"Wash up for better health, Your Majesty shouldn’t be so polite with me."
Chen Mo lifted the Empress off her feet and strode towards the bath.
"Who’s being polite with you? What nonsense are you spouting... Put me down now!" The Empress flopped like a live fish on the shore, unable to break free.
She didn’t dare to shout too loudly; if she really attracted the royal guards, they might chop this brazen scoundrel into dumpling stuffing...
Entering the mist-covered Xuanqing Pool.
The Empress resignedly stopped struggling, whispering, "Even if we’re to bathe together, you should at least let me change clothes first?"
"Alright."
Chen Mo nodded, putting the Empress down.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, she lifted her skirt and ran.
Just as she arrived at the door, a surge of True Yuan slammed the door shut with a "bang."
"Where does Your Majesty intend to go? Isn’t this place suitable for changing clothes?" Chen Mo teased.
"..."
The Empress turned around, leaning her back against the door.
Seeing the man approach slowly, she gulped nervously, stammering, "I-I warn you, don’t do anything rash, or I’ll really call for help!"
Chen Mo reached her, lifted her chin with his fingers, and smiled, "How about you call for help a couple of times, let me hear?"
The Empress bit her lip, turned her head away, and displayed a posture of defiant humiliation.
"Doesn’t Your Majesty like it?" Chen Mo blinked, saying, "It wasn’t like this at Zhao Hua Palace..."
"Still talking! It’s all because of you!" Hearing this, the Empress couldn’t hold back, stomping on him angrily, "You always bully me, letting you... like that, and yet you keep pushing your luck, truly incorrigible!"
Seeing the Empress really getting anxious, Chen Mo didn’t dare tease anymore, waving his hand, "I was just joking. Your Majesty, go ahead and wash, I’ll guard outside."
With that, he opened the door and walked out.
The Empress finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Though their relationship was very close, bathing together was still too much for her to bear.
After all, this meant exposing the last of their secrets entirely...
Little did she know, Chen Mo had bathed with her before, though back then it was underwater...
The Empress approached the floor-length mirror, reaching up to undo the buttons of her gown.
The luxurious palace gown cascaded like clouds, revealing rounded shoulders and a delicate collarbone.
The gaze followed the curves downward, belly flat, waist too slim to grasp, accentuating her already voluptuous hips, exuding a mature and alluring charm.
"Seems I’ve grown fatter again lately..."
The Empress pondered, looking somewhat troubled.
She tried to restrain herself, eating only small portions, yet the weight kept piling on.
Especially after confirming her relationship with the little thief, she became even more curvaceous; recently made skirts from the Clothing Bureau now seemed a bit tight...
"But the little thief seems to like it."
Thinking of Chen Mo’s dazzled and entranced gaze whenever he looked at her, the Empress’ face involuntarily blushed, silently cursing, "Who knows what’s always on this man’s mind..."
