72 teasing
◎Master Xue is... teasing according to the emperor's order◎
Fu Hua married a new person and became increasingly cold towards the Queen Rong Qianyu. Rong Qianyu had no feelings for him, and Fu Hua's feelings for her were more like an exploitation.
He'd say a few words when he was happy, and then try to convince someone he could use when he remembered him. Rong Qianyu would most likely agree for the greater good, but sometimes he was motivated by selfish desires, like when he sent Rong Qianyu away to find reinforcements a month ago, only to spend a night with her.
He came to her again today to discuss the suggestion he had made a few days ago. "What do you think of what I told you a few days ago?"
I don’t know what he is thinking. Rong Qianyu doesn’t quite understand his thoughts. The more they get along, the weirder it feels. This person only wants to be comfortable and happy, and never cares about anything else.
He spoke earnestly, seeing how embarrassed she was to speak to Rong Qianyu. He placed his hand on her cold hand and asked earnestly, "I really need you. Please help me this time. The Queen is so beautiful, the Chief Seal will definitely like her."
Rong Qianyu was fed up with his two-faced behavior. Her gentle features showed no emotion at all. She lowered her bright eyes and didn't look at him. She gently withdrew her hand.
She asked gently, "Miss Cui is no less beautiful than I, and she is breathtakingly beautiful. Why don't you let her go?"
Fu Hua has been able to deal with this kind of problem with ease. Shameless people have their own shameless ways of living.
"Mei'er is pregnant," he said, sitting upright and glancing at Rong Qianyu's reaction. Seeing no change, he continued, "The Queen and I are one. I do love you. We are nominally husband and wife, but I have never touched you. Your going will provide me with an extra layer of security, right?"
Rong Qianyu had expected him to say these words. The warmth and kindness she once had were gradually fading away. She looked at him. The person who had once given her endless beautiful fantasies now looked so strange.
The real him has become so strange, so out of reach.
Every disappointment was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart fiercely. Repeated hurt and betrayal made her gradually calm down towards him.
The two years of getting along turned into an empty dream. She met the wrong person, but in the end, someone treated her like a treasure.
Rong Qianyu nodded, "So that's what Your Majesty thinks. I understand. I will go now."
Since he said so, then just do it. She left disappointed and went to the Imperial Household Department.
Without much hesitation or consideration, since her husband could not serve as a ceremonial guard in the palace, she could only rely on herself.
She and Xue Ji did not need any seduction, the cause was not good, but in this strange palace, Xue Ji was the only one who gave him light and support.
"Sir, the queen is here." Qingyun went to report to Xue Ji.
Xue Ji was a little surprised, "Why are you here suddenly?" He put down his hands and saw Rong Qianyu walking in angrily, and he knew that she was in a bad mood.
She didn't care that Qingyun was still standing beside her. Her suppressed mood burst out in an instant. She walked quickly over and kissed him on the lips. When their lips touched, the anger that had been suppressed all the way burst out. At this moment, Rong Qianyu's heart finally felt a little comforted.
Before he could finish his words, she tightly blocked Xue Ji's lips and took the initiative to hold the back of his head, causing all the blood to rush to his head. He did not struggle, closing his eyes and enjoying this strong and long kiss, which scared Qingyun next to him half to death.
Xue Ji was a little dazed by the kiss, so he pushed the person away and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Stop talking!"
It was as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were pouring out, and the gentle kiss slowly turned into a fierce entanglement between lips and teeth. Qingyun tactfully left the room and silently closed the door for the two of them.
In a trance, impulsive passion gradually overwhelmed the mind.
The sudden kiss caught Xue Ji off guard like a storm, and the sweet saliva rubbed between the entangled tongues.
Xue Ji picked up Rong Qianyu with one hand and walked to sit on the bed. Their minds were blank and they instinctively closed their eyes and kissed. They just wanted to hug him tightly, tighter and tighter, not wanting to separate.
After a long time, both of them regained consciousness. Rong Qianyu loosened her arms around him and saw that Xue Ji's mouth was swollen from her kiss.
She lay in Xue Ji's arms, completely different from the storm just now, now she was as quiet as a poor kitten.
"Unhappy?" Xue Ji asked.
"Happy." Rong Qianyu replied with two dry words.
He knew that she must have been wronged. "You ran over to kiss me when you were happy, and you kissed me without saying anything. I was almost out of breath."
