My Devil Emperor
Streets

Sunlight enters through the windows. The sound of bird singing and activity from outside the room made a beautiful girl who was still asleep frown involuntarily. He was about to pull his blanket back to sleep, but the sound of knocking on the door made him reluctantly open his eyes.

"Sir, it's me."

"Sister Jingli?" muttered Yuan involuntarily. He lowered his legs, walked slowly and opened the door.

The person at the door smiled. "The Empress, the Emperor invites you to take a walk outside the palace," Jingli said.

Yuan who still looked lazy immediately straightened his body. He looked at Jingli with sparkling eyes. "Walk out of the palace?" tanyanya.

Jingli smiled and nodded, then said, "Also, the Emperor advised the Empress to wear an inconspicuous suit."

"All right, I get it. It's like when we go to the market first, isn't it?"

"Yes, Empress."

"All right, I'll be there in a minute!" Yuan excitedly went back into his room and looked for clothes suitable for dulia to wear.

On the other hand, ZiXuan was already waiting in front of the main gate accompanied by General Li Wei. Every now and then they were seen talking about something seriously, then came to a standstill as the young emperor saw Yuan and Jingli walking towards him.

Zi Xuan stared at Yuan's appearance from top to bottom. Her appearance looks very simple but does not even reduce her beauty.

"Come closer," ZiXuan said still staring at Yuan. The girl walked over to him.

"Don't take it off" she said, wearing a black veil covering part of Yuan's pretty face.

"I understand. Brother take it easy, I won't take it off."

"Your Majesty."

Yuan turned his body back and saw Princess Rong with her personal servant as well as Ying'er standing there. The girl looked at ZiXuan asking for an explanation.

"Princess Rong and Miss Ying will come with us," ZiXuan said who understood Yuan's gaze.

"Why is he here? Are you done with the punishment I gave you?" tanya Yuan stared dislikefully at the two-faced girl beside Liang Rong.

Qiu Ying flicked her lips and said, "Sister-in-law seems to dislike me very much. I'm done with the punishment. Sister-in-law can check it out!"

"You're done? So fast!" yuan sansi.

"I—"

"That's it. Your Majesty, it seems that I cannot come. You guys just go," Yuan said reasoned. He was about to turn away, but a warm hand grabbed him.

"How can I go without my wife?"

Liang Rong smiled wryly and said, "Empress, please come with us.

Yuan took a slow breath and nodded.

ZiXuan along with Yuan walked at the very front while Princess Rong, Ying'er, An Hui, Xiao Tao - the personal servants of Princess Rong and Ying'er -, Jingli and Li Wei were at the very back.

"Sister Rong, isn't Empress Xuan very annoying?" Qiu Ying whispered to Liang Rong.

"How dare you say such a thing about Empress Xuan?" tanyanya was a bit surprised.

"I'm just telling you the truth. And to be honest with me, Brother Rong deserves to be Empress Xuan."

"Oh, really?"

Qiu Ying nodded in spirit. "Have I ever lied to you, brother?"

"Aiyoo~ Qiu Yingku is getting smarter to make someone happy."

"Miss, why do you look unhappy?" ask her in a soft voice so that only the girl next to her can hear.

Jingli glanced sharply at the man next to him and snorted in annoyance. "How can't it? I thought our empress would spend some time alone with the emperor. Didn't expect the emperor to also take the two women! Don't you see the sadness on Empress Xuan's face? If he's unhappy, I won't be happy either!"

Li Wei grimaced softly. "That seems to me not to see the look of sadness on Her Majesty's face, there is only dissatisfaction. Miss misunderstood anyway. It was actually not His Imperial Majesty who had invited Princess Liang and Miss Ying'er, but it was Princess Liang who asked His Majesty to accompany him for a walk in the people's market. Her Majesty had already refused and told me to escort her alone, but Princess Liang felt unsure of me. He also carried his father's name as an excuse for His Majesty to accompany him. You knew? Liang Kingdom is quite meritorious for the peace that occurred in the southern region, also the King of Liang and His Majesty had fought together on the battlefield. King Liang greatly admired the bravery and intelligence of His Majesty and His Majesty himself was very grateful for his contribution to the empire, which is why His Majesty could no longer refuse Princess Liang's request. So he told Princess Liang, he would accompany only if Empress Xuan participated," he explained in detail.

"really? You're not making up stories just to fix your master's name, are you?"

Li Wei laughed softly while shaking his head. "No. No. gabe. I'm telling the truth. Miss Jingli, you're an attractive girl."

Jingli threw out his blushing face. Where is there a man who says such a thing in front of his person directly?

"I suspect all the men in the Capital are female master seduvers!"

"Emer, look at this! If you wear it, it looks so pretty!" The voice sounded excited among the crowd of the market.

"Sister Jingli, if you like her, you can have her."

Jingli shook his head quickly and said, "No. Not brave. This—ini is too expensive."

"Sir, how much does this hairpin cost?" This time, a heavier voice interrupted the two.

"General Li—"

"Miss Jingli, take it. Counting as a sign of our introduction," Li Wei interrupted with a friendly smile.

"It's not necessary."

"Sister, you can't refuse someone's gift of introduction. Just accept!" persuade Yuan while holding back his laughter.

"Then, thank you, Mr. Li."

"Your Majesty, can you pick one for me?" The soft voice made the smile on Yuan's face fade away. He looked at the girl next to ZiXuan with raised eyebrows.

Gaining such a gaze, Liang Rong smiled awkwardly. "That, the Empress don't misunderstand me. I don't have any good taste, but I like His Majesty's taste. I—it's not without reason. A few years ago, when His Majesty was visiting my kingdom, His Majesty once gave me the bracelet he bought while passing through the market in the first place. The color combination is beautiful. So I think His Majesty has good taste."

"Well! Brother Xuan once gave Brother Rong a bracelet? can I see the bracelet, brother?" qiu Ying asked.

"Mr Princess seems to have misunderstood. Sorry, but it's not mine. Nor is it my choice. It belongs to Brother Li who will actually be given to his cousin's sister, but you're too excited to think it's mine. Yes, I just give it to you because you asked for it in front of your father" ZiXuan explained.

Hearing that truth, Yuan and Jingli held back a nearly bursting laughter.

While Li Wei who remembered him back showed a grim face. Of course he remembers. Because the incident almost made him beaten all out by his cousin's sister. The bracelet was the care of his cousin's sister. It was fortunate that ZiXuan was a rich man. He replaced it with a more expensive one.

Yuan chuckled softly and said, "Definitely because back then, Princess Liang was young, so his thoughts were very innocent. Who never misunderstood me when I was a child? My sister did it too." He took a slow breath and continued, "But to taste, Brother Xuan does have good taste." His eyes looked meaningfully at the man beside him.

Liang Rong clenched his hands. He's like a clown now. "Ah, Your Majesty, it seems like the food in the tavern is very good! The smell was smelled all the way here. How about we fill up the stomach first?"

"You eat first, Sister Jingli let's take a look around first!" Without waiting for approval, Yuan pulled Jingli's hand and took him away.

"Brother Li, accompany Princess Liang and Miss Ying to a meal, I will follow after bringing Xiao Li back."

"But Your Majesty—"

"Why? You're worried that Li Wei won't be able to take care of you? He is my confidant, his martial arts are not much different from mine. Princess Liang, I hope you don't develop any feelings for me."
