He asked you to serve him in bed and become his concubine, how did you manage to win his heart and s

Night finally came.

Yunxi sat gracefully in front of the mirror. Her makeup skills were superb; her elder sister's usual light and heavy makeup were all done by her.

Normally, she also uses her skills to make herself look ugly so that people won't notice that she looks eight-tenths like her elder sister.

Now that she has washed away the makeup and seen her beautiful face, she was somewhat dazed.

Such a face should never appear on a sinner, forcing her to be cautious and make every step difficult.

Tonight, she needs this face to turn her adversity around.

Soon, she styled her hair into a bun exactly like Li Ruolan's, drew her eyebrows, and put on a veil.

She deliberately didn't apply lipstick, leaving her face bare beneath the veil, waiting for Granny Gui to come and remind her to change.

The zither music played for half the night, and the fruit wine was served for half the night as well.

She looked out the small window and saw the maids and eunuchs cheerfully bringing things into the room, occasionally chatting quietly.

"His Majesty is troubled by state affairs, and no one dares to offend him, but our young master manages to make him beam with joy..."

"Isn't that right? I think the main seat in Yaoguang Palace might be changed soon."

Hearing this, Yunxi found it even more ridiculous.

If Li Ruolan hadn't used any tricks, she wouldn't have been able to rise to the position of Empress in her previous life.

Unfortunately, the standard imperial concubines, whom the family had raised with all their might, had difficulty conceiving, while she, a sinner, was born with a prolific pregnancy.

Even the high and mighty Li Ruolan now demands that she serve him in bed.

She has been reborn, and this time, she will definitely not let her guard down again.

Yunxi polished her unsharpened soft sword, only to see Granny Gui push open the door and give her a wink.

Neither of them spoke, but both knew perfectly well what the next step was.

Yunxi walked to the outside of the hanging flower curtain and saw her elder sister's delicate hand reaching towards His Majesty's collar, unbuttoning his bright yellow outer robe.

The First Madam was the daughter of a general, and on the battlefield she only drank strong liquor. Li Ruolan naturally inherited her mother's high tolerance for alcohol. After drinking for a while, she was only slightly tipsy, her cheeks flushed pink, and with a delicate pout, she said in a sweet voice:

"Your Majesty, I have learned sword dance for your sake. Would Your Majesty like to watch it?"

Mu Xiaoci squinted as he leaned against the brocade couch. Although his clothes were loose, it did not diminish his imperial majesty.

While he was thoroughly drunk, the beautiful woman in front of him multiplied from one to two, and then to countless.

He shook his head, trying to see clearly, but his eyes were covered by a red hairband.

"My beauty, what is this...?"

He smiled, but his eyes were already starting to glaze over.

"Your Majesty, may I go change my clothes and then come back to serve you later?"

Li Ruolan coaxed him with a sweet voice, and he stood up and retreated behind a screen not far away, even extinguishing most of the candles in the hall.

Yunxi was already waiting; in the interplay of light and shadow, their figures overlapped.

She noticed that her elder sister's slightly tipsy eyes had cleared, and she gave her a look that subtly warned her.

Yunxi remained calm.

In her past life, she was just a young girl, entering the palace for the first time, dancing for Mu Xiaoci for the first time, and experiencing her first passionate and intimate lovemaking...

But when she returned to the emperor's bed in this life, her state of mind was much more peaceful, and all she could think about were the lovely faces of her two children, Yan Yu and Luo Ning.

Her children will not recognize this poisonous woman as their mother in the future.

And she, too, must become the child's support.

Yunxi, holding a soft sword, gracefully stepped out from behind the screen.

In the dim candlelight, she swayed her waist gently, her eyes still showing the innocent charm of a young girl, but her expression already possessed a captivating allure.

She hooked her fingertips around Mu Xiaoci's neck, softly called out "Your Majesty," and took advantage of his inattention to gently bite the earlobe of the most noble man in the entire Yunxiao Kingdom.

Hearing the other person's heavy breathing, she cupped his face in her hands and taught him how to bite the veil with his mouth, personally revealing her true face.

