The Empress has arrived

The July weather was unbearably hot and humid!
Around noon, Shang Yanyao sat in the pavilion, drinking wine infused with chilled spring water. Four palace maids stood behind him, fanning him with large feather fans, but he still felt incredibly hot.
He stared at the silver wine cup in his hand. In this sweltering heat, could that little child from the warm and humid Moonlit Kingdom adapt to this oppressive weather?
For three days, ever since he had seen that little child in the main hall, her tearful, loving eyes had lingered in his mind, even disturbing his sleep at night.
Her name was Yu Mi, a very cute name. She lived up to it; her fair and pretty face gave off a sweet and delicate feeling.
She looked so petite, completely different from the tall, voluptuous women of the North. What would it feel like to hold her? A hint of reverie flickered in Shang Yanyao's dark, brooding eyes.
Just as he fell into deep thought again, Chief Eunuch Cha spoke up.
"Your Majesty!" Chief Eunuch Cha called out softly.
"What is it?" Shang Yanyao snapped out of his reverie, angrily downing the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"This is what this old servant wanted to ask Your Majesty. Your Majesty, is something troubling you?" Chief Eunuch Cha asked respectfully.
He had been in the palace for fifty years since he entered at the age of six, and the overlord Shang Yanyao beside him had been served by him since childhood. Therefore, he knew the king quite well.
He noticed that the king had been lost in thought like this for the past few days, but his expression didn't seem to indicate that anything major had happened; rather, it seemed as if something was on his mind.
"What worries could I possibly have?" Shang Yanyao said coldly, pouring another cup of wine, which he then downed in one gulp.
He suddenly remembered her fall and asked, "What did the royal physician say that day?" Chief Steward Cha was taken aback by the king's abrupt question, then finally understood what the king was asking and why he had been so lost in thought these past few days.
It was because of that lovely little princess!
This was the first time the king had shown concern for someone, especially a woman! However, it seemed the king himself hadn't realized it.
"Your Majesty, the royal physician said that Princess Yu Mi only suffered minor injuries and is nothing serious," Chief Steward Cha replied.
It was inevitable that the king would care about the little princess, because Princess Yu Mi was not only beautiful and charming but also appeared innocent and pure, giving off a fresh and sweet feeling.
Perhaps Princess Yu Mi's sweetness could soften the king's overly violent and resolute temper. After all, he had been rigorously trained since childhood, leaving him without understanding what love was, let alone how to love others.
"So...is she getting used to life here?" Shang Yanyao asked casually, but his face remained cold, revealing no thought.
"Your Majesty, this old servant doesn't know. However, Yuemian Kingdom is spring-like all year round. I wonder if Princess Yumi will fall ill from this heat?" Chief Eunuch Cha said calmly.
"Fall ill from the heat?" Shang Yanyao's handsome face suddenly darkened.
Shang Yanyao pursed his lips. Hearing that the lovely little girl might fall ill from the heat, his heart stirred with a restless unease.
Unable to suppress the urge to see her, Shang Yanyao put down his wine cup.
"Let's go, to Yu Ning Palace," Shang Yanyao could no longer sit still; he was worried that the little girl was indeed sick.
Shang Yanyao strode towards Yu Ning Palace.
"His Majesty has arrived!" A eunuch at the front shouted loudly towards Yu Ning Palace.
"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!" As Yan Yao walked into the garden of Yu Ning Palace, he saw four palace maids kneeling and trembling, bowing to him. Yu Mi and her two dowry maids were nowhere to be seen. "
Is she really ill?
" he asked grimly. "Why didn't Princess Yu Mi come out to greet me?"
"The princess...she..."The four palace maids trembled with fear. The King's arrival had been too sudden; they hadn't had time to inform Princess Yu Mi.
"What happened to her?" Shang Yan Yao asked urgently, unable to wait for the maids' reply. He said in a low, hoarse voice, "You all wait outside." With that, he couldn't contain his impatience and strode into the hall, then went straight to the back room. His
dark eyes narrowed as he stared in surprise at the large room, which was completely empty.
Where was everyone?
Just then, he heard bursts of laughter coming from behind. Wasn't that the bathhouse?
His face tightened, his eyes flashing with anger, and he strode towards the back bathhouse.
He hoped he wouldn't find out that the little girl was playing in the back bathhouse!
*********************
"Princess, that's enough! Stop splashing water with your feet! Chun Hong and I are soaked!" Xia Lu covered her face with her hands, pleading with her young mistress in the bathhouse.
Yu Mi was happily splashing water, making a huge splash.
"Hehe!" "I'm just deliberately spraying you all wet! It's so hot, you can all cool off!" With that, Yu Mi splashed water from the bathtub with both hands, then sprayed it onto her two personal maids.
