Chapter 14 Chapter 14 I’m glad it wasn’t my pajamas that were torn…
When Qiao Tang woke up, Pei Chengjue had already gone to attend the morning court. She quickly touched the huge night pearl, and knowing that it was placed there by Pei Chengjue, she threw it aside without any interest.
Her fingers touched the book and her heart jumped in surprise. She almost forgot there was such a thing on the bed. Since Pei Chengjue could put the night pearl in it, he might have discovered it and read it.
She thought about the current situation. She and Pei Chengjue had done everything except the last step, and her period had passed. It would be natural for her to have sex at this time, which must be reasonable in Pei Chengjue's eyes.
However, before going ahead with the ceremony, she still needed to discuss one thing with Pei Chengjue. If Pei Chengjue agreed, then it would be fine. But if he disagreed...
Qiao Tang bit the corner of her lip, feeling that this was really difficult. She should try to get Pei Chengjue's consent first. She couldn't drink contraceptive soup after having sex and hurt her body.
That evening, after bathing, she sat in front of the mirror with her black hair loose, and asked the palace maid to put on light makeup for her.
She saw Nanny Wang looking at her with a smile several times, and knew what Nanny was thinking. Ever since Nanny knew that Pei Chengjue liked her so much before she went to bed with him, she became more and more convinced that Pei Chengjue was her destined man. Now she must have thought that she had figured it out and was ready to go to bed with him.
Sure enough, after the palace maid left, Nanny Wang came closer and said with a smile, "It's good that you've figured it out, young lady." She whispered a few more times in a caring manner, fearing that Pei Chengjue was inexperienced and might hurt Qiao Tang in a moment of haste.
Qiao Tang didn't want her to worry, so he didn't explain much and just nodded in agreement.
After watching Nanny Wang leave the bedroom with peace of mind, she got up and climbed onto the bed, pulled down the gauze curtain, and took out the night pearl that Pei Chengjue had placed there to illuminate the room.
At the same time, he took out the booklet and read it page by page. Halfway through, he felt a little nervous for some reason, so he closed the booklet and put it back where it belonged.
She regretted reading the book. She had no plans to sleep with Pei Chengjue tonight. She just wanted to discuss something with him.
When her mind was in a mess, she heard footsteps approaching, and then the gauze curtain was lifted by a hand, and Pei Chengjue's joyful voice came in, "Sister..."
The voice stopped abruptly. With a crackling sound, the gauze curtain swayed and shattered. Then Pei Chengjue left quickly, "Sister, wait for me!"
Qiao Tang just raised his head and didn't even see Pei Chengjue's figure. He first saw the pitifully torn gauze curtain beside the bed. He felt a little relieved in his heart that it was not his pajamas that were torn.
She ignored the gauze curtain and lay down again, her black hair scattered on the pillow, her fair skin as bright as moonlight, and her whole body emitting a faint fragrance.
Pei Chengjue stepped in again, having regained his composure. He pretended not to see the gauze curtain and leaned closer to Qiao Tang. He brushed her soft long hair with his fingers and kissed her bit by bit.
Qiao Tang, "..."
If we start from here, isn’t it too slow?
Pei Chengjue climbed onto the bed, and the moonlight that could not be blocked by the torn gauze curtain shone in. He and he kissed Qiao Tang on the forehead.
His kiss was light as a feather, yet full of love.
Qiao Tang's eyelashes trembled and she bit the corner of her lips. She was hesitating whether to urge Pei Chengjue to speed up, when she was suddenly distracted by a stormy kiss.
Qiao Tang was pressed under him, enduring one kiss after another until Pei Chengjue stopped. She closed her eyes, completely out of strength to speak, and simply kept silent, lying quietly in Pei Chengjue's arms.
Pei Chengjue chuckled, "Sister, you've been so good today."
Qiao Tang didn't want to say anything, and he didn't get angry either. He gently stroked Qiao Tang's cheek with his fingertips, "Last night, I wanted to apologize to you for what happened in the pavilion, but you fell asleep."
His fingertips brushed across Qiao Tang's swollen lips. He closed his eyes and suppressed his desire, "I promise my sister that I will take the occasion into consideration in the future, and also—"
"Yesterday, I was alone with Miss Gu. It was Miss Gu who came to see me first and asked for my guidance, so I stayed with her in the pavilion. Sister, please don't think too much."
