"Ah …" Shen Zhiqiao felt both shocked and ashamed as he cursed, "You're shameless!"

At this moment, Shen Zhiqiao had completely forgotten his identity as the emperor. In front of her, there was only a young man who happily bullied her.

Perhaps, from the start, Shen Zhiqiao wasn't afraid of his identity. She was afraid of him simply because he had inexplicably plundered her.

His attitude towards her was the same as when he had first transmigrated, Qi Mujing's attitude towards her made her unable to find a reason to be nice to him.

These days, she could feel that he was treating her well, so she was afraid and rejected him. She could no longer accept this with peace of mind!

Tuoba Yu's eyes suddenly darkened.

Shen Zhi Qiao was trapped by him, so he didn't dare look down.

He raised his head, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her on the lips.

Without giving her a chance to fight back, he bit her lip, and the sudden ferocity he exuded made him think for a moment that he was going too far.

However, in the next moment, he suddenly loosened his grip on her lips, bent down, and picked up her clothes that were scattered on the ground.

Ye Zichen frowned, then covered her up with a dark expression.

Tuoba Yu really didn't have much experience helping the girl put on her clothes. He watched as his face turned darker and colder.

Shen Zhi Qiao tactfully grabbed the clothes in his hands, "I, I'll do it myself!"

Tuoba Yu's subordinate's movements paused for a second, then his lips tightened as he said hoarsely, "Don't move!"

After saying that, he pulled back his undergarment and carefully studied it for a while. Then, he once again went over and patiently wore it.

Shen Zhi Qiao lowered his head to take a look, and the corner of his lips twitched. His voice became softer and softer, "It's the opposite …"

Reverse?

Tuoba Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.

"Um, wearing it backwards …" To be honest, Shen Zhiqiao really wanted to grab her and put her clothes on, but he was afraid that he would be unhappy and do something to her, so he lowered his voice to a whisper.

She was not stupid, this was not the time for her to put on an act.

Tuoba Yu's handsome face flashed with a blush. He seemed to have gotten angry from embarrassment as he tore open his undergarment and threw it on the ground. He then casually helped her put on the outer garment and tied her up.

From start to finish, Shen Zhi Qiao did not dare to make a sound. Only when he was pulling away, he looked longingly at the items on the table that he had yet to use.

Tuoba Yu glanced at her with a sullen expression, "Things can't fly here. If you want to come back in the future, that's fine!"

Shen Zhi Qiao was stunned.

In the future?!

She did not intend to stay in the palace for long. If possible, she would rather leave now.

If it wasn't for his unsightly expression, she was sure he would have mentioned the matter of leaving already.

After what had just happened, she was more and more certain that she wanted to leave as soon as possible.

He sighed in his heart. The moment he stepped through the door, Shen Zhiqiao once again looked at the box filled with hundreds of grains of dirt that he couldn't bear to part with.

Hou Mansion.

"Miss, your wedding dress is simply too beautiful. It's even prettier than the peach blossoms in that courtyard." The little girl's mouth seemed to be smeared with honey as she chattered into Shen Shuzhi's ear.

He frowned unhappily, "Xiang'er, has the marquis returned?"

"He returned early. Right now, he is in the study room discussing some matters with General Duan." Xiang'er replied as she tidied up the slight wrinkles on her wedding gown.

"Oh …" Shen Yun Zhi turned around and asked with raised eyebrows, "May I know what it is?"

"It seems to be about the Empress Dowager's birthday."

The empress dowager's birthday?!

"When is the empress dowager's birthday?" Shen Shuzhi asked.

Xiang'er shook her head. "I'm not sure about the specifics, but Miss should ask Master Hou."

Just as Xiang'er finished speaking, a tall figure appeared at the door.

His clothes were snow-white, and his aura was like that of an immortal.

Shen Shuzhi glanced at Xiang'er, smiling warmly as he took Qi Mujing's arm. "Jing, I've heard that the empress dowager's birthday is coming up. I wonder which day it will be?"

Qi Mujing patted her hand and led her to a chair, "I came today for this."

"Oh?" Shen Shu Zhi arched his eyebrows.

Qi Mujing sat on a stool next to her and took a sip of tea Xiang'er had prepared for him. "The empress dowager attaches great importance to this, and wishes to invite powerful subjects to celebrate together …"

As he spoke, he glanced at her apologetically. "And the empress dowager's birthday feast just so happens to be our wedding day …"

"Isn't our wedding only ten days from now? The empress dowager's birthday is also ten days from now?"

Isn't this too much of a coincidence?!

"Ten days later is not the birthday of the empress dowager, but this year's birthday, according to the calendar, is the birthday of the empress dowager, and should not be celebrated.

In addition, there was a custom of celebrating in advance but not delaying the date of birth. Therefore, officials from the Ministry of Rites checked the calendar and decided on the day of our wedding.

Everything happened so suddenly. The imperial court was filled with civil and military officials, and preparations were being made outside the palace for the empress dowager's birthday.

On the day of the empress dowager's birthday banquet, the emperor ordered all officials to bring their families to the palace to offer their congratulations … "

The meaning behind Qi Mujing's words was very obvious.

This marriage wouldn't be possible in ten days!

Unhappiness quickly flashed through his eyes. Shen Shuzhi's lips curved into a smile as he gently said, "Since there's no other way, we can only postpone our wedding."

Qi Mujing revealed a smile, and held her hand, "Zhi'er, I've wronged you!"

Shen Yun Zhi's lips curled up into a smile, "This matter is of utmost importance."

Dragon's Nest.

Seeing the sky darken, Shen Zhi Qiao paced around the hall anxiously.

Earlier, he had left after dragging her back to the Dragon's Nest, his face unfriendly.

Afterwards, she stayed in the palace and couldn't go anywhere because the servant girl at the door didn't give her freedom.

When she stepped out of the door, they immediately followed with their heels. If she pretended to be angry, they would just kneel on the ground.

He was not used to being followed like this, so he decided to stay in the hall and brood over it for the rest of the day.

But the later it was, the more she couldn't stay calm. She stayed in the Dragon's Nest last night and was surrounded by a lot of women in the morning. If she stayed another night, she would be worried for her life.

Moreover, the Dragon's Nest Palace was the emperor's chambers. Someone would definitely come back tonight. Did this mean that the two of them would have to be alone again …
