“Yes…sorry…I’m just a little tired,” I said with an apologetic smile.
“Oh, that’s not a problem, My Lady. I was just saying that soon I will introduce you to your instructor. She will teach you the arts of water painting, dancing, and music as appropriate for someone in your position to master. Although I call her your instructor, she is just another more…experienced lady in this inner court,” Auntie said with a broad smile.
I sighed inwardly. To be completely honest, I had next to no interest in those topics that she mentioned. From where I come from those skills were reserved for the daughters of the rich and wealthy because they were skills necessary to attract suitable suitors. However, for a poor girl living on the countryside like me, such skills were unnecessary

Carefully and as silently as possible, I eased out of bed and put on my slippers. Then I quietly slipped out of my bedroom and into the hallway where I headed immediately for the exit towards the gardens. The night was quiet and peaceful and, fortunately, the moon was bright in the sky so I could see the surroundings quite well. The path to the garden was lit on both sides by lanterns that were strategically placed to provide lighting while also acting as decoration.I smiled a little to myself in appreciation as I walked past them. The wind felt wonderful against my face as I slowly walked towards my favorite spot by the white lotus pond in the garden. I knew that there was a stone bench by the pond where I could sit and relax for a while.It wasn’t long until I arrived at the stone bench and sat down to enjoy the view of the pond and lotuses. The bright moon was reflected in the water’s surface, and I could hear the calming chirps of cicadas a
Conquering The Emperor Leaving His Mark
I moaned loudly when I felt Ren’s knee move upwards in between my legs. Before I knew it, I was straddling his leg and I could feel him in between my legs. Ren’s hand cupped my breast as his lips tugged and bit on my lower lip teasingly.“Ren…” I whimpered his name weakly.His hand began fondling and squeezing my breasts in turn. The touch of his hand was rough as he pumped and massaged my womanly flesh, making me moan louder against his mouth. My body felt like it was on fire where he was touching me. My breasts ached and swelled at his touch and so did my lower abdomen that started to burn with heat.“I told you, you’re so defenseless, Rin. You’re lucky that I’m the one you met here…and not some other man…” Ren hissed into my ear as his hand started undoing the sash around my waist, easily slipping away the thin fabric.His hands parted my silk robe impatiently
Conquering The Emperor Spending the Night
My hips began thrusting up and down, moving wildly in rhythm to the wild thrusting motion of his fingers. Each thrust hit me deep inside and I cried out in ecstasy. I felt the hot heat of my own wetness run down my inner thighs as his fingers continued to pump in and out of my hole. I cried out at the intense pleasure that numb my brain as my climax claimed my body and soul.I felt Ren’s fingers withdrawing from my body and I blinked my eyes opened to see Ren looking down at me. I must look like a tired mess in his eyes. Ren supported my weak body and lifted me into his arms.“I…can walk…by myself,” I said in a whisper as I struggled to catch my breath.“Can you? You don’t sound so convincing,” Ren teased me. His playful smile took my breath away.Without listening to anymore of my stubborn protests, Ren quickly carried me back into the palace and to my bedroom. Ren opened the door
Conquering The Emperor Chaos in the Morning
Ren got off the bed and began pulling my arm for me to get up. I sat up on the side of the bed with my legs dangling down as I watched Ren walk off to fetch me a robe. I looked down at my disheveled clothes and realized that I couldn’t possibly walk outside dressed like this.“Wear this,” Ren said as he handed me a deep red silk robe.Thankfully, due to its dark color and thick fabric, the robe provided enough cover for me to look presentable. I quickly put it on and after inspecting myself in the mirror and adjusting my hair, I was ready to venture out of my own bedroom.“Come on, Rin,” Ren said a little impatiently as he took my hand into his in a firm grip.I followed behind Ren on shaky legs as he semi-dragged me behind him towards the door of my bedroom. Did the sound outside just get louder or was it just my own imagination?When Ren opened the door, I gasped in shock. There were so
Conquering The Emperor Our Plans
So apparently, Ren spending the night with me was a very big deal and this news traveled fast like wildfire all over the imperial palace. I bet no one suspected that Ren spent the night with me without engaging in any activities that could lead to the production of a baby. I wonder how they would all react if they knew that Ren and I just slept peacefully side by side until morning came.I still found it hard to believe that last night was Ren’s first time spending the night in his inner court. I figured that for some reason, Ren wasn’t entirely fond of his place and had little to no interactions with it, but it was still surprising, nonetheless.If I recalled correctly, Shin did mention that Ren wasn’t interested in women in his inner court because his attention was always on the wars and battles. He fully engaged himself on that front and sometimes he wouldn’t be in the palace at all.If Ren wanted to lessen the pressure fro
Conquering The Emperor Spending the Day Off with Him
“Then…about me learning medicine…” I said hesitantly. Was it really…impossible? Shin did not tell me that it wasn’t possible…“I don’t know…if you gain enough favors then maybe…” Ren said before flashing me a calculating smile.Gain enough favors…I knew that Ren was baiting me, and I was surprised that I wasn’t mad at him for it.“Really?” I said as I narrowed my eyes at him.“Yeah, really. Be a good girl and I’ll see what I can do about that…” Ren said.“Thank you, Ren! I’ll make sure that I get to study medicine,” I said, proudly accepting his challenge.Studying some advance medical techniques here is probably the only interest I have of being here in the capital. I’ll do anything to get the chance!“A woman studying medicine is goin
Conquering The Emperor Together in the Bath
However, there were many scars on his arms, and they reminded me that regardless of how at ease Ren acted when he was with me, the man before me is one of the most notorious conquerors of our time. I didn’t know how many empires rose and fell at his hands…“What are you thinking about? You’ve gone silent on me again…” Ren asked in a whisper, his eyes still closed.“I…was just thinking that the battlefield is a very dangerous place…” I replied softly, while trying to keep my eyes away from his scars.“Because of my scars?” Ren asked.“…Yes,” I mumbled my reply.“I’ll be fine. There’s no need for you to worry,” Ren said reassuringly as he reached up his hand and placed it on my cheek. His hand was wet and warm from the bath water, and it made me smile.“Do you…like wars?” I aske
Conquering The Emperor Pleasurable Teasing
“Ren…” I whispered his name in between my pleasurable moans as I closed my eyes and relax my body into his.“Your body is very sensitive, Rin. You’re reacting so much to my caresses…” Ren said as his hands continued to play around with my delicate breasts.“Stop…don’t say that…” I whispered.“But it’s true. Don’t keep your pleasurable cries to yourself, let me hear them…” Ren whispered into my ear seductively.“Ahhh…Ahhh…” I moaned louder despite myself when Ren started pinching my nipples harder.My nipples arched and I felt a slight stinging pain; however, the pleasure that I felt from his touch was so fulfilling that I cried out. My back arched, thrusting my breasts towards his hands while my hips writhed for relief.I felt his hand running along my inner thigh and I close

Conquering The Emperor Forever with You
“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
Conquering The Emperor A Gamble
“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
