The Romantic Adventures of Huanzhu (13)

Chapters 55-66 Teasing the Empress Dowager

"Oh dear, Second Master Fu, you can't go in! The Empress Dowager has already retired for the night and has given the order not to see anyone." Seeing Ertai rushing towards the Empress Dowager's inner chamber, the night watchman, Eunuch Gao, hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Go tell the Empress Dowager that Ertai has urgent business to attend to," Ertai ordered arrogantly.

"This..." Eunuch Gao was somewhat embarrassed. On one hand, he dared not disobey the Empress Dowager's wishes, and on the other hand, he dared not offend Ertai. Everyone knew that Ertai was the Empress Dowager's newly promoted confidant, extremely favored by the Empress Dowager, and had a promising future.

"What 'this'? Just announce it when I tell you to, don't waste your breath!" Ertai shouted unhappily. Originally, eunuchs like Eunuch Gao, who held great power in the harem, were the objects of the princes and ministers' best efforts to curry favor. But now that the Empress Dowager had become Ertai's woman, he naturally didn't care about a powerful eunuch by the Empress Dowager's side.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Despite his displeasure at Ertai's attitude, Eunuch Gao didn't dare show any displeasure on his face. He bowed slightly and backed into the Empress Dowager's inner chamber.

A short while later, Eunuch Gao led a group of palace maids out. These maids looked at Ertai with eager obsequiousness. Although they had some doubts about why Ertai always saw the Empress Dowager at night and stayed all night, they, being accustomed to the inner palace, knew what they should know and what they should pretend not to see, otherwise they would go to the underworld with eternal doubts.

After the maids left and stood guard in the outer room, Ertai crossed the corridor connecting the inner and outer chambers and pushed open the door to the inner chamber.

It seemed the Empress Dowager had truly fallen asleep. She lay languidly on the bed, wearing a dark green gauze nightgown, which partially revealed her red undergarment and panties.

Seeing Ertai's gaze fall upon her, the Empress Dowager instinctively pulled a thin blanket over herself, slightly concealing her beautiful body. Although she and Ertai had already taken that important step, and she had become Ertai's woman, being stared at by Ertai's burning gaze still made her somewhat uneasy.

However, the blanket was rather thin and short, covering only the upper part of her body, revealing a fair, straight leg and a crystal-clear jade foot, as beautiful as a glass work of art.

Ertai's throat suddenly went dry. He didn't bow to the Empress Dowager, but stepped forward and sat on her bed, gently embracing her.

"Ertai, don't do this, let me go, didn't you have something important to tell me?" The Empress Dowager shyly pushed Ertai away, not with much force, and her movements weren't too large. Even she herself didn't realize that with Ertai's gentle embrace, her body had become wet again.

"Come, Lian'er, let me hold you while I talk to you." Ertai called out the Empress Dowager's childhood name.

For twenty or thirty years, no one had addressed the Empress Dowager that way. A sweet warmth filled her heart, mixed with a touch of shyness. She lowered

her head bashfully, allowing Ertai to get onto the bed and embrace her on one side. "Mmm, so fragrant. My dear Lian'er, did you know I was coming and deliberately put on perfume?" Ertai pressed his cheek tightly against the Empress Dowager's back, inhaling the fragrance emanating from her body.

It was a faint jasmine scent, refreshing and pleasant, intoxicating Ertai. His lower body naturally reacted noticeably, hardening against the Empress Dowager's snowy buttocks.

"Ah..."

With Ertai's penis pressing against her, a sweet moan naturally escaped the Empress Dowager's lips.

Ertai felt as if he were hearing heavenly music, and couldn't help but let his large hands roam over the Empress Dowager's silky body. Soon, he felt her body heat and intense desire in his hands, and he involuntarily swayed his hips back and forth, his penis pounding against her snowy buttocks.

"Ahhh..."

Sweat beaded on the Empress Dowager's forehead as she moaned in ecstasy, her voice soft and breathless. Shyly, she secretly swayed her hips back, welcoming Ertai's advances, making the flesh-on-flesh impact even more real and fulfilling.

Although the movements were very slight, the perceptive Ertai still sensed the Empress Dowager's initiative. He slowly placed one hand to her lips, gently and skillfully caressing her soft, fragrant lips, while his other hand unwrapped her undergarment, not removing it, and reached inside to touch her breasts.

So soft, so smooth, so fragrant!

Ertai grasped the Empress Dowager's breasts with three fingers, pinching her nipples between his thumb and forefinger, gently teasing them with his fingertips. A tingling, numbing sensation caused her nipples to harden, standing erect and alluringly.

"...Ertai... um... don't touch... ah... my nipples are hard... so comfortable... mmm..."

With Ertai's teasing, the Empress Dowager moaned softly, her fragrant lips parting naturally, her rapid breathing accompanied by light, intermittent nibbling at Ertai's fingers. Feeling the wetness on his fingers, Ertai placed his fingers into the Empress Dowager's mouth, chasing her fragrant tongue.

At first, the Empress Dowager was somewhat reserved, shyly pulling her tongue away and dodging Ertai's fingers. But later, as Ertai's other hand teased her breasts more intensely, the aroused Empress Dowager no longer held back, actively touching Ertai's fingers with her tongue. Later, she even used her perfect red tongue to circle Ertai's fingertips and pads, sucking them noisily.

Knowing she was aroused, Ertai smiled smugly. The finger in the Empress Dowager's mouth moved in circles with the rhythm of her greedy licking, while the hand that had been caressing her breasts naturally moved down, pressing against the Empress Dowager's wet genitals through her thin trousers.

"Ah... Ertai... be gentle... don't be so rough... oh..."

The Empress Dowager released Ertai's fingers, tilted her head back forcefully, and rested her head lightly on Ertai's shoulder. She turned her face to face Ertai, and then passionately opened her mouth, chasing after Ertai's lips.

"Ertai... ah... kiss me... I want it..."

Under Ertai's caresses, the Empress Dowager breathed indistinctly, pleading. She stuck out her red tongue, gently sliding it across her lips, stimulating Ertai's nerves.

Seeing the Empress Dowager, who was so proactive, Ertai felt a tingling sensation in his heart. He involuntarily opened his mouth to meet the Empress Dowager's red lips, but the Empress Dowager was still a step ahead of him. Her red tongue nimbly slipped into Ertai's mouth, stirring with Ertai's tongue.

While kissing, Ertai didn't stop what he was doing. After massaging the Empress Dowager's genitals for a while, Ertai placed his slightly damp hand under her nose, mischievously letting her smell his own scent.

Feeling the Empress Dowager's body writhe with shyness, he stopped teasing her and placed his hand on her slender waist, intending to pull down her panties.

"Mmm...mmm..."

The Empress Dowager was deeply absorbed in the kiss, her mouth occasionally emitting soft, sobbing moans. She lifted her snowy buttocks, allowing Ertai to pull down her panties, which hung on her thighs. It was

already wet there. The moment Ertai's hand touched her exposed vulva, the Empress Dowager's body shuddered violently, her full, soft buttocks slamming heavily against Ertai's erect penis.

"Ah..."

The Empress Dowager released Ertai's mouth and groaned in a daze. Ertai's penis was too hard. With just a slight touch through the pants, the Empress Dowager felt as if Ertai's penis had almost pierced her vagina.

“My dear, tell me, do you want my big cock?” Ertai asked with a wicked grin from behind the Empress Dowager.

“…Mmm…” the Empress Dowager replied shyly in a voice so low it was almost inaudible.

