Chapter 26: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Concubine

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty! I can't let you in!"

The guard spoke with a shy tone, his face red to his ears, as if he was feeling something indescribable.

The Royal Concubine certainly did not understand his behavior.

"You are bothering me like this. I'm afraid something has happened to the Emperor?"

The guard is a personal bodyguard named Ayi.

He was ordered to protect the emperor till death and grew up with him since childhood.

However, it was also the first time he saw the emperor being so fond of a concubine.

He defended to the death, "My queen, please go back! The emperor will come to you when he wakes up."

But there were constant noises coming out from inside, and it sounded very strange.

The Royal Concubine looked at the guard again and her face turned red again.

Suddenly I understood a little.

"you mean……"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is inside."

“What!!”

The Imperial Concubine put one hand on her waist, frowned, and had a hint of anger on her face. She said angrily: "You mean, Concubine Li can enter, but I can't? You are so arrogant!"

The guards felt a little aggrieved. They had already suffered a robbery of their wealth by Concubine Li yesterday, and today they had to be tortured by the brain of this Royal Concubine.

Why does the emperor have so many women in his harem?

None of them are normal.

"Your Majesty, what I meant is that Concubine Li is resting with the Emperor."

Rest! Isn't that just serving you in bed?

These words were like a bolt of lightning striking the Imperial Concubine's head.

"This damn bitch, not only did she take the emperor out to play yesterday without calling me, but she actually took advantage of me going to bed early and came here in the middle of the night to seduce the emperor. Today, I want to see how she sticks to the emperor!"

In the end, I could only leave angrily.

Guard:……

I would really appreciate it!

Chu Li managed to sleep until noon before getting up. She had been tormented by Shen Yan for a long time and still didn't get enough sleep.

Shen Yan also loved her, and when he woke up, he prepared breakfast for her.

The accompanying maids were all surprised when they saw the dark circles under Concubine Li's eyes: "Your Majesty, did you not get any sleep all night?"

Hatsuri got up, looked at herself in the mirror, and touched her face. "Don't say I didn't sleep all night. I was forced to stay awake. Men are so scary!"

After getting up, she kept yawning. When she reached the door, she saw the Imperial Concubine standing in front of her, which frightened her awake.

"My dear consort, what are you doing here?"

"You bastard! I will follow you closely today and see how you seduce the emperor."

Hatsuri: ...

No, is this person sick?

The Emperor was discussing matters with the local officials, while Hatsuri was either swinging on the swing or lying paralyzed in the yard.

Only the Imperial Concubine would have the leisure to analyze what Hatsuri did.

At night, when the emperor finished his work, he saw Chu Li waiting for him. He was about to go over and hug her to relieve his stress, but there was a sound of rubbing and a dark shadow flashed in front of him.

What was that just now?

"Your Majesty, shall we go out and play? I heard that the night view in this area of ​​Jiangnan is very beautiful. This is my first time out of the palace. Why don't you go with me to see it?"

The Imperial Concubine held the Emperor's hand and kept shaking him, almost shaking him away.

Chuli looked at this scene and sighed in surprise: In this world, the noble concubine is the only one who is fighting for favor. In reality, she is probably a desperate woman.

The emperor was annoyed by her and didn't want to get entangled with her any more, but he had no choice but to answer: "Okay."

The Imperial Concubine obtained permission and deliberately showed off in front of Hatsuri.

In the evening, the three of them were walking along the waterfront market in the Jiangnan area.

Before the sun sets, people who have started to set up stalls to sell snacks are already pushing their carts on the road. People who are tired after a hard day's work also choose to stop in this night market to smell the incense, or have a taste to comfort themselves for such a hard day.

Under the cover of night, this place becomes a maze of hidden temptations.

So began a round of delicious stews.

The Imperial Concubine took the Emperor's arm in the crowd and pushed Hatsuri aside. She said in a very sweet voice, "Your Majesty, shall we go take a boat ride to see the moon? I heard yesterday that you can see the moon falling from the sky on the boat."

Shen Yan's face darkened as he warned, "Call me Master Shen outside!"

The imperial concubine lowered her head and said aggrievedly, "Yes, I understand."

Hatsuri and Shirari glanced at her, and then she set her eyes on the sparkler show in front of her. She immediately got between the two of them and pointed, "Let's go watch that!"

The imperial concubine pushed her out again, saying in disgust: "I... I don't want to watch. I'll get all dusty and dirty my new clothes. Sir, let's go take a boat ride and relax."

Hatsuri got in between the two again and said sarcastically, "Hey, how come we, the noble ladies who are so arrogant and dignified, don't dare to watch a firework show?"

The Royal Concubine was not fooled by her provocation. "I won't watch it. Please don't take such a noble young man to watch such a low-class and fake performance, okay?"

At this time, Shen Yan was having a headache because of the quarrel between the two of them.

"The sparkler show is still interesting, so it's okay to go and see it."

Chuli smiled complacently and shrugged, saying: There's nothing we can do.

When three people walk together, there must be a dog.

Hatsuri had to find a way to get rid of this bitch.

The spark show is an acrobatic performance where several people jump around in a ring of fire to show off their thrilling side to win the crowd's love and then receive a reward.

Shen Yan didn't care about these things, he just watched it because Chu Li wanted to.

But the imperial concubine held his hand tightly and refused to let go. Then he came up with an idea and waved to the imperial concubine, asking her to come closer.

Seeing that the emperor was so intimate with her, the imperial concubine felt shy and even pushed him away.

The emperor is really annoying.

Shen Yan: …

He had no choice but to turn his head and say a few words. The imperial concubine's face instantly turned red, and then she quickly left the place. Before leaving, she still looked charming and shy.

When Chuli saw the noble concubine leave, she asked curiously, "How did you get rid of her?"

The emperor took her hand and rushed out of the crowd.

The hand holding her was warm and broad, and in the darkness of the night she was held tightly as she ran behind him.

A breeze blew, blowing up the hair of the man in front of him. He held it tightly with a bit of force, as if he was afraid that his beloved treasure would be lost.

Time seemed to slow down, and a warm feeling surged into Hatsuri's heart.

Shen Yan brought her to the dock.

This is what the Imperial Concubine just said.

A boatman on the boat smiled at them, as if he had known about their arrival.

Then the man got on the boat first, turned around, stretched out his hand and said with a smile:

"Madam, would you like to spend a night with your husband?"

Hatsuri looked at the ship, which seemed both prosperous and heavy, and fell into deep thought.

Hmm, he doesn't mean to do it outdoors, does he?

She was afraid that the emperor was so strong that the boat would sway and capsize, and the two of them would drown.

It will be on the headlines of the ancient version of the joke for several years.

She asked seriously, "Is this boat stable?"
