Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 328 - 326 She can do it, you can’t

Looking at herself in the mirror, Xiao Yunxi dismissed Cai'Er who was doing her hair, turned around and changed into a glamorous red dress, put on black silk stockings, and applied the lipstick Chen Mo liked the most.

Then, she spun around in front of the Copper Mirror, and her shapely figure was alluring.

Only then did Xiao Yunxi sit down on the soft couch, pulling her skirt down a bit to cover her black silk-clad legs.

But after sitting for a while, Chen Mo still hadn't arrived, and she was somewhat dissatisfied with her current posture, so she leaned lazily against the soft couch.

This way, once Chen Mo entered the inner hall, he would see her on the couch right away.

Shortly after.

"Empress Dowager, General Chen Hong has arrived."

Cai'Er's voice sounded from outside the hall.

Xiao Yunxi's expression shifted, as did her eyebrows, as she sat up to take the Copper Mirror placed beside her. Just as she stretched out her hand, she paused mid-motion, thought for a moment, then lay back down, her face calming, casually flipping through a book, and replied, "Let him in."

"Yes. General Chen Hong, please enter." Cai'Er said.

Xiao Qing'Er glanced at Chen Mo but ultimately did not search him, allowing him to enter.

After tidying his attire slightly, Chen Mo stepped into the Empress Dowager's bedchamber.

Upon entering the inner hall, a faint fragrance wafted over, prompting Chen Mo to inhale deeply several times, then he saw the beautiful woman in a red dress lying on the soft couch reading a book, her skirt spread like a peacock's tail, indescribably alluring.

Chen Mo was slightly stunned; today's attire of Xiao Yunxi had indeed struck him with amazement.

With Cai'Er nearby, Chen Mo respectfully bowed: "Greetings, Empress Dowager."

Xiao Yunxi deliberately assumed a calm and casual posture so he wouldn't think she was overly eager, then put down the book, glanced at Chen Mo, instantly feeling slightly weak, closing her legs together.

Chen Mo wore a snow-white straight-collared robe, the fabric draping perfectly, his waist cinched with a broad moon-white belt embroidered with cloud patterns, from which hung only a finely-crafted black jade, rugged in shape yet modestly elegant.

His black hair was casually tied with a silver thread, absent of a crown or hairpin, with a few wisps hanging at the corner of his eyes, carrying a hint of roguish charm, smiling at the Empress Dowager.

Before entering the palace, Chen Mo intentionally dressed up, and with his naturally handsome looks, the embellishment elevated his appearance several notches.

Earlier, outside the hall, he made both Cai'Er and Xiao Qing'Er gaze at him in a daze, with the former following him absent-mindedly.

Suppressing her wandering thoughts, Xiao Yunxi composedly sat up, tugging her skirt a bit lower: "…Chen Hong, you're here? Sit down, Cai'Er, you may leave, without my permission, no one is to enter."

"Yes." Cai'Er bowed and exited.

Seeing Cai'Er had retreated, Chen Mo, who was kneeling beside, immediately stood and went over to sit beside Xiao Yunxi on the soft couch.

This startled Xiao Yunxi: "You... what are you doing? Qing'Er and the others are outside."

Chen Mo chuckled, you yourself said no one is allowed to enter without your permission, isn't this a hint?

He said nothing, looking at Xiao Yunxi's full, bright red lips with a hint of lipstick, her fair and slender neck... exquisite like a full moon, unable to restrain himself, he leaned down to kiss her.

Xiao Yunxi dodged, holding Chen Mo's forehead with her hand: "I have something serious to discuss, don't... don't always be so handsy."

As she spoke, her face flushed red.

Chen Mo was taken aback; he thought Xiao Yunxi had specifically summoned him to the palace for that reason, but unexpectedly, there was indeed business to discuss.

But her words did not deter him; he reached for her ankle.

But soon, he was stunned.

Because Xiao Yunxi was wearing black silk.

Is this really about business?

As he spoke, Chen Mo again attempted to kiss her. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Xiao Yunxi blushed deeply, saying don't look while stopping Chen Mo from taking advantage, teased: "Listen to me first."

Seeing Xiao Yunxi struggling, he reluctantly stopped but rested her black silk-clad leg on his own, gently stroking it.

"Can you keep your hands to yourself and let me speak?" Xiao Yunxi restrained her fluttering heart, speaking.

"You speak your piece, I'll do my thing," Chen Mo said earnestly.

"You..." Xiao Yunxi bit her lower lip, helpless against Chen Mo, yet she could not muster any anger towards him, saying: "Do you still remember what I told you a few days ago?"

"I remember, what about it?"

"I found out, there's another legitimate daughter of the Wu Family named Wu Xin'Er, the youngest granddaughter of the previous Wu family head, only sixteen but already a Fifth Grade Martial Artist, talented and excelling, and with you…"

Chen Mo was stunned, not expecting Xiao Yunxi to truly help match him with a legitimate daughter of a prestigious family, now even having someone in mind, he laughed: "Aunt, do you really wish to push your man away like that?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunxi froze for a moment, but quickly reacted, Yi Yao called her aunt, so why wouldn't Chen Mo do the same, feeling both ashamed and angry, she tapped Chen Mo's chest: "You… what nonsense are you spouting, seeking a beating, you are not... allowed to call me... Aunt."

"Why not, didn't you let Yaoyao call you aunt?"

"She can, you can't. Anyway, you just can't..." Xiao Yunxi stammered in embarrassment.

Chen Mo laughed heartily but quickly lowered his volume fearing Xiao Qing'Er outside the hall might hear.

He stopped teasing her, pinched Xiao Yunxi's delicate nose, then embraced her in his arms, the two of them collapsing onto the soft couch, entwined together.

"Yunxi, I know you're doing this for me, but..." Chen Mo spoke at length, the gist being he appreciated her intentions but regarding Wu Xin'Er, it was better to let it be.

Honestly speaking, although Xiao Yunxi touted Wu Xin'Er's beauty, Chen Mo was uninterested; he already had enough on his plate, and involvement with the Wu family would only attract more attention.

Moreover, as a legitimate daughter of the Wu family, if married, she would undoubtedly be the main wife, which would definitely hurt Zhao Fujin.

Seeing Chen Mo unmoved, Xiao Yunxi was a bit surprised, saying: "Really not tempted? She's more attractive than Yaoyao."

Chen Mo shook his head, gave Xiao Yunxi a kiss, and said: "No one could be more beautiful than you, Yunxi..."

Xiao Yunxi's eyes curved in joy, teasing: "Smooth talker."

Then, she too embraced Chen Mo, sighing: "It's such a pity. Originally, I hoped Fujin would marry Wu Chang'an, and you would marry Wu Xin'Er, making ties even closer among us, but since you don't want to, just let it go."

"What?" Hearing this, Chen Mo was shocked, thankful he didn't agree, else what would this make him?

Offer his Senior Sister to marry Wu Xin'Er.

Although it wasn't his wish, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

And also...

"Wasn't the matter between Senior Sister and Wu Chang'an already voided?"
