86 Imagination
◎Just let me hold you for a while◎
The marriage was settled, and Rong Qianyu had not been involved, but in the end she had to give Fu Hua a way out.
There have long been rumors in the palace that His Majesty and His Majesty are having a disagreement. Fu Hua once openly asked Rong Qianyu to please Xue Ji. Although the palace people did not say it on the surface, they all knew it.
But no one really saw it, and no one dared to make a final conclusion.
Rong Qianyu has been in the Great Zhou for almost three years. During these three years, she was never well-received, but gradually became trusted by others. Now, the majesty of the queen is earned by her through hard work and struggle.
The palace servants also knew that His Majesty had let the Queen down, and it was no longer surprising that the two of them were not on good terms with each other. They thought that the two were drifting apart due to a breakdown in their relationship, but they didn't know that they had never been on good terms.
Now that Cui Rumei is pregnant, the issue of promotion has been put on the agenda again. People are discussing it privately. In addition to whether the baby in Cui Rumei's belly is a boy or a girl, they are more curious about the matter between the Queen Mother and Xue Zhangyin.
The eunuchs naturally didn't dare to say anything, and the palace maids were all virgins, so they didn't dare to say much about what happened in bed, but there were always some who were brave enough not to fear death.
After the court session, several palace maids gathered together and asked, "Are you telling the truth? The Empress and Master Xue are together?"
A few people gathered around and asked in confusion, "What does 'together' mean?"
A slightly older palace maid, probably around twenty, was filled with disdain. She glanced at them and said loudly, "They're just hanging out together. What's the point of that?"
"You mean, the Queen is giving herself to a eunuch?" These words really scared several young palace maids.
They probably didn't even know how Cui Rumei got pregnant, let alone what it was like for the current empress, the mother of the country, to be engaged to a eunuch.
I'm afraid it's a situation I could never imagine in my dreams.
Several people gathered together chattering. An older maid who had been in the palace for a long time and was quite knowledgeable about this said, "I heard that eunuchs are the most creative. Before, there was a maid who was taken as a concubine by an old eunuch. It was freezing cold and he made her stay in the snow with only a single layer of clothes. He said it looked nice, but she froze to death!"
"I also know a story about an old eunuch who loved toying with young girls. He'd tortured several to death, and every one of them was carried out with blood oozing from their private parts!"
Some of these people had entered the palace a few years ago and witnessed the rebellion, while others had entered the palace after the new emperor ascended the throne. These old people told such horrifying stories that frightened several young palace maids so much that their faces turned pale.
From ancient times to the present, eunuchs seem to be synonymous with deformity and distortion, so it should not be surprising that any strange stories happen to them.
In the past, Xue Ji was said to be fond of men because he was not interested in women. However, it was not wrong. A man of such status and position must be surrounded by countless beautiful women, and it was not surprising that he had a few young prostitutes.
Even Rong Qianyu almost believed it when she first met him.
Although he was a powerful eunuch, he only cared about getting promoted and making money. If Xue Ji had a lot of things, apart from spices, it would probably be real estate. He was not interested in using the emperor to control the princes.
He just wanted to get the power he deserved, and he didn't care about anything else. The power of the Imperial Household Department came from the emperor, and he understood from the beginning to the end that he was just a lonely dog working for the imperial power.
Understand your own identity.
But to outsiders, Master Xue was a treacherous and cunning person, so it was reasonable for him to be able to deceive the Empress into his hands.
The palace maids whispered to each other, "Could it be that Master Xue is also good at this, torturing people beyond recognition?"
What kind of person is he in her imagination? He is beautiful and dangerous, powerful and influential, and the Queen can only obey him obediently.
The lights in Fengyi Palace were dim. Xue Ji was sitting on the bed dressed neatly. In front of him was Rong Qianyu, whose head was covered in sweat.
He reached out his hand and stroked it calmly, his eyes slightly raised, and said in a cold voice, "Relax."
Rong Qianyu pleaded, grabbing the only thin shirt on her body with all her strength, her eyes slightly red as she begged, "No, no!"
Xue Ji was a little impatient and held her wrist tightly, "My lady, stop being so arrogant and just listen to me!"
The queen suffered from the threat from the other party, and her lips were bitten blue by herself. She could only cry and retreat, letting him torment her without daring to cry out.
