Chapter 181 Writing a Letter
Yueli pursed her lips guiltily and held the note tighter with her fingers.
He Yanchen sat down slowly in the seat where she had just sat. Yue Li quickly turned around to face him, her eyes wandering, and it was obvious that she was doing something bad.
"I'm practicing calligraphy..." Yueli's voice gradually faded. "Do you believe it?"
The man glanced at the inkstones, trays, and brushes scattered randomly on the table, clearly unconvinced.
Normally when she was asked to practice calligraphy, she could always come up with eight hundred excuses to refuse, but now she has the leisure to do so when he is not around?
He Yanchen glanced at her and tapped the table with his fingers: "Will you hand it over yourself or let me investigate?"
"If you hand it over yourself, I will show leniency because of your honesty." He smiled sinisterly. "If I find out, concealing it will be a more serious crime. I will have to think carefully about how to deal with you."
When Yueli heard this, she instinctively handed over the note.
She closed her eyes and held out her hand as if ready to die: "I just want to write a letter...that's all..."
He Yanchen took it and glanced at it expressionlessly.
The handwriting was not hers, but it was clearly addressed to Xiao Mingcheng. There was nothing ambiguous in the words, but rather a sense of determination and impatience.
A smile flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to his expressionless look.
Yueli closed her eyes and waited for the judgment. She felt that writing a letter to a man other than her was a bit too much. If He Yanchen wrote a letter to another woman, Yueli felt that she would make a big fuss.
She quietly opened one eye and took a look, but all she saw was the man scanning the note with a cold face.
My life is over!
How is he going to clean himself up?
Is it like that day?
As Yueli thought about it, she started to think about some inappropriate things.
If we clean it up like we did that day, it might not be impossible...
He Yanchen had been paying attention to her expression. Seeing her go from being terrified to trembling, and suddenly her ears turned red, he really couldn't follow her train of thought.
"Yu Fei."
When Yueli heard this unfamiliar name suddenly, she was stunned for a moment before she reacted and trembled all over.
He Yanchen patted the seat beside him and said, "Come to the couch and kneel before me."
Yueli pouted in grievance, took off her embroidered shoes obediently, and knelt beside him.
She pretended to lean towards him casually, her arm touching his.
"Explain to me why you wrote this?"
Yue Li got the chance to explain and immediately started to talk non-stop: "I didn't write to him on my own initiative. He first sent me a note saying he wanted to see me. I didn't want to see him, so I thought of writing him a letter."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look, there's nothing in this letter that shouldn't be written..."
He Yanchen sneered, "You shouldn't have written a letter. If there was anything inappropriate in the content, would you still be able to stay here and talk to me?"
Yueli thought for a moment, "The letter wasn't written by me!"
Feilan felt a chill on her back.
As expected, Yue Li said, "I only dictated the information, and the words were written by someone else. Your Majesty's accusation is not valid."
He Yanchen was almost amused by her. He pinched the woman's cheek and said, "You have so many twisted ideas."
Yueli was very good at reading people's expressions. She could tell that He Yanchen was not really angry, so she immediately took advantage of the situation and lay in his arms: "What I said is the truth."
"So, should I just let him continue to harbor evil intentions towards me? I just want him to stop pestering me..."
He Yanchen patted her back: "What did he write to you?"
Yueli glanced at the charcoal basin and said hesitantly, "I burned the note..."
"Burned? Then how do I know whether what you said is true or not?"
He Yanchen stroked her back, slowly rubbing his hand along her spine to her waist: "You really are lying to me. It seems that I still need to deal with you properly."
Yue Li's nervousness and fear were mixed with a subtle anticipation. She quite liked He Yanchen beating her up, but it would be better if he didn't take too long.
He Yanchen was so angry that he laughed at her expression. He suddenly pinched the woman's slender waist, picked her up and pressed her on his legs.
Yueli was caught off guard and fell on his legs. He held her back and she couldn't turn around to look at him. She couldn't see what was happening behind her, and she felt her whole body trembling.
Something furry was sliding slowly along her waist. Yueli didn't know what it was, but her mind couldn't help but imagine it. It seemed to be a goat's hair brush...
Feilan had brought in several goat-hair brushes earlier, but she only used one...
"Your Majesty..." Yueli felt her belt being pulled away, and her hands were trapped by her belt.
Immediately afterwards, He Yanchen picked her up and placed her on the desk.
She sat on the note to Xiao Mingcheng.
He Yanchen supported himself on her side with one hand, and slid a brush across her chest with the other: "Since you want to write, then be sincere."
“Write with your own stuff.”
......
Yue Li was in a daze and couldn't understand why He Yanchen had so many tricks.
How could she have the nerve to send this note...

At the hour of You, the palace banquet held in Pinghu Cottage began.
Pinghu Cottage is built beside a lotus pond, surrounded by water on three sides, with a pleasant breeze.
The Queen Mother and the others had already taken their seats, but He Yanchen had not arrived yet, and there was an empty seat in the concubines' seats.
Although He Yanchen had not arrived yet, the palace was already very lively. All those who could attend this time were members of the royal family, except for the family of Shou'an Hou. Although they had titles, they could not be considered royal relatives, but for some reason they also came.
Others may not know, but the queen knows it very well.
His Majesty specially arranged for the Marquis of Shou'an and his family to enter the palace. Based on his style of doing things, the Queen felt that it would definitely not be a good thing.
Xiao Mingcheng sat at his seat, drinking one glass after another, his eyes occasionally falling on the empty seat opposite him.
At this moment, a voice came from outside:
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
"Empress Yu has arrived—"
The moment Yue Li walked into the hall, everyone's eyes fell on her.
For everyone, this was the first time that Concubine Yu, the most favored concubine in the harem, appeared in public.
No one knew where this Concubine Yu came from. She quietly won the favor of His Majesty and was immediately made a concubine. Only a few who knew a little bit knew that she seemed to have been given to His Majesty by the Shou'an Marquisate.
No wonder people from the Shou'an Marquis Mansion were able to attend today's palace banquet.
The Marquis's wife noticed the gazes falling on her from time to time, and she felt so miserable that she couldn't express it.
Xiao Mingcheng looked at Yue Li as if he had lost his soul.
But after not seeing her for half a month, she seemed like a different person.
