Chapter 17 Drink More

Yesterday evening, I saw that many crabapple flowers had been picked. I thought it was some little bitch from some palace who had some intention to seduce Your Majesty, so I came here today to arrest her.

Who would have thought that the flowers were picked by the eldest princess!

It’s all this bitch’s fault!

Qi Yue stared at her and didn't let her get up. He just took the bouquet of crabapple flowers and admired it slowly.

De Fei's knees were numb from squatting, but she didn't dare to stand up. She could only bite the bullet and said, "Princess, it's all my fault for not being strict with my subordinates. I offended you. I will definitely punish this slave severely when I get back..."

Qi Yue: "Not necessarily. She is just following orders. What's important is what the master should do."

Concubine De gritted her teeth and said, "I know I was wrong, but I will let the princess punish me."

Qi Yue: "Then I will punish you. At this time every day, you must personally help me pick a bunch of crabapple flowers. If you dare to use someone else's hand, I will ask my brother to demote you."

"After all, insulting a country's eldest princess is a violation of moral conduct."

After saying that, Qi Yue turned around and left, holding the Begonia flower.

Before He Xiang left, she smiled and bowed to Concubine De, reminding her, "Your Majesty, remember to pick the best flowers that are about to wither or half-open. Pick exactly twelve flowers, remove all the thorns on the branches, and tie them into a bunch with a crescent-shaped white silk ribbon."

"I will wait here for you to pick flowers at this time every day."

Concubine De suppressed her anger and nodded awkwardly.

After Qi Yue and the other two left, she angrily slapped the palace maid in the face.

The sharp nails directly scratched the already injured face, leaving a bloody mark. The blood on the face dripped onto the ground, but the palace maid did not dare to cry out in pain. She could only lie on the ground and kowtow to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me... I will never dare to do that again..."

Concubine De wiped her hurt palm with a handkerchief, and after a glance, she threw the handkerchief to the ground in disgust, and the palace maid was also ruthlessly gagged and dragged away...

After returning to the Moon Palace, Qi Yue had the medicinal food prepared. She returned to the bedroom with Begonia in her arms and saw Murong Heli still sitting at the table reading a book.

Qi Yue handed the crabapple blossoms to him and said with a smile, "You've been so good today, this is a reward!"

Murong Heli looked at the crabapple flowers, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Princess, the crabapple flowers you gave me yesterday haven't withered yet, and you gave me another one today. The vase is not big enough to hold them all."

Qi Yue lifted his chin and said teasingly, "Then pick them all and make you a crabapple flower bath."

Murong Heli knew that she was teasing him on purpose again, but his breathing was still a little disordered because of her touch.

He nervously held Qi Yueruyu's wrist gently, but did not reject the proposal. "It's up to you, Princess."

This answer made Qi Yue stunned for a moment, and he immediately asked someone to take the Begonia flowers away for disposal.

She turned around and started to push her further, "Your hand is injured and it's inconvenient, why don't I help you? I have never helped others bathe before, I really want to try it..."

Murong Heli took a long time to find his voice, "What the princess wants to try is really new..."

Qi Yue: "You're being so euphemistic? I'm clearly lustful."

Murong Heli praised: "The princess is really honest."

Qi Yue stared into his eyes and asked, "Do you like it?"

He did not answer her immediately. He paused for two breaths before lowering his eyes and replying, "I like the princess no matter what she looks like."

Qi Yue was very dissatisfied with his answer and pinched the soft flesh on his cheek in revenge, "You're lying!"

Murong Heli: ...

Murong Heli covered his face and looked at her with watery eyes: "Princess, it hurts..."

Qi Yue: "You only know how to seduce me, you bad dog!"

"Have you taken today's medicine?"

Murong Heli nodded, "I don't know why, but today's medicine is not as bitter as the one the princess fed me last night... but the candied fruit is not as sweet as the one the princess fed me last night..."

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Qi Yue knew that he was trying to please her, so she continued, "Then I must have a taste."

Murong Heli looked at the enlarged pretty face in front of him, his breath choked, and as he felt the delicate touch on his lips, he only sipped it for a moment.

The scent of Qi Yue at the tip of his nose also disappeared immediately, and his heart trembled as if it was gently brushed by a feather.

Qi Yue tasted it briefly and said with satisfaction, "It is indeed very sweet."

As she moved, Murong Heli's inner throbbing seemed to reach its peak.

Want to kiss her...

This idea was infinitely magnified in Murong Heli's mind.

"It's time to eat, let's go." Qi Yue reached out for his hand, and as soon as she touched that hand, she was suddenly pulled into his arms.

There was a heavy scent on Qi Yue's lips, and the scent of Murong Heli came towards him.

Then, he held her lips and started biting them...

Qi Yue: ???

Qi Yue pushed him away, "What a little puppy..."

Murong Heli thought she was unwilling, and opened her watery peach blossom eyes, which were full of grievance and confusion.

Qi Yue pushed him back to the chair and lifted his chin, "I'll teach you."

When his lips slightly opened, Qi Yue held his face and kissed him again.

Murong Heli closed her peach blossom eyes nervously, and her eyelashes trembled.

He leaned his face back against the back of the chair, supporting himself with both hands, and his injured left hand was aching slightly.

But Murong Heli didn't care about these.

Gradually, Qi Yue, who was originally in the dominant position, was suppressed by him.

Qi Yue praised: "You can master it in one try. You are really a good student!"

Murong Heli slightly raised his head to look at her profile and said modestly, "It was the princess who taught me well."

Qi Yue calmed her breathing and continued, "After dinner, I will have someone prepare a room for you. You can stay in the wing room."

Without waiting for his response, she stood up and walked out of the bedroom neatly and swiftly.

As soon as Qi Yue walked to the door, He Xiang was already waiting.

He Xiang: "Princess, dinner is ready."

Qi Yue: "Ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some more herbal tea to reduce internal heat."

He Xiang: "Yes, Princess... Master Murong won't come out for dinner?"

Qi Yue waved his hand: "Don't worry about him, he will come to eat by himself later."

Qi Yue had just sat down for half a cup of tea when Murong Heli had finished packing and came to have dinner with her.

She pushed a large bowl of herbal tea in front of him, "Drink more."

Murong Heli: ...

But in the end, he not only finished the food, but also obediently drank the bowl of herbal tea.

After dinner, Qi Yue didn’t really want to help him bathe.

After they had bathed separately, they returned to the bedroom. Qi Yue calmly helped him apply the ointment on his face and changed the bandage on his wrist, then sent him to the wing room to sleep...

On the other hand, Gu Qingyu returned to the Marquis' Mansion and locked himself in his room from early morning until dark without coming out.

Old Madam Gu was extremely worried because her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and eldest grandson had all died on the battlefield fighting for the Dayi Dynasty.
