Xia Chu wrinkled her nose and complained, "What 'basic qualities of a good husband'? Didn't you say I am Her Majesty the Queen? Even Her Majesty's thoughts can't be guessed lightly; be careful, or I might charge someone with 'the crime of prying into the monarch's heart'!"
Huo Xiyao burst into laughter, "Then if I am charged with that crime, what would the punishment be? Besides not allowing me to sleep with you tonight, I'm fine with any other punishment."
Xia Chu snorted lightly, "Sorry, but that's exactly the punishment I had in mind... Why so anxious, I haven't finished. But punishment aside, it's not like Her Majesty can't flip your card tonight and summon you to attend her."
Huo Xiyao then smiled, "That's more like it. Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely clean myself thoroughly to give you the best experience."
"Ahem…"
Xia Chu coughed.
