“Was she here to amuse the high folk?…
Let me see if I can remember any good jokes from the pleasure quarter... No—Gyokuyou might enjoy them very much, but they seemed likely to fall flat with Jinshi. Those jokes tended not to turn out well for the men involved. Best keep them to herself.
If I’d known what was going on, I could have come better prepared. Maybe brought one of my “night visit” manuals.”

“Was it true that Jinshi would never defy her from this day forth? It was not a pronouncement to be made lightly—and in front of the Emperor, no less.
Gyokuyou regarded Jinshi like a younger brother—but then, her only memories of her blood siblings were of them tormenting her.”

“Or don’t you wish to accompany me into the bedroom?”
Now she really had nothing to say. She heard the teasing in his tone and glanced away from him.
Then she heard a long exhalation, and Jinshi said, “You don’t have to worry. I understand.” Then he stroked her bangs. “Anyhow, I’m told I’m only decently sized...”
Maomao almost choked. Jinshi’s smile had never looked more wicked.”

“He got to his feet, wrapping one arm around Maomao’s torso and pulling her with him. The cloth that had been cooling his midriff slid off.
“W-Wait! Master Jinshi!” Maomao tried to fight him, but with his wound right there, she couldn’t struggle too hard.
“My wife will have to be a woman I can trust implicitly.”

“Did you really hate it that much? The idea of becoming emperor?” he mumbled.
“I always said I did, didn’t I?” Jinshi replied, grimacing. “If you still insist on my remaining in the line of succession, I’ll just have to make a nice, big wound in my left cheek too.”
Maomao immediately clapped her hands onto the sides of Jinshi’s face, but he smiled: “That was a joke.”

“Are you sure there’s no cup for Maomao, Moon Prince?” Gyokuyou asked. Maomao looked at her with shining eyes.
“No, Maomao can’t drink yet. She’ll have work to do later.”
Maomao’s spirits plummeted. She turned a withering look on Jinshi, but he hardly seemed to notice.
“What work? I feel sorry for her, the only one left out of the drinking,” the Emperor said.

A most interesting company you’ve gathered, Moon Prince. Whatever do you have in mind?” Gyokuyou said, hiding her mouth with her sleeve as she laughed.
“I agree, and I wonder the same thing, the Emperor said jovially. “With her here, I’m sure it’s something very intriguing indeed.
It feels downright...domestic here. What’s going on?
No matter how you sliced it, Maomao was out of place in this room.

“Let me inspect those,” Luomen said.
“Who the hell are you?!” Bowen demanded, but Jinshi growled, “Shut up and let him look.” He gave Bowen a glare that silenced him”

“ Yao didn’t seem much more interested in Go than she was—but she was interested in looking at Jinshi. There was a faint flush in her cheeks, but she muttered, “No, no, stay focused.” For the moment, it seemed, she intended to live for her work. En’en looked at Jinshi with even more venom than before.”

“Lahan was positively beaming. If there was a pretty face around, he didn’t care if it belonged to a man or a woman.”