Qiao Tang opened her eyes in an instant. She was surprised at first that Pei Chengjue actually thought she would be jealous, but then she became happy. Being jealous was a good thing, and this jealousy came at the right time!
She pretended to ignore Pei Chengjue, gently slapped away the rebellious fingers, and silently turned sideways, leaving Pei Chengjue with only her back.
It seems that he is really jealous to the extreme.
Pei Chengjue was stunned. A surge of immense joy surged in his chest, pounding his mind and making him laugh blissfully, "Sister, I was wrong. I won't do it again."
Qiao Tang let him talk for a long while, waiting until he had exhausted all the words he could say before turning around and sealing his mouth with his fingers. "Your Majesty, are you really willing to do anything for me?"
Pei Chengjue nodded very quickly, his eyes darkened, and he opened his mouth to suck.
Qiao Tang's face flushed. He pulled his fingers out to hook them around his collar, pulled him down, and told him what he was thinking about.
Pei Chengjue's ears flushed at first, then his expression gradually grew serious. Finally, he said thoughtfully, "Since it's for the good of my sister, I will naturally agree. I'll just keep it a secret from Mother. However, my sister—"
He was rarely confused and asked, "If she is pregnant, wouldn't it be better to give birth to the baby?"
Zhenzhen's words startled Qiao Tang's heart, and her face turned pale. How could she be pregnant? How could she give birth to Pei Chengjue's child? She would eventually have to leave the palace, and she absolutely could not allow herself to make such a mistake!
Fortunately, the Night Pearl was pressed under her body, and the moonlight was thin and faint. Pei Chengjue could not see her changes, but still kissed her gently and carefully, "Sister?"
She lifted her neck to bear it, trying to calm herself down, and said with a forced smile, "Your Majesty hasn't even come of age yet, and it's a little premature to think about becoming a father."
Pei Chengjue's thin lips paused, and he said slowly while thinking, "Sister, what you said makes sense. I will do as you say."
Qiao Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After the false alarm, she immediately thought of another thing, "Perhaps His Majesty will hand this matter over to Cheng Ying?"
Cheng Ying was the female doctor who had come before. Qiao Tang liked her calmness and composure, and since they were both girls, it was easy for them to communicate.
Pei Chengjue started again, his voice vague, "Sister, don't say anything else."
The more he kissed her, the more he couldn't bear it. It seemed that even if he crushed Qiao Tang to pieces, he still couldn't get relief. He cried out in grievance, "Sister."
Qiao Tang felt uncomfortable because of his tickling. She bit her lips and stretched out a slender white hand in the darkness.
As soon as they made contact, she ignored Pei Chengjue's reaction, her heart was shocked, and she regretted provoking Pei Chengjue very much. Why was he like this... Isn't he not yet an adult?
However, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. She gritted her teeth and measured the size. When she had made up her mind and was about to withdraw her hand, her wrist was instantly pressed down and she could no longer let go.
The panting in the gauze tent became heavier and heavier.
After a long time, Qiao Tang withdrew his numb wrist, was held in Pei Chengjue's arms, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Qiao Tang was completely distracted by worry. It was Nanny Wang who asked worriedly, "But what went wrong last night?"
Qiao Tang felt like crying but had no tears. Nothing went wrong last night, but that might not be the case in the future.
"Miss, please tell me what happened?" Nanny Wang hugged her distressedly. She hurriedly shook her head, "Nothing. Your Majesty and I had something to talk about last night, and we talked for a long time. Don't worry, Nanny."
Nanny Wang immediately laughed, "So you were talking about something. I was wondering why there was no movement all night."
Seeing that she had misunderstood the previous night again, Qiao Tang didn't want to say anything more. Instead, she ordered a palace maid to invite Cheng Ying over. After a brief whisper, a flicker of approval crossed her eyes. Then, she used her hands to indicate the measurements. The usually calm and composed Cheng Ying frowned sharply, her gaze filled with pity.
Qiao Tang pretended to look back naturally.
So pity turned into admiration. Qiao Tang didn't know what she was thinking. She whispered a few instructions in despair, and Cheng Ying agreed to them one by one.
