Chapter 219

“Yes, yes! Your Majesty has finally taken the initiative after waiting for so long.” said one of the maids.

Another maid took Ye Mu’s hand and said with sparkling eyes, “Young miss, you have to work hard! Try to quickly become pregnant with an imperial son in one go! That way, your future as the queen is guaranteed and you can live honorably from then on!”

“What!” Ye Mu exclaimed. She was both annoyed and amused by their comments. These palace maids have been with her for a long time, so they don’t seem to be afraid of her at all now.

“You do realize that I’m only twelve, right?!” Ye Mu placed her hands on her waist and pretended to say angrily, “Are you all so eager to watch me get married off?”

The oldest maid laughed, “It’s because we don’t want young miss to get married off that we hope for you to marry His Majesty. Plus—”

She took Ye Mu’s hand again, “Although twelve years old seems young, you can still build an intimate relationship with His Majesty early on. That way, we don’t have to worry as much anymore.”

Ye Mu was simply at a loss for words.

“Okay, so all of you were so blinded by worry that you’ve forgotten that I’m still a child.”

The other maids laughed merrily.

“They’re just teasing you!” the head maid replied while fixing Ye Mu’s messy bun.

“His Majesty treats you tenderly, so how could he possibly bully you when you’re still not mature yet? We have all witnessed how His Majesty pampers you all these years. There’s no need for you to worry about this.”

Ye Mu felt a little embarrassed after hearing their words. Although she lived in the palace, she had never followed any proper etiquette. Her freedom was because Mo Linyuan had continuously indulged her.

Even if she slept with him during the night, Ye Mu believed that he wouldn’t do anything but tease her at the most.

Ye Mu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It got dark quickly.

Ye Mu continued to linger in the bathwater and refused to go out. Originally, they’d agreed that she’d live in the side chamber. However, once she arrived at his palace, Mo Linyuan, that guy, changed his mind unsurprisingly. He said that the side chamber wasn’t ready, so they’d take care of it tomorrow.

Damn it! How could the palace where the emperor lives not have a side chamber ready? He was clearly messing with her!

Yet, the sad part was that she couldn’t even call him out on his schemes.

At that moment, the head of the maids walked in. She stood behind the screen and giggled, “Young miss, Your Majesty said if you don’t come out, he’ll come in.”

“Huh?” Ye Mu was shocked. She folded her arms across her chest, “Got it, I’m coming out now!”

Damn it! Screw it! I might as well head out. I doubt Mo Linyuan would dare to do anything!

About an hour later, Ye Mu stood at the foot of the bed hugging a soft pillow.

As a twelve-year-old girl, she naturally gave off the sweetest appearance without doing anything. She slightly curled her fair and tender feet on the golden tiles. Her ink-colored hair scattered on her shoulders. She stared at the imperial intently with her pair of huge black eyes, unsure of what to do.

The pillow was something she suddenly wanted on an urge. When Mo Linyuan found out her wish, he collected the softest swan goose down feathers to create her dream pillow, which she brought with her today.

As for Mo Linyuan, he was currently sitting on the bed reading a book, eyes not lifting.

Ye Mu looked at the three-meter wide bed in front of her. She hesitated for a moment before climbing up from the foot of the bed. She placed her pillow comfortably and prepared to sleep when Mo Linyuan suddenly chuckled.

“You plan on sleeping by the foot of the bed the entire night?”

Ye Mu’s back stiffened, “I just like to curl up into a ball when I sleep.”

Mo Linyuan put his book aside and commanded, “Come here. You can curl up in my arms.”
