Were all the women in Miaojiang like this or was it only Shangguan Ling who was like this?
It was as if he was carrying a scorpion's tail, showing it to sting people from time to time. Every time he tried to make friends with her, she would defeat him in the end!
Xia Ling nodded, curved her lips, and raised the white porcelain cup to Yin Tingyan.
"Your Majesty, I toast Your Majesty!"
Yin Tingyan's face was gloomy, but he also raised the porcelain cup.
Under the moonlight, the clear liquor reflected light.
Xia Ling drank half of it, and suddenly her eyes flashed, and she acted cheekily again. "Your Majesty, there's no need to take this matter to heart. When I was getting married, I heard that if a man's yuanyang was still around, he would always be in a hurry. It would be better if he waited more times!"
Yin Tingyan almost choked on the wine in his mouth. He endured it again and again before he managed to calm down.
"Who did you hear it from?" He looked at the woman who was calm and composed.
Under the moonlight, the woman looked as aggressive as ever when she was wearing a gauze-red dress coupled with her bright and eye-catching face.
"I haven't gotten married at the age of twenty-five. Naturally, I've heard a lot of things. It's just that now I have a chance to verify whether the rumors are true or not."
She looked at Yin Tingyan with a faint smile.
Yin Tingyan also looked at her.
As she spoke, a flash of light flashed across the woman's half-smiling eyes, as if it was a flash in the pan.
The woman in front of him was Shangguan Ling, but there seemed to be something wrong with her.
No, when did Shangguan Ling become someone who would be bullied by him and still cooperate with him?
Yin Tingyan, who was embarrassed and angry, thought of the details of the Phoenix Perch Palace. Although this was his first time, and the process was not very pleasant, it was still not bad later on.
Therefore, Yin Tingyan had nothing to do, so he thought of setting up a banquet in this courtyard and inviting Shangguan Ling to sit down while admiring the moon.
It was rare for the two of them to sit so peacefully, so Yin Tingyan reminded himself not to be so easily angered by Shangguan Ling.
He scrutinized Xia Ling.
She had a beautiful face, and her facial features were not quite the same as the women he had seen on a daily basis. However, her dark eyes were rounder and more charming, and her skin was more delicate. Her lips were like roses stained with dew.
It was undeniable that Shangguan Ling was still beautiful.
Seeing Yin Tingyan looking at her, Xia Ling suddenly lowered her head and smiled. She then looked at Yin Tingyan, pretending to be shy. She raised her hand and pointed at him. "Your Majesty, don't look at me like that. It makes me so shy."
"From today onwards, I am Your Majesty's person. Your Majesty, don't let me down, okay?"
As she said this, Xia Ling got what she wanted. She saw Yin Tingyan stiffen up and stare at her with a livid face.
Yin Tingyan could not bear it anymore and brushed Xia Ling's hand away.
"Empress!"
"I am here!"
Xia Ling stood up lazily and curled her lips. She was still smiling brightly at Yin Tingyan.
"Your Majesty, what orders do you have?"
Initially, Yin Tingyan was angry and reprimanded her. However, he did not expect Xia Ling to raise her tone so coyly. The atmosphere instantly became like two people calling each other's names and saying sweet words.
Yin Tingyan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
He did not know why he was so easily provoked by Shangguan Ling tonight.
Marrying Shangguan Ling was to help the late emperor keep the promise he made.
Carrying out the marriage with Shangguan Ling was because she was his woman. Her body and everything should naturally belong to him.
He hated trouble. The Shangguan Ling in front of him was slightly different from before the wedding, but it was another synonym for trouble!
He stared deeply, not sure how she would react if he said the following words.
However, as the ruler of a country, what was the point of having only the empress in the harem? How to continue the line of descendants? Therefore, Yin Tingyan had to talk to Shangguan Ling!
