Chapter 4 Chapter 4 My sister is like a fairy
Qiao Tang sat in the warm room, thinking that this matter was almost done. Sure enough, in the evening, Pei Chengjue ordered someone to send her back to Taiji Palace, "I will be back later."
Qiao Tang was secretly delighted. He returned to the palace and saw two palace maids coming over. One of them was holding a box and the other was holding a wine jug. They both said that the wine was sent from the Cining Palace.
Qiao Tang opened the box, saw the booklet, and closed it with a snap. He then looked at the pot of wine and understood what the Queen Mother meant. It seemed that the Queen Mother was really anxious and even resorted to such means.
"Put the wine in the outer room." She carried the box into the inner room, took out the booklet, put it on the innermost part of the bed, got out of bed to take a shower and change clothes.
When Pei Chengjue returned, he had changed into a sky-blue robe, his black hair tied back, and was sitting at the long table by the window, holding a scroll. He asked the palace maid, "Is Miss Qiao asleep?"
"Your Majesty, no," the palace attendant said, then brought a wine glass and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Qiao said this wine is very good. If Your Majesty returns, please have a drink."
Pei Chengjue stared at the wine intently. He knew something was wrong when he smelled the alcohol. He didn't take it for a long time. His face darkened. "Where did it come from?"
The palace maid raised the wine glass tremblingly, "It was sent to Miss Qiao by the Cining Palace, and Miss Qiao arranged for the maid to bring it to Your Majesty."
Pei Chengjue's eyes darkened. "If it falls, if anyone in the Queen Mother's palace asks about it, just say I spilled it accidentally."
"yes."
Then Pei Chengjue walked in and first saw the portrait with clothes scattered on it. He walked over, grabbed the clothes and put them aside, revealing Qiao Tang's smile, and couldn't help but smile. His sister actually put the painting in front of her, which showed that she liked it.
He turned and looked at the dragon bed. It was covered by a gauze curtain, so Qiao Tang could not be seen. However, there was a faint light flickering inside.
He walked over doubtfully and gently pulled the gauze curtain, and suddenly the room became bright.
Qiao Tang was seen playing with a night-shining pearl in her hand. Her light-colored clothes were loose, revealing a large area of skin and faintly visible white skin on her chest, not to mention her beautiful face.
Pei Chengjue just took a look and suddenly his blood rushed up and he felt something strange under his body. He immediately turned around and left.
When he reached the outer room, he still felt it was not enough, so he went straight out of the back hall and went to the front hall. He took a deep breath, took out the book and tried to read it.
He seemed to be unfamiliar with every word. Finally, he threw the book away and dealt with this unfamiliar situation in a panic. He asked someone to prepare water, took a cold shower, and finally calmed down.
Before Qiao Tang could even react, Pei Chengjue suddenly turned around and left. She guessed that Pei Chengjue must have been drunk, which was why he reacted so quickly, but why did he leave?
She was holding the night pearl in disappointment and playing with it. She heard footsteps coming again and knew that Pei Chengjue had returned. She thought that since they had drunk wine and understood each other's feelings, he should know what it meant and should come over.
She put the night pearl away and moved the gauze curtain. "Your Majesty, won't you rest?"
Pei Chengjue pursed his lips and said, "I just came to see you, sister." He paused and continued, "From now on, if it's something sent by the Queen Mother, please pay attention to it, sister."
Qiao Tang was stunned for a long moment, then suddenly realized that he knew these methods. Perhaps the Queen Mother had used them on him before, so he remembered them.
Qiao Tang asked tentatively, "The Cining Palace sent a pot of wine today. Can that be counted as well?"
"Well, I've already ordered him to fall. Sister, please be careful in the future."
Qiao Tang felt choked with anger and thought, why should I be careful? I should be careful of you!
She was truly speechless. She couldn't just say to Pei Chengjue, "That's wrong. I wanted to have a good time with Your Majesty, so I let Your Majesty drink."
Outside the gauze curtain, Pei Chengjue seemed to be hesitating, but finally he opened his mouth and said, "Today at lunch, sister was worried that she would burn me, and I was very happy. When sister's hand touched me, my heart beat fast and fast."
Qiao Tang, "..."
My God, you talk so nicely but you don’t move a muscle!
Besides, no matter how nice the words were, it was useless. She really had no special feelings for the emperor, and would not be moved by these things.
She thought about it and replied casually, "Me too."
Pei Chengjue's ears gradually turned red. It turned out that his sister also liked him.
