We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

”Your servants greet Your Majesty. We hope Your Majesty is well.”

Before the Yangxin Hall, Yan Ruxue and Qin Siyao bowed before Xiao Mo.

”I am well.” Xiao Mo looked at the two consorts before him and said slowly, ”Rise, both of you.”

”Thank you, Your Majesty.”

The two women straightened up, folding their hands before them as they stood at Xiao Moʼs side, looking every bit the picture of gentle obedience but now that Xiao Mo knew they were both cultivators of the Middle Three Realms and that they each had their own hidden purposes, he felt a measure of wariness toward them that had not been there before.

Moreover, in Xiao Moʼs estimation, the two of them surely already knew that Jiang Qingyi had told him about the events of the previous night.

After all, that had likely been one of the conditions the three of them had agreed upon yet at this moment, they acted exactly as they always had, as though nothing from the night before had ever happened.

”Let us go. The hour is not early. We need to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager.” Xiao Mo said to the two of them.

Since they had not brought it up, Xiao Mo naturally had no reason to be ungracious about it either, and he likewise acted as though nothing had happened at all.

”Yes, Your Majesty.”

Yan Ruxue gave a composed and graceful bow and fell in at Xiao Moʼs side.

”Then let us hurry, Brother Emperor...”

Qin Siyao was still bouncing about at Xiao Moʼs side like a lively little rabbit.

The three of them boarded the imperial palanquin and set off together toward Lingxin Palace.

On the palanquin, Yan Ruxue poured Xiao Mo a cup of tea, her expression entirely at ease, without any air of competing for his favor. And yet her every move and gesture was considerate of Xiao Mo in the most thoughtful way.

Xiao Mo even felt that a single glance from him was all it took for this Yan family woman to know exactly what he wanted.

It seemed this Yan family woman was exceptionally skilled at caring for others.

On the other side, Qin Siyao was feeding Xiao Mo fruit, her playful manner utterly charming, her eyes brimming with warmth and affection for him.

Xiao Mo found himself at a loss to tell whether the two of them were performing or not.

Because judging solely from how they were behaving, they truly seemed like his wives, treating him genuinely as their husband in every sense.

After about the time it takes to burn one stick of incense, the palanquin came to a stop, and the three of them arrived at the entrance of Lingxin Palace.

Xiao Mo led the two consorts inside together.

Empress Dowager Yan had long been waiting for the three of them to arrive.

”Your son greets the Empress Dowager. May we ask if the Empress Dowager is well?”

”Your servant greets the Empress Dowager. May we ask if the Empress Dowager is well?”

With Xiao Mo at the head, the three of them bowed respectfully before Empress Dowager Yan.

”Well, well, of course I am well. How could I not be? Today is a wonderful day.”

Empress Dowager Yan smiled and stepped forward to help the three of them rise.

”How is it? Are you settling in comfortably in the inner palace? If anything is not to your liking, simply tell me or His Majesty. There is no need to endure it in silence.”

Empress Dowager Yan took Yan Ruxue and Qin Siyao by the hand with great warmth and sat together with them on the soft couch, asking after their well-being with genuine care.

It seemed that in Empress Dowager Yanʼs eyes, whether it was the Yan familyʼs daughter or the First Princess of the Qin Kingdom, she regarded them both with equal affection.

”In reply to the Empress Dowager, this palace feels just like home to your servant. Your servant has settled in very well,” Yan Ruxue said with a smile.

”Indeed, Empress Dowager! Brother Emperor has been very kind to both Ruxue Elder Sister and me,” Qin Siyao said, her eyes curving into a smile.

”As long as you are happy. You two are both dear to my heart. In the future, the affairs of this inner palace will be in your hands.”

Empress Dowager Yan held the soft hands of the two women and spoke with earnest sincerity, like a true elder imparting heartfelt guidance to those younger than herself.

”I know too that the inner palace is not like the outside world, and that there is not quite as much freedom here, but it is not as bleak as an icehouse either.”