Beneath the veil was a bare face, stunningly beautiful.

Before he could even get a good look, Yunxi had already given him a sweet kiss, pressing it tightly against Mu Xiaoci's lips.

Finally... take a big bite.

That scoundrel! I wish I could bite him to death too!

The slight stinging sensation displeased the other person, and just as they were getting angry, she spoke again:

"Your Majesty, wouldn't my lips look better if they were a bit more vibrant?"

All men in the world are the same.

Having experienced all that happened in her past life, Yunxi discovered that she was better at manipulating men than she had imagined.

Even if it's the emperor, she knows what he wants.

Alcohol is a wonderful thing, and Mu Xiaoci has been completely intoxicated by it today, his heart beating wildly for the woman before him.

The first time, he was bitten until he bled, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he raised his long, bony fingers, dipped them in the crimson blood from his lips, and applied rouge and powder to the beauty.

"My beloved concubine, do you know that I am the supreme ruler?"

His eyes darkened, and he took a retaliatory bite on those lips stained with vibrant color.

Yunxi groaned in pain, ignoring the fact that she had bitten her lip, and even clung to him, sticking out her tongue to lick the wound on his lip.

"I don't know what the supreme ruler is, I only know that I am in the arms of my beloved..."

She feigned coquettishness, and her voice was incredibly sweet.

Mu Xiaoci could no longer hold back, so he picked her up and carried her into the inner hall.

A light gauze curtain hangs, and the candlelight flickers.

The dim light in the main hall added to the allure, not to mention the woman's intentional or unintentional seduction, which only fueled Mu Xiaoci's burning desire.

"Your Majesty, please don't bite me..."

Yunxi's breathing grew heavier and heavier. She said "Don't bite," but she offered her shoulder and neck slightly, letting the man leave a bite mark on her shoulder.

Mu Xiaoci groaned and pressed down.

He was indeed a little drunk, otherwise how could he be led by the nose by a woman? Even with such a clumsy attempt to play hard to get, he still found it enjoyable.

As he inhaled the faint scent of plum blossoms emanating from her, he realized that he wanted more than just that; he wanted even more.

The night was indeed quite long. Li Ruolan outside heard the sounds coming from inside the bedchamber; the water had been carried four or five times.

Her originally dignified and beautiful face gradually became distorted in the shadows.

No woman would willingly hand over her husband, especially not the current emperor.

Li Ruolan herself hadn't even gone to bed with the Emperor a few times, yet Yunxi had already climbed into the Emperor's bed.

If it weren't for the Li family's insistence, she would never have willingly sent Yunxi up.

Fortunately, Granny Gui, who was by her side, persuaded her to stop.

"Your Majesty, the importance of offspring is paramount. Do not forget the First Madam's instructions."

"But she..."

Li Ruolan trembled with anger, her beautiful face contorted with rage.

"Once she gives birth to a child, whether it lives or dies is entirely up to the Empress, isn't it?"

As always, Granny Gui remained calm and composed, offering words of comfort to the young lady she had watched grow up.

Li Ruolan had never suffered any injustice since childhood. As the legitimate daughter, she was also doted on by the First Madam.

She had always had whatever she wanted since she was a child, and never imagined that one day she would have to rely on a sinner to gain a foothold in the harem.

However, Granny Gui is right; having offspring is the most important thing right now.

Three years after the emperor ascended the throne, the empress fell ill and it seemed she would only have a few days left to live.

Now is the time to rely on offspring to stabilize the government.

If she can give birth to a prince first, she might be able to compete for the position of Empress.

She could endure this little grievance in order to become empress.

But Li Ruolan cared about more than just that; she also cared about Yunxi's face.

A face eight parts similar to her own, yet even more stunningly beautiful—if the emperor saw it, he would surely be captivated.

Just in case, once it's all done, she absolutely won't let that bitch Yunxi live.

Definitely not!

Not far away, Yunxi in the inner palace finally regained consciousness.

