Chapter 5 Chapter 5 If you can say that, then move a little. ...
The two of them couldn't help but breathe together.
The armor was taken off, and Pei Chengjue lowered his gaze to Qiao Tang.
Qiao Tang raised her neck in a slender arc, her white skin was dazzling, her eyelashes fluttered like thin butterfly wings, her plump red lips pursed and then opened, revealing moisture, which made his Adam's apple roll and his breathing quicken.
He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the mirror.
But-
There will be people in the mirror too.
In the candlelight, Qiao Tang, who was facing away from him in the mirror, was slender, and the curve of her body leaning forward seemed as if she wanted to dive into his arms. He couldn't help but react.
Qiao Tang's hand reached the hem of the clothes, feeling a slight warmth.
Just as it was about to reach his legs, he was suddenly pulled up, and his whole body was pulled to stand upright.
She called softly, "What is it, Your Majesty?"
Pei Chengjue grunted in his throat, "Nothing."
I took two steps back in embarrassment, used two fingers to pick out a sky-blue robe from the tray on the table, and put it on my body. I turned around and left, feeling anxious. Was my sister doing this intentionally or unintentionally? If it was intentional, was she trying to...
Qiao Tang thought he was embarrassed.
That would just have to be done slowly. She walked over, took hold of the sleeve, and said, "It's okay to shake hands."
Pei Chengjue lowered his head, his expression changed, and he reached out and held Qiao Tang's hand.
The young man's palm was big and clean. He wrapped Qiao Tang's hand around his. Qiao Tang gradually felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Pei Chengjue felt the delicate and warm touch of the woman's palm, and felt a fire rising in his body, burning his heart.
But it wasn't uncomfortable. Instead, his heart was beating happily, and he couldn't help but want to not let go, not let go...
But Qiao Tang still relaxed.
Pei Chengjue's happiness came to an abrupt end, and he couldn't help but murmur, "Sister, if you really want me to be happy, then I will be happy."
Qiao Tang closed his eyes and moved a little.
Just as he was thinking, Pei Chengjue took his hand again and said, "I will return to the Qinzheng Palace later."
The warmth came from the large palm, and the strange feeling that had been suppressed in Qiao Tang's heart surfaced again. She pretended not to feel it, nodded, and let Pei Chengjue hold her hand.
Pei Chengjue didn't feel he held on for too long, but Qiao Tang couldn't hold on any longer, so she let go first. "Your Majesty, it's time to go to the Qinzheng Palace."
Pei Chengjue nodded, suddenly touched her lips with his fingers, turned and left without saying a word.
Qiao Tang was stunned. She thought that Pei Chengjue might still want to kiss her, but he suppressed it. If she took the initiative, Pei Chengjue would not refuse.
Pei Chengjue returned to the Qinzheng Hall and stared blankly at his own palms. Even sitting in an armchair, his other hand rustled the pages of a book. He was savoring the feeling of clasping their hands. Just holding hands brought him such joy, and then kissing those lips...
That evening, Pei Chengjue came back and stepped into the dormitory.
Under the glass lamp, Qiao Tang stood at the table, staring down at the unground powder in the mortar. Suddenly, a hand came over and took the mortar. "I'll help my sister."
The other hand reached out for the alms bowl and pestle, but Qiao Tang refused to give it to him and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, shouldn't you be reading tonight?"
Qiao Tang had followed him for several days and was already familiar with his habits. He should be studying in the Qinzheng Hall at this moment.
Pei Chengjue coughed and said, "I need to read it. Sister, do you like making perfumes?"
Qiao Tang couldn't say whether he liked or disliked perfume making. It was just that when he met Wei Ruomei, he thought he could make some to pass the time. "Today I met Miss Wei, your Majesty's cousin. She's pretty and has a lovely personality."
"Wei Ruomei? She's always chattering. Seeing her gives me a headache."
It seemed Pei Chengjue didn't like his cousin. Qiao Tang said, "Miss Wei is talkative, but her words are endearing. Why does Your Majesty use them as a flaw?"
"Don't talk about her."
Pei Chengjue paused, lowered his head and sniffed the powder in the mortar, his brows furrowed, "This is not a woman's scent."
Qiao Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly met Pei Chengjue's gaze. He saw that Pei Chengjue's eyes were shining, and there was a smile on his lips. He looked at him with a sincere look, "Is it for me?"
Qiao Tang choked and nodded hesitantly, "I only adjusted it randomly. If Your Majesty wants, I can adjust it again."
She wanted to take back the mortar, but Pei Chengjue refused to give it to her. "This is it. How could Sister make this?"
"I have studied with others before. Your Majesty, shouldn't you be studying? Why are you back?"
Pei Chengjue put down his mortar as if to cover up his mistake. "I'll read here tonight. I used to read here too."
There is a long desk under the window in the outer room, on which are placed writing brushes, inkstones, and a bookshelf next to it piled with thick books.
Pei Chengjue took Qiao Tang's hand and they walked to the armchair. Pei Chengjue asked Qiao Tang to sit down, but he didn't let go. He stood up and flipped through a book. He couldn't turn the pages with one hand, so he smiled at Qiao Tang and said, "Sister, turn it for me."
How can this be possible?
Qiao Tang simply stood up, broke free from his hand, and pushed him back into the armchair. "Your Majesty, please study hard. I'll accompany you."
She went out and ordered the palace servants to bring a chair over, and sat down with Pei Chengjue. Pei Chengjue laughed at this and said, "I'm so confused when I'm with my sister."
He was expressing his true feelings, but Qiao Tang's heart skipped a beat. She just wanted to cover his mouth and tell him to stop talking. Besides, he was the one teasing her.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Pei Chengjue raised his sleeve and grasped her hand, and her palm was pressed against Pei Chengjue's thin lips.
