Chapter 207 Palace Intrigue World: A Harem Pierced Through Like a Sickle VS An Awakened Emperor with
Su Jinyue is just a normal girl with emotions and desires. The only thing that's out of line is that she's a bit unruly and doesn't respect him much.
But with such a vibrant presence by his side, Xiao Jing'an's previously lifeless heart slowly began to be infected by her.
Living in the palace where there is no family affection, and with his mother dying young, Xiao Jing'an matured early and had to plan carefully for his own life.
He had long since lost the capacity for emotion, and even though by a twist of fate he eventually became emperor, Xiao Jing'an could never relax for a moment.
Only with Su Jinyue could Xiao Jing'an relax a little.
Xiao Jing'an's hand, which was pressed under Su Jinyue's cheek, moved its fingertips and gently stroked Su Jinyue's cheek.
Regardless of why Su Jinyue appeared here, now that she has provoked him, Xiao Jing'an will not allow her to leave!
In this life, she, Su Jinyue, can only belong to him, Xiao Jingan!
Xiao Jing'an was still gazing intently at Su Jinyue's sleeping face when Li Derang suddenly appeared in a corner of the palace. He quietly approached Xiao Jing'an, about to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Jing'an.
Xiao Jing'an carefully withdrew his hand, covered Su Jinyue with the quilt again, and then lowered the bed curtains back down.
After carefully inspecting the area and finding nothing amiss, Xiao Jing'an turned and left.
Once outside, Xiao Jing'an turned to look at Li Derang, who then dared to speak.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has arrived and is waiting for you in the main hall."
Upon hearing that the Empress had suddenly arrived, Xiao Jing'an frowned, but his steps were already heading towards the front hall.
"The Empress? Did she say what she wanted to see me about?"
Li Derang followed behind Xiao Jing'an and quickly replied, "Her Majesty the Empress did not tell this old servant the specific reason, but from what Her Majesty said, it seems that she came about the matter of the New Year's banquet in the palace."
"Hmm." Upon hearing that this was the reason for the Empress's visit, Xiao Jing'an remained noncommittal.
Jiang Lingyao is reborn. In her two lives, she has been the empress for nearly 20 years, yet she still can't preside over a single New Year's banquet.
Xiao Jing'an didn't believe that Jiang Lingyao had come for this reason alone.
However, Jiang Lingyao had come to Qianqing Palace, so she must have had a legitimate reason. Xiao Jing'an could not refuse to see the Empress without a cause.
Moreover, Xiao Jing'an didn't believe that Jiang Lingyao, as the Empress, would find a legitimate reason to see him just for something like that in bed.
This was, after all, the Qianqing Palace, his territory. Jiang Lingyao wouldn't be so presumptuous, Xiao Jing'an was still somewhat confident.
However, Xiao Jing'an forgot one thing: Jiang Lingyao was, after all, cheated.
In matters between men and women, Jiang Lingyao is not good at taking the initiative, but her system can deal with Xiao Jing'an and make him take the initiative.
Emperor Xiao Jing'an suddenly developed feelings for his wife. Could Jiang Lingyao refuse? Could the eunuchs of Qianqing Palace stop him without authorization?
Even if it meant indulging in debauchery in broad daylight, Jiang Lingyao didn't care about anything else. She only needed one legitimate encounter with Xiao Jing'an, just this once, and that would be enough for her!
Moreover, this is the Qianqing Palace. Even Xiao Jing'an wouldn't want such a thing as daytime debauchery to get out. If it happened, Xiao Jing'an would definitely try to cover it up immediately.
That's enough. So what if Xiao Jing'an gets angry afterward and stops contacting her?
Jiang Lingyao didn't care about Xiao Jing'an's feelings at all!
Jiang Lingyao, who was waiting for Xiao Jing'an in the front hall, reviewed her plan again and felt that it was perfect and that she would definitely succeed this time.
When Xiao Jing'an turned around from behind, he saw Jiang Lingyao's upturned lips.
Xiao Jing'an felt a chill run down his spine; it seemed the visitor was up to no good.
Xiao Jing'an entered with a normal expression. Upon hearing the noise, Jiang Lingyao naturally stood up and bowed to Xiao Jing'an.
"No need for formalities," Xiao Jing'an said, sitting imposingly in the main seat and looking up at Jiang Lingyao. "What brings the Empress here?"
Jiang Lingyao lowered her eyes, suppressing the surging disgust in her heart, stood up, and spoke with a slight smile.
"Your Majesty, I have come to discuss the matter of the New Year's banquet." Jiang Lingyao looked at Xiao Jing'an with deep affection and said jokingly, "Your Majesty has not visited me for a long time. I dare not presume to handle such an important matter, so I have come to trouble Your Majesty."
Jiang Lingyao's words were ostensibly a joke, but in reality, she was complaining that Xiao Jing'an didn't come to see her, hoping to make Xiao Jing'an feel guilty towards her.
Xiao Jing'an understood what Jiang Lingyao meant, but he also knew her background. He didn't take her complaints to heart at all.
Jiang Lingyao's words were either spoken in vain or not.
Such behavior not only disgusted himself but also Xiao Jing'an, causing great harm to the enemy while inflicting heavy losses on himself, but it was still somewhat effective.
Jiang Lingyao couldn't continue her lament after saying just this one sentence, and she turned to the important matter of her trip.
"Your Majesty, this year is the first year of mourning, so we cannot refer to previous years. This is the first time I have prepared a palace banquet of this scale. The Empress Dowager has also instructed me to consider everything carefully and do everything perfectly."
"I have made some lists, but I am still hesitant and unable to make a final decision. That is why I have come to trouble Your Majesty..."
As Jiang Lingyao spoke, she handed the list she had brought to Xiao Jing'an and pointed out the parts that were uncertain to him.
Xiao Jing'an understood that Jiang Lingyao was talking about serious matters. If it weren't for such an urgent and important matter, Jiang Lingyao wouldn't have come to him so openly.
Although Xiao Jing'an was still wary of Jiang Lingyao, he was captivated by what she was saying during their discussion.
Jiang Lingyao looked at Xiao Jing'an, who was holding the sheet and deep in thought, and a subtle smile appeared on her lips.
"System, exchange for the 'Fox Demon's Allure' item and use it on Xiao Jing'an."
Jiang Lingyao had made thorough preparations before coming; she had applied aphrodisiacs to her body powder and the list of names.
With the addition of the system's items, Jiang Lingyao refused to believe that Xiao Jing'an could escape!
Empress Dowager Development System: [Ding! Successfully redeemed the 'Fox Demon's Allure' item and successfully deployed it to Xiao Jing'an.]
The sudden system notification startled Xiao Jing'an awake. Had Jiang Lingyao made her move?
The allure of a fox spirit? That doesn't sound good at all. Xiao Jing'an gritted his teeth. Jiang Lingyao, you really dare to do that!
The prop was successfully deployed, and Xiao Jing'an clearly felt that he was being controlled again, just like when he was controlled by Consort Chun Ruan Ruolan's system prop outside the Empress's palace.
Xiao Jing'an could feel himself losing control of his reason, feeling that Jiang Lingyao was becoming more and more beautiful and alluring.
The rational Xiao Jing'an was forced to relinquish control of his body, and could only let his desires take over.
