Chapter 110 Rewards and Punishments
It was quiet in the middle of the night, and the tiny candle flame flickered slightly in the darkness.
When the sound of the skirt being torn rang in my ears, it was particularly clear in the dark night.
Shen Fu was pinned to the edge of the bed, unable to move. She supported the Emperor's shoulders with both hands, not knowing whether to accept or refuse.
She clearly noticed that His Majesty was different from usual. Although they usually stayed on the bed together, their interactions were calm and controlled most of the time.
It wasn't so urgent at all, it was just... like he couldn't wait to take her away from that place.
Thinking of the painting of "Lone Wolf" on the desk, Shen Fu was distracted for a moment.
The person above her seemed to notice that she was distracted, and the hand of His Majesty fell on her waist and pinched her hard: "What are you thinking about?"
A hoarse voice sounded impatiently, and the Emperor leaned over her neck, biting her earlobe with his teeth, as if punishing her.
Chen Fu made a sound of pain, and her slender neck could not help but curl her fingers slightly on the shoulder of Your Majesty, and she could not help but remind him: "Your Majesty, you hurt me."
"You don't take the punishment seriously." Xiao Yu leaned his head on Shen Fu's shoulder. When his hot breath came up, Shen Fu smelled the faint smell of alcohol on him.
Your Majesty...are you drunk?
Chen Fu knew that most men found it difficult to control themselves after getting drunk, and their sexual needs were naturally greater.
Besides, she had heard that drunk women were the rudest. After two pushes and pulls, it's enough. If you really drink too much and hurt yourself, it will be even more unprofitable.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Fu naturally knew what to do at this time.
She put down her hands that were against His Majesty's chest, wrapped them around his neck, and offered her red lips: "If you don't do well, there will be punishment. Then...if you do well, will there be rewards?"
There are so many women in the harem, but none of them has ever asked for rewards as openly as Chen Fu.
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, took back his hand from Shen Fu, and looked at her with a smile: "What do you want?"
This was the first time a concubine openly asked him for something.
This feeling is very rare.
But, to be honest, Xiao Yu is not annoying at all. There are so many concubines in the harem, and they naturally adhere to the principle of clear rewards and punishments when doing things.
Since he has just mentioned punishment, reward is naturally necessary.
Besides, this was the first time Shen Fu spoke to him, and he was more curious about what Shen Fu wanted.
Xiao Yu held Shen Fu's chin with his palm, and when he looked down, he saw her timid look. Her palm-sized cheeks were not made up, and were white under her black hair, but her lips were bright red.
A pair of eyes are bright and clear like a lake, which makes the face look extremely beautiful.
See below...
Chen Fu was sitting on a sky-blue couch embroidered with twined bamboo patterns, her goose-yellow dress half torn open.
The skin as white as jade is revealed, as white and delicate as pearls, and as charming as if it is there and not there.
Her face is extremely beautiful and pure, and her figure is so attractive that you can't take your eyes off it.
The contrast is so great that it is hard to control oneself.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and Xiao Yu asked softly, "What do you want? Tell me."
His Majesty did not agree immediately.
Chen Fu complained in her heart that His Majesty was really cautious and stingy, but on the surface she pretended to be well-behaved.
With her cheek resting on His Majesty's palm, she was as obedient as a cat: "I have never seen my family in Kyoto since I entered the palace."
The Shen and Gu families were not on good terms, so she had lived in Jiangnan with her grandparents since she was a child.
If it weren't for the beauty pageant this time, she would never have come to Kyoto from Jiangnan. But just because of this, Chen Fu would not have entered the harem and become the emperor's concubine.
Shen Fu's path in this life is not the same as her previous life, but since she entered the palace, there has been no news about the Shen family.
She had never met anyone from the Shen family.
Now it is unknown whether Shen Qingru's pregnancy is real or not, but He Cairen's words today have sounded a wake-up call for her.
Since His Majesty has already suspected, then Shen Qingru's belly is a disaster.
What Shen Fu feared most was that the entire family would be implicated because of her.
"I have been raised by my grandparents since I was young. I have always dreamed of seeing my relatives in Kyoto, but I seldom meet them." Shen Fu didn't know whether His Majesty had checked the relationship between her and Shen Qingru.
But although Shen Qingru was an adopted daughter, she was included in the family tree. The Shen family had raised her for more than ten years and she was no different from a legitimate daughter.
An adopted daughter has been raised for more than ten years, but a legitimate daughter has not been seen for more than ten years. They all entered the palace as concubines. As a descendant of the Shen family, she naturally wanted to know who the Shen family was on at this time.