Three days had passed since she arrived in Wuyan Kingdom. Aside from her unpleasant first day when she fell, she wasn't finding life in Wuyan Kingdom difficult at all.
Although July in Wuyan Kingdom was extremely hot, the bathtub in Yu Ning Palace was several times larger than the one her mother had specially built for her in Yue Mian Kingdom, and it was tiered.
Not only could she swim in the deep water in the middle, but she could also lie on the stone steps. Soaking in the water delighted her; she played there for hours every day!
Although she had promised her mother she wouldn't swim in the bath, the weather was incredibly hot and humid. Besides, as long as she was careful and didn't get caught, it would be fine.
She had four palace maids guard the front courtyard, ready to inform her immediately if anyone came. Therefore, she could play in the bath without worry, frolicking with Chunhong and Xialu.
Yumi's pretty face was full of mischievous smiles as she splashed water with her feet again, "Splash! Splash! Splash!" "Splashing water everywhere.
The three, mistress and servants, frolicking in the bath, were completely oblivious to the sounds outside because the girl in the water was constantly kicking and the two palace maids beside them were pleading for mercy. They were also unaware that a pair of sharp black eyes were staring at them angrily from behind.
Shang Yanyao hadn't expected to see her not lying sick in bed, but rather her lively and playful antics in the bath like a fish.
He had just been worried about the little girl, afraid she wouldn't be able to adapt to the sweltering heat and might get sick. But instead, she was soaking in the bath and having so much fun!
Shang Yanyao couldn't suppress the raging anger rising within him; his handsome face twitched with rage.
"So comfortable!" "Yu Mi emerged from the cool water with her delicate face, a bright smile on her face.
She brushed the strands of hair that had fallen across her forehead back, and suddenly, she froze, her smile vanishing, her bright eyes instantly filled with fear and panic.
It was... that terrifying king, Shang Yan Yao! When did he arrive? Yu Mi's face turned deathly pale with shock."
Noticing the princess's unusual expression, Chunhong and Xialu, standing nearby, quickly asked in unison, "Princess, what's wrong?" "Your Majesty!" Yu Mi stammered in the water, grabbing a small orange silk scarf to cover her naked body. The scarf, though small, covered her chest and legs.
Hearing the princess's frightened cry for her king, the two maids turned around and saw a tall, imposing, and dignified man staring at them with a dark, angry face. Terrified, they immediately knelt and prostrated themselves on the ground, "Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!" "What are you doing?" Shang Yanyao, unable to suppress his surging anger, roared.
"I...I..." Shang Yanyao's roar made Yu Mi stammer in fear, her trembling hands gripping the orange silk scarf tightly around her bare chest.
She felt completely paralyzed, because his cold and intimidating gaze seemed murderous.
Xia Lu's words kept echoing in her ears—"If anything displeases me, I'll order someone to be executed!" Was he going to kill her? Was he going to order her execution?
A wave of intense fear swept over her, making her tremble violently, and tears welled up in her clear, bright eyes.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! The princess was just sweating because of the heat, so she went into the water to cleanse herself. Please forgive me!" Chunhong knelt on the ground, explaining to the enraged king, pleading for mercy.
Shang Yanyao's dark eyes, as sinister as a ghost, were fixed on the figure in the bath. He noticed her small body trembling violently, and when he saw tears welling up in her bright, expressive eyes, sliding down her beautiful, rosy cheeks, he froze.
For some reason, every time he saw her with those tearful eyes, he felt a strong pity for her.
Damn it! He cursed inwardly. He hadn't meant to frighten her like this.
After taking a deep breath, Shang Yanyao commanded sternly, "You two, get out!" "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the princess is just..." The tall and fierce king before her seemed quite angry. Chunhong was afraid the princess would be harmed, but she was interrupted by a roar before she could finish her sentence.
"Get out! You two, get out!" Shang Yanyao roared violently.
"Yes!" Chunhong and Xialu hurriedly left the bath, praying in their hearts that the princess would be safe.

An unusual atmosphere permeated the bath.
Seeing Shang Yanyao's tall figure approaching, Yu Mi trembled even more violently in the water, her tears flowing even more profusely. She glanced at the towel and clothes on the table beside her; she was completely naked and couldn't possibly get out of the bath, put on clothes, and bow to him.
As Shang Yanyao's strong physique reached the edge of the pool, Yu Mi instinctively backed away.
"Your Majesty... please... spare... Yu Mi, I... just because... it's too hot, I..." Yu Mi lowered her eyelids, choking back sobs. Shang
Yanyao looked at the beautiful girl crying her eyes out in the water, his initial anger completely overwhelmed by a surge of heartache.
