Chapter 172 I’m Going to Deal with You
Yueli slept soundly until the afternoon before waking up.
She couldn't remember how many times they had made love last night. She only knew that after returning from the dark room next to the Golden Throne Hall, they entangled for a long time on the brightly lit dragon bed. She was carried to the bathhouse at the back, feeling powerless. She vaguely felt someone washing her body.
Later, the man picked her up and brought her back to the hall. He fed her a few glasses of water at the table, then pressed her down on the cold table and assaulted her again...
I don’t know how long it took, but it seemed like dawn had just begun, and the noise in the hall gradually died down.
Yueli raised her hand with difficulty and rubbed her eyes. There were red marks on her arms. She wanted to turn over, but she had no strength. Her lower abdomen hurt a little, so Yueli slowly curled up.
"Miss, are you awake?" Nian Xia heard a slight noise in the outer hall and came in to check. She saw Yue Li curled up in a small ball with her back to her.
Yueli was startled. She didn't expect there was someone in the room, so she quickly turned around.
Seeing that she was awake, Nian Xia said, "Miss, are you going to get up? It's almost noon now."
So late?
Yue Li sat up holding the quilt, her exposed shoulders and neck were covered with red marks. Nian Xia caught a glimpse of it and quickly lowered her eyes in embarrassment, her earlobes a little red.
"He...where is His Majesty?" Yue Li touched the place beside her, it was cold, and it seemed that the person had been gone for a long time.
"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Your Majesty will lead all civil and military officials to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices to the ancestors. He will probably not be back until tomorrow at the earliest."
Yue Li felt a little disappointed. They had been so affectionate last night, but when she woke up she couldn't see him anymore.
Nian Xia noticed that she was in a bad mood. Unsure of her new master's temperament, she asked cautiously, "Young lady, are you going to get up for dinner? His Majesty has ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare your favorite food. If you are hungry, I will bring you food right away."
Yueli hummed and slowly moved off the bed.
She almost fell down as her feet touched the ground, but Nian Xia quickly caught her.
Yueli's pink little face turned red, and she cursed He Yanchen in her heart in frustration.
Isn’t he the emperor? Doesn’t he have three thousand beauties in his harem?
Why do you act like a young boy who has never seen a woman?
Fortunately, Nianxia was extremely professional and didn't show any expression at all. She just helped Yueli to wash up.
The palace maids were very efficient. It was the first time Yueli had been served and groomed like this. She didn't even have to move her hands as they cleaned her up perfectly.
When she came out, the table was already filled with food. Yueli took a quick look and saw that they were all her favorite sweet and sour dishes.
They had only dined together twice, but he already knew her preferences by heart.
"Miss, have a bowl of porridge first. You haven't eaten anything this morning. Be careful that your spleen and stomach can't handle it."
Yueli took a bite of the porridge. It looked ordinary, but it tasted very sweet and smooth. After eating half a bowl, her stomach felt warm and comfortable.
Life in the palace is indeed incomparable to that outside.
Yueli was eating when she suddenly remembered something: "Sister Nianxia?"
Nian Xia hurriedly said, "Young lady, please just call me by my name. I really can't bear to be called sister."
"Okay." Yueli said, "I have a maid in the Xiao Mansion. Can you bring her into the palace?"
Feilan was the maid she bought. If her affair with He Yanchen was exposed, the Xiao family would definitely dislike Feilan, so she had to keep Feilan by her side.
Nian Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady, I will do it later."
Yueli felt relieved now.
Nianxia moved quickly, and Feilan was standing in front of her in the evening.
That night, Yueli slept alone on the large dragon bed. On the pillow was the ambergris that belonged to that man alone. Yueli hugged his pillow and fell asleep unknowingly.
The next day she played in the Linde Hall during the day. In the evening, He Yanchen had not returned yet. Nianxia said that it was normal for him to be away for three to five days to worship his ancestors, and he might not be back for another two days.
Yueli was not in a good mood, so Nianxia suggested, "There's a bathhouse in the back, it's filled with hot spring water from outside the palace. Would you like to try it, young lady?"
Yueli's eyes lit up: "Okay."
After passing through a long corridor, you can see the bathing pool of Linde Hall. It is filled with mist and steam. The palace maids have sprinkled dried flower petals and fragrant dew in it. There are exquisite rockery around it, with light gauze hanging low, and bright plum blossoms are faintly visible.
Yueli took off her clothes and stepped into the pool. The warm water wrapped around her, and the fatigue in her body seemed to gradually disappear.
Yueli leaned against the wall of the pool, with the sound of insects and birds chirping in her ears. Nianxia massaged her shoulders. She closed her eyes comfortably, feeling a little drowsy.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and a series of footsteps, neither light nor heavy, were heard outside the bathtub.
Nian Xia subconsciously turned around and saw a bright yellow figure appear in her sight.
She was about to greet him when she saw the man wave his hand.
Nian Xia retreated quietly.
He Yanchen squatted on one knee behind Yue Li, took her shoulders in his big hands and kneaded them slowly.
Yueli woke up suddenly and turned around quickly.
"His Majesty?"
The man undid his dragon robe and said with a smile, "You found out so quickly?"
Yue Li frowned slightly. "Your Majesty's hands are certainly different from Nian Xia's. You have calluses on your hands, and they hurt."
"Really?" He Yanchen disagreed. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so of course he had calluses.
In a flash he took off his clothes and entered the bathtub.
Seeing that he was so unreserved, Yueli quickly covered her eyes with her hands, but she couldn't help but secretly reveal a crack, and admired his tall figure with a blushing face.
"If you want to see it, then see it. I'm not as stingy as you." He Yanchen pulled her hand down with a smile.
The ripples of water couldn't hide the white and roundness of Yueli's chest. She looked up at the man with her bright almond-shaped eyes: "Nianxia said that His Majesty might not come back today."
"I was thinking of you, so of course I rushed back as fast as I could." He Yanchen put his arms around her waist and lowered his head to peck her lightly on the lips.
Yueli even curled up her toes, and she thought shamefully that she really liked hearing these sweet words.
But Xiao Mingcheng used to be a calm and self-controlled person. He was always serious and would never say these words to her.
"What are you thinking about?" He Yanchen's eyes turned dangerous, and he pinched her waist threateningly. "If you dare to think about others in front of me, I will punish you."
Yueli blinked and said innocently, "How do we clean it up?"
Although she tried her best to look scared, her eyes could not hide her anticipation.
He Yanchen smiled, suddenly turned her around, and pressed her against the pool wall.
This bathing pool is in the pavilion, with only gauze on all sides, which is equivalent to being in an open-air place. It is not made of white jade, but made of stone to imitate natural hot springs. The pool wall is not smooth, and the small gravel hurts Yueli's delicate skin.
Yueli couldn't see the person behind her, and when her vision was impaired, the feeling in other places became more obvious.
She felt He Yanchen's fingertips slowly moving down her spine, and his other hand grasped her wrists. He casually pulled over a small bellyband scattered by the pool and tied her hands.
The man's hot, hard chest pressed against her back, his warm breath beside her ear:
"I'm going to deal with you."
