The Emperor Once Again Fails to Spend the Night in the Great General's Chambers

A seemingly innocent but secretly calculating crown prince pursues a rakish general.

After court, the emperor lounged listlessly against a couch, holding a lychee in his hand. Its milky-white flesh gleamed at his fingertips.

The emperor looked up at his daily record keeper. “Are you there? Let’s see the daily records.”

With a deeply furrowed brow, the record keeper presented the book.

The first page read: His Majesty spent the night in the great general’s quarters, but failed to get what he wanted. The emperor’s smile gradually faded.

He turned to the second page, and his expression chilled completely. He was about to slam the table and fly into a rage when a eunuch announced from outside that the great general had arrived.

Jiang Qiyun entered the hall, and before he could even take off his cloak, someone pulled him into an embrace. The emperor shoved the daily record into his arms, then pinched him with a lingering, bewitching touch and drew out his words. “My dignity is in tatters, and it’s all Brother Huaizhi’s fault.”
