Chapter Seventy-Nine
Seeing Xu Heming's unapproachable demeanor, Eunuch Liu felt a little uneasy. However, considering that this was ultimately the Emperor's will, he smiled and stepped forward to Xu Heming, saying, "Your Highness, it's your turn."
Although Xu Heming was unwilling, he had promised the emperor that he should finish the performance even if it was raining knives from the sky.
However, Xu Heming exuded coldness throughout.
The concubines, seeing Xu Heming with his robes half-exposed, momentarily forgot to react.
Is this the Prince An, who always has a dark expression?
"Is this man really Prince An?"
One of the concubines excitedly grabbed another person's hand and asked.
"Is...is that right?" The concubine blushed, thinking to herself, "Today's banquet is really too exciting."
Not only were there refined and cultured officials like the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices.
There's even someone as wild as Prince An.
In the palace, there was only the emperor as a man.
With so much porridge and so little meat, the concubines were all a little taken aback by this erotic scene.
I even wondered if this was a dream. If it was a dream, I wished I could have more of these dreams.
Li Zhiwei blushed and looked at Xu Heming, whose clothes were half-exposed, not far away. She swallowed and thought to herself, "Is this the kind of performance that a naive girl like me can watch?"
"Your Majesty," the Empress said, glancing at Zhu Jingchen beside her, though she hesitated.
Speechless.
What kind of emperor would invite his concubines to watch men perform this kind of show?
Wasn't he worried that these concubines might have developed disloyal intentions?
Or perhaps he felt that he was still young and didn't need to worry about these concubines having affairs?
"Your Majesty, do you think this performance isn't exciting enough?" Zhu Jingchen was getting into it when he realized that Xu Heming was quite suited to acting.
It's a pity; this is probably the only chance I'll get him to perform for me.
After all, Xu Heming is not easily fooled.
Especially since he could get Xu Heming to put on such a performance that disregarded his dignity, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to trick him next time.
"Your Majesty, do you think it's not exciting enough?" The Empress sighed, looking at the concubines below staring at Xu Heming like wolves. Did he even know what he was saying?
Those were all his concubines!
"If Xu Heming took off his shirt, it would be even more interesting," Zhu Jingchen replied earnestly, resting his chin on his hand.
"Your Majesty! You only have eyes for Prince An?" The Empress glanced helplessly at Xu Heming, then quickly looked away. To be honest, he was quite something.
Do not look at what is improper! Do not look at what is improper!
As the Empress, I cannot harbor ill intentions towards any man other than the Emperor!
"Your Majesty, don't be nervous. You have to watch this performance with all your heart. Otherwise, you won't be able to see such a performance again in the future. I won't be able to let Prince An perform such a program next time." Zhu Jingchen stared intently at the stage.
Afraid of missing something, he looked back and couldn't find a reason to tease Xu Heming.
"Your Majesty, this performance..." The Empress really didn't know how to complain.
You can watch it yourself, but why bring your concubines along?
"Does the Empress mean that I should enjoy such a wonderful performance all by myself? I was just thinking that life in the harem is rather dull, so I wanted to add some fun for everyone. Besides, it would be embarrassing if I watched it alone. If I dragged the Empress along to watch it together, others would definitely find an excuse to criticize you. Now that everyone has watched it, no one can say anything to anyone else, right?"
The Empress was taken aback and actually felt that the Emperor's words made some sense; she couldn't keep this 'wonderful' performance to herself with the Emperor.
