Duan Changchuan and Bai Su held each other’s hands and sent her to the entrance of the Qing Lu Palace. The stairs were narrow and only allowed one person to pass through. They could only walk up one after the other.

When they were about to reach the door, Duan Changchuan stopped and reminded her, “We’re here.”

The woman turned around.

The candlelight shone from behind the two of them, reflecting moving shadows on the wall.

“Can I take off the cloth?” She pointed to her eyes and asked.

“Yes,” he said.

The woman let go of him and raised her hand to untie the knot tied to the back of her head.

The white silk cloth fell down in circles.

She accidentally touched the hairpin on the top of her head … Immediately, her hair fell like a waterfall, long and thin, falling on her narrow waist.

“Come here.” She curved her lips and looked at him as she said.

Duan Changchuan obeyed and asked in confusion, “What are you doing?”

He looked up and saw that the woman had already opened her arms and said to him, “Come and hug me.”

Her voice was light, gentle, and full of smiles.

The young man couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

“Aren’t you going to hug me?” Seeing that he didn’t move, she asked with a smile.

The young man’s curved and dark eyes looked at each other as he stepped up the stone steps.

After that, his arms wrapped around her narrow waist.

The two of them hugged each other … The separated shadows on the wall merged into one.

A memory suddenly surged into Duan Changchuan’s mind …

It seemed that he was also in such a dark place with a candle flame.

When he was young, he had just woken up. In his daze, he heard his father and mother whispering to each other. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Imperial Father hugging Imperial Mother.

His mother was nestled in his father’s arms. His father’s arms were around her and stroking her hair. A memory that had faded for a long time …

When he recalled it again, he remembered it clearly.

He even remembered that it was a small conversation between them. It seemed to be …

His father smiled faintly and said, “You’re already a mother. Why are you still acting coquettishly in front of me?”

His mother said, “I’m a mother, but this concubine had just passed my eighteenth birthday. It’s fine if I put on the airs of the empress in front of others, but do I have to do that in front of Your Majesty … Besides, this concubine just wants Your Majesty to hug me. It’s not a loss of dignity.”

“Alright, you can hug me as long as you want …” At that time, his father said so.

The memories gradually faded away …

Duan Changchuan couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the woman’s arm.

“So, when she wants to hug me, she’s actually acting coquettishly with me?”

That’s right … She was a frail girl who was only twenty-one years old.

It wasn’t easy for her to get out of the palace, but she didn’t get to play anything interesting. Instead, she suffered a lot.

“I am her husband. I should be more considerate and give her a sense of security.”

With that thought in mind, Duan Zhangchuan lifted his chin slightly and inched closer to her …

His lips landed on her cheek, leaving behind a light kiss.

“After I bathe tonight, I will come to your Qing Lu Palace for a seat. You … remember to be prepared to … receive me.”

He hesitated for a long time before he finally spoke. Both of his ears were flushed red under the candlelight.

Hearing the woman’s soft laughter, she said, “This concubine awaits Your Majesty’s arrival.”

She seemed to be exceptionally happy.

Duan Changchuan responded in a low voice, then released her and opened the secret passage.

The door opened silently …

Light shone in from the outside, and a light breeze blew in.

“Go back. See you later.”

“Okay, see you later.”

–

At night.

After nightfall, in the bathroom near Ming Sheng Hall.

The large pool was steaming … Fresh hot water flowed through the pipes, making splashing sounds.

Duan Changchuan sat alone by the pool, his skin steaming into a beautiful, translucent red color.

“Sigh …” The young man let out a long sigh and quietly sank down, letting the water pass through his nose and mouth.

Troubled.

Why did he say something like “go to Qing Lu Palace for a seat” in a moment of hot-headedness …

Now, Bai Su must have already started preparing to receive him. After he went over if he really just sat down …

Uh, wouldn’t he be said that “he couldn’t do it”?

Or perhaps Bai Su didn’t know that “go over and sit down” meant that he wanted to give her a dragon heir?

But who in the palace wasn’t a shrewd person? Just a slight hint from Bai Su, the others could tell her what it meant.

His Majesty, who hadn’t had sex since he was born, was even more nervous than a little girl who was experiencing human affairs for the first time.

Originally, he wanted to use the drawing book the instructor gave him to review before going over … Who knew that the drawing book only drew up to the “undressing” part and then there was nothing after that?

He wanted to tear the book up on the spot.

