Chapter 37 Chapter 37 [VIP]
Emperor Yuan Shuo pulled her closer and called out "Yi Niang" softly, holding his breath so as not to disturb her.
At this moment, she no longer had the vigilance she had when she was out in public, and was so relaxed that she exposed her belly and neck to others.
She likes her own territory very much, where she feels relaxed and at ease.
Shen Youyi nodded, and became a little more energetic. 7 gave him a melon seed and encouraged him to continue: "Yi Niang loves His Majesty."
Her maid helped her apply the nourishing jade cream on her skin. She was pure and without any makeup. Her carefully maintained nails were scented with floral oils and shone with their original, lustrous color.
A beautiful woman with a jade-like face and a beautiful appearance, she was the delicate bird that could not fly out of the golden cage. She treated him as a stupid parrot raised in the Qingping Palace, teaching him to speak little by little, saying that she loved him, loved him very much.
Emperor Yuan Shuo's brows twitched slightly, and a sense of sadness inexplicably arose in his heart. Does she know who he is?
She only knew that he was the emperor and she was the imperial concubine. If she wanted to hide her own shortcomings, she had to take the trouble to please him.
She had completely forgotten his appearance, his preferences, their past, and even herself. She didn't remember him, was afraid of him, but still said she loved him.
fraud.
Emperor Yuan Shuo stroked her soft black hair and said softly, "Yi Niang is a liar."
His progress was beyond Shen Youyi's expectations, but she was angry and wanted to take one back from him, but she couldn't compete with his strength. She poured all the seeds back into the bag so that he couldn't see them. She was a little unhappy: "Shut up."
She sat there for a while, feeling discouraged, before she said aggrievedly, "Yi Niang is not a liar."
Emperor Yuan Shuo's heart almost softened. He did not fight with her for that little thing. He gave her everything in his hand and said in a gentle voice, "Yi Niang is not a liar. Yi Niang loves... Your Majesty very much."
His imperial concubine smiled with satisfaction. Instead of taking it back, she gave him one and said earnestly, "Say, 'Your Majesty, please don't abandon Yi Niang, okay?'"
The sentence was a bit long, so she thought about it and gave him two pills as a reward.
Emperor Yuan Shuo suppressed the bitterness in his heart, but once the feeling of pity arose, it was like a cocoon that tightly bound him: "Why do you say that?"
How could she have thought he would one day abandon her, even before he got tired of the white parrot?
Shen Youyi was used to talking to herself in this kind of situation and didn't like being asked back. She became a little wary and refused to tell the truth. She sighed softly: "If you use your beauty to please others, there will always be this day."
Emperor Yuan Shuo remembered that the empress dowager had instructed the unmarried lady from the Wei family to stay in the palace for a while. Even if she was not a real daughter of the Wei family, those women did not become his concubines. How could he not be sad?
"Yiniang, no."
Emperor Yuan Shuo held her still-heated hand, his gaze deep and his tone gentle as he said, "I have no intention of marrying Wei's daughter."
The Queen Mother was his mother, so of course she wanted to make him happy. She certainly wouldn't be that caring towards a concubine who displeased the emperor. But even though they were mother and son, they might not understand his thoughts.
He never had any thoughts about Wei Jingzhong's daughter and niece. At most, when the crown prince was choosing a concubine, he asked several daughters of eligible age from noble families, but the crown prince did not like these noble ladies. Instead, he chose crown princesses whose families were not so prominent, or even mediocre and docile. He then stopped asking about them.
But when he saw her for the first time, he had some very indecent thoughts about her. It was not the love of an elder for a younger person, and it had nothing to do with whose daughter she was or her social status.
He liked her so much that he wanted to have children with her. If the child was smart enough, he might even want to shake Kunimoto's mind.
Shen Youyi shook her head. What she was most worried about at the moment was not the fading of beauty or the decline of the emperor's favor, but what did a bird know, even if it could talk.
But the next moment her hand was held, and her bent fingers pressed firmly on the pulse of his wrist.
It was strong and fast, so fast that it didn't seem like the pulse of Emperor Yuan Shuo in her memory. He always looked down at everything that happened in the palace calmly, calmly, and even arrogantly. He looked at people very gently, but in fact he was so cold that he didn't take them to heart.
