I woke up as the Villainous Empress

Outside the palace, many people still questioned the relationship between Yang Ning and Zheng Liang, as there hadn\'t been any good news about the couple or any announcements of an heir to the Empire. However, as the people serving them, they were well aware of how much the Crown Prince loved and adored the Princess.

The couple was inseparable, and their deep bond was evident to those who served them closely.

The senior court lady, also present, shot a disapproving glare at the young maids and court ladies who were still giggling at the couple. She signaled them to go inside and give the couple some privacy. Though her own cheeks were tinged with crimson embarrassment, and she found it difficult to suppress her smile seeing the young couple happy and in love, she maintained a stern demeanor.

In front of the lower-ranked court ladies and maids, she portrayed strength, emphasizing the importance of discipline and proper behavior while serving the royalty.

Seeing the servants and even the coachman stepping down from the carriage and leaving the couple alone, Yang Ning\'s face turned scarlet red in embarrassment. She tightened her grasp around Zheng Liang\'s neck to balance herself and tried to hide her face in the crook of his neck. In a whisper filled with extreme embarrassment, she said, "What are you doing? Put me down.

Because of you, everyone left like that." She glared at him. Enjoy exclusive content from mvl

Zheng Liang, who was enjoying teasing her and relishing her feisty look, chuckled and shook his head. "Didn\'t you ask how you would get down? I was simply helping you," he said, feigning ignorance to her words.

Yang Ning glared at him, noting the mischievous smirk on his lips. She frowned and almost pleadingly said in a low voice, "Please, put me down. Those servants have already seen us like this. I don\'t want others to come out as well and witness us in this position.

It\'s embarrassing." She knew it wouldn\'t take long for this news to spread around the whole palace, and tomorrow she would have to endure embarrassing smiles and remarks wherever she went.

She wondered how she would be able to work and face others after this day while pleading with Zheng Liang to put her down.

Zheng Liang looked at his wife, who was begging him to let her down, but he didn\'t budge. He said, "I will put you down, but only when we reach our chamber. Not a moment sooner. It\'s been days since we got a chance to have some private time of ours. Otherwise, my princess has been quite busy recently." His comment made Yang Ning feel guilty for not spending time with her husband.

She bit her lower lip and cleared her throat in embarrassment. It was true that they hadn\'t been able to spend much time together lately because she was busy handling palace affairs. Since she was new to this kind of official work, she needed to spend more time understanding her duties before working on improving them.

She looked at him and said, "I was already planning to spend time with you and even brought you a gift. See." She showed him the velvet case box in her hands and said, "Now put me down." She ordered him.

But Zheng Liang smirked and shook his head. "In that case, let\'s go to our chamber." Without waiting for Yang Ning to reply, he adjusted her position, making her rest her head on his shoulder, and carried her inside the Dragon Pavilion in the princess style.

The servants were working inside the Dragon Pavilion and noticed the royal couple entering and they were in an intimate position. Out of respect and embarrassment, they lowered their heads and made way for the royal couple as they walked towards the main chamber through the hallway.

Yang Ning, in Zheng Liang\'s arms, had to cover and hide her face. She closed her eyes, hiding her face against the crook of his neck, simply praying for this embarrassment to be over soon.

When Zheng Liang reached the main chamber, he forcefully closed the doors behind him with a kick of his strong legs, all the while still carrying Yang Ning in his arms. The maids who witnessed the closing of the main chamber doors covered their mouths in disbelief. Hushed embarrassed giggles could be heard in the hallway as the doors sealed the couple\'s privacy.

After locking the door while still carrying Yang Ning, Zheng Liang walked towards the bed and tossed her onto it, causing her body to bounce on the mattress. This time, Zheng Liang would not tolerate any more disturbances. To ensure complete privacy, he had sent Xiaowei and Gu Lan away, preventing them from disrupting their intimate moment.

Yang Ning let out a surprised gasp at his rushed and rough actions. Before she could fully comprehend what was happening, Zheng Liang climbed over the bed, hovering over her. A pair of desperate lips sealed hers, and in that electrifying moment, her mind went blank as his kisses engaged her in a pleasure that left her breathless.

Their lips met with hunger and urgency, the warmth of Zheng Liang\'s mouth enveloping hers. His hands cradled her face as the kiss deepened, each brush of his lips against hers sending shivers down her spine. The room seemed to fade away as they lost themselves in the intensity of the kiss, their connection growing stronger with every stolen breath.

The passion between them ignited, creating a moment that transcended time and space.
