Shu Wan hesitated for a moment and finally accepted the imperial decree.
She looked down at the words on the decree, "Qi Yuan, if you were me, what would you choose?"
Qi Yuan didn't speak; the grip on Shu Wan's wrist tightened slightly.
He didn't provide an answer, but in reality, both of them knew his answer.
"Let's go eat; I'm hungry," he finally said after a long while, his voice slightly hoarse with repression.
"Alright."
Shu Wan did not say anything more; she put away the decree and went to have a meal with Qi Yuan.
Later, by unspoken agreement, they never brought up the matter of the imperial decree again.
It was as if Shu Wan's question had never been asked.
Apart from this, everything was fine.
Shu Wan was now undoubtedly the foremost person in the harem, with Qi Yuan's favor clearly evident. She possessed power second only to Qi Yuan's.
