After the banquet, the ministers paid their respects and gradually left. Consort Qian immediately walked over seductively, smiling as she linked her arm with Mo Xiao Li's and said softly, "Your Majesty, are we still going to Consort's place tonight?" She looked at him expectantly. 0
 
Mu Junqi chuckled lightly. At that moment, she wished she could escape from his side, but Mo Xiao Li pulled Consort Qian closer and said with a smile, "My beloved consort, have you forgotten? On New Year's Eve, I must spend it with the Empress in the Heavenly Sound Palace. You should go back; I will visit Guang'an Palace tomorrow." After saying this, he reached out to take Mu Junqi's hand. 0
 
Consort Qian was still unwilling to back down, playfully insisting. Finally, Mu Junqi could not take it anymore and sarcastically said, "Sister Qian, it's already late. It's better to head back early to avoid catching a cold." 0
 
Mo Xiao Li looked at Mu Junqi with affection and nodded. He turned to Pear beside him and said, "See your master back to avoid catching a cold." Then he addressed Consort Qian, saying, "Qian Er, be good. If you catch a chill, I will be heartbroken." 0
 
In the end, Consort Qian had no choice but to turn and leave. Watching her depart, Mu Junqi sighed in relief and was about to step away when Mo Xiao Li suddenly laughed and said, "My beloved consort looks quite charming when she's jealous." 0
 
She stopped and turned to look at Mo Xiao Li in disbelief. "Your Majesty must be mistaken; Consort is not jealous; she merely thinks it's cold." In truth, under the cover of night, no one could see Mu Junqi's flushed cheeks. 0
 
Just as she was about to get on the Phoenix Palanquin, Mo Xiao Li told the eunuchs, "You all can leave; I will walk back with the Empress." The crowd bowed and offered some auspicious words before departing. 0
 
Originally, Mur was supposed to accompany Mu Junqi but was pulled away by Li Fusheng. Thus, the vast palace was suddenly quiet except for the two of them. Mu Junqi looked at Mo Xiao Li in confusion and asked, "Your Majesty, why not use the Imperial Carriage? It's still quite a distance to the sleeping quarters; what if you catch a cold?" 0
 
Unexpectedly, Mo Xiao Li took a few steps forward and wrapped his arms around her. Although she had a cloak for protection against the cold weather, standing outside for too long would still make her feel chilly. Being suddenly embraced made her feel a rush of warmth. 0
 
At that moment, Mo Xiao Li said, "On such a beautiful night, would you accompany me back on foot?" Without waiting for her response, he held her close and walked forward. 0
 
Their movements were so intimate and affectionate; Mu Junqi was petite and now completely nestled in his embrace. In the quiet night, she could faintly hear his strong heartbeat as they walked together to keep warm. 0
 
As they approached Tianming Palace, Mu Junqi suddenly stopped and looked at Mo Xiao Li hesitantly trying to say something. Mo Xiao Li chuckled at her; in the stillness of the night, his laughter was so clear that Mu Junqi could feel his chest tremble lightly from it. 0
 
 
She frowned slightly at him, but unexpectedly, Mo Xiao Li suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips perfectly. The clear sensation made their lips feel somewhat cold, and the unique taste that belonged to him mixed with a faint hint of alcohol rushed into her nose. Staring wide-eyed at the person in front of her, she momentarily forgot to push him away, allowing him to linger on her lips. 0
 
His agile tongue slipped into her mouth when she was not paying attention, causing her breathing to become a bit hurried. Mo Xiao Li suddenly chuckled softly, his voice sexy and tempting, "I didn't expect my Empress to be so innocent." After saying that, he kissed her lips again. 0
 
At that moment, Mu Junqi felt the air in her chest becoming thinner, and she could clearly sense the heat on her face. Finally, Mo Xiao Li released her and held her tightly in his arms, as if treating her like a rare treasure. 0
 
Weakly collapsing in Mo Xiao Li's embrace, she gasped for breath and after a long while softly said, "Let's go back; be careful not to let others see us." 0
 
However, Mo Xiao Li pulled her closer and said in a deep voice, "What does it matter if others see me being affectionate with my woman?" 0
 
Mu Junqi didn't know what to say and could only quietly lean against him, inhaling the scent from her hair and feeling her breath. For the first time, Mo Xiao Li felt what it meant to be satisfied; the smile on his lips never faded. 0
 
In this silent winter night, the two embraced in a corner of the palace, unconcerned about the world's judgment, knowing that holding each other was everything in life. 0
 
No matter how warm it was in Mo Xiao Li's embrace, after a while Mu Junqi still felt a bit cold. Worried that she might catch a chill, Mo Xiao Li held her and walked towards Heavenly Sound Palace. 0
 
As soon as they stepped into Heavenly Sound Palace, they saw Mur and Li Fusheng standing there together. Upon seeing them, both immediately approached and bowed. In a good mood, Mo Xiao Li said, "There's nothing going on; you two should go back and rest." After saying that, he pretended to leave. 0
 
But at that moment, Mu Junqi only lowered her head and dared not look at them. The recent passionate kiss left her lips feeling hot; now that Heavenly Sound Palace was bright as day, if they were seen, would she still be able to continue living? 0
 
Mur was unaware of this and looked at Mu Junqi with concern. "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? Why are you keeping your head down and not speaking?" At that moment, Mu Junqi really wanted to knock out the person in front of her but still softly said, "It's nothing; you should go rest." 0
 
However, Mur refused to give up, fearing something might really be wrong with her. Ultimately, Mu Junqi had no choice but to raise her head to look at her. But Mur foolishly asked, "Your Highness, what happened to your lips? Are you allergic to something?" After saying that, she seemed to mutter to herself again, "But you were fine just now." 0
 
 
As soon as the words were spoken, Mo Xiao Li smiled like a cat that had just stolen a fish, while Mu Junqi's cheeks immediately flushed with embarrassment. Only Li Fusheng looked at the two with an understanding expression. At this moment, Mur finally realized something and awkwardly bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Empress, I take my leave." After speaking, she left without a moment's hesitation. 0
 
Mu Junqi felt even more embarrassed and broke free from Mo Xiao Li's grasp to walk into the bedroom. Mo Xiao Li briefly instructed Li Fusheng before following her inside. 0
 
Upon entering, she saw Mu Junqi sitting on a stool, holding a heater in her arms, seemingly lost in thought. Mo Xiao Li walked in from behind and wrapped her arms around her, nuzzling her ear and asking, "What are you thinking about?" 0
 
"Nothing, just feeling that everything is so real; it feels like I'm living in a dream," Mu Junqi said softly, her earlier embarrassment gone, replaced by a frown. 0
 
Mo Xiao Li tightened her embrace and kissed her earlobe before speaking: "If this is a dream, I hope you never wake up. If this is reality, I hope you can face the people beside you." 0
 
Not knowing if it was just her imagination, Mu Junqi felt that Mo Xiao Li's tone was somewhat negative when she said this. She turned to respond to Mo Xiao Li: "If this is a dream, Consort hopes to wake up right now because for me, this is a nightmare." 0
 
Mo Xiao Li's body stiffened for a moment. It turned out that no matter what she did, she could not enter Mu Junqi's heart. With a helpless smile, she released Mu Junqi and walked to the window, staring outside lost in thought. 0
