"Hnnng." A woman's first moan was always a good sign. Even if she tries to suppress it, it can't be suppressed, so she lets out a breath. As she moaned, his wife's head fell back. The yukatas were randomly strewn above the sheets. A wisteria petal was stuck to the back of her neck. He stretched down and bit the flower petal. The petal and skin both crumbled between his teeth. The sweet taste spread in his mouth like an aphrodisiac. "Haa..." Xiao's hand gripped her abandoned yukata. He had already teased her nipples, and they glistened as they perked up. With another surge of desire, Jun Shang cupped her breast once again. His wife's body was beautiful. It was as smooth as a painting. Her perfectly supple breasts, her long and slender hands and feet. More than that, the most captivating features were her fragrance and her pale, soft skin that seemed to melt underneath her hands. 'You're beautiful.' She didn't seem to be touched by his words. There was no reason for her to respond with 'You too' just to be polite. But none of that mattered. Her proud face and her cold eyes. All of it. He liked all of it. And starting today, all of it would be his. "Ahh."
Although the banquet hadn't started yet, the venue was already full of people.
When Ethan and Adelina entered together, everyone's eyes went to them.
Ethan was the only son of the consort who monopolized the Emperor's affections. However, he still earned his government post without utilizing the Consort's help and grasped his authority on his own. Many people were envious and jealous of Ethan. Even though they cursed him under their breaths, they still wanted to get close to him.
Because of Ethan's cold and stubborn nature, people did not approach him easily. However, no one could deny that he was the center of attention wherever he went in Gideon.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
After the empress had died, it was only proper for her seat next to the Emperor's to remain empty. However, Consort Min sat next to the Emperor in the empress's seat as if she belonged there.
