Crown Prince's Palace
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After a short walk, we arrived at what must be the front gate to Ren’s palace. The gate and walls were so tall and heavily guarded. The place eluded a sense of importance and superiority which made me feel slightly intimidated.
The guards bowed and opened the gate at once when they spotted Ren. With a wave of his hand, Ren silently walked through the gates to his own palace, dragging a very bewildered me behind him. Ren’s palace was huge and so was the garden that surrounded it. I had expected that, so it did not come as a surprise. However, the multiple layers of walls that currently separated us from the palace itself was something that I hadn’t anticipated.
“There are three layers of walls that we need to go through to reach my palace,” Ren said as he grinned at me as if he could read my thoughts.
“Isn’t that a bit much?” I asked.
“Don’t

“There’s so much gold here. Do you like it?” I asked, curiously.“Oh, that. Honestly, I’m so-so with it. Most of the golden statues, decorations and…other stuff were mostly installed in by my grandfather and then my father when they lived here,” Ren said as he pointed to a statue of a horse made of gold.“This place is so…out there…” I murmured.“Yeah, I can see why you would say that. I think I had the same impression when I first moved here…” Ren said as if reminiscing of the past.“Don’t you have work to do? You don’t have to show me around, you know…” I said as I turned to offer him a smile.“I do. Want to help out?” Ren asked.“Sure…but I don’t think I’ll be much use…” I replied.Ren led me by the hand to a large room fill
Conquering The Emperor Hand in Hand
“Ok, then. Sit,” Ren said as he pointed towards a chair that was on the opposite side of the table.Ren sat back down as well. I waited eagerly for him to start his explanation. This was the first time that Ren would tell me something about his work as the crown prince, aside from his responsibility to wage war.“These reports are reports from the governors of each town in the empire. They outline the overall situation of the people. When it is time for tax collection, they will report the tax revenue as well. Then in times of draught, flooding, or any other problems, they may write to request for aide from the capital,” Ren explained as he handed me one of the reports.So, I surmised, that from these reports, Ren would know what was happening in each town of his empire…and that includes my town. It reminded me of home. Even if I couldn’t go back now, perhaps, it would make me feel better if I asked Ren how
Conquering The Emperor The Real Ren
We continued walking side-by-side until Ren suddenly came to a sudden stop.“I took you to see the Sunrise of Joy…so now, why don’t I show you the sunset too?” Ren suggested romantically.“Seeing both the sunrise and sunset in the same hour is such a rare treat, I’ve got to say…” I replied with a merry laugh.“I know just the perfect spot that you can watch the sunset,” Ren said with a confident and charming smile.I was beginning to find out that Ren was full of adventure and surprises and all those things made my heart skip a beat ever so often. There was a small hill in the garden and Ren carefully led me up by pulling me by the hand after him. It wasn’t a steep walk, but my high platform shoes made it difficult enough for me to want some support. I missed my flat shoes so much. No matter how much time had passed, I wasn’t used to wearing such high and hea
Conquering The Emperor A Request to Visit Home
“But…that’s…” I murmured.“Come along, Rin. Dinner will get cold…” Ren said lazily as he pulled on my arm, dragging me behind him.I felt like my body was not my own as I let Ren drag me along the hallway to what I supposed was the dining room. I still couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact that I would be spending the night with Ren in his palace. I know we’ve slept together before but…that was in my room. It felt completely different to be spending the night with him in his room…I didn’t have any more time to worry about that because we soon arrived at the dining room where dinner was laid out for us. As expected for the crown prince’s palace, the dining room was too big for its own good. It like a dining room, a tea ceremony room and a living room had been combined into one, considering its vast size.“Do you often have guests here?” I
Conquering The Emperor In His Bed
“I just miss home…and it shouldn’t be a big deal if I dropped by for a short visit, right?” I asked, hopefully.For a moment, Ren looked very conflicted as he seemed to consider his next move.“I understand how you feel; however, it’s not that simple…” Ren said with a sigh.“Ren…” I said his name, unable to hide to disappointment in my voice.I had really hoped that I would be able to go back to my hometown for a visit. All I wanted was to see that the town and the people had recovered from the war. That’s all, honestly.“I’ll let you know if or when you’re able to visit your hometown. Until then, you will obediently stay in the palace,” Ren said firmly, leaving no room for any further discussion.“Ok…” I said as I looked down to hide how upset I felt.…No matter what
Conquering The Emperor Rough Attention
“Your nipples are rock hard, Rin…” Ren whispered against the side of my neck where I felt his hot breath.I couldn’t reply to him, and I didn’t need to, my lusty cries of pleasure were enough to make him know how he was making me feel. Ren’s touches were harsher and rougher than usual, and he was taking things faster as well.“Ren…” I called out his name breathlessly when I felt his large hand on my naked thighs.Without hesitation, Ren pulled my thighs apart roughly in one swift motion causing me to cry out in surprise and embarrassment. I could feel his heated gaze on the wet heat in between my widely spread legs. My love entrance was stretched open for him to see, and I blushed wildly in embarrassment as I struggled to close my legs but to no avail.“Ahh…your pussy is flooded with honey…” Ren said with a satisfied sigh.I bit my lower
