Chapter 356: The Concubine Who Was Buried with the Emperor VS The Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 4
Emperor Jing was immersed in the water, with his back against the edge of the bath, so he could take in her expression.

This woman despised her father's old age and pretended to be ugly to avoid his favor. But now she stared at him openly, like a female hooligan, without any shyness at all.

His expression was slightly raised, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

I wasn't angry, instead I found it bold and interesting.

"Have you seen enough? Do you still like my appearance?"

Emperor Jing glanced at her sideways, with a playful smile on his face, and said jokingly.

The redness on Yu Yao's face deepened, but she did not look away. Instead, she boldly met Emperor Jing's gaze and looked into his eyes, with a cunning glint in her eyes.

She opened her red lips slightly, her voice was somewhat provocative and joyful, "Your Majesty's dragon-like figure and phoenix-like appearance are truly a rare sight in the world. I am just an ordinary person, so naturally I cannot get enough of seeing it."

Isn't it just flirting with the emperor? She is very familiar with it, almost doing it with ease.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing smiled even more. He had never expected that this seemingly gentle woman would have such a straightforward side. He couldn't help but become more interested.

He reached out and gently lifted up a petal floating on the water, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Oh? Then I want to ask, in your heart, how do I compare to the late emperor?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the bathroom suddenly became subtle.

Yu Yao's heart trembled, knowing that Rong Yuan was testing her bottom line, and at the same time warning her not to forget her identity.

Her face remained expressionless as she gently leaned over and ran her fingertips lightly across the water, creating delicate ripples.

"The late emperor was majestic and solemn, and I will always be in awe of him. Your Majesty, you are charming and suave, and you have an irresistible charm. I dare not make a comparison, because both of you have your own merits, and both are beyond my reach."

Her voice was sincere yet a little helpless.

After hearing this, Emperor Jing's smile deepened, and a hint of admiration flashed in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

The woman in front of him not only had an outstanding appearance, but her responses were also so appropriate, neither showing off nor losing her sense of proportion.

He stood up slowly, and drops of water slid down his tight skin, outlining perfect lines.

He walked towards her step by step, naked.

Until they were only one step apart, warm steam hit her face, making her blush.

"Do you know that what you said makes me more interested in you?"

Emperor Jing's voice was deep, pleasant, and extremely magnetic, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

He reached out and lifted Yu Yao's chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. "I understand that you don't want to be buried alive with me, but the palace is so big, why did you hide in my bedroom? Could it be that you want to attract my attention in this way?"

Yu Yao's heart skipped a beat. She had just arrived in this world and was about to be buried alive. She didn't even understand the situation and ran around in panic, not caring where she ended up.

I went into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and had time to take a closer look before I realized that it was the emperor's bedroom.

She tried to maintain her calmness on the surface, gently pushed Rong Yuan's hand away, took a step back, bowed, and said seriously:
"I know that I am of humble status and dare not have any improper thoughts. As for hiding in your majesty's bedroom, it is really a helpless act and the result of panic. I hope your majesty will forgive me."

Emperor Jing chuckled, and his laughter echoed in the bathroom, with a bit of unruliness and playfulness.

He moved closer to her, their bodies so close that they were almost touching. His body was covered in thick moisture, and he stood naked in front of her, his warm breath almost spraying on her face.

There was an indescribable tension in the air.

Even though she was an experienced driver, she felt embarrassed at this moment.

"Since it is a helpless act, I will not pursue it."

He turned and walked back to the bathtub, casually putting on a bathrobe. His posture was extremely casual, yet he still looked regal.

"Change your clothes. I will have someone arrange accommodation for you later."

Yu Yao lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." After she finished speaking, she naturally stepped forward to serve him, put on his robe, and gently tidied it up. Her movements were natural and skillful.

"You are quite good at serving others."

Rong Yuan sat in front of the bronze mirror, letting her comb his wet long hair, with a playful smile on his lips, and occasionally looking at her with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I am just doing my best to serve you."

She lowered her eyebrows and spoke softly, but her hands did not stop moving.

She has a very good mentality. She can be a queen mother or a maid. As a qualified tasker, she should have a thousand faces and be able to adapt to any role.

"Do you know how many women in this deep palace are eager to gain my favor?"

Emperor Jing looked at her through the bronze mirror and spoke again in a low voice with a meaningful look on his face.

Yu Yao didn't know what the man meant, so she just said respectfully, "I am stupid and don't dare to discuss the affairs of the palace."

"Oh?" Rong Yuan chuckled, his smile was playful, and his voice was a little teasing, "Then would you like to be one of them? With your beauty, you will stand out even in my harem."

She frowned slightly, not knowing whether the man was testing her or if he really meant it.

She remained calm, "Your Majesty, I am too kind to praise you. I am just a humble servant, how dare I compare myself to the beauties in the harem. I only wish to serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly, and have no other requests."

Rong Yuan's eyes met hers in the bronze mirror. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were as deep as the night sky, hiding elusive emotions.

"You have no other desires. You are much more sensible than those concubines who are always jealous of each other."

He chuckled, his tone was full of admiration, but also tentative, "However, my harem has never lacked people with taste, what it lacks is people who can make my heart beat."

Yu Yao's expression was slightly raised. As an emperor, he wanted to find true love. Isn't it a bit funny?
What's more, the man in front of her is a romantic emperor.

Although she was complaining in her heart, her face was calm. She continued her actions, carefully combing Rong Yuan's long hair and wringing it dry with a towel.

"Your Majesty is a supreme ruler, and you should attract the admiration of women all over the world. I am just a maid, and I only wish to be by your side and protect you silently."

"Guarding silently?"

Rong Yuan repeated these four words with a playful smile on his face, "You know, in this harem, being silent means being forgotten. If you really want to stay, you have to let me see your difference."

Hearing this, she thought to herself that although she did not plan to conquer this man, she still had to have a child and pamper him a little.

Otherwise, everyone in this deep palace will step on you.

"Although I dare not hope for your Majesty's favor, I will definitely prove my worth with practical actions. As long as your Majesty likes it, I can do anything."

Emperor Jing chuckled, turned around, stared at her with his deep eyes, stretched out a finger to hook her chin, and said ambiguously: "Then I will sleep with you tonight, are you willing?"

Yu Yao looked at the man in surprise. Although she knew that she would have to sleep with him sooner or later, she never thought it would be so soon.

At least we have to wait until the mourning period is over, right?
The late emperor had just passed away, and his body had not even been buried yet. It was currently in mourning in the palace.
According to ancestral rules, Emperor Jing's son had to wear plain clothes, remove any decorations, eat mainly vegetarian food, abstain from alcohol, be forbidden from entertainment, and live simply.

Of course, you can't flip the cards and favor women.

But then I thought about how this man was a playboy, and it was impossible for him to go that long without touching a woman.

The rule is just that you can't flip the cards, it doesn't say you can't sleep with women in private.

As long as it doesn't get out, no one can say anything.

"Everything is up to your Majesty. As long as your Majesty likes it, I will naturally agree."

She concealed the thoughts in her eyes, her face slightly red, and spoke softly.