If Qiao Tang had glanced outside, she would have understood what she was doing. However, not only did she not restrain herself, she also slowly said, "I want to ask Your Majesty, is Your Majesty only doing this to me?"
Pei Chengjue thought to himself, "Sister, you're afraid I'll do this to others." He immediately said, "I only do this to you, sister."
Qiao Tang groaned in her heart. If she had feelings for the emperor, her heart would probably be beating faster right now.
Pei Chengjue smiled and said, "So I took my sister into the palace. Sister, you won't be angry, right?"
When Qiao Tang heard this, her heart choked. Could she say she was angry? No, she could only mumble a vague "hmm," "Your Majesty, you call this feeling for me a love affair. I'm sure Your Majesty knows that, right?"
Pei Chengjue was stunned when he heard this. He had never read those storybooks before. They were all about how emperors governed the country. But no matter what, he had heard about love between men and women, which was a very useless thing.
When he was about ten years old, he occasionally heard this word while listening to the palace servants gossiping, so he asked his father what love between men and women was.
The emperor looked strange and coughed awkwardly. "These are all useless things that are of no benefit to governing the country. Never mention them in the future, and never get involved in them."
He naturally remembered his father's serious teachings in his heart and never asked about them again. Even when others tried to teach him, he drove them away. Wouldn't this delay his ability to govern the country?
As I thought about it, an instinct in my body slowly awakened, a straightforward and surging desire.
He likes Qiao Tang.
His heart started pounding when he saw Qiao Tang, and he was overjoyed...
Only Qiao Tang could give him this wonderful and almost addictive feeling, and he had only met Qiao Tang a few times.
Pei Chengjue savored the memory and slowly began to laugh. He thought his sister must have felt the same way as himself, so he spoke without restraint, "Sister is really like a fairy. She made me feel like I was floating in the air."
Qiao Tang thought almost numbly, if you had found someone who was interested in you, you would have been in bed together right now.
Suddenly, Pei Chengjue said, "But, it's not enough, far from enough..."
When Qiao Tang approached him, he was almost stiff, but at the same time, another feeling arose in his heart, clamoring for him to get close to Qiao Tang and invade Qiao Tang.
Qiao Tang understood immediately after hearing this. It's not that she had never experienced love before. Everyone's most instinctive reaction to their loved one is physical contact.
Pei Chengjue felt that it was not enough because he did not satisfy his instinct. As long as he had physical contact with her, he would feel happy.
Moreover, this instinct almost does not need to be taught. Once awakened, it can be learned without a teacher.
Pei Chengjue tightened his fingers at his side. Since he thought so, his sister would think the same way. Even if he did something, his sister would not be angry.
Pei Chengjue approached step by step, and Qiao Tang's heart trembled, knowing that he was reacting.
The curtain was grabbed by a hand.
Qiao Tang thought for a moment, then pretended to be asleep and didn't say anything.
The night-shining pearl was put away, and the gauze curtain was dark. For some reason, Pei Chengjue did not choose to lift the curtain. He just said softly, "Sister, go to sleep."
The footsteps in the hall faded away.
Qiao Tang was surprised that he gave up, and felt a little regretful. In fact, she had thought it through clearly. No matter sooner or later, she could not escape being taken by Pei Chengjue. Instead of dawdling and wasting time, it would be better to finish it as soon as possible.
Pei Chengjue slowly walked to the outer room and thought to himself, no rush, there is a long time to go, don’t scare my sister.
So for several days, there was no progress on this matter. Qiao Tang completely understood that Pei Chengjue was not done with the relationship yet, and he wanted to do it step by step. How could he do this directly when they hadn't even kissed?
Qiao Tang deeply felt that the most difficult people in the world to deal with were pure people, no matter in which aspect. For example, Pei Chengjue was pure in love. He felt that he could not act recklessly, but had to take it slowly, and only when the love was strong would it come naturally.
Thinking of this, Qiao Tang realized that she wouldn't be able to leave for another year or two, so she decided to take a walk in the Imperial Garden while Pei Chengjue was still at the training ground, to familiarize herself with her future living environment.
The palace maid led the way. The scenery along the way was very beautiful. Her mood finally improved a little, and she slowly walked to a two-story attic.
There were several palace maids standing in front of the building. When they saw her coming over to pay her respects, Qiao Tang felt ashamed and turned away.