“Then I’ll make you feel good, and you shouldn’t forget me either,” Ertai continued.

Hearing Ertai’s words, the Empress Dowager felt deeply ashamed, but still trembled as she reached behind her back, groping for Ertai’s cock pressed against her buttocks. She grasped it and gently began to stroke it up and down.

Ertai half-closed his eyes, enjoying the Empress Dowager’s service, while looking from behind at the beautiful, noble woman he had captivated. At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, her breathing was rapid, and her half-undressed body rose and fell like waves. Her light gauze dress had slipped down to her waist, and her bodice had been pulled up to her waist by Ertai, bunching up together. Her two breasts became firm and swollen with Ertai’s teasing.

"Ertai...give it to me...I want it..." The old lady pleaded, her eyes glazed over, as if in a dream.

Those simple words sent Ertai's nerves tumbling apart. His mind was violently shaken, and his movements became unsteady. One hand continued kneading the old lady's breasts, while the other, which had been on her vulva, bent two fingers and thrust them forcefully into her honeyed passage.

"Ah...so good...so beautiful...mmm...faster...thrust harder...me...mmmmmm..."

The old lady's moans grew more urgent and louder. She remained with her back to Ertai, her snowy buttocks swaying rhythmically with his fingers. Her hand, which had been kneading Ertai's weapon through his trousers, quickly reached for his waist, impulsively pulling down his pants and grasping his erect, reddened member, thrusting urgently and forcefully.

At the same time, her high-pitched moans turned into desperate shouts. Although she bit down hard on the pillowcase, the intense arousal still caused an uncontrollable surge of pleasure to escape from her vagina.

"Ah...ah...ah...so good...dear husband...I'm coming...ah...ah...I'm going to lose it...oh...oh...it's so wonderful..."

Ertai thrust his fingers into the old lady's wet vagina a few times, and her vagina suddenly felt a sharp pain! A stream of warm fluid spurted out from the constantly writhing vaginal opening, followed by a large amount of liquid overflowing and flowing continuously from her vaginal opening, down her plump white buttocks and onto the bed, soaking the sheets.

After the old lady climaxed, she lay limply on the bed, but Ertai's hand continued to thrust forcefully into her honey hole. Gradually, the old lady regained her strength, her whole body surging with electric currents, experiencing wave after wave of pleasure, even a hundred times more intense than before. She couldn't help but cry out.

"Ah... Ertai, give it to me... harder... I want it... I want yours so much... there... I want it inside... ahhh..."

Although his fingers were moving rapidly and his mouth was kissing the Empress Dowager's back frantically, Ertai's ears were still sharp. He heard the Empress Dowager's confused words and teasingly asked, "My dear, what do you want from me?"

"Ah... I hate it... don't embarrass me like that... hurry up and do it... okay... mmm..." The Empress Dowager said in a coquettish voice with a flushed face.

"No, if you don't tell me, I won't move." Ertai threatened with a smile and really stopped what he was doing.

"Ah no... no... no... don't stop... ah..." The Empress Dowager, who was enjoying herself, suddenly felt that the comfortable fullness in her body was gone, and she begged anxiously.

However, Ertai deliberately played tricks and completely withdrew his fingers from the Empress Dowager's vagina. The hand that was stroking the Empress Dowager's breasts also stopped moving.

"Good man...give it to me...please...okay..." The Empress Dowager, already aroused by Ertai, was unwilling to comply. At this moment, she had lost her former arrogance, possessing only the ordinary desire of a woman for her man, yearning for his penis to enter her soft, sweet vagina to relieve her itch.

Ertai knew the Empress Dowager's impatience and teased, "My dear, tell me, what do you want from me?"

"...I...um..." The Empress Dowager blushed and couldn't speak.

"Won't tell me?" Ertai grinned wickedly, inserting his finger back into the Empress Dowager's vagina, but just as she was trembling with pleasure, he abruptly pulled his finger out.

"Ah..."

This teasing was deliberately mischievous; the Empress Dowager had just felt a long-lost pleasure, which then vanished.

"Quickly, tell me, what do you want from me?" Ertai pressed.

"...Mmm...I want...I want...your...flesh...mmm...stick," the old lady stammered, her small hand reaching from her front to her back, touching Ertai's penis with her fingertips. After speaking, she shyly buried her face in the pillow.

"Haha, you want my penis? Then who am I?" Ertai grabbed the old lady's right leg from behind and lifted it up. The old lady eagerly cooperated with Ertai's movements, raising her leg and revealing her ample vulva to Ertai's eyes.

The grass was covered with dew, showing that the old lady was truly unable to control her passion. However, Ertai was still being mischievous. He rubbing the hot tip of his weapon against the outside of the old lady's honey hole, teasing the petals, but refusing to penetrate deep into the passage.

Feeling the throbbing tingling sensation in her lower abdomen, the Empress Dowager swayed her hips, wanting a stronger contact with Ertai's penis. However, this movement only intensified the tingling sensation, making it harder to control.

She turned to Ertai, pleadingly saying in a sweet voice, "Ertai, I've already asked you, please come in, okay?"

"I can come in, but you have to call me husband," Ertai whispered in her ear.

If it weren't for the warmth of his breath, the Empress Dowager would have doubted her hearing. Ertai actually wanted her to call him husband! Even though they had already been intimate, the word "husband" still felt difficult to utter.

"Ertai, I can't say it, is it okay if I don't?" The Empress Dowager turned back, her face flushed, and shyly negotiated with Ertai.

"Sure," Ertai readily agreed. Seeing that he was no longer making things difficult, the Empress Dowager was overjoyed and immediately felt much more relaxed. However, in the blink of an eye, Ertai changed his tone, smiling even more mischievously, and said, "Calling me husband is fine too, haha."

"You little rascal, you always tease me, I'm not talking to you anymore!" The Empress Dowager twisted her body in protest, letting out a coquettish grumble.

"Hmph, you call me a little rascal." Ertai deliberately huffed angrily when the Empress Dowager called him a little rascal, and then desperately rubbed his penis against the Empress Dowager's honey hole, making her wet with lust and panting continuously, but he refused to penetrate her no matter what. The

intense stimulation gave the Empress Dowager wave after wave of pleasure, and she no longer cared about her shyness, panting loudly and intermittently.

"Ertai...are you trying to torture me to death...ah...stop teasing me...oh...I'll call...I'll call, okay..."

the Empress Dowager pleaded. "Good man...stop teasing me...I'll call...husband...like this...ah...is that alright?"

"Alright, good, good Lian'er, good wife, your husband will make you fly to heaven!" Hearing the Empress Dowager call him husband in such a sweet voice, Ertai was overjoyed. He stopped teasing her, grabbed his penis with one hand, aimed it at her wet vulva, and with a thrust of his hips, 'swoosh,' it went all the way in.

"...Ah!"

Ertai thrust violently, his swollen, hot penis rubbing tightly against the narrow, warm walls of her vagina, penetrating straight to the very core of her flower. The intense pleasure was accompanied by an equally intense pain, causing the Empress Dowager to cry out in pain.

"Ertai... ah... be gentle... yours is so big... um... so thick... you're going to put it all the way in... ah... aren't you afraid of killing me..."

The Empress Dowager gave Ertai a reproachful look and said coquettishly, feeling that Ertai's powerful thrusts seemed about to pierce through her snowy buttocks.

Hearing her soft complaint, Ertai deliberately stopped, leaving his huge penis inside the Empress Dowager's vagina without moving.