He sat down on the rock by the pool, his handsome face, previously filled with cold anger, gradually softening. "Come here," he said softly.
Yu Mi was stunned by Shang Yanyao's sudden change in attitude towards her. Her large, innocent eyes, brimming with tears, stared at him.
"I won't hurt you, come here," Shang Yanyao said in a low voice, as if trying to soothe her fear.
Although Shang Yanyao's tone had changed, Yu Mi was still afraid. She was also afraid he would be angry, so she trembled, her hands still tightly clutching the orange silk scarf covering her chest, and slowly walked towards his massive frame.
When Yu Mi reached his side, Shang Yanyao lowered his gaze to her still tear-filled eyes, and with tenderness and affection, reached out his large hand to gently stroke her delicate pink cheek, wiping away the tears. Her
face was really small, smaller than his palm! But it felt incredibly soft to the touch. He even wondered why he felt such tenderness for such a small face.
"Don't cry, why are you begging me for mercy? You haven't done anything wrong," Shang Yanyao said, his dark eyes fixed on the beautiful little girl before him.
She looked so small, like a fragile porcelain doll, that he touched her with tender care.
"I..." Yu Mi couldn't answer for a moment, because when Shang Yanyao's rough hands stroked her cheeks and he spoke to her softly, although most of her initial fear had subsided, a strange dread had crept in.
This new fear was different from the previous one, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Shang Yanyao's hand traced her pink cheeks, down her neck, and caressed her smooth, white shoulders and arms.
Her skin was fair and delicate, soft and beautiful to the touch. He had never touched such smooth skin before, and this stirred a desire within him, making him want to tear off the unsightly silk scarf wrapped around her body.
"Your Majesty!" she called out tremulously, because his rough hands touching her body gave her a strange feeling—a mixture of heat and fear.
And the way he looked at her seemed strange.
Gazing at her snow-white, naked body, Shang Yanyao's desire suddenly surged, a burning sensation spreading through his lower abdomen. He wanted her, and he wanted her fervently!
But seeing her body trembling with fear, Shang Yanyao felt a sudden surge of tenderness. The fear in her eyes made him restrain his intense desire, because he didn't want to hurt her.
He smiled bitterly to himself; he had never before suppressed his rising desire for fear of hurting a woman.
Her awkward and inexperienced innocent reaction didn't lessen his rising desire; instead, it fueled his lust, making him want to hold her and kiss every inch of her soft skin.
Suddenly, Shang Yanyao stood up and began to undress.
"Your Majesty, you are going to…" Seeing Shang Yanyao undressing, she was first stunned, then suddenly remembered Ding Mama's words—that nudity between husband and wife was inevitable.
Her face flushed red with embarrassment, and she was so nervous she couldn't speak. Naturally, she took a few steps back.
Shang Yanyao glanced at her with his deep eyes, his gaze fixed on her, and then said simply, "It's so hot, I want to go downstairs—for a shower." "You want to go swimming too...""Uh, you're coming down to shower too?" Upon hearing that the King was also going into the bath, Yu Mi stammered, almost biting her tongue.
She started to feel scared again. She glanced at the table some distance from the bath, where her clothes lay. Why hadn't Chun Hong put her clothes by the pool?
Seeing Shang Yan Yao remove his dragon robe, revealing his dark, strong, and muscular upper body, Yu Mi blushed again. The faint blush on her face deepened because of his truly tall and imposing physique.
Watching him continue to take off his pants, Yu Mi's face turned as red as a ripe apple. She shyly turned her back to him, retreating to a corner, unable to bear watching any longer.
Shang Yan Yao took in her adorable, blushing expression, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
Yu Mi huddled completely in the corner of the bathtub, feeling Shang Yanyao's massive body enter the water, causing ripples and waves on the surface.
Shang Yanyao didn't immediately ask her to turn around. He gazed at her bare, snow-white, slender back, following the beautiful curves of her body, vaguely outlining her petite, shapely buttocks. His gaze wandered downwards, to the clear water where a pair of slender, straight legs were visible.
Shang Yanyao sat on a step in the bathtub, leaning against the stone wall, the water only reaching his shoulders. He narrowed his dark eyes, fixated on the petite, naked body beside him.
What a beautiful sight! It seemed that although she was petite, her proportions were quite well-balanced.
"Come here," Shang Yanyao said in a deep, husky voice, wanting to hold her alluring, snow-white body tightly in his arms.
Yu Mi remained with her back to him, motionless.