Shen Youyi let out a soft cry, and the white parrot disappeared. She saw a vague man sitting opposite her.
A very handsome man, who probably belonged to her, looked a bit like the prince at first glance, which scared her.
But she wanted a kiss.
Emperor Yuan Shuo looked at her quietly, indulging her strange behavior of kissing a bird. He could take another jar of golden melon seeds to exchange those secrets with her, but he shouldn't rush things.
Shen Youyi pressed against his warm skin, feeling the firm lines that were not as soft as her own. She liked this different touch very much. As long as she pressed against him, she would feel tingling and numb, floating in the air, and the lust made her lose her mind. She wanted to do something with him.
He didn't resist at all, and even smiled: "Do you like this?"
She nodded, and then he asked, "Yiniang, have you been promised anyone?"
Is it a disadvantage for a beauty like her to sleep with him? She even asks about his background. She said angrily: "I am fifteen years old.
It's been almost six years now, and this person is definitely not the former Marquis of Lingyang. Emperor Yuanshuo is a little unhappy, but she is the easiest to deceive right now. For a little physical pleasure, she can answer anything. Remember?"
Shen Youyi glanced at him warily. Why did he want to check the household registration?
Emperor Yuan Shuo saw her shaking her head. Although he was a little disappointed, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "Why did you come to me?"
She didn't remember her family, but she still remembered that she had promised herself to someone else!
How shameless!
She liked this man so much, so why didn't he marry her? Instead, he let her fall into the hands of Marquis Lingyang!
Shen Youyi was pushed half an arm's length away. She realized that she seemed to have angered someone, but she wanted to continue enjoying the benefits he brought her, but he became even angrier.
He is a man of good character, but not too much, and he is not here to tease unmarried young ladies.
Emperor Yuan Shuo didn't know how to punish her. She was sick and this happened a long time ago. He shouldn't be angry, but he couldn't help being angry.
Even though she came over to hug him and rubbed his cheek flatteringly.
"I didn't promise anyone, I was just lying to you."
She whispered in defense, "My brother is very strict with me. He doesn't want me to get married."
The marriage of their children should be decided by their parents. Emperor Yuan Shuo's anger subsided a little. He embraced her and whispered, "Is it because your father and mother are gone?"
Shen Youyi was not so sure: "Aye and A Niang want me to marry a powerful and ideal husband, but they love my brother very much and don't want to go against his wishes. They want to choose a husband for me that my brother can accept."
Emperor Yuan Shuo laughed. There was such a family tradition in the world. The father had to look at his son's mood. The elder brother didn't want to teach his sister to get married. He didn't know whether the boy was married or what his wife thought.
However, in front of the imperial concubine, he couldn't judge his father-in-law and mother-in-law too much, lest she get angry, so he said softly: "Where are they? My dear, can you please find them to accompany you?"
Shen Youyi looked at him blankly, feeling aggrieved: “Yi Niang doesn’t know.”
Seeing that she was about to cry, Emperor Yuan Shuo quickly patted her and gently coaxed her, "It's okay. If you can't remember it, don't think about it. My husband will have someone find it back."
As long as the person is still alive, it will be easier. As long as she can figure out the approximate location, no one will give up the opportunity to recognize the imperial concubine's family.
However, the beauty in his arms panicked and refused categorically, "No!"
She missed home, but subconsciously didn't think it was a good idea: "Your Majesty will be unhappy."
It was rare for her to still be thinking about him while she was rambling. Emperor Yuan Shuo's gaze was lingering, not caring whether she recognized the man in front of her as "Your Majesty". He said softly, "How could that be? Isn't Your Majesty your ideal husband?"
Putting aside her brother's eccentricity, her parents wanted her to marry a powerful man, naturally because they wanted her to live a good life and perhaps also to help her brother share in the good fortune.
He was the perfect son-in-law that met her parents' expectations. As the saying goes, a husband's honor brings his wife honor. The emperor himself has supreme power, so naturally he would not be stingy with rewards to his relatives. Even if she was a little angry, it was because she had treated Wei Jingzhong as a idol for so long... She was even a little embarrassed because the woman she married was his daughter, who he had just recognized not long ago.
Shen Youyi thought about it and it seemed to be true, but His Majesty was not the person her father and mother wanted her to marry, so she sighed: "That may not be the case, he should be younger."