Sensing that Ertai had stopped, the Empress Dowager, while swaying her hips, said anxiously, "...Um... why did you stop?"

"Didn't you complain that I didn't know my limits? Fine, I won't do it anymore!" Ertai said, looking aggrieved.

"Good man, please, stop torturing me, hurry up, okay? I want..." The Empress Dowager had no longer cared about her dignity as the Empress Dowager, pleading like a wanton woman.

"Alright, then tell me, do you want me to hurry or slow down?" Ertai asked with a smile.

"Hurry up, harder, okay?" the Empress Dowager said urgently.

"Then call me husband, and beg me to hurry up." Ertai pressed on.

"Husband... good husband... please... hurry up and come in... I want... I want you to... thrust into me hard..." The Empress Dowager was completely lost in lust, pleading according to Ertai's demands.

"Then let me thrust into your... there?" Ertai mischievously asked.

"Thrust... thrust into my... my... little... hole... ah... good husband... harder... my little hole... um... so itchy..." The Empress Dowager blushed, begging Ertai to thrust into her hard.

"Then what do you want me to use to thrust into you?" Ertai asked mischievously as always.

"Mmm...use...your...big...big...meat...stick...into me..." The Empress Dowager twisted her body, her little hole rubbing impatiently against Ertai's meat stick.

Seeing that Ertai was only looking at her with a lewd smile, and the meat stick inside her refused to move at all, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but get anxious. She raised her hand,

her little pink fist pounding Ertai's chest, urgently begging him to thrust into her. "Good man...good husband...dear husband...please...please use your...mmm...big meat stick...into your good sister...your good wife...good Lian'er...little honey hole...okay...ah..."

"Oh, my wife, you're so good, don't rush, your husband will make you feel good right now." Hearing the Empress Dowager begging him to fuck her under him, Ertai felt aroused. He kissed the Empress Dowager's flushed face, and then swayed his waist dramatically, thrusting quickly into the Empress Dowager's honey hole.

Having rediscovered long-lost pleasure, the Empress Dowager breathed deeply, feeling as if she were flying. Especially with this rear-entry, side-lying position, her vagina couldn't open wide enough, gripping Ertai's penis even tighter. The friction of flesh against flesh gave her a completely new experience she had never tried before.

"Good girl, good wife, you're so tight..." Ertai teased the Empress Dowager as he thrust rapidly.

Hearing these words, the Empress Dowager, who should have been shy, felt a strange stimulation. Like a little girl praised by her lover, she swayed her hips back and forth more vigorously, meeting Ertai's thrusts. Her eagerness seemed to make her want to devour Ertai's penis forever into her honeyed depths, never wanting to pull it out again. Intoxicated

, she turned her flushed face, her eyes hazy with desire, looking at Ertai, her red lips slightly parted, her soft breaths coming in rapid succession.

“Ertai… harder… yours is so big… it feels so good… faster… I’m coming… ahhh…”

Hearing the Empress Dowager’s desire, Ertai forcefully lifted her already raised right leg, spreading her vulva wide apart. He kept her lying on her side, then knelt down, sitting on the back of her left leg on the bed. He then hoisted her right leg onto his shoulder and began thrusting intensely in a position he had never used before.

'Slap slap slap!'

Ertai’s two small balls dangling from his weapon slapped against the Empress Dowager’s vulva with each thrust, the flesh colliding and producing a series of lewd, crisp sounds.

“Ah Ertai… faster… thrust harder… I… I’m coming… faster… um… oh…”

Feeling waves of intense throbbing in her body, the Empress Dowager tried to straighten her half-turned body, her hands flailing aimlessly, searching for a point of support to release her pent-up desire. Ertai pressed his body down forcefully, his chest touching the Empress Dowager's full, firm breasts. The dazed Empress Dowager grabbed Ertai's neck, pressing his head down towards her large breasts.

Ertai opened his mouth and took her delicate nipple into his mouth, sliding his tongue over it.

"Ertai...bite me...harder...I want you to kiss my nipples...ah...don't stop down there...faster...thrust harder...I'm coming...ah...I'm going to die..."

The Empress Dowager's body convulsed violently. Amidst her frantic writhing and uncontrollable moans, she experienced two blissful orgasms.

After her climax, she collapsed limply onto the soft bed, breathing heavily, powerless to withstand Ertai's relentless onslaught.

Soon, Ertai changed his position. He patted the Empress Dowager's buttocks, making her turn around. The Empress Dowager obediently turned around, raising her snow-white, large buttocks, and knelt in front of Ertai. During this process, Ertai's penis never left the Empress Dowager's honey hole. The flesh rubbed and rotated tightly against flesh. This novel feeling made the Empress Dowager ejaculate again.

"Ertai...you're so good at...ah...doing it...I've never...um...been like this...ah...feeling so good before..."

Before the Empress Dowager could finish speaking, Ertai thrust his waist forward heavily, the glans of his penis shooting straight into the heart of her flower, while her two little balls also slammed heavily against the Empress Dowager's fair, round, snow-white buttocks.

This rear-entry position made the Empress Dowager's already loose vaginal opening tighten, gripping Ertai's weapon tightly. The intense friction brought them both a powerful pleasure, an indescribable, overwhelming urge to release, spreading from their point of union throughout their bodies, leaving them both feeling numb. Ertai gripped the Empress Dowager's

large, jade-like buttocks with both hands, kneading her flesh forcefully. His hips moved rapidly, increasingly violently, deeper and deeper, stirring up waves of intense pleasure within the Empress Dowager's body.

'Slap

slap slap!' 'Gurgle gurgle!'

The sounds of their lewd movements were incessant. Amidst the Empress Dowager's series of cries, pleas, and high-pitched moans of release, Ertai felt a tingling sensation in his waist, while his suddenly enlarged weapon rubbed even more intensely against the walls of the Empress Dowager's vaginal opening.

"Husband...good husband...dear husband...good man...ah...I want...your good Lian'er...good wife wants you...harder...thrust me harder...fuck me...play with me...ah...Lian'er is coming...bad husband...stinky husband...you're so cruel...ah...you want to fuck your good Lian'er...um...to kill...you...only then will you be happy..."

The Empress Dowager swayed her snowy buttocks forcefully, following the rhythm of Ertai's powerful thrusts, while simultaneously reaching one jade hand from under her body to her back, grasping Ertai's two scrotums and rubbing them.

The already extremely hot scrotums became firm and swollen after being rubbed by the Empress Dowager's warm and jade-like palm, and a strong pleasure swirled rapidly, then spread in all directions, instantly reaching every part of her body.

“Ah…ah…big meat stick brother…my cunt is so…so beautiful from your penetration…ah…ah…fuck my little cunt…”

“Ah…ah…my good meat stick…please…please…faster…faster…okay…my…little cunt…cunt…it’s so itchy…please…faster…fuck me…to death…come…come…oh…oh…faster…faster…my little cunt…cunt…it’s so itchy…big meat stick husband…good husband…oh…faster…use your…big meat stick…to…relieve…the…itchy…cunt…ah…harder…a little…oh…my slutty cunt…can’t…take…it…it’s so itchy…”

As the old lady’s high-pitched moans reached their peak, the tingling in Ertai’s body became more and more intense. In the uncontrollable super pleasure, all the essence in Ertai’s body gushed out. The instantly swollen glans throbbed against the flower core, merging the essence into the old lady’s flower bud dew.

...

