Chapter 161 I Like Being with the Emperor
Pei Tingyue was stunned for a moment.
She originally wanted to take a step back and make this person feel bad, but why is she in a passive position now?
Think about it carefully.
He is absolutely right.
Since she came to Chengming Palace to recuperate, he indeed did not summon the concubines or let them stay overnight, not even to visit her.
This is quite satisfying.
Pei Tingyue was thinking about what to do next.
Xie Chen let her go, saying "Go ahead if you want to," and left the hall.
Pei Tingyue: “…”
This was a little different from what she had expected.
Isn't she angry?
Why is this person still angry?
The inner bedroom became quiet again. You could hear a pin drop, and only the candle wick made a slight crackling sound.
Pei Tingyue sat on the couch for a while.
He lifted the quilt and lay down.
When the palace maids saw that she was asleep, they extinguished all the candles, leaving only a copper lamp with a lotus pattern.
Pei Tingyue watched the flickering candlelight without blinking.
After waiting for a long time, the man didn't come back.
Sleepiness slowly came over him, Pei Tingyue closed his eyes, and was about to fall into a drowsy sleep.
She heard light footsteps.
Pei Tingyue woke up, opened his eyes and looked towards the bed.
The man had changed into a dark blue nightgown embroidered with cloud patterns. He lifted the quilt, got on the bed, turned around and walked out in one go without even glancing at her.
Pei Tingyue had a headache.
After seducing the emperor for more than half a year, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation.
It seems that this person is really angry.
How to coax him?
Pei Tingyue sighed inwardly.
She lifted the quilt covering herself and pushed it to the innermost part of the bed, then lifted the quilt covering this person and covered him with it. She moved slowly behind him and quietly put her arms around his waist.
As expected, he brushed it off.
It was circled again and brushed down again.
Pei Tingyue looked at the gilded tent ceiling and decided to try again. If it didn't work, she would go to sleep and let the emperor sulk on his own.
She stretched out her fair white fingers and slowly wrapped them around the slender waist.
This time the man didn't get her away.
But he remained silent for a long time.
Suddenly he turned over and bit Pei Tingyue's earlobe hard.
"ah-"
Pei Tingyue felt pain and immediately covered his earlobe and glared at people.
Xie Chen gritted his teeth and said, "You don't understand my intentions at all!"
Pei Tingyue looked at him with clear eyes, but suddenly found that this man did not seem angry, but more like...
Wronged?
The emperor felt wronged.
This understanding is somewhat novel.
Pei Tingyue was about to respond when the man closed his eyes, buried his face in her neck, kissed her beautiful neckline, and then said viciously, "Pei Tingyue, I'm telling you, as long as you're by my side, I won't even look at another woman. Remember this, and don't belittle yourself anymore."
This really looks extremely aggrieved.
Pei listened to the moon for a moment, then dimmed again, her voice muffled. "But when a new bride enters the palace, the Emperor will surely favor her. It's only a matter of time. It's inappropriate for me to be here."
Xie Chen put his forehead against hers and said, "I do not favor new concubines."
Pei Tingyue's pupils dilated slightly.
Not favored?
Why?
Xie Chen quickly gave the answer, his voice indifferent: "This new concubine was allowed in by the Queen Mother. I don't want to offend the Queen Mother too much. If you want to come in, then come in. Just stay quietly in the harem. As for favors, don't worry about it."
A glimmer of light flashed in Pei Tingyue's eyes.
Was the reason for not favoring her because the emperor was unwilling, or was it because of her?
Or both.
But Pei Tingyue still felt that her fault accounted for a larger proportion.
If it weren't for her, perhaps the emperor would have favored the new concubine out of consideration for the previous dynasty and the empress dowager's face.
Now that I have her, I don't want her to be sad or jealous, and with just a little bit of unwillingness, I have given up the idea of favoring her.
Pei Tingyue suddenly found it interesting.
In the past, she only hoped to firmly occupy the position in the emperor's heart, but she never thought that the emperor would stop favoring the concubines for her.
