The three of us sat at the table, staring at each other. I looked at Empress Ning with impatience on my face.

【Why didn't you wake up my memories earlier!】

【At this rate, it will take forever to accumulate enough goodwill to return to the galaxy!!! Ah!!!】

Used to the strange situation, I couldn't help but rub my ears, it's so noisy.

【Why isn't this annoying emperor leaving?】

【If he doesn't leave, how can I have some alone time with the empress?】

【...】

【If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move.】

【...】

After a long time.

【Did Empress Jing say she would make grilled fish tonight? If I'm late, I'll probably miss out because of Empress Li.】

"I take my leave," Empress Ning's voice was soft as she elegantly departed.

Me: "...quite the actress."

Finally, only the empress and I were left. I noticed a delicate box beside the fruit plate on the table, "Does she often come to see you?"

The empress shook her head and casually handed the box to a maid to put away, "Just these past two days."

"Brother must be nearing Qinghe area by now."

I nodded slightly, picked up a grape from the table, peeled it, and fed it to her.

She gently took it into her mouth, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"We are husband and wife, no need for such formality." I had said this before.

Once during the wedding night, once during the enthronement ceremony.

I truly regarded her as my wife.

Her eyes welled up with tears: 【I only hope that after tomorrow's morning court, you will still remember these words...】

Tomorrow's morning court?

I embraced the queen, who was already in tears, and comforted her softly.

In the evening, the candlelight flickered.

The queen leaned against my arm, her voice slightly hoarse, "Tomorrow morning, I will prepare some cooling drinks for Your Majesty to relieve the heat. Would that be to your liking?"

My hand wandered on her body, my breath slightly erratic.

Once again, I leaned in to kiss her, "Whatever Wan'er wishes, shall be done."
