I noticed Na had shut and locked the gates of her pace. Why did she lock everyone? out my mom had just left. All I could do was a bang at the gate. Hopefully, she will open the gates so I can see her.

  Cao came to the gate. "My dy is rexing right now. Can you please come another time?"

  "This is my pace as well; They will not lock me out of it." I demand.

  "Your Highness, out of respect, you no longer come here, so we locked the gates now when she is home." Cao informs me.

  Not being able to control myself anymore, I ended up barging in. "Where is she?"

  "Your highness, she is in the bath. She had a long day, no disrespect. Please do not bother her. You will only confuse her more. She has not been the same since you ignored her, so please just leave a note or something," Cao responded.

  Trying to respect her wishes, but I wanted to see her and try to expin everything to her. I just barge past her to the bathhouse.

  "Cao, did you get rid of whoever that made that noise?" she asks.

  "No, she did not. Why are you locking people out of the pace?" I ask.

  "Well, your highness I am in the middle of taking a bath. I do not want to be bothered. So, what do you want me to do?" She says.

  Could not hold in my emotions anymore.

  "Are you trying to upset me? You have been cold to me." I growl.

  She spshed water on me as she looks at me.

  "I have been cold. You ignored me for three months." She responded.

  "Ok, I got it. When are you going to forgive me for all my," I reply.

  "I am not sure. You left me in the time I needed you. I am still hurt." She says.

  Leaning into her, and kiss her on the forehead.

  "Well, that is a start." She says.

  Picking her up out of the bath, wrapping her up so no one sees her gorgeous body.

  "wait, what are you doing?" she asks.

  "I am taking what is mine." I reply.

  "When did I become yours?" she asks

  "The day we got married." I expin.

  Taking her into the study, opening the secret door to our room, shutting the door behind us. Laying her down on to the bed, she rolled around on the bed like a child ying cim to the whole thing. Not being able to hold back much longer, I had to smack her bottom. "Excuse me"

  Working on the small of her back with the tip of my tongue. Working my way up her spine as I reach her neck, pulling out the pins in her hair so it would lightly fall on her shoulders. Wrapping my hands around her hair and gently pulling on it.

  "This is what I have been waiting for." Whispering in her ear.

  She sighs. "Are you going to make up for three months' worth of ignoring my needs?"

  "You're in for a long night ahead." I reply.

  Taking my other hand, running it down her sides. Lifting her waist up. Sliding between her legs, pulling her hair to make her rise to her elbows.

  "Now you're truly mine." I stated.

  Gently slides into her, letting go of her hair, running my hands down her back, watching her shudder with chills. Grabbing her hips, moving her closer to me with each movement I make, hearing her moan in delight.

  She gripped the bed, trying to be quiet. Her moaning becomes more intense with each movement. Not stopping until she reaches the upmost exhaustion. Making sure she is pleased and pleasured all at the same time. She lets out one more final moan as I feel her juices flow all around my dragon.

  As her body goes limps and colpse, I y next to her she could just y there and smile. Leaning in for a kiss, I could not help but kiss her back.

  "What was that for?" I ask.

  "I missed you." As she rolled on top of me.

  "I missed you too. Do you forgive me yet?" I ask.

  "It depends. Is this a tease or an ongoing thing?" She replies.

  She smiles at me as I roll her on to her back. Kissing her lips this time, I did not waste any time. I just slid right into her, putting her legs around me. Taking my time just slowly being with her, we did not even realize when we finished it was already morning.

  "Your highness they are still in their private chambers. I cannot disturb them. They have not awakened just yet." She says.

  Knowing I should check it out to see who she is talking to; I get dressed as fast as I can. Walking out, I realized it was my mother.

  "Good Morning, your royal mother. I just heard Cao talking to someone. Is there something you need?" I ask.

  "Your father said you missed court this morning. Stopping by your pace, they said you were here." She replies.

  "Your mistress needs some clothes. Could you be kind enough to get her ready for the day?" Asking Cao.

  All my mom could do was a smile with approval.

  "I see you found the emergency room." She says.

  "Yes, we sure did. I had to rebuild it." I stated.

  As Na walks out, I see a little of embarrassment come across her face when she came out.

  "I am gd you two rekindled the fme between you two." My mom says.

  We both could not hide our smiles. "Everything is under the bridge now." Na, tell my mom.

  With a sigh of relief to hear that, pcing my worries far behind me.

  "Your royal mother, we are getting ready to eat. Will you care to join us?" Na asks.

  "I will have to decline. I am due at the dowagers; do not worry, I will report to your father why you did not show up this morning." My mother says as she bided us goodbye.

  I can tell that Na is a little embarrassed, leaned in for a kiss as we sit down to eat our breakfast. She had eaten outside today. I do not really bme her. It is an enjoyable day to eat out here.

  "I am with you as well tonight." Informing her.

  "I can be selfish for once; I do not want to share with you." She informs me.

  "I need to talk to you about something." Mentioning

  "What is it?" as she slumped down like it was going to be a terrible thing.

  "Well, I must choose a crown princess today and I am choosing you." I stated with a smile on my face.

  "Why not An? After all, she is carrying your child." She says in surprise.

  "I understand that, but I still want you." I stated.

  "I will go along with what you want to do," as she nodded.

  Cao walked up with a letter in her hand, handing it over to Na

  "Who is that from?" I ask.

  "It is from my mom. She will be here the day after tomorrow." She says.

  Seeing she is excited about this letter and seeing her mom. I cannot help but be a little concerned about her.

  "Are you ok?" I ask.

  "I am doing good." She says.

  "I can share your burdens as well." I inform her.

  "They must often change who would be constant in happiness or wisdom," she says.

  All I can do is look at her. "Why can't I always be around?"

  "You are getting ready to be a father and you have three other wives to keep you company!" she excims.

  "Correction, I have one wife and three concubines." I remind her.

  "No matter how you look at it, you still need to take care of them. I am ok seriously. Can I ask you something?" she says.

  "What is it?" halfway annoyed.

  "What were you and Shuming talking about today?" she asks

  "What you had said in court today. I did not know that was going on in your mind." with a saddened expression, I really could not tell her about the investigation that was going on.