The rain stopped, and the two men breathed heavily, as if they had been propelled to great heights by the waves and then crashed back onto the beach.

After a while, Ertai got off the Empress Dowager's body, took a white cloth, and wiped away the traces of their battle. Then, Ertai embraced the Empress Dowager, and the two men, naked, cuddled together, caressing each other's bodies and enjoying the afterglow of their climax.

"Ertai, you're getting better and better at this. I'm afraid I won't be able to take it anymore," the Empress Dowager said, her right leg, which had been resting on Ertai's stomach, moved down, her toes, painted with bright red nail polish, gently caressing and teasing Ertai's penis. Then, she rubbed her smooth, delicate instep against Ertai's scrotum.

Ertai's gaze drifted downwards, landing on the Empress Dowager's beautiful feet. Her entire foot was pure white, like a piece of jade; her ankles, soles, and toes were all delicate and white. Especially striking were the bright red rose nail polish on her translucent toes, adding a touch of alluring charm to her almost perfect feet.

As he gazed, a strange thought suddenly occurred to Ertai. He thought of the stockings from his previous life, imagining what it would be like to see the Empress Dowager's beautiful feet and legs wearing flesh-colored or black sheer stockings.

If she were to actually wear them, it would probably cause a momentary lapse in judgment! Thin, delicate feet hidden within flesh-colored sheer stockings would appear even more exquisite and translucent, with perfect curves. Especially the bright red rose pattern on her toes; if it were to shine through the thin stockings, wouldn't it be so captivating that it would make one's nose bleed?

Suddenly, the idea of creating stockings sprouted in his mind.

Seeing Ertai suddenly quiet down, his eyes fixed on her feet that were teasing his penis, the Empress Dowager blushed and asked sweetly, "Ertai, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing?" Ertai snapped out of his thoughts about the stockings, shook his head, and then smiled helplessly. He couldn't very well tell the Empress Dowager that he was thinking about stockings, something she wouldn't understand.

"Oh." Seeing that he didn't answer, the Empress Dowager was a little curious but didn't press him too much. She changed the subject and asked, "Ertai, didn't you have something important to tell me?"

"Something important?" Ertai raised his eyebrows, then slapped his forehead and said exaggeratedly, "It's all because you're so beautiful, Empress Dowager. When I see you, I can only think with my lower body. I've forgotten all about the important matter."

"You're so annoying! What do you mean by thinking with your lower body? How embarrassing! You're not allowed to say such embarrassing things again." The Empress Dowager playfully raised her small fist and hit Ertai, scolding him coquettishly.

Seeing her alluring charm, Ertai almost lost control, even thinking of pinning the Empress Dowager down and serving her. However, this was a serious matter, so he abandoned his playful thoughts and said solemnly, "Lian'er, what I want to tell you is about the poisoning incident last time. I've investigated it thoroughly, and it's related to three people."

"Related to whom?" Hearing Ertai mention the poisoning incident, the Empress Dowager's smile faded, her brows furrowed, and her expression became grave.

"The leader of the Red Lotus Sect, the Fourteenth Prince, and Rong Mama." Ertai's eyes darted around as he replied seriously.

Chapter 067 Eliminating Rong Mama

Ertai rattled off three names in one breath, and the Empress Dowager's surprise deepened. She murmured, repeating, "The leader of the Red Lotus Sect, the Fourteenth Prince, and Rong Mama?"

With each word, the Empress Dowager's heart trembled violently, especially the names of the Fourteenth Prince and Rong Mama, which evoked a mixture of resentment and doubt in her voice. She asked, "What's the connection between these three people?" "

The leader of the Red Lotus Sect is connected to the Fourteenth Prince. As for whether Rong Momo is connected to either of them, it's uncertain yet. However, according to Huazhi and Lin Hai, the persimmon cakes you ate, Lian'er, were indeed sent by the Empress, and the one who poisoned them was none other than Rong Momo herself."

Although he was lying, Ertai remained unfazed. He had long hated Rong Momo, that old hag. Since the Red Lotus Sect wanted to use this opportunity to undermine the Empress Dowager's relationship with the Empress, and Ertai had found out, he would certainly use this opportunity to eliminate Rong Momo and then find a way to extricate the Empress from the matter, making her owe him a favor.

"Rong Momo poisoned me, Ertai, do you have any evidence?" The Empress Dowager's tightly furrowed brows relaxed again. She had experienced too many palace intrigues over the decades; as long as she knew the culprit, she wouldn't be too worried about things like this.

“There is evidence.” Ertai nodded firmly. “According to the Empress’s maid, Huazhi, Rong Momo often secretly met with Lin Hai, and the two were very close. Lin Hai is a member of the Red Lotus Sect. I have already hidden him in my room, and after a secret interrogation, he confessed to being a member of the Red Lotus Sect.”

“Hmm.” The Empress Dowager regained her usual majesty and nodded, then asked, “What about the Red Lotus Sect leader and the Fourteenth Prince?”

Hearing the Empress Dowager’s question, Ertai truthfully replied, “The Red Lotus Sect leader and the Fourteenth Prince are in a relationship of mutual exploitation. According to the plan of this group of rebels, they originally wanted to use the mind-controlling pill to confuse your mind, then manipulate you, use you as a hostage to threaten the Emperor, put the Emperor in a dilemma, and thus force the Emperor to abdicate, support the Emperor’s fourteenth uncle, the Fourteenth Prince, to ascend the throne, and ultimately overthrow the Qing Dynasty.”

"Hmph, what a vicious scheme! But didn't you later say that I also had some kind of hallucinogenic drug in my body? And that when the two poisons were neutralized, it...it worked..." The Empress Dowager asked rhetorically, as for the Half-Step Intoxication of Silver Smile, she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Yes, according to the normal plan, Cuilian should have sprinkled the hallucinogenic drug into the white fungus and lotus seed soup you drank to confuse your mind. As for the hallucinogenic drug, it's also a poison that can cause hallucinations. I suspect that Rong Momo was eager for a big victory and wanted to show her loyalty to the Red Lotus Sect by drugging you. Unfortunately, Cuilian also drugged you at that moment, and when the two drugs were neutralized, it..." Ertai explained.

"Hmm, that makes sense. But how did you find out that Lin Hai was a member of the Red Lotus Sect?" The Empress Dowager asked curiously.

"It's like this..." Ertai recounted yesterday's events to the Empress Dowager, a mix of truth and fiction. "Your Majesty, yesterday I was on patrol when I noticed a strange man in black acting suspiciously, peering around. Soon after, the man in black entered the dense forest behind Xishan Temple. Lin Hai was already waiting there. Upon seeing the man in black, he immediately bowed, calling him 'Master Han,' and referring to himself as his subordinate." "

Then I overheard their conversation. The man in black said that the plot had been exposed, the leader was very angry, and hoped he would continue his efforts to get things done as soon as possible. He also mentioned that the Fourteenth Prince would one day become emperor and share the throne with the Red Lotus Sect, and Lin Hai would be the greatest contributor to the new dynasty."

After listening to Ertai's long explanation, the Empress Dowager digested the information briefly before asking, "You mean the Fourteenth Prince is going to rebel?"

"Yes, judging from their words, that seems to be the case." Ertai nodded firmly. It wasn't that he intentionally framed the Fourteenth Prince, but in his previous life, he had happened to read books and watched TV dramas about the struggle for the throne among the nine princes, and had also heard some unofficial historical rumors, saying that the throne was originally intended to be passed to the Fourteenth Prince, and that Yongzheng colluded with Longkodo to tamper with Kangxi's will.

