Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Palace Maid's Sixty Days
Ji Chen smiled and took Shen Qing's hand and placed it on his chest: "My heart is in your hands."
If Ji Chen was so confused just by Shen Qing's few teasing words, then he would not be the one who pulled Shen Qing to the bed in the first place.
Shen Qing really underestimated him.
Shen Qing was a little disappointed to see Ji Chen calm down so quickly, but he thought it would be a waste if he didn't touch him.
She pressed it and it was hard, like a stone. The texture of the clothes embroidered with dragon patterns was the same as in her hands.
This... is totally unfair!
"What's the matter with the clothes between us? You are the emperor, ruling the world and are rich, how can you be so stingy to a little girl? Can't you be more generous?" Shen Qing pointed at his chest angrily.
Ji Chen threw the question to her: "How can you let me be generous in broad daylight?"
While his hands were still on Ji Chen, Shen Qing lowered his head and touched him all over. Although it was just a little bit of meat, tracing the shape of the chest, waist and abdomen could help him avoid being harmed.
Hearing this, he said unhappily: "There must be a way, you just don't want to."
"Your apology is not sincere at all." She added immediately.
As soon as Shen Qing finished speaking, her vision suddenly broadened. Feeling her body rising suddenly, she quickly placed her hands on Ji Chen's shoulders.
Looking again, she found that Ji Chen had held her and made her sit on his arms, so that her waist had no support and she could only put her hands on his shoulders.
Shen Qing looked down at Ji Chen. In this position, she was half a head taller than Ji Chen. She couldn't help but reveal curiosity in her eyes.
But she still didn't understand what Ji Chen was going to do.
"Go to bed." Ji Chen said concisely.
He didn't want Shen Qing to look at him with disappointment, nor did he want his promise to become worthless.
Shen Qing couldn't help but smile, thinking that he couldn't stand his provocation.
Ji Chen held her in his arms and walked around the half-folded screen with a landscape painting on it, and then he put her down beside the bed.
Ji Chen quickly undressed, revealing his inner garments, and lay down, leaning his back against the folded quilt, facing the bed, looking at Shen Qing with as calm a gaze as possible.
He was ready, but Shen Qing's hands were shaking.
She was a little confused when Ji Chen took off his clothes.
No, are you serious?
Only then did Shen Qing realize that she actually only liked him when it came to talking, and Ji Chen was better at taking action.
Frankly speaking, Ji Chen didn't reveal anything at all. The emperor's clothing was complicated to begin with. He took a long time to unbutton his outer clothes and just threw them on the side of the bed. His soft, pure white inner clothes were still fittingly worn on his body, with his collarbone half exposed.
But it looked as if it was waiting for her to uncover the last layer.
Even more confusing.
Then, Shen Qing did a wrong thing. She tried to let down the bed curtain. Because her hands were shaking, she failed several times. However, she did not have enough courage to face Ji Chen, so she naturally insisted on it, trying to delay time.
Before the bed curtain was lowered, Shen Qing just felt that the bed was a little small.
The bed on the imperial carriage was not as spacious as the dragon bed that Ji Chen used in the sleeping hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and could only comfortably accommodate two people.
But Ji Chen is a man, his body is broader, and he is half lying in the middle, leaving even less space for Shen Qing.
When the bed curtains are lowered, the four corners of the bed suddenly become private and dark.
The bed curtain was semi-translucent. When it was lowered, not only was the outside blocked out, but the light between the bed also suddenly became dim, but not to the point where you couldn't see clearly at all.
It's hazy, and adds some atmosphere.
Before the bed curtain fell, Shen Qing unexpectedly glanced at Ji Chen. The outline of his face looked mysterious and brilliant under the light and shadow, but his expression was gloomy and his eyes were complicated as he stared at her.
Like the darkness that appears after sunset, waiting to swallow up the entire sky.
