After Lady Liang left, the Emperor also departed from the Imperial Study Room.
He took the Dragon Carriage to Consort Liu's residence.
Consort Liu personally helped the Emperor change his robes, feigning curiosity as she asked.
"I heard Your Majesty has named that Desert Pearl of Xiliang as Lady Liang?"
The Emperor gave a casual "Mm."
Consort Liu helped him remove the golden dragon crown from his head, replacing it with a simple, elegant jade hairpin.
After changing his clothes, the Emperor felt much more relaxed.
He sat leisurely on the soft couch and took the hot tea Consort Liu offered him.
Consort Liu leaned in close, her eyes filled with affection, her smile enchanting.
"But didn't Princess Longzhu have her eyes on Prince Zhao? How could Your Majesty steal his love away?"
The Emperor chuckled. "It's not like Prince Zhao likes her."
