Chapter 104: Ten Canes of Punishment
Jiang Yingli suddenly felt a little nervous. She got up from Xiao Chenglan's arms, put her hands on his knees, and looked up at him with her innocent little face.
"How will Your Majesty punish me?"
Xiao Chenglan slowly stroked Jiang Yingli's cheek with the back of his hand and spoke softly:
"Last time I punished you, I said I wouldn't visit you in Zhaohua Palace for half a month, but I couldn't bear to leave you alone, so I made you stay in Changyang Palace for half a month. Now that the deadline is up, I should send you back to Zhaohua Palace. You should calm down alone."
Jiang Yingli turned her head away, her cheeks puffed up slightly, and complained, "Your Majesty is really so naive, as if it wasn't Your Majesty who was pestering me every day. Fine, I'll go back if I want to. I'm leaving now!"
Jiang Yingli moved slowly towards the edge of the couch.
Xiao Chenglan lay at the head of the bed, his right hand resting on his forehead, looking at her leisurely.
Seeing that he really didn't want to keep her, Jiang Yingli got angry and threw herself into Xiao Chenglan's arms, angrily punching his chest.
Xiao Chenglan grabbed her fist and said gently, "Be obedient, Li'er. There are so many eyes in the former court and the harem staring at you and me. If you continue to act recklessly, you will really become a tyrant emperor and a seductive concubine."
Jiang Yingli naturally understood that Changyang Palace was the emperor's bedroom, so how could she possibly live here forever.
However, seeing His Majesty's indifferent look, she became unhappy.
In this case, she had to make His Majesty feel uncomfortable.
In a flash, Jiang Yingli came up with a good plan. She bit her lip and smiled, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Chenglan looked at her with a half-smile in his eyes, "What are you going to do?"
"Your Majesty, I can't bear to leave you. I'd better eat and rub your majesty before leaving."
After saying that, Jiang Yingli looked at him and smiled, then curled up into a ball and pulled the quilt to cover herself.
Xiao Chenglan's Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably. He reached out and patted the bulging quilt, his voice low and hoarse.
"Dear Li'er, come out. I want to watch you."
The voice from under the quilt was muffled, "No, it's okay."
In the past, Jiang Yingli didn't like this and complained about the hard work, so he didn't let her come.
I don't know where she got the interest from today.
Xiao Chenglan's whole body was tense, the veins on his forehead were visible, and he let her act recklessly without any purpose.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Jiang Yingli lifted the quilt and stood up.
After a short moment of silence, Jiang Yingli's face turned red and adorable. She stuck out her tongue at Xiao Chenglan, then swiftly got off the couch, clutching her skirt, and ran out of the hall without even putting on her shoes.
"Li'er, come back!"
Xiao Chenglan called out, and Jiang Yingli ran even faster like a rabbit, her back revealing her smugness after her prank had succeeded.
Xiao Chenglan looked at her fluttering skirt and her lively and beautiful back, smiled to himself and shook his head.
He is becoming more and more wanton. First he ordered people to assassinate the empress dowager, and now he even dares to bully the emperor.
Xiao Chenglan's eyes were full of doting as he slowly leaned back against the head of the bed.
As for...
Xiao Chenglan glanced at himself and pressed his brows with a headache.
**
The Empress Dowager was seriously injured, and Xiao Chenglan cancelled the concubines' visits to the Wanshou Palace every first and fifth day to pay their respects on the pretext of recuperation, and everyone was happy and at ease.
On the first day Jiang Yingli was exiled back to Zhaohua Palace, Xiao Chenglan turned over Jiang Yingli's nameplate again.
As soon as Xiao Chenglan entered the hall, he saw Jiang Yingli, who was still waiting to receive him in a huff.
"When Your Majesty sent me back last night, didn't you ask me to calm down? It's only been a day, and I haven't calmed down yet. Why is Your Majesty here again?"
Xiao Chenglan pretended not to hear and did not answer.
He glanced at Jiang Yingli standing at the door and squeezed in.
"Blocking me again? You're really becoming more and more spoiled."
Xiao Chenglan scolded her for being spoiled, but his expression was gentle and indulgent.
Seeing him enter the hall so openly, Jiang Yingli chased after him, boldly put her arms around his, leaned on him, and said softly:
"But His Majesty seems to like my temper."
Xiao Chenglan smiled silently, letting her cling to him softly with one hand, and with the other hand behind his back, he led her into the inner hall.
"I came here today because I remembered something." Xiao Chenglan said.
Jiang Yingli was sitting next to him with a cup of tea. She took a sip and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Xiao Chenglan smiled faintly, stood up and walked to the couch. After sitting down again, he slowly reached out to her.
"Come here first."
Jiang Yingli was a little confused, so she put down the teacup in her hand and took a few steps towards him.
"What's going on? Your Majesty, why are you so mysterious?"
Before she even got close, Xiao Chenglan took her hand and said calmly:
"Last time I punished you with half a month's punishment and ten strokes of the cane. I haven't given you the ten strokes yet."