Conquering The Emperor Misunderstandings
I felt like falling into a deep slumber; however, there was something that I desperately needed to know before that happens. Breathing in deeply and using my last ounce of energy, I began speaking to Ren.“What are you…so…mad about?” I asked, my voice coming out in ragged breathless whispers.“I’m not…” Ren replied emotionlessly.“My bad. That was the…wrong question. I meant, why…are you so mad?” I asked again, rephrasing my question. I knew that he was angry…Ren looked away and refused to answer me. I knew right then that I was correct. Ren was very angry, and he was acting very stubborn about it. I tried to sit up a little on the bed, using my arms to support myself.“Ren, I honestly just wanted to visit my hometown to see how things are…after the war. I…had no intention of leaving you and going back permanently…I know
Conquering The Emperor His Way of Apologizing
“Lady White Lotus, it is an honor for me to serve you. The crown prince has instructed that I present to you these gifts that he has prepared especially for you…” the eunuch said as his hand gestured to the multiple large storage containers that were in the room. They looked like large wooden treasure chests.Ren…prepared this? Why?My eyes swept over the many wooden treasure chests in shock more than amazement. Since when did Ren have time to prepare all this and why is there so much stuff?I didn’t have to wonder long about what was inside the treasure chests because the eunuch proudly presented the contents of each chest.“This chest contains jewelry all made of gold and precious stones of the highest-grade craftsmanship. This next one contains the finest silk fabric in various patterns and colors. Of course, there will be a tailor that will assist you in designing and tailoring your clothes for y

“Really? I think you’re as young and as pretty as before…if not more pretty…” Ren said reassuringly before he bent down to kiss my cheek tenderly.Although I knew that he was probably just saying it to please me, I couldn’t help but feel my heart flutter at his words. The truth was that I have aged, and I definitely don’t look as fresh or young as I did all those years ago. Even I wasn’t foolish enough to believe that I haven’t aged. “Thank you, Ren…but that’s not really the point…” I replied with a small laugh. “Can’t we try for one more? Please…just one more…” Ren pleaded sweetly. “But we already have three children…” I pointed out. “But we don’t have a daughter yet…” Ren said with a sigh as he looked depressed and deflated. I wanted to roll my eyes at fate. Most women had problem pleasing their husband and his family because they couldn’t produce a son. In my case, I had no problem producing sons, but my husband was adamant in wanting a daughter so that he could spoil her like
Conquering The Emperor Proud Achievements
My political influence changed again when I became pregnant with my second child and soon gave birth to another very healthy son. Having two sons for the emperor gave the entire empire confidence that the line of succession is secure. Despite Prince Kin’s women giving birth to a few sons as well at that point, it was clear that the line of succession will continue in Ren’s branch of the family, much to the dowager empress’s joy. Strangely, I have developed an amicable relationship with the dowager empress over the years as she had taken much interest in her great grandchildren. Naturally, I was favored without needing to do anything much. Unfortunately, the dowager empress passed away from old age before she got to see the face of our third child. To my utmost surprise and to many others’ jealousy, she had chosen to leave all her treasures to me so that I could distribute it to my children’s wives when they got married. I cried so much at her funeral that Ren had to step in and lead
Conquering The Emperor My Children
Lately Ren has found his work as the emperor boring and repetitive. As a result, he has been spending more time with me and our children. That was a great thing for me and our family, but I wasn’t sure if it was best for the empire. “Shin can take care of most things. He’s unmarried, has no kids, and loves the empire. He’s perfect for the job,” Ren said before laughing loudly. That was his response when I asked him about skipping out on some of his royal duties. It’s been around 7 years now since Ren and I got married but Shin was still as single and free as a bird. Despite our efforts to get him to settle down, Shin had some how successfully evaded the topic of marriage all together. Even an arrangement by the previous emperor couldn’t tie him down. Shin now considers my children as his own and acts as their loving godfather. …When we arrived back at the main palace, I was greeted by my second son, Rem. Rem is more of a carefree spirit compared to Rou. He doesn’t seem super devot
Conquering The Emperor Starting a Family
“It sounds very complicated. In my town, weddings are something that you celebrate with your close friends and family in a simple way…” I mumbled. “I’m sure that doesn’t apply if you marry a prince or if you’re becoming the next empress,” Ren said with a laugh. “I guess you’re right…” I said with a nod of my head. “Don’t worry too much. We’ll both have it easy until the day itself. If you’re not too picky, you can leave the preparation to the officials and the staff. They’ll get everything done and if you have any special requests, just let them know and they’ll figure it out,” Ren said before he patted my head. I guess planning my own wedding was out of the question. I was sure that whatever the officials in charge had in mind would be very different to what I wanted. Recalling the minimal version of the wedding dress that Ren once made me wear to appear in court, I shuddered at the thought of the real wedding dress itself and the ceremony involved. “I’ll leave it to them then.
