Chapter 12 Promotion

Xie Junyao pressed down.

The kiss fell hard again.

The warm fingertips ignited the fire and the clothes were slowly taken off.

After a while, the two of them spoke frankly to each other.

Wen Wanyu raised her head uncontrollably, revealing her slender white neck, and the tail end of her voice couldn't stop trembling.

"No…don't."

"What?"

For a long time, he looked at her with a smile.

"What did you just say you didn't want?"

Wen Wanyu held his waist and bit her lip: "Not on the couch."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Junyao's breath brushed across the thin skin on his face, and small kisses fell.

"Don't you think it's more exciting on the couch, my dear?"

Stimulate your uncle.

Wen Wanyu cursed in his heart but said nothing.

…

From the couch to the bathtub, and then to the bed.

Three times without any ambiguity.

There is indeed a difference between men's and women's bodies. Even until Wen Wanyu was exhausted, Xie Junyao seemed tireless.

By the time it was over, she was completely exhausted and could only collapse in his arms. Her hair was soaked with sweat. The hand they had held in their moment of ecstasy still held.

Xie Junyao patted her head, his voice full of satisfaction, "Take a bath before going to bed."

Wen Wanyu slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, "I'm tired."

"I know you are tired. But you have to wash it." Xie Junyao tucked the loose hair on her cheeks behind her ears.

"Your Majesty, carry me."

It seemed like he was really tired, and he was even ordered around, yet he claimed to have forgotten. Xie Junyao didn't care about these details.

After pulling the coat over himself, he pulled the quilt over her and carried her to the bathroom.

In the end, Xie Junyao personally helped her bathe and change clothes. Although he took advantage of her a lot...

When I came out, the bed had been made.

Wen Wanyu didn't dare to think too much about the servants' reaction when they saw the messy bed.

Xie Junyao looked at her bright eyes and asked, "Are you not tired anymore?"

"Tired." Wen Wanyu immediately closed his eyes, fearing that the person in front of him would become beastly again.

Xie Junyao chuckled.

"emperor."

"Um?"

"good evening."

Good evening? Perhaps it meant to let her sleep peacefully. Xie Junyao pulled her into his arms and said, "Good night."

A good night, for both of you.

Yesterday was so intense that it was no surprise that Wen Wanyu missed the chance to pay his respects.

Wen Wanyu was pulled and shaken by Bai Su and started to scream.

"Young Master, you can't sleep any longer! Eunuch Li has been waiting for a long time!"

"Eunuch Li? What Eunuch Li?"

Bai Su: “…”

Finally, Wen Wanyu regained consciousness and sat up, hugging the quilt. The pain in her body made her hiss.

"What time is it?"

Bai Su said, "My lord, it's already one past four."

It was 9 o'clock. More than an hour had passed since the Mao hour.

Wen Wanyu frowned: "Why didn't you ask me to get up and greet you?"

Bai Su said aggrievedly: "It was the Emperor who forbade this servant to wake you up."

"That's it. There won't be a next time."

Wen Wanyu then asked, "What is Eunuch Li doing here?"

Bai Su's face was filled with joy: "Eunuch Li is here with the imperial edict."

That was probably to give her a promotion.

It was worth it that she was so tired last night.

I heard that Li Dexian had been waiting for almost half an hour, so Wen Wanyu quickly packed up and rushed to the side hall.

"Eunuch Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Wen Wanyu bowed with deep apology.

Maybe it’s because she and Li Dexian are both working people, and working people feel sorry for working people.

Li Dexian couldn't bear her kindness and bowed: "My lady, you are too kind. It's okay, it's okay."

"I am here to deliver the imperial edict."

Wen Wanyu and a group of servants knelt on the ground.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees."

"Talented lady Wen, a virtuous woman in Wanqiu, with a virtuous heart and a model of virtue, I now designate you as a beauty. May you further embody this virtuous example, and may you continue to flourish and prosper, and may your grace continue to be passed down to you. I decree this."

All Wen Wanyu heard was blah blah blah, "Now you are canonized as a beauty, blah blah blah."

"I accept your order, thank you, Your Majesty."

Wen Wanyu asked Bai Su to prepare a purse in advance and gave Bai Su a wink.

Bai Su understood and handed the purse in his sleeve to Li Dexian.

