"Get out of here."
Xiao Yunxi felt a sense of indescribable embarrassment.
She could only drive Chen Mo away to reduce this embarrassment.
But is Chen Mo the kind of person to leave so easily?
He grabbed Xiao Yunxiās kicking foot, holding her jade-like foot in his hand.
Although there were stockings, her cute and curled toes were too clear and pristine to ignore, and with the stockings, there was an added sense of allure.
Suddenly, a thought formed in his mind.
It should be okay to kiss it, right?
The moment the thought emerged, Chen Mo acted on it.
...
...
Bang!
Xiao Yunxiās heart was completely conquered.
For her, feet were... the dirtiest part in her opinion.
Chen Mo even kissed her foot.
Doesnāt that prove how much he loves her?
At this moment, he was also drunk.
Isnāt that the truth?
Xiao Yunxiās cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes like a pool of spring water, her eyelashes curving as she looked at Chen Mo.
Xiao Yunxi pulled her foot back.
Even so, Xiao Yunxi still felt that a man kissing her foot was a very lowly act, and she didnāt want Chen Mo to be that lowly.
She looked at Chen Mo, pursed her lips, and seriously asked, "Do you... really like me?"
Chen Mo nodded seriously.
"Then... arenāt you afraid? I am an Empress..."
"Afraid," Chen Mo said.
Xiao Yunxiās expression darkened, and just as she was about to completely drive Chen Mo away, Chen Mo suddenly grabbed her hand and said affectionately, "But Iām more afraid of losing you."
After speaking, he kissed Xiao Yunxiās red lips.
As an Empress, no one dared to whisper sweet nothings to her.
And as the Emperor, with the majesty of the Son of Heaven, he certainly wouldnāt lower himself to whisper sweet nothings to Xiao Yunxi.
So, in these more than ten years of... relationship, Xiao Yunxi had no fond memories of Zhao Ji.
Though she hadnāt heard romantic words, it didnāt mean she didnāt like hearing them.
Which woman doesnāt yearn for romance?
Xiao Yunxi raised her hand and also hugged Chen Mo, responding in kind.
After a brief moment, the two lay together, Xiao Yunxi leaning in Chen Moās embrace, and said, "Do you have any ambitions?"
"Ambitions?"
"Does having you count?" Chen Mo joked.
Xiao Yunxi shook her head and then said, "A man should have ambitions broader than just love affairs all day long.
Besides, I... I am already yours."
Chen Mo held Xiao Yunxi tightly, feeling an indescribable sense of achievement.
I have conquered the Empress of the Great Song Dynasty.
"If you have any ambitions, you can tell me. I will help you achieve them."
Xiao Yunxi confidently said, knowing she had the power to do so.
"Does this mean Iām living off a woman?" Chen Mo stroked Xiao Yunxiās hair and laughed.
"What does living off a woman mean?" Xiao Yunxi slightly frowned.
"It means being kept by you," Chen Mo said.
Hearing this, Xiao Yunxiās lips curled up, and she teasingly lifted Chen Moās chin, saying, "You can think of it that way."
"Then this dependency is delightful indeed." Saying this, Chen Mo even brought his nose close to Xiao Yunxiās chest and sniffed.
Xiao Yunxi hurriedly pushed Chen Moās head away and said angrily, "Iām being serious, tell me."
"No man can resist the lure of being destinyās favored, with longevity and prosperity."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yunxi didnāt understand what Chen Mo meant.
After all, the Jade Seal was inscribed with āDestiny is With Me, Ruler of All Lands.ā
"How many years has the Great Song Dynasty lasted?" Chen Mo asked.
Xiao Yunxi thought for a moment and then said, "Up to the third year of the Xuanhe era, itās been four hundred and seventy-one years, with four Monarchs in total."
Although Xiao Yunxi didnāt know why he asked this, she still answered.
"Four hundred and seventy-one years, thatās long enough. Itās about time for a dynasty change."
"Hmm?"
"So, how about being the Emperor?"
"You want to be the Emperor?" Xiao Yunxiās face changed, shocked beyond belief.
Never in history has there been a eunuch who became Emperor.
Although Chen Mo wasnāt really a eunuch, his status was too low.
With such a lowly status, who would support him becoming Emperor?
"Iām serious with you, and youāre joking?" Xiao Yunxi tapped Chen Mo lightly.
"Iām not joking with you. When a hero is born, does he have noble lineage to start with? If Zhao Ji can sit on the throne, why canāt I?"
To ensure his survival, Chen Mo had to overthrow Zhao Ji sooner or later; since that was the case, why not secure the throne?
Zhu Yuanzhang rose from being a beggar to becoming an Emperor.
His own conditions were much better than Zhu Yuanzhangās.
Why should he not become one?
"Hush." Xiao Yunxi covered Chen Moās mouth with her hand, saying, "Are you crazy?"
"Not crazy."
Chen Mo took Xiao Yunxiās hand away and then teased, "Iāve already done the scandalous things in the palace; why fear just one more step?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yunxi blushed, pinched Chen Moās waist, and then said, "The Zhao Family established the Great Song Dynasty because they had the foundation of the Zhao Kingdom for hundreds of years, with support from royal offspring of the Eleven Kingdoms, along with a tyrannical former Grand Ancestor whose harsh rule made the people suffer, allowing them to succeed. As for you..."
Xiao Yunxi didnāt finish her sentence.
She didnāt want to dampen Chen Moās spirits too much.
"What if I told you that in another world, a beggar once became the ruler of a nation? Would you believe it?" Chen Mo asked.
"I believe it," Xiao Yunxi stated.
"Really?"
Xiao Yunxi rolled her eyes at Chen Mo, then said, "Thatās in your dream world, right?"
Chen Mo: "..."
"So, will you help me?" Chen Mo suddenly kissed Xiao Yunxiās fragrant shoulder and asked.
"Iāll help you... help you..." Xiao Yunxi said, but in her heart, she didnāt take Chen Moās words seriously.
Chen Mo also realized this, as it was too unbelievable. Then he said, "What about becoming a military Commander?"
"Hmm, itās a bit difficult but achievable." Xiao Yunxi then said, "The Commander of the Infantry Division is my father; the Palace Guard Department is not possible, so only the Cavalry Division is feasible..."
She rambled on for half an hour.
Chen Mo finally left Xiao Yunxiās bedchamber.
At this moment, the two of them had completely confirmed their relationship.
After returning to the Maidās Room, Chen Mo tidied up briefly, carried a large bundle, and went to the courtyard where Wang Ying used to live.
Xiao Yunxi said that during the day, she had the place thoroughly cleaned.
The bedding and furniture had all been replaced with new ones.
Chen Mo could just move in directly.
As for Palace Maids, Xiao Yunxi allowed Chen Mo to choose two from Weiyang Palace or from the Courtyard Division.
She even permitted the selected maids to warm Chen Moās bed.
Because Xiao Yunxi said she couldnāt bear children for Chen Mo.
To not delay him, she allowed him to find other women to continue his lineage.
Chen Mo immediately said.
No wonder sheās capable of being Empress, truly magnanimous.
After arriving at the courtyard, Chen Mo tidied up briefly and began to simulate.
