Chapter 3: Beautiful Daughter of an Aristocratic Family vs. Middle-aged Emperor with No Heir 3
"Your Majesty, this woman is covered in wounds and has marks on her face. Maybe she encountered bandits on the road and escaped death before meeting your Majesty. If you can save her life, it will be your Majesty's mercy."
Liu Dewang is the chief eunuch in the palace. He has been serving the emperor since he was a little prince. When it comes to guessing the emperor's intentions, he is undoubtedly the best.
The emperor said "hmm" in a light tone, then got on his horse and said, "Let's go back to the palace."
Ji Yunhuan finally felt relieved and fell into a deep sleep amid the bumpy ride in the carriage.
When she woke up again, it was already daybreak.
She had not had a good night's sleep since she was locked up in the nunnery. The nuns in the nunnery tortured her as much as they could, waiting for her to die when she couldn't bear it anymore.
Last night was the most comfortable sleep she had had in days. The soft bed, the warm quilt, the elegant incense, these things that were easily available in the past have now become a luxury.
“Squeak…”
The door was pushed open, and Ji Yunhuan shrank to the corner of the bed, hugging the quilt, like a frightened little rabbit.
The emperor turned his head and glared at Liu Dewang beside him, but he did not feel much anger in his heart.
"What are you still doing here? Get out of here!"
Liu Dewang knew that His Majesty was not really angry, so he left quickly and considerately closed the door before leaving.
The emperor sat at the table with a dignified manner, and subconsciously wanted to ask someone to serve tea. When he met Ji Yunhuan's sparkling eyes, his heart softened, and he condescended to pour himself a cup of tea and took a sip carefully.
Forget it. Women outside the palace definitely don’t know the rules, so he won’t care.
"Are all your injuries healed? Does it still hurt?"
The emperor thought his tone was gentle, but the woman was frightened and shook her head in panic.
"No...it doesn't hurt anymore. Who...who are you? Men and women should not touch each other. Please...please get out, young master."
The emperor chuckled. It turned out that this woman didn't know his identity yet. That was quite interesting.
"I don't know who was holding on to my clothes yesterday and wouldn't let go, and why is he turning his back on me today?"
Ji Yunhuan's little face turned red instantly. She got off the bed in a hurry and accidentally hit her head against the bed frame. She whimpered in pain.
"I'm... I'm sorry! Thank you for saving my life, sir. I am very grateful."
The emperor was in a good mood and laughed even more happily. "It's good that you still remember. I think that you should repay me for saving my life. What do you think, young lady?"
Liu Dewang, who was guarding the door, heard the emperor's laughter, and his heart finally settled down. It was this woman's ability to make the emperor smile.
He had accomplished this mission. If this woman became favored in the future, she would definitely remember his kindness.
Ji Yunhuan stood there awkwardly, her ears turning red with embarrassment.
Facing the emperor's teasing gaze, she bowed with gritted teeth and whispered:
"Sir, please don't joke with me. How can someone like me be worthy of you?"
The wounds on her body had been treated and she had changed into a clean middle garment.
The clothes didn't fit her well, the top was too tight and the pants were too long. When she got out of bed, she accidentally stepped on the leg of her pants and hit her head.
When performing the ceremony, the cloth naturally slid down, revealing her icy skin and delicate bones. No man could resist such an impact. The emperor took a deep breath, took a sip of tea, and suppressed the heat in his heart.
Ji Yunhuan used "Deer Run" again. This prop has no limit on the number of times it can be used, but it can only be effective on one person.
The emperor suddenly stood up. He boasted that he had seen countless women and had always had great self-control in matters between men and women, but today he just couldn't help himself.
He never treats himself badly. Once he has desires, he will naturally relieve them.
The emperor was tall and had long legs, so he reached the bed in two or three steps.
Ji Yunhuan was just at his shoulders, his thin body shrouded in his huge shadow, and a huge sense of oppression came over him.
“Don’t be like this…”
Ji Yunhuan reached out and pushed the emperor's chest. She didn't use much strength, but her soft and boneless little hands pressed against the emperor's hot chest, as if she was flirting with him.
The emperor held the person in his arms and untied the belt of her shirt with a light hook. He covered her with his broad palm, leaving a dark red mark.
Ji Yunhuan cried like a kitten, her body twitching, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
“No…don’t…”
The emperor let go of the person in his arms, his desires aroused, and asked coldly, "Are you really unwilling?"
Ji Yunhuan closed her clothes with trembling hands, and tried to tie the belt several times but failed. She shed many tears in anxiety. She was sweating all over and her face was flushed.
Taking this opportunity, Ji Yunhuan used "Floating Fragrance" again.
"Subtle fragrance floating in the air": the unique body fragrance of a beauty, which is unforgettable and lingers in your mind!
The emperor suddenly smelled a wonderful fragrance, which was not the incense lit in the house, but the fragrance emanating from the woman.
This woman is really a stunner, she even has her own body fragrance!
If she gets on the bed and becomes passionate, she will definitely be even more charming and attractive.
The emperor's anger dissipated instantly. As the emperor, why should he bother with a woman?
"Okay, stop crying. I'm not going to eat you."
Ji Yunhuan wiped away her tears and finally tidied herself up. She blinked her big wet eyes and looked at the emperor cautiously.
"Although you saved me, I am not willing to marry you without a matchmaker or a marriage proposal. I will always remember your life-saving grace, and I hope you will respect yourself."
It was the first time someone said such words to the emperor, and it was quite fresh.
The emperor sat lazily on the bed, and suddenly had a teasing thought, "So, you want me to arrange three matchmakers and six betrothals before you agree?"
Ji Yunhuan stood beside the bed and found that he was almost as tall as the seated emperor.
The emperor had broad shoulders and a long body. He had practiced martial arts for many years and had a strong physique. Apart from his status as an emperor, he also had a good appearance. It was just that he had been in a high position for many years and was intimidating without even getting angry, so no one dared to look at him recklessly.
Compared to that weakling prince of a marquis's mansion, the emperor is really a good match.
Ji Yunhuan pretended to be shy and lowered her head. After a long while, she sighed and said, "Even if you go through three matchmakers and six betrothals, I still don't want to."
"Young Master has an extraordinary demeanor, he must be a wealthy and powerful person. Yunni is just a little nun in Shuiyue Temple, she has no talent and no virtue, she is really not worthy of you, young master, please don't tease Yunni."
"Please send me back, sir. I will burn incense and pray to Buddha every day, praying for your safety and long-lasting blessings."
