Just as she stretched out her hand, she paused mid-motion, thought for a moment, then lay back down, her face calming, casually flipping through a book, and replied, \"Let him in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. General Chen Hong, please enter.\" Cai'Er said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing'Er glanced at Chen Mo but ultimately did not search him, allowing him to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tidying his attire slightly, Chen Mo stepped into the Empress Dowager's bedchamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the inner hall, a faint fragrance wafted over, prompting Chen Mo to inhale deeply several times, then he saw the beautiful woman in a red dress lying on the soft couch reading a book, her skirt spread like a peacock's tail, indescribably alluring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo was slightly stunned; today's attire of Xiao Yunxi had indeed struck him with amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Cai'Er nearby, Chen Mo respectfully bowed: \"Greetings, Empress Dowager.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yunxi deliberately assumed a calm and casual posture so he wouldn't think she was overly eager, then put down the book, glanced at Chen Mo, instantly feeling slightly weak, closing her legs together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo wore a snow-white straight-collared robe, the fabric draping perfectly, his waist cinched with a broad moon-white belt embroidered with cloud patterns, from which hung only a finely-crafted black jade, rugged in shape yet modestly elegant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His black hair was casually tied with a silver thread, absent of a crown or hairpin, with a few wisps hanging at the corner of his eyes, carrying a hint of roguish charm, smiling at the Empress Dowager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering the palace, Chen Mo intentionally dressed up, and with his naturally handsome looks, the embellishment elevated his appearance several notches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, outside the hall, he made both Cai'Er and Xiao Qing'Er gaze at him in a daze, with the former following him absent-mindedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing her wandering thoughts, Xiao Yunxi composedly sat up, tugging her skirt a bit lower: \"…Chen Hong, you're here? Sit down, Cai'Er, you may leave, without my permission, no one is to enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Cai'Er bowed and exited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Cai'Er had retreated, Chen Mo, who was kneeling beside, immediately stood and went over to sit beside Xiao Yunxi on the soft couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This startled Xiao Yunxi: \"You... what are you doing? Qing'Er and the others are outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo chuckled, you yourself said no one is allowed to enter without your permission, isn't this a hint?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said nothing, looking at Xiao Yunxi's full, bright red lips with a hint of lipstick, her fair and slender neck... exquisite like a full moon, unable to restrain himself, he leaned down to kiss her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yunxi dodged, holding Chen Mo's forehead with her hand: \"I have something serious to discuss, don't... don't always be so handsy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her face flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo was taken aback; he thought Xiao Yunxi had specifically summoned him to the palace for that reason, but unexpectedly, there was indeed business to discuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her words did not deter him; he reached for her ankle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Xiao Yunxi was wearing black silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this really about business?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Chen Mo again attempted to kiss her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yunxi blushed deeply, saying don't look while stopping Chen Mo from taking advantage, teased: \"Listen to me first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Yunxi struggling, he reluctantly stopped but rested her black silk-clad leg on his own, gently stroking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you keep your hands to yourself and let me speak?\" Xiao Yunxi restrained her fluttering heart, speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You speak your piece, I'll do my thing,\" Chen Mo said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Xiao Yunxi bit her lower lip, helpless against Chen Mo, yet she could not muster any anger towards him, saying: \"Do you still remember what I told you a few days ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember, what about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I found out, there's another legitimate daughter of the Wu Family named Wu Xin'Er, the youngest granddaughter of the previous Wu family head, only sixteen but already a Fifth Grade Martial Artist, talented and excelling, and with you…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo was stunned, not expecting Xiao Yunxi to truly help match him with a legitimate daughter of a prestigious family, now even having someone in mind, he laughed: \"Aunt, do you really wish to push your man away like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunxi froze for a moment, but quickly reacted, Yi Yao called her aunt, so why wouldn't Chen Mo do the same, feeling both ashamed and angry, she tapped Chen Mo's chest: \"You… what nonsense are you spouting, seeking a beating, you are not... allowed to call me... Aunt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not, didn't you let Yaoyao call you aunt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She can, you can't. Anyway, you just can't...\" Xiao Yunxi stammered in embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo laughed heartily but quickly lowered his volume fearing Xiao Qing'Er outside the hall might hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped teasing her, pinched Xiao Yunxi's delicate nose, then embraced her in his arms, the two of them collapsing onto the soft couch, entwined together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yunxi, I know you're doing this for me, but...\" Chen Mo spoke at length, the gist being he appreciated her intentions but regarding Wu Xin'Er, it was better to let it be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly speaking, although Xiao Yunxi touted Wu Xin'Er's beauty, Chen Mo was uninterested; he already had enough on his plate, and involvement with the Wu family would only attract more attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as a legitimate daughter of the Wu family, if married, she would undoubtedly be the main wife, which would definitely hurt Zhao Fujin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Mo unmoved, Xiao Yunxi was a bit surprised, saying: \"Really not tempted? She's more attractive than Yaoyao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo shook his head, gave Xiao Yunxi a kiss, and said: \"No one could be more beautiful than you, Yunxi...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yunxi's eyes curved in joy, teasing: \"Smooth talker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she too embraced Chen Mo, sighing: \"It's such a pity. Originally, I hoped Fujin would marry Wu Chang'an, and you would marry Wu Xin'Er, making ties even closer among us, but since you don't want to, just let it go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Hearing this, Chen Mo was shocked, thankful he didn't agree, else what would this make him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offer his Senior Sister to marry Wu Xin'Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it wasn't his wish, he couldn't bring himself to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wasn't the matter between Senior Sister and Wu Chang'an already voided?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1208,"2026-06-06T05:54:36.386Z",1,"novelbin.me","98e0b2db858b02c1ed081806985c686d9e9c0f55466f2304a2d92d6325614813","cultivation-simulator-starting-from-the-empress--chapter-329","cultivation-simulator-starting-from-the-empress--chapter-327",571,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-simulator-starting-from-the-empress--cover.jpg"]
