Chu Yuan has been flying kites in the Imperial Garden for quite some time now; everyone in the palace knows it.
Therefore, she was not worried about being accused of conspiracy by Emperor Wei Xian, who thought she was deliberately spying on the emperor's whereabouts and intentionally creating this chance encounter.
As for the matter of painting Emperor Wei Xian on kites, which of the concubines in the harem wasn't eagerly anticipating and waiting for him?
It's all because of love! What could be wrong with that?
Therefore, when Chu Yuan appeared masked, no one found it strange; instead, they subconsciously focused on her figure.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it, she's really lost a lot of weight...
Her waist was so slender it could be encircled by one hand, and her body was well-proportioned and firm, not much different from that of Consort Xin.
It possesses an indescribable upright and alluring beauty, rather than a frail and light appearance.
Subconsciously, people looked at her face and thought that her figure had changed so much after losing weight, so what about her face?
As a result, only a hazy outline could be seen under the veil.
The more you can't see clearly, the more you want to see, and without realizing it, another layer of alluring mystery is added.
Emperor Xian of Wei was no exception.
Chu Yuan secretly observed Emperor Wei Xian's expression and smiled inwardly when she noticed his probing gaze fixed on her face.
On her face, however, nothing was visible: "Your Majesty, I was unaware of your arrival and have offended you. I beg for punishment!"
Emperor Xian of Wei scrutinized Chu Yuan from head to toe with a slightly aggressive gaze, his tone stern and cold, "You are Consort Yuan?"
"It is I, your humble servant, Lu Xueyuan, daughter of the Imperial Physician."
Chu Yuan was poised and graceful, seemingly unperturbed that Emperor Wei Xian had forgotten her. She knelt on the ground, her head slightly bowed, revealing her fair and slender neck, like a white swan bathed in soft sunlight.
"Xueyuan, that's a good name." Emperor Wei Xian's voice remained calm.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan displayed a perfect balance of joy and shyness, slightly raising her eyes before lowering them again. "Your Majesty, I thank you for your praise."
The gentleness of that lowered head is like a water lily, shyly trembling in the cool breeze.
A similar image flashed into Emperor Xian's mind.
When he spoke again, his tone finally became more varied, filled with curiosity: "Why are you wearing a mask?"
"I forgot to light incense last night, and I got bitten on the face by mosquitoes. I'm too ashamed to show my face, so I'm covering it with a veil."
Chu Yuan was open and honest.
Whether Emperor Xian of Wei believed it or not, he observed Chu Yuan again and saw that she was petite and exquisite, with curves that were faintly visible under her thin summer dress. His interest was immediately piqued.
I wanted to take off her clothes and the veil on her face!
But he ultimately held back, thinking that rather than be disappointed by seeing it clearly, it would be better to enjoy the novelty for a while.
Emperor Xian of Wei smiled and asked, "Was it you who flew the kite just now?"
"yes."
"Is the image on the kite of the emperor?"
Chu Yuan: "Yes."
"Why paint me?" Emperor Wei asked the last question, his expression half-smiling, as if deliberately waiting to see how Chu Yuan would answer.
Chu Yuan had anticipated this question and softly uttered her prepared answer, "Unlike my other sisters who are multi-talented, I am only good at painting."
The reason for painting the emperor on a kite is to express the hope that the emperor will soar like a dragon in the sky and roam freely.
"Hmm... I also hope that His Majesty will see this and feel pity for my feelings."
She spoke the second half of the sentence very softly, with unease and trepidation.
There was shame for her own selfishness, and also the shyness of a young girl in love.
Emperor Xian of Wei was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to say that.
She expressed her expectations for him frankly and without reservation, which, compared to grand boasts, revealed a girl's true nature.
He waved his hand, signaling the guards to put down the palanquin.
Chu Yuan remained kneeling, but she was overjoyed. Emperor Wei Xian had gotten out of his sedan chair for her, so she had already achieved half of her goal!
Next, all you need to do is...
A moment later, Emperor Xian of Wei helped Chu Yuan up from the ground, his fingers landing near her ear as he tried to lift her veil.
Just then, a beautiful figure appeared like the wind.
Consort Xin walked sweetly to Emperor Wei Xian's side, tugged at his sleeve, and said with great delight, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly come to the Imperial Garden today? Is it because you are tired from state affairs? How about I accompany you for a walk?"
Emperor Xian of Wei was somewhat fond of the graceful and beautiful Consort Xin.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have favored her twice.
Mainly, she was flexible and uninhibited in bed, unlike those aloof and boring stereotypical ladies from wealthy families.
Seeing that Emperor Wei Xian did not refuse, Consort Xin became even more enthusiastic, "Your Majesty, let's go, let's go! Longtan Lake has recently been stocked with a lot of carp, they are colorful and perfect for pleasing to the eye."
As she spoke, she tried to pull Emperor Wei Xian away in a coquettish manner.
She whispered to Emperor Wei Xian, "Your Majesty, after I last served you, my period, which was due on the sixteenth, has been delayed by three or four days."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xian of Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and his thick, sword-like eyebrows arched upwards. "Xin'er means..."
Consort Xin smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty, I am eager to have a child for you. It has only been three or four days, and it is not yet time to find out. But I am happy whenever I see Your Majesty. Perhaps if I spend more time with you, the chances will be greater?"
"What kind of argument is this?" Emperor Xian of Wei asked helplessly, feeling as if his little concubine was treating him like a fool.
However, he was not angry.
He is cold-hearted, but not unpredictable.
It's just stable indifference.
When Emperor Wei Xian encountered a charming young woman like Xin Changzai, who was beautiful and clingy yet not annoying, he would be more patient.
And what if she really is pregnant...
As Emperor Wei Xian thought this, he allowed Consort Xin to cross her arms and glance slightly in Chu Yuan's direction.
