Chapter 81 Not much worse than a good concubine
The blushing noise in the hall continued for a long time.
Xie Chen slowly withdrew his hand and slowly wiped the dripping water from his cold white fingers with a handkerchief.
"Is that enough?"
Pei Tingyue was no longer able to answer him. She lay in the messy quilt, soft as a pool of spring water.
Xie Chen took the swelling-reducing ointment and dissolved it with his fingertips. He then said, "This time, I'll apply the ointment. Don't shout."
Pei Tingyue felt that applying medicine was more torturous.
Her body was flushed with an alluring pink, her breath became increasingly disordered, and she could no longer hold back her vague sobs, which poured out from her lips.
The voice was low and very seductive.
Pei Tingyue pursed her lips. The pain on her lips made her regain some rationality: "Apply medicine, but...it's not healed yet..."
Xie Chen's eyes were filled with darkness, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Not well yet."
…
After applying the medicine, Xie Chen gave her a quick wash and hurried to the bath.
It was a long time before he returned to his bedroom.
Pei Tingyue was already a little drowsy from her sleep. When she saw someone getting on the bed, she subconsciously snuggled up to him.
A smile flashed across Xie Chen's face, and he fell asleep holding her in his arms.
The next morning.
Pei Tingyue opened his eyes first, yawned, and found that there was someone next to him.
She was shocked. Shouldn't the emperor be attending court at this hour? Who was lying next to her?
But then I thought, who else could it be? How could anyone else have the chance to sleep on this couch?
She raised her head quietly and saw the emperor's handsome face.
Pei Tingyue was puzzled.
Could it be that because of her, the king didn’t attend the morning court?
She didn't think she was that attractive, so the only thing left was... rest.
Today is a day off, so the emperor doesn't need to attend the morning court.
Pei Tingyue finally felt relieved and she stared at the face carefully.
The emperor is really stunning and you never get tired of looking at him.
His long eyebrows were sharp and cold, with a natural nobility. His dark eyes, which usually seemed oppressive, were now tightly closed. His nose was straight, and looking down, his thin lips were pursed, with a light color, making him look very kissable.
Pei Tingyue's eyes slowly passed over his outline, and she silently raised the corners of her lips.
When she was brought here yesterday, she knew that even though Concubine Liang had come out, the emperor had not forgotten her.
So she specially staged a drama yesterday to "control" the emperor and make him feel very distressed.
The emperor's behavior really surprised her.
It wasn't the apology that surprised her, but she was panicked. When the emperor held her and comforted her, she could feel him shaking uncontrollably. He was really panicked.
Pei Tingyue slowly exhaled.
She felt that even if she was not as important as Concubine Liang in the emperor's heart, she was not much different.
It was worth it for her to put so much effort into squeezing into his heart step by step.
Thinking of this, Pei Tingyue was in a good mood and leaned over to kiss those pale lips.
Rewards rewards!
Her reward!
I really can't give anything, but I can still give rewards.
Unexpectedly, the moment their warm lips touched, Xie Chen's long eyelashes trembled, and a big hand clasped Pei Tingyue's head, preventing her from leaving.
"pain…"
It wasn't until Pei Tingyue cried out in pain that Xie Chen lazily opened his eyes. He let her go and said, "Who told you to provoke me?"
Pei Tingyue half sat up and stroked his lips gently. The wound from yesterday had not healed yet, and after kissing for a while, a slight tingling sensation continued to come.
Xie Chen also sat up. He slapped Pei Tingyue's hand away and said, "If you touch it again, it will get more swollen."
Pei Tingyue looked at him resentfully.
Xie Chen laughed angrily: "You are getting more and more irritable. It was you who said you wanted to kiss me yesterday, and it was you who came to kiss me today. Now that you are in pain, you blame me?"
Pei Tingyue knew she was in the wrong, so she said stiffly, "It hurts."
