° To be fair, the emperor would give each of his concubines a chance to prove themself. After getting to know all of them, he decided to spend ever night in Bai Meili’s courtyard. As Ting Zi prevented one disaster after another, everything went fine. Their feelings kept on growing.

° “Miss, Ting Zi thinks miss should ask for his Majesty’s permission first,” Ting Zi looked at the male version of Bai Meili, “His majesty might be testing your loyalty. It’s dangerous outside. What if somebody kidnaps you?”

° “Do you think I didn’t try? Ting Zi, don’t try to persuade me,” Bai Meili checked herself before a mirror, “No matter how much I begged, he still went to war, leaving me behind.”

° “Miss, his majesty likes you very much. I’m sure his majesty ordered his shadow guards to protect you. At the moment, they are probably laughing at miss’s childish temper,” Ting Zi made an assumption on the spot.

° “I didn’t sense anyone nearby. Ting Zi, this is an order,” Bai Meili turned around, her expression urgent, “I’ll sell you out if you don’t help me.”

° Ting Zi avoided her miss’s gaze, looking at the window, she answered calmly, “Sell me.”

° Bai Meili’s expression turned dark. Ting Zi dared to refuse her orders again! She spoiled her maid too much! If she didn’t teach her a lesson, she was not Bai Meili! “You’re just a punny slave. Don’t get too full of yourself,” she called out another of her maids, “Ting Zi refused to listen to my orders. As punishment, she receives no food for three days.”

° “Miss, the security in this place is tighter than miss’s old home,” giving the last warning, Ting Zi bowed down and walked out of the room to receive her punishment.

° “What did you do?” The other maid asked curiously.

.....

° “Miss gave me two choices. To obey, or to be sold,” Ting Zi replied truthfully, “I choose to be sold.”

° The maid opened her eyes wide, “Ting Zi! You are playing with fire! ”

° Ting Zi looked ahead at the greenery, her expression bland as always, “Our miss is a very benevolent person, isn’t she? I misbehaved, and she still forgave me.”

° “Y-Yes, she is...” The maid looked around and whispered to Ting Zi, “I’ll share my food with you.”

° Nodding, Ting Zi’s lips curled up.

° After Ting Zi got rid of the main competitors, Bai Meili’s standing in the harem became far above other concubines. She made sure that every woman in the harem felt inferiority complex. Nobody dared to go against a woman who had his majesty’s favor. One word and they’d die! 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

· · — · ???· — · ·

° Everything changed when his majesty returned with a woman of lowly status. She was not as beautiful or skilled as Bai Meili, and still, he gave her more attention than any other woman.

° ‘How? Why?’

° When Ting Zi asked around, she discovered that the new woman was his majesty’s childhood sweetheart, a slave like Ting Zi. Bai Meili received everyone’s pity while that woman received all the hate. What’s worse, his majesty ordered Ting Zi to be that woman’s maid! So if something ever happened to that woman, Bai Meili would be the one at fault.

° Today, Ting Zi had been ordered by her new miss Lu Wan to stay back for dinner with his majesty, “...” Listening to the order obediently, Ting Zi picked up a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice; her eyes were glued to the table filled with food. While chewing on rice, her ears tried to ignore the sucking and kissing sound of the two people before her, “...”

° She never saw his majesty behaving like that towards miss Bai Meili. Ting Zi was confused. What’s so special about miss Lu Wan?

° ‘It’s probably because of the childhood bond between them. Who knows what they went through in the past.’

° Ting Zi lifted her gaze to have a look, and here he was, staring right back at her. The longer they looked at each other, the deeper he kissed Lu Wan, “...”

° ‘It seems like his majesty has a thing for slave girls. He didn’t punish me when I looked him in the eyes. Does he like it?’

° Ting Zi took a bite of her banana fritters and studied the way he kissed the woman on his lap.

° ‘Is kissing better than food?’

° ‘Why is he not eating?’

° The man suddenly stopped at his action, “You must be hungry,” he spoke calmly to the blushing woman on his lap, grabbing his chopsticks, he picked a piece of banana fritters. Placing it before Lu Wan’s lips, he ordered, “Try this.” When Lu Wan finished her food, he resumed with the kissing while his eyes were on Ting Zi.

° “...” The food inside of Ting Zi’s mouth started to taste strange. Not touching any more food, she indicated that she was full. Continuing watching them, she waited, and waited, until the woman on his lap fainted, “....”

° Placing the woman on the bed as if nothing happened, he walked back to the table, rinsing his mouth with the tea, he smiled at the confused maid, “Come here.”

° ‘The bond is not as strong as I thought. There is still a chance for miss Bai Meili.’

° Ting Zi quickly processed the situation, standing up, she walked before him, “Your Majesty...”

° He abruptly yanked down her hand, grabbing her neck, he stared at her eyes, “Do you like us?” When Ting Zi nodded, he locked their lips together, the bitter tea blended with the mild taste of the sweet banana, “Is this your first time?” he asked, noticing how she tried to copy him.

° Ting Zi nodded her head, “Is it bad?”

° “Very bad,” he bit her bottom lip hard, resulting in Ting Zi hissing in pain, “See? that’s how much you are hurting us.” But when she barely touched his lips, as if afraid of hurting him, he ordered her to switch back.

° It didn’t take long for Lu Wan to wake up. She opened her eyes in shock when she saw the ambitious scene playing out before her eyes. Sitting on his lap, her supposed to be maid was currently being stripped by none other than his majesty!

° While Ting Zi’s exposed collarbone was being kissed and sucked, she turned towards her miss. Smiling, Ting Zi licked her swollen lips in the provocation, only for them to be caught in a passionate kiss again.

° ‘Come and stop him.’

° Rage and jealousy filled Lu Wan’s heart, closing her eyes, she tried to gain back his attention, “Ru Quan, I suddenly feel weak,” her tone was unstable and sickly. At the same time, she tried to get rid of that eyesore, “Ting Zi, go ask the doctor for a prescription for headache.”

° When Ting Zi left the room, Ru Quan drank his tea while gazing at the woman who saved his life a long time ago. In exchange, he gave Lu Wan status and his body. “She saved my life too,” he lied. There’s nothing between him and Ting Zi. If Lu Wan thought that she could control him only because she saved his life, then she was mistaken.

° ‘Hm, should I kill miss Lu Wan or not?’

° Ting Zi didn’t understand the concept of morals. She saw nothing wrong with killing people. Not even innocent ones. There was no guilt, no pity. For Ting Zi, survival was all that mattered.

° ‘Food is indeed better than kissing.’

° After knowing that Lu Wan didn’t hold any special place in his majesty’s heart, Ting Zi started to exploit Lu Wan’s inner demons. No matter how much Lu Wan threatened her, Ting Zi would always respond with a silent smile.

° Not used to the scheming in the palace, Consort Lu Wan was like a little lamb thrown into a tiger’s den, no, Ting Zi’s den.