Shen Qing suppressed the urge to run, took off her embroidered shoes and placed them neatly beside the bed, took a deep breath, pushed aside the bed curtain, and jumped in like a fish.
She tiptoed to Ji Chen's side, and seeing that he looked down and let her do what she wanted, she reached out her hand to the edge of his shirt that was lightly covering his collarbone.
The atmosphere between the beds at this moment was different from that during the day and at night. They could see each other, but not so clearly. Before they got close to each other, their breathing had already blended faintly. The light shone through the mottled shadows of the curtains and took on the color of the curtains themselves, and the temperature seemed to rise in this small space.
There was an ice jar next to where they had just sat. Although it was cool, it felt cold to the touch on the skin and could not be ignited at all.
And now Ji Chen's skin is warm.
Shen Qing's hands were as white as catkins and as smooth as mutton fat, with obvious pink on her nails, and it was obvious that they were well maintained. When her hand fell on the white brocade inner garment, Ji Chen actually had the urge to bend down and peck it.
But he wanted to see what Shen Qing would do, so he darkened his eyes and suppressed this thought.
Shen Qing's fingers were slightly cold because she had stayed outside the bed for a little too long and was involuntarily nervous.
Shen Qing's eyes were wide open, and she unconsciously opened her inner clothes and touched Ji Chen's broad collarbone. Perhaps it was a little warm there, so she rubbed it and rubbed the warmth with her fingertips.
Her head rested on Ji Chen's neck, their black hair entangled.
Then, her hand began to move down and fall onto Ji Chen's chest. After only two or three times, Shen Qing had already felt the taste. In order to avoid being disturbed by Ji Chen, she raised her head and kissed the corner of Ji Chen's lips.
Ji Chen lowered his head and offered his lips, and the unbearable gasps caused by his skin being scratched and rubbed were sealed in his lips.
Although there was no sound, an inexplicable atmosphere flowed in the small space.
The honey can be drawn into threads.
…
The two were speechless from beginning to end. At the end, Ji Chen stroked Shen Qing's tired brows and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."
Only then did Shen Qing fall into a deep sleep.
It was already afternoon when Shen Qing woke up again. It was the Chen hour when she set out from the imperial city. She came to find Ji Chen at the Si hour. Now it was already the Shen hour. In another hour, the troops should stop.
She looked at the bed curtains blankly, and her cheeks instantly became hot when she thought of what she had done to Ji Chen before going to bed.
Before she could stand up, she heard deliberately suppressed voices outside. It was Ji Chen meeting with the ministers.
Although he would not be back to Beijing for several months when he went to the Mountain Resort, state affairs had to be dealt with in a timely manner, so ministers had to be brought along. As well as other sons of nobles who needed training, their families and servants were so numerous that the team could not be seen from the beginning to the end, and could only signal each other with flags at a distance.
Although not everything had to be decided by Ji Chen as the emperor, his subjects still had to report to their superiors, so naturally he would be busy for a while.
Shen Qing lay down again and waited for Ji Chen to finish his work.
After the minister left, Ji Chen told Qian Ji: "If anyone else comes, have them come to the palace in the evening and report to me."
Qian Ji said yes.
Shen Qing stood up, her clothes were not messy. She moved to the bedside, put on her shoes, and then tidied herself up a bit before she could meet people.
She lifted the curve of the bed curtain so that Ji Chen, who was always paying attention to what was going on outside, could see it, and asked Qian Ji to leave first.
Qian Ji was confused and quickly retreated.
Aunt Fuxue has been gone for a long time now. Hasn't the emperor released Miss Shen Qing yet?
Shen Qing came out from behind the screen and the first person she saw was Ji Chen. He was looking at her, and when he saw her come out, he stretched out his arms.
Ji Chen had changed into a new set of clothes, but he still looked handsome and extraordinary in them.
Shen Qing threw herself into his arms without hesitation.
Ji Chen was pleased by her actions and laughed with great pleasure: "Did you sleep well?"