Xie Chen sighed helplessly, then took the ointment from the bedside table and applied it on the bright red lips.
While he was applying the medicine, Pei Tingyue saw the bite mark on his finger out of the corner of her eye. After a night, a circle of red scab had formed on the wound, which was particularly conspicuous on his Hsinchu-like hand.
After applying the medicine, she pulled his finger to examine it carefully, and said distressedly, "Did I bite this?"
Xie Chen really liked the way she cared about him, so he said, "It hurts a little."
Sure enough, Pei Tingyue's face wrinkled up, and she quickly took the golden ointment and carefully applied it on the wound.
She felt very guilty: "It's all my fault..."
"Yes," Xie Chen agreed immediately, "so Tingyue has to compensate me."
He put the ointment in Pei Tingyue's hand back on the sandalwood table, then moved forward.
Pei Tingyue pushed him but couldn't move him at all, so she had to remind him, "Not now, I have to get up and pay my respects to the Queen."
"I've asked someone to ask for leave for you."
Pei Tingyue shook her head and refused: "No... wuwu..."
The next moment, someone covered her mouth and blew hot, long breath against her ears.
Pei Tingyue reacted immediately. The tips of her ears turned red, her back felt numb, and her whole body went limp.
Pei Tingyue would be too embarrassed to do this in broad daylight. But at night, after a deep sleep, she wouldn't be embarrassed.
But now it is daytime, and after all the trouble she has made, she doesn't dare to see anyone. The charm between her eyebrows and eyes is too obvious!
Xie Chen had no choice but to ask all the palace maids to leave, leaving only Liang Yao in the outer room. It took him a long time to coax her into getting up to eat.
Pei Tingyue didn't pick up any food for Xie Chen this time and just ate by herself.
But Xie Chen was not as gloomy as he was yesterday, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Liang Yao, who was serving on the side, was speechless.
Yesterday, the imperial concubine treated the emperor so well, but the emperor was unhappy.
Today, Jieyu ignored him and he was very happy again.
Why did he feel that the Emperor was a little...
Well, he's dying, so it's better not to feel it.
*
In Fenghe Palace.
Today's greetings are particularly lively.
As soon as the person who came to Chengming Palace to ask for leave for Pei Tingyue left, Concubine Xie looked at Qin Jieyu with a smile: "It seems that Qin Jieyu was completely wrong that night. Not only was she presumptuous in front of the Empress, but she also said the wrong thing. How can this Pei Jieyu look like someone who has fallen out of favor?"
She still remembered the sarcastic words Qin Jieyu had said to her some time ago. Now that she had found the opportunity to mock her, how could she let it go?
Qin Jieyu's face really turned dark.
She really wanted to call her a vixen, but this was the Queen's palace, and she was afraid of being punished again, so she didn't dare to say anything rude.
I could only endure it.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Xie Xian continued, "Speaking of which, Concubine Qin has been in the palace for some time now, right? I remember that she only slept with the emperor once. Is it because the emperor is too busy with government affairs that he hasn't thought of Concubine Qin?"
After hearing this, many concubines in the palace covered their mouths and laughed.
If the emperor was too busy with state affairs, why would he summon Concubine Pei?
It's obvious that he just doesn't like Concubine Qin.
Qin Jieyu had never been mocked like this before. Her face flushed red and she gritted her teeth and said, "Her Majesty, the virtuous concubine really loves to worry about other people's affairs."
Concubine Xie admired her expression and said deliberately, "I'm outspoken. Will Concubine Qin be angry?"
More than angry, Concubine Qin was almost vomiting blood, but she stubbornly said, "I am still young and have plenty of time to serve the emperor. But the virtuous concubine is not young anymore, and her appearance is not so good... You should also think about how to please the emperor."
Appearance and age have always been a sore spot for Concubine Xie, but no one dared to say it on weekdays. Now that Concubine Qin pointed it out, Concubine Xie's face suddenly turned cold.
