"Alright, what nonsense are you talking about!"
The Empress hurriedly covered his lips, scolding playfully, "Just speak normally. Why suddenly swear an oath; it makes people nervous."
Seeing him so candid, she relaxed quite a bit.
The main reason being Chen Mo really did nothing last night; they kissed when dawn broke, so his confidence was this strong...
He held her delicate hand, smiling, "Could it be that Your Highness is jealous?"
"This Empress is indeed jealous, so what?" The Empress cast him a sidelong glance, feeling slightly aggrieved, "You keep saying you like me, yet you turn around and kiss Zhu’er. What do you take me for?"
Chen Mo remained silent, extending his arm to pull her into his embrace.
The Empress offered no resistance, resting in his arms, murmuring sullenly, "I’ve been reduced to this by you; if you dare wrong me, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the fishes..."
Chen Mo said earnestly, "Your Highness is the apple of my eye. Even if I wrong the world, I’ll never wrong Your Highness."
"Hmph, apple of your eye, so cheesy!"
The Empress spat lightly, her cheeks blushing, though the corner of her lips arching uncontrollably.
The two embraced quietly.
After a while, the Empress sighed softly.
Chen Mo inquired, "Why does Your Highness sigh?"
The Empress said helplessly, "Zhu’er is devoted to you. I can’t really show my face and fight her over a man, can I? What do you say we should do?"
Chen Mo felt a bit guilty, thickening his skin, saying, "I will defer to Your Highness’s arrangements."
The Empress glared at him, annoyed, "You’re really slick, reaping all the benefits while making me out to be the villain."
Chen Mo chuckled awkwardly.
The Empress frowned in thought for a long time, then said, "Zhu’er’s emotions are still unstable. If we provoke her now, there’s no telling what foolish things she might do... It’s better to keep her calm for now, and when her feelings for you gradually fade, we’ll find an opportunity to resolve it."
Chen Mo nodded, "Understood, I’ll restrain myself with Lin Catcher, and we’ll deal with other matters later."
Seeing him agree so readily, the Empress felt something wasn’t quite right but couldn’t figure it out immediately.
Chen Mo blinked, saying, "Considering how obedient I am, shouldn’t Your Highness show some appreciation?"
The Empress raised her brows slightly, "What else do you want?"
Chen Mo lowered his head, gazing at her red lips, and asked, "What flavor is the lipstick Your Highness uses?"
"..."
"Hmph, I knew you had bad intentions..."
Though the Empress spoke, she quietly closed her eyes.
Chen Mo, seeing this, naturally understood and leaned down to capture her lips, savoring them meticulously.
...
...
Early in the morning, Ye Zi’e arrived at the Frozen Sky Palace to report the government office’s current situation to Her Majesty the Consort.
