Chapter 683 The Empress Regnant’s Enchanting Consort (15)
Proofreader/editor: Jane
As expected; how could she let him off?
Could it be that, for wealth and power, he wanted to be subordinate to others and curry favor with a woman he didn’t like?
“Lord Feng? The attendant urged .
Feng Yunian coldly looked at her . “Is tonight the night of serving in bed?”
The attendant said: “Yes . This is something worth celebrating, ah . ”
Feng Yunian slowly got up, covering the frosty ridicule in his eyes with a smile that wasn’t a smile .
“Indeed, it’s something worth celebrating, so it is better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously1 . ”
These words were ice cold, without the least bit of happiness or joy .
Bai Weiwei sneezed and rubbed her nose . “This one, that one, and who else? All one hundred and thirty-five men in the palace, including those in the Cold Palace2, will be released . ”
The official kneeling below immediately paled with fright . “Your Majesty, this is against custom . ”
Bai Weiwei’s face was devoid of expression . “Zhen is the custom . You have three days to have those who should roll, roll . ”
The original host was a workaholic .
This was because a new dynasty had just been established . The beacons of war were lit in the east today, and a rebellion followed the next day in the west .
Therefore, she was too busy to visit the rear palace .
Those men waited anxiously but didn’t expect the ruler’s imperial edict to send them away from the palace .
It was simply an exploded pot3 .
Because these men mostly had a good family background, many were the beloved sons of essential officials in court, waiting to become emperor4 .
This made them somewhat willing to leave .
One of the ministers5 kowtowed and said: “Your Majesty, if they didn’t serve well, asking to please grant them pardon . ”
Bai Weiwei glanced at the time . It was dark .
Her time was precious, and she didn’t want to spend it on these unimportant people .
She got up, ready to leave . Her voice was frosty . “Zhen has never seen them . What serving or not serving? Do not let such words be passed around . Perhaps you think that zhen is very inconsistent and licentious6 . ”
The official knelt . “Asking Your Majesty to retract the decree . ”
Bai Weiwei lifted her foot to move . “If you want to kneel, then kneel, but zhen does not care for midnight snacks7 . They helplessly watched the Bai Weiwei walkout .
Suddenly, she stopped . The officials watched her with too pitiful gazes .
But only heard Bai Weiwei’s warm voice, “Zhen does not need a rear palace . In this life, zhen only needs one person . He is worth the world . ”

With that, she left .
Leaving behind a pile of kneeling officials who didn’t eat midnight snacks .
Bai Weiwei perfectly showed off, then returned to the resting chambers .
She entered the resting chambers and noticed that the attendants weren’t present . She called out softly, “Yunian?”
A cold wind blew from the windows, and the candlelight flickered . A slender, indistinct silhouette lay on the bed .
Bai Weiwei approached and pulled open the gauze curtain .
His back was turned to her . He wore a thin robe, and his long and toned legs peeked out from beneath .
Her body stiffened .
He suddenly turned around . The robe was not tied and was wide open .
The man’s white chest was exposed . With a jade-like complexion, the scene was full of enticement .
He gave her a faint glance, his lips pursed . He suddenly revealed an unnatural but alluring smile .
“Your Majesty, does what you see please you? Yunian will serve Your Majesty tonight . ”
Bai Weiwei and the system: “…”

Feng Yunian’s brows furrowed, correctly showing an expression that evoked people’s pity and protective instincts .
“Your Majesty, am I not beautiful?”
Bai Weiwei looked at the thick rouge powder on his face, all the blush on his cheeks .
Then she looked at the peony hairpin over his ear .
If others wore this, it would be so hideous it could make ghosts cry .
But unexpectedly, he could break the mold and not have such a shocking effect .
Bai Weiwei noticed his icy expression . Fearing that his favorability would fall, she could only crush her conscience and aesthetic sense into dregs .
Then she spoke each word with a bitter expression: “Beautiful, you are the most beautiful . ”
Feng Yunian smiled . He stretched out a hand and pulled her onto the bed .
“Asking Your Majesty to treat Yunian carefully . ”
Bai Weiwei desperately reached out to the system . “Tongzi, I can’t gnaw on big red cheeks, ah . ”
Then silently turned away .
Too spicy eyes, it didn’t dare to look .
