Chapter 150 Previous Life (Part 2)
He Yanchen: “…”
Few people could leave him speechless.
Yueli was the first one.
He stretched out his hand and pulled her up. The bellyband hanging around her neck was about to fall off, and the small red fruit on her fair and tender skin was faintly visible. He Yanchen frowned: "I didn't say I wanted to see him."
"Your Majesty, I'm not here." Yueli finally breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped her arms around his neck, and asked shyly and expectantly, "Then...shall we continue?"
He Yanchen was speechless again.
If it were someone else, they would have to pretend to be virtuous and let herself meet those ministers, but the person in front of her didn't know whether she didn't understand these things or was a little stupid, she didn't seem to worry at all about what would be said about her if people knew that she was hanging out with her but not meeting the court officials.
He Yanchen tapped her waist and asked, "Do you know who's outside?"
Yueli blinked, she was not deaf: "Prime Minister Wei."
"The palace people outside saw you come in just now. If I am with you and I don't see him, when you go out later, people will say you are a seductress." He Yanchen slowly hooked her hair, twisting it around his fingertips and playing with it, saying in a playful tone, "Are you scared?"
Yueli didn't understand why she should be afraid.
Just say it, what can a few words do to her?
In the past ten years in Chunfeng Pavilion, she has heard so many insults like "fox charmer" and "vixen" that she no longer cares about them.
Yue Li said innocently, "But...but didn't Eunuch Ji bring me to the palace to serve His Majesty?"
"I just want to make His Majesty happy."
When Ji Ming picked her up, he told her He Yanchen's identity and asked her to serve the emperor well. He did not say whether he had redeemed her or whether he wanted her to enter the palace as a queen.
But Yue Li never liked to bother herself with things in the future. At least she didn't have to serve that ugly General Xiao.
No matter whether He Yanchen wanted to have a brief romance with her in Jiangning or take her back to the palace, she only had to serve him well.
If it was the former, she would try her best to seduce him so that he would not want to leave her and try to get him to take her away.
If it’s the latter, that would be great!
She never has to go back to Chunfeng Pavilion again!
He Yanchen was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a low laugh.
He raised his hand to stroke the woman's smooth back and bit her earlobe: "You are really a wonderful person..."
That afternoon, He Yanchen did not meet Wei Chengdong or any other court officials. He spent the entire afternoon hanging out with Yue Li.
He could sense Yueli's thoughts. She didn't want to go back to Chunfeng Pavilion and wanted him to take her away.
But He Yanchen just didn't say a word. He just watched her awkwardly circling around him all day, smiling sweetly at him and trying to please him in every way, as if her whole heart was devoted to him.
He Yanchen enjoyed this kind of trust for the first time, as if he was everything to her.
In early September, the Holy Emperor will return to the palace.
Yueli became visibly panicked, and even lost her focus during lovemaking at night.
He Yanchen exerted force from his body, and the woman screamed uncontrollably and hugged his neck tightly.
"What are you thinking about?"
The man spoke casually, turning over so that she could sit astride him.
Yueli looked at his handsome face, her eyes full of confusion.
He Yanchen didn't rush her. He remembered what he said: no good things in this world would come to her on their own. She should just say what she wanted.
"Your Majesty..." Yue Li finally began to sob and hugged his waist tightly, "Is Your Majesty going to leave Jiangning?"
"Your Majesty, can you take me with you? I have already served Your Majesty and do not want to serve anyone else... Your Majesty..."
She cried with great grievance, tears falling in big drops, as if there was an unfaithful man in front of her who was going to abandon her.
He Yanchen touched her cold cheek and asked, "Want to go back to the palace with me?"
"Yeah!" Yue Li was no longer shy. If she didn't tell him now, what if he really abandoned her?
She hugged him with tears in her eyes, her round eyes full of fear, just like a stray kitten afraid of being abandoned again.
He Yanchen smiled. He really liked her like this.
Life and death depend on his thoughts, and he can only cling to the big tree like a dodder.
From childhood to adulthood, he was abandoned by others.
But now, he can also decide whether to abandon someone.
He Yanchen brought Yueli back to the palace and conferred upon her the title of a fifth-rank beauty.
After returning from the southern tour, there were many things in the court waiting for him to deal with, and He Yanchen had not entered the harem for some time.
As soon as I returned to Linde Hall that day, I heard what seemed to be crying outside.
Having slept in the same bed with her for nearly two months, He Yanchen loved to hear her sobbing in bed, but never had she cried as sadly as now.
"What's going on?"
Ji Ming hurried in to report, "Your Majesty, it's Lady Yue. She said she was bullied and wants to ask Your Majesty for help."
He Yanchen became interested: "Let her in."
As soon as the palace door opened, a pink shadow threw itself into his arms.
"Your Majesty!" Yue Li sobbed and hid in his arms. Before he could ask, she cried, "I don't like the palace at all. I like being in Jiangning, when Your Majesty only has me."
He Yanchen subconsciously stroked her back. He had heard many words expressing admiration, but the women in the palace all liked to pretend to be virtuous. He had never heard such words that wanted to monopolize him.
"Who bullied you?"
Yueli sobbed, her thin shoulders heaving uncontrollably. "It was Concubine Zheng. She scolded me, and I couldn't stand it, so I pushed her. She said she was going to complain to the Empress and have her spank me!"
"Your Majesty, please save me, I don't want to be beaten with a stick..."
He Yanchen understood.
She pushed Concubine Zheng and was afraid of being punished by the Queen, so she came to him to complain first.
He is not stupid, and he knows to seek support from me.
"Who gave you the courage to come to me and complain?" He Yanchen teased her deliberately, "The Queen is in charge of all matters in the harem. I don't want to get involved."
The thin arms around her waist suddenly tightened. The woman's eyes and nose were red, and she raised her head pitifully: "But I am your Majesty's woman, and your Majesty is my husband. This is not the harem's business, it's your Majesty's business. Who else can I turn to if not your Majesty?"
After hearing this, He Yanchen felt even better.
So he helped her deal with the matter and punished Concubine Zheng.
He made no secret of his preference for Yue Li. He wanted all the harem to dislike her so that she would focus all her attention on him.
After all, she would die without me.
After what happened that day, He Yanchen remembered something.
"I have thought of a title for you."
He picked up the pen and wrote a word on the paper.
Yueli tilted her head to look at it, then softly said, "Yu."
"Hmm, the word 'Yu'."
"What do you mean?" Yueli asked him curiously.
He Yanchen didn't say anything.
Yu means treasure.
