Yet Rong Xi with her red eyes stubbornly refused to return with him to the Eastern Palace.

Mu Huai stroked her belly, his eyes dark and his aura overwhelming, “Will you go with me or not?”

Looking at his cold face, Rong Xi thought that she would go back to being a maidservant, just that the child in her belly would have to suffer. After returning to the palace, Rong Xi became a second rank liangdi.

As Rong Xi’s body slowly became bigger, everyone said that the Crown Prince was about to marry his principal consort, and she, the liangdi with no background, was about to meet her doom. Mu Huai stared at her small face and spoke nonchalantly, “Just focus on safely giving birth to the child. Who the principal consort is will have nothing to do with you.”

A few days later, Rong Xi received the imperial edict declaring her as the principal consort. Just as the Crown Prince came home drunk, he stared at the surprised beauty and raised his eyebrows, “Satisfied? My consort.”

Seeing the beauty at a loss for words, the man became dissatisfied and immediately showed a fierce expression, viciously commanding (but actually shamefully begging), “Come here, let me hug you.”

Little Theater:
When Emperor Wu, Mu Huai, ascended the throne, he dismissed the harem, and Rong Xi became the solely favored Empress. The pregnant beauty’s face was soft and beautiful, carrying a slight frown because of cramps in her calf.

Seeing this, the ruthless and vicious air around the Emperor gradually dissipated. He rubbed his Empress’s calf and spoke in a cold voice with a hint of pampering, “Xi’er has it hard, let zhen help you rub it so it won’t hurt anymore.”