When leaving, Cheng Ying couldn't help but tell Qiao Tang that he must be careful in the process to avoid hurting himself.
When Qiao Tang heard this, he wanted to die.
At night, Pei Chengjue came to bother her again, stroking her lips with his fingertips, his eyes deep. Qiao Tang knew what he wanted. She was so tired that her hands were sore. She thought that if he came again tomorrow, this hand would be broken.
Fortunately, Pei Chengjue had to patrol the spring hunting grounds and deal with state affairs, so he was so busy that he had no time to sleep. He had not returned to Taiji Palace for several days, so she had a chance to rest.
At the same time, somehow, she began to hope to leave the palace again, probably because she felt that Pei Chengjue was the emperor and matters of love were too trivial for him.
Even though Pei Chengjue usually clings to her closely, he can't take care of her when he is busy. It can be seen that Pei Chengjue's mind is full of state affairs.
As for her, perhaps she has a small place in Pei Chengjue's heart. As time goes by, this small place may not belong to her anymore, and then she can leave the palace.
The more Qiao Tang thought about it, the happier he became, and he rested well for a few days.
One day, Qiao Tang received a letter from Wei Ruomei, saying that she had discovered a newly opened restaurant that made delicious dim sum, and asked if she could go out of the palace to try the dim sum.
Qiao Tang wanted to go out, but without Pei Chengjue's order, she couldn't even leave Taiji Palace, so she had no choice but to refuse Wei Ruomei.
Unexpectedly, Wei Ruomei came up with a plan. She brought a tall maid into the palace, dressed up Qiao Tang as a maid, deceived the palace servants on duty, and took Qiao Tang out of the palace.
Qiao Tang took Mu Li out of the carriage and followed Wei Ruomei into the restaurant. When they sat down in the private room on the second floor, they felt something was wrong.
Wei Ruomei usually talks non-stop, chirping like a bird, but today she was much quieter, and her face looked a little paler, as if she was uneasy.
Qiao Tang thought for a moment, understood the reason, and soothed her softly, "Don't be afraid. You did this to bring me some snacks. Even if His Majesty finds out, I'm here, and His Majesty will definitely not make things difficult for you."
Wei Ruomei's lips curled up, no longer cute and innocent, but a forced smile, "Thank you, Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao, please eat quickly."
She stood up and untied Mu Li for Qiao Tang. When she put Mu Li away, she glanced at the second floor of the inn opposite several times. She did not sit down, but stood there motionless.
Qiao Tang was suspicious, unsure if Wei Ruomei was truly afraid Pei Chengjue would discover something was wrong or if it was for some other reason. He quickly tasted a few bites of the snacks and stood up, saying to Dai Muli, "It's indeed delicious, but unfortunately I can't eat much. Why don't we go back?"
Wei Ruomei suddenly came back to her senses, nodded randomly, and hurriedly took her out of the restaurant.
Qiao Tang approached the carriage and lifted the curtain himself. He took a peek inside the carriage, his face filled with shock. His hand trembled, and the curtain fell down again.
She turned around suddenly and smiled at Wei Ruomei. Wei Ruomei suddenly trembled, her eyes widened, she looked behind her in fear, and burst into tears.
Qiao Tang closed her eyes and she also wanted to cry.
But she couldn't just watch Wei Ruomei cry more and more pitifully, so she opened her eyes and smiled softly, "Don't be afraid, trust your sister Qiao, the snacks are delicious, go home quickly."
Wei Ruomei cried and tried to get closer, but was suddenly frightened and ran away, and ran into the inn opposite the teahouse!
Qiao Tang laughed. The child was so scared that he didn't even know the way.
In a blink of an eye, she pinched her palm hard, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes due to the pain, and then she turned around and got into the carriage.
As soon as the curtain was lowered, the light inside the car dimmed, and she couldn't sit down. A long arm pinched her waist and pressed her heavily into a broad and warm embrace.
"Sister, you are so brave that you dare to leave the palace without my knowledge."
As Pei Chengjue's deep voice rang out, Qiao Tang's tears fell in time, and her voice was filled with grievance, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many days, and you want to be mean to me as soon as you see me?"
Almost instantly, the strength of his arms weakened, his embrace softened, and his voice was full of pity, "Sister, don't cry."
