Under the bright red light, the dazzling palace was as warm as the morning glow. Even under the cover of the snow and the onslaught of the cold wind, it was hard to conceal the jubilation in his eyes.

Although there were yet to be any masters within the gardens, they were all brightly lit, illuminating the harem as if it were day.

Within these palaces, the memorial hall was the brightest. It was the same as the Emperor's Qian Qing Palace, a sleeping room made of white jade. The floor was covered with flickering lights that were dyed gold. In the middle of the floor, the new empress, Dongfang Ziqing, who was originally sitting on a phoenix bed waiting for the arrival of the emperor, bit her rosy lips as she angrily stared at the door.

The reason for this was none other than because the emperor, Xuanyuan Chenmo, had arrived at the beginning of the eleventh hour and was still in his new chambers. Instead, he had continued to review the imperial study!

"Damn it!" Stomping her feet, Dongfang Ziqing flung her long sleeves and shouted: "All of you, stay here. No one is allowed to follow me."

After he had finished speaking, Dongfang Ziqing walked out of the Yi Yuan Palace without a care for the palace attendants' reply. She then strode out of the palace.

Who made the rule that only men could take the initiative on a wedding night? As the only woman in the imperial harem, she wanted to 'provoke' the Emperor first and see what he could do to her.

Growing up together with Xuanyuan Chen Mo, relying on her childhood sweetheart, Dongfang Ziqing seemed to have forgotten a very serious matter. The man she married was not an ordinary man, but the ruler of a country.

After walking through a few corridors, Dongfang Ziqing quickly walked over. She had already casually tossed over several bright red robes. Who told her to have fifteen layers of clothing at the back? If she had come to the Yi Palace and stayed even further away from the emperor's study, she might have even taken off her inner clothes.

"This lowly servant pays his respects to the empress." Seeing that Dongfang Ziqing had arrived, the guards and eunuchs at the entrance of the imperial study hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects. He didn't dare to neglect his new master in the slightest.

"The Emperor is still inside?" Standing still, Dong Fang Qing Qing asked with a sweet smile.

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison.

"En." Dong Fang Zi Qing nodded her head. She casually said 'no' as she looked at the tightly shut door. Her big watery eyes suddenly squinted, making it hard for others to see what she was thinking.

"Esteemed Empress, do you want this servant to notify you?" As a eunuch of the imperial study, Bi Yuntian asked fawningly as soon as she stood up.

"Do I need to report as well?" Blinking her long eyelashes, Dongfang Ziqing pretended not to understand as she asked.

"Ugh …" Hearing Dongfang Ziqing's gentle words, Bi Xun felt a chill on his back. A cold breeze blew across his back, scaring him to the point that his face turned green.

When Dongfang Ziqing was still not the empress, every corner of the palace was like Dongfang Ziqing's boudoir, there was no need to inform anyone where they were going. Right now, Dongfang Ziqing is already the queen, probably... There was no need to report anything.

Realizing that his bootlick had landed on the horse's leg, Bing Gong quickly bowed to make way and continued his duty as a gatekeeper. As for whether the empress went in or not, that wasn't something he could control as a servant.

He shouldn't even ask.

"Hur hur." "What?" Seeing that Bi Xun was frightened, Dongfang Ziqing chuckled. She was in a great mood. I won't be eating you, so what are you afraid of me doing? "

Although she loved to tease people, Dongfang Ziqing was not the type of person who loved to punish servants. This was the first time someone was afraid of her and found her fun.

"Esteemed Empress …" He didn't know how to respond. He respectfully knelt on the ground and quickly bowed while begging for forgiveness, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Your servant understands. Your servant understands."

"Not interesting." With a wave of Yun Xiu, Dongfang Ziqing's good mood was completely wiped away by that domineering manner. I didn't say that you did anything wrong. It's very fun to kneel down at any time! "

With a snort, Dongfang Ziqing lifted her skirt, crossed over the bounty on the ground, and pushed open the door into the royal study. Dongfang Ziqing didn't pay much attention to the man who was wiping off his cold sweat.

