Chapter 161 I will give you the next one
"Can the emperor also play the piano?" Liu Yuetang's face was full of surprise and joy.
Xiao Heng's slender fingertips gently touched the strings of the zither: "Although my zither skills are not heavenly, I have also been praised by my father. If Miaomiao has a song he likes, I can play it for you."
Liu Yuetang's eyes flickered, and she smiled sweetly, "Since I was little, I've heard that there's a song that's a divine song for men to admire women, but I've never heard a man play it."
Xiao Heng pondered for a moment: "Miaomiao is talking about the phoenix seeking the phoenix?"
Liu Yuetang nodded heavily: "That's right, the emperor is indeed smart, he knows what Miaomiao is thinking at once."
Xiao Heng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes gentle: "In this case, I will play the Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix for Miaomiao."
After saying this, he plucked the strings with his fingertips, and the melodious and clear sound slowly flowed out.
Liu Yuetang sat beside him, supporting her chin with one hand and listening quietly.
The candlelight made Xiao Heng's face turn slightly red, fading the aloofness and severity of the day.
When he plays the guqin, he is like the spring breeze and the morning moon, gentle as jade.
Perhaps feeling the deep gaze of the woman beside him, Xiao Heng turned around, and their eyes met. The woman smiled warmly.
Xiao Heng turned his head, fixed his gaze on the strings, and opened his thin lips slightly:
There is a beautiful woman, I will never forget her once I see her.
If I don't see you for a day, I miss you like crazy.
The phoenix soars high in the sky, and the four seas seek it.
Unfortunately, the beauty is not at the east wall.
…
A deep voice reached his ears, and Liu Yuetang was in a trance.
In fact, compared to Feng Qiu Huang, she prefers Zhuo Wenjun's Bai Tou Yin.
She admired a woman who dared to love and hate.
But Liu Yuetang knew that she couldn't mention it at all, because that was the Achilles' heel of the man in front of her.
When he finished speaking, the song also ended.
Liu Yuetang clapped her hands: "I didn't know that the emperor's zither skills were so superb."
Xiao Heng pulled her into his arms, and Liu Yuetang fell on his legs, looking up at Xiao Heng with her bright almond-shaped eyes.
She touched the alluring mole under Liu Yuetang's eyes and said, "Since I have given you a phoenix to seek a phoenix, what should Miaomiao give me in return?"
Liu Yuetang opened her red lips slightly, wanting to invite someone to kiss her: "My gifts are all here."
After saying that, she took Xiao Heng's thumb and rubbed it on her delicate and tempting lips.
"Your Majesty, do you understand what I said?"
At this moment, her beautiful eyes were full of charm and coquettishness, which made Xiao Heng's heart burn with desire.
"I have to experience it myself to feel it."
So, he lowered his head and kissed Liu Yuetang's lips with rapid breathing.
Liu Yuetang raised her hand and hooked it around his neck, her delicate hands gently roaming on his back.
Xiao Heng's kiss was a little different from the past.
There is tenderness in the lingering affection, and there is warmth in the gentleness.
In the past, Xiao Heng would just lightly kiss her lips and then let go of her neck and behind her ears.
I have never smelled a kiss that lasted so long before, and I almost suffocated.
After a long time, he let go of Liu Yuetang's bright red lips.
His big hands were on her waist, and he was about to untie her belt, but he was held down by her soft and boneless hands.
Liu Yuetang whispered, "Your Majesty, I am having my period."
Desire flickered in Xiao Heng's eyes, like a ball of fire that would not stop until it was extinguished by the iceberg.
"I don't care."
"You must put out the fire you started yourself."
Liu Yuetang looked up at him and said, "Then, Your Majesty, how do I put it out for you?"
Xiao Heng looked at her bright and seductive lips and slowly cleared his throat.
He raised his fingertips and placed them between her lips: "Here."
****** (Civilized and Harmonious)
“It’s not fair!”
After turning off the engine, Liu Yuetang pouted her extremely beautiful lips, turned sideways with a coquettish look, as if she was angry.
She rarely acted like this, acting even more like a little girl than usual, which made Xiao Heng frown and put his arms around her waist.
"What's unfair about that?"
"It's always me who suffers. Your Majesty only knows how to bully me."
Xiao Heng placed his lips on her neck and said with a smile, "Then I'll give it to you next time, okay?"
"Then how does the emperor supply me?" Liu Yuetang looked back at him.
Xiao Heng placed her hand in his palm, rubbed it lightly with his fingertips, and then pointed at his lips.
"One for two, okay?"
Liu Yuetang's ears, half covered by her long hair, suddenly turned red, and she looked indescribably charming.
*****
The next day, Yaohua Palace.
Concubine Zhao was sitting on the chaise longue and embroidering.
The slender, cold needles continued to sew exquisite patterns on the brocade.
Xia Ying came in from outside with a solemn expression. She approached Concubine Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, I just heard a piece of news that Concubine Su is very likely pregnant with a prince, and that the Emperor and the Empress have decided to give the child to Concubine Xi to raise."
Zhao Fei's hand trembled, and the sharp needle pierced her finger, and bright red blood oozed out instantly.
Madam Kong was startled: "My Lady, you are bleeding."
She quickly wrapped Concubine Zhao's hand with a handkerchief.
Concubine Zhao felt no pain at all and stared at Xia Ying in amazement: "Is this news true?"
"A few days ago, Concubine Xi and Concubine Su went to pay their respects to the Empress together. The Emperor was also in Weiyang Palace at the time. I think... they were discussing this matter."
Concubine Zhao pulled a sad smile from the corner of her mouth: "The emperor really dotes on her."
"I have been in the palace for seven years and have not left anything, nor have I seen the Emperor treat me so well."
Her nose felt sore and her eyes turned red immediately.
Madam Kong quickly advised, "Your Majesty, isn't Concubine Xi infertile? That's why the Emperor allowed her to raise Concubine Su's child. Your Majesty is still young, and you will surely be able to bear a son for the Emperor in the future."
Concubine Zhao took a deep breath and calmed her expression. But she saw Xia Ying seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What else?"
Xia Ying hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out: "I also heard them say... that if Xipin gave birth to a prince, then the emperor would make her a concubine."
Concubine Zhao's eyes were shocked and she clenched her palms: "Nonsense!"
"She has only been in the palace for two years, how could she possibly be crowned a concubine?"
"If you hear such rumors again, send him to the Ministry of Punishment."
Xia Ying nodded quickly: "Yes, the emperor dotes on you so much, how could he allow a concubine who has only been in the palace for two years to be on the same level as you."
"She is not worthy to be on equal footing with me!"
Concubine Zhao's cold eyes darkened, but she felt a little unsure in her heart.
If Xiao Heng could make her a concubine in two years, he might be able to make her a consort in three years.
Her father is now a fourth-rank official. If he has another royal heir, given Xiao Heng's love for her, he might really promote her to be a concubine.
Concubine Zhao looked out the window with a heavy heart. She didn't know when the sky had turned blue and light rain began to fall.
The raindrops seemed to pass through my heart coldly.
Suddenly, she remembered what day it was. She turned to look at Madam Kong and said, "Madam, what day is it today?"
Madam Kong pondered and said, "Today is June 20th..."
Concubine Zhao suddenly woke up: "Today is the anniversary of Empress Wen Yi's death."
As she spoke, she quickly stood up and said, "Get an umbrella. I want to go and pay my respects to my aunt."