She was tormented for two whole hours, and her whole body was sore and swollen.

She heard the clock chiming outside, calculated the time, and pushed away the man who was still fast asleep on top of her.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to apply the ointment given to her by Granny Gui to Mu Xiaoci's lips.

This ointment is an excellent scar removal medicine; just a little bit is enough to heal wounds in a short time.

Yesterday, I was beaten by the nanny during dance practice and left red marks, but now there's only a barely noticeable mark. And the little cut on my lip will probably heal completely in half a day.

She didn't want Li Ruolan to discover anything amiss, and even less did she want the Emperor to know her secret now.

Before leaving, she took off her dancing dress and changed into the everyday clothes of a palace maid.

Outside the sleeping quarters, Li Ruolan did not sleep all night.

Her gloomy gaze fell on Yunxi, noticing a charm in Yunxi that was different from usual, and the jealousy in her eyes was impossible to hide.

But when he stood up again, his face was once again adorned with that hypocritical smile.

"Little sister, how were you last night?"

Without saying a word, Yunxi knelt down and kowtowed, her voice timid.

"This servant only knows that His Majesty and the Empress were very affectionate last night, and knows nothing else."

"Indeed, Your Majesty and I were deeply in love last night, inseparable and affectionate..."

Li Ruolan was satisfied with the answer and finally let Yunxi go.

But seeing the rosy complexion on her face, the anger in his heart could not be truly extinguished.

Just as he was about to say something, he noticed that Yunxi had already stepped back, obedient and well-behaved.

The concubines' personal maids were never idle in the morning, and even Yunxi, who had been busy all night, dared not make a mistake at this time.

On her way back to her room, she kept her head down until she had reapplied the medicine to make herself look ugly, only then did she feel relieved.

Her status is too low at the moment, and she cannot reveal her identity.

Otherwise, Li Ruolan alone could have killed her.

Furthermore, there are too many eyes watching in the palace. In her previous life, the palace struggles were so fierce that her child might not even be able to be born.

The most important thing now is to survive.

Only survival matters.

……

Mu Xiaoci slept very soundly.

When I opened my eyes again and saw Li Ruolan's exquisite and noble face, I felt that something was missing.

However, he looked at Li Ruolan with a normal expression and even took her hand.

"I didn't know that a lady from such a noble family as my beloved concubine could also practice sword dancing."

"I learned all of that for Your Majesty. The war in the Northwest is now critical, and I just wanted to cheer Your Majesty on."

Looking at their intertwined hands, Li Ruolan still blushed and fidgeted a little.

Putting aside his noble status, Mu Xiaoci also has a handsome appearance.

With sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a handsome face, he possessed an innate noble air.

Completely different from the scions of noble families she usually met, she hated being manipulated more than anything in her life, yet she fell in love with the emperor at first sight, crying and begging to enter the palace, even at the cost of her family's well-being.

But she was not content to be just a concubine; she wanted to be an empress, the most noble woman in the world.

The concubines had to dress the emperor in court robes every day, and kneel down to tie his belt, in order to show the emperor's supreme status.

In the entire harem, only the Empress was exempt from kneeling. No matter how arrogant Li Ruolan was, she had to obediently follow the rules at this moment.

But today, as soon as she lowered her head, a large hand grasped her waist and helped her up.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and Mu Xiaoci couldn't help but think of the tenderness of last night. He lowered his head and sniffed her scent.

A unique fragrance lingered around his nose, and his eyes darkened slightly as he seemingly casually pulled open Li Ruolan's collar.

There were no hickeys on her neck or shoulders.

Mu Xiaoci released his grip and subtly took a step back.

"I made you tired last night. You don't need to kneel or pay your respects today. Just take good care of yourself."

"His Majesty……"

Li Ruolan looked at him with deep affection, her heart overflowing with sweetness.

"I'll have the imperial physician come over later to take a look at you. You really need to take good care of your health."

His words were loaded with meaning, and even his gaze toward Li Ruolan carried a hint of speculation.

Was the woman who slept with him last night someone else?