Rong Qianyu smiled triumphantly, fiddling with his hair in her arms and rubbing her hands against his shoulders. "From now on, I'll come often, every day. I'll give you an imperial decree. You must stay in the palace and wait for orders. Come to my palace to accompany me at night!"
Xue Ji lowered his eyes and asked, "Why aren't you afraid of being accused of being in cahoots?"
"Don't blame me for being ungrateful if he's ruthless. This is his golden word, so of course I have to obey it."
She was just following the imperial edict. Fu Hua asked her to seduce Xue Ji, so she came and did as he asked.
It was almost the end of the year again, and Xue Ji was always busier than usual, so he couldn't often see to her. But seeing how distraught she looked, he knew she must have been upset again.
He patiently helped her tidy up a few strands of hair on her forehead and gently put them behind her ears. He then held her face and looked at her lovingly, "Why? What happened? Who bullied Qian'er again?"
She leaned softly on his shoulder, with a little aggrieved expression on her face, "Cui Rumei is pregnant."
Xue Ji knew it and hugged her tightly.
He took out a key from his bosom and said, "This is for you. It's the key to my private residence. If you want to go, let Qingyun know in advance. I have a place to rest that no one knows about. Just let him know and wait for me there."
Rong Qianyu looked at him and curled her lips, saying, "You really haven't told me something else. Why are you so cunning all day long?"
Xue Ji sighed deeply, his tone extremely gentle, "How could I not be nervous following your moody husband?"
"Then what are we doing now?" Rong Qianyu blinked her big eyes and looked at him expectantly.
Xue Ji pondered for a long time, thinking about what this relationship meant now. It was said to be an affair, but there was an imperial decree from the emperor, saying that it was already known to everyone. It seemed that it had not reached that level yet.
He thought about it, "Having an affair under imperial order?"
This was the most appropriate word he could think of.
Rong Qianyu was amused by his words of having an affair under imperial order. She put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Master Xue, it is under imperial order that we have an affair."
Suddenly, he looked unhappy again, "Fu Hua has taken in another person."
"Who?"
"A royal maid."
Xue Ji asked, "Are you jealous?"
Rong Qianyu pouted and said, looking particularly concerned, "I'm not angry."
Xue Ji smiled helplessly and said, "Are you angry and I helped you deal with it?"
This was his usual style. He would not pretend to dislike someone, and would ignore him if he could not see him. If he could not hide from them, he would kill them. Dead people would never bother him.
When it came to getting rid of the person, Rong Qianyu immediately sat up, stopped crying, and immediately changed her soft and clingy tone.
"No, no, no, please don't. She is an innocent person. She is a weak woman and cannot disobey the king's orders. Please don't commit murder for me."
Xue Ji nodded. "You better be careful and don't be careless, okay? You're the queen now, and there are many people waiting to find fault with you. Cui Rumei is even more arrogant now that she's pregnant, so you must be careful and prudent, and don't always conflict with His Majesty. Be careful about everything, and if you have no idea, go to Qingyun, and I'll help you find a solution."
He repeated his instructions to her over and over again, fearing she might make a mistake. Since he was alone, he had never cared about anything else and had lived without a care in the world for twenty years. Now that he had someone he cared about, he became more cautious. Even a cold-hearted man like him could have someone who cared about him, and he became more nagging for her.
"I understand," Rong Qianyu leaned on his shoulder and acted coquettishly, "Master Xue's thoughts are very appropriate."
"Have lunch before leaving?" Xue Ji asked softly.
"Yeah." Rong Qianyu nodded.
"Qingyun, serve the food!"
Qingyun now has one person to worry about too much. Both of them make him worry. While the two of them are eating happily, he is standing aside with a worried look on his face.
The happier the two of them were eating, the more helpless Qingyun felt.
The two of them were very affectionate. You pick up a bite with your chopsticks and I feed you a mouthful. Xue Ji poured a bowl of soup and handed it to Rong Qianyu, "Yam and mutton, eat more."
Rong Qianyu looked at Qingyun, who was standing there in a daze, and asked, "Qingyun, do you want to eat?"
Qingyun closed his eyes helplessly, pretending not to smell the mutton smell that filled the room. "I'd better stand guard. Your Majesty, are you not shy about it now?"
"This is called having an affair under imperial order, you know? It's the order of His Majesty." Xue Ji deliberately angered him, took a bite of mutton and smacked his lips in front of him.
