Chapter 94 Chapter 94 This sneaky feeling...
Zhao Qingyi received the gift on the second night. Tan Yue opened it carefully and found that it contained an exquisite bow and a light red skirt.
What a strange gift.
Tan Yue began to check the list, trying to see who sent it, but she couldn't find anything.
It happened that Mrs. Meng came to visit her daughter and was chatting with Zhao Qingyi in the room. When she heard the maid's puzzled voice, she went over to take a look and her face suddenly darkened.
Although Meng was a woman, she came from a royal merchant family and was well-informed. She recognized the bow at a glance. It was a Western style. However, what made her most angry was the dress.
In some small countries in the Western Regions, there is an unwritten rule that the concubine who enters the house first will have to embroider a wedding dress for the mistress in the future. The other party first gave Zhao Qingyi a bow to prove her identity, and then attached this light red dress, which was a naked provocation. Is she waiting for Zhao Qingyi to give her a bright red wedding dress in return in the future?
He really comes with bad intentions.
Meng explained the situation clearly in a few words, and Qiao Yue slammed the table in anger, "This princess is so shameless! This matter must be reported to His Majesty!"
"Wait a minute," Meng stopped her. "Provocation is secondary. As far as I know, the Yue Ling envoy will arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow, but this princess has arrived early and there's been no news. Who knows what else she's planning to do?"
The most urgent task is to deliver this important message.
Zhao Qingyi felt that with Chu Yuanhe's cautiousness, the princess would probably be stared at by countless eyes the moment she stepped into Shangjing. However, she still followed Meng's words and said, "My daughter will enter the palace now."
Her temper is getting worse and worse. She was provoked by the princess for no reason, and she has to find the culprit to vent her anger.
When Chu Yuanhe learned that Zhao Qingyi had entered the palace late at night, all his fatigue from the day was swept away, and he became more energetic. He urged Fugui to bring the person over quickly.
It had been two whole days since he last saw his friend Banban. They say that one day without seeing each other feels like three years, and it had been six years since he last saw her. He missed her terribly.
When Zhao Qingyi entered the palace, the palace maids retreated on their own accord. As soon as they left, she went over to Chu Yuanhe without any hesitation, pressed his shoulders, and bit his lips.
The force was so strong that it instantly bit his lip, and the sweet and fishy smell of blood spread instantly.
Chu Yuanhe didn't even frown, still smiling, "What injustice did you suffer?"
"How dare you ask? Didn't you say you could handle it? How come I received a gift from Princess Yin Yue?" Zhao Qingyi was angry, her almond-shaped eyes widened like autumn pupils.
Chu Yuanhe said "Oh" meaningfully. He had just received the news. "Just burn that unlucky thing. If you don't like her, just ignore her."
"The day after tomorrow, the envoys will come to the palace to pay their respects. If they propose a marriage alliance, what will you do?"
Zhao Qingyi was really anxious. She didn't know if it was time for her period these days. Her temper was extremely unstable and she would get angry at the slightest thing. This had never happened before. If it were before, she would not care about such a small matter.
"Absolutely not." Chu Yuanhe raised his hand and swore solemnly. He paused, his eyes becoming dark. "...Don't you know whether I will marry the princess?"
His question had a deeper meaning.
Zhao Qingyi was stunned. The other party just met her gaze directly, as if intentionally guiding her to remember something.
Chu Yuanhe stared at her for a long while. Seeing that she was still confused, his relaxed brows gradually furrowed and he said seriously, "It seems that in my previous life, you really didn't care about me at all."
In her previous life, Zhao Qingyi had at least lived to be thirty-six years old. Didn't she know whether he, the emperor, had any women? Didn't she know whether he had married a princess?
Zhao Qingyi's breath was choked.
She seemed to have never talked about her rebirth.
But he actually knew about it? When did it happen?
But Zhao Qingyi immediately realized that Chu Yuanhe was changing the subject again!
She held the man's face in her hands and said, "Don't talk about other things."
Chu Yuanhe raised his hands high, "Okay, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you."
Chu Yuanhe didn't dare to hide anything from her, so he told her his plan. He sent people to check and found out that Princess Yinyue liked handsome men, but she preferred masculine ones. He felt that there was someone in the royal family who was more suitable than him.
He touched his face again and said, "I am good-looking, but I only have the air of an emperor. Manliness is something that happens on the couch. No one else can see it except you..."
Zhao Qingyi was in no mood to flirt with him and was half-believing and half-doubting what he said.
Could the person Chu Yuanhe was thinking of be the unshaven Prince of Pingxi?
His appearance was indeed rough, and he barely had some obvious masculinity, but... Princess Yin Yue liked handsome men, and Chu Tianba didn't seem to fit that description at all.
Chu Yuanhe raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Whether he likes it or not, he will know after trying it. He has already arranged for Chu Tianba to come out to greet the envoy the next morning.
People are always prejudiced. As long as Princess Yin Yue takes a liking to Chu Tianba first, he will just agree to the marriage. If she doesn't, it doesn't matter. After all, he refused the marriage in the previous life, which made King Yue Ling very ashamed and angry. As a result, in the same year, he led his troops to teach Yue Ling a lesson.
Not only did they fail to borrow troops from Daliang, but they were also defeated by Daliang and almost lost their country. Fortunately, Daliang's purpose was to trade with the enemy and did not want to kill them all.
Faced with the Daliang Emperor's aggressive attitude, Yue Ling Khan cried and agreed...
Therefore, everything comes from absolute strength. Chu Yuanhe is confident that he will not be coerced by anyone, and there is always more than one way to achieve his goal.
