Qin Ge, "..."
Suddenly, things became a bit tricky.
Knowing that she might anger the king before her, she still had to tell him the truth: "...Your Majesty, this afternoon I had my maids perfume all the clothes."
Jun Chenbi felt a headache coming on.
He squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth and called out, "Xia Ruhai, go to the Clothing Bureau and fetch a clean set of undergarments for Consort Xian!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Xia went without stopping.
After bathing in the side hall, Qin Ge put on a clean, snow-white undergarment sent from the Clothing Bureau. It had no scent of perfume, and the light white silk clung to her body, revealing her neck and ankles, making her skin appear as smooth and beautiful as mutton fat jade.
The emperor, resting his forehead on one hand, raised his narrow, glassy phoenix eyes, which were faintly tinged with a kind of scarlet color, as if his patience was about to run out.
Upon hearing footsteps, the instant one looked up, their gaze locked onto the person with a fierce and bloodthirsty intensity, as if using their eyes as a cage to imprison their prey with nowhere to escape.
It can only be said that Jun Chenbi truly lived up to his reputation as a notorious tyrant in history; just by glancing at him, Qin Ge felt an extreme sense of danger.
The steps that led toward the king paused almost imperceptibly.
The next second, Qin Ge's expression remained unchanged as he took a step.
Upon seeing Qin Ge, Jun Chenbi's gaze softened, no longer filled with aggression. He suppressed his irritation and scrutinized the person, who was dressed in a snow-white undergarment after bathing, from head to toe. A hint of satisfaction appeared in his deep, shimmering phoenix eyes.
The king withdrew his hand from his forehead and, looking down at him, commanded, "Come here."
This is the second time he's called Qin Ge over tonight.
As soon as Qin Ge approached, Jun Chenbi grabbed his arm and hugged him like a pet, sniffing for any unpleasant lingering scents on his body.
Upon discovering that Qin Ge no longer carried the cold fragrance of "Misty Snow Pine," and instead emanated a faint, bitter medicinal scent, his mood, which had been subtly volatile, began to improve.
Qin Ge was completely unprepared for the Emperor's sudden move and, without warning, fell directly onto Jun Chenbi's long legs.
Then, Jun Chenbi pulled him into his arms, his arm across his waist and abdomen, with only a thin layer of clothing between them.
Jun Chenbi's body temperature was slightly cool, but for some reason Qin Ge felt a burning sensation on his waist and abdomen.
Perhaps... the current posture is too intimate.
Qingzhu knew that Qin Ge was a man disguised as a woman, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing this.
Thinking:
Could the young master's identity be exposed? After all, His Majesty seems to want the young master to serve him tonight. If His Majesty demands it, it seems that even a concubine in the harem cannot refuse...
Qingzhu was filled with worry.
Upon hearing the maid's startled cry, Jun Chenbi's sharp gaze fell upon Qingzhu, who was immediately terrified and her legs went weak.
Qin Ge had heard rumors that the young emperor hated women the most and had even killed palace maids with his sword. Qingzhu had just been disrespectful in front of the emperor, and even if she was given death, no one would dare to say anything. However, Qingzhu was a confidante whom he had carefully cultivated and had been loyal to him for the past three years. Qin Ge naturally did not want to see Qingzhu die.
So he spoke.
"Your Majesty, Qingzhu is a maid I brought from outside the palace. She is not familiar with the rules, so please do not blame her."
His voice was neutral, neither overly soft nor arrogant, but gentle and clear, with clear enunciation. Unlike those who were terrified and cried or trembled in front of him, kneeling and begging for mercy, he was not spineless. Nor was it overly sharp. It was like a beautiful woman's delicate hand soothing the violent emotions that were rising in Jun Chenbi's heart.
The sensation of his splitting headache subsided as he smelled Qin Ge's scent, and he no longer felt like killing anyone. Such a small matter wasn't out of the question, given his good mood.
The emperor parted his beautiful, thin lips and said, "Since Consort Xian has spoken up for you... get out of here."
Qin Ge, "..."
Can't this tyrant just speak properly?
However, having achieved his goal, Qin Ge gave Qingzhu a wink.
Qingzhu felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and thanked the emperor before withdrawing.
This "rolling down" refers not only to Qingzhu, but also to Eunuch Xia and his group of palace servants.
In the blink of an eye, only Qin Ge and Jun Chenbi remained in Huayin Palace.
Qin Ge was still sitting on Jun Chenbi's lap.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Qin Ge thought of getting up.
Jun Chenbi wrapped his arms around Qin Ge's slender waist, tightening them slightly as if afraid he would run away, his grip quite firm. "...Where to?"
His tone was lazy, which showed that he was in a pretty good mood.
...They're too intimate.
Qin Ge could feel the warmth emanating from the long legs beneath him, making him restless.
Qin Ge wasn't used to being so intimate with people.
Apart from Huo Beiyuan from the previous world, he has never sat on anyone's lap.
I'm feeling really awkward right now.
He also had a vague worry that his identity as a cross-dresser would be exposed.
after all……
This undergarment is made of light and sheer material.
Unlike formal wear, which can be layered and covered up, it doesn't.
Especially since he was sitting on Jun Chenbi's lap at the moment, the risk of being discovered was even greater.
Qin Ge managed to come up with a very poor excuse, "Doesn't Your Majesty dislike contact with women? I'll get up now."
Jun Chenbi paused, his hand still around Qin Ge's waist. The headache subsided, making the young emperor feel drowsy and lethargic. "You... are an exception."
Qin Ge almost thought he had misheard.
The next second, Qin Ge was pulled onto the bed by Jun Chenbi, who hugged him like a pet and said, "Sleep with me."
Qin Ge, "..."
I feel like a cat being sucked.
And why does this plot development seem so familiar?
Qin Ge opened his eyes wide and looked at the young emperor who had closed his eyes and fallen asleep. He hadn't paid attention to him last night, but now he was being held in Jun Chenbi's arms and sleeping with him. He couldn't move, and all he could see was Jun Chenbi's face. So his focus quickly shifted from everything else to Jun Chenbi's good looks.
Jun Chenbi possesses the exceptionally handsome features bestowed upon him by the Jun royal family, but his usual ruthless nature makes it easy for people to overlook his stunning appearance.
However, now that he was asleep, perhaps because he was no longer bothered by the constant headaches, he was sleeping soundly. Jun Chenbi's eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, his eyelashes were long, his lips were thin and bright, and his face was porcelain white. His sleeping face had an unexpectedly stunning and unguarded beauty.
It has a completely different flavor from Huo Beiyuan's.
Of course, such good looks are only for admiration; Qin Ge has no intention of taking them for granted.
Judging that the other party was probably fast asleep, Qin Ge reached out a hand, pinched Jun Chenbi's hand on her waist with two fingers, gently moved it away, and then withdrew from the king's embrace.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as Qin Ge moved, Jun Chenbi opened his eyes in displeasure, with a lazy air of being woken up from a deep sleep, "Why are you moving around when you're trying to sleep?"
As she spoke, she patted Qin Ge back down.
Qin Ge, "..."
