TGP: Teasing

The Empress was checking her image in the copper mirror. However, when she did not hear any more words, the Empress frowned. She looked at the Mama, who was staring blankly at her.

The Empress's face darkened.

"You dare to stare at me?!"

The Mama waked up in her daze and kowtowed to the ground.

"This humble one committed a great sin!"

The Empress frowned deeply. Sensing that the Empress's mood was getting worse, the Mama suddenly speak.

"The moon of the Empire's beauty is so stunning that I was blinded and got awed by Her majesty's beauty! Please forgive this humble one!"

The Empress was stunned, and so the Mama. The Mama stopped her mouth. The letter's audacity was so influencing that her mouth got used to it so quickly.

The Empress' frown was erased magically.

She held the mirror in front of her face again. She tried different expressions in the mirror. After some time, she glanced at the Mama who was kneeling below.

"Be grateful that I am a forgiving Empress. If it was other ladies, they have already beheaded you."

"Y-yes, Your Majesty. This servant is grateful for Your Majesty's grace and mercy."

The Empress picked up a refreshment and eat it in front of the mirror.

"Is that all?" She asked a bit impatiently.

"Ahh..." The Mama glanced in the letter.

There was still one more paragraph.

"Ehem.

Her Majesty, I am so blessed to be able to live with You under one heaven. That's why this humble one would surely make the upcoming event suit very well with the Moon of our Empire. I hope Her Majesty and His majesty would be happy for my gift on that day. May the moon and the sun take pleasure in my gift then.

Your humble and lovely servant,

Lady Ren Liam..."

The Mama then slowly peeked at the Empress. She was stunned when she saw an evil smile on the Empress's face.

'A gift? A gift for me and for His majesty?'

The Empress's eyes glistened. The Emperor would surely be happy with this gift.

"Prepare my dress. We will head to the Emperor's chamber."

The Empress was happy to deliver this good news to the Emperor.

A gift she was expecting that she and the Emperor would be happy...

Was none other than Ren Shou's head.

********

Liam checked her list.

✔write a love letter to the empress

Then she stared at the remaining list that would be checked soon.

She then checked the batch of clothing that have arrived today.

She smiled as she imagined the great day. That would be the first in the Empire's history. She would leave a legacy.

"Wangfei, you haven't sleep yet?" Ren Shou, as usual, came through the window. Liam let it passed since that was her husband's habit.

"Oh, I am about to sleep. I am checking everything since tomorrow is the big day." Liam said happily as she imagined what the event would look like with the ministers and Emperor present.

'Fufu~ that would be the first party in history.'

A hand then held her waist.

'Kekk!' Liam held her mouth that was about to shout that creepy scream. She always gets heart-attack when Ren Shou suddenly acted intimate towards her. Well, she can't be blamed. She was not close with any man in her past life. She was used to being alone, acting high and mighty all the time.

She sighed.

"Can you give me a warning when you are going to touch me?" Liam said as she turned to face him. A handsome man appeared near her face.

Ren Shou was stunned. Then his face turned red.

Translation in Ren Shou's mind: Touching is same as hmm..doing 'that'..in this times )

"I-I am not touching you."

Liam slightly raised her brow.

"What do you call that then?" She used her mouth to point at Ren Shou's hand on her waist.

Ren Shou looked in that direction. Then like he was scalded by hot water, he instantly let go of her and raised his hand in the air.

"T-that! T-that...I just meant to say good night."

Liam lightly laughed. Ren Shou, this general who made her father afraid and a great threat to the Emperor, was getting easily flustered by things like this.

She pinched his blushed cheeks and made fun of him.

"Aiyo! My cute husband is acting so innocent now after being a beast last week. "

Ren Shou got redder being reminded of that night.

"L-ladies should..be modest on things like that.." Ren Shou answered back with a soft voice. He was really embarrassed.

"Ho, ho, ho, my dear bunny is answering back to me. What's that again? Can't hear you."

Ren Shou coughed and stole Liam's hand that was pinching his cheeks. Then he cupped his cheeks while his other hand was holding her hand.

"Stopped teasing me. This bunny might turn into a beast. Well, if Wangfei like that, I would be a beast anytime for you." Ren Shou teased back. He then closed their distance and breathe on her face.

Liam shut her mouth. She doesn't want to really experience that intense night again. She looked askance to this guy who now knew how to fought back.

'When did he learn this? He is not fun..not fun at all.'

Seeing Liam shut her mouth made Ren Shou smiled evilly.

"Oh, ho. My dear Wangfei is silent now. What you are saying again?" Ren Shou copied Liam's tone earlier.

Liam was stunned. 'This guy is so quick to learn!'

But too bad, in bed, between a man and a woman. Women always lose. Women always suffer. So in this round, Ren Shou wins.

The night ended while these two teased each other. Oh, scratch that.

The night ended with Ren Shou feeling smug that he won over Liam's teasing.