Now, the most important thing for Shen Fu is to meet with the Shen family. She wants to know the Shen family's attitude: "If Your Majesty has mercy, I want to meet my family."
“After saying so much, you just want to ask for this?” Xiao Yu looked at her with his dark eyes, as if he wanted to see into the deepest part of Shen Fu’s heart.
If the concubines in the harem had something to ask for, they would either ask for status and position, or high positions and generous salaries in their family.
But Shen Fu is too honest.
Chen Fu knew what His Majesty meant, but she pretended to be nervous. Biting her red lips tightly, she said deliberately:
"But is this request from my concubine too much?"
Chen Fu's hands were tangled together nervously, and her snow-white fingertips were so tight that they were bloodless. "I know that it is not in accordance with the rules to see my relatives after entering the palace, but I came from Jiangnan to Kyoto, and was sent to the palace without even seeing my relatives."
This was also a thorn in Shen Fu’s heart in her previous life.
She traveled by water and took the Gu family's boat before setting off. On the way they encountered pirates, so they changed to search the boat to avoid disaster.
But because of this, the trip was delayed. As soon as she got off the dock, she was taken directly to the palace by a carriage. She had never even been to the Shen family's gate.
She wants to solve all the mysteries one by one. But if she doesn't find a way to meet the Shen family now, Shen Fu will not be able to find the answers to all the questions in her past life.
"If my request does not conform to the rules, then I can wait." His Majesty did not speak, so Chen Fu had to retreat in order to advance.
"It will be enough if I can see my relatives once."
"You sound so pitiful." Xiao Yu took a step forward and placed his palm on her slender waist. The torn dress could not cover up the scenery inside. When the palm with thin calluses fell, Shen Fu shuddered all over.
The hand was wandering around her waist wantonly. Shen Fu only felt itchy around her waist, but she didn't have the courage to push the person away.
She had no choice but to sit obediently on the edge of the bed, biting her lips tightly, but her face couldn't help but blush.
"Your Majesty." A fragmented voice came out of her throat. Shen Fu's whole body seemed to have no bones, soft and lovely.
The expression in His Majesty's dark eyes gradually became gloomy. The broad palm fell on the torn dress of Shen Fu, and the fingertips with thin calluses tightened quietly.
"Whether it's a reward or a punishment depends on your ability." His Majesty used his palm to grab Chen Fu's hand and placed it on his waist and abdomen: "Be good, untie it for me."
"I will obey your Majesty." Chen Fu bit her lower lip and raised her lip to look at your Majesty.
Her eyes were timid, which was completely different from her charming demeanor.
Through the bright moonlight, a pair of eyes are brighter than the moon hanging outside the window.
Chen Fu hooked up with the Emperor, then lowered her head and put her hands behind the Emperor's waist.
His Majesty's dragon robe cannot be touched lightly. However, Chen Fu had been serving for a long time and was already familiar with the place.
Her hands were as white and tender as scallions, and her fingers grasped the Emperor's robe. With a slight sound, the white jade belt fell quietly.
Next came the black robe. As the robe was taken off one by one, Shen Fu finally let go until she was left with only a pair of shorts.
"Your Majesty." She placed her hands on His Majesty's strong and broad shoulders and chest.
His Majesty has broad shoulders and a thin waist and abdomen. Apart from having higher demands in that aspect, Chen Fu really thinks that His Majesty's children are really good.
"Why aren't you moving?" Xiao Yu glanced down, his thoughts being the same as Ming Jing'er's.
Chen Fu raised her head with an innocent look, and looked at him with blushing cheeks: "I dare not."
Xiao Yu looked down at her, chuckled, and flicked his fingers lightly on her forehead.
"I will let you go for now." The emperor's voice was hoarse, and after he said that, he pushed Shen Fu directly onto the bed with both hands.
The curtains fell quietly, covering up the scenery inside.
Only the dark clouds outside the window fell on the curtains, swaying with the flickering candlelight all night long.
********
The morning light broke through the thick fog, and Shen Fu slowly woke up from her bed early the next morning.
Yesterday was already extremely tiring, and she only felt that the Emperor would let her go at daybreak.
I had just rested for a short while when I felt myself being enveloped by a heat wave. I felt hot and annoying all over, but I couldn't get away no matter how hard I tried.
Chen Fu did not sleep well the whole night and even dreamed that there was a fire next to her. Before he even opened his eyes, he couldn't help but want to push away the heat source beside him.
"Nonsense!" The palm had just landed when the person next to him made an unhappy sound.
Shen Fu's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, and her sleepy mind instantly became clear.
Why is His Majesty by my side?
