Ye Jingtang spread his hands slightly. “The last few times, you were injured and couldn’t move. I helped you because you were ill. Now, you’re healthy and walking naked in front of me. How can this be the same?”
The empress turned around and rested her butt on the edge of the long table. She crossed her arms across her chest. “What do you mean by ‘walking naked in front of you’? Shouldn’t 1 get up and change my clothes after taking a bath? You said you wanted to leave, but you’re sitting here without moving. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to throw myself into your arms and reward you?”
Ye Jingtang thought about it carefully and realized that he was really the one who was being unreasonable. He immediately stood up carefully and wanted to walk around the other end of the soft couch to leave.
The empress found it funny. She stood up straight again, lifted her long hair, and tied the thin gauze undergarment around her neck. “Wait!”
Ye Jingtang stopped in his tracks but didn’t dare to turn around. “Is there anything else?”
“Help me tie it. Don’t tell me you only practiced to take off girls’ clothes but didn’t practice to put them on?”
Ye Jingtang and Ning’er had been together for a long time, and he had definitely never done a scumbag thing like letting Ning’er clean herself up after the matter. He was very proficient in helping her put on clothes, but this skill wasn’t something he could use on everyone.
Moreover, Yuhu was obviously teasing him. If he really went over to help, she would definitely grab him. He thought about it, turned around, and pretended to pull open the blindfold.
Swoosh!
But the next moment, behind him, Yuhu wrapped her dress around her body and closed her clothes like lightning.
Ye Jingtang paused and turned back. He spread his hands slightly. “See, didn’t you wear it yourself?”
“I could only wear the dress. I couldn’t tie the undergarment. Besides, 1 didn’t let you take off your blindfold…” the empress replied casually.
Since she was already wearing her clothes, she didn’t take them off and continue teasing him. She tied her belt, walked behind a screen, and took out a long wooden box. “I agreed to ask Her Majesty to bestow you with a noble title and a few items. I came over to bring them to you. See if you like them.”
Ye Jingtang thought for a moment, pulled down the towel covering his eyes, and looked back.
Under the candlelight, a tall and beautiful woman was standing in front of the screen in a long red dress. Her butt was plump, and her chest was broad, making her look extremely eye-catching.
After confirming that Little Tiger Girl was wearing clothes, Ye Jingtang breathed a sigh of relief and regained his calm expression. He walked over and took the wooden box to size it up. “What is this?”
The empress crossed her arms and rested her butt on the edge of the long table again, like a female boss giving a surprise to her subordinate. “Open it and take a look.”
When Ye Jingtang saw the rare pride in Yuhu’s eyes, he knew that this thing was not light. He immediately placed it on the long table and opened it. Inside was a scabbard.
The scabbard was made of an unknown wood, and the workmanship was extremely exquisite. The scabbard slide and tip were both brass-colored, and there were hornless dragon patterns on them. It looked very beautiful, and it was incredibly firm.
Ye Jingtang’s expression turned solemn. He picked up the scabbard and sized it up carefully. “This scabbard…”
The empress was rather proud as she explained, “In the last year of the previous dynasty, Kuang Yazi fought in the Imperial City and only managed to escape naked in the end. He was holding his saber in his hand, but there was nowhere to put his scabbard. He had long thrown it away. This month, I got people to investigate and found an old man who had seen Kuang Yazi back then. The scabbard was created using his descriptions of the original. How is it? Do you like it?”
Ye Jingtang’s Hornless Dragon Saber had been passed down from his foster father. The saber was good, but the scabbard was made of ordinary wood and painted black. It was a consumable item. His foster father had replaced it several times in the past ten years. Because the saber had not been passed down to him for long, he had never paid attention to this aspect.
Ye Jingtang looked over the scabbard carefully. Then he pulled out his saber, inserted it into the scabbard, and felt it. Although there was no difference in feel, the overall color and shape were indeed more compatible. With the quality, it would likely last for a long time. He smiled and said, “Miss Yuhu, you’re really considerate. I’m used to being frugal as an escort all year round, and 1 never thought 1 could spend money on a scabbard.”

The empress felt that these words were a little strange, but seeing that Ye Jingtang was very satisfied, she didn’t think too much about it. She turned around and walked toward the door. “A scabbard is nothing. I can give you everything you can and can’t think of. Work harder in the future. I’m going back to the resting palace. Heal well.”
“Sigh…” Ye Jingtang was indeed pleasantly surprised.. He hung the scabbard at his waist and stood on the spot to watch the woman in a red dress leave until she disappeared out the door…
