My Devil Emperor
Who is better?

That afternoon the sun was seen hiding behind a cloud of white clouds, hiding its rays. A woman sits quietly with a man standing in front of her.

"Well, I was wrong. I'm sorry, Sister. I shouldn't have said that in front of you."

Yuan cleared his throat slowly and raised his chin. "In the future I hope you can think first of what you are going to say. Not just me, but other people. You also look disrespectful to His Majesty."

Yanzhi let out a long sigh and nodded obediently. In this world, other than her parents, she also loved her twin sister very much. How could he hurt Yanli?

"So, why are you here?"

"After I returned from training, I heard you were married, but not to your fiancee. I also heard the whole story, from the beginning you were kidnapped and suddenly married later when mom and dad were intending to pick you up, you turned them down. I thought you were being persecuted. Although I have never dealt directly with Emperor Xuan, history records it. How can I just shut up?"

Yuan blinked his eyes and laughed softly.

"Why are you laughing?"

The girl shook her head slowly and said, "No. I was just touched by your words. You're not as bad as the first time we met."

"Don't mention it. Xiao Li, you turned into a very cruel one. I hope your memory recovers soon, see how gentle you used to be."

"alright. So the point is you're here for me?"

"If not, what else? If you knew you were perfectly fine, I wouldn't have come here" he said a little annoyed.

Yuan laughed loudly. He stood up and approached the handsome man. Still taller than her, but no taller than her husband. "It turns out like this it feels like having a brother," he murmured involuntarily.

"Xiao Li, can I hold you?"

"We are brothers, why ask permission?"

YanZhi sneered and said, "That's after you found out. Yesterday you still slapped me so hard."

Yuan grimaced to hear it. "That's you wrong. Why embrace me without saying hello? I thought you were a striped-nose guy. Even if you're pretty good-looking, it's creepy."

YanZhi no longer responded to her, the man also walked over and directly carried the petite body of his twin sister into an embrace. "Xiao Li, take care of yourself. If anything happens or your husband mistreats you, don't hesitate to let me know, I'll teach him a lesson right away. I always wish you the best. It would be best if you really become Emperor Xuan's only wife. If you can, make him bend his knees to you!" he says.

"good. I know."

After which, he let go of his embrace and again said, "Then, I'll be back."

Yuan frowned. "So fast. Why not stay here in a few days?"

"I have other duties. For your sake alone I'll have to put that thing on hold."

"Then, be careful. Oh right, you've already said goodbye to Emperor Xuan?"

YanZhi shook his head and said, "I'll just meet him after this."

"Come on! I'm with."

The two brothers also walked out of Empress Xuan's residence towards the imperial reading room.

"The Empress has seen His Majesty Emperor Xuan," Yuan said in greeting as they were already before Zi Xuan.

Zi Xuan lifted his face looking at the two brothers. His eyebrows were raised, confused.

Yuan who understood instantly explained their arrival there.

"Sorry for interrupting your time, Your Majesty. My brother will return to the Zhou kingdom today." Yuan glanced at the man standing beside him.

YanZhi lowered his head and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor. The arrival of the servant here wants to say goodbye."

"I've heard it. You can go."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Yuan scratched his un-itchy neck. "Just so?" he said more to himself.

"Is something wrong?"

"You guys, just like that?"

Zi Xuan raised his brows. "So how should it be?"

"In depth?" yuan said innocently.

The two men looked at each other and looked at Yuan strangely.

Before long, ZiXuan stood up and walked up to the two people.

"Give my regards to my father and mother-in-law. May your journey be safe" ZiXuan said as he extended his hand.

YanZhi smiled and returned the helping hand. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll tell you."

Looking at the two men in turn, Yuan nodded in satisfaction. But a second later he suddenly fell silent and thought of something.

"Brother, let me take care of you," he said after ZiXuan and YanZhi let go of their hands.

YanZhi. "No need to drive. I'm leaving."

Yuan held his hand. "We haven't seen each other in a long time, have we? Don't reject me. Let me drive you," he said quickly.

"Sir, you stay here. Crown Prince YanZhi, you can leave. Sorry we couldn't deliver," ZiXuan cut.

YanZhi looked doubtful, but he did not see anything wrong from his sister-in-law's face.

"Don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt your sister. I have a little business with him," explained ZiXuan who understood.

Yuan looked at his twin brother sharply. I hope he doesn't leave it here. But it seems that YanZhi is not sensitive enough. The man looked down and walked out of there.

"Brother, I'll keep you company." Yuan was about to catch up with YanZhi, but a hand pulled him back.

"Want to run? Empress, I asked you to come to my room yesterday. Why not come? Starting to disobey me?"

Yuan turned to look at the handsome man and laughed softly. "none. Not brave. That—yesterday I was so tired. Didn't have time to tell His Majesty," he said reasoned.

"Oh? I thought you were scared."

"I'm not afraid. Why should I be afraid? Brother Xuan is very kind to me," he argued quickly.

"Tomorrow, get up early or you can sleep with me tonight."

Yuan shook his head quickly. "I'll wake up in the morning! No need to sleep here. But what's with tomorrow?"

"We're going hunting."

"Is this Princess Liang's request again?"

"No. This show has been around for a long time. We'll go hunting every year, but by chance Princess Liang is here, so she'll be coming too."

"I'm not leaving!" push Yuan hard.

"Could only. But—" ZiXuan deliberately hung up his sentence. Without a cue, he pulled on Yuan's slender waist, removing the distance between the two. "Depends if you can serve me well?" continues whispering.

Yuan's body jerked. He had already tried to push the man, but the result was nil.

Yuan bit his lips as he felt something moist and warm touch his ears. "I'm—I'll go," he said slowly.

ZiXuan laughed softly. He pulled himself up and said, "Good girl. Be obedient."

"What else can I do but obey?"

***

The next day, several maids, at the behest of the butler, brought the necessary items for Yuan, including the clothes to be used.

Yuan wore a combination black red shirt that made her look graceful and mature. The shirt fits perfectly in the curves of her beautiful body.

"Emer, you look like a holy goddess" said Jingli.

"I just realized it too. Never mind, let's get out now."

The crowd outside the palace immediately greeted Yuan. The escorting soldiers and some of the guests in the hunting event had already gathered there.

Yuan walked over to ZiXuan who spoke four eyes with Li Wei. Little he has arrested from the talks is about security during the event.

"Your Majesty," called Yuan quietly but it still sounded to the ears of the two men.

"Ah, you have arrived. Li Wei, we can leave now."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Li Wei directly left from there after previously bowing politely to Yuan.

"Alright," Zi Xuan said as he pointed at the horse carriage behind.

"What about you?"

"I'm riding a horse."

"Can't Your Majesty be with me?"

"Aah?"

"Can't you give me face this time? Brother, aren't we comrades in arms? My ears are so hot to hear the gossip in the palace about myself, today can you give me a little face?" yuan said a little annoyed.

Zi Xuan lowered his head in restraining his laughter. "It turns out the Empress also cares what people say."

Yuan rolled his eyes lazily. "I don't want to respond to it but I can't be humiliated in such a way."

"All right, I'm with you."

Yuan smiled complacently and reflexively hugged ZiXuan's arms tightly. Of course it got the attention of some bodyguards and servants who happened to pass by.

ZiXuan smiled faintly and let the girl cling to him.

"Emer, come in." Yunniang's words made Yuan aware. He quickly took off his embrace and threw his face the other way. But ZiXuan had a chance to see it. That pretty face is blushing.

There was only silence between Yuan and Zi Xuan. Both are in each other's minds.

"Brother, between me and Princess Rong, who better?"