Qiao Tang knew that she had no position in the palace. The people in the palace treated her like this because Pei Chengjue valued her and felt that he would give her a position sooner or later, so they treated her very respectfully.
But Qiao Tang knew he would have to leave eventually, and didn't want to accept this courtesy. He caught a glimpse of a figure moving in the open window on the first floor, and heard wisps of fragrant mist rising, so he asked, "Who's in there?"
The palace maid said, "It's Miss Wei."
Qiao Tang heard from the palace maids that this Miss Wei was actually the youngest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and the niece of the Empress Dowager. She was two years younger than Pei Chengjue and would be staying in the palace for the next few days to keep the Empress Dowager company.
Qiao Tang's eyes lit up, and he walked inside. After taking two steps, a pretty girl came out. It was Wei Ruomei. She said first, "Miss Qiao, would you like to come in?"
Qiao Tang nodded with a smile, "I hope Miss Wei doesn't mind my interrupting you."
"Miss Qiao, you are too polite. I came out only because I saw Miss Qiao coming." Wei Ruomei led her to sit down at the table, and sat opposite her, her eyes looking at Qiao Tang generously.
Qiao Tang knew what she was looking at and smiled. Wei Ruomei was stunned. She was wearing a light red dress and was as delicate as a peach blossom on a branch. Her dazed expression made her look cute and adorable.
For some reason, when he saw her face, Qiao Tang felt a sense of familiarity in his heart, but the two had never met before. Maybe it was just a matter of chemistry.
As Qiao Tang thought about this, he glanced at the table and saw not only some tea-making utensils but also some perfume-making tools. He smiled and asked, "What kind of perfume is Miss Wei making?"
Wei Ruomei also laughed, "I just adjusted it randomly. I can't do it right. My brother has taught me several times. If I still can't do it right, he will think I'm stupid."
She seemed to be a talkative person, no wonder she was able to enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother could relieve her boredom just by listening to her talk. As for the brother she mentioned, Qiao Tang suddenly remembered the life story of the top scholar mentioned by Pei Chengjue, "Miss Wei's brother was the top scholar last year?"
Wei Ruomei held her face and said, "Yes."
Qiao Tang thought she was very fond of this newly found brother, so she decided to help her. "I've met Miss Wei and I'm very fond of her. If Miss Wei doesn't mind, I know a little bit about perfume making. Why not give it a try for Miss Wei?"
"Thank you, Sister Qiao."
Wei Ruomei was delighted, her eyes shining. She thought to herself, no wonder His Majesty likes Sister Qiao. Sister Qiao is so beautiful, has a gentle smile, and you can tell at first glance that she is a good-natured person.
After the two of them had adjusted, Qiao Tang looked at Wei Ruomei and breathed a sigh of relief. "Your brother must have been coaxing you. How could he dislike his sister for being stupid? Besides, how could Miss Wei be stupid?"
Wei Ruomei thought to herself, what he said is also nice.
At this time, the voice of the palace servant came from outside the door, "Miss Qiao, His Majesty has returned from the parade grounds and wants to see Miss Qiao."
"Then Sister Qiao, please go quickly and don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."
Qiao Tang looked at Wei Ruomei's frightened expression when she mentioned Pei Chengjue and asked curiously, "Miss Wei is afraid of His Majesty?"
Wei Ruomei frowned, "Of course, His Majesty is scary when he loses his temper."
Qiao Tang wanted to say that His Majesty had a good temper, but when she remembered the voice she heard in the warm room, she swallowed her words. Perhaps Pei Chengjue did have a scary side.
Qiao Tang followed the palace maid back to the Taiji Palace's rear hall. The maid informed him from outside, "His Majesty said to wait for the young lady to return and let her in directly."
Qiao Tang nodded, walked around the gilded dragon-carved screen, entered the inner room, and indeed saw Pei Chengjue.
Pei Chengjue stood in front of the mirror. Because he had gone to the training ground, he was wearing a bright red cross-collared, narrow-sleeved military uniform inside and a square-collared yellow armor outside. Some fingers were wandering on it, obviously someone was undressing him.
The mirror was smooth, and when it reflected Qiao Tang behind him, Pei Chengjue's tired eyes lit up. He waved away the palace servants with one hand and stared at Qiao Tang in the mirror.
"Let me undress Your Majesty." Qiao Tang walked over, stood in front of Pei Chengjue, raised her neck and leaned close to him, stretched out her fingers to touch the collar tie, and untied it flexibly, occasionally sweeping across the smooth lines of the jaw.
