Chapter 627: Her Majesty
The emperor had already carried the empress to the bed, but he noticed her resistance.
"Yu’er, what’s wrong?"
"Don’t tell me you resent me for having such a busy schedule?"
The Empress felt compelled to explain, "How could I dare to resent you? You’ve just ascended the throne, and there are countless responsibilities demanding your attention every day. I find myself unavoidably neglected."
These words emanated from the empress, leaving the emperor uneasy. He perceived her tone as a subtle mockery.
What did it mean to be busy every day?
True, he indulged in the company of a few beauties in the harem daily!
The other concubines might not be aware, but he diligently attended court early every day. It was mostly a facade; the Public House made all the decisions, and he often found himself bored to the point of wanting to doze off.
