After Erwel left, Kei approached the bathtub.
Rishi was relieved to see that there was a cover on the bathtub.
“It seems like Erwel did something amazing.”
“Yeah, he did. It was incredible.”
“What did he do?”
“It’s a secret.”
“Even to me?”
“To you too.”
“That’s too much. I can do a lot of amazing things for you too.”
“Not as much as Erwel. Erwel is a really good person. Thank you for bringing someone like Erwel as a maid, Kei.”
“Hmm.”
Kei sat down at the end of the bathtub, narrowing his eyes.
“Do you like Erwel more than me?”
“Jealous again, Kei?”
“I told you. I’m often jealous.”
Rishi scooped up some water and splashed Kei’s face.
“Don’t be weirdly jealous. Erwel is a woman, you know.”
“Not an ordinary woman. Erwel is an extraordinary woman.”
“Extraordinary?”
“Oh, yes.”
Kei chuckled and pointed to the salad on the bathtub cover.
“Aren’t you eating?”
“It’s okay.”
“I heard you’ve been skipping meals lately. A sandwich won’t fill you up.”
“A sandwich?”
Pretending not to know, Rishi chuckled.
“Wolves have a good sense of smell.”
“Wolves have many good qualities.”
“I’m not trying to find out what you ate. It’s more important not to let my wife go hungry. No one can make my wife hungry.”
“But Krizina made her hungry.”
“Should I scold her?”
“Can you win?”
“Well. Krizina is also an extraordinary woman….”
I couldn’t understand what it meant to be extraordinary. She just said that Krizina’s way of talking was better than Kei’s.
“I heard you only eat grass, so I prepared something. Things you can eat in the bathtub.”
“It’s okay. A sandwich is enough. Tomorrow is real, and I want to digest the dress well.”
“Oh, Rishi. Don’t you know yet?”
Kei opened his eyes wide.
It was an expression that was so surprising that the sky would fall.
Did I miss something?
“Huh? What?”
“Even if you wear rags, you’ll be the most beautiful tomorrow.”
“Ha….”
What should I do with that nonsense?
As Rishi sighed in surprise, Kei laughed.
“Why, don’t you know? How pretty you are.”
“I know. But I won’t be the most beautiful even if I wear rags.”
“Then you’re wrong. Even if you’re completely naked, you’re the most beautiful in the world. Honestly…….”
Kei’s voice became discreetly lower.
Despite being fooled several times, Rishi was fooled again. Wondering if something else would come out, she leaned her ear with a serious expression.
“It’s awkward. If you say that sincerely with your clothes off, I feel like I should give you a kiss or something….”
While Kei was babbling, Rishi was already concentrating on eating the sandwich.
Kei got up and left the bathroom, then came back pushing a trolley.
“Eat to your heart’s content. Even if you gain twice as much weight as now, you’ll still be the most beautiful in the world.”
What a nonsensical thing to say.
Rishi shook her head, but Kei lifted a delicious-looking canapé from the trolley and brought it to Rishi’s lips.
Rishi almost lost herself.
With slightly parted lips, she attempted to embrace the canapé, which was undoubtedly delicious. The moment her lips touched the crispy cracker, Rishi came to her senses.
Once she starts eating, she surely won’t be able to stop.
“No, Kei.”
Rishi pushed the canapé away with the back of her hand.
“Hmm. It’s so delicious like this.”
Kei took a bite of the canapé and chewed with relish.
He looks like a greedy man.
“This is also delicious, Rishi. Just try a bite.”
Kei thinly sliced a slightly cooked piece of beef and brought it to Rishi’s lips with his fingers.
Rishi shook her head again, and the meat entered Kei’s mouth.
Munch[Dash]!
Kei chewed with an expression that there was no food tastier in the world.
“Wow, it’s delicious. Do you know? Our mansion’s chef is a renowned chef on the continent. He’s been invited to cook for the royal party before.”
“……. ”
“Oh, how about this? Seafood doesn’t make you gain weight.”
Kei placed a dish with cheese on top of the shellfish in front of Rishi.
“Cheese makes you gain weight. If you eat salty things, your face will swell.”
“If your face swells, it will be round and very pretty.”
“Your aesthetic sense is a bit strange.”
“Wow, this is really delicious. The taste of the savory cracker and the subtle flavor of the cheese blend perfectly, creating a taste that touches the tongue….”
Slurp[Dash]!
Unable to resist, Rishi splashed water all over Kei’s face.
“You look like a nasty guy.”
Kei laughed and pushed the trolley into the corner.
“Understand, Rishi. I don’t want to see my wife faint from hunger.”
“I won’t faint from hunger at this level.”
Rishi had gone hungry for more days than this.
“It’s more of a problem with my feet than hunger. I haven’t endured high heels much.”
She just hoped that Kei would show interest in her hunger and brought up a different topic.
Little did Rishi know that Kei would immediately lift the bathtub cover and examine her feet.
With a serious look, Kei inspected Rishi’s feet submerged in the water.
Her bare feet, calves, and thighs were awkwardly exposed before him.
“It’s okay; cover it up.”
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…
