Chapter 16: Sleeping
Shen Yuling seemed to suddenly remember something and asked softly, "Where am I now?"
"The palace."
Quan Minghe uttered two words lightly.
"The Imperial Palace?!"
Shen Yuling couldn't help but widen her eyes, and her voice unconsciously rose a few notches.
But he was afraid of disturbing something, so he lowered his voice quickly.
Asked carefully: "Then...then how do I get back?"
"I will have someone take you back tomorrow morning at the end of the Yin hour."
"Will we really not be discovered?"
Quan Minghe raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't want to pay attention to her trivial questions. He was the emperor and there was nothing he couldn't do after promising something.
But seeing her frightened look, he still patiently answered.
"Won't."
Shen Yuling breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the hand that had been tightly holding Quan Minghe.
But as soon as she loosened her hand, Quan Minghe grabbed her wrist.
He exerted force on his hands and Shen Yuling fell into his arms.
"Although you don't have the title of imperial consort yet, you already have the status of an imperial consort."
"This palace is the Yaohua Palace where you will live in three months."
Quan Minghe's lips gently pressed against Shen Yuling's earlobe, and his warm breath sprayed on her ear.
Shen Yuling's body suddenly felt numb.
"so."
Quan Minghe paused, lifted her chin and forced her to look at him.
"Tonight, you sleep with me."
Shen Yuling's cheeks instantly turned pink.
The bright and charming face looked even more attractive in the ambiguous atmosphere, and Quan Minghe couldn't help but reach out and pinch it.
"Can we, really, do this? I...I..."
Shen Yuling stammered, feeling shy and nervous.
Quan Minghe did not respond to her, but untied his belt.
The gorgeous dragon robe loosened in an instant, revealing the inner garment.
Shen Yuling shyly turned her head away, her voice as low as a mosquito: "I can't."
You know, before entering the palace, every imperial concubine would have a nanny to carefully teach her the many matters of sleeping with the emperor, but she had never experienced such a scene.
"I will teach you personally."
A faint smile appeared on Quan Minghe's lips.
He took her soft little hand and placed it on his collar, then took her hand and undressed himself.
Soon, Kwon Myung-hyuk's inner clothes also fell to the ground.
He has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his strong body is exposed in front of Shen Yuling without any cover.
On his chest, there was a bite mark left by Shen Yuling this morning, which was particularly eye-catching.
When Quan Minghe saw Shen Yuling staring at his chest, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why, do you want another bite?"
"I...I don't dare anymore."
Shen Yuling lowered her eyes.
He is the emperor, who dares to hurt him easily?
Quan Minghe put Shen Yuling on the bed. She subconsciously pushed him away with her hands, which happened to fall on his chest.
His brows were furrowed, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
He whispered, "It will hurt, I'm afraid..."
Quan Minghe thought back to her first time. He was indeed a little rough and didn't consider her feelings.
Gently comforting: "Not this time."
There was a hint of tenderness in his tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Quan Minghe's hands began to make the delicate flowers bloom.
"At such a young age, he has developed quite well."
When Shen Yuling heard this, a faint pink color instantly appeared on her fair skin, spreading from her cheeks to her entire body, which was extremely charming.
With rosy cheeks and in the atmosphere of confusion and passion, Quan Minghe finally couldn't hold back and began to conquer the city.
Time passes slowly.
Shen Yuling went from being accommodating at the beginning to becoming limp and weak later on.
She leaned softly against his shoulder.
The voice was soft and sticky: "Your Majesty, aren't you tired yet?"
Quan Minghe did not say anything.
He just reached out and stroked her white and smooth back, again and again, his movements gentle yet possessive.
The lust in his deep black eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Intense and hot.
He did not answer Shen Yuling's question, but used practical actions to let her feel whether he was tired or not.
“Hmm…”
Shen Yuling couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her delicate body trembling slightly.
…
I don’t know how much time had passed, Shen Yuling was in a daze and didn’t even know when she fell asleep.
-
Quan Minghe woke up slowly, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a pressure on his shoulder.
He couldn't help but frown and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.
Quan Minghe never stayed overnight in the concubine's palace, but last night, he and Shen Yuling were so affectionate for too long that he felt exhausted and fell asleep like this.
Shen Yuling really had never learned the rules of the palace and she fell asleep leaning on him.
Quan Minghe pulled away his numb arm.
Perhaps Shen Yuling was too tired last night. Despite all the noise, she showed no sign of waking up.
Quan Minghe thought that she had never learned the rules of the palace, so he didn't bother about it for the time being.
However, she still needed to return to the Prince's Mansion before daybreak.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and pinched Shen Yuling's pink face, once, twice...
"Um……"
Shen Yuling was tormented like this and groaned and made a few unclear sounds.
His eyes were still tightly shut, unable to open at all.
"You're still not awake. Are you not going back to the Prince's Mansion today?"
Kwon Myung Hyuk's voice rose slightly.
The words "return to the Prince's Mansion" instantly woke Shen Yuling from her sleep.
Her curly eyelashes trembled, and her eyes suddenly opened, still a little sleepy.
When Quan Minghe saw her wake up, he reached out and pulled the bed curtain tightly, then turned around and walked out.
"Li Ming."
As soon as Quan Minghe came out of the inner room, he called out.
Li Ming, who had been waiting outside for a long time, walked in quickly and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty."
"Tell someone to help Concubine Shen wash up."
“Yes.”
Li Ming responded, but he was shocked in his heart.
Named as a concubine?
This is a big deal. In the harem, her status is only second to Liu Zhaoyi.
And the Yaohua Palace has always been famous for its unparalleled luxury. Before, Concubine Wang had begged His Majesty many times, but His Majesty had never agreed to give it to her. Now, he gave it directly to Concubine Shen who appeared out of nowhere.
It looks like the harem is going to be lively again.
At dawn, His Majesty's imperial edict of enthronement caused an uproar in the harem.
Everyone in the harem heard that His Majesty had appointed a concubine named Shen and granted her the luxurious Yaohua Palace.
I also heard that Concubine Shen was not in good health, and no one was allowed to enter Yaohua Palace without the emperor's order.
What's more, it is said that all the palace maids and eunuchs in Yaohua Palace were appointed by His Majesty himself. Even Liu Zhaoyi, who has been in charge of the harem for many years and gave birth to two princes for His Majesty, could not find out any news about Yaohua Palace.
The most shocking thing is that His Majesty actually stayed overnight in Yaohua Palace last night!
…
Concubine Wang was almost going crazy because of Concubine Shen who appeared out of nowhere.
She had been in the palace for two years, and had won the favor of His Majesty with her beauty, and had tried her best to please His Majesty.
When Concubine Shen came, not only did she have a higher position than her, but she also had less favor than her. How could she not be angry? !
Liu Zhaoyi was originally considered rational and calm.
But Your Majesty is so special to a woman. She gave birth to two princes for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has never treated her like this.
Her heart couldn't help but panic...
When Zhao Liangren, who had just entered the palace, heard the news, she was secretly glad.
Now that this person has come and attracted the attention of all the concubines, Concubine Wang is fully focused on finding out about Concubine Shen, and finally she will not cause trouble for her anymore.