There are some fine lines at the corners of Her Majesty's eyes left by the passage of time. Although she will sink into them unconsciously, her brother hates the elders to act as matchmakers and marry her to an older member of the royal family as a successor.
Even the Crown Prince, who pleased her the most, was not very pleasing to her brother. She had to act first and ask for his permission later. The Crown Prince promised to try his best to train her to be his principal wife, and only then did her brother put on a sullen face and stop caring about her.
Shen Youyi thought of her brother's serious face and lost interest in messing around with the man in front of her. Just as she was about to let go and go home, the very gentle and handsome man suddenly changed his expression, held her down firmly, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"
She was stunned.
When he got angry, he seemed much scarier than her brother, and her heart beat faster.
Even though he had mastered the art of tranquility, Emperor Yuan Shuo still felt a little angry and scolded him, "Things in the world are often difficult to satisfy. Are you supposed to take all the good things for yourself?"
She wants her son-in-law to be powerful and young and handsome. She is a bit too greedy!
She was in a daze and was stunned by his fright. She shrank her head like a quail and let him do whatever he wanted.
Shen Youyi watched him fetch a few pillows, press her down not too gently, and tear off the thin, almost translucent undergarment. In the silent inner hall, the sound of silk being torn became clearer and clearer.
She could only shield herself tightly with her hands, trying to protect the remaining fabric. She wanted to offer the gold and silver, but he was so ferocious that his eyes moved back and forth over her several times as if he wanted to swallow her. He lowered his head a little and bent over.
Shen Youyi looked down at him doubtfully. This angle made it easy for her to observe the man's every move.
The slightly hot breath sprayed rapidly on Shangbai, and the bridge of the nose sank first, and then became as soft and nimble as a snake.
She doesn't need too much patience and gentleness, she can easily eat something as soft and tough as water, but the pleasure it brings is as surging as the tide.
The joy came unexpectedly, but because of her slowness and ignorance, it was like a winding stream. By the time she knew it, she was already collapsed on the pile of pillows and quilts, as if lying on the clouds, wandering in the fairyland. She only knew to curl up tremblingly, as if the girl was shyly driving away, but also as if reluctantly keeping him.
She didn't know what she wanted anymore, nor was she worried about locking him to death. She was just like a dumb little animal, howling wantonly between heaven and earth, forgetting herself and enjoying the vitality of spring returning to the earth... Suddenly, her eyes widened and her voice stopped abruptly.
He bit that delicate spot!
Emperor Yuan Shuo never thought that he would do such a lowly thing for a woman. No matter how clean the relationship between men and women is, it is always dirty and difficult to swallow.
He was a law-abiding man. Since this kind of thing was for the purpose of continuing the family line, it should be done in a solemn manner. He did not require his concubines to provide oral service to gain any other pleasure. In the end, it would be like that anyway. Apart from humiliating people, there might not be anything special about it.
Asking the emperor to lower himself and bow down to others was a provocation to the imperial power. No concubine dared to ask the emperor to please her in return, but she was drunk unconscious tonight and would not remember anything the next day.
She was very soft and hot. It was not the first time he knew this, but he was surprised that it was not difficult to enter. He even felt a little guilty and happy as if he had done something wrong.
She was gentle and frank, hiding her sharp tongue. She didn't know what shyness was. Just the slightest breath could drive her crazy.
Even though she was not at the head of the table as he was used to, she was still meat on the chopping board. He softened his stance, but was still the knife that slaughtered her.
It was very easy, even in less than half an hour. There was a dying fish on the dry riverbed. She spit out foam to moisten the fish, sweated several times, and even had no strength to open her eyes.
Emperor Yuanshuo knew she should be satisfied, but he suspected she had lost too much water, so he fed her two cups of sweet water with osmanthus honey to moisten her lips. However, when he leaned over, he couldn't help but touch her cheek. His concubine moved back with a hint of disgust, and was so aggrieved that she almost died of anger: "Yi Niang doesn't want to get dirty."
She remembered that this place had a lot of rules and was extremely annoying. She wanted a maid to come in and help her wash her face, and maybe even wipe her body again, apply nourishing cream again, and dress herself up as a fragrant, refreshing and pure beauty, so that the man would be satisfied.
