You suspect my identity as an immortal from beyond the world?

"Sigh... Xiao Bing, tell me, what couple in this world doesn't sleep together? Why do we have to sleep in separate rooms..."

"I just covered her with my blanket once, and she got furious and kicked me out. If all women in this world were like that, how could we possibly live..."

"Imperial Sovereign, it's already a huge concession that Your Majesty allowed you to move into Qianqing Palace. If it were anyone else, they'd probably be preparing to reincarnate by now. You should just be happy."

Xiao Bing said this, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Although she was optimistic about the progress of their relationship, it was too fast. Her Majesty's personality wouldn't be able to accept it.

"But maybe the Imperial Sovereign will sneak over at night..."

Chu Ning glanced at Xiao Bing, his eyes lighting up.

"There's hope?"

Xiao Bing looked around and said softly, "Why not try? Her Majesty won't kill you. She's even afraid of hurting you if she attacks, otherwise, it wouldn't be Xiao Bing who kicked you out."

"You want me to test Qinglian's limits with my life? Why don't you go?"

"Xiao Bing is just a maidservant, but you are the Imperial Sovereign. Her Majesty definitely won't execute you..."

While chatting, they moved some things from the adjacent palace into Qianqing Palace.

There wasn't much, just a few clothes and books. Xiao Bing handled everything and then helped Chu Ning organize the room.

"In Qianqing Palace, if the Imperial Sovereign needs anything, you can call Xiao Bing to handle it."

"Really?"

The young girl nodded seriously. "I serve Her Majesty, and I should also serve the Imperial Sovereign. Of course, it's true."

"Then secretly carry Qinglian over tonight. If you can't do it, you won't get any food tomorrow."

"Mister always says such difficult things. If I could do it, I would have done it already."

"I can see you're on my side. Xiao Bing, work hard on your cultivation. When you surpass Qinglian one day, carry her to my bed!"

Ever since Ye Qinglian personally acknowledged Chu Ning's identity as the Imperial Sovereign in the imperial court, his actions were no longer restricted.

His wife was contemplating matters concerning the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he wouldn't interfere. Ye Qinglian could figure it out herself and even come up with a good solution.

So, Xiao Bing suggested taking Chu Ning to the Imperial Textile Bureau to look at the ceremonial robes for their upcoming Grand Wedding.

Along the way, the young girl did her best to provide Chu Ning with information.

Having served Ye Qinglian for so many years, Xiao Bing knew a lot, such as Her Majesty's habits and personality, as well as some flattering words.

"Xiao Bing, I can understand everything else, but flattery is unnecessary. Even if she's the Emperor, she's still my wife, do you understand?"

"But Her Majesty would probably prefer to hear these words, right?"

"That would be counterproductive. Doing so would make her see me as a subject, not a husband, understand?"

Xiao Bing understood and nodded seriously.

"No wonder the Imperial Sovereign and Her Majesty are progressing so quickly. So the Imperial Sovereign has his own unique method. Then Xiao Bing won't give you any more advice, but I can tell you about other things."

"Okay, Xiao Bing! I'll give you an extra meal tonight!"

They arrived outside the Imperial Textile Bureau.

It was the busiest place right now.

The silk from Jiangnan could not be used due to flood damage and had to be purchased at a high price from the neighboring Luohen Kingdom. They were working overtime every day, and there couldn't be any mistakes, or the female officials would lose their heads.

Time was tight, but quality still had to be guaranteed. They were incredibly busy.

A female official from the palace, the head of the Imperial Textile Bureau, saw them arrive. Although she didn't recognize Chu Ning, any man who could move freely within the imperial harem was undoubtedly the Imperial Sovereign.

"Your subordinate greets the Imperial Sovereign and Palace Official Ye."

Chu Ning curiously observed everything inside.

Hundreds of people were not only customizing two sets of ceremonial robes for the Grand Wedding but also other palace decorations, such as the silk quilts and bedding in the bridal chamber. All were of superior craftsmanship, predominantly in gold and bright red, exuding royal dignity and festivity.

"The Imperial Sovereign is here to oversee the ceremonial robes, right? This way..."

They entered and approached a luxurious ceremonial robe that was nearing completion. Gold threads were intricately woven into the edges with superb craftsmanship, exuding extreme luxury that even Chu Ning couldn't help but be captivated by.

"Is this set for Her Majesty?"

"Her Majesty's has already been completed. This set is for the Imperial Sovereign."

"Are they both Dragon Robes?"

"According to the dynasty's ceremonial system, if a woman becomes Empress, she wears a phoenix crown and ceremonial robes. Men cannot follow such specifications. These are also made according to the Emperor's Dragon Robe standards, with slight differences in the dragon patterns on the chest and around the edges. Her Majesty's dragon patterns are gold, while yours are dark gold, to highlight the distinction."

Chu Ning didn't find anything wrong with it. The dynasty's rules were good, and the ceremonial system was quite decent, not making anyone feel awkward. Moreover, he didn't care about the color of the dragon patterns. He was just very curious about what Ye Qinglian would look like wearing hers...

If Your Majesty doesn't take off her Dragon Robe, I like you just like this...

Is it possible? It's not impossible!

It would be great to try it on again in the future!

The group was unaware that Chu Ning's thoughts had already drifted to the heavens. They thought he was just admiring the robe.

The female official smiled and said, "Not long ago, Palace Official Ye asked me to customize clothes for the Imperial Sovereign for daily wear. However, with the Imperial Sovereign and Her Majesty's Grand Wedding approaching, it was put on hold. Since you're here now, I'd like to ask about the colors and styles you prefer."

Chu Ning snapped back to attention and asked curiously, "Are there other colors besides dark gold?"

"White, black, red, and so on. Whatever the Imperial Sovereign can imagine, it can be."

"Black, then. It's low-key. Someone as extraordinary as me should be low-key and profound."

The woman chuckled awkwardly at his words, unsure how to respond, and simply nodded in agreement.

"Once the custom orders for the Grand Wedding are finished, I'll send you style references for the Imperial Sovereign to choose from."

"Good."

Xiao Bing chimed in with a smile, "If the Imperial Sovereign truly wants to become an otherworldly expert, why not cultivate first? For the current Great Gan Dynasty, reaching the Celestial Phenomenon realm is at least considered an otherworldly expert."

"Heh, then I'm already high enough. Calling me an otherworldly expert makes no difference."

Xiao Bing smiled and said nothing. Chu Ning glanced at her.

"Oh? You don't believe me?"

"I do, I do. Mister is an otherworldly expert."

"Tch, you really don't believe me. How about this: I'll guide you through that Great Evolution Heavenly Dao Chapter I gave you earlier. Tell me, what don't you understand?"

Xiao Bing froze for a moment, remembering the cultivation manual gathering dust in her room. She felt a bit embarrassed.

Of course, she couldn't very well say she hadn't even looked at it...

"Um... this servant is dull-witted and can't understand it."

Chu Ning sighed at her words.

"Forget it. Seeing as you're trying so hard to set us up, I'll personally guide you, just in case my status as an otherworldly expert collapses in your hearts!"

"Let's go!"

Xiao Bing was stunned.

That book was just a joke, and Chu Ning was actually going to guide her?

He wasn't kidding...

But since the Imperial Sovereign said so...

Fine, she'd play along. She couldn't let the Imperial Sovereign's good intentions go to waste.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