"Thank you for waiting for me for so long, Eunuch Li. Here's a little token of my appreciation. Please take it and have a cup of tea."

Li Dexian refused for a moment before accepting it, smiling: "Thank you, my lord."

It was only two quarters of an hour, so Li Dexian could still wait. The Emperor had been rather violent last night, and as his personal eunuch, he knew this, so it was no wonder Master Wen hadn't gotten up.

After seeing Li Dexian off, Bai Su led the servants to congratulate Wen Wanyu on his promotion.

The servants were all delighted, their faces filled with joy. After all, the young lady was the second concubine to be promoted to a higher rank among the newcomers to the palace.

Wen Wanyu did not disappoint and raised everyone's monthly salary.

——

Chengqian Palace

"The slave is back."

Xie Junyao didn't even raise his head: "Why did you take so long?"

Li Dexian said with a smile, "When I arrived at Changli Pavilion, Master Wen was still resting. So I was delayed for a while."

Xie Junyao scribbled a few strokes on the memorial with a cinnabar pen. He seemed careless, but in reality, his mind was already elsewhere.

Li Dexian went to Changlixuan at noon, but she still hadn't woken up? He had gotten up this morning, inevitably making noises, but she hadn't moved at all. Even when Li Dexian threw his whisk to the ground, she still didn't move.

Xie Junyao even went to measure her breathing...

How could she sleep so well? She never faltered once she fell asleep. It was rare for her to indulge herself like that.

Xie Junyao was actually a little envious of her.

"I remember there is mutton-fat white jade in the storehouse?"

"Yes. The Emperor rewarded the Empress and the Imperial Concubine at the beginning of the year."

Xie Junyao nodded, "Have someone make a tasseled hairpin and a hairpin out of mutton-fat white jade."

After that, he added: "It doesn't have to be too fancy."

It doesn't need to be too gorgeous, and yet you use mutton-fat white jade. Isn't the emperor being contradictory?

Li Dexian responded, saying that since the emperor had given the order personally, he must have taken it very seriously.

Wen Wanyu took a nap and had lunch, then Yu Cairen and Fang Cainv came to congratulate her.

But she didn't believe it.

It's like, out of hundreds of employees in a company, you're the only one who gets a promotion and a raise, and a few come to congratulate you. Is that reasonable?

One of the nine rollers broke down, leaving eight to roll the road.

Despite thinking so, Wen Wanyu still acted with them.

After Fang Cainu finished her blessing, Yu Meiren said, "Congratulations, sister, on your promotion. From now on, you can call me Sister Wen."

"Hmm."

"Thank you, my two sisters."

Fang Cainu's eyes rolled. "Are these the flowers trimmed by Sister Wen? How amazing."

Can you say that I trimmed it myself? Of course not. Wen Wanyu said in a distant tone: "How can I? I'm clumsy, so the girls around me trimmed it."

"Okay." Fang Cainv responded dejectedly.

Yu Meiren said, "I heard that Sister Wen and Concubine Cheng were close friends. I really envy their relationship."

Yu Meiren was just waiting for her to say: You can walk around more in the future.

But Wen Wanyu replied in a nonchalant manner: "Many people envy the relationship between Cheng Jieyu and me."

Yu Meiren’s smile froze.

So is Fang Cainü.

The three of them chatted with each other awkwardly.

Before leaving, Fang Cainu said, "My Jiyue Tower is not only remote but also deserted. I am afraid of being alone. I had a great chat with Sister Wen today. Will Sister Wen feel disturbed?"

Did you have a good chat? Wen Wanyu almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

"That's really unfortunate."

Wen Wanyu put down the teacup and said regretfully, "My sisters like the hustle and bustle, but I like the quiet. When I get used to it, I will naturally bother my sisters."

…

After spending half an hour in Changlixuan, Yu Cairen and Fang Cainu got nothing.

Ah Chang asked in confusion, "My lady, I don't understand. Yu Cairen and Fang Cainu are showing their affection, why do you reject them? It's better to have more friends than fewer."

Wen Wanyu said seriously, "You have to be careful when making friends. If you make good friends, they'll be your best friends. If you make bad friends, they might betray you at any time for their own benefit. We can encourage each other with resourceful people, but foolish people will only be dragged down by us."

Simply put: good friends are best friends, bad friends are enemy friends.
