This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 322 The Queen's Demand

It was midday.

The shops on both sides of the street were decorated with colorful lights, and people were happily preparing for the New Year.

The war outside doesn't seem to have affected this place.

Yaohua Palace was also decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

In the study, the Queen had a simple lunch and was sitting at her desk, reading letters from the border while listening to reports from the servants outside.

Just then, someone outside announced, "Your Majesty, Young Master Luo has arrived."

The queen's eyes flashed, and she said, "Let him in."

The woman in green bowed her head and took her leave.

Before long, two palace maids led Luo Zijun to the door of the study.

Luo Zijun bowed his head and greeted the Queen from outside the door: "Your subject Luo Zijun pays respects to Your Majesty the Queen and wishes Your Majesty a long and healthy life."

The Queen stared at him for a moment, then said, "Lord Luo, there's no need for such formalities. Please come in."

Luo Zijun lowered her head and went into the study.

The door behind me creaked shut.

The Queen laughed and said, "Haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become so distant that you don't even dare to look me in the eye?"

Luo Zijun then raised her head, glanced at it, and then lowered her eyes again.

Today, the Queen wore a purple and gold phoenix robe, a phoenix crown on her head, and a pearl around her neck. Her skin was snow-white, and her temperament was dignified, exuding an air of elegance, nobility, and overwhelming grace.

Luo Zijun immediately flattered her, saying, "Your Majesty's royal aura is just beginning to appear, as dazzling as the sun and moon, making me dare not look directly at you."

"Pfft..."

The Queen chuckled, her beauty blooming like a flower, breathtakingly gorgeous: "The first signs of royal aura? Tsk tsk, Luo Qing's flattery skills are getting better and better."

Luo Zijun lowered his head and said, "I don't know how to flatter, I only know how to tell the truth."

The Queen smiled and said, "Alright, I know your loyalty. I summoned you here today not only to discuss matters at the border, but also to inquire about your well-being. I heard that some things happened at the Bai family; Miss Bai ran away from home. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Luo Zijun respectfully replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's a small matter; I can handle it myself."

"Little things?"

The Queen looked at him meaningfully: "Luo Qing, as a son-in-law, seduced his wife's younger sister next door, and was then caught red-handed by his wife and mother-in-law. His wife was so angry that she ran away from home, and the whole city was searching for her... Is this a small matter?"

Luo Zijun paused for a moment, then said, "That's not the case, but I have no way to defend myself. However, I will do everything I can to find Miss Bai and explain things to her."

The Queen raised an eyebrow: "You still want to find her and become her husband?"

Luo Zijun lowered her head and said, "Yes."

The Queen's eyes flickered, and she said, "But I've heard that since your marriage, you've lived in separate courtyards and haven't even consummated your marriage. In other words, you don't have any marital affection, do you?"

Luo Zijun said, "No, although Miss Bai and I do not live together, we have long been truly in love and have pledged our lives to each other. As for the wedding night... how can physical pleasure compare to the union of souls?"

"A meeting of souls?"

A look of confusion appeared on the Queen's face.

Luo Zijun respectfully explained, "It means that even before people are close, their hearts have already become one."

Silence fell in the room.

The queen stared at him expressionlessly for a while, then suddenly let out a low, cold snort, saying in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "It seems that Luo Qing doesn't enjoy physical pleasure?"

Luo Zijun lowered his head and said, "I was merely making a comparison. It is vulgar and rude of me to speak of such things in front of Your Majesty. Please forgive me."

The Queen asked coldly, "So, does Luo Qing enjoy physical pleasure?"

Luo Zijun respectfully replied, "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. Food and sex are human nature, and of course I enjoy them."

The Queen smiled and said, "Luo Qing is indeed an honest person. If you asked others, they would be all coy and righteous, acting as if they were not interested in women, but in reality, they have three wives and four concubines, and a whole household of maids to accompany them. They can't be happy without women every day."

Luo Zijun lowered her head and remained silent.

Weren't they supposed to be discussing national affairs and family matters? How did they suddenly end up talking about this kind of thing?

The Queen suddenly looked at him again and said, "Luo Qing said he was going to find Miss Bai. Do you already know where she went?"

Luo Zijun hesitated for a moment, then bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I do know, but... the journey there is long, and I do not yet know how to get there. Your Majesty is all-powerful; could you perhaps give me some advice?"

Of course, he wouldn't mention the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, much less the fact that Miss Bai was a demon.

All he needs to do is find the way to the Kingdom of Women or the Kingdom of Nine Islands.

There are always some interactions between countries, and there may even be trade exchanges.

Now that the Queen is the king behind Daliang, she might be able to help him reach there more safely.

Since he has this resource, he naturally wants to make use of it.

"Oh?"

The queen's expression shifted, and she asked, "Where did she go?"

Luo Zijun lowered her head and said, "The Kingdom of Women."

"A land of women?"

The queen was taken aback at first, her expression shifting for a moment before she asked in confusion, "Why is she there?"