Oh my illustrations teacher, why did you stop abruptly after undressing?

Did he not know how to undress someone?! He clearly didn’t know the rest of the steps!

He didn’t know if Bai Su would …

He felt that right now he was like a poor student who didn’t learn anything well and placed his hopes on the classmate sitting next to him when he was tested by the teacher in school.

Thinking like this, the youth couldn’t help but sigh with a bitter expression.

“Your Majesty, are you done? Imperial Physician Fang warned that you shouldn’t soak in the spring water for too long. Now that the time it takes to burn a stick of incense has passed, it’s not good for your body to soak any longer.”

Chang Le stood far away at the door and reminded him.

Duan Changchuan stood up helplessly and said, “I’m going out now.”

“Forget it, I’ll have to do it sooner or later. It’s better to do it earlier, it’s better than not knowing anything at this age …”

The youth silently comforted himself.

After putting on his coat, he walked out of the door.

“Pass on my decree, set up for Qing Lu Palace.” He said.

Announcements were passed down one after another.

“His Majesty set up for Qing Lu Palace!”

“The Emperor is set up for Qing Lu Palace!”

–

It was different from before when he went over while taking a stroll or quietly went over while sleepwalking. This time, Duan Changchuan “set up” a carriage to announce to the world, I’m going to visit the empress.

A young man in bright yellow robes sat on a tall carriage.

There were as many as a hundred palace servants accompanying him. They were divided into two rows and walked quietly. They went all the way to Green Heron Palace.

The attendants and servant girls passed through layer by layer and stepped into the main hall … They saw a person wearing only pure white undergarments hastily coming out of the bedroom.

There was still water vapor on her body that hadn’t dried yet, and the fragrance of flowers filled his nose.

“This concubine respectfully welcomes Your Majesty.” The woman bent her knees slightly and made a shallow courtesy.

“No need for formalities.” The young man’s voice was steady, and he waved everyone back. “There’s no need to serve. You can all leave.”

Immediately, all the attendants retreated like a tide.

The door closed with a creak.

Only Duan Changchuan and Bai Su were left in the empty hall.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Qing Lu Palace had changed a bit. In the large hall, there was a large display cabinet. On the cabinet were thick and thin thread-bound books. They were sorted and placed neatly.

As for the various types of porcelain and jade that were previously used as decorations, only four or five of them were left. They were placed on the table and the coffee table.

The entire room didn’t look like a woman’s bedroom, but more like a scholar’s study.

“You’ve been reading a lot recently?” Duan Changchuan stood in front of the bookcase and scanned through it.

The woman stood behind him and replied gently, “I have nothing to do every day, so I just read some books. I read four or five books and gained a lot of knowledge.”

Duan Changchuan casually picked up a copy of “The Analects of Confucius”.

There were some traces of use in the book, so Bai Su should have seen it before. Unexpectedly, there weren’t any special comments on it. Instead, there were some strange symbols that he couldn’t understand.

There were markings from the first page to the last page. There were more markings in the beginning, but they gradually decreased toward the end. However, there were still one or two markings on each page.

“What is this?”

He couldn’t hold back his curiosity and pointed at the strange symbols on the book, asking, “Is this some kind of special mark? I see that there are more markings in the front, but not in the back … Is the content in the front more stimulating?”

Bai Su looked in the direction he was pointing at.

When she saw the rows of pinyin letters, she was speechless, “…”

She had read the Analects of Confucius directly after reading the Three Character Classic of the Thousand Character Classic. At that time, she was still illiterate and couldn’t recognize many words, so she put pinyin in the Analects of Confucius …

It wasn’t easy for an “elementary school kid” who was still trying to learn to read at such an old age.

How could the prideful Alpha seriously explain such a dark history?

She simply closed the book and pretended to be profound, “This is a kind of profound symbol … You’ll know later.”

Then, she put the book back on the shelf.

She patted his head, “Okay, you have a headache from the political discussions of those people during the day. Do you still want to talk to me about the Analects of Confucius at night? Let your brain rest.”

The young man said softly, “Oh,” and then let her lead him back to the bedroom.

“It’s already seven at night, isn’t it time for you to sleep? How do you want to sleep?”

The woman asked in a natural voice.

When Duan Changchuan heard the question, his mood, which had already calmed down, suddenly became nervous again.

“How do you want to sleep …”

Did she mean to throw the question back to him?

She wanted to … do what he wanted?