The rising heat within him, coupled with the desire to hold her, made Shang Yanyao lose his patience. He spoke in a rough, threatening tone, "Daiji gave you to me, wasn't it so you could serve me? Or do you want me to send you back?" Hearing Shang Yanyao's deeply threatening words, Yu Mi's heart skipped a beat. She immediately turned around, her brows furrowed, her eyes wide with panic, and cried out, "Your Majesty, no, don't send me back to Yuemian Kingdom!" She had promised her mother that she would be obedient and would never allow anyone to send her back to Yuemian Kingdom, because she was the princess of Yuemian Kingdom and had a duty to protect its land.
"If you come here, perhaps I won't send you back." She was indeed incredibly naive. Shang Yanyao didn't actually want to threaten her like this, but he only hoped that she wouldn't be so afraid of him.
Yu Mi clutched the silk scarf in front of her and slowly walked towards Shang Yanyao. Although she felt a sense of fear towards him, she was even more afraid that he would send her back to the Moon Eye Kingdom.
She timidly approached him, her cheeks burning, and lowered her head, not wanting him to see her blushing.
As she nestled beside him, he could almost smell her fragrance, gazing intently at her beautiful, rosy cheeks.
Unable to suppress the urge, Shang Yanyao used his finger to lift her delicate chin. "Look at me, don't look down!" He forcefully made her look at him, because he didn't like her always looking down.
They stared at each other.
Forced to look at him so domineeringly, Yu Mi felt a little angry and shy, but it also allowed her to see his face clearly.
He wasn't as old as she had imagined. He had a dark, resolute, and perfectly shaped face, a proudly straight nose, and deep, confident black eyes that exuded authority, making him appear incredibly handsome.
Although he often wore a cold expression and was terrifying when he lost his temper, there was no denying that he was actually a very handsome man.
This was the first time she had been so close to a man, making her heart pound.
Shang Yanyao hooked her chin with one hand, while the other gently caressed her delicate and perfect fair face. Although she wasn't as stunningly beautiful as Consort Lan, her delicate and rosy face, paired with a pair of bright and clear eyes, gave her a natural, innocent, charming, and sweet feeling.
"Mi'er!" he whispered, her fresh sweetness making his heart flutter.
His fingers lightly traced her small, alluring lips, and suddenly, he lowered his head to kiss her two rosy lips.
When his thick, masculine lips touched hers, Yu Mi was startled, a little taken aback, her large eyes wide with shock, and then she began to feel a little short of breath.
Touching her delicate, crimson lips, Shang Yanyao's self-control gradually crumbled. The taste, like her name, was sweet and soft.
He had only intended a light kiss, but stimulated by her sweet allure, Shang Yanyao couldn't stop himself; he wanted to possess her more deeply!
His kiss gave her a warm and resolute feeling, making her face burn. Feeling his tongue lick her lips and then slide into her mouth, she gasped nervously, simultaneously feeling the increasing heat, making her dizzy, short of breath, and her body hot.
Although only a sliver of self-control remained, he didn't want her innocent self to be afraid of him. He would slowly ignite her passion. Therefore, he carefully and gently inserted his burning tongue into her small mouth, tasting her sweetness.
His lips pressed firmly against hers, making it difficult for her to breathe. A strange, inexplicable heat emanating from within her made her close her eyes in discomfort. Just as she felt she couldn't breathe, a wave of dizziness washed over her, and she swayed as if she were about to faint.
Sensing her weakness, Shang Yanyao quickly reached out and supported her slender shoulders, whispering, "Careful!" He pulled her into his arms to prevent her from falling into the water.
Yu Mi felt a wave of heat wash over her. Her hands loosened, releasing the silk scarf she was clutching, and she collapsed onto Shang Yanyao, who was sitting on the stone steps, her body pressed against his bare, muscular chest.
Seeing her silk scarf slip off, revealing her small, rounded breasts, Shang Yanyao's body tensed, and the burning sensation in his lower abdomen intensified.
Shang Yanyao's warning, coupled with a pair of strong hands gripping her shoulders, pulled her back to reality. She opened her eyes and found herself naked, lying on top of the equally naked Shang Yanyao, their bodies pressed intimately together. Yu Mi's heart tightened, and she tried to pull away from his broad chest, her hands instinctively reaching to cover her breasts. However,
Shang Yanyao grabbed her hands, startling her. She looked at him, meeting his intense gaze, which made her heart pound and her cheeks flush instantly. Shang
Yanyao acted quickly, grabbing her hands and pinning them behind her back with one hand, while the other pressed against her buttocks, pulling her closer. As she looked up at him, he once again covered her alluring lips with his.
This kiss was not as gentle as before; it was almost forceful, domineering, wild, and passionate, because he was eager to taste her sweetness.
"Oh!" Shang Yanyao couldn't help but exclaim inwardly. Her lips were so soft. He slowly deepened his kiss, because she was so sweet, so beautiful.
