Chapter 71 Hidden Beauty
When the vermilion carved lacquered wooden door made a sound, both people in the room were stunned.
Shen Fu lowered her head and looked at herself sitting on His Majesty's lap. The hem of her tulle skirt had slipped from her neckline, revealing her round and delicate shoulders.
One inch further down, the snow-white skin was faintly visible under the collar.
She was now in a disheveled state, and most importantly, she was still wearing a palace maid's dress. If the Concubine Shu pushed the door open and saw her...
I'm afraid people would think she was the little palace maid who deliberately seduced His Majesty.
Shen Fu's heart beat slightly.
She wanted status, but she would never allow it to be done in such an embarrassing way. If Concubine Shu saw her like this today, it would be a humiliation she would never be able to erase from her life.
She decided not to allow such an ugly thing to happen to her.
Shen Fu weighed the pros and cons for a long while, pretended to be frightened, and hooked the robe of the emperor: "I'm afraid."
She spoke in a delicate tone, and her hands, which were hooked around His Majesty's robe, were shaking back and forth. Xiao Yu lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand that fell on his robe.
Chen Fu's hands were small, and they looked even whiter and tenderer against the dark robe. No concubine had ever dared to do this to him before.
Although this was the first time I had this feeling, strangely enough it wasn't disgusting.
Xiao Yu let Shen Fu hook his sleeve and act coquettishly.
He turned his head and shouted at the door: "Stop!"
The emperor roared, and Concubine Shu, who was standing at the door and was about to open it, froze in her tracks.
She had dressed up beautifully today and came to see His Majesty unintentionally.
During this period, His Majesty seldom came to the harem, and even visited her less frequently. Concubine Shu thought about it carefully and realized something was wrong.
Although Your Majesty was not a lustful person before.
But not setting foot in the harem for more than half a month was unprecedented.
After thinking for a long time, Concubine Shu decided to go to the Qianqing Palace to find out the truth. I never thought that I could detect the movement inside while standing at the door.
It was just a guess at first, but now it seems that there is indeed someone in this room.
Concubine Shu stood there, looking extremely ugly.
"Your Majesty, I'd better take you back." Lin An, who was standing beside her, was so scared that beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like soybeans.
"Your Majesty, it is not convenient for you to see me now."
Concubine Shu pushed away Lin An's hand. The Emperor had doted on her for so many years, when had he ever left her at the door like this and ignored her?
She looked deeply towards the door. It was as if he wanted to see the scene inside clearly through the screen with the white crane spreading its wings.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you." Concubine Shu stood at the door and instead of leaving, she shouted at the door.
Since she was sure there was someone inside, how could she be willing to leave like that? Concubine Shu looked deeply towards the door. She wanted to see what the person who could seduce His Majesty looked like.
With a sneer, Concubine Shu continued to shout loudly inside: "The sun is blazing outside. I have come here with great difficulty. I beg Your Majesty to see me."
Shufei's voice came from outside. Xiao Yu held Chen Fu's waist with one hand and placed his other hand on his forehead.
Obviously, he didn't expect Concubine Shu to be so bold. Even though he had ordered no one to come in, Concubine Shu still had the guts to stand at the door and not leave.
If it were someone else, they would never do such a thing.
In the entire harem, only Concubine Shu dared to do so.
"I have something to do now." Xiao Yu pinched his brows angrily, his tone already impatient: "Let's talk about it another day."
Concubine Shu stood at the door with a bitter look on her face.
Normally, His Majesty would never let her stand at the door, but now that she begged like this, His Majesty still wouldn't let her in.
"My queen, you'd better go back." Lin An put his hands in front of him, his legs going limp with fear.
He knew who was inside. Besides, His Majesty valued Miss Shen Fu so much that if anything happened to her, his lives would not be enough to compensate.
"I really have something urgent to report."
However, today Concubine Shu was bolder than ever before.
Even if His Majesty asked her to leave, she was determined not to go. I have to see who it is and what kind of face it is.
"I really have something important to report, and I hope to see you, Your Majesty." As Concubine Shu said this, she waved away Lin An's hand that was blocking her way and walked in quickly.
"Empress!" Lin An was behind her, his voice almost broken with fear, and he followed Concubine Shu with a pale face.
But unfortunately, Concubine Shu walked very fast, and Lin An couldn't catch up with her even after jogging all the way. He could only watch Concubine Shu rush in.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Shu shouted as she rushed in.