His thin lips moved, leaving water marks on his palm.
A dark fire appeared in Pei Chengjue's eyes.
His thin lips never stopped moving, and his palms remained motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Tang suddenly stood up and ran to the inner room.
Pei Chengjue raised his neck, swallowing his saliva as his Adam's apple rolled. Suddenly, he heard a voice outside the door reporting, "Your Majesty, someone from the Cining Palace said that the Empress Dowager wants to see Your Majesty."
Cheng Jue calmed his breath, walked to the screen and said, "Sister wants me to go to the Cining Palace."
Qiao Tang's voice came from inside, "Your Majesty, please go."
Pei Chengjue went out. Qiao Tang stood inside, looking at her wet palms, and breathed a sigh of relief. This time, she was the one who escaped first. This shouldn't have happened.
She was very dissatisfied with herself. She went out to wash her hands and came back, only to find that the portrait's clothes had been torn. She asked the palace servants to bring a gauze curtain and close it tightly. Only then did she go to sleep contentedly.
Pei Chengjue was absent-minded all the way. When he arrived at the Cining Palace and saw Wei Ruomei, his brows furrowed and the corners of his mouth drooped. Wei Ruomei immediately had tears in her eyes and hid behind the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother said helplessly, "Why does Your Majesty always scare her?"
Pei Chengjue sat down casually and curled his lips at Wei Ruomei. Wei Ruomei immediately picked up her skirt and ran inside. He then said to the Queen Mother, "I will not marry her. Mother, don't even think about it."
The Queen Mother suddenly realized, "Your Majesty scares her every time he sees her, and that's why."
Pei Chengjue said, "She is so afraid of me that she won't want to marry me. I am happy with Miss Qiao."
The Queen Mother didn't take it seriously. How could a young man be so stubborn? He might say something, but if he didn't like it one day, he would just throw it away. So she didn't pour cold water on him, but teased him, "Is Miss Qiao so favored by His Majesty?"
"If the Queen Mother has nothing else to do, just let me meet her and I will leave."
He stood up and was about to leave when he heard Wei Ruomei's timid voice behind him, "Your Majesty, can I go to Taiji Palace to find Sister Qiao?"
Pei Chengjue's face darkened again, "No."
After saying these two words, he returned to Taiji Palace. Qiao Tang had fallen asleep at this time. She always slept very soundly and was completely unaware that Pei Chengjue had returned. She lifted the gauze curtain and touched her lips with her fingers.
Her lips were soft and full, and I gently caressed them with my fingertips. It was never enough.
Pei Chengjue gradually became unsatisfied again, and he increased his strength. A moan escaped from Qiao Tang's lips, with a scorching temperature that made him withdraw his hand and leave the bed.
The gauze curtain fell again, he strode away, and ordered the palace servants to prepare water.
As soon as Qiao Tang woke up, he felt a little pain on his lips. He sat in front of the mirror and saw that his lips were slightly swollen. Just as he was wondering, a sneaky figure in red flashed in the mirror.
She turned around and saw that it was Wei Ruomei. Wei Ruomei rushed over and hugged her, "Sister Qiao, don't make a sound. I'm afraid that His Majesty will be angry if he finds out. He won't allow me to come to you."
Qiao Tang laughed. Aren’t these two childish guys?
She pulled Wei Ruomei's hand away and comforted her, "It's okay, I will mention it to His Majesty, you can just play here without worry."
"Sister Qiao is so nice. Sister Qiao, please teach me how to make perfume!"
Qiao Tang was feeling depressed, and was overjoyed to have someone come to cheer him up. He did not go to the Qinzheng Palace to accompany Pei Chengjue for a while, but only made incense with Wei Ruomei.
After lunch, Wei Ruomei returned to the Cining Palace. A palace attendant from the Qinzheng Palace came running over with pale faces and asked the people from the Taiji Palace, "His Majesty is angry. Why hasn't Miss Qiao gone to the Qinzheng Palace yet?"
When Qiao Tang heard this, he took the prepared incense to the Qinzheng Palace. The palace servant went to inform Pei Chengjue first. Even so, when Qiao Tang arrived, he still saw Pei Chengjue with a gloomy face.
His eyebrows were already sharp as blades, and even more frightening when he was angry. Qiao Tang wanted to leave for a moment, but when Pei Chengjue saw her, his anger disappeared in an instant, and he just smiled, looking like a bright and handsome young man.
Qiao Tang's heart trembled as she watched Pei Chengjue approach step by step. He grabbed her hand and asked with a smile, "What did you do this morning?"
"The incense that Your Majesty ordered last night was not good enough. I wanted to make it again and give it to Your Majesty, so I called Miss Wei to help."
As she spoke, she entered the warm room and spread the powder on the silver sheet. When she turned back, Pei Chengjue had already approached her. She stretched out her hands, hugged Pei Chengjue's waist, and rested her head in front of him, "Your Majesty, don't be angry."
Pei Chengjue only felt a rumbling sound in his ears, and everything disappeared from his mind except the body pressing against him.
The blended scents floated to the tip of their noses, and slowly, a fragrance ignited in the incense burner. Qiao Tang withdrew his hand, took a step back, and smiled, "Does it smell good?"
Pei Chengjue's whole body seemed to soften a few degrees. He nodded gently and stretched out a hand, "Come here, let me hug you again."
Qiao Tang uttered a cry, then pointed to the palace attendant who was about to report. Under Pei Chengjue's cold gaze, the attendant said, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to the training grounds."
Preparations for the spring hunt had been underway these past few days, and Pei Chengjue had been going to the training ground more often. Seeing him hesitate, Qiao Tang urged him, "Your Majesty, please do not delay important matters."
Pei Chengjue smiled and said, "Miss Qiao, come with us."
