Shen Qingqing transmigrated into a palace struggle novel full of strict hierarchies and hidden schemes. She didn't even get to be a concubine; instead, she became a third-class palace maid doin...
Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Palace Maid Fifty-four Days
Shen Qing listened quietly, not wanting to think about whether he loved her or not, so he asked, "Your Majesty, are you skilled in archery and horse riding?"
She believed that Ji Chen had extraordinary arm strength, but she had never seen him draw a bow or ride a horse.
Although Ji Chen was the emperor, he was unwilling to indulge himself in riding horses for fun in the palace. Naturally, Shen Qing had no chance to see it.
She had heard about Ji Chen being at the martial arts arena, but that was not a place she could go.
Ji Chen nodded modestly.
Shen Qing silently calculated that if Ji Chen wanted to hold a summer hunt, the eldest prince was still young and would definitely not be able to go with him, but he could go to the Mountain Resort, and perhaps she could even join in the fun of the autumn hunt.
"Since you want to be a palace maid, why don't you be a maid in the Qianqing Palace? Then I can take you out of the palace." Ji Chen whispered in my ear.
Shen Qing heard it all clearly and felt a little speechless and contemptuous.
What a shameless thing to say.
Is she being a maid? She is clearly betting that his interest in her will not last long.
Working in the Palace of Heavenly Purity is like putting yourself at his mercy. Are you afraid that you will be eaten up so quickly?
As for leaving the palace to seduce her, going to the Summer Resort also counts as leaving the palace.
Besides, will the emperor take her to see her parents? Even a proper concubine is not qualified.
Shen Qing said softly: "No."
The meaning of disdain is extremely obvious.
Ji Chen heard it, and he was indeed unhappy for a moment, thinking that this little palace maid was so ungrateful. But after he rubbed Shen Qing's face twice, rubbing her skin red, this unhappy feeling disappeared without a trace.
Now it was Shen Qing's turn to be unhappy, and he struggled to get out of his arms.
He was still shouting, "How could you be so mean? You rubbed a piece of flesh off my face, it hurts!"
She was so angry. What kind of strength was he using? He just used it on her. Didn't he know that women's skin is very delicate?
Pooh!
Shen Qing acted like he couldn't be coaxed no matter what.
If she doesn't get angry this time, she will be the one to suffer next time.
The force used by Shen Qing represented her determination, but how could Ji Chen let go? He even put the person directly on his legs.
Now the space in front of Shen Qing was a little wider, so he clenched his fist and hit Ji Chen.
Beat this shameless guy to death!
It was obvious that he had ill intentions and wanted to keep her in the Palace of Heavenly Purity as a bed-warming maid. When she found out and rejected him, he got angry at her first, thinking that she was made of clay and would not resist?
She couldn't calm down at all now, and there were little flames in her eyes.
Ji Chen was the only one who knew how strong Shen Qing was. His face suddenly changed and he coughed after holding it in for a long time.
A series of coughs were heard in the hall, and Shen Qing's expression suddenly changed.
The body in his arms slowly softened, and his clenched fists loosened and grasped the corner of his clothes instead. His eyes blinked, looking particularly pitiful.
If she didn't forget what she just did.
Now I remembered that he was the emperor and there were some things that could not be done to him.
Ji Chen glanced downwards but did not lower his head to comfort her.
Shen Qing grasped Ji Chen's clothes and rubbed them in his hands. The sweat from his palms soaked into the clothes, almost turning them into rags.
The long silence in the hall made both of them uncomfortable.
Ji Chen wanted to scare her, so he was not in a hurry to soften his temper.
Shen Qing didn't even look up, so no one could see her expression.
Click.
A tear fell from Shen Qing's eye and dripped onto Ji Chen's clothes, leaving a circle of wet marks.
Ji Chen's eyes changed instantly, he became anxious, he put one arm around her shoulders and lifted her face with the other.
A pale little face with tears in her eyes came into view. Her mouth was tightly pursed, almost covering up her lips. She turned her head away stubbornly, not looking at him.
But she cried.
Because I was afraid that he would cry, even my crying was silent and suppressed.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scared you." Ji Chen's words were pale. He stroked her cheek with his thumb and wiped away the tears that overflowed from her eyes.
Faced with the apology, Shen Qing's tears fell even more violently.
One bullet after another hit Ji Chen's hand. He pursed his lips even more tightly and turned his head away, ignoring them.
Crying is the best way to vent. Shen Qing felt wronged. If Ji Chen hadn't provoked her, would she be in this position? He pushed her every time, as if she was just a tool to vent his desires. The biggest use was to make him feel good and happy.
But she didn't feel happy at all the first time, she just felt tired.
