Chapter 420 - 399: One More Update
Emperor Jingzhi glanced at Talented Lady Jing lying on the ground. Although the girl before him was not exceptionally beautiful, her youth and vibrant energy required no embellishment, which radiated against her clear, glowing skin.
"So beautiful?" Emperor Jingzhi was no exception. Prince Duan was one of the rare handsome men in the imperial family; otherwise, he wouldn’t have captured Lady Ru’s heart at first. Moreover, Lady Ru’s beauty indeed lived up to the words of Talented Lady Jing.
"Replying to The Emperor, yes—" Talented Lady Jing didn’t know if her response was correct, as there was no standard answer available, nor did she know what she was about to face. As she spoke, her fingers couldn’t stop trembling; her frail and pitiful appearance resembled a newly emerged lotus flower.
Although Emperor Jingzhi lacked the physical strength, his inherent temperament remained unchanged. Having been ill for several months, naturally avoiding meat and vegetables, the favor shown to Talented Lady Jing was also because she was caring. Moreover, she appeared slightly plump, which Emperor Jingzhi purely found comforting due to the soft, fragrant contact, prompting him to summon her more often.

Talented Lady Jing paused, vaguely feeling something was different than usual. Nevertheless, she didn’t resist and quickly crawled a few steps forward to Emperor Jingzhi.
"Your Majesty—" Talented Lady Jing looked up, her eyes were watery, displaying fear and an irresistible compliance, and though not clever, she understood that Emperor Jingzhi liked her to be this way.
Sure enough, Emperor Jingzhi, "with a very good mood," extended his hand, his fingers lifting the chin of the girl before him, watching with interest the fluctuations of her chest. His fingers slowly moved down to her neck and then her chest, her trembling breaths pulsated under his touch. The warmth, greater than that of the Emperor’s, spread from his fingers, leaving him unsatisfied yet physically depleted.
"Your Majesty—" Talented Lady Jing’s voice softened to a whisper, carrying a shy coaxing tone as she proactively grasped Emperor Jingzhi’s thin hand, "Your Majesty, what is it you desire?"