Palm Print looked at the fair and delicate skin under him with unsatisfied eyes. His slender fingers explored back and forth, and then playfully kissed her cold earlobe.
The breath was warm, and Rong Qianyu's body trembled, which made Xue Ji even more interested. "Your Majesty, please be good. I am a minister who loves women. Why should we make such a happy event so unpleasant for everyone?"
"I don't want it, I don't want it..." Rong Qianyu was unable to resist and left scarlet marks on his body.
Xue Ji looked nonchalant, "Your Majesty has given the Empress to me, so the Empress will just be obedient."
Rong Qianyu just felt ashamed and kept sobbing softly.
Xue Ji was still not satisfied and pressed on her, "Don't cry, dear. I will wipe away your tears with my tongue. I can't stay here any longer if you continue like this. It will be bad if you hurt Your Majesty." Xue Ji forcefully stripped off the last layer of her clothes, touched the queen's face, which had already dried up from crying, with the tip of his tongue and wiped away her tears with his tongue.
Several young palace maids blushed immediately, "No way!"
The older palace maid seemed to understand this very well. "What's there to be incapable of? Eunuchs are rootless..."
"Sisters, you are so free!" Qingyun interrupted the crazy fantasies of several people.
Some people cleverly ran away immediately, but he caught the leading few red-handed. They looked at each other and could only bow awkwardly, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
Qingyun smiled sweetly, which she had learned from Xue Ji. She was very conscientious and said, "What are you sisters talking about? Why don't you tell me what makes you so happy?"
"Nothing... nothing?" Several people looked at each other.
"Why don't you sisters go to the Imperial Household Department and tell my master your stories?"
Everyone was brought to the Imperial Household Department in fear. Ever since this troublesome seal-in-chief of his family had developed romantic feelings, he had consciously acted as a supervisory censor. He would handle minor disputes by himself, and worked hard for the reputation of the adults. He would leave the serious cases to Xue Ji.
The Imperial Household Department is in charge of the palace eunuchs, but there are always some palace maids who are not afraid of death and insist on charging against them.
Xue Ji was still dressed elegantly. The room was thick with incense, and his sharp features had somehow softened. "Go ahead," he said, taking a sip of tea. "Who among you spread the word?"
The maids knew they were doomed to die, and their arrogant and mocking demeanor vanished. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy. "No, Master Seal, you misunderstood. It's not true."
He sat upright, looking exactly like they imagined. "I'm playing with a young girl? I'm torturing her beyond recognition?"
He put down the tea bowl, took out an ivory fan and lifted the chin of a palace maid, "Have you seen it?" The palace maid was so scared that she couldn't stop sobbing.
"No, no!" she said in a trembling voice.
"I haven't seen it before... Then do you want to see it for yourself?" A strange and inappropriate smile suddenly appeared on his serious face.
This smile was even scarier than when he was not angry but looked intimidating.
No matter what he said, these palace maids would just cry. He found it boring and turned away from her face.
Standing up and returning to his chair, he said, "A few years ago, you guys spread the rumor that I liked men, didn't know how to be gentle with women, and didn't have a woman to warm my bed. Now you're comparing me to those lowly people?"
"Do you want to die?"
The palace maids were pale and nervous, and they cried so hard that they seemed to be suffocating.
"We were wrong. We won't do it again. We promise we won't tell anyone. Please spare my life, Master!"
Xue Ji obviously didn't want them to leave the Imperial Household Department alive. If that was the case, he would do the opposite. "Then I will tell you today, so that you can die with a clear mind."
He gripped one of them tightly by the neck, wishing he could strangle her to death with his own hands. "The Queen is indeed with me. Are you satisfied?"
The palace maid was strangled to the point of suffocation, and the others were so frightened that I dared not speak. "Qingyun, drag them out, don't leave anyone behind."
The legendary seal holder is insidious and cruel, and has no sympathy for women. He just dealt with a few stupid women who gossiped during the day, and at night he had to sneak into Fengyi Palace to warm the bed for the Queen.
Whenever he thought of what happened during the day, he felt uncomfortable. It didn't matter if she scolded him, but she also slandered Rong Qianyu. He always felt that he was the one who implicated her.
Rong Qianyu noticed that he was a little depressed, "What's wrong, are you unhappy?"
Although he said it was nothing, he looked depressed and must have been angry.