Chen Fu sat in His Majesty's arms, and she really didn't expect that Concubine Shu would be so bold. After hearing the sound of the crystal curtain, she turned pale with fear and quickly hid in the arms of His Majesty: "Your Majesty!"
Before Xiao Yu could react, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed Chen Fu's waist.
Turning his head, he fiercely said to Concubine Shu who rushed in: "How dare you!"
The emperor's fierce voice frightened Concubine Shu so much that her face turned pale.
She stopped and stood there, looking at the emperor's fierce expression. She turned her head again and looked deeply into his arms.
She came in too quickly just now, so she didn't even see what the person in His Majesty's arms looked like.
A quick glance only revealed a rough outline.
Now she looked carefully into His Majesty's arms, and at one glance Shufei felt darkness in front of her eyes.
The woman sat astride the Emperor's lap. Her figure was slender and delicate, with skin as white and delicate as snow.
The tulle slid down from the neckline, revealing a round and delicate shoulder. She hid delicately in the arms of His Majesty, looking very charming and seductive.
When Concubine Shu saw this, she felt dizzy.
She thought of countless possibilities to prevent the Emperor from going to the harem and staying in the Qianqing Palace. Who is the woman who even scolded himself?
She had thought about the concubines in the harem who were favored and those who were not favored countless times.
But what I never expected was that it was actually a palace maid!
At this moment, she was held in the arms of His Majesty and loved very much, and he even taught her a lesson for her.
She was actually a palace maid of lowly status and humble status!
How dare this bitch compete with me?
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Shu looked into His Majesty's cold eyes, suddenly shouted, and raised her hand to point at the person in His Majesty's arms.
The fingers she stretched out trembled slightly. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you scolding me for such a woman?"
Concubine Shu had a look of great grief on her face, and she was swaying slightly as she stood there.
She was so proud, but at this moment her face was full of vulnerability. There were tears in her eyes, lingering in her eye sockets but refusing to fall.
After all, she was a woman he had loved. When Xiao Yu saw her, the coldness in his eyes faded a lot.
"Shufei, you are too ignorant." He had told her not to come in, but Shufei just barged in regardless.
If we forget his words, where will his majesty and the authority of the emperor be placed?
How can this not make people angry?
But even so, the emperor's tone was much calmer.
How could everyone present not hear it? Shufei's eyes flashed, and as she looked at His Majesty, the aggressiveness in her eyes disappeared.
After all, His Majesty still cares about himself.
She's just a lowly palace maid! Concubine Shu glared at Chen Fu fiercely. So what even if she served His Majesty?
What ability does she have to dare to compete with me?
"Your Highness." After thinking through the pros and cons, Concubine Shu's voice suddenly softened.
The whole person suddenly became calm, like a hedgehog without its quills, and his aggressive attitude disappeared in an instant.
"It was my ignorance that made His Majesty angry." Concubine Shu raised her face and said this.
She was born with an extremely flamboyant appearance, her beauty was eye-catching and her pretty was domineering.
It is like a blooming peony, breathtakingly beautiful. For so many years, she has been so favored that no matter how bad her temper is, the Emperor has never punished her too much because of her face.
Concubine Shu knows where her advantages lie.
She deliberately bent her knees and bowed her head, the golden peony hairpin on her head swaying, revealing a stunningly beautiful face under the slightly swaying tassels.
"Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Chen Fu was sitting in His Majesty's arms. She caught a glimpse of Concubine Shu's appearance from the corner of her eye and was filled with admiration.
Whether it was a coincidence that Concubine Shu came today or not is not the point for now, but it must be said that Concubine Shu is quite smart.
Knowing that His Majesty is angry, he deliberately shows weakness. No matter how fierce he is to others, he is still weak in front of the Emperor.
With this contrast, coupled with Concubine Shu's flamboyant and eye-catching face, it is no wonder that His Majesty has doted on her for so many years.
It’s just that Concubine Shu cares too much about His Majesty. No matter what her temper is, she will instantly become soft after just one word from His Majesty.
She couldn't help but shake her head in her heart, and glanced at Concubine Shu's still bent knees.
Shen Fu's body, leaning in His Majesty's arms, trembled deliberately.
The woman in his arms buried herself in his arms like an ostrich, her slender waist and body trembling slightly.
Xiao Yu thought she was scared, and patted her on the back as if to comfort her: "It's okay."
His Majesty's tone was too gentle.
The concubine, who had just bent her knees and pretended to be indifferent, raised her head almost immediately.
The anger that he had been hiding disappeared instantly after seeing the concern in His Majesty's eyes.
