Selected as the New Stepmother (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 80
After finishing the festival sightseeing.
The thrilling night brought on by the dart bet had arrived. Rublion went to bed first, retreating to his room, and I headed to the dining room guided by the maid.
“Welcome, Madam.”
We were both in comfortable pajamas with just an outer robe draped over. Ascal, with his bangs down and wearing thin-rimmed glasses, was exuding the gentle vibe that I loved.
On the table were mood-setting candlesticks and lamb prepared as appetizers. Our seats were at the head and the adjacent seat at a right angle.
“What kind of alcohol do you like?”
“I don’t particularly picky, but wine would suit the current menu.”
Ascal raised his hand and ordered the servant to bring wine. Not long after, he returned with a considerable amount of wine bottles.
The atmosphere was awkward yet fluffy. I wasn’t originally the type to sweetly express affection, so the drinking session together was nice but also embarrassing.
I tried to lighten the mood with small talk first. Evidence of planning treason at Duke Loomps’s mansion had come to light, and the one who contributed the most to this matter was Duke Terrabita. I recalled Lanson smiling at me like a bear.
After that, work talk continued a bit more. As the alcohol kicked in, my mood started to lift rapidly.
“Madam, I have one suggestion I’d like to make.”
He naturally changed the topic. I cut a piece of lamb, put it in my mouth, and listened attentively.
“How about entrusting the Artenbach Art Museum to you?”
He was telling me to run an art institution renowned even in the empire.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