"Hmph, that bastard! I have long advised the Emperor to get rid of the Fourteenth Prince, but the Emperor always agrees casually and then forgets about it. He says that as long as he treats the Fourteenth Prince with kindness, the Prince will be grateful and will never rebel. Now it seems that the Emperor is raising a tiger to cause future trouble. No, I cannot let the ancestral foundation be ruined in the hands of such a wolfish and ambitious beast as the Fourteenth Prince. I will draft a secret edict for the Emperor to explain the consequences." After hearing Ertai's report, the Empress Dowager said angrily, and made to get up to copy the secret edict.

Ertai hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Lian'er, don't be impulsive. We need to consider this matter carefully. After all, we only have heard and guessed, and we don't have any actual evidence. If you tell the Emperor, he might not believe you. Instead, he might think you're spreading rumors and won't tolerate the survival of a former dynasty's criminal. That wouldn't be good."

"Hmph, he wouldn't dare! I'm his own mother! How dare he disobey me?" The Empress Dowager was furious.

"Lian'er, it's not worth getting so angry over something like this. Be careful not to hurt yourself. I've often heard people say that women who get angry often aren't beautiful. If you're not pretty, I'll..." Ertai comforted her with a mischievous smile.

"I'll what?" The Empress Dowager's eyebrows furrowed, and she raised her fist.

"I'll just not want you anymore." Ertai said playfully.

"Fine, if you don't want me, I'll cut this off of yours, hmph." The Empress Dowager pouted her beautiful red lips like a little girl and started punching Ertai repeatedly.

"Hehe, you smiled! That's more like it. You should smile more often; it makes you even prettier." Ertai dodged the Empress Dowager's playful punches while making witty remarks. The Empress Dowager felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but feigned displeasure and playfully wrestled with Ertai.

The two joked and laughed heartily, completely forgetting their business. Only when they stopped playing around did the Empress Dowager suddenly realize that in her heart, she had completely regarded Ertai as her man. As long as he was by her side, she felt exceptionally secure and didn't have to worry about the intrigues of the palace.

She was shocked. Her trust in Ertai was no less than that of the deceased Emperor Yongzheng and her son Emperor Qianlong. In fact, a hundred words from those two couldn't compare to a single word from Ertai.

“Since I’ve already accepted Ertai as my man, I might as well play the role of a little woman again and let him handle everything,” the Empress Dowager murmured to herself. Then she looked at Ertai and said seriously, “Ertai, you handle this matter.”

“Yes, I will. I will make these rebels receive their due punishment. In particular, I will not let these treacherous bastards harm a single hair on my beloved Lian’er’s head,” Ertai said tenderly, holding the Empress Dowager’s hands.

Seeing his sincerity, the Empress Dowager felt a sweet warmth welling up inside her. She gently rested her beautiful head against Ertai’s chest, rubbing against him, and softly murmured a sweet “Mmm.”

Looking at the Empress Dowager's sweet expression, Ertai bent down and kissed her forehead, then whispered in her ear, "Lian'er, this matter still needs your cooperation..."

Hearing Ertai's idea, the Empress Dowager raised an eyebrow, asking in confusion, "Why warn the Empress?"

"Because the Empress, relying on your favor, has become accustomed to wielding power and acting arrogantly. As a result, she's used to others being subservient to her, and naturally, she's lost her guard. Just like Rong Momo, that Red Lotus Sect rebel, who managed to hide in her palace for so many years without being noticed, allowing this heartless old witch to poison your persimmons with impunity." Ertai viciously sowed discord between the two women in front of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager harbored some suspicions. Rong Momo was the Empress's wet nurse, having been by her side since birth. They were inseparable, like fire and water, with Rong Momo meticulously protecting the Empress and devising strategies for her in countless palace intrigues, ultimately ensuring her victory.

Such a loyal servant would not, in theory, undermine the Empress. Everyone in the palace knew she was the Empress's patron; drugging her would be tantamount to cutting off the Empress's support. Would the shrewd Rong Momo be foolish enough to do something so counterproductive?

No!

Ertai clearly stated that hallucinogenic drugs and mind-altering pills had the same purpose—both were poisons that clouded the mind. Therefore, Rong Momo must have feared that Rong Momo might become dissatisfied with the Empress and stop supporting her, thus losing the Empress's position and potentially causing the Twelfth Prince to lose in the future struggle for the throne. So she devised this insidious plan, intending to use poison to cloud her mind and forever control Rong Momo.

But where did Rong Momo get her hallucinogenic drug? Right, Ertai just mentioned that Rong Momo had close ties with Lin Hai, a member of the Red Lotus Sect, and their relationship was unclear. The hallucinogenic drug likely came from Lin Hai. "

That ruthless old witch," the Empress Dowager cursed inwardly. Having experienced decades of palace intrigue, she had developed a highly suspicious nature. Initially, after hearing Ertai's report, she thought Rong Momo was somewhat wronged, perhaps just caught up in the conspiracy by chance. But after her own examination, she felt that Rong Momo was not only not unjustly accused, but more like a complete planner and instigator.

Many times, many people, many things, cannot withstand close scrutiny!

Out of the instinct for self-preservation, regardless of whether Rong Momo was truly involved in the matter, as long as she threatened her life, she had to be eliminated. This was also the reason why the Empress Dowager was able to rise to the position of Empress Dowager after decades of palace intrigue. The concubines of the previous dynasty who lived in the same era as her had long since lost their lives in the endless palace struggles.

In the deep palace walls where it was either you or me, to live longer than others, you had to be more ruthless than others, eliminating anyone who posed a threat to you before disaster struck.

After thinking it over, the Empress Dowager's gaze turned completely cold. She looked at Ertai and said in an extremely cold voice, "Ertai, do as you say, eliminate Rong Momo, and give the Empress a good warning!"

Chapter 068 Family Banquet Fragrance (Part 1)

Ertai returned to his room, closed the door tightly, went into the inner room, and opened a large red lacquered trunk for storing clothes. Lin Hai was curled up inside, with a black bandage on his mouth, looking at Ertai in fear.

"Damn it, what are you looking at!" Ertai slapped Lin Hai hard across the face, then ripped the tape off his mouth, grabbed a stool, sat opposite Lin Hai, crossed his legs, and leisurely looked at him.

"Second Master Fu, please spare me, I've confessed everything." Lin Hai looked at Ertai pitifully and pleaded.

"Let you go? Are you crazy or am I crazy?" Ertai slapped Lin Hai again. He found that his hands had been itching lately, and he liked to slap people all the time, seemingly enjoying it.

"Second Master Fu—" Thick blood flowed from the corner of Lin Hai's mouth. He looked at Ertai with fear and pleaded weakly, but dared not mention letting him go again, lest he receive another slap from Ertai.

Ertai stood up, walked up to Lin Hai, casually tossed the front of his trousers, raised his right leg and stepped on Lin Hai's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Lin Hai, you are a rebel of the Red Lotus Sect. If I release you, it would be a crime that would implicate nine generations of your family. But if I let you eat and drink for free and live in my room, people will inevitably misunderstand that I am harboring criminals. What do you think I should do?"

After speaking, Ertai's gaze sharpened, and his smile turned into a sinister grin. He pulled a dagger from his robes, drew it, and lightly slid the gleaming blade across his own leg.