But she was really tired. After drinking some sweet water, she didn't even want to lift her hands. Before she could protest, she fell asleep.
Emperor Yuan Shuo's eyes were deep. He was used to a life of purity and simplicity, but that did not mean that the king was willing to be like Liu Xia Hui. He was a normal man, and what was more, he was so vivid just now.
She was his concubine, and it was only right that she should serve the king.
This wasn't considered taking advantage of someone's misfortune. Emperor Yuan Shuo kissed her cheek. Although discussing this with her at this time seemed more like a hypocritical act, his voice was still very gentle: "Yi Niang is already dirty, so please help your husband, okay?"
He didn't like dust and water getting on towels and clothes and giving them a bad smell, but it was a great pleasure to dirty his beloved woman.
It's like... the sweet and fishy smell of fresh minced meat hanging on armor, with a little blood seeping out, amplifying the desire.
The thirst that had been suppressed for a long time could not be relieved by having sex with her two or three times.
…
Shen Youyi had many dreams. She teased the white parrot for a while, and then the white parrot turned into a handsome man and talked to her in human language. After a long and chaotic argument, she fell into endless darkness.
In the bronze mirror, she was dressed in plain white. A bowl of nourishing ginseng soup was placed on the table. The maid beside her gently comforted her, "Madam, please at least eat something. Even if you cry for the Lord until the Great Wall collapses, the Lord will not return."
She is the widow of Marquis Lingyang.
Her face looked much more haggard, making people feel pity. "Your Majesty, have you settled down the heir chosen for the Marquis of Lingyang?"
Speaking of the young new Marquis of Lingyang, the maid seemed somewhat indignant. "How could this be the son chosen by Your Majesty for the Lord? It was clearly that cunning woman who bribed the Crown Prince, and Crown Prince Yang interceded before the Emperor, so Your Majesty chose this unrelated, side branch as the heir... That woman even tried to claim the position of consort in front of the coffin, as if she wasn't marrying a poor man, but the Lord."
Not only did she decide on a half-grown boy as her heir before the lady, she also wanted to live in the main house, order the servants around, and repeatedly made things difficult for the lady. A woman who only knew a few words and didn't even have an imperial edict was so fearless, as if she had someone backing her up.
She twitched the corners of her cracked lips, and it was as if the wound in her heart moved with it. "My dear, you don't have many close relatives, so just let them go. I have no children, and I have no family to rely on. If my dear is gone, how can I keep these things?"
The maid was slightly surprised and whispered, "The army hasn't found your remains yet. Madam, please don't give birth..."
She waved her hand, gave a wry smile, and said softly, "Everywhere the sun and moon shine, all is the king's land. In this vast world, where else can I find a place to stay? After all, I have wronged him, causing him to die in a foreign land, leaving the Xiao family extinct. I would like to beat the drum and submit a petition, asking Your Majesty to grant me a written document, clearly informing all the authorities along the way, so that I can travel to southern Xinjiang. Just in case I can find his remains."
The prince will not let her go after taking things to this point.
He killed her husband and arranged for a young boy whose biological mother was still alive to inherit the Xiao title. She was a widow of no use, so who would help her keep the money that she deserved?
He receives instruction from the Grand Tutor and Junior Tutor every day, and now he uses etiquette to suppress her. The glory of the Xiao family will fall on the next Marquis of Lingyang. Behind closed doors, which mother will this child be filial to? Will outsiders care?
With someone backing her up, even if she, as the wife of the Marquis, went to the Dali Temple to appeal for justice, she might not be able to get what she wanted.
But the court attached great importance to the loyalty between husband and wife. Even if it was to recuperate with the people and encourage widows of the right age to remarry and have more children, Emperor Yuan Shuo would not fail to praise the chaste woman's behavior. With the imperial edict, she had to leave Chang'an smoothly and live in the official post station, and he asked them to send people to follow her along the way.
She pondered how to escape the prince's eyes and ears along the way. She scooped a spoonful of ginseng soup into her mouth, not knowing the taste at all. After drinking a few sips, she signaled the maid to take it away: "You guys drink it, I really have no appetite."
However, she had been very busy these days. After sitting down to rest for a while, she felt dizzy as soon as she stood up.
When she opened her eyes again, she was dressed as a young girl.
Each of the maids who served her was humble and submissive, more humble than the other, but she did not know any of them.
