Chapter 284 Why Do You Kiss Me So Often?
"I promise that this is the last time he sees you alone. From now on, I will never give him the chance to embarrass you again."
I see!
Looking at his serious expression, Shen Qingyi's doubts were resolved and her depression dissipated.
One almost thought that he didn't want to conflict with Xiao Yelin over this matter, so the Iron Eagle Guard originally had no intention of showing up and just wanted to watch in secret.
She had originally planned that if he really had such thoughts, she would tell him that she would give up on entering the palace, cancel the previous agreement, and completely break off all ties with him.
This is to avoid being caught between them in the future and being criticized by court officials, and being branded as a disaster.
"However, Prince Jin does not approve of the emperor having any relationship with his subjects, otherwise..." The emperor would like to think about it carefully again?
This matter is serious, so she wants to remind him again, in case something unexpected happens in the future, she will have room to shirk responsibility and pretend to be innocent.
However, before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked, and all the unspoken words were blocked back.
His lips were pressed hard, and besides feeling numb, there was also a little stinging. He looked unhappy, with his eyes half closed, and kissed her fiercely and violently, like an enraged beast.
Shen Qingyi was frightened and her pupils constricted suddenly. After she came to her senses, she pushed him hard.
Men and women should not touch each other. Although she agreed to enter the palace, she is still not in a proper position and her words and deeds are not in order. His overly intimate behavior is really offensive.
Thinking of the female precepts and instructions, female virtues and conduct, and then thinking of how she had violated the precepts several times, Shen Qingyi felt guilty and uneasy.
“Hmm…”
The man in front of her was like an iron wall. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move him at all. Shen Qingyi vaguely sensed a dangerous aura.
Just when she didn't know what to do, her wrists were suddenly grabbed. He left her lips and pressed his forehead against hers, calming his heavy and rapid breathing.
The two of them were too close, and his breath hit her face, burning it and causing a tingling sensation and discomfort. Shen Qingyi subconsciously moved her head back a little, but he forcefully pushed her back.
He looked at her, his eyes dark, like an abyss with no bottom.
His throat rolled slowly, and a low sound came out from his lips. When it reached her ears, it was hoarse and seemed to carry electricity. It was indescribably seductive, making her heart tremble.
"You haven't even explained to me yesterday how you broke your promise, and you're already saying things I don't like. Shen Qingyi, this is your punishment."
Shen Qingyi: "..."
When the broken appointment was mentioned, she instantly felt guilty and lost her temper. She just wanted to act like an ostrich and hide herself from head to toe.
But obviously, this is impossible.
"I know I was wrong, I'm sorry..."
She pursed her lips and did not rush to explain herself. Instead, she honestly admitted her mistake and apologized, and put on a very correct attitude as the person at fault, hoping that he would show leniency.
"So, why did you miss the appointment yesterday? Huh?"
He narrowed his eyes, and his previously charming and seductive voice was now cold, with a hint of danger that could not be ignored, as if to say that if her answer did not satisfy him, he would make her pay.
Shen Qingyi shrank her neck, quickly organized her words in her mind, and explained weakly.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't mean to do that. My younger sister was unwell yesterday, and I was so anxious that I forgot the agreement with Your Majesty..."
Although this is not the main reason, my younger sister was indeed unwell, so she definitely did not deceive you.
After explaining the reasons, Shen Qingyi blinked, suppressed the guilt in her heart, and began to plead for herself.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me this time. I beg you, Your Majesty."
No matter how much he thought about it, he never expected that this was the reason. The very cute baby girl appeared in Xiao Jue's mind. His brows moved and a trace of concern appeared in his eyes.
"My little sister is feeling unwell? Is it serious? How is she now?"
Hearing him address Shen Wan, Shen Qingyi was stunned and looked at him blankly.
Did you make a slip of the tongue?
Why does he call me little sister?
That's her younger sister.
Don't call people randomly!
As if seeing through her thoughts, Xiao Jue raised an eyebrow and said, "Qingyi's little sister is also my little sister. Is there something wrong with Qingyi looking at me like this?"
"No, no problem..."
Coming back to her senses, Shen Qingyi quickly shook her head.
Okay, let him scream if he wants.
"Well, so, how is my little sister now?"
He asked again.
Seeing that he cared so much about Shen Wan, Shen Qingyi was very happy and instantly felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye.
Well, this is indeed much better than Xiao Yelin.
Since my younger sister was born, she has met the two brothers of the Xiao family twice. The emperor held her in his arms the first time they met. It was also because of that time that my father had the opportunity to save the emperor's life.
The second time they met was at the Winter Banquet. At that time, he also seemed to like my little sister very much. In front of so many people, he wanted to hug my little sister regardless of the emperor's etiquette, but was rejected by Chen Yaoxing.
On the other hand, Xiao Yelin seemed to have never even looked at my younger sister. Of course, my younger sister didn't like him either.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm feeling much better now. I'll be fully recovered after a few days of rest."
"That's good. Speaking of which, I haven't seen my little sister for a long time. These few days, I will take some time to go to the Duke's Mansion to see my little sister."
I don’t know why, but Xiao Jue always felt that the baby girl had a special connection with him. Whenever he saw the baby girl, he couldn’t help but want to get close to her.
He was cold-hearted by nature and had always been indifferent to others. Apart from his mother and Shen Qingyi, this was the first time he had met someone he wanted to get close to.
Even for Xiao Jinmian, he didn't have much feelings for her when he was young.
When did you become close?
It was after his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress, passed away that he took on the responsibility of ruling the country under the wing of Duke Shen, and his sense of responsibility was awakened.
But at that time, she always cried fragilely and pitifully, looking helpless and as if the sky had fallen. When she saw him, she pulled at the corner of his clothes and timidly called him "Royal Brother".
For a moment, he suddenly realized that the responsibilities he should shoulder were not limited to the country and the people of the world. She and Xiao Yelin were also his responsibilities.
In this way, family affection arises as a side effect of responsibility.
He forced himself to get close to them, and gradually, he got used to it.
"Okay, then I'll thank the Emperor on behalf of my younger sister."
Shen Qingyi thanked him happily.
It’s good that he is willing to go see my younger sister. She is quite bored all day, and it seems like it would be nice to meet someone new.
"Just a lip service? Qingyi is so perfunctory!"
Shen Qingyi: "..."
Isn’t thanking you just lip service?
Besides, she really just wanted to say something polite, simply because the atmosphere was so bad that it would be inappropriate to say nothing.
From the sound of his words, it seemed like he wanted her to get something practical.
But he had hinted so clearly that she couldn't pretend not to understand and not express anything at all.
"I came here empty-handed, without any preparations. When the Emperor comes to visit my younger sister, I will give you the thank-you gift, okay?"
"Why bother?"
It's not like he really wants a thank-you gift.
Suddenly, Xiao Jue laughed and looked at her with his burning eyes. His eyes were filled with emotions that she couldn't understand, but it made her feel inexplicably uneasy.
“Hmm…”
The next moment, her soft and pink lips were kissed again.
*
A corner of the street.
Xiao Yelin stood behind a hidden wall, watching Shen Qingyi being taken away by the Iron Eagle Guards. He stood there motionless for a long time as if he had turned into a stone sculpture.
Suddenly, a lithe figure emerged from a nearby alley and strode towards him.
"Hi, what a coincidence, Your Majesty."
