Chapter 25: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Concubine

Shen Yan was a little tired after the journey, but he found it difficult to refuse Chu Li's request.

She nodded in agreement, and the wanton boy walked behind the girl in the rain, one was lively, the other was quiet.

The servants were holding umbrellas for them.

Chu Li loves to eat, and she bought all the snacks in the whole alley.

Many people were unaware of the emperor's tour this time, and he only brought his personal guards with him. When the emperor got off the carriage, he had no money, so the guards had to pay for it all.

After this round, he had very little money left.

The guard was about to cry: My lady, please buy less! We are out of money!

The imperial concubine didn't like shopping, so she chose to stay in the restaurant early to get ready and wait for the emperor and that woman to come back.

Finally I was tired of shopping.

Hatsuri took her food and sat aside, wanting to take a rest.

Nearby, people were flying lanterns, and the rain had stopped for an unknown period of time.

The light of the lanterns illuminated the entire dark night.

Chuli threw the food to the guards and took the emperor to light the lanterns.

"Your Majesty, let's light lanterns too!"

Shen Yan knocked on her head and warned her: "Call me Shen Lang when you are outside."

Chu Li pouted her lips, and although she was a little shy, she still said in a very awkward way: "Shen Lang, shall we also light lanterns?"

Shen Yan looked doting: "Very good."

Chu Li selected two lanterns, signaled Shen Yan with her eyes to write down her wishes, and deliberately said in a teasing tone: "My dear, do you have any wishes that you need the Lantern God to help you realize?"

There was a hint of loneliness in Shen Yan's eyes, and even his smile was less, and his tone was a little lost: "Everyone wants me to fulfill their wishes, but what wishes do I need to fulfill?"

This was the first time that Chuli heard a person who was a Son of Heaven, an emperor of a great dynasty, call himself "I" in front of a person of such a small status as herself.

It is not "I" or any other self-proclaimed title.

At this moment, he was more like an ordinary citizen, an ordinary person, throwing away all the halo and pressure of his emperor status.

It was at this moment that Hatsuri felt distressed.

When he sits in this position, he is no longer thinking about himself.

She held the lantern, held the emperor's hand and said warmly: "My beloved husband, there are so many things you want to achieve in this life, but you can do what you want now. Although you are the emperor, you are also my husband. I only wish that you will be safe, happy and get better. What do you think, my husband?"

The breeze blew by, gently touching Shen Yan's heart.

The words he wanted to hear, the things he wanted to do, the love he wanted to have, all seemed to be ignited little by little by Hatsuri at this moment.

He longs for a loving family.

But the truth is only the cruel succession to the throne, the endless memorials to be reviewed, and the ministers who are full of undercurrents.

A word: my husband.

They seem like an ordinary couple in their daily life.

He smiled slowly, the corners of his lips curled up, and looked at her with surging love in his eyes. He picked up the lantern without writing a wish on it.

With my wife by my side, the best days are now.

"My lady, my husband wants too much, but this moment is enough."

This moment is satisfying.

The next second, I heard a sentence: "We still have a long, long way to go. Maybe if you just say what you want, it will come true. If you can't get it, then I will help you get it."

There was sincerity and certainty in the woman's eyes.

Shen Yan was somewhat touched for a moment.

"good."

By the time they returned, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Because the purpose of the trip was to travel and understand the local people's customs, Shen Yan concealed his true identity and pretended to be the most wealthy businessman in the capital.

As night falls, the beauty of Jiangnan truly stands out.

The reflection of the moon in the pool is simply beautiful.

Hatsuri's legs were numb from walking, so the three of them went into their own rooms.

As the saying goes, when three people walk together, there must be one light bulb.

That is the so-called noble concubine.

It was already very late when they got back, and the imperial concubine had fallen asleep waiting for them to come back.

Only Hatsuri realized this!

The emperor didn't get a good night's sleep before he set out, and he had to take care of himself on the road and accompany him for so long, he must be very tired.

Thinking of this, Chu Li felt a little guilty.

After she had tidied herself, she hurried to the emperor's room.

The guard saw her coming again and was so scared that he dared not look at her directly. He just let her in without saying a word.

Help! How could the emperor marry such a wasteful woman?

He secretly swore in his heart that his future wife would never do this.

Hatsuri climbed onto the emperor's bed wearing only a thin dress.

At this time, Shen Yan was already physically and mentally exhausted and had no energy to care about the beauty next to him.

All I heard was: "Your Majesty, I'm here to sleep with you!"

In an instant, his body subconsciously told him: It's OK! Not tired!

Shen Yan held her waist, very intimately.

"Why are you so proactive today?"

Hatsuri said apologetically: "I know you are tired but I tortured you like this. I feel a little guilty about this and want to come over and sleep with you to make it up to you!"

The next second, Chu Li was pressed hard under Shen Yan.

She was a little terrified: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you doing!"

No way, do we still need to do it after all this...

"It came to my door, I can't refuse it."

"And Li'er, sleeping is only a small part of the compensation. The real compensation is you..."

As expected, when Chu Li heard the word "Li'er", she knew what was going to happen next.

Then the lips were blocked, and even the bed made a protesting sound.

Chuli pushed him away and questioned: "It's like this, are you still okay?"

"We men cannot say no."

Afterwards, another night of spring breeze passed.

The next moment, the guards only heard bursts of female voices coming from the room, sometimes soft, sometimes loud.

He ran away quickly with a red face.

He was a happy and cheerful guard until he came to Jiangnan with the emperor.

The next day, the air was cool and the south of the Yangtze River seemed more vibrant after the rain.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls into the windows of the house.

The scent of lemon flowers lingers in the air in the early morning, and gusts of morning breeze blow across your face, bringing cool and cheerful feeling.

After being tormented all night, Hatsuri opened her eyes dizzy and a little confused. She looked at the man sleeping next to her and touched his chin with her hand.

Long eyelashes and that straight nose.

At this moment, I felt a soreness all over my body. It was really because of the intense exercise last night...

What's more, I can't even lift my legs.

Somehow, the man next to me was alarmed.

Then he was pressed down again and received the first shot of the morning.

The Royal Concubine got up early at this moment and wanted to serve the prince herself, but she saw the guards standing outside the door with red faces.

The Imperial Concubine found his expression very interesting and asked, "Are you embarrassed to be guarding the Emperor's door?"

The guard said nothing. When she saw the imperial concubine was about to open the door, she immediately stopped her and said, "I want to go in and serve the emperor. Why? Are you going to stop me?"

The guard remained silent, but his face had turned red.

Then she heard a sound coming from inside. The imperial concubine thought quickly and said hurriedly: "Hurry up! Something happened to the emperor in there!"
