While the Emperor was conversing with Joan, Little Fox was spoiled with her mother. Joan grew increasingly agitated as she did not understand the direction of the Emperor's conversation. Finally he dared himself to ask the Emperor.
"Sorry sir, let me ask you".
The Emperor at the beginning of his welcome asked Joan not to call him Emperor but like Ouyang's concubine, the Emperor instead asked Joan to call him uncle but Joan did not dare to call him by that very close title, he still called the lord to the Emperor.
"Please Joan".
"Ehm, look, sir, what about Andi uh the third prince, has he been released from prison".
"Oh third prince, don't worry, I didn't forget but let that stubborn boy stay there longer".
The Emperor said he was teasing Joan, and Andi was actually released. She was already there, only she waited to see if Joan would miss meeting her.
Andi stood behind the curtain behind to her two parents.The curtain was thick enough that Joan could not see it.
"But sir ....".
Joan's words stopped because the curtain was open, Andi stepped out from behind the curtain, she met Joan who was stunned because she did not suspect that Andi was behind the curtain.
"Young lady how are you".
"Ehm well, how are you?'
"I'm fine, thanks for your attention to me ".
"Who's watching you".
Joan said with a shy smile.
They then sat side by side, both of them did not have dating experience so they just sat quietly.
The emperor and concubine Ouyang saw that and understandingly they quietly left the place while carrying away Little Fox.
"Young lady, I miss you".
"Huss, please don't call me young lady, just call your servant Joan, honorable third prince ".
"Joan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to trick you, I was just scared...."
"Fear what".
Joan teases Andi ...
"Of course not, I'm just afraid you won't accept me if you know I'm a prince and I don't want to put any distance between us".
"I understand, I don't care who you are. I ....".
"Why with you....".
Nervous of the nervousness, Andi cuts off Joan's words".
"I love you Andi but I can't seem to marry you?".
"Why Joan?, I also love you with all my heart. Why can't you marry you?"
Andi didn't understand why Joan said that. From childhood to adulthood, she was never close to a woman except her mother and sister.
She suffers from a curse from since she was born that makes it difficult to accept the presence of women in her life, it also makes her unable to accept stimulation even from the most beautiful and voluptuous women.
The failure in the treatment done by his mother secretly without the knowledge of his father or anyone else in the palace except the shadow guards who are also his close friends because his shadow guards have been with him since they were children, it makes her cold to women.
The presence of Joan in his life and their togetherness during the village of Genteng, may also be a result of the porridge and mystical water that he always ate and drank while in the village of Genteng, slowly recovering her body even while with Joan, she could feel that not only could she accept Joan's presence but also she knew that her manhood was also starting to rise on its own.
She thought she could no longer part with Joan but why did Joan say that she could not marry her, what was the real reason she said that. Andi was really confused.
"Why Joan?"
Andi confronts Joan and holds her two hands.
Joan just looked at him, her eyes glazed over.
Andi grew increasingly upset, her hand clutching Joan's hand.
"Eng, sick".
"Oh I'm sorry".
"But why?".
Joan looked back at her and while holding her laugh, Joan said;
"Because the Emperor has issued a decree for me".
"See what Joan is, I'll ask the Emperor to cancel".
"Of course, why not!".
Andi said firmly, he was more willing to renounce his title as the third prince than to lose Joan.
"Ha ha ha".
Joan could not help her laughter.
"Why are you laughing".
"I may not be able to marry you Andi because the Emperor has already issued an edict to grant me a marriage with one of the princes".
"I'm kan....."
Only then did Andi realize that Joan was teasing him. Andi was the name Joan gave him, the Emperor had no prince named Andi, of course the Emperor would not marry Andi to Joan but the prince Yu Han Ney who might marry her.
Andi spontaneously held Joan's shoulder and kissed her. Joan was excited, at first she tried to push Andi's chest but then she slowly began to enjoy the kiss until it made her barely breathe so her face turned red.
"Hmphh....".
Joan tried to breathe.
Andi who heard that immediately released her mouth from Joan.
Joan beat Andi's chest with a sullen face.
His first kiss was stolen by Andi. Happy, of course, because he did it with the people he loved.
Andi felt the sweetness of Joan's lips, feeling hooked but when she wanted to do it again. Joan immediately pushed him away as she saw the Emperor and concubine Ouyang were entering the pavilion room.
Seeing Joan's reddened face, the Emperor and concubine Ouyang smiled.
Joan was embarrassed...
"Master, aunt".
Joan paid respect to the two old men.
"Come on Joan, you call my concubine aunty, why call me master. Call me uncle too".
Said the Emperor casually looking no longer at his authority as an Emperor but more like an old man in general.
Joan's views turned more respectful to the Emperor, at first Joan was angry with the Emperor because she thought the Emperor was unwise, listened to the incitement of the first prince and imprisoned Andi.
Joan recalled what Mo Yi said that what looked was not necessarily what happened.
"Hem".
The emperor cleared his throat to see Joan who was silent.
"Oh sorry that.. uh Uncle".
"Ha, ha, ha, ha"
The emperor was pleased that Joan wanted to call him uncle. He no longer felt jealous of his concubine. Sometimes it is people if they are old it is often like children again.
The emperor invited them to sit down, Joan and Andi waited for his father and mother to sit down and they both sat together before them.
"Hows it? I heard from Little Fox that Joan refused the gift I gave her".
The Emperor said to Joan.
"No uncle, I mean Emperor. Em uncle".
Joan was wrong.
"I do want uncle to reconsider giving me the title of Grand Princess because I want to be an ordinary citizen, I don't want to get the spotlight and forgive, frankly, I have no intention of staying in the capital. I want to go back to Genteng village because that's my home".
"Hmphs"
The Emperor scrunched his forehead in wonder at Joan's request, usually people like to receive a boon from the Emperor because it could raise the family's honor.
"I can't possibly revoke the title I've bestowed but it doesn't matter for you to return to the village of Genteng".
"Thank you Joan, I know you still want to be humble but that title won't change anything about you. Only your uncle must bestow that title upon you so that you are worthy to marry our son".
"But uncle, I don't necessarily agree to marry him?".
"Whataaa".
The three of them shouted.....
