At the victory banquet, Jiang Ling repeatedly felt the emperor's deep, searching gaze.
She was so worried she couldn't sleep at night, but her wife told her she was overthinking it. How could His Majesty, so noble and righteous, overstep his bounds and look at a minister's wife?
Until the emperor caught Jiang Ling by the ankle beneath her skirt among the rockeries and covered her mouth.

After successfully persuading Qing to form an alliance, Zhang Qingyun returned to the capital. Zhou Xiangyi was delighted and asked what reward she wanted.
Zhang Qingyun lowered her head with a smile and said that all she wanted was to spend more time with her wife now that she was home.
Zhou Xiangyi had heard of her wife. She seemed to be a delicate beauty who needed someone by her side at all times.
When a minister made a request, the emperor would naturally not refuse.
During the autumn hunt, Zhou Xiangyi shot a white horse, frightening a woman until she burst into tears.
The woman covered her face as she cried. When she raised her head, Zhou Xiangyi saw a tiny red mole at the corner of her eye. She looked so tender and affectionate.
Yet at the victory banquet, the woman and Zhang Qingyun acted reserved, but no amount of restraint could hide their intimacy.
Zhou Xiangyi sat in the place of honor, her gaze indifferent.
What a pity that she was the wife of one of her most trusted aides.