The second time, she was also coaxing him.
Why?
Now she was crying, and he knew he was in a hurry. If she tried not to cry, would he continue to threaten her and teach her to be the docile person he liked?
Shen Qing was crying and not saying a word, which made Ji Chen even more panicked. He had no experience in coaxing people, so he could only apologize in a low voice over and over again.
But this method doesn't work on Shen Qing.
Ji Chen took action and pried open Shen Qing's mouth: "If you feel better when you cry, then don't hold it in anymore, cry out loud."
What? If you can't coax her, just use a commanding tone. Shen Qing pursed her lips, and the color of her lip beads that had been pressed for so long seemed brighter, especially on her tearful face.
Ji Chen's gaze on Lip Zhu changed again, but he didn't kiss her lips, because if he did so at this time, Shen Qing would definitely be even angrier.
Ji Chen's handsome face suddenly came closer. Shen Qing paused when she saw him, and at that moment she almost forgot to continue crying.
He is manly enough and has a nice face.
Then she was pecked on the cheek.
Gentle and pitying, but it could not hide the fact that Ji Chen was eating her tears.
Shen Qing: “!!”
abnormal!
A whimpering sound rang in his ears, Ji Chen lowered his eyes. Shen Qing's eyes were full of disbelief, and he looked at him as if he were a beast.
He was indeed not a decent person, but only in front of her.
"Qingqing, your tears are sweet." This time he kissed her eyelids.
Countless people have called Shen Qingqing "Qingqing", but no one has ever called her that in such a magnetic, ambiguous and provocative voice. Ji Chen looked at her with ugly desire in his eyes.
But she soon realized that he should have called her Qingqing, a nickname.
He actually felt lustful because she cried like this!
Because Ji Chen kissed her eyelids this time, Shen Qing had no way to observe him anymore. She was forced to lean back, falling into Ji Chen's palm, and then move forward, putting herself under his lips and tongue.
She didn't know when she fell into a dilemma.
The sobbing sounds were intermittent. She was already in such a miserable state, couldn't she just have a good cry?
"Pervert... beast, so disgusting, so dirty!"
His tongue was full of bacteria, yet he actually licked her face.
Shen Qing was so disgusted.
But Ji Chen laughed while taking a breath: "Are you acting like a spoiled child, young lady? You can speak louder. There is no one else here, only the two of us."
Ji Chen sat on the throne belonging to the emperor. He reached out and easily changed Shen Qing's position so that he sat astride him.
Shen Qing's feet had no support, and it would be better to put his legs together to save energy. He just felt helpless.
Lying on Ji Chen's arms around her waist, Shen Qing quickly wiped away her tears, raised her chin and looked at him, to see what he would do.
Ji Chen really liked her proud, cat-like expression.
He asked, "Are you happy?"
"I don't understand what the emperor means." Shen Qing maintained this expression, but her heart suddenly reacted. Oh my God, she was actually crying and scolding the emperor.
Shen Qing wanted to get off Ji Chen: "I want to go find the eldest prince."
Ji Chen refused to let her, and raised his arm to stop her, and she had no choice but to say, "Ji Can has someone else by his side, you sleep with me."
Shen Qing opened her mouth slightly in shock, and suddenly remembered something bad, and stammered: "I'm still a little girl."
"Yes, my temper has become more and more spoiled." Ji Chen said obediently.
Shen Qing wanted to cry but had no tears: "I'm used to sleeping alone."
"This is a bad habit, it needs to be changed. Don't you think the night is long and you need someone to accompany you?"
Shen Qing shook her head under Ji Chen's gaze. Seeing that she couldn't convince Ji Chen to let her go, she could only soften her tone and said coquettishly, "No."
Ji Chen sighed: "How can you bear to keep me hanging like this?"
Shen Qing wanted to sneer in his face, calling her so heartless, when there was obviously someone else who was taking advantage and was so shameless.
Did Ji Chen mean that he would go crazy missing her when he couldn't see her?
Is this possible?
Shen Qing certainly didn't believe it, but there was nothing she could do because of the huge disparity in power. She couldn't leave unless she coaxed the other person.
But before she could think of another way around, Ji Chen spoke up and assured her, "I will never touch you without your permission."
"The bed in the wing room is too small and not soft. It is not as comfortable as the dragon bed. And I promise that when the palace servants come in to serve you tomorrow morning, no one will find you here."
Ji Chen's gaze was serious and steady, which would have easily convinced people if Shen Qing hadn't been sitting in his arms.
"Your words are golden, of course I believe them..." Shen Qing's tone softened, he glanced down and sighed.
If she hadn't discovered it long ago, she would have believed it.