Seeing the dagger in Ertai's hand, Lin Hai was horrified. Just moments before, Ertai had used this very dagger to stab a large hole in his thigh, constantly writhing inside. The thought of that excruciating pain filled Lin Hai with terror.

"Second Master Fu—please—don't stab me anymore—I'll die!" Lin Hai trembled, his face filled with pleading.

"Die? Haha, you're going to die sooner or later anyway. Being stabbed to death by me now is your honor." Ertai's smile turned into a chilling, sinister grin.

"No—no—Second Master Fu, please, please don't kill me! I don't want to die, I don't want to die—" Lin Hai pleaded tremblingly.

"You don't want to die?" Ertai grinned maliciously, asking rhetorically, his right hand gripping the dagger as if to stab Lin Hai's wound again.

"No, Master Fu, please have mercy! Don't stab me anymore! Please, please save me! I'll be your slave, your servant!" Seeing the sharp tip of the dagger already touching his wound, Lin Hai shook his head repeatedly in terror.

"Pah! You, a mere member of the Red Lotus Cult, dare to be my slave? You'd better give up." Ertai spat on Lin Hai's face, then changed his tone, sheathing his dagger, pinching his chin, and grinning slyly. "However, if you're willing to atone for your crimes, I might be able to help with the sentencing."

Hearing this, Lin Hai felt like a drowning man grasping at a straw. Ignoring whether the straw could support his weight, he nodded frantically, saying urgently, "Second Master Fu, if you won't let me die, I'll do anything you want. I'll atone for my crimes, I'll abandon the darkness and embrace the light, I'll do whatever you say."

"Oh, you'll do whatever I say?" Ertai's smile deepened. "Then if I let you sleep with Rong Mama, would you agree?"

"What? With Rong Momo—uh—wah—" Hearing Ertai tell him he had to sleep with Rong Momo, Lin Hai almost vomited his dinner from the night before. That old hag, so ugly, he might as well just kill himself.

"What? You don't agree?" Seeing Lin Hai hesitate, Ertai stabbed the dagger he had just retrieved back at the wound on Lin Hai's leg. Lin Hai immediately broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, "I'll sleep with her, I'll sleep with her, Master Fu, please have mercy, or I'll die!"

"Damn it, you don't know what's good for you, you should have agreed earlier." Ertai slapped Lin Hai again.

"Master Fu, now—can you give me some food?" Despite being slapped several times by Ertai, Lin Hai still asked Ertai with a fawning expression, like a lapdog.

"Want some food? Sure." Ertai readily agreed.

"However—" Then, Ertai hesitated, a troubled expression appearing on his face.

Upon hearing Ertai's first words, Lin Hai was overjoyed; he was truly hungry. However, after hearing Ertai's second sentence, his heart leaped into his throat, wondering what mischief Ertai was about to pull.

"Second Master Fu, you—" Lin Hai asked timidly.

Ertai waved his hand, smiling kindly, and casually said, "It's nothing, just a letter from your own hand. You just need to write one, telling your so-called 'Han Chief' which route the Empress Dowager and her ladies will take on their return journey. How about that, simple, right?"

Looking at Ertai's harmless smile, Lin Hai really wanted to get up and pounce on him fiercely, stabbing a thousand holes in his face. What kind of person was this? Wasn't he pushing him to the brink of death? He was a spy planted by the Red Lotus Sect beside the Empress Dowager, and his identity had already been exposed. Yet Ertai wanted him to be a double agent, to turn around and frame the Red Lotus Sect. Even if Ertai let him go after the deed was done, the Red Lotus Sect wouldn't.

But if he didn't agree, judging from Ertai's fierce appearance, he would probably be slowly tortured to death. He had misjudged Ertai; he hadn't expected Ertai to be such a ruthless person.

What should he do? Lin Hai was conflicted.

Seeing that he remained silent, Ertai's smile vanished, his gaze turning fierce as he stared at Lin Hai. He raised the dagger in his hand and said menacingly, "What? Is it hard to decide? Do you want me to decide for you?"

With that, Ertai plunged the dagger into Lin Hai's wound, which had previously bled and festered from his earlier stab. Seeing the sinister glint of the sharp dagger, the immobilized Lin Hai could only weep and plead loudly, "Second Master Fu, I'll listen to you, I promise you, I fucking promise you, okay?!"

"Sure, why not!" Ertai burst into laughter, patted Lin Hai's shoulder, and pinched his cheek with a smile. Suddenly, he used the same hand that had pinched Lin Hai's cheek to slap him across the face. "Damn it, be more civilized when you talk to me next time!"

Then, Ertai found a brush, ink, and paper, personally grinding the ink for Lin Hai. He handed him the brush, which Lin Hai took with trembling hands, writing a few words with even more shaking. Ertai slapped him again, cursing, "Write properly! Are you trying to tip someone off?"

Those with high martial arts skills are more perceptive and can discern the writing style and context from the strokes. Lin Hai was being coerced, and his trembling writing naturally resulted in loose and irregular strokes. Therefore, Ertai's accusation that he was tipping someone off wasn't an exaggeration.

"If you don't behave, I'll cut off pieces of your flesh and feed them to the wild dogs," Ertai coldly shouted.

"I'll write, I'll write properly." Lin Hai stared at Ertai in horror, trying to calm his panicked expression. He firmly grasped the pen and began to write, stroke by stroke. It

was truly difficult for him; it was only a hundred or so characters, yet he had spent two whole hours writing them, his whole body drenched in sweat.

Seeing that he had finished writing, Ertai snatched the letter away, tucked it into his sleeve, then locked Lin Hai in the box, went out, and went to find him the leftover dog food from the temple's pet dog.

"Damn it, that Consort Yu dared to poison me, giving you dog food is too good for you!" Ertai cursed viciously in his heart.

...

In the blink of an eye, the day of return was approaching. The Empress Dowager summoned the concubines and princesses who had accompanied her for a family banquet, and Ertai was fortunate enough to be present.

The imperial family was very particular about etiquette. The Empress Dowager sat in the center, with the Empress, the head of the harem, sitting to the Empress Dowager's left. Consort Yu, the Noble Consort who had held the title for the longest time, sat to the Empress Dowager's right. Consort Zhen sat to the Empress's left, and Consort Ling, the Noble Consort with the shortest tenure, sat to Consort Yu's left. Ertai was placed next to Consort Ling by the Empress Dowager. Originally, given his qualifications, he should have been seated at the very end, but the Empress Dowager's high regard for Ertai left no one to comment, though their gazes towards him held a slightly complex expression.

Qing'er, the Ninth Princess, and the Twelfth Prince's seating arrangements were more casual, all in lower positions without any particular hierarchy.

This was Ertai's first time being surrounded by flowers. To his left was Consort Ling, further to his left were Consort Yu and the Empress Dowager, opposite him were the Empress and Consort Zhen, to his right was the delicate Qing'er, and behind her was the tender Ninth Princess.

Greedily inhaling the fragrance emanating from the concubines and princesses, Ertai's mind began to wander, his heart itching, and a large tent bulged in his crotch. Fortunately, his clothes were loose, concealing most of the embarrassing bulge.

Once the food and wine were served, the Empress Dowager spoke, "I specially invited you all here today to spend time with you. You have all worked hard accompanying me in praying for the Qing Dynasty and for the people."

The concubines quickly replied, "It is our honor to accompany Your Majesty in praying for the Qing Dynasty and its people. If anyone has worked hard, it is Your Majesty who has truly worked hard."

