Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

"See the Queen Mother."

Immediately afterwards, a hint of clear blue appeared behind Qinghe, and Xia Zhiyuan stood under the red wall with a smile on her face.

She bowed to the two people who were playing chess. Although she looked pale and a little sick, her spirit did not seem that of someone who had been ill for a long time.

On the contrary, it is full of vitality and enviable.

"I've met Empress Dowager De."

Instead, Defei became interested, clapped her hands and stood up.

The clothes she wore today had a little color, but they were plain clothes after all, but they added a sense of freshness.

"Why, did His Highness send you here?"

"Lin'er, that girl, has a big mouth. She has to order people around like this. She is becoming less gentle and less ladylike as she grows older."

"I don't know who she learned this from, but she doesn't look like her mother at all."

Listening to Concubine De scolding His Highness, Xia Zhiyuan just found it funny. So this is how His Highness is viewed by the ladies?

It's really cute.

"Su Xin, please stop talking nonsense."

"After Changlin knows about this, he might punish you with two more days of confinement."

The Queen Mother was happy and at ease. Countless concubines came and went in her palace every day to pay their respects to her, and the daughter of the Xia family was not a big deal.

What's more, this was instructed by His Highness himself.

Naturally, she had to do her best to live up to His Highness's instructions.

"I don't care. We haven't had a new person in the palace for a long time. I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Finally, I got one. I don't care so much~"

"Come and play with your sisters."

Concubine De stepped forward and reached out to grab Xia Zhiyuan's wrist. She was wearing several sachets on her body, which exuded a lingering and refreshing fragrance that was very pleasant to smell.

Her fingertips were cold, but Defei was even more enthusiastic than the last time they met in His Highness's bedroom. For a moment, Xia Zhiyuan was a little at a loss.

"What are you staring at, Miss Xia?"

"She's so pretty. If she were as boring as Changlin, it would be a waste of her talent."

She pinched Xia Zhiyuan's cheek with her other hand, applying a little force, with a smile in her eyes, obviously with ulterior motives.

"System, can I apply to check my sexual orientation? I seriously doubt that Concubine De is not straight!"

Feeling his cheek being rubbed by the ruthless big hands, Xia Zhiyuan frowned but did not resist Defei's touching.

After all, she had just arrived at the Cining Palace and was unfamiliar with the place. If she came into conflict with Empress Defei right away, wouldn't she be walking into a trap?

"Congratulations, host. You have finally become smart and open-minded. Ancient people were not as conservative as the host thought. With such a large harem, even if the emperor wanted to treat everyone equally, he would be powerless. Therefore, the ladies in the palace are fond of polishing mirrors to comfort the lonely nights~"

Xia Zhiyuan was speechless. What did it mean to be more open-minded? Now he was the one being treated like pork on the chopping board!

"No, you didn't say there are side quests in the strategy system!"

"Could it be... my side quest is to get along well with the ladies in the harem? Let me think about it, it doesn't seem impossible."

"Host, you think too much. How could such a good thing happen to you~"

"However, our capture system will not interfere with the host's choice. As long as you are a master of time management and can prevent your capture target from finding out, then it is not impossible~"

"Okay, Su Xin, stop being like this. You scared the kid right away."

The Queen Mother stood up and walked over. Then Qiu Tong, who had been following Xia Zhiyuan, walked to the Queen Mother's side and stretched out her hands to support her.

"This morning, when His Highness came to pay his respects to my family at the Cining Palace, he made it clear."

"I already know everything."

"I have already arranged for Qiu Tong to send someone to clean your place. I think the bedding and other things have been prepared."

"Want to take a look?"

Hearing that the Queen Mother had already prepared everything for him, Xia Zhiyuan nodded. He didn't bring much with him when he moved in today.

But His Highness seemed to be worried, so he sent a few more people and called for a few boxes, and neatly sorted out a lot of useful and useless things and stuffed them all in.

"Your Highness, I just moved your bedroom to the Cining Palace, it's not really making room."

"Or does your Highness mean that you don't want Zhiyuan to come back?"

Xia Zhiyuan put her arms around Zhao Changlin's waist and whispered softly into his ear. She was like a boneless cat, scolding her owner for cleaning up her nest.

Zhao Changlin leaned on the couch, and turned her eyes away from the pile of unprocessed memorials. Her red lips slightly parted, looking bright and charming.

A pair of eyes sparkling as he looked at Xia Zhiyuan's fair and soft face, his heart distracted.

Their faces were so close that even their heartbeats and breathing could be heard clearly. They were indistinguishable from each other, as if they were one and the same.

"I can't bear to part with it. I really can't bear to part with it..."

But what if I can’t bear to let go?

"But your safety is more important. Stay with me... There are too many dangers. Once the remaining followers of King Wen are wiped out..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Changlin's eyes were covered by a soft palm, and then his nose smelled the scent of Xia Zhiyuan, a lingering fragrance.

Their bodies were close together, their skin touching.

A warm feeling came from his lips, and Xia Zhiyuan, as if doing something naughty on purpose, gently held Zhao Changlin's lower lip and swallowed the rest of Zhao Changlin's words.

Not a single word left.

With his body leaning against the couch, Zhao Changlin was caught off guard by the kiss. His face flushed and his heart was pounding.

She seemed to be able to feel the crabapple branch carved from pear wood behind her spreading onto her skin.

Xia Zhiyuan was much more skilled than before, and in a short while he had almost used up all the oxygen between his lips and teeth.

Not leaving a single bit.

His hands were a little weak, but he could barely hold her waist.

Zhao Changlin was afraid that Xia Zhiyuan would fall down accidentally because he was too engrossed in his work, which would be a huge loss.

The bridge of their noses touched and it was slightly painful, but even so Xia Zhiyuan did not let go of His Highness' lips. During this period of time, she felt that her kissing skills had improved a lot.

"But...it's ok..."

“Ji Won…Ji Won…”

Zhao Changlin was panting, his neck tilted back, his body heaving, and he almost collapsed on the couch.

“Huh… Really…?”

"Your Highness... But... Zhiyuan feels it's not enough..."

She stretched out her index finger and stroked Zhao Changlin's wet lips bit by bit. Pressing against the swollen red lips, the look in her eyes seemed to want to swallow Zhao Changlin into her stomach.

"Ji Won...I want more...before we part..."

"Your Highness, have you been unable to spare some time for a long time?"

"In that case, Zhiyuan wants even more—"

"uh-huh……"

Another kiss fell.
