I patted my round belly and watched Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao smile as I took the dishes away. The first day of March was such a good day!
"My lady, you should digest your food," Xiao Cui said to me with a smile on her lips. "You have taken off the bandages today, and His Majesty will definitely come to see you."
"What does looking at me have to do with asking me to digest food?" I replied casually, wiping the corners of my mouth with the prepared silk handkerchief.
Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao smiled at each other, their laughter making me dizzy. Finally, Xiao Tao winked at me and said, "My lady, you are well now. You must go to bed with me."
! ?
The feeling of amnesia came flooding back, and I subconsciously asked, "Have I ever served in bed before?"
After asking this, I felt like my question was nonsense. How could she not have slept with the emperor even though she was Concubine Mu? But I really didn't have the slightest recollection of it.
"Pfft—my lady, you—" Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao both laughed at me. Xiao Tao looked proud, "For a while, His Majesty almost only came to our Chenxiang Pavilion! Moreover, you are the first concubine to be granted a bath in the Lanqing Pool and stay overnight in Chengqing Palace by His Highness!"
"Is that so..." I laughed dryly. After I finished speaking, Xiao Cui said respectfully, "So, my lady, please go walk in the yard to digest your food. I will prepare hot soup for you to bathe in later."
"Okay." I nodded blankly, feeling inexplicably uneasy. Perhaps it was because the loss of memory made me feel too unfamiliar and nervous.
The afterglow faded and night fell quietly. I got up from the warm bathtub, got dressed, dried my hair, and then Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao helped me lie down on the bed.
When they were about to leave, I nervously held their hands and asked, "Was I... like this before?"
They covered their mouths and laughed: "How did this servant know..."
"But the young lady usually lies on the inside..." Xiao Tao whispered to me: "I almost always see the young lady lying on the inside every morning..."
"Oh." I responded and shrank to the inside of the bed. They had already walked out the door side by side without turning off the lights for me. They probably left it on for Song Heng.
I took many deep breaths and closed the windows tightly so that I couldn't see the sky outside. A loud shout of "The Emperor has arrived" outside the door gave me goosebumps for the first time.
When Song Heng opened the door, I turned to look at him. He was dressed in a dark blue suit, and his tall figure walked towards me like a handsome young man in a storybook.
He looked a little confused: "Just want to sleep?"
I watched him standing beside me as he slowly sat down on the edge of the bed. He asked gently, "Has the swelling gone down after the bandages were removed?"
I nodded, and he smiled: "You are tired from playing today, right? So you lie down on the bed. OK, then I'll go turn off the lights."
Before I could reply, he had already walked over to the lampshade and turned off the light. Suddenly, the room was dark. I could only vaguely make out his figure walking towards the bed, and the goose bumps that had just subsided seemed to rise again.
In the past, I just leaned against him and listened to his stories. At that time, I was not in a good mood and did not pay attention to these things. Today, after hearing what Xiao Tao and Xiao Cui said, the things that I usually didn't care about were suddenly raised to my throat.
He took off his coat and hung it on the rack. The moment he lifted the quilt, I shivered - probably because the wind that came in was too cold.
Then he lay on his back on the outside, and I also lay on my back, just tilting my head to look at him - there was still a distance of one person between us, and only the sound of breathing was clearly audible in the dark night.
I tensed up and observed him for a long time, but he seemed to have closed his eyes and didn't speak. This strange silence made me even more panicked.
If we're sleeping with him, we definitely can't be this far apart. So, as a concubine serving His Majesty, should I take the initiative to move closer? Has it always been like this?
After much hesitation, I cautiously moved closer to him.
I was nervous, not because I hated him, but because I couldn't remember anything due to amnesia, so I felt a little unfamiliar with him. Thinking of this, I pursed my lips and resolute my actions.
He still didn't move. The distance I just moved was actually very small, so it was still possible to put another person between us.
Unable to turn over directly, I cautiously reached out my right hand to his side, hoping to use the force to move myself over.
After carefully moving a short distance, there should be only a fist's width of distance between us.
Song Heng suddenly spoke up: "Chen Shuang, are you...still feeling unwell?"
I was startled by the sudden voice and came to my senses, thinking about what he said - is it really because I didn't do it well enough? I didn't do it well enough before, so he thought I was still feeling unwell?
"No, I'm fine!" I closed my eyes and quickly turned around and hugged his arms with both hands - this should be fine now...
So what then? What then? Am I going to do it too?
???
I only felt his arm move slightly, and Song Heng's voice seemed to have changed slightly: "You - what's wrong?"
So it’s not finished yet, so do you really want me to do it all?
I wanted to cry but couldn't, my heart almost collapsed, I trembled and let go of my arms.
Hmm... should you take off my clothes first, or his clothes first...?
I believe that in the dark night, my facial features must have been twisted together with frustration, and I couldn't go on with my hands hanging in the air.
When he seemed to be about to get up, I simply hugged his arm and opened my mouth, only to find that my voice was extremely aggrieved: "Your Majesty... I'm sorry, I, I can't remember how to sleep with you... I really don't know..."
He seemed stunned. After an unknown amount of time, he could only hear his voice hoarsely: "You... step back first."
I thought he was angry with me, so I could only retreat to the inside of the bed obediently. The darkness made me even more nervous because I couldn't make out his expression.
