Chapter 60 She's in My Heart
Pei Tingyue was surprised.
Tonight is the day when the new concubines enter the palace. The emperor should go to the two new concubines, so why is he here?
She didn't have time to think about it. The emperor had arrived and she had to go to greet him.
As I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw him sitting by the ice mirror to cool off.
Pei Tingyue stepped forward and bowed, then sat down next to him and asked softly, "Why is the emperor here at this hour?"
Xie Chen raised his eyebrows: "Tingyue doesn't welcome me?"
Pei Tingyue was radiating joy. She moved closer, took Xie Chen's arm and said, "Of course you are welcome. It's just that I didn't expect the Emperor to come here. I thought you would go to the two new concubines."
Xie Chen lowered his eyes, and seeing someone clinging to him, the corners of his lips curved up. He stretched out his arms and pulled her into his arms: "Tingyue is so clingy. If I went to the new concubine tonight, I'm afraid you would cry, right?"
Pei Tingyue leaned forward and said stubbornly, "I wouldn't do that!"
Xie Chen looked down at her.
This look was too sharp, and Pei Tingyue could no longer pretend. She hugged Xie Chen's neck and said a series of words angrily: "Okay, okay, I will cry."
"I am extremely jealous!"
"Your Majesty, please promise me that even if a new concubine enters the palace, you will not forget me, the old one!"
This performance is like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
While being afraid of being abandoned, he clumsily begged for his owner's love.
Xie Chen laughed and stroked her back. "I'm not someone who gets bored easily. I promised Tingyue that I would never forget you."
Pei Tingyue leaned on his shoulder and muttered, "Your Majesty, you can't go back on your word."
She pulled up the hand that was as slender as Hsinchu's and hooked it with her little finger.
Afterwards, she curved her eyebrows and said arrogantly, "It counts once it's stamped!"
"Well, it counts." A smile appeared in Xie Chen's deep eyes.
The two laughed and joked for a while.
Xie Chen moved his neck: "Has Tingyue bathed?"
Pei Tingyue responded.
Xie Chen hesitated to speak.
Pei Tingyue noticed something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Why is the emperor silent?"
Xie Chen leaned close to her ear and whispered, "This dress was put on by Tingyue herself. Wouldn't Tingyue take it off herself?"
The warm breath sprayed on Pei Tingyue's ears, and her body went limp. When she heard these words, her face became even more flushed.
She turned around and scolded: "Your Majesty..."
Before I could finish my coquettish behavior, I felt dizzy.
Xie Chen picked the person up and walked out without question.
The side room in the rear hall of Changle Palace was not big. A large pearwood barrel behind the screen took up half of the space. On the small table next to it were placed flower petals, scented dew, clean towels, clothes, etc.
After Pei Tingyue tested the water temperature, she resigned herself to her fate and began to serve him, undressing him.
The jade button on his waist was easy to undo. Pei Tingyue put the things away and then stood on tiptoe to undo the buttons on his collar.
The two of them were so close that Xie Chen could smell her fragrance.
The fragrance is faint, but it lingers straight into the heart, making people feel even hotter.
Xie Chen's eyes darkened and his Adam's apple twitched.
After entering the water, he pulled the person into the bucket.
Suddenly water splashed everywhere.
Pei Tingyue was pulled into the water without any preparation and was shocked, but she did not choke because a hand in the water held her firmly.
The fairly large bathtub suddenly became cramped, with flower petals floating on the water. The two sat face to face, and Pei Tingyue could clearly feel the touch and warmth of the other person's body when their skin touched.
The next moment, her whole little face was held up by someone.
"Do you blame me?"
Pei Tingyue looked over through the mist and heat, her face blank. "What?"
Xie Chen spoke in a low voice, finishing his words: "Just now at the banquet, Concubine Qin gave you a hard time, and I didn't speak up for you. Did you feel bad?"
Pei Tingyue lowered her eyelashes and forced a smile on her lips: "I know that Concubine Jieyu is the emperor's cousin, and the emperor still has to give her face."
Xie Chen ordered: "Look at me."
Pei Tingyue's thick eyelashes trembled before she opened her eyelids again and looked over.
Even though she concealed it well, Xie Chen still noticed the sadness in her eyes. He sighed and explained, "I didn't say anything, not to give her face, but for you."
Pei Tingyue was surprised.
Xie Chen stroked the soft flesh of her cheek with his thumb and said softly, "If I frequently interfere in the disputes between the concubines in the harem, it will definitely bring you trouble. That's why I didn't speak for you, but waited for the Queen to speak."
Pei Tingyue's beautiful eyes lit up.
Xie Chen continued, "If Concubine Qin insists on doing what she wants and even the Queen can't stop her, I will protect you even if it involves some risks."
Pei Tingyue's eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of shimmering lights. She seemed to be unable to believe it and hurriedly asked, "So, the emperor has a concubine in his heart?"
Xie Chen narrowed his eyes, and laughed angrily at these words. He called her by her full name for the first time, "Pei Tingyue, I think you have no conscience."
If it was any other concubine, he would not care about it.
If it were her, he would have considered it carefully and told her the pros and cons because he was afraid that she would be sad.
How could she even ask such a question?
Could it be that she doesn't feel the indulgence I show her on a daily basis?
Pei Tingyue smiled slowly, and this time it was a sincere smile.
It was one thing for her to know that the emperor had feelings for her, but it was another thing to hear the emperor admit it in person.
She originally thought that it would take some time for the emperor to understand her feelings, but it seems that the emperor has already understood.
Not only did he understand, he also changed his mind and didn't want her to become the target of public criticism.
In other words, he didn't want her to be a pawn anymore.
She struggled for a long time and finally changed her original fate.
In a blink of an eye, Pei Tingyue suppressed his chaotic thoughts and responded to these words.
Xie Chen was originally feeling helpless, but suddenly he noticed her abnormality. He frowned slightly and slowly wiped away the tears from her face.
"Why are you crying?"
Pei Tingyue's voice was a little nasal due to her tears. She raised her bare white arms out of the water and hugged the person in front of her, "I am just too happy."
Xie Chen raised his eyebrows at her bold action, but he did not push the person away. Instead, when the person came close to him, he pinched her slender waist underwater and pulled her towards himself.
Pei Tingyue buried her head in the crook of his neck, her tone filled with endless nostalgia: "This concubine is crying with joy. What I have been seeking all my life, I have finally obtained it today, that's why I am crying."
Xie Chen's eyes grew thicker and thicker: "What Ting Yue has always wanted is for me to have you in my heart?"
How can you be so provocative?
Pei Tingyue's eyes were filled with affection. "In the past, I thought that my admiration for His Majesty was my own, and I didn't dare to expect anything from His Majesty. Later, His Majesty became more and more fond of me, and I began to have some unreasonable expectations in my heart. I hoped that His Majesty would have me in his heart, not too much, just a little bit would be enough. I didn't expect that today, this wish would come true."
This heartfelt confession softened Xie Chen's heart.
He couldn't help but kissed her delicate lips lightly, and promised: "Be good Tingyue, and I will give you more."
The two hugged each other in the water for a while.
Pei Tingyue raised her bright little face and said boldly: "I am very well behaved now. Will the emperor not reward me for being so good?"
Xie Chen lowered his head.
"You asked for it yourself, you are not allowed to refuse it later."