Yu Mi couldn't withstand the teasing of his warm tongue and the intense masculine scent emanating from him. Her body trembled slightly, and she unconsciously let out a soft moan. She felt as if she had a fever, a strange, burning sensation spreading through her body.
Shang Yanyao eagerly demanded and sucked at her alluring nectar. This time, he would slowly teach her, guide her on how to match his kisses, and then adjust her breathing.
His warm, wet tongue lightly kissed her flushed cheeks, then slid to her ear, whispering huskily, "Breathe softly." Yu Mi felt dizzy and her legs almost gave way. With Shang Yanyao's constant hot breath on her ear, she murmured uncomfortably, "So hot!" Hearing her innocent expression of her feelings, Shang Yanyao's lips curled into a smug and wicked smile. It seemed he had awakened the primal desires hidden within her.
His lips traced the curve of her face, kissing her delicate neck. He kissed her passionately, leaving dark red hickeys on her snow-white skin.
He released her hands, which had been bound behind her back, one arm tightly around her slender waist, the other slowly caressing her buttocks upwards. Then, his large hand grasped her small, full breasts, gently kneading them. His warm, wet tongue, hungry and lustful, lowered its head to lightly lick the rosy buds on her mounds.
"No...ah..." The intense, trembling sensation made Yu Mi groan involuntarily, gripping his strong arms tightly.
She was so petite, yet so soft and sweet, making him love her trembling, feverish body. He could no longer suppress the intense desire within him to have her.
A burning thirst exploded within him, causing his body to tense and swell with this intense need.
Shang Yanyao's large hands embraced her slender waist, gently lifting her from the deep water, then letting her straddle his legs. "Come on, sit properly!" He could no longer endure the swelling pain in his body; he wanted her, he had to enter her soft body!
Yu Mi was suddenly lifted up and straddled him, her face flushing red again, but she couldn't sit properly as he instructed, because it felt like there was a hard object pressing against her buttocks, causing her to lose her balance and writhe restlessly.
"Your Majesty, no...it's so uncomfortable...I can't sit still...it hurts..." Yu Mi lowered her head uncomfortably, trying to see what hard object was underneath her.
When she saw that it belonged to Shang Yanyao, she was first startled, then a surge of inexplicable and intense fear welled up inside her. Her face changed drastically, and her whole body trembled. She bit her lower lip, trying to hide her fear.
She had promised her mother that no matter what the king wanted her to do, she could not refuse, even if she was so afraid now, she could not cry.
Although she tried her best to control the fear within her, he could still see her fear in her large, frightened eyes, and besides, her body was trembling violently as she sat on him.
No! She was too scared, and too petite! At this moment, under these circumstances, his roughness and excessive desire might hurt her!
Shang Yanyao pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment.
"Get away!" he growled roughly, lifting her petite body off him, then with a cold and stern face, he stepped out of the bath and began to put on his clothes with his back to her.
Shang Yanyao took a deep breath, no longer looking at the figure in the water, trying to control and calm the intense thirst within him. She was so small; he didn't want to hurt her, because she might not be able to bear him.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Mi was taken aback by Shang Yanyao's sudden growl and his action of stepping out of the bath. His Majesty looked... angry. Had she angered him again?
Shang Yanyao didn't turn around; his body was tense as he forcibly suppressed his inner desires. Because he couldn't guarantee that when he turned around and looked at her again, he could control the burning desire within him. He couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't force himself on her right there in the bath!
"Your Majesty, do you hate Mi'er? I...no..." Yu Mi wanted to explain. She didn't mean to refuse His Majesty; she was just a little scared because it was the first time she had seen a naked male body and the intimate skin-to-skin contact between them.
Shang Yanyao finished dressing, didn't say a word, glanced at her coldly, and then turned and left.
"Your Majesty..."
Yu Mi stared blankly at Shang Yanyao's tall, departing figure, still confused. What was wrong with him? Did she do something wrong? Or did he simply not like her?
Shang Yanyao, his body tense, walked out of Yu Ning Palace and headed straight for Yue Ning Palace.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" Upon hearing the news, Consort Lan rushed out to greet him. Although she was slightly puzzled as to why he had come to see her at this time, she was still happy to welcome him.
Shang Yanyao's handsome face was taut as he strode into Yue Ning Palace.
"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor! Lan'er..." Consort Lan knelt on the ground, but before she could finish speaking, she was roughly pulled up by Shang Yanyao, whose face was frozen with anger, and led to the room.
Shang Yanyao pushed Consort Lan onto the bed; he needed to release his surging desire!
"Your Majesty, why are you..." The King was acting strangely today, because he rarely wanted her during the day, and he had never been so impatient before.
