Chapter 30 Belly Rub
Outside the window, the setting sun took up its last rays of light, and the thick night gradually spread across the sky.
Before leaving, the palace servants and eunuchs had already lit various palace lanterns in an orderly manner, and now it was as bright as day in the hall.
The emperor walked forward, looked at the girl's abdomen with complicated eyes, and asked again in a deep voice: "What were you doing just now?"
Yang Manyan's face was slightly hot, and he stammered, "Your Majesty, I ate too much at dinner just now, and my stomach is not feeling well, so I asked Xingyun to help rub it for me."
She was originally half leaning on the chaise longue, but now she sat up straight and stiffly.
Xiao Ke sat down on the embroidered stool beside her. Although he was in private, his sitting posture was still as straight as a pine tree.
"Lie down." He pushed the girl down again.
A large hand with distinct joints rested on her belly through her clothes. It felt soft to the touch, and her belly button was slightly bulging. She was definitely full from eating too much.
Yang Manyan felt mixed emotions, but dared not say anything. She could only let the man's big hand gently rub her stomach.
"Why are you so well behaved today?" the emperor suddenly asked leisurely, with a probing look in his eyes.
Yang Manyan pursed his lips, secretly complaining in his heart, but still said tactfully: "Your Majesty has brought me to the West Garden. If I don't obey, I will only bring trouble upon myself."
"You are quite right." The emperor raised his thin lips slightly, very satisfied with her cleverness and obedience.
If she continued to stay with his son, there would be endless troubles. Fortunately, it was very rare for him to be interested in a woman, and he was confident that he would never follow in his brother's footsteps, so this arrangement was very appropriate.
The candlelight in the hall flickered, casting the intertwined shadows of the two people.
Somehow, Yang Manyan's heart moved, and she secretly lifted her eyelids to look at the man in front of her.
If you don't look closely, you wouldn't know that he looks extremely similar to the prince, with deep facial features, slanted phoenix eyes that are like bright stars, and sword-like eyebrows that slant into his temples.
One is tall and thin, the other is burly and strong; one is gentle and dignified, the other is sharp and serious. Their body shapes and temperaments are so different that it is easy for people to overlook their similar faces.
Yang Manyan couldn't help but recall Concubine Wei Shufei whom he met the day before.
There is no resemblance between her and the Crown Prince's mother. Perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks like the late Emperor Yongshun?
Emperor Yongshun and His Majesty are brothers from the same mother and they look similar.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Concubine Wei's inexplicable breach of appointment yesterday, and a very subtle and strange feeling arose in her heart.
While her thoughts were wandering, Xiao Ke also lowered his eyes to look at her.
She hadn't had time to wash and dress since she woke up. Her thick, soft black hair was casually scattered. She was wearing a light yellow nightgown. Her skin was whiter than snow and her cheeks were rosy. She was so beautiful that her skin was so tender that water could be squeezed out of it.
Yang Manyan was lying on the chaise longue, enjoying the massage of the man's big hands on her belly.
The emperor's throat was tight, his face was tense, and his dark eyes seemed to be brewing a storm.
But as the girl gradually fell asleep, the lustful thoughts in his mind instantly vanished.
After a moment's silence, he leaned over, picked up the girl on the chaise longue, and moved her to the golden nanmu bed on the other side of the hall.