Otherwise, why would she keep leaning on Ji Chen's arm? Was it because his arm was too hard to hurt her?
Shen Qing raised his eyes and looked at him innocently.
But Ji Chen smiled slightly: "Doesn't this further prove that I have amazing determination?"
Shen Qing: “…”
Can't refute it.
"But Your Majesty, do you really not need me to leave and give you some space to be alone?"
Ji Chen: "Don't worry about it."
His gaze fell on Shen Qing's face passionately. If this alone delayed him from keeping Shen Qing, then what was the point of his waiting for a month?
Shen Qing was finally left behind and got off Ji Chen. She almost avoided him, fearing that he would suddenly go wild.
Fortunately, as Ji Chen said, he had amazing self-control. He straightened his clothes and didn't care about it anymore. He was as calm as usual and there was no sign of anything wrong at all.
Ji Chen asked people to serve fruits and pastries.
Shen Qing missed dinner, so he ate something to fill his stomach.
After the two of them had bathed, the emperor's bathing pool was very large, and was even divided into two pools, one large and one small. The water flowing from the faucet was warm.
Moreover, the walls and bottom of the pool are made of jade. According to Ji Chen, the smaller one was used by concubines when they came to the Qianqing Palace to serve him, but he never summoned concubines to the Qianqing Palace, and no one except her had used it in the past few years.
His tone was casual, and his eyes were observing Shen Qing's expression vaguely.
Shen Qing exclaimed in amazement after hearing this. This Qianqing Palace was truly invaluable. Even the bathing pools for the concubines were made of jade.
I just wonder if she can build a pool like this for herself when she leaves the palace. It doesn't have to be bigger than this pool, it can be smaller too.
Since jade can be used as bricks, I guess this jade shouldn't be very expensive.
After everything was over, Shen Qing felt sleepy again. He came out of the small pond, put on a piece of clothing that covered him tightly from the neck down, walked through two screens, and passed Ji Chen's big pond.
Ji Chen had finished bathing long ago and left, leaving only the calm water in the hot spring pool mixed with an indescribable smell.
Shen Qing sniffed it, wrinkled his nose and said in disgust: "It stinks."
Then he went to the dragon bed as if he knew the place well, found Ji Chen, tugged at his sleeve, and told him that there was a smell in his pool.
Ji Chen's handsome face was covered with a thin layer of blush.
Looking at Shen Qing again, I saw two obvious blushes on her cheeks, which had not subsided even after she came over from the pool. Her eyes were blurry and she was grinning foolishly, "Hehe."
Ji Chen put two fingers on Shen Qing's shoulders, his face darkened: "Have you been drinking?"
"If it's the wine on the tray, then it's correct." Shen Qing patted his head, looking very smart.
Two sips of wine that were meant to help relieve fatigue and help with sleep actually made Shen Qing so drunk. Ji Chen didn't know what to say.
But this silly girl is inexplicably cute.
And Shen Qing was honest at this time.
Ji Chen took this opportunity to ask the doubts in his heart. Perhaps this is the only time he could ask this question. At other times, Shen Qing would have looked wary.
"Do you like me kissing you?"
Shen Qing said loudly: "Qingqing doesn't like me to kiss me!"
Ji Chen quickly covered Shen Qing's mouth and gritted his teeth: "If you don't like it, then don't like it. There's no need to say it so loudly."
Shen Qing blinked Shui Lingling's eyes to show his agreement.
"Why don't you like it?" Ji Chen put his hand down, but was ready to cover it again at any time.
Fortunately, her volume was normal this time.
Shen Qing counted on her fingers: "You don't care about my feelings at all, you don't coax me, you don't lead me, you don't start slowly and then speed up, but you start with a storm. I'm a woman, I can't breathe as fast as you. Although I felt so good at the last moment, I'm still afraid to face it again."
Shen Qing lowered his eyes and yawned: "I'm so sleepy."
Ji Chen let her roll into the bed and sleep, but he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth. He said that the man was strong. Isn't this a compliment?
He really wanted Shen Qing to see how powerful he was.
On the bed, where the candlelight could not reach, Shen Qing survived the disaster and let out a long sigh of relief.
It was so horrible. When the emperor covered my mouth, I suddenly woke up. I remembered clearly what I said and how silly I laughed. Fortunately, I fooled him.
But when Ji Chen asked why she didn't like it, she still followed her heart and answered, because she was afraid that she would be stimulated to death again next time.
Flirting with Ji Chen is deadly.
As for whether he would become insecure due to the blow, who asked him to ask such a question when she was not sober?
She revealed it only after much hesitation.
She should pretend not to know tomorrow, so that no one will be embarrassed.