After the pleasantries, the Empress raised her wine cup and, on behalf of the Empress, said, "Your Majesty, your concubine and my sisters and I would like to offer you a toast to thank you for your protection over the years. I often tell my sisters and I that our Qing Dynasty cannot be without Emperor Qianlong, and our harem cannot be without Your Majesty."

Seeing the Empress begin, the concubines and princesses hurriedly raised their cups, looking respectfully at the Empress. However, their expressions varied as they glanced at the Empress.

Consort Zhen's expression was one of deep disdain and mockery, clearly accusing her of flattery. Consort Yu's lips curled into a cold smile, indicating a long-standing feud with the Empress. This was understandable, as the Fifth Prince and the Twelfth Prince were the frontrunners for the throne. Consort Ling, on the other hand, appeared calm. This was partly due to her gentle nature, partly because the Fifteenth Prince had not yet been born, and partly because the Empress was merely jealous of Consort Ling's favor, not harboring any deep hatred towards her.

Ertai also picked up his wine cup, but his gaze was fixed on Consort Zhen with interest. She was undeniably beautiful, with a charming and alluring appearance. However, she was none other than a spy planted in the palace by the Red Lotus Sect. Ertai, however, didn't mention this to the Empress Dowager; he always dealt with beautiful female spies privately.

Consort Zhen seemed to sense Ertai's piercing gaze and turned her head sharply, looking at him with suspicion. Seeing her look at him, Ertai gave her a faint smile, seemingly casual. However, the perceptive Consort Zhen was startled and secretly pondered the meaning behind Ertai's smile.

This was how it was in the palace; everyone wore a mask, and everyone was deeply suspicious. Even a simple smile would be scrutinized for a long time, as if a sharp knife was hidden within it.

Moreover, Consort Zhen's status was inherently sensitive, and she was extra cautious with every step she took, daring not to make even the slightest mistake. Therefore, her suspicion was a hundred or a thousand times greater than that of any concubine with a simpler background who was merely vying for favor through jealousy and backstabbing.

However, this time, she had indeed been somewhat suspicious of him. Ertai's smile was merely his way of greeting a beautiful woman.

After a slight pause, Consort Zhen gave Ertai a reserved smile, then looked away and continued to watch the Empress Dowager.

After finishing a toast, the Empress Dowager elegantly dabbed her red lips with a handkerchief, then looked at the Empress and casually asked, "Empress, where is Rong Momo? Why haven't I seen her come?"

Chapter 69 Family Banquet Fragrance (Part Two)

Rong Momo was an old nanny in the palace. She had been the Empress's wet nurse since birth. After the Empress married into the palace, Rong Momo became the Empress's personal maid and confidante. The Empress Dowager and the other concubines knew her very well. To a large extent, Rong Momo was the Empress's representative. Seeing that she was suddenly not by the Empress's side, it was no wonder that the Empress Dowager asked this question.

In fact, the concubines and princesses present were also secretly wondering why the Empress hadn't brought Rong Momo with her, but they didn't ask too many questions. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager asked.

Hearing the Empress Dowager's question, everyone turned to look at the Empress. The Empress forced a smile onto her serious face, her expression slightly unnatural. After a pause, she replied, "Your Majesty, Rong Mama came in feeling unwell. She just had a bad cough, and I was afraid she would infect Your Majesty and the ladies, so I let her go to bed early."

In her heart, however, she thought, "Rong Mama isn't sick at all. It's just strange; she's usually very robust, but today she's sleeping so soundly, I can't wake her no matter what I do."

"Oh, Rong Mama has always worked hard taking care of you; she's a model servant. Since she's sick, I'll go see her later," the Empress Dowager said with a smile to the Empress.

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words, everyone present, except for Ertai, was stunned. No one had expected that the Empress Dowager, the mother of the nation, would suggest visiting a servant.

The implications of this were likely more complex than a simple show of the Empress Dowager's concern for her servants. It was probably a signal to the Empress and all the other concubines that the Empress remained her most trusted confidante, even showing extraordinary care for a mere maidservant. The concubines

, though somewhat jealous of the Empress Dowager's favor towards the Empress and her open support, all wore slightly ingratiating smiles, flattering the Empress Dowager, saying, "Your Majesty, your concern for your servants is a model for me." The

Empress, however, was surprised but also smug. She proudly puffed out her chest, surveying the crowd with a condescending air.

But when her gaze fell upon Ertai, her smugness vanished. She clearly saw a faint mockery on Ertai's face, mixed with a wicked smile she had seen twice before.

"What does Ertai mean? Why did he give me that wicked smile again?" The Empress's heart pounded. From her two encounters with Ertai, whenever he gave her that wicked smile, something big was bound to happen.

But no matter how hard the Empress racked her brains, she would never have imagined that this time it would involve her most trusted confidante, Rong Momo.

Ertai knew perfectly well why Rong Momo wasn't there. If he hadn't secretly put an excessive amount of 'sleeping pills' in Rong Momo's food, why wouldn't she come?

"The show is about to begin," Ertai thought to himself, and then a wicked smile naturally appeared on his face.

Soon, the topic of Rong Momo came to an end. The Empress Dowager and the ladies, brothers, and princes drank, ate, and chatted happily. Gradually, the atmosphere of the banquet became lively. Although everyone was a little reserved due to the Empress Dowager's usual sternness, they had long since lost their initial restraint.

Seeing that the group was engrossed in their lively conversation and no one was paying attention to Ertai, he secretly winked mischievously at the Empress Dowager and Consort Yu. However, one was the Empress Dowager and the other a Noble Consort, and despite having slept with Ertai, they still had to maintain their composure in public. They turned their heads away, their expressions slightly unnatural, avoiding Ertai's annoying gaze.

Ertai didn't seem to care, chuckling to himself, and then began to devour his food. He would pick at the food on his left, then on his right. Because everyone was sitting around a round table, and with so many people, the space was rather cramped. Every time Ertai ate, his arm inevitably brushed against Consort Ling and Qing'er's arms, and sometimes, it would even lightly glide across their soft, high breasts.

He was having a great time! He was thoroughly enjoying himself!

Because it was a family banquet, the atmosphere gradually relaxed after some wine. The ladies-in-waiting, centered around the Empress Dowager, chatted about national affairs and topics within the harem, while the princesses and princes, focusing on Ertai, their subject, asked all sorts of questions. Ertai, being a modern man, had many novel things he remembered that people in ancient times didn't know.

"Ertai, tell me quickly! What's the answer to the riddle? Don't keep me in suspense like this!"

It was Qing'er who spoke, her voice sweet and cloying, almost making Ertai's heart melt. At this moment, Qing'er's pretty face was flushed with a playful blush from the alcohol, making her extremely beautiful. She wrapped her arms around Ertai's arm, shaking it repeatedly, coaxing him to tell her the answer.

As she moved, her breasts bounced and rubbed against Ertai's elbow, making him feel a tingling, itchy sensation. He longed to hold Qing'er in his arms and knead her breasts.

However, with everyone present, Ertai couldn't be too arrogant. Reluctantly, he shifted his gaze from Qing'er's breasts, only to be met with an exquisitely beautiful face. The owner of this unbelievably beautiful face was none other than Consort Ling's eldest daughter, the Ninth Princess. She looked at Ertai expectantly, her large, watery eyes filled with adoration.

"You really want to know?" Ertai asked Qing'er and the Ninth Princess, feigning mystery.

