[In the clean and tidy room, the girl in the bridal gown, combined with the double happiness character贴 on the paper window….]

[Everything gave a strong impression of a wedding night, no matter how you looked at it.]

[Ye Yu was immediately bewildered.]

[Is this the substantial gift from Sun Longhai?]

[What a joke!]

[As the Emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty, does he lack women?]

[With just a snap of his fingers, there are plenty of princesses, holy maidens, and even sect leaders who would willingly offer themselves.]

[Does he need Sun Longhai to deliver one?]

[The reason he hasn’t sought women during his reign is because he doesn’t want them to obstruct his steps into the Heavenly Realm.]

[That’s why it has been delayed until now.]

[This was a small lesson learned from previous dreams.]

[However, it’s time to say it or not, if you just look at the figure, this woman before him seems to have something special.]

[The wide bridal gown not only didn’t appear bulky, but under the candlelight, it looked quite enchanting.]

[Hiss, the light veil of the bridal gown.]

[This thing is even more captivating than the battle attire of those dual cultivation sects.]

[It’s very well-designed.]

[At this moment, Huangfu Baizhi was also extremely nervous.]

[Although her view was obscured by the veil, she could still sense Ye Yu standing right in front of her through her spiritual sense.]

[What exactly is this about?]

[Why doesn’t he come over to lift the veil?]

[Could it be that he’s still admiring this bridal gown?]

[Thinking of this, Huangfu Baizhi felt immense shyness.]

[The gown didn’t seem like much at first glance, but once worn, it was surprisingly breathable.]

[At first, Huangfu Baizhi didn’t want to wear it.]

[But considering it was a gift from Ye Yu, she figured he would also like to see her in this bridal gown.]

[So, she mustered the courage to put it on.]

[But that doesn’t mean Huangfu Baizhi wasn’t embarrassed.]

[Seeing that Ye Yu remained unmoved, Huangfu Baizhi had no choice but to softly say: Your Majesty, it’s time to lift the veil!]

[Upon hearing this, Ye Yu’s expression changed drastically. This voice—why does it sound so familiar?]

[He immediately stepped forward and lifted the woman’s veil.]

[Looking at Huangfu Baizhi, adorned with light make up, Ye Yu couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.]

[He knew Huangfu Baizhi was beautiful, but he never expected that, after dressing up, this usually fierce and unparalleled female general could be so enchanting.]

[The stark contrast left him feeling at a loss.]

[Huangfu Baizhi softly said: Your Majesty, why are you staring at me like this?]

[Is there something wrong with my makeup?]

[Ye Yu’s face grew awkward:]

[No. But how did you end up here, dressed like this?]

[Upon hearing this, Huangfu Baizhi’s originally flushed face suddenly turned pale.]

[She looked at Ye Yu in disbelief, her heart aching.]

[Your Majesty, is it really so entertaining to toy with me?]

[Ye Yu furrowed his brows slightly.]

[He looked at Huangfu Baizhi, who had tears streaming down her face.]

[He hurriedly asked: Why are you saying this?]

[Huangfu Baizhi gave a self-deprecating smile.]

[The bridal gown hidden in the storage ring you gave me, was a hint.]

[And then sending Sun Longhai to the extreme north to fetch me, calling me ‘Your Majesty.’]

[You’ve made me live in a fantasy.]

[But after meeting, you ask why I’m here.]

[If all of this was to avenge my rebellion, then I accept it.]

[As long as you’re satisfied, it’s fine.]

[But I don’t blame you, really don’t blame you!]

[I only regret being so foolish, not knowing what’s good for me, and daring to like you.]

[Now, becoming a clown is entirely my own fault!]

[Your Majesty, your revenge is very successful.]

[Upon hearing this, Ye Yu was quite surprised.]

[A bridal gown in the storage ring?]

[He truly didn’t know this. Since he received the storage ring, he hadn’t looked closely at it.]

[He had handed it over to Huangfu Baizhi.]

[If there was indeed a bridal gown inside, it might indeed lead to such misunderstandings.]

[But what was Sun Longhai playing at?]

[Why did he even call Huangfu Baizhi ‘Your Majesty’?]

[Never mind, there must be some misunderstanding here.]

[He had merely looked at Huangfu Baizhi a few more times back then, and this fool thought of bringing her into the harem.]

[This time, it’s probably another mistake.]

[Seeing Huangfu Baizhi with tears streaming down her face, Ye Yu genuinely felt a pang of sympathy.]

[It seemed she was telling the truth; if she didn’t care, she wouldn’t be so distressed.]

[But at this moment, even if Ye Yu explained that it was all a misunderstanding, Huangfu Baizhi probably wouldn’t believe him.]

[So how should he resolve this?]

[Ye Yu was a bit troubled.]

[Huangfu Baizhi wiped away her tears and said softly: Your Majesty, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now.]

[Don’t worry, I will never appear before you again. I will leave the Northern Desolate Continent.]

[Ye Yu grabbed Huangfu Baizhi’s wrist, preventing her from leaving.]

[She forced a bitter smile and said: Does Your Majesty feel that toying with me is not enough?]

[Do you still want my body?]

[Ye Yu stared at Huangfu Baizhi for a moment, and said coldly: Cry, cry, cry. Why are you crying? I was just joking with you. Is it necessary to be so dramatic?]

[The bridal gown was indeed given by me!]

[Sun Longhai came to fetch you because I arranged it!]

[I just wanted you to enter the palace as the empress. Don’t you want that?]

[Huangfu Baizhi’s eyes widened in shock.]

[Such a huge twist—what was going on?]

[Ye Yu didn’t give her much time to think.]

[He decisively stepped forward and began to teach her the “Kun” calligraphy style!]

[So what if it’s a mistake?]

[The meat is already on the plate.]

[Why should she run away?]

[Moreover, Huangfu Baizhi is so beautiful. What harm is there in giving her the position of empress?]

[Currently, Ye Yu was at the early stage of Ascension.]

[At most, he would just gamble a bit.]

[He simply betted that a love affair in the dream would not necessarily affect him every time!]

[If it turns out the same this time, Ye Yu would directly choose to become a monk in his dream simulations from now on!]

[That night, Ye Yu was in high spirits and couldn’t stop practicing calligraphy.]

[When he walked out of the house the next morning, he felt exceptionally refreshed.]

[To his surprise, Sun Longhai was still waiting outside.]

[Seeing Ye Yu come out, he quickly approached and asked if the gift pleased the Emperor.]

[As a qualified lackey, Sun Longhai would never miss any opportunity to show his face, just like now.]

[Ye Yu revealed a sinister smile.]

[I like it, I like it very much, but there’s something I need to ask you personally!]

[For the next incense stick’s worth of time, Ye Yu gave Sun Longhai a thorough beating, leaving him bruised and battered, and then inquired about Huangfu Baizhi.]

[When he learned that Sun Longhai had mistaken “one person to be suppressed” as “one person to marry,” Ye Yu immediately continued his beating.]

[Bruised and battered, Sun Longhai struggled to his feet.]

[He quickly said: It was my fault, I must have had donkey hair in my ears, I’ll go and drive Huangfu Baizhi away right now!]

[Ye Yu kicked him back to the ground.]

[You called her Huangfu Baizhi?]

[From now on, call her Empress!]

[Sun Longhai was stunned.]

[Not a concubine, but an Empress?]

[The status has risen so much?]

[It seemed that His Majesty truly liked Huangfu Baizhi.]

[But if that’s the case, then why beat him up?]