Luo Zijun had already prepared an explanation: "She probably felt bored staying in the manor all the time, and because of the misunderstanding with me, she decided to go there to see the scenery in a fit of anger. She has always longed for the Kingdom of Women."

The Queen did not believe it: "Didn't she leave a letter saying she was going to become a nun?" Luo Zijun said, "It was just something she said in a fit of anger."

The Queen continued, "The Kingdom of Women is thousands of miles away from here. How could a weak woman like her get there? Since you know where she is going, why don't you go after her now?"

They're definitely not easy to fool!

Luo Zijun said, "Perhaps someone is taking her, I don't know. As for why I'm not chasing after her now, it's because even if I catch up now, it's meaningless. Since she is so eager to go to the Women's Kingdom, I think it would be better to wait until she has finished her visit and her wish has been fulfilled before I go to find her and bring her back."

The queen remained silent, staring at him thoughtfully.

Luo Zijun lowered his head and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty has any way to allow me to travel there smoothly?"

"Yes, there is..."

After a moment of silence, the queen suddenly spoke.

Luo Zijun's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, please speak! No matter how difficult it is, I am not afraid!"

The Queen narrowed her eyes, her tone turning cold: "It's not that difficult, but I need you to promise me one thing."

Luo Zijun immediately replied, "Your Majesty, please speak. I will do anything you can, even at the cost of my life."

The queen's gaze grew even colder, but a mocking smile appeared on her lips: "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

Luo Zijun's attitude was firm.

"Won't you regret it?"

"no way!"

"it is good."

The Queen snorted coldly, a mocking sneer playing on her lips. Suddenly, she lifted her long purple skirt from under the table, raising one long, straight, beautiful leg and placing it on the table in front of her. Her slender foot, adorned with embroidered shoes and stockings, faced him, and she said, "In that case, Luo Qing, come here first. Help me take off my shoes and stockings, then massage my legs and feet. After you've done that, I'll tell you what to do next."

Luo Zijun: "..."

"What? You don't want to anymore?"

The queen's expression was mocking, her eyes cold: "Didn't you just say that you would do anything, even die a thousand deaths, if it were up to you? Were you lying to me, or do you actually not want to go see your Miss Bai anymore?"

Luo Zijun bowed and said, "I can do it, but... I'm afraid I'll offend Your Majesty and commit a capital offense."

The Queen said coldly, "Since it is my order, how can you say it is offensive? If you think I am deliberately playing a trick on you, or deliberately plotting to deal with you, then it means that you do not trust me at all. If you do not trust me, that is a crime punishable by death."

Luo Zijun lowered his head and remained silent for a few moments before raising his head to look at her: "Does Your Majesty truly wish for me to do this?"

The queen then raised her other long, beautiful leg and placed it on the table, looking at him coldly and saying, "Of course it's true. Do you think I need to joke with you?"

Luo Zijun hesitated for a few seconds before making a decision. She stepped forward, knelt before the table, and respectfully said, "Your subject obeys."

The queen leaned back on the bench behind her, her arms wrapped around her ample bosom, and glanced at him sideways with her phoenix eyes, saying, "Let's begin."

Looking at the silk embroidered shoes so close to her, Luo Zijun took a deep breath, raised her hands, gently grasped her slender ankle with one hand, and gently took the embroidered shoes off her feet with the other.

The queen narrowed her eyes, staring intently at the expression on his face.

As the embroidered shoes fell off, two slender and beautiful feet clad in snow-white silk stockings appeared. Without hesitation, Luo Zijun gently grasped the delicate and fair ankles with one hand and gently removed the silk stockings with the other.

As soon as the stockings were removed, a pair of exquisitely beautiful, snow-white feet appeared before our eyes. They were dazzlingly white and as beautiful as jade, as if the whole room was brightened up.

"Does it look good?"

At this moment, the Queen suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

Luo Zijun immediately released his grip and bowed his head, replying, "Your subject dares not speak."

The Queen snorted coldly: "I forgive you for your crime, speak!"

Luo Zijun said, "It looks good."

"Which is more attractive, me or Miss Bai?"

The Queen asked again.

Luo Zijun lowered his head and said, "I have never seen Miss Bai."

The Queen sneered and said, "Luo Qing is really pitiful. You've been married for so long, and you haven't even seen Miss Bai's jade feet?"

Luo Zijun lowered her head and remained silent.

The Queen said, "I've heard that Lord Luo loves women's jade feet the most, and he has bought many books about jade feet at home. I suppose he has quite a bit of knowledge about women's jade feet. Why don't you come and have a look at mine now?"

Luo Zijun kept his head tightly lowered: "Your Majesty, I actually... I don't actually have that kind of fetish..."

"Hmph, lying to me is a crime of deceiving the emperor, punishable by death!"

The Queen said coldly.

Luo Zijun could only say, "Yes... a tiny bit..."

"Then let's start tasting."

The queen raised an eyebrow, her two beautiful feet, with bright red nail polish and snow-white jade-like skin, came together and stretched forward, almost reaching into his arms.

"Of course, you can also touch and appreciate it at the same time."

"If you really can't resist and want to kiss me, I won't blame you."

Luo Zijun: "..."