Seeing her wake up, several leading maids almost cried for joy. They gave a few instructions to the people around them and trotted out, not knowing who they were talking to.
She touched her cheek and looked at herself in the bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror was as clear as water, revealing every detail. She was a beauty, but she was as dull as a piece of wood, covered in fog.
A living person who has grown up to her age must have had many experiences, but why can't she remember anything?
It was a very quiet place, and she could see the shade of trees outside the window.
She didn't have much time to be in a daze. Soon, there was a loud sound of horse hooves outside the door. She heard many people bowing and calling the man "Your Highness".
The door of the house suddenly opened from the outside, and the young man in the golden crown and jade belt did not avoid the daughter's boudoir at all. In front of the maids and even the beardless men, he strode towards her, and the joy on his face was almost overflowing.
She wanted to yell "How dare you" and send him away, but no one thought it was wrong. He ignored what she said and hugged her tightly.
His arms were so tight that he almost held her in his embrace, like a lost treasure that had been found again. She was dumbfounded.
"Yi Niang, you almost scared me to death!"
He hadn't had time to wipe the sweat off his forehead when his eyes sparkled with astonishing brilliance. He wanted to kiss her cheek, but he restrained himself and said softly, "You don't know how hard I've been working these days. I can't even eat. If anything really happens... I don't want to live anymore."
Shen Youyi felt a little strange. Those people seemed to have no reaction, as if they were used to it.
"Who are you to me?"
The man called His Highness was slightly startled, but couldn't lose his temper in front of her. He turned to ask an older, beardless man, "Is this the effect of his medicine? I think he doesn't want to live anymore!"
She felt a little timid, cleared her throat and asked, "Who am I? Why are you calling me Yi Niang? Can you please let me go first?"
The young man saw her fear and weakness, and without caring about anyone else, he quickly carried her to the bed and said with a smile, "Yiniang, how could you have forgotten that I am your...fiancé? I've been the one giving her medicine and water these days. Do you still want to be estranged from me?"
It turned out that her name was Yi Niang. She nodded, reluctantly accepting his approach, and timidly asked, "Then who are you? Why do people call you Your Highness?"
He hesitated for a moment, then smiled faintly, "I am the crown prince of this dynasty. Yi Niang is a girl I rescued on the roadside. You are weak and faint easily. I am really worried about you. I fell in love with you at first sight. We promised to spend our lives together, so I will temporarily place you here."
Her face turned red. It was very unruly to promise to spend the rest of your life in private. How could he say it so naturally without avoiding others?
"Do you have a princess?"
Although he was very young, she was still worried: "Have you proposed to me?"
The prince frowned and thought for a moment, then he said softly, "Yi Niang's family is gone. I once had a wife, but I will teach Yi Niang how to be a princess."
She cried out, "Your wife is dead?"
The recent disagreement between him and the Crown Princess had almost reached the Imperial Court, so it wouldn't be difficult for Donggong Heliyuan to do so. He smiled softly and said, "We don't get along very well, and my father is not satisfied with her family either."
This position originally belonged to her. Since that woman had designed to separate him from Yi Niang, he didn't want to have any closeness with her anymore, even though they had a daughter.
If she knew what was good for her, since they were husband and wife after all, he would not do anything too extreme for the sake of his daughter. He would even support her for life. When he became the emperor in the future, as long as Yiniang was willing, he could arrange another marriage for her and marry her off in a grand ceremony.
But if she didn't know what was good for her, why would he spare her life?
She was skeptical. The powerful Crown Prince fell in love with an orphan girl at first sight and wanted to make her the Crown Princess. "I don't believe it."
The prince was not angry. He had recently gotten what he wanted, and his temper was extremely mild. He said patiently, "Why would I lie to you? What is there about Yi Niang that is worth lying to?"
She was speechless for a moment, unable to come up with a reason to refute, and then she heard the prince say, "Perhaps Yi Niang thinks that I am attracted by your beauty and want to possess you. I am saying these things just to coax you into submission."
She nodded. What else?
The prince smiled suddenly, as bright as spring, and said lovingly, "One day you will understand. We have a long way to go."
Yi Niang seemed to have a deep misunderstanding of him, even after taking the medicine.
What he wanted was never her body, but for her to return to him and be his only wife.