That’s right … He was the emperor, so of course, they had to do what he wanted.

Thinking of this, the young man cleared his throat and said, “Uh, help me take off my clothes first …”

When he spoke, his voice was dry, and it was almost written all over his face.

The woman let out a breathy laugh and indulgently said, “Okay.” She then stepped forward and took off his robe.

The gold-embroidered dragon robe was hung to the side. Duan Changchuan sat on the edge of the bed and waited nervously.

Bai Su took off his pendant and necklace …

Bai Su took off his shoes …

Bai Su removed the hairpin for him.

After that, there were no more movements.

Duan Changchuan continued to sit and wait. After waiting for a long time, he still didn’t get what he wanted …

A few question marks appeared in his head: ???

When he looked up, the woman was sizing him up.

His heart couldn’t help but tighten, “You … what are you looking at?”

“Let’s see if there’s anything else you haven’t served well. I’ve already taken off everything that needs to be taken off.”

Duan Changchuan looked at his intact underwear …

He was very confused.

Although he didn’t know much about this, he at least knew that when two people were consummate, clothes couldn’t be worn.

How could Bai Su not know such simple common sense?

He felt very much like …

Uh, he was like a poor student who didn’t know anything. He placed all his hopes on the classmate sitting next to him, only to find out that the classmate sitting next to him was worse than him.

This feeling … was similar to being struck by five bolts of lightning.

“Clothes … my clothes, continue to take it off.”

He stuttered as he gave the order, feeling even more nervous …

Do I have to take the lead later?

What did the Instructor Nanny teach back then …

The young and inexperienced teenager felt uneasy as he frantically flipped through the “little yellow sketchbook”.

“You should first use that … then use that … and finally do that. Maybe, perhaps, probably, that’s it?”

Forget it, I’m talented. I’m so smart, I can definitely get real knowledge out of practice!

Duan Changchuan secretly encouraged himself in his heart …

Suddenly, a gorgeous face appeared in front of him.

Only then did he realize that it was Bai Su who was half-squatting in front of him. Her long and beautiful eyes were looking at him inquisitively.

He leaned back almost reflexively.

“You … Why are you looking at me instead of taking off my clothes?”

The next moment, the woman slowly got up and moved closer to him.

Her slender fingers gently landed on his lapel and slowly moved downwards, finally stopping at his lower abdomen.

“Duan Xiaochuan, do you want it?”

Her voice was breathy, and the last syllable was slightly raised …

When she spoke, there was an unconcealable smile in her dark eyes.

Duan Changchuan only felt a gust of hot air flowing from the person’s fingertips to his lower abdomen, making him feel numb …

It went all the way to his tailbone.

“I … I’m here to have you serve me in bed. Of … Of course, I want it …”

He said. Even his voice was trembling.

“Oh, so you’re here to have me serve you in bed …”

The smile in the woman’s eyes deepened. She slowly moved closer to him. With one arm on the bed, half of her body was propped up on top of him.

Her other hand went through his waist and gently tugged at his belt …

As the knot was untied, the clothes on his body slid down uncontrollably.

He saw that his collar was getting wider and wider, and even his collarbone was beginning to be exposed …

He hurriedly reached out and pulled his collar. He was flustered …

The side of his ear was gently scalded by something soft.

“Does Your Majesty know who I am?”

In the midst of the panic, he heard Bai Su ask.

The young man looked up, puzzled, “Of course, I know … You’re the Prime Minister’s concubine’s daughter. You’re married in place of your sister. Now, you’re my Empress. I know what it means to order you to serve me in bed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the pressure in front of him disappeared.

A shallow laugh came from the side of his scalded ear.

The woman got up, held his collar, and said, “I’ll help Your Majesty put on his clothes.”

Duan Changchuan, “……?”

Why did she …?

“Don’t you … want a royal heir? You have no one to rely on in the palace. If you can give birth to a royal heir, no one in the palace will dare to bully you anymore.”

“Bai Su, don’t you want a royal heir? I can give it to you.”

The young man’s dark eyes were full of doubts.

He did not understand … Bai Su had already married him and said that she would stand on his side.

Why did she not want to child when he wanted to give it to her?

But the woman just obediently dressed him.

Her gaze fell deeply on his stomach … She said, “I do want a royal heir, and I want it very much … But not now.”

“Be good, you’re not ready yet. I’m afraid I’ll scare you.”

She said this.

Duan Changchuan was even more confused: ???
