyes, giving him a reproachful glance, and said, "And you’re calling me a child? In my opinion, you’re the child here, daring to issue such an edict. Aren’t you afraid the civil and military officials will be in an uproar?"

Nangong Yi said indifferently, "Let them be in an uproar. It would be great if they chase my husband off the stage. Then I wouldn’t have to deal with the annoying state affairs, and I could spend my days by my lady’s side ’clinging to your legs’!"

He emphasized the last few words, enunciating each one deliberately, his voice dripping with innuendo, and his captivating gaze flickered across her thighs as if touching them.

"Stop it!"

Cai Wei shyly lowered her head, under the candlelight, her cheeks blossomed like jade with two patches of red clouds, making her cheeks flushed and extremely adorable!

They say that flowers appear more vivid in the moonlight and people look better under the lamplight. Upon seeing Cai Wei with eyes like rippling waters, both shy and reproachful as if inviting him to a tryst in the magical mountains, Nangong Yi felt a stirring heat within him. He tossed the comb aside, swept her up horizontally, and carried her to the side of the couch.

The moonlight was deep, the candlelight flickered, and atop the dressing table, the imperial decree lay spread out with a dragon dancing and phoenix flying design, the handwriting was clear, and it was personally written by Nangong Yi himself.

I, considering the original Heaven and Earth, believe that the start of Qian relies on the achievement of Kun, that the harmonious transformation of a household and a country, the external governance always depends on inner roles. Being matched according to the symbols and thus compatible, it is fitting to assume the proper position and receive honor. Thus I inform you, Lady Mu Caiwei, you are gentle and kind at heart, with a graceful demeanor and all six virtues complete, long displaying your noble character. Within the palace, you have widely promoted education, truly embodying the motherly model to the world. Following the compassionate command of the Empress Dowager, I hereby bestow upon you the imperial title of Empress, to share the body and duties with I, the Emperor, to honor the ancestral temple, mother the world, manage the six palaces, the country will not change rulers for a day, and within the six palaces you shall be the sole wife forever, let it be decreed...

Within the six palaces you shall be the sole wife forever—that was his greatest promise to her...

...

The next day,

The sky was high and clear, the breeze fresh and crisp.

After a long sleep, Cai Wei lazily opened her eyes. At some point, the man had already left, leaving behind only a night of tender memories and the bruises on her body...

She looked down at her body and, biting her teeth, chuckled scoldingly to herself. Taking advantage of the maids not having come in yet, she quickly got up, put on some lingerie and underpants, and called Chun Liu to help her with her makeup.

Seeing the transformation from a gentle miss to a temperamental one, everyone in the mansion had been extra cautious. Chun Liu was already there early, but fearing she might disturb the miss’s sleep, she had been waiting outside the door and didn’t dare to enter. It was only when the miss called for her that she came in with the water basin.

When she entered, she saw the miss had already put on her undergarments and was combing her hair at the dressing table, a soft smile on her face.

Chun Liu was taken aback, as the miss had been in an anxious state for several days, always tense and irritable, capricious, and it had been many days since she last smiled like this. Even if she did smile, it was as if it was veiled with a layer of clouds. But now, it seemed she was truly better!

"Chun Liu, come and comb my hair!"

"Yes, miss, what hairstyle would you like today?"

Chun Liu placed the basin down, opened the makeup kit on the dressing table, and cautiously picked out a boxwood flower-carved comb.

"Let’s go with an auspicious bun!"

Cai Wei’s hair was both black and thick, not typically requiring a wig for simple hairstyles, so when at home, she often wore an auspicious bun.

"The servant understands!"

After Chun Liu responded, she began to focus on the task at hand. At one point, she caught the miss’s hair, but the miss didn’t get angry, nor did she utter any complaints. Chun Liu then relaxed, assured that the miss was completely better.

Huan Qiu also walked in. She was aware of the master’s visit the previous night. Since she was the one who had prepared the hot water for their bath after their moment of intimacy, she had long known the miss was better, so she didn’t approach the situation as gingerly as Chun Liu.
