They had previously gone to see the Empress together, but the Empress had no choice but to go to the Grand Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager went to see the Emperor, expecting him to punish the palace maid. However, after the Emperor spoke to the Empress Dowager, she apparently stopped interfering.
"Just have Su Ma La Gu deliver the message directly: 'The Emperor's harem is his own; he can favor whomever he wants. If you're not willing, find a way to get the Emperor to your palace.'"
Upon hearing this, the harem fell silent. Did they not want to? It was just that they couldn't.
Summer weather is getting hotter and hotter; going outside feels like being roasted alive.
Inside the Qianqing Palace, Mingxiu wore only a light green peony and pearl strapless undergarment, with a gauze skirt underneath, revealing her fair and smooth shoulders and arms. The room was filled with ice, which emitted a chill.
Life has become so comfortable that I've almost lost track of time.
Mingxiu lay on the tatami mat, still holding a storybook in her hand. It was too hot, and no one liked to go out. Even Yinreng was now playing with the various toys that Mingxiu had made for him in his little room and didn't like to go out.
She sighed. This life of eating and sleeping was really no different from her life in her previous life. The only difference was that she had a mobile phone to use in her previous life.
Speaking of her phone, she hadn't used it in ages. Although she could use it in her personal space, she couldn't use it outside. People could come to visit her at any time, so she couldn't access her personal space.
Before, things were alright. Taking care of Yin was still a bit of work, and the day would pass quickly. But now, she couldn't do anything. Putting down her book, Mingxiu wondered if she should find something to do.
"What, nothing better to do?"
Mingxiu quickly got out of bed and bowed:
"Why is His Majesty back at this hour?"
Kangxi walked in, took Mingxiu's hand, and raised an eyebrow.
"What, you don't want me to come?"
Mingxiu pouted and reached out to unbutton Kangxi's outer robe.
"No, Your Majesty, you're wronging me. I was just worried that Your Majesty would be too busy."
Feeling the coolness of the room, Kangxi let out a long sigh, put his arm around Mingxiu's shoulder, and sat on the soft couch, frowning.
"It's too cold in your room, why are you dressed like that?"
Mingxiu giggled, lifting her chin and leaning closer to Kangxi, practically pressing her upper body against him. "What's wrong, Your Majesty? Don't you like it?"
As she spoke, she puffed out her chest.
Looking at the woman's breasts bobbing with her movements, and her slender waist below them, Kangxi swallowed hard.
He narrowed his eyes, reached out and pulled the woman into his arms, then lowered his hand to press the back of Mingxiu's head and kissed her.
The fierce attack, coupled with the hands that were still messing around on her chest, made Mingxiu's body go limp.
After a long while, Kangxi finally released him, looking at the weak man lying in his arms, panting, his eyes still gleaming with a hint of sadness, and let out a cold snort:
"All you do is seduce me all day long. Just wait until I get home tonight, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Mingxiu was still catching her breath when she heard him say that, and she rolled her eyes at Kangxi.
"Well, it's too hot. I'm hot and don't want to wear it. Besides, this is someone else's house, I'm not going outside."
Kangxi glared at her with a stern face and pinched her nose.
"You still want to wear that out? Dream on! From now on, just dress properly so you won't have to worry about someone coming in and seeing you."
Mingxiu was somewhat unconvinced.
"Besides the Emperor, no one would enter without announcing their arrival."
Kangxi snorted coldly
"This entire empire belongs to me, not to mention the Qianqing Palace, which is my territory. Do I need to announce my presence to enter?"
Mingxiu was speechless.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is the most powerful, alright? From now on, I'll make sure I'm properly dressed before you come, okay?"
Kangxi glared at her
"Alright, alright, I won't dress like this again."
His expression softened a little as he looked at Mingxiu.
"You can wear it if you want, just wear it for me tonight when you're with me."
Mingxiu rolled her eyes at him, got up from Kangxi's arms, and put on a gauze robe.
After washing up in the evening, the two sat on the tatami mat, one of them lying down, each holding a book and reading. As they read, Mingxiu put down her book and lay on Kangxi's lap, looking at the person in front of her.
To be honest, this man is a painting even when he's sitting down without any adornment. He's a masterpiece of aloofness and ethereal beauty, a true masterpiece of the Ming Dynasty. Not only is he handsome, but his temperament is also truly outstanding. If he were acting today, very few could outshine him. He's definitely a member of the imperial family.
Yet this very man was always gentle and indulgent towards her, often making her forget his status, forget that he was an emperor with three palaces and six courtyards. It was so easy to fall in love with someone like him. But his rationality always reminded her that this man was dangerous and not someone she could control.
Feeling the gaze of the person in his arms, Kangxi closed the book, put it aside, and looked down at Mingxiu.
"What's wrong? Are you engrossed in watching?"
Mingxiu nodded, her rationality returning, and touched Kangxi's face.
"Your Majesty, you are so handsome! How can we women possibly compare?"
Kangxi chuckled.
"You thought I was handsome, yet you dared to hide from me back then, huh?"
Mingxiu was helpless.
"Your Majesty, it was all too sudden at the time, and I was also afraid of the power struggles in the harem, so I avoided you. Besides, I figured things out later, so I didn't hide anymore."
"Oh, how did you come to this conclusion?" Kangxi asked with interest.
"Of course it's because this servant truly loves Your Majesty, and this servant also believes that Your Majesty can definitely protect this servant, so I don't hide from Your Majesty anymore," Mingxiu said coquettishly, hugging Kangxi's neck.
Kangxi was slightly taken aback, feeling as if his chest was filled with unfamiliar emotions.
No one has ever trusted me wholeheartedly because they like me.
After a long while, he smiled slightly.
Picked up Mingxiu and carried her to the bed.
"Since you trust me so much, I certainly won't let you down, but how will you repay me?"
With that, he gently tossed Mingxiu onto the bed.
Mingxiu smiled sweetly, then lifted her foot and hooked it around the belt of Kangxi's nightgown. Her fair and delicate little foot hooked around the bright yellow belt, making her look exceptionally tender.
With great interest, Kangxi followed Mingxiu's actions and bent down.
Mingxiu pushed with both hands, flipped over and pinned Kangxi down, her fingers like piano keys, plucking the strings and sliding down one by one.
The clothes fell slowly as the hands moved.
Kangxi watched the woman's movements with some excitement. Most of the concubines in his harem had been trained by nannies and were very dignified and generous, so they were not open about matters of the heart. They would do whatever he did, and there was no woman as bold as Mingxiu.
Mingxiu's hand slid to Kangxi's abs and gently pinched them. She was satisfied to hear Kangxi groan softly, then lowered her head to kiss him. Her hand didn't stop, but instead moved downwards, and she felt the man's increasingly heavy breathing.
P.S.: I have to admit that part of what I write is for the purpose of including sex scenes, hehe.