Although she was pleased that the king was so eager for her at this moment, she had never seen him act so unusually before! She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"Your Majesty, let Lan'er help you!" Consort Lan smiled charmingly, then reached out to help Shang Yanyao take off his clothes, but he brushed her away with a wave of his hand.
"No need!" Shang Yanyao said gruffly and coldly.
He directly lifted Consort Lan's skirt, pulled it up to her body, forcefully tore off her underpants, and then unfastened his own trousers.
Shang Yanyao closed his eyes, trying not to think about the beautiful woman who kept appearing in his mind during the process of surging release.
He let out a gruff growl, ending this pursuit of physical desire.
But in his heart, that beautiful and flawless little face tightly entwined his heart, making it impossible for him to find satisfaction after the release.
"Your Majesty, what...what's wrong?" Consort Lan asked breathlessly. He hadn't even undressed her before taking her so eagerly—it was too strange.
Shang Yanyao ignored Consort Lan on the bed, his handsome face still cold.
He straightened his clothes, and before leaving, he glanced coldly at Consort Lan on the bed. Why had he previously thought she was very beautiful, and been infatuated with her voluptuous body?
No, she was still beautiful, still voluptuous, but his heart had been completely occupied by a small body. And now, only one person could completely satisfy him—a petite and sweet little woman!
"Your Majesty...""Shang Yanyao left just as quickly as he had come, completely ignoring Consort Lan's soft, seductive calls.
After the king left, Consort Lan rose and straightened her clothes.
What was wrong with the king? Not only did he not remove her clothes before taking her, but he also closed his eyes when he did it. Why was he like this? And he had only been here for less than half an hour!
Why was the king acting so strangely today? No, a sharp glint flashed in Consort Lan's eyes. She needed to know what had happened.
After leaving the room, she immediately instructed her personal maid, Ah..." Man, go investigate what the King did this afternoon and his whereabouts.
Upon learning that the King first went to Yu Ning Palace and then directly to Yue Ning Palace, a sinister smile appeared on her beautiful face.
Although the King might have come to her because that little boy couldn't satisfy him, it was undeniable that his unusual behavior today was all because of that skinny little boy; perhaps her father's worries were justified. It seemed she had to keep a close eye on that fifteen-year-old!
She instructed the maid, Man, to keep a close watch on every move in Yu Ning Palace.
***************************
Yu Mi sat on a stone chair under a tree in the courtyard, holding the embroidered handkerchief her mother had given her, lost in thought. Her maids, Chun Hong and Xia Lu, stood beside her.
Five days had passed since the King stormed off in anger.
For these five days, she had been anxiously waiting for the King to come to Wang Ning Palace, but he hadn't come. Although this relieved her, a corner of her heart felt a pang of loss at not seeing him. What
was wrong with her? Why were her emotions so complicated? How could her heart hold two such extreme feelings? She felt both relieved and lost. What was wrong with her? Yu Mi couldn't grasp her own emotions; her small face was slightly furrowed.
And these past few days, she kept thinking about what happened in the bath—the king's rough, large hands constantly caressing her body, making her feel hot all over; and his kisses, though they made her dizzy, also filled her with an excitement that she couldn't forget.
She gently touched the lips that Shang Yanyao had kissed, as if they were still warm and tender! Why did she miss and crave his kisses so much?
She couldn't help but think of his dark, muscular chest, so broad and strong, and the thought of lying naked on his firm body made her cheeks flush.
But would the king come to Yu Ning Palace again?
Alas! She sighed deeply. He left so angrily that day; perhaps he wouldn't come to Yu Ning Palace again, because he didn't like her.
Watching their mistress beside them, who had been frequently seen laughing foolishly, blushing, and sighing these past few days, Chunhong and Xialu were both very curious. They had never seen such a sentimental princess before!
Xialu couldn't help but ask, "Princess, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?" "Nothing," Yumi replied absentmindedly, fiddling with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.
Suddenly, a whirlwind arose. Although July in the north was sweltering, sudden gusts like this were common.
Yumi naturally picked up the embroidered handkerchief and held it to her face. Perhaps she was too careless, because the whirlwind blew the handkerchief away.
"Oh, my handkerchief!" Yumi and two maids immediately chased after the handkerchief, and four other maids joined the chase. But the silk handkerchief was too light; the sudden strong wind blew it into a tall tree in the courtyard, where it lay sprawled across a branch.
"Ah! My embroidered handkerchief! It was given to me by the Queen Mother!" Yu Mi cried out anxiously, seeing the wind blowing so hard it seemed to be carrying the handkerchief away from the tree.
"Princess, I'll go find someone to help you get it down!" Chun Hong said.