Standing at the doorway and hearing the sound of the door closing behind her, Dongfang Ziqing suddenly stood up with her hands on her hips and glared furiously at Xuanyuan Chenmo who was sitting high up on the dragon throne. However, the anger in her eyes gradually faded as she looked at Xuanyuan Chen Mo's helpless and doting smile.

Although Dongfang Ziqing was still trying her best to pretend that she was' very angry ', no matter how she tried, she still couldn't muster any anger.

"Sigh!" After letting out a low sigh, Dongfang Ziqing let go of her arms and let them naturally hang to her sides. She looked at Xuanyuan Chenmo with an aggrieved gaze and pouted her small mouth, feeling wronged once again. Big Brother Emperor, have you forgotten what day it is today? "

She intentionally shook off the long skirt on her body as she asked softly.

"How could I forget!" Like Dongfang Ziqing, Xuanyuan Chen Mo shook his wide sleeves embroidered with red and waved his hand at Dongfang Ziqing, gesturing for her to walk over.

Today was the day of their wedding, and also the day of Xue'er's death, the first step in his quest to unify the imperial power!

On such a day, he, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, was naturally more clear of it than anyone else.

He awkwardly walked towards Xuanyuan Chen Mo. Although Dongfang Ziqing was looking forward to approaching Xuanyuan Chen Mo with her heavy makeup on, she was still a little angry that Xuanyuan Chen Mo would rather stay in the royal study than look for her in the sleeping quarters.

"But …" Gritting her lips, Dongfang Zi Qing said in a sad voice, "Brother Emperor would rather stay here and read the imperial report alone than to look for Qing Er. Do you hate Qing Er?"

"When has This Emperor ever hated you?" Clenching his eyebrows, Xuanyuan Chen Mo pretended to be deep in thought for a while before speaking in an extremely serious tone, "I have never been angry even when Qing'er had been teasing me over and over again. I still look like the Prime Minister begging for mercy. Don't punish Qing'er!" As he said this, Xuanyuan Chen Mo's large hand reached towards his waist, pointed to the ugly bag on his waist, and said, "Look, even this ugly bag that you can't see anyone, I keep it by my waist every day, afraid that the little girl who has a crush on me won't understand how I feel about her!"

"Big brother Emperor!" Hearing the serious expression on Xuanyuan Chen Mo's face and hearing the teasing words of his, Dongfang Ziqing's face turned crimson red. She took a step forward and reached out her hand to snatch the money pouch from Xuanyuan Chen Mo's waist. "Since you're so ugly that you can't see anyone, Big Brother Emperor should return it to Qing Er."

"How can that be!" He forcefully pressed his pocket along with Dong Fang Zi Qing's hand on his waist, and Xuanyuan Chen Mo whispered into Dong Fang Zi Qing's ear, "This is a proof that a certain girl has a crush on me, how can the empress snatch it away! "My little girl will be heartbroken."

"How can I be so heartbroken!" Brother Emperor, stop putting gold on your face! " Dongfang Ziqing's cheeks looked as if they were on fire. She wanted to take them back, but Xuanyuan Chen Mo grabbed her tightly. "Big brother Emperor …"

She raised her gaze and bumped into Xuanyuan Chen Mo's dark eyes. Dongfang Ziqing could no longer move her gaze away. She could only look coquettishly into those eyes that seemed to know how to speak, unable to extricate herself …

"Qing Er …" Sighing softly, Xuanyuan Chen Mo stretched out his arm and pulled Dong Fang Zi Qing into his embrace, allowing her to sit on his knee. Holding Dong Dong Dong Zi Qing's big hand, he said reluctantly, "Qing Er, look at this imperial report on the table and you will understand why I can't go to your sleeping quarters."
