Chapter 41: Flirting
Facing her puzzled gaze, Xie Chen explained softly, "You have a low-grade fever."
Pei Tingyue was speechless.
She had clearly started exercising, but unexpectedly her body was still so weak. She developed a fever after vomiting a few times.
No wonder she felt so weak all over.
Pei Tingyue didn't move, and just stayed obediently in Xie Chen's arms. She looked around, and it was already dark. "Where is this?"
"We've arrived. This is a villa in the gardens outside Beijing." Xie Chen carried her up the stairs and walked inside.
"Where is the Imperial Concubine?" Pei Tingyue didn't see Imperial Concubine Song nearby and felt confused.
"Don't worry about others if you are sick. She is fine and there is no need to worry." Xie Chen said in a calm tone.
Pei Tingyue shut up in disappointment.
The royal villa is renovated in a luxurious and grand manner.
The pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner, and the flowers, rocks and plants are lush and green. At first glance, it is indescribably elegant and natural.
Xie Chen placed Pei Tingyue in a small courtyard next to the main courtyard and asked the accompanying imperial physician to take her pulse.
After taking the patient's pulse, the imperial physician respectfully replied, "The talented lady is fine. Two doses of medicine will reduce the fever."
Xie Chen nodded slightly and told someone to boil the medicine.
He looked at the woman's pale face and uttered two words: "Spoiled."
Pei Tingyue grabbed his sleeve and shook it, whispering, "Is the emperor going to dislike me?"
Xie Chen lifted his eyelids and opened his thin lips slightly: "If I disliked you, I wouldn't have brought you here, nor would I be waiting here to feed you medicine."
He didn't quite understand why this person was becoming more and more conscienceless in his words.
Pei Tingyue's eyes were filled with smiles, and she hugged his neck: "I knew that the emperor would not dislike me."
Xie Chen sat there without moving, letting her stick to him and rub against him.
Not long after, Yunshu came in with a bowl.
Pei Tingyue didn't want to be fed spoonful by spoonful. Not only was it awkward, but it was also too bitter to drink spoonful by spoonful. She didn't want it.
She reached out and took the bowl directly and drank it all in one gulp.
The bitter taste of medicine spread in her mouth, and she frowned and complained, "It's so bitter."
Xie Chen felt helpless and squeezed a candied plum into her mouth. "Why are you drinking so fast? Aren't you afraid of choking?"
The sweet and sour plum melted on her tongue, and Pei Tingyue's brows relaxed. "I must get better soon. I finally got to leave the palace, and I can't be delayed because of a low-grade fever."
Xie Chen stuffed another plum into her mouth and pinched her face: "You have quite a playful spirit."
Pei Tingyue smiled sweetly and threw herself into the man's arms, making a fuss.
The quarrel went too far, and Xie Chen grabbed her dishonest hand and asked, "Don't you want to go out tomorrow?"
Pei Tingyue blinked innocently: "I want to go out."
Xie Chen lowered his eyes, looked at the other hand that was resting on his waist, and asked, "What is Tingyue doing now?"
Pei Tingyue hummed and said vaguely: "I miss the emperor."
Xie Chen narrowed his eyes.
He clearly gave her a chance, but she still came up to him without knowing what was good for her.
Then don't blame him.
Xie Chen let go of her hand and whispered, "Continue."
With this, Pei Tingyue became completely impolite, unfastened his belt, and reached under his robe.
Pei Tingyue satisfied his urge for a while, aroused the man's desire, and then ran away - hiding in the corner of the bed and not coming out.
She did it on purpose.
Deliberately retaliate against the emperor.
Who made her wait so hard for the emperor's bed for half a month!
Xie Chen was teased and felt very uncomfortable.
His originally cold eyes and brows were filled with lust. He looked at the person squatting on the bed in confusion and asked, "What are you hiding for?"
Don’t you want to?
Why did you stop again?
Pei Tingyue pulled the quilt upwards and gave a very good reason: "I am afraid that the emperor will get too hot."
Xie Chen laughed angrily.
Now that I think about it, it's too late.
He pulled her back with a dangerous look on his face, "I have a way to prevent overheating."
Pei Tingyue: “…”
In the past, although the emperor would toss and turn in bed for a long time, he always acted according to the rules and did not use any other tricks.
She thought he wouldn't come, so she took a gamble.
I didn’t expect...that he could do it!
It was also brought up directly.
Pei Tingyue felt that the situation was a little tricky. She stepped back unconsciously, but was grabbed by the waist and pulled back.
She admitted her mistake: "I know I was wrong! When I am well again, I will serve the emperor well. Any other method would be too unfair to the emperor."
Xie Chen didn't buy her tricks and said directly: "I'm not wronged.
He pulled her hand down and blew a breath in her ear: "Behave well now."
Pei Tingyue was in tears.
"Blow out the lights..."
Xie Chen's breathing became increasingly unstable. He held her tightly in his arms and took action with her, "Not bright..."
In the dim candlelight, two figures were reflected on the diamond-shaped window, entangled in ambiguity and endless intimacy.
…
In the end, Pei Tingyue's hands felt sore and she could only let the other big hand hold her. The hot breath sprayed on her earlobes, making them numb. She felt dizzy and her face flushed, as if she had a high fever.
After begging for mercy several times, the man behind her finally let her go.
afterwards.
Xie Chen washed her hands several times and wiped away the water droplets.
His voice was low and hoarse: "Shall I give you a massage?"
Pei Tingyue blushed completely and burrowed into the quilt without saying a word.
A faint smile flashed in Xie Chen's eyes: "Have a good rest today, and I'll take you horseback riding tomorrow."
Pei Tingyue then poked his little head out and nodded heavily.
Xie Chen gave a few more instructions before leaving.
The next morning.
After Pei Tingyue had her meal and taken her medicine, she changed into a simple dress and went to the gate of the villa.
The emperor and Concubine Song were both there, surrounded by a circle of majestic imperial guards.
After the ceremony, Xie Chen pointed at the red-maned horses standing there and asked, "Can you ride them?"
Pei Tingyue shook his head.
Xie Chen had anticipated this: "I'll teach you."
He was very patient and explained in detail how to get started.
Pei Tingyue made sufficient mental preparations before stepping into the stirrups, grabbing the reins, and getting on.
The moment she sat on the horse, Pei Tingyue was amazed at the wide view. However, it was her first time riding a horse and she had no experience, so her body kept shaking after she sat on it.
Seeing this, Xie Chen climbed over and sat behind her, hugging her.
Concubine Song watched with great interest for a moment, then swiftly jumped onto her horse and said, "Let's go, let's have a good run today!"
A group of people headed towards the forest.
Concubine Song was unwilling to walk slowly with them, so she quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests with a few guards.
Pei Tingyue looked at the endless forest and asked, "How big is this forest?"
Xie Chen said, "It's about ten miles in radius. Let's not go deep into it today, let's just walk around the edge."
Pei Tingyue didn't understand anything, so he agreed.
Seeing that she was able to slowly steady herself, Xie Chen exerted a little force on her legs and the horse began to trot.
He took Pei Tingyue for a walk around the outskirts of the forest.
Pei Tingyue breathed in the fresh air and looked at the scenery along the way, and couldn't help feeling in a good mood.