"It's probably too late. By the time we find someone, the handkerchief might have already been blown into the sky." Yu Mi looked worriedly at the handkerchief stuck in the branch.
"No, I can't let the wind blow it away. I'll climb up and get it myself." Yu Mi said, pulling up the hem of her skirt and hooking it around her waist, making it easier to climb the tree.
"No, Princess, this tree is so high, it's very dangerous. Let us find someone to help you!" Chun Hong and Xia Lü both tried to dissuade the princess.
The four palace maids, bestowed by the King, widened their eyes in disbelief when they heard that the princess of Yue Mian Kingdom was going to climb a tree.
"It's too late! Don't worry, it's not like I've never climbed a tree before!" Yu Mi gripped the trunk and began to climb.
Although she had never climbed a tree this tall before, her mother's embroidered handkerchief was up there, and she had to get it down no matter what.
"Princess, let Xia Lu climb up and get it for you!" Xia Lu said.
Although she had never climbed a tree before, she had seen the princess climb trees, so it shouldn't be difficult. Besides, the tree was so tall; it would be too dangerous for the princess to climb it.
"Alright, you all don't need to nag anymore. Wait for me down here." Yu Mi didn't have time to argue with them anymore, because time was precious.
"Princess... please be careful!" several palace maids shouted in unison.
Yu Mi carefully and slowly climbed up the tree. Although the branches of this tree were very thin, as long as she stepped carefully, they shouldn't break.
She climbed up with difficulty and finally reached the embroidered handkerchief lying across the branch.
She tied the handkerchief around her waist, then paused on the branch, wanting to catch her breath before climbing down.
"Snap—" A crisp sound of a branch breaking came; the branch she was standing on had broken.
"Ah...""Princess!" The six palace maids under the tree screamed in fright when they saw the branch the princess was standing on snap. Some even covered their faces in fear.
"Luckily, I reacted quickly!" Yu Mi thought thankfully, because she managed to grab the branch with both hands in time. However, holding onto the branch with both hands was too tiring, so she hooked her feet onto the same branch. "
That's it," Yu Mi cried out inwardly, because although she was temporarily safe, she was now stuck on the branch, unable to move.
Shang
Yanyao was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.
But after an entire afternoon, he had only reviewed three, an incredibly inefficient process, because he simply couldn't concentrate on them.
His mind was already occupied by a sweet face. Yes, it was that fifteen-year-old girl, Yu Mi!
Damn it! Shang Yanyao cursed in frustration at his inability to concentrate.
Although he tried to control himself from thinking about her, the image of Yu Mi naked and shyly all over his mind kept flashing before his eyes, not only during the day when she taught him... Lost in thought, he tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep.
Five days had passed, and he hadn't gone to Yu Ning Palace, fearing he wouldn't be able to control his desires if he saw her again. But not going only intensified his longing for her.
He never imagined he'd be so disturbed by a mere child, his heart unable to find peace. Perhaps he shouldn't have kept her in the first place; he should have sent her back to Yue Mian Kingdom, and this wouldn't have happened.
He took a deep breath, readjusted his thoughts, and then picked up the memorial from the Minister of Rites to review. The matter being reported concerned the succession of the new queen.
Yan Yao's deep eyes narrowed as the selection of the new queen was announced; he had almost forgotten about it.
The report mentioned the candidate, and he considered Consort Lan, possessing both virtue and beauty, to be the best choice.
He had also considered Consort Lan as queen not long before, but for some reason, he couldn't recall her appearance at all. He hadn't expected that after only a few days away from Yuening Palace, he would have forgotten her appearance, even her existence.
Why, when he was just thinking about the successor queen, was the image of Yu Mi's delicate beauty flashing through his mind again? If his face
were an enemy, he could lead the invincible army of Wuyan Kingdom to swiftly and decisively wipe them out; if it were someone who opposed him, as the king, he could readily order their execution. But that little thing, though nothing in particular, kept disturbing his peace of mind, and he couldn't eliminate, kill, or even send her back to Yuemian Kingdom. This was why his heart remained uneasy.
Shang Yanyao picked up his brush and wrote "This king has his own plans" on the memorial from the Minister of Rites before closing it.
"Your Majesty!" Chief Eunuch Cha slowly entered the imperial study, carrying a cup.
"What is it? Didn't I tell you not to bother me? So fussy!" Shang Yanyao said unhappily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Because it's so hot, Consort Lan personally made lotus seed soup for Your Majesty, and she had this old servant bring it in." "Chief Steward Cha replied respectfully.
"Put it aside!" Shang Yanyao said rudely and impatiently.
"Yes!" Chief Steward Cha placed the lotus seed soup on a small table to the side.
