Chapter 324 The Skinny Horse from Yangzhou Sent to Disrupt the Country (21)
However, there was a cunning glint in Qingwu's eyes, as if she had already expected the prince to have such a reaction.
Even the movement of fingertips fiddling with the tassels reveals a sense of leisure, like a cat playing with butterflies.
Shi Qi Jin suddenly realized that he had lost his composure in this gentle place. He wanted to put on a stern face, but when his eyes met Qing Wu's half-smile, his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
He never thought that a flower in the deep palace would make him feel more panic-stricken than the swordplay on the border.
"Your Highness, I am now in charge of the six palaces. I am your stepmother, and my position is equal to that of the Vice Queen. Naturally, I can ask Your Highness to pay my respects, and I can also ask these concubines to pay their respects."
"So—there's nothing wrong with me punishing these unruly concubines. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Shi Qi Jin was in a panic and couldn't make out what Qing Wu was saying, let alone pay attention to Concubine Luo's eagerly expectant gaze.
It was not until Qing Wu said the word "concubine mother" that Shi Qi Jin came back to his senses, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile that seemed as cruel as usual.
Normally, when Shi Qi Jin showed such a smile, it meant that someone was going to be in trouble.
But now, it feels very unnatural.
Shi Wenjin didn't even dare to call himself his "father".
Qingwu actually said that she was his mother. How dare she?
Besides——
The original anger was extinguished by that pretty face.
Shi Qi Jin thought angrily, she looks so young, how can she look like his mother?
She’s about the same age as him, so it should be his...
Qingwu looked at Shi Qijin with interest, his thoughts wandering again.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very rich mind.
Some things are more convenient now.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Qingwu suddenly shook her nail-stained jade hand and hooked her finger at Shi Qijin.
Shi Qi Jin felt as if his feet had taken root, but as her eyes moved, he suddenly became weak and took steps as if possessed by a ghost.
Under the horrified gaze of Concubine Luo, Shi Qi Jin approached Qing Wu step by step, and finally lowered his head slightly in front of her, as if he was submitting to her, to facilitate the woman's actions.
Qing Wu seemed very satisfied with Shi Qi Jin's obedience. She gently touched Shi Qi Jin's cheek.
The delicate touch left a series of numbing marks on the face, which was slightly rough after being exposed to wind, sun and battles on the battlefield, and then spread instantly and gradually.
A tingling sensation spread along the skin of his neck, and goose bumps appeared on the back of his neck.
His Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably, and he made a slight swallowing sound.
Shi Qijin's face turned red again.
She, she, she...
What is she doing? !
Are you seducing him?
Isn't his 'Father Emperor' capable?
Yes, he has been in the cold palace for so long that he looks thin and small. With so many concubines, I am afraid he has been drained out of his body.
Shi Qijin thought maliciously.
Unlike him, he is still a young man.
whee.
He spent all his energy on the battlefield and should be full of energy now.
"Why, Your Highness the Crown Prince, have you considered paying your respects to me?" Qing Wu smiled, her beautiful eyes moving as she looked at Shi Qi Jin with a half-smile.
Seeing that he remained silent and seemed to be thinking about something, I couldn't help but tease him.
When Shi Qijin heard Qingwu's voice, he suddenly came back to his senses and realized that—
At this angle, he was so close to Qingwu, the beauty's gorgeous and extremely charming face was staring straight at him.
He could even see the fine hairs on Qingwu's face.
Seeing such a flawless and extremely beautiful face so close to him, Shi Qi Jin actually felt a sense of awe.
As Qingwu looked slightly surprised, Shi Qijin suddenly took the initiative, quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed Qingwu's wrist.
The force was controlled just right, completely restraining Qingwu without causing her any pain.
The fair wrist was surprisingly thin, as if it could be crushed with a little force, but it left delicate red marks in his palm, like a drop of cinnabar splashed on the snow, burning his fingertips and making them numb.
Seeing that Qingwu finally changed his relaxed expression, Shi Qijin was a little proud. Look, don't underestimate him.
Shi Qi Jin looked at the fair wrist in his hand, and a wanton and casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Your Highness...I can call you, but Your Highness, please consider the consequences carefully."
He didn't know where he learned it from, but he frivolously stroked Qingwu's wrist, seeing Qingwu's increasingly surprised look.
She continued, "It's still unknown how long Shi Wenjin can remain emperor. Your Majesty, please don't be so quick to make a decision."
"However..." He glanced at Concubine Luo who was standing beside him, "Except for me. As the head of the harem, the Imperial Concubine will naturally handle the rest of the people at her discretion."
Such words, coupled with the ambiguous caressing movements, have far exceeded the scope of normal "mother and son" and can be regarded as teasing.
Qing Wu was a little surprised. If he hadn't seen Shi Qi Jin's completely red earlobes, he would have thought Shi Qi Jin was some old hand.
He is truly a teachable child, Qingwu thought.
At such a close distance, Qing Wu could even clearly hear Shi Qi Jin's powerful and extremely rapid heartbeat, like a trapped beast desperately banging against a cage.
The man's expressionless face and his composure made it impossible to tell that his heart was beating so fast.
Almost up to her ears, all she could hear was the sound of her heartbeat like a drum.
Qingwu chuckled in her heart, feeling quite tough.
Then she would try harder and see how long Shi Qi Jin could hold on.
Qingwu moved closer to Shi Qijin and breathed maliciously on the ear that was getting redder and redder.
"Your Highness..." She deliberately kept the ending tone very light, and the hot air that overflowed from between her teeth was like an invisible snake, crawling along his earlobe and into his collar.
Shi Qi Jin suddenly tensed his back, but when he lowered his head, he saw the Dongzhu pendant swaying below her collarbone, drawing fan-shaped shadows on her snow-like skin with her breathing.
Shi Qijin's Adam's apple rolled involuntarily. He wanted to swallow his saliva, but found that his mouth was already dry. Even the "hmm" sound he made was hoarse and cracked.
"Your Highness, are you really unwilling to bow your head?" Qingwu's voice sounded in his ears, gentle yet with a hint of provocation. "I just want to hear Your Highness's greetings once. What's wrong with that?"
Luo Jieyu watched the crown prince and the imperial concubine flirting in front of her, and no one cared about her pale face.