Conquering The Emperor Our Baby
“Why didn’t you tell me about the baby?” Ren asked the moment the door to my bedroom closed behind us. “I…I was just waiting for the right moment to tell you,” I said honestly. “When did you find out?” Ren asked. “About a month ago while we were still in the middle of war,” I confessed softly. “You should have told me,” Ren insisted. “But you were so busy, and you were out there fighting every day. I didn’t want to add to your burdens,” I explained. “Regardless, you still should have told me,” Ren repeated his same opinion. “I’m sorry, Ren. It wasn’t like I was trying to keep it from you,” I apologized sadly. “I would have taken care of you better…” Ren muttered. Is that why he was so mad? “You’re so sweet, Ren,” I said before giggling. It was probably the first time that I think I saw Ren blush. I couldn’t stop myself from giggling at the sight. “Thank you, Rin. I can’t wait to raise our baby together,” Ren said as he hugged me close to him. “Me too…” I replied before sm

“But if you go, they might kill you…” Shin said. “Isn’t there someone who can help me?” I asked as a thought struck me. “You can’t be seriously thinking about…” Shin muttered as he probably caught on to what I was thinking. “Please, Shin…please help Ren…please help me…” I begged. “Shit…this is crazy…” Shin said in pure disbelief. I watched as Shin sprinted off. After he was gone, my legs lost all its strength and I eased down onto a nearby chair and concentrated on keeping my breathing calm. I placed a hand on my tummy as I prayed that all three of us would be safe. …**Back to the present**Everyone looked towards the entrance of the hall, where a frail old woman walked in slowly with her most trusted eunuch supporting her arms on both sides. Despite her age and her weakened body, the Dowager Empress walked with a straight back full of pride. In unison as if they had practiced it beforehand, everyone stood up from their seat and bowed. Ren and I did the same. “Mother…” the em
Conquering The Emperor Opposing Tides
After quite a long while had passed, all five doctors were done with inspecting my body. Ren returned back to my side before he placed a comforting hand on my shoulder as we all waited for the verdict from the doctors. “So, what is your opinion regarding the Lady White Lotus,” the emperor asked impatiently. Each doctor was asked to present his view one by one starting with the least senior and ending with Doctor Pai, who was the most senior of them all. “Your Majesty, I believe that the Lady White Lotus is with child,” the first doctor stated before bowing deeply to the emperor. The whole hall erupted in whispers and gasps of shock. Some members of court who had undoubtedly been eagerly waiting for the next royal heir cheered and clapped their hands. “Silence. Next…” the emperor said firmly as he invited the next doctor to give his opinion. “Your Majesty. The Lady White Lotus is indeed pregnant,” the second doctor said before bowing to show his respect. “Next…” the emperor said
Conquering The Emperor My Announcement
I can do this. I can do this. I can do this! “There is no need to punish the crown prince because I am without a doubt loyal to this empire. I wish for a bright future for this empire because that would mean a bright future for our child…” I said, making sure that my voice rang loud and clear. “Rin…” I heard Ren whisper my name. “What are you saying?” the emperor asked as a frown formed in between his brows. “I am with child. I am pregnant with the crown prince’s child,” I stated firmly. I could feel and hear everyone’s shock. Loud gasp of surprise filled the room followed by whispers. I could feel everyone’s eyes on me, and I placed my hands over my stomach as if to protect the baby that was inside. “What are you saying? Leave with Shin right now,” Ren hissed to me as he came to my side. “No…I am not leaving you…” I said stubbornly. “Is it true, Rin?” Ren asked softly, I could feel his gaze on my stomach. I smiled weakly at him as I nodded. His eyes widened in surprise befor
Conquering The Emperor Proof of Loyalty
Ren stood up from his seat and all eyes were on him. He took in a breath to calm himself before facing the emperor and the members of court. “I believe that the punishment decided for the town of Amber Leaves is just and fair. The emperor who also approved it seem to share my beliefs. The people of the town had no knowledge of what was going on and did not benefit from the enemy. Because of this, I believe that they should not be punished. I spent more than three months fighting the war. Compared to someone who had never stepped foot on the battlefield or the town itself, I believe that it should be fair to say that I am more knowledgeable about the situation,” Ren said calmly.“What about the punishment for Lady White Lotus? It is indeed her town that rebelled against the empire,” a senior member of court inquired sternly. “The Lady White Lotus has failed to deliver a royal heir for this empire as well. It has been a very long time and she is not yet with child,” the empress spoke