She straightened her half-bent knees and tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, who is this..."
Concubine Shu raised her hand and pointed at Chen Fu.
She hadn't seen this person's face clearly since she came in, but judging from her figure and skin, she must be a rare beauty.
Concubine Shu was born beautiful since childhood. She relied on her looks and looked down on other women.
After all these years, there were few women in the palace who were prettier than her.
But now, seeing His Majesty holding this woman in his arms and coaxing her tenderly, Concubine Shu felt unprecedented panic in her heart.
"Which sister in the harem is this? Your Majesty, why don't you introduce her to me?" Concubine Shu deliberately asked, looking at the palace maid skirt on Chen Fu.
Xiao Yu's hand on Shen Fu's back slowly fell down.
He lowered his head and saw Shen Fu's slightly trembling eyelashes. Shen Fu was so scared that she lay in his arms and dared not move.
But only her pair of curled eyelashes were trembling, revealing her inner panic.
I'm afraid she was also extremely panicked.
Now that Concubine Shu had spoken, he remembered that he had wanted Shen Fu for so long but had not yet given her a status.
It’s not that he didn’t give it to her, but the woman in his arms was really too irritating.
She dared to serve him instead of his elder sister.
He pretended not to know me during the day, but secretly lay in my bed at night.
He, the emperor, was played around in the palm of his hand.
After being discovered, she was still thinking about leaving, and after leaving the palace, she was still thinking about marrying someone else.
Every single thing she did, which one wasn't a capital crime punishable by beheading?
It was already a kindness of his that Shen Fu was still in his arms instead of being tied to the bed.
As for identity? He did it on purpose because he didn't want her to be so proud.
“Your Majesty thought of what happened before, and the look in his eyes gradually deepened as he looked at Shen Fu.
He patted Shen Fu's back leisurely with his palm, with a leisurely look on his face: "She is not a concubine in the harem."
Concubine Shu was stunned by what His Majesty said.
What does His Majesty mean by this? He held the person in his arms, hiding him so tightly, but he thought that he loved her very much and couldn't let her go.
But they don’t even give me an identity?
She is not a concubine in the harem, but she is not even given the lowest rank of concubine?
Concubine Shu was stunned. She stared blankly at His Majesty, then tried to look into his arms.
I want to find out more and see what kind of woman she is.
Chen Fu sat on His Majesty's lap and felt the hot palm patting her back again and again.
She knew that His Majesty did it on purpose, and it was obvious that he was saying this to her.
After all this trouble, I'm afraid the anger in His Majesty's heart has not really been released.
That's why he was reluctant to give her a position.
Now that Concubine Shu asked and His Majesty mentioned it again, I'm afraid he just wants to see my reaction.
After realizing His Majesty's thoughts, Shen Fu subconsciously came up with a countermeasure.
Doesn’t His Majesty want to see her sad? Then I'll perform it for him.
Shen Fu tightened her hands on His Majesty's chest, her pink fingertips gleaming white.
Her trembling eyelashes slightly raised, Shen Fu raised her head, revealing a pair of misty eyes.
"Your Highness..." Chen Fu looked at His Highness silently and with great sorrow.
Her pearly teeth bit her lips so hard that they soon lost all color.
Xiao Yu lowered his head and looked at Chen Fu, then his gaze fell deeply on those red lips.
He knew the good taste of this place, but now the red lips were bitten by Shen Fu so hard that all the blood color disappeared.
He felt unhappy in his heart, this place was his, no one could touch it.
Not even Shen Fu herself.
"Your Highness." Concubine Shu stood behind them and looked at the two of them. Although she couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, she always felt that something was wrong.
She stepped forward to get a better look, but before she got close, she heard the Emperor say, "Get out!"
This is the second time today that His Majesty has asked me to leave.
Concubine Shu looked embarrassed, and even if she was brave enough, she would not dare to stay at this moment. He thought of what His Majesty had said, that she was not even a concubine in the harem, and did not even have a position.
I can rest assured about this palace maid for now.
She is nothing more than a bird in a cage, a beauty hidden in a golden house, and His Majesty doesn't even want to give her a position.
What does she have to worry about?
"Then I will take my leave first." Concubine Shu knelt down and walked out, looking back every few steps.
Only after he walked out the door did His Majesty look back into his arms.
"Chen Fu." The palm fell on Shen Fu's chin, and the fingertips gently lifted her face.
Xiao Yu looked at the pair of black and white eyes and curled his lips: "Pleasure me."
"Pleasure me, and I will give you what you want."