But seeing Zhao Qingyi's look of being faced with a formidable enemy, Chu Yuanhe was secretly unhappy. This meant that Zhao Qingyi didn't care about him at all in her previous life. If Zhao Qingyi had cared about him and understood him, she wouldn't have acted like this.
What is the Yueling Kingdom? Can it make her so anxious?
Chu Yuanhe's arms around Zhao Qingyi's slender waist instantly changed positions. He pressed Zhao Qingyi down on the dragon chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, "In your previous life...did you really never care about me?"
When she met his eyes, Zhao Qingyi knew that she couldn't escape this topic tonight.
"I……"
She opened her mouth. How could she explain this?
She really didn't care about Chu Yuanhe in her previous life. She didn't know that the Prince of Pingxi who saved her life in the northwest was him, and she didn't know that this man had been coveting her for a long time.
But to be honest, these words were too heartbreaking. Zhao Qingyi couldn't bear to hurt him, so she lowered her eyes and pretended to be sad and lonely, "At this time in my previous life... I was in mourning for my father and mother..."
At that time, she had lost her loved ones and became an orphan from a noble lady overnight. She was also deeply trapped in the quagmire of the Li family and could not extricate herself. Who would care who the current emperor married?
Now it was Chu Yuanhe's turn to be at a loss. He really deserved to be blamed for bringing up things that were not relevant to the topic.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said those words to hurt you." Chu Yuanhe hugged her and comforted her softly.
Zhao Qingyi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her past life had become a thing of the past, and the pain was gradually healing in the present. She only felt satisfied, and the sadness just now was just pretended.
As a result, Chu Yuanhe was fooled, and his look of remorse and regret was really funny.
After a moment of stunned silence, the man realized that he had been teased, and the two of them started to quarrel again.
Zhao Qingyi hurriedly dodged, and after running two steps, she was picked up by the man and fell into the bed curtain together.
Chu Yuanhe used his hands and feet to trap her, and said with a playful smile, "This is the second time that Panpan has come to the palace to look for me. Let me see what surprises are hidden under her clothes."
Zhao Qingyi agreed to be his queen, and the two returned to their former love. They knew each other's desires very well, and they were bound to get entangled when they met.
It was just that Chu Yuanhe was teasing her on purpose. He took the opportunity of undressing to tickle the soft flesh on her waist from time to time. Every time Zhao Qingyi was tickled, she would laugh.
Laughing and panting, "It's itchy, take your hand away."
Chu Yuanhe seemed to have discovered something interesting and tickled her everywhere. He found that Zhao Qingyi was ticklish not only on her waist but also on the soles of her feet, and she would laugh non-stop whenever he tickled her.
A woman's breathless laughter was heard from the Zichen Hall, as clear and sweet as a silver bell.
It was a laugh Chu Yuanhe had never heard before, joyful and cheerful, without any concealment. Gradually, a smile appeared in his eyes, and an inexplicable sense of accomplishment came over him.
He is indeed the most suitable person for Panma. Only with him can she see the unrestrained and lively her.
Zhao Qingyi laughed until her stomach hurt. She finally remembered to resist and kicked the man again. Her snow-white feet kicked into the man's heart.
Chu Yuanhe clamped her ankle, and with a little force, he dragged her under him, then took hold of her other ankle and wrapped it around his waist.
Zhao Qingyi suddenly stopped laughing, her little face flushed.
Chu Yuanhe looked down at her like this, the emotion in his eyes almost drowning.
"Do you want it?" he asked.
Zhao Qingyi was almost used to his false politeness, "...If I say no, will you stop?"
A playful smile appeared on the man's lips, and he said simply, "No."
He could also see through her false reserve.
As soon as he finished speaking, he forcefully broke in and leaned over to kiss her, swallowing all of her beautiful moans into his stomach.
It was still early, but the palace maids outside the palace had already quietly turned away those who came to seek an audience.
The eldest princess stood ten feet away from the Purple Palace. When she heard the faint movement in the bedroom, she was shocked and couldn't help but teasingly said, "My brother, this method..."
She coughed lightly and handed the prepared list to Fugui. She had arranged all the matters related to receiving the Yue Ling envoy. She only needed her brother to review it. Then she would happily go back to find her husband.
Half an hour later, Chu Yuanhe called someone in to serve and help Zhao Qingyi to redo her makeup, preparing to send her back.
Recently, due to the arrival of Yue Ling's envoy, countless ministers have been entering and leaving the palace. It would be easy to be discovered if Zhao Qingyi stayed overnight, and it would be bad for her reputation if the news got out, so she was relatively restrained tonight.
Zhao Qingyi was so tired that she was out of breath. Chu Yuanhe personally carried her into the sedan chair. When they parted, he squeezed into the narrow sedan chair again, wanting to be intimate with her again.
"If you keep making noise, it will be dawn..." Zhao Qingyi pressed her small hand against his chest, her almond-shaped eyes, like distant mountains shrouded in mist, still filled with spring tears.
She also felt a little reluctant to leave, but the timing did not allow it.
Chu Yuanhe's throat tightened, "Why are you still looking at me like that..."
“…”
Zhao Qingyi liked the way he was obsessed with her, but why did these words sound... weird?
It's obviously his problem!
Zhao Qingyi glared at him, lifted her sore legs, kicked him with her toes, and urged him to walk faster. She didn't want to have anything to do with him in the sedan chair, it would be so embarrassing in front of everyone.
Chu Yuanhe lowered his eyes to look at her slightly swaying toes, and became inexplicably excited again, his peach blossom eyes hidden in the darkness sparkling.
This sneaky feeling...it really makes people love and hate it.