Rong Qianyu reached out to smooth his frown, "Aren't you angry? What's wrong? Who pissed you off again?"
He only spoke half of what he said, "Today I dealt with a few palace maids who talked nonsense." He never explained why.
"Killed?" she asked.
"Yeah." Xue Ji nodded silently.
Rong Qianyu didn't ask any more questions. She knew the current situation of the two of them, and she also knew that Xue Ji would definitely stand up for her. No matter how much she tried to persuade him, it would be useless. In that case, it was not convenient for her to ask too much.
Xue Ji was a little surprised. "Aren't you going to ask me why I killed him?"
She took his hand, her eyes fixed on his. "You're not a murderous lunatic. You must have your reasons. If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it. I won't ask."
She had indeed endured a lot because of Xue Ji, and Xue Ji also knew her difficulties.
"Qian'er..."
He stretched out his arms and held her tightly in his arms. She could hear his heartbeat and feel his breath against her ears.
Their bodies were pressed together, their hands holding each other, Xue Ji's eyes were full of affection. Love is always a feeling of indebtedness, and this feeling made their feelings for each other more pure.
People all say that it was the hand seal that coerced and bribed them, but little did they know that they were in love.
Xue Ji felt more inferior in front of her.
Rong Qianyu held up his face and asked carefully, "What happened?"
He never explained, but just buried his head deeper and hugged her tightly, "Just let me hold you for a while, just for a while."
Rong Qianyu was a little breathless under his pressure, and kissed him lightly on the face, "Are you feeling better?"
Xue Ji seemed to have succeeded in his prank. He was depressed just now, but after a kiss, he became energetic and stroked Rong Qianyu's face, "This is not enough."
Her breath was as alluring as fine wine, intoxicating him in her tenderness. He held her head to prevent her from struggling and kissed her deeply, tears mingling with his rapid breathing.
His lips gently covered hers, his breath warm and long, her heartbeat seemed to be synchronized with his, at this moment, there was only each other in their world.
The jade furnace is covered with ice grass and mandarin duck brocade, and the powder melts into the fragrant sweat that flows onto the mountain pillow.
The two kissed passionately, the moonlight soft and the fragrance of jade soft, and in their entanglement, most of their clothes had been removed. Rong Qianyu hugged him and tried to take off Xue Ji's clothes, but he suddenly woke up and grabbed her hand that was about to move down.
"What's wrong!"
His instinctive feelings made him indulge, and his instinctive reactions made him sober.
"Isn't it enough?" Rong Qianyu was startled by his sudden reaction.
"Don't do it for now." Xue Ji was completely defeated in front of his lover.
Rong Qianyu also knew that he had something to hide, so she didn't say much. She snuggled into his arms like a kitten and comforted him, "It's okay, we'll take it slow." She kissed him on the chest again.
The two of them slept in each other's arms, chatting like an ordinary couple before going to bed. "Now that everything is settled, the Sixth Princess has married Tao'er, and Liu's title has been posthumously conferred. The dust has settled, and we can finally relax and spend the New Year."
Xue Ji reminded her, "Cui Rumei will give birth next spring."
Rong Qianyu closed her eyes and hugged Xue Ji. She was not very nervous about this. "Give birth, I won't accept it. She can't use the child to blackmail me. All I have to do now is to be a good wife and mother. Other things don't matter."
As the night deepened and the dew deepened, Xue Ji thought again of the punishment he had given the palace maid during the day. He felt that his disabled body had failed to live up to the trust placed in him by someone so loyal and devoted. "It's really boring for you to waste time with me."
Rong Qianyu immediately sat up and scolded him when he heard this, "Xue Jiming, what nonsense are you talking about!" "You've been like this since I met you. Why are you acting like this because you let me down again?"
"Don't be so self-deprecating. I don't care what people say, and don't listen to it!"
"Why are you still angry? I was wrong, I was wrong and I won't say it again."
Seeing that she was angry, Xue Ji had to stand up and comfort her. He had to watch her face all the time. Some people even compared him with those old guys who were not human. He felt really wronged.
He hugged Rong Qianyu and comforted her, "I was wrong. I will only feel at ease if you feel at ease."
Rong Qianyu didn't speak for a long time. After holding his hand for a long time, she responded, "I feel at ease, and you should feel at ease too."
