Chapter 118 -s 114 and 115: The Unemotional Emperor

Chapter 118: Chapters 114 and 115: The Unemotional EmperorLi Wan nestled in Ye Qiu’s embrace, her face flushed with shyness, yet her heart swelled with pride. This is a man of great prestige in the Hong Dynasty, yet he still falls under the sway of her pomegranate skirt?

"Your Majesty." Li Wan looked up at Ye Qiu, her vermilion beauty mark more vivid than ever, her eyes sending waves of gentle flirtation.

Ye Qiu slowly stripped away her clothes. Li Wan’s hands were restless, already climbing up Ye Qiu’s neck, her lips breathing out as soft as orchids: "Emperor, I am cold."

"Congratulations, Host, on achieving the ’Three Days of Exclusive Favor’ title."

Li Wan lounged in the hot spring, her eyelids drooping lazily, suddenly a voice echoed in her mind, and a faint smile crept across her lips.

She is Li Wan, yet not the Li Wan of this world. She is a time traveler who accidentally bound to the "Conquer Emperor" System. Every time she conquered an emperor, her body would become perfect in one aspect. Ye Qiu was her fifth target.

In the past, she gained "Skin like Jello," "Charming Eyes," "inviting aroma," and "Voice Like a Pearl" from the emperors she had conquered, but still, it was not enough. She was not yet satisfied with her figure. This time, should she opt for "Waist like a thin snake" or "Slender Legs"?

Even if she couldn’t exchange those achievements, Li Wan still tirelessly traveled through various worlds, finding special satisfaction in conquering their most prestigious men.

Especially in this world. Emperor Ye Qiu, young and robust, handsome, and particularly talented in certain aspects, made it hard for her to let him ruin his empire and leave this world.

Indeed, Li Wan’s system enforced a strict rule; she must cause an emperor to lose his empire to complete her task.

Li Wan’s slender fingers idly stirred the water as she heard footsteps approaching, and her lips curled slightly, her voice temptingly soft: "Your Majesty, won’t you come down and join your concubine in the bath?"

For eight consecutive days, Ye Qiu had summoned Rong Jieyu to his bed, disregarding both the recently chosen concubines and former favored ones. This naturally led to dissatisfaction among others in the harem, where they dared not question the Emperor and could only blame the ’demoness.’

Ironically, because she was currently in favor, Ye Qiu had exempted Li Wan from morning greetings. She would sleep in Yangxin Hall until nearly noon and not step out in the evenings, leaving the other members of the harem at a loss on how to handle her.

This day happened to be Noble Princess Consort Xiao’s birthday. Even the Empress went to Ganquan Palace to offer congratulations. This time, Li Wan had no excuse. Between a previously highly favored concubine and a recently exclusively favored lady, the members of the harem were all ready for a spectacle.

Especially Xiao Ke, who thought herself smarter than others and had come with great ambitions to be chosen. But before she had a chance to appear before the Emperor, her aspirations were stolen by another, and Xiao Ke couldn’t accept this.

Over these days, she subtly insinuated to Noble Princess Consort Xiao about Rong Jieyu’s exclusive favor, planning to one day use Noble Princess Consort Xiao’s influence to eliminate this formidable rival, thereby removing two competitors and relying on her beauty and intelligence to eventually capture the Emperor’s favor.

Tonight, Xiao Ke had dressed particularly well, knowing that no matter how busy the Emperor was, he would visit Ganquan Palace for Noble Princess Consort Xiao’s birthday, if only to honor the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister.

But clearly, she had overestimated her charm; even without Li Wan, both Xiao Rou and Xiao Zi overshadowed her in beauty.

"The Empress arrives!"

"Noble Consort is indeed radiant today." Li Yanlan smiled as she entered, looking at the array of young concubines below, nodding slightly with a dignified air. Even her gentle smile didn’t permit the concubines to overstep, who respectfully performed their salutations.

"Greetings to the Empress."

"All rise."

Li Yanlan glanced around, surprised, "How so, Rong Jieyu hasn’t arrived yet?"

Noble Princess Consort Xiao heard this and immediately felt uneasy, her expression darkening: "She’s in the height of favor now. Not just me, but even you, Empress, she probably doesn’t regard highly."

Li Yanlan glanced at her amusedly, noting she had learned to insinuate indirectly.

However, she didn’t engage in that narrative. Rong Jieyu was indeed late, but if she were to punish her for this while the Emperor was doting on her, how would he view her, the Empress?

As they mused in silence, Rong Jieyu finally arrived, fashionably