"I want to! Oh, please tell me! You're driving me crazy with anticipation!" Qing'er cooed, shaking Ertai's arm, her beautiful eyes blinking as if she were flirting.

"That's right, Ertai brother, please tell me! I want to know the answer!" Ninth Princess leaned closer, placing her small, delicate hands on Ertai's arm and mimicking Qing'er's shaking motion, though because she was weak, it looked more like she was caressing Ertai.

"Please, Ertai brother, good brother, please tell me!" Ninth Princess pouted her bright red lips, especially the phrase "good brother," which sounded exactly like what a woman who had been with Ertai would say during sex. Ertai's manhood was indeed hard.

"Alright, I'll tell you the answer. Don't feel inferior, the answer is actually very simple," Ertai said with a smile.

It turned out that the riddle he had given Qing'er and Ninth Princess was just a simple joke from his previous life. As modern people, anyone who wasn't too stupid could probably guess it.

The riddle is: Who is Rice's mother? Who is Rice's father? Who is Rice's maternal grandmother? Who is Rice's maternal grandfather? And who is Rice's husband?

However, for the simple-minded people of ancient times, such riddles were truly their Achilles' heel. Seeing Qing'er and Ninth Princess's anxious expressions, Ertai was quite pleased with himself, thinking, "Everyone says Qing'er is incredibly clever, proficient in poetry, songs, and couplets, yet she's stumped by my simple riddle!"

Ertai, beaming with pride, shook his head and said, "Rice's mother is a flower, Rice's father is a butterfly, Rice's maternal grandmother is a magic pen, Rice's maternal grandfather is popcorn, and Rice's husband... well, he was a mouse."

"Ah?" Upon hearing Ertai's answer, Qing'er and Ninth Princess's eyes widened, their heads filled with stars, dizzy and bewildered, looking at Ertai with blank expressions, expecting his explanation.

Ertai smiled even more smugly and explained, "Think about it, peanut, the mother of rice is flower, right? And butterfly in love with flower, the father of rice is naturally butterfly, right? A magic pen creates flowers, so isn't the grandmother of rice a magic pen? Popcorn, if you break it down, 'hugs' rice and 'hugs' flower, so isn't the grandfather of rice popcorn? And as for the husband of rice, it's even easier to explain, mice love rice, hahaha."

"Ah?" After hearing Ertai's explanation, Qing'er and Ninth Princess's mouths, already wide open in surprise, widened even further, almost big enough to fit two eggs. The two looked at Ertai exaggeratedly, their faces full of frustration.

"Sigh, I'm so stupid, how could I not have thought of such a simple answer?" Ninth Princess pouted her red lips in frustration, raised her little jade hand and gently patted her head, secretly blaming herself for being so stupid.

Qing'er, however, gazed intently at Ertai, her eyes filled with admiration and even a hint of affection. A few days ago, Ertai had taught her about astrology, a field she had never explored before. Although she didn't say anything outwardly, she secretly admired Ertai's extensive knowledge and remarkable memory.

On countless beautiful nights, she had secretly fantasized about a prince charming, skilled in both literature and martial arts, who would lead her hand into a mysterious and blissful bridal chamber, where they would live a carefree life as husband and mother, like a divine couple.

Wasn't Ertai the prince charming she longed for? Qing'er's heart fluttered, like a deer's, and when she looked at Ertai again, a blush of shyness rose to her cheeks.

Qing'er's change did not escape Ertai's notice. He couldn't help but feel very proud, and wanting to add to the excitement, he continued, "Shall we play another riddle?"

"Okay,"

Qing'er said shyly, while Ninth Princess clapped her hands excitedly. Even the Empress Dowager and the others, seeing Ertai's lively conversation, stopped talking and looked at him.

Ertai became even more smug, and racked his brains to think of another riddle: There's a coconut tree. A monkey, an orangutan, and a baboon climb the tree together to pick bananas. Who gets them first?

"I know, I know, the monkey gets them first!" Ninth Princess eagerly interjected before Ertai could finish speaking, her little face full of excitement. "Because the monkey is small and climbs fast."

"I guess it's the baboon," Consort Yu thought for a moment and said.

"Oh, why?" Ertai smiled and looked at Consort Yu, expecting her explanation. Unexpectedly, Consort Yu shrugged and laughed, saying, "I was just guessing, I don't know why, hehe."

"Then what do you think, Your Majesty?" Ertai looked at the Empress Dowager again.

"It should be a monkey, I guess." The Empress Dowager happily chimed in.

"That's right, I said it's a monkey." Seeing that the Empress Dowager gave the same answer as her, Ninth Princess immediately danced with excitement.

"I think it's an orangutan." It was actually the Empress who spoke, which was truly unexpected. Under normal circumstances, the Empress was the more serious type of person and rarely willing to join in the fun.

However, this was a family banquet, and the atmosphere was finally lively, so Ertai smiled and looked at the Empress, respectfully asking, "Your Majesty, why did you guess it's an orangutan?"

The Empress glanced at Ertai, then said lightly, "Orangutans are strong and can kill monkeys and baboons. There's no need to compete with those two little things; they can naturally pick the bananas."

As she said this, the Empress's gaze swept over the faces of Consort Yu, Consort Ling, and Consort Zhen.

Knowing there was a hidden meaning in her words, the others weren't too concerned. The Empress was always flamboyant, and everyone was used to it. However, Consort Zhen seemed determined to go against her, retorting, "I guess the monkey or the baboon will get the bananas first. Your Majesty is right, gorillas are large, but that's both an advantage and a disadvantage. Because of their size, they're easier for hunters to shoot, aren't they? So, the only ones left competing for the bananas are the monkey and the baboon?"

"Hmph." Hearing Consort Zhen's sarcastic and barbed retort, the Empress snorted and turned her head away, refusing to look at Consort Zhen's foxy face, which she found utterly repulsive.

Seeing the lively atmosphere about to be ruined, Ertai quickly smoothed things over, asking Consort Ling, "Consort Ling, who do you think got the bananas first?" Ertai deliberately emphasized the word "banana."

"This..." Consort Ling didn't realize Ertai was hinting at her. After thinking seriously for a moment, she said, "I guess it's a monkey, after all, it's small."

"Yay!" Hearing her mother's affirmation, Ninth Princess became even more excited.

"I also guess it's a monkey." Twelfth Prince, who hadn't said much until now, spoke up.

Everyone except Qing'er gave an answer. Ertai then looked at Qing'er and asked, "Qing'er, what do you think?"

"Huh? What?" Qing'er, lost in thought, suddenly heard Ertai ask her a question and hurriedly came back to her senses. Seeing everyone's eyes on her, a blush quickly rose to her cheeks. She lowered her head shyly and pursed her red lips.

Noticing Qing'er's unease and apprehension, Ertai helped her out. He repeated the question, emphasizing the pronunciation of 'coconut tree' and 'banana'. The quick-witted Qing'er immediately understood and said with a grin, "Hehe, no one can pick the banana."

"Why?" everyone asked in unison.

"Hehe, because how can there be bananas on a coconut tree?" Qing'er explained sweetly.

"Ah?" Everyone blushed instantly, then turned their anger towards Ertai, saying that he was really naughty, giving such a tricky riddle that no one could guess. They then praised Qing'er for being clever.

Qing'er felt both proud and embarrassed, and also a little strange. Why had she suddenly spaced out? Why was she thinking about the sweet moments with Ertai? Why did her usually clever mind seem to short-circuit in front of him? Could it be...?

She didn't dare to think any further; her face was already completely red.
