Xie Rang's breath hitched slightly, his body stiffened briefly, then slowly relaxed. Holding the pen, his voice held a barely perceptible, obscure desire: "I'll write."
It's really hard to write, otherwise Yun Qing wouldn't be struggling with it. If Xie Rang were to write it, it would be even more difficult.
The emperor was majestic and powerful, and apart from Yun Qing, no one in the capital could control him. Faced with this letter, he was caught in a dilemma and hesitated for a long time before slowly beginning to write.
Yun Qing did nothing but sit beside him and watch him write. At first, she had a teasing attitude, but as Xie Rang wrote more and more, her ears burned.
Those things that can be said directly in normal times are written on letter paper in more subtle language, but for some reason, this makes people feel more indescribable emotions.
"Stop writing, give it to me."
After he finished writing a sentence, Yun Qing finally couldn't help but speak up and snatched the pen from his hand. Inadvertently, a drop of ink splashed on Xie Rang's face. He subconsciously reached out to wipe it, but ended up smearing the ink, leaving a long mark from his cheek to his chin.
Yun Qing: ...
She widened her eyes slightly, then covered her lips and turned her gaze away: "...I'm sorry."
In this unexpected turn of events, I inadvertently glimpsed the childlike side of Xie Rang. Despite his wise and decisive actions, he would do some rather comical things in private. Yun Qing was simply no match for him, so that's how it ended.
Xie Rang was exceptionally obedient: "It's alright. Why did the Grand Tutor suddenly stop me from writing again?"
At first, he hesitated and struggled to put pen to paper, but as he wrote, it became smoother. Xie Rang gradually expressed his love for Yun Qingsheng and made promises to show his determination. In the end, a long and eloquent piece was completed, and he even felt a little unsatisfied.
Yun Qing tried to remain calm: "I'll write the rest. I can't push everything onto you."
Yun Qing is no longer a child, and her agreement came from her own heart. At least they are mutually in love. It would be truly unfair and unreasonable to place all the blame on Xie Rang.
Xie Rang said thoughtfully, "Okay."
While Yun Qing was writing, he went to the back hall to wash the ink off his face. When he returned, Yun Qing had already folded the dried letter and carefully put it into the envelope.
Xie Rang was a little disappointed that he hadn't seen what Yun Qing had written in the second half, but fortunately, this didn't stop him from asking for a reward.
The boy's eyes were full of smiles as he gazed at her eagerly: "Yun Qing, what is my reward?"
They've even stopped calling him Grand Tutor; they clearly have ill intentions.
He even dismissed the servants beforehand.
From the moment she made the promise, Yun Qing had no room for regret, nor did she ever think of going back on her word. Under the expectant gaze of the young man, she walked up to him.
Yun Qing was considered tall for a woman, but she was not tall enough next to Xie Rang. She was finally able to confirm one fact: he was taller than described in history.
Yun Qing sighed almost imperceptibly: "...Can't you just be a little more considerate of me?"
Xie Rang gently curved his lips into a smile: "It was my fault."
Yun Qing didn't think it was a proper thing to admit one's mistake in this kind of situation, but Xie Rang actually leaned down after admitting his mistake, to the extent that she could reach.
Yun Qing curled her fingertips slightly, tilted her head back, and kissed his lips. Her movements were a little awkward. She was not usually proactive in these kinds of things, and the little experience she had was learned from Xie Rang. Therefore, she seemed a little distant and never quite got down to business.
Xie Rang seemed determined to get a reward from her. He stood there with a smile on his face, and after a while, he whispered in her ear, "Grand Tutor, why don't you learn some more?"
Yun Qing's actions were all like probing, not only failing to quell his desires but also, like scratching an itch through a boot, exacerbating some unpleasant thoughts.
Xie Rang certainly enjoyed her initiative, but this reward was more like torture.
Yun Qing narrowed her eyes, somewhat displeased: "You don't like it?"
"How could I dare?" Xie Rang quickly clarified, he wasn't that kind of person. Anyway, he had fallen for her, he said wistfully, "It's just..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Qing gently bit the corner of his lips, her clear voice lowered slightly: "Then let's talk about it next time."
Yun Qing didn't understand the feeling of being immersed in desire, and she didn't have such thoughts at the moment. She was much more restrained than Xie Rang. After speaking, she calmly stepped back and looked at Xie Rang with a half-smile.
Xie Rang raised his hand to try and persuade her to stay, then lowered it again, finally letting it fall as if in resignation: "Alright."
Yun Qing wanted to give the letter to Qing Que to deliver, but Xie Rang quickly stopped her, his slender fingers touching the corner of her eye as he whispered, "Grand Tutor, let's wait a little longer."
I don’t know if it was because she used to cover up her emotions with makeup, but Xie Rang only found out after he got together with Yun Qing that all of her emotional fluctuations were easily reflected on her face, especially the corners of her eyes, which were beautifully blurred.
In moments of passion, Xie Rang especially enjoyed kissing this spot.
Yun Qing suddenly looked up and slapped his hand away without any mercy.
I really don't want to think about why he said that!
-
They stayed at the palace for about two months.
Once the weather finally cools down, Xie Rang shouldn't continue staying here, both logically and emotionally. After all, although there are people responsible for delivering messages, handling official business here is never as convenient as in the capital.
An emperor who indulges in pleasure is not a good emperor. Under Yun Qing's urging, Xie Rang finally reluctantly set a date for the return trip, and the ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.
Those who were able to come to the imperial palace were all ministers at the center of the government. After being subtly and overtly hinted at by the emperor, they were all numb and couldn't understand why the emperor would covet the imperial tutor who had assisted him until now.
From the previous situation, it can be seen that the Imperial Tutor was a loyal subject of the emperor. Even with immense power in his hands, he never thought of forming cliques for personal gain. Faced with the young emperor's intentions, one can only imagine how much he tossed and turned in private, yet he could not refuse.
Thinking about it this way, everyone felt that it was somewhat unfair to the Imperial Tutor.
After years of hard work, it's no wonder that Master Li devoted himself to promoting the development of girls' education; now it seems that it was all due to unspoken hardships.
The private discussions did not escape Xie Rang's spies, and when these messages came to him, Yun Qing remained silent for a while.
Her expression was a little strange as she glanced at Xie Rang: "Your Majesty, is this the result of your hard work over the past period of time?"
This is a bit unexpected.
