Chapter 136: Chapter 97: Empress and Empress Collide! Touched the Wrong Person! (6K)
Chen Mo’s gaze pierced through the palace gown, observing the stunningly delicate body in front of him.
Comparatively, while Consort Yu’s figure was symmetrical and slender, the Empress appeared even more plump and supple, with a narrow waist and broad hips, her thighs full yet perfectly proportioned, the flesh accumulating exactly where it should.
It seemed like a heavy branch-bending peach, merely looking at it felt freshly tender and juicy.
"Fishnet stockings really are best suited on a mature woman!"
The fair and beautiful flesh slightly spilled out between the black grids, and under the effect of the Golden Eyes of Truth, it seemed so close at hand, the intense visual impact caused him to lose focus momentarily.
At that moment, a faint voice sounded:
"Hundred Households Chen, can you let go of me now?"
?!
Chen Mo suddenly came back to his senses.
Only then did he realize that his hand was still resting on the round protrusion...
He quickly released his hand, bowing deeply, "Your Highness, please forgive me, it was an urgent mistake, I did not mean to offend!"
"Not intentional?"
The Empress’ phoenix eyes slightly squinted, a cold light flashed through them.
It was actually her losing her balance earlier, and Chen Mo reached out to help, which was acceptable, but... that hand clearly took a firm grab on her buttocks!
As the Holy Empress, who commands awe in the court with even civil and military officials fearing to breathe in her presence, how dare someone be so presumptuous and take liberties with her?
She wished she could immediately call the palace guards to chop this audacious little thief into pieces!
However, remembering the aura from just now... The Empress took a deep breath, reluctantly suppressing her anger, and said lightly:
"Hundred Households Chen meant well, let it not trouble you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
He swore by the Empress’ Exquisite Feet, it really was a slip of the hand...
Taking liberties with the Holy Empress, a grave disrespect, even ten heads would not be enough to atone!
Fortunately, it seemed the Empress had no intentions of pursuing the matter.
"His~"
The moment the Empress’ plump buttocks touched the Phoenix Throne, her body suddenly stiffened.
Probably because Chen Mo had grabbed too forcefully, the tingling sensation lingered for a long time... A faint blush swept imperceptibly across her cheeks, a mix of embarrassment and anger in her eyes.
"Calm down, now is not the time to dwell on such matters."
"On Chen Mo, there is a similar oppressive aura to that of Li’er..."
The Empress was certain, it was not an illusion.
The Princess managed to endure the added responsibilities of the nation only with the help of the Heavenly Decree Seal, but what was going on with Chen Mo?
Considering everything that had happened before...
Initially just an inconspicuous rich young master, suddenly rising to fame, not only did his cultivation spike, but he also continuously achieved remarkable feats, his fortune terrifyingly strong, almost fitting to be called "Chosen Son of Heaven"!
Could it be...
The future of Great Yuan, truly rests on him?
Viewed thus, compared to the fate of the nation, having her buttocks pinched seems trivial...
The atmosphere in the great hall was quiet.
The Empress said nothing, and Chen Mo didn’t dare make a sound, standing with his head bowed.
"Hundred Households Chen..."
"I am here!"
...
Seeing his appearance like a frightened bird, the Empress was both annoyed and amused, this little thief, where was the audacity from just now?
"Do you know why I summoned you to the palace?"
Anyway, it definitely isn’t about grabbing your buttocks... Chen Mo thought secretly, bowing, "I dare not presume, I await Your Highness’ instruction."
The Empress sat upright on the Phoenix Throne, her tone clear and brisk, "In the Zhou Family case, you played a great role, originally you should have naturally assumed the position of Hundred Household Officer in the Gui Water Bureau, but I arranged for you to serve in the Ding Fire Department instead, are you dissatisfied?"
What a question, even if I am dissatisfied, I dare not say it!
Chen Mo earnestly responded: "Thunder and rainfall are both graces from the sovereign, I owe my position today to the nurturing of the Holy Empress, my heart is only filled with gratitude for Her boundless grace, how can there be any dissatisfaction?"
?
"Thunder and rainfall are both graces from the sovereign..."
Hearing this, the Empress paused slightly, then shook her head, "At such a young age, yet slicker than those old ministers."
Chen Mo took it not as a shame, but as a compliment, "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness."
...
The Empress’s gaze sharpened, and her tone suddenly changed, "Since it’s like this, why then are you neglectful and lazy at work? Indolence and complacency, your cases piling up like mountains, yet you spend your days enjoying tranquility in the government office!"
"Do you intend to rest on your laurels and neglect your duties?"
"Knowing that the imperial review is imminent, yet still daring to be so careless, do you really think I will not dismiss you from your post?!"
Such questioning was thunderously shocking!
This time, the Empress called Chen Mo to the palace with a simple purpose: to properly admonish him!
Even a genius, if not seeking advancement, will fade into obscurity.
A sword needs grinding to cut through iron like mud, jade must be carved to shine brilliantly!
With Chen Mo’s capabilities, as long as he is well-cultivated, he can surely become a pillar of Great Yuan, and he absolutely must not be allowed to stray!
Watching Chen Mo’s somewhat confused expression, the corners of the Empress’s mouth involuntarily curled up.
Good, that was the feeling.
First, let him feel the authority of the Empress, then generously absolve him from blame; he would surely be immensely grateful and devoutly loyal to the Empress...
Firmness and kindness, the true way to govern!
"Your Highness, what do you mean by that? I have already completed my cases." Chen Mo said innocently.
?
"Completed?"
The Empress’s eyebrows knitted together, her voice grew colder, "Do you know that misleading the Sovereign by speaking falsehoods in front of me is a crime of deceiving and disrespecting superiors?"
Chen Mo shook his head, "I would never dare speak falsehoods. Mr. Deng just reviewed them, it’s all recorded in the documents, Your Highness would know after checking."
Seeing his confidence, the Empress couldn’t help but hesitate.
Eunuch Jin had just brought back the documents, she hadn’t had a chance to review them... Could Chen Mo really have met the standard?
The Empress picked up the file from the Imperial Desk, leafed through it, and her expression stiffened, her phoenix eyes filled with astonishment.
The accounts and affairs were all in good order, without any flaws.
