Chapter 101 More Favor
That night, the moonlight was hazy and the windows were closed.
There were charcoal braziers placed at all four corners of Jinxiu Pavilion, which kept the whole house warm.
Liu Zheng massaged Liu Yuetang's shoulders and recalled what happened during the day. She asked, "My lady, the eldest prince wanted to raise her under your wing today. Why didn't you agree?"
Although Liu Yuetang's current position does not allow her to raise children, Liu Zheng believes that as long as the eldest prince is willing to ask for it, and considering the emperor's favor towards the young lady today, he will definitely agree.
Liu Yuetang said softly, "I'm afraid of raising a tiger that will cause trouble."
"Think about it, his mother died because of me. Although the emperor and the nanny beside him told him that I was the victim and his mother deserved it, he doesn't have a lot of hatred towards me. But this doesn't mean that he won't have it when he grows up."
"If I raise him as my own, I'll be constantly worried, afraid that he'll seek revenge for his mother one day. Wouldn't that be like raising an ungrateful person?"
Liu Zheng's eyes showed regret: "I just feel it's a pity. The eldest prince is the eldest son, and he will surely inherit the throne."
"Do you think raising a child is so easy? He is the Emperor's eldest son. Even if the Emperor agrees to let me raise him, the Empress will not agree, Concubine Yu will not agree, and Grand Tutor Yu will definitely not agree. As a grandfather, he will naturally choose the most noble adoptive mother for his grandson."
"Besides, even if I really raise the eldest prince and he inherits the throne one day, can I really become the empress dowager? You are too naive."
Liu Zheng lowered her head sadly, and a long sigh silently came out of her throat.
"It's true that I thought it was too simple."
Liu Yuetang knew from the beginning that it was impossible for the eldest prince to be kept by her side.
That's why she spoke up for the Queen, as a way of giving her face. It also further confirmed her kind-hearted character in front of Xiao Heng.
Thinking about it, she yawned tiredly and gradually felt sleepy...
When Xiao Heng stepped into Jinxiu Pavilion, he deliberately did not ask anyone to inform them.
He handed the cloak to Zhou Defu who was standing beside him, and walked towards the inner hall.
In the inner hall, Liu Yuetang lay on the couch with her eyes closed, enjoying the palace maid beside her massaging her shoulders.
He walked forward slowly, and every time he smelled the quiet and refreshing air in the hall, he felt at peace and happy.
Liu Zheng, who was standing by, noticed Xiao Heng and was about to stand up to salute, but Xiao Heng waved him away.
After Liu Zheng stood up, Xiao Heng sat on the edge of the bed and put his hand on the woman's graceful shoulders.
Liu Yuetang's eyelashes trembled, and she felt a pair of large and strong hands on her shoulders.
She pretended to be ignorant, her eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Liu Zheng...be gentler."
Women, you have to go in when it’s time.
You have to retreat when it is time to retreat.
Rather than saying that this is an honor for the emperor, it is more like the boudoir joy for men and women.
Therefore, she must enjoy this honor.
Seeing that she hadn't noticed him yet, Xiao Heng became playful and slowly slid his hand down from her shoulder, caressing the soft and plump breast.
Liu Yuetang suddenly turned around, raised her arms and hooked them around his neck.
"The Emperor is teasing me."
Her slender waist hung in the air, like a willow branch, soft and graceful.
Xiao Heng put his arm around her waist, his gaze deep: "You knew it was me, but you pretended not to know?"
Liu Yuetang's eyes curved slightly, gentle and charming: "I am greedy, I want the emperor to rub me more."
"Oh?" Xiao Heng placed his large palm on the woman's hips.
"Do you need to rub this place?"
Liu Yuetang's beautiful face raised slightly, suppressing the low hum from the corner of her lips: "Your Majesty..."
Her delicate voice seemed to be trying to stop him, but also seemed to be teasing him.
Under the thin brocade clothes, his palms were burning hot, and wherever they touched, people felt soft.
Liu Yuetang was provoked by him and could not control her emotions. Her body trembled slightly and her eyes were confused and blurred.
"Tell me, do you want me to rub it?" He put his thin lips close to the woman's ear and gently stroked her earlobe with his lips.
Liu Yuetang bit her lower lip tightly, and the blush in the corners of her eyes was like that of a pure and charming fox.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Heng said in a deep voice: "Not speaking? That means I don't want it."
The moment his fingertips left, Liu Yuetang's delicate voice rang out: "I want it."
Xiao Heng curled the corners of his mouth, dark colors surged in his eyes, and he was completely out of control.
Following Liu Yuetang's three words, figures intertwined within the curtain, fingers clasped tightly, making love...
Afterwards, clothes were scattered all over the floor, and Liu Yuetang was lying on Xiao Heng's chest, which was heaving with breathing.
Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Yuetang's flushed cheeks, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He seldom indulges in such lust.
The woman in front of me is like a book. The more I read, the sleepier I feel.
She always manages to make herself happy both physically and mentally.
If so, it would be great if they could have a child.
Thinking of this, Xiao Heng slowly closed his eyes, and his arms around Liu Yuetang unconsciously tightened a little.
Since she has no children, give her more love.
Xiao Heng thought so...
Thus, throughout the entire month, although Concubine Zhao accompanied the emperor the most times, it was Liu Yuetang who slept with him the most among the Tong envoys.
However, Concubine Yu was only able to serve the emperor in bed twice and to have meals with him once.
She, who had always been favored by the emperor, was naturally unwilling to accept this.
"You are just a beauty who only cares about your looks! How dare you become so arrogant because of your favor and not take me seriously."
Yu Fei slapped the table, causing the teacups to clink.
Ruolan shuddered and said quickly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. No matter how beautiful Concubine Xi is, she will eventually age..."
"Do you think I can wait until her beauty fades? I wish I could peel her skin right now to see if the Emperor still loves her."
"Empress..." Ruolan called softly.
"Isn't the young lady of the Situ family going to enter the palace? When she arrives, she will definitely take away the favor of Concubine Xi and Concubine Zhao."
Concubine Yu let out a slow breath, "Speaking of Situ Nanzhi, I haven't seen her for six years. I wonder if she's still as well-behaved and obedient as before."
The mistresses of the Situ and Ruan families grew up together, so they have always had private interactions.
Situ Nanzhi is four years younger than Concubine Yu.
Yufei still remembers that whenever her aunt came to her house, she would bring Nanzhi with her.
Nanzhi is very sweet-spoken and is loved by her parents. Even I can't dislike this well-behaved and sensible sister.
Before she entered the palace at the age of fifteen, Nanzhi was reluctant to part with her sisters and cried while hugging herself.
And now six years have passed, I am already twenty-one years old, and she is seventeen.
If she entered the palace to consolidate his favor, it would be a good idea.
He had been childless for many years. If she had a child and raised it under his lap, then she would be one step closer to becoming a noble concubine or queen.
However, it is still unknown what the emperor thinks, and whether he will agree to let Nanzhi enter the palace.
Thinking about it, Yu Fei decided to give it a try.
