Xie Yunting didn’t like others being so close to him . He reached up to push her away .
But when his fingers touched her soft and warm body, she seemed to be a little uncomfortable . She gasped faintly .
Seeing this, wicked thoughts resurfaced in his mind .
Xie Yunting’s face was black . He clenched his fist, his ears burning red .
And then, as though running away from something, he pushed Bai Weiwei to the ground .
He turned and walked, his footsteps messy .
【Ding . The male lead’s favorability has increased to -5 . 】
Bai Weiwei was still asleep . When she was drunk, even beating drums and gongs wouldn’t wake her .
Xie Yunting returned to his room . The eunuch waiting for him looked up and seeing his cold face, and a pair of cold, ferocious eyes .
The eunuch was too afraid to say anything .

Xie Yunting said, “I want to bathe . ”
He hesitated and then said, “With cold water . ”
He thought it would be better to bathe in cold water . In the end, he tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep that night .
With much difficulty he waited until dawn, squinting for a moment .
He dreamed of the little emperor, slowly untying her clothes, her red lips and watery eyes, her body deliciously tender and lovely .
He woke up with a start .
And so did his lower body .
Xie Yunting’s face changed, and he looked down at his spirited lower half .
Was he…
A cut sleeve?

Bai Weiwei yawned as she left for morning court .
Two dragon thrones . One for her, and one for the supervising Tai Fu .
Of course, the Tai Fu turned the chair’s dragon into a jiao1, but his ambition was clear .
When she arrived, Xie Yunting was already seated in the jiao long chair, his face dark to a terrifying degree .
Seeing her approaching, his eyes shot out swords of ice .
Bai Weiwei’s face was also black, her face completely not good .
The atmosphere in the court was very depressing . The civil and military officials were also cautious and dared not speak .
After they finished talking about major national affairs, they finally came across some safer topics .
For example, this year’s winter snow hunt .

The imperial family held a snow hunt every year . This year was quite chaotic because Xie Yunting rebelled and was now using the son of heaven to deceive the public2 .
It led to many processes being ignored .
But the emperor was still alive, so these ceremonies must be carried out .
A minister also asked for the emperor’s opinion .
Bai Weiwei, who had been idly chatting with the system, didn’t respond for a moment .
Xie Yunting thought she had not heard, and coldly repeated the minister’s words .
“Your Majesty, what preparations do you need for this year’s snow hunt?”
Bai Weiwei’s eyes were even colder . “Is this not Tai Fu’s matter? We’re already half dead, what else can I prepare but a coffin . ”
While drunk yesterday, the expression in her eyes was full of worship and admiration, soft and warm .
But now sober today, the expression in her eyes was burning with vitriol .
In contrast, Xie Yunting, who had previously not cared about the little emperor’s feelings, actually felt dissatisfied .
Xie Yunting snorted . “It seems that the emperor is feeling tired . Shall this official send you on your journey?”
Bai Weiwei smacked the dragon throne . “Send then, send . If you don’t, you’re a coward3 . We see you eyeing the dragon throne with burning red eyes . Why not just cut us down now, sit on the throne and forget about it . ”
She was angry, and her voice was firm, as cold as stone .
Xie Yunting thought back to yesterday, her soft palm against his fingers .
“Tai Fu, sign this for us, we will treasure it . ”
When sober, not half as gentle as last night .
This hatred and desire to go against fate .
1: 龙 vs . 蛟: 龙 (long) is the classic Chinese dragon . It symbolizes power and sometimes is even used to describe the emperor himself (or herself, in this case) . The 蛟 (jiao/jiaolong) is sometimes known as a “scaled dragon . ” While it, too, is powerful (the dictionary calls is a legendary dragon that can control rain and floods), it is not a symbol of imperial authority like the long . ↩
2: 一手遮天 lit . hide the sky with one hand . To hide the truth from the masses . ↩
3: BWW actually calls XYT a turtle LOL since, you know, turtles shrink into their shells when threatened/afraid↩