Now there is only a hint, Pei Tingyue is looking forward to it, whether the emperor will really "keep his chastity" for her in the future.
However, being the only favorite among the six concubines is not an easy task. She has to think of ways to deepen her bond with the emperor and make him fully realize that he loves her so much.
Totally devoted, desperately trying.
Even for her, give her unique favor.
Suppressing her heavy thoughts, Pei Tingyue raised her eyelashes again, looked into his dark eyes, and asked hopefully, "Your Majesty did not lie to me?"
Xie Chen kissed her bright red lips: "You are not joking."
Pei Tingyue laughed, then straightened her expression and said, "Then I will also return to Changle Palace tomorrow."
Xie Chen: “…”
He was a little confused.
He explained, and the woman became happy, so why did she leave again?
"Why?"
Pei Tingyue counted on his fingers and said,
"First, I have been living in Chengming Palace for quite some time. If I continue to stay here, I am afraid the concubines in the six palaces will become resentful."
"Secondly, I miss Tuantuan and the Imperial Concubine. I haven't seen them for a long time, and I miss them a little."
"third…"
At this point, Pei Tingyue turned over and said, "Your Majesty said that I have no conscience, so I will not be an eyesore to Your Majesty here."
Xie Chen held the person in his arms, his elegant and handsome face resting on Pei Tingyue's shoulder. "What's an eyesore? It makes me feel uncomfortable, doesn't it? You said Tingyue has no conscience because Tingyue didn't take my feelings seriously. I said it in anger."
Pei Tingyue snorted and didn't respond.
Xie Chen kissed her little face: "Next time if you have something on your mind, don't keep it to yourself. Ask me and I will explain it to you seriously. Let's not quarrel, okay?"
Pei Tingyue glared at him: "Even when we quarreled, it was me who coaxed the emperor. Just now, the emperor ignored me. Anyway, it was the emperor's fault! No, I was wrong too! It's all my fault that I like the emperor so much. I was wronged but still coaxed the emperor. I don't want to like the emperor so much anymore!"
Xie Chen looked at her profile seriously and said softly, "I admit all these mistakes, okay? I apologize to Tingyue. There is only one thing, Tingyue must always like me like this."
Pei Tingyue looked at him rather arrogantly: "Then Your Majesty, how do you say you will apologize to me?"
Xie Chen laughed: "I will do whatever the Concubine Zhaoyi tells me to do."
Pei Tingyue looked at him for a moment, a faint smile on her lips, "That's more than enough. I'll keep this request for future use."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Xie Chen agreed, looking at her with a smile, "Then Tingyue won't leave, right?"
Pei Tingyue said firmly: "Let's go."
Xie Chen: “…”
There was obvious doubt on his face.
"Still leaving?"
Pei Tingyue said, "Yes. Even though the concubines in the six palaces dare not say anything due to the emperor's majesty, I really miss Tuantuan and the imperial concubine."
Xie Chen smiled: "I asked the imperial concubine to come to Chengming Palace with her cat."
Pei Tingyue turned around and met his eyes. "Your Majesty, do you really want me to stay in Chengming Palace?"
Xie Chen admitted: "Yeah."
Pei Tingyue asked softly, "Won't Your Majesty get tired of being with me all day long?"
"Why does Tingyue ask that?" Xie Chen's eyes flashed dangerously. "Are you tired of me?"
Pei Tingyue shrank her neck guiltily, and then snuggled into his warm arms, "Tingyue likes to be with the emperor."
Xie Chen chuckled softly, "Okay. The New Year will be here in a few days. After I stop writing, I'll have more time to spend with Tingyue."
Pei Tingyue, who was unable to escape, sighed secretly.
Men in love are too clingy.
There is no time to breathe or be independent.
However, it is indeed quite comfortable to stay in Chengming Palace. You don’t have to worry about anything, and you don’t have to be wary of the dirty thoughts of the concubines in the harem.
It wouldn't hurt for her to stay a little longer.
