Chapter 538: Chapter 540 Gentle and Jade-like Yi Shaochen (4)
A streak of white light flashed by, coming to a stop in front of Mu Ruyue.
Under her gaze, that massive body gradually became more slender. The once tender Little White had lost its naivety, and the delicate, angelic face began to show the youthful greenness of adolescence.
His body was long and perfect, well-proportioned, with a pale skin that glowed softly. He watched the woman standing before him with a smile at the corner of his lips.
“Mother, Little White has finally grown up.” He laughed happily, his eyes brimming with joy. The sunny smile of the youth was like a ray of light shining into Mu Ruyue’s chest, warming her heart.
“You grow every time you have a breakthrough?” Mu Ruyue arched an eyebrow. “So by the time you reach the status of a God, won’t you already be old?”
“That’s not true,” Little White pouted adorably, his youthful face showing a hint of dissatisfaction, “Little White will only grow from childhood to adulthood. After that, my growth will be just like that of humans. Once I reach a certain level, I can live forever without aging.”
Mu Ruyue’s eyes twinkled with laughter, and she said no more. She turned her head to look at Yan Jin’s features, with a slight arch in her brow: “Yan Jin, you’ve worked hard during this time.”
Yan Jin raised an eyebrow with dominant aura, his handsome face filled with a smile: “Girl, it was I who chose to follow you at the beginning, and I will never regret my decision from now on!”
And he had indeed never regretted it…
“Aunt, you must stand up for me!”
Within the inner court of the Imperial Palace, Liu Yu threw herself into the Empress’s embrace, tearfully pleading: “If Aunt does not stand up for me, then I would rather die!”
A trace of impatience flickered in the Empress’s eyes, although her dignified and resplendent face was all smiles as she asked softly, “Yu’er, what happened this time? Why are you crying like this? Let Aunt take a look. Our beautiful Yu’er should not have her face all cried out like this.”
Lifting her delicate face, Liu Yu said resentfully, “Aunt, it’s Brother Shaochen. Brother Shaochen brought a woman back to the Prince Mansion and… and he kicked me out for that woman! Woo-woo, Brother Shaochen has never treated me like this before.”
“A woman?” The Empress frowned. “What kind of woman is she?”
“She is an ugly woman who was injured and picked up by Brother Shaochen,” Liu Yu spoke through gritted teeth with hatred, “That hideous creature must have used some witchcraft or Poisonous Insect to bewitch Brother Shaochen’s heart, making him protect her so. Aunt, it’s so unfair! You must take a stand for me!”
The Empress massaged her temples, slightly troubled, and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Yu’er. Aunt will surely stand up for you in this matter. You are the Princess Consort of Chen Prince Mansion; that will never change.”
“But that woman…”
“If Chenchen likes her, we could let her become his concubine,” the Empress said indifferently, as if discussing the most commonplace matter.
Liu Yu’s body shook violently. Just thinking about Brother Shaochen, the man she deeply loved, engaging in intimate acts with another woman made her heart ache unbearably.
“Yu’er,” the Empress, noticing Liu Yu’s shaking, gently grasped her hand, “Chenchen is a prince of the Royal Family, destined to have many concubines. Almost every woman will go through this. Even as the Empress, I have to arrange for other women to attend to His Majesty every night. Although it deeply upsets me, as the Mother of the Nation and the Mistress of the harem, I must do so.”