Chen Fu looked at the sun hanging high outside the window, and then looked at the impatient face of the Emperor beside her.
His Majesty's brows were tightly knitted together, his eyes were not yet opened, and his face was as drawn as a donkey's, obviously he was extremely displeased.
She reached out and quietly pinched her thigh, and couldn't help but gasp for air.
It hurts... it's real.
Shen Fu was completely confused. She knelt on the bed and said tremblingly, "My Lord, why haven't you gone to the morning court yet?"
Isn’t this the time for morning court?
His Majesty has been on the throne for many years, but he has never missed the morning court. But it's already three in the morning, why are you still lying here?
Could it be that I was too tired last night and couldn’t get up?
When Shen Fu thought of this possibility, she felt darkness in front of her eyes, but seeing the impatient look of His Majesty, she didn't even dare to push him.
He could only kneel beside him and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, it's time to get up and attend the morning court."
Xiao Yu was called up again and again. His brows were furrowed so deeply that he could almost pinch a fly to death.
"Shut up." He growled impatiently, and directly stretched out his hand to clasp Shen Fu's back, pressing her into his arms: "Don't make a sound."
It's not about whether she can make a sound or not.
Chen Fu had all kinds of associations in her mind. If others knew about this, the Emperor would think that she was not attending the morning court.
How about the previous dynasty? How about the harem?
Shen Fu really couldn't bear the accusations of being a foxy woman and seducing the emperor.
She had a sad face and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to hook the Emperor's sleeve. The palm-sized face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and the timid voice was begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please get up."
"Hurry up and get up for the morning court."
Chen Fu kept repeating these two sentences over and over again, making those who were disturbed unable to have peace.
Xiao Yu took a deep breath, raised his hand to his forehead, and rubbed his eyebrows deeply: "Are you monks chanting?"
It’s because I’m afraid that you won’t attend the morning court, and then the rumors in the harem will implicate me!
Shen Fu was complaining angrily in her heart, but she looked innocent on the surface. Blinking her eyes, she covered His Majesty's lips with her hands and said delicately:
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. This is blasphemy against the Buddha."
"Tsk..." Xiao Yu impatiently pulled Chen Fu's hand away, but did not let go of the hand that he was holding. Instead, he changed positions very naturally.
He has strong yang energy, so his body temperature is naturally hot. It gets even hotter in the summer, which is very different from Shen Fu's delicate and cold jade.
Before, he only felt that Shen Fu's body was smooth and tender, like a piece of tofu that made him unable to let go.
I hugged you all night last night and I felt really comfortable!
With his slightly hot palm placed on Shen Fu's lower abdomen, Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and showed a rare bit of patience.
"I'm going to take a day off today." After finally getting a day's rest, he was woken up by her calling like a fly early in the morning.
Xiao Yu twisted her belly gently as if to punish her, and her flat belly shrank slightly, looking so pitiful.
"Mu...Mu Xiu?" Shen Fu stuttered completely.
It would have been fine if His Majesty hadn't mentioned it, but once he did, she remembered it. His Majesty has a rest day every month, but...
Before, I always went to Concubine Rong’s place.
Although Concubine Rong was not favored, the Emperor would go to her palace to rest every 15th day of every month to show his respect.
The next day, the concubines would take a bath and pay their respects, and this became the rule.
She had forgotten last night that it was the fifteenth, so...did His Majesty rest in the courtyard on purpose?
Shen Fu pondered over this in her mind, and Xiao Yu played with her belly happily: "What's that expression on your face?"
"I...I don't have any expression." Chen Fu really couldn't act.
His Majesty's failure to go to see Concubine Rong seems to be no better than not attending the morning court.
She had a sad face.
His Majesty was naturally dissatisfied after seeing this. He stroked Shen Fu's belly, and couldn't help but say, "Last night, I was tired and begged for mercy and wanted to rest."
"I work hard every day, so why can't I take a day off?"
Shen Fu was really shocked. What on earth is His Majesty's face made of?
How can it be so thick?
She was angry and anxious, and looking at the Emperor's hands on her waist and abdomen, she couldn't help but want to dodge away.
Xiao Yu noticed her thoughts and gently twisted the hand on her lower abdomen.
Shen Fu was about to beg for mercy, but she felt a surge of heat coming from under her body.
Her lower abdomen suddenly ached, and she couldn't help but hold her stomach and groan, "Your Highness."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu looked at Chen Fu's painful expression and thought she was pretending.
But when he looked down again, he saw a pool of bright red blood under her.
The emperor's face turned pale in an instant, and he turned around and shouted angrily, "Call the imperial physician!"