Qingyun was too lazy to pay attention to them. "You guys eat, I'll go to the door. These two people don't take it seriously..." After that, he left the scene angrily.
Rong Qianyu was a little worried when she saw him leave, but Xue Ji seemed to understand everything. "Don't worry about him. Growing up means you have a lot of things to worry about. You didn't have these concerns when you were a kid."
The two of them seemed to be talking about their own child, "Don't be so strict with him all the time, he's still young."
"He's sixteen or seventeen, and still young. Don't be so partial to him."
"That palace maid is also sixteen or seventeen years old." Rong Qianyu brought up the topic again.
"If you're not happy, I'll send someone to beat him up."
"Really, there's no need... to be happy," but he was still unhappy.
Xue Ji filled the bowl in front of her with soup again and said deliberately: "Don't worry about who you are telling this to. I heard everything you said."
"It's Qi Fu Hua, right? Why don't you beat him up?"
Xue Ji was speechless.
He knew she had worked hard, and being the queen was even more uncomfortable. "Qian'er..." He hesitated, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Are you still used to the position of queen?"
If you are not used to sitting on the queen's seat, there are naturally more comfortable seats available. Rong Qianyu is relatively comfortable now, but she is still surrounded by dangers and has to be on high alert.
Every time Fu Hua tried to get close to her, it was actually for other reasons, not for the friendship between the emperor and the empress, but Cui Rumei didn't care, especially since she was pregnant and sensitive now. Fu Hua would definitely obey her orders and do whatever she wanted.
This also increased her arrogance, as she did not like the low position of the beauty.
She stroked her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and secretly vowed that after she gave birth to the child, she would let Rong Qianyu give up the position of queen as soon as possible.
The dream of being the head of the six palaces was about to come true, but Hua Xue walked in and broke all the illusions, "Beauty, An Cairen is here."
This is An Qian...
Now she should be called An Moru. This Concubine An came to Cui Rumei's Hehuan Palace for the first time. She was born in a commoner's family in the capital and did not receive much education since childhood. She only knew a few words and could barely recite a few poems.
She never dreamed that she would become the emperor's concubine. She was very cautious about everything in the harem. She had just entered the palace not long ago and suddenly became the master from a slave. It was inevitable that she felt a little uncomfortable.
"My sister is here!" Cui Rumei was unusually enthusiastic.
"Meeting Lady Cui." An Moru was also shocked by her enthusiasm.
"Sister, please sit down," Cui Rumei said, pulling her hand and greeting her. "Where are you from, my sister, who is in her teens?"
"I am Seventeen, a native of the capital." An Moru was terrified and spoke haltingly. It is said that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea, but there was no such intrigue in her eyes.
The beauty Cui in front of her was gorgeous, with a pair of charming eyes that were very alluring, fair skin and a well-proportioned figure. She was a stunning beauty at first sight, even more beautiful than the queen. Such a beautiful beauty, and such rare enthusiasm, gradually put her heart at ease.
"Seventeen is so young. From now on, just treat me like your family and your sister. Don't be polite to me, okay? I'm also a lonely person. I'm finally pregnant and I have someone to rely on. You can come to my place often and talk to me."
An Moru smiled without any defense, "Thank you for your kindness, sister."
"What's the point of being flattering? How am I more noble than you?" She had never cared so much about anyone before, and asked about their well-being in such a caring way. "Would you like to stay for dinner?" he asked again.
An Moru was so disturbed by her enthusiasm that she almost forgot her business. She finally tried to excuse herself by saying, "It's hard to refuse your kindness, my lady. However, I still have to go and pay my respects to the Empress. I won't eat now. I'll take my leave and come back to thank you another day."
Cui Rumei nodded kindly, "Go ahead. I won't keep you any longer because of etiquette. Don't miss your chance to see the Queen."
As soon as An Moru left the Hehuan Palace, Cui Rumei immediately changed her expression, her bright eyes turned into calculating ones, and even her tone of voice became much harsher.
Hua Xue didn't understand why she did this. "Why would a beauty try to get close to her? I'm just a maid from a small family, why should I call her my sister?"
Cui Rumei leaned against the table, leisurely eating red pomegranates stored in the ice cellar, tributes from the Western Regions. "The Queen is really angry with her now. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. She's so simple-minded. If I could use her for my own benefit, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