Shang Yanyao looked at the lotus seed soup, but in his heart he thought that Consort Lan cared about him, all the officials cared about him, and even the people of the whole country cared about him, but what about her? Did she care about him?
His heart sank, and his face became even more gloomy. No, he had to go outside for some fresh air.
He strode out of the imperial study, followed immediately by his entourage. Seeing the king's terrifyingly angry face, none dared to ask where he was going.
He claimed he needed some fresh air, but unknowingly found himself
at the Jade Serenity Palace. Shang Yanyao stood before the palace, his face grim, his tall frame towering, his hawk-like eyes fixed on the scene without uttering a word.
Suddenly, he heard the urgent screams of palace maids from within: "Ah! Princess, be careful!" What happened to Yu Mi? Shang Yanyao's heart tightened. He quickly walked towards the Jade Serenity Palace, pushed open the gate, and went inside.
He saw six or seven palace maids gathered under a tree, all looking up.
He followed their gaze, his face a mixture of shock, anger, and a hint of fear he had never felt before!
****************************
Several palace maids were gathered under the tree. Hearing the door open, they immediately turned and were startled. "Your Majesty, long live the King!" The maids trembled and knelt in greeting.
Yu Mi, hanging from the branch, was startled to see the King enter. She screamed and her limbs involuntarily loosened, causing her to fall straight down.
"Ah... Princess, danger!" The maids screamed again as Princess Yu Mi fell.
"Danger!" Shang Yanyao immediately leaped up, using his swift lightness skill to lightly touch a nearby tree, then flew over and caught Yu Mi in time. He held her firmly in his arms!
Shang Yanyao's heart nearly stopped beating. His face was cold and angry as he angrily placed the girl in his arms on the ground, only then realizing how petite she was, barely reaching his chest.
Yu Mi, still shaken, clutched her chest tightly, thinking she was going to die. Luckily, the King had saved her.
After taking a deep breath, she looked up at the tall and imposing King beside her. Noticing that his handsome face looked somewhat stern and angry, a sweet and charming smile bloomed on her face. "That was really close, Your Majesty! Thank you for saving Yu Mi!" She could actually smile, and such a bright and innocent smile at that. Thinking about how he had seen her fall from the tree, he felt like countless cells in his body had died.
And if he hadn't caught her in time, falling from such a high tree onto that hard ground, the consequences would have been... He dared not imagine!
Unable to suppress the intense anger rising within him from excessive tension, he rudely shouted, "What are you doing?" His dark eyes were fixed on her.
Yu Mi was startled by his sudden outburst. She stared innocently at the tall, imposing Shang Yan Yao, her eyes wide with confusion. In the past, if she made a mistake, her mother would forgive her as long as she smiled at her. Why was he still so angry?
"Speak!" Shang Yan Yao roared again.
"I... just now... actually..." Yu Mi tried to explain why she climbed the tree, but seeing Shang Yan Yao's terrifying, furious expression, she swallowed hard.
He hadn't expected that someone so seemingly petite and delicate would climb a tree. Had she forgotten she was a princess? And was she so foolish as to not know the dangers of climbing trees? Not only could she climb trees, but she climbed trees taller than the roof! Didn't she know how dangerous that was? Luckily, he arrived in time to save her life today, but what about tomorrow? The day after? He couldn't possibly be by her side all the time!
"The embroidered handkerchief my mother gave me was blown into a tree by the wind. I was afraid it would fly away, so I..." Yu Mi could barely continue, staring at his increasingly gloomy and angry face.
"Just to pick up an embroidered handkerchief?" Shang Yan Yao asked coldly, his lips pressed tightly together.
"Your Majesty, I... that was..." Yu Mi's face crumpled, her voice trembling as she tried to explain.
"Perhaps I should teach you a lesson, you wild girl, so you'll never dare to climb trees again," he glared angrily at the petite woman before him. He would punish her so she would never dare to climb trees again.
"Your Majesty!! I... Yu Mi knows she was wrong!" Yu Mi was stunned, seeing him furiously say he would punish her.
Shang Yan Yao used his large hand to firmly hook her slender waist, easily lifting her onto his hips, and then stormed angrily into her room.
"Your Majesty, no... Yu Mi knows she was wrong, please put me down, I won't do it again!" Yu Mi felt very scared and embarrassed. After all, she was a princess, and being grabbed and lifted by Shang Yan Yao's waist in front of so many attendants and maids was very embarrassing.
Shang Yan Yao ignored the protests of the girl on his waist and still held her tightly in his arms. He would teach her a lesson.
All the attendants and maids stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded in the courtyard, watching the king angrily hug Princess Yu Mi and "lift" her into the house.