Shen Qing nodded: "I have to go."
"Have your meal before leaving. I have someone send some food and ice cream."
When Shen Qing heard about Bing Suluo, she didn't want to leave immediately, so Ji Chen took her hand and sat down.
Shen Qing spoke little after waking up. Ji Chen knew at a glance that she was shy. Because she knew what she had done, it was rare for her to be obedient.
Seeing Shen Qing chewing his meal slowly, Ji Chen also ate some.
It was not until Shen Qing put down his chopsticks and picked up the ice cream cheese to taste it with relish that he realized something.
Ji Chen tried to use a gentle tone to ask: "You're not going to eat anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qing glanced at the ice yogurt. She had specially cleared her stomach for it, but it seemed inappropriate to eat so little in front of Ji Chen, so she tentatively picked up a chopstick.
After swallowing it, Ji Chen was still not satisfied.
Shen Qing did not force it: "I don't have many things that require my energy every day, so my appetite is naturally small. If I eat too much, I will feel uncomfortable and get sick. It's better to eat according to my needs."
After hearing this, Ji Chen stopped trying to persuade him, but silently put horse riding and archery on the agenda.
He knew Shen Qing's strength. He could not bear the blow from his clenched fists. Although he looked delicate and weak, he should be a good candidate for drawing a bow and arrow.
Ji Chen had no doubts. Shen Qing felt relieved and ate the ice yogurt happily. After swallowing the last bite, she felt full.
After leaving the imperial carriage, Shen Qing happened to meet Qian Ji's stunned gaze. He smiled awkwardly and slipped away.
She did stay longer today, even lunch was postponed until now.
With Fu Xue's cover, Shen Qing got on the carriage smoothly without attracting any attention.
For six consecutive days, on the way to the summer resort, Ji Chen and Shen Qing would always find opportunities to spend some time together.
It was not until the sixth day that Ji Chen took a group of people to the hunting ground that had been designated long ago. Since it was an exercise, why not go to the Mountain Resort to rest first? It would be better to arrive earlier and set up the tents in advance, which would also boost morale.
The well-trained team was divided into two groups. The one with a brighter flag was led by Ji Chen. He was armed with sharp weapons and climbed onto a strong black horse. The horse's skin was smooth and gleamed in the sun.
His divine power is even greater than that of a strong horse.
The remaining team was escorted by the Imperial Guards to the Summer Resort.
The carriage started moving again.
In the evening of that day, they arrived at the main gate of the Mountain Resort. The Queen took charge of the situation and asked the palace maids on the resort to lead the family members and concubines to their respective houses to rest first.
Shen Qing was about to leave when a palace maid stopped her and said, "Miss Shen Qing, our Concubine is still a little confused about the arrangements of the courtyard. Can you please go over there?"
Shen Qing recognized that this was Xing Luo who was beside Concubine Yan, and said, "I don't know about this matter, and I can't help Concubine Yan. I am someone close to the eldest prince, and the eldest prince can't leave without someone, so I will leave first, and I hope Concubine Yan will forgive me."
Xing Luo wanted to stop her, but Shen Qing had already bypassed her and called Fu Xue to leave together.
"Aunt Fuxue."
When Xing Luo heard the word "Aunt" and was looked at by Fu Xue, he retreated and did not dare to stop them. He watched the two of them leave, and finally stamped his feet and went back to report to Concubine Yan.
Fu Xue looked at Shen Qing with a questioning look.
Shen Qing thought for a moment and said, "It seems that Concubine Yan wants to see me. It must be something bad."
Although the Summer Resort is cool, there is a lot of water. She is not good at swimming. If she comes here to escape the summer heat every year, she should learn how to swim.
Shen Qing said to Fu Xue: "Aunt Fu Xue, I will not take the initiative to meet any concubines in the Summer Resort."
If so, there must be something fishy.
Fu Xue nodded cautiously in agreement.
She knew Shen Qing's whereabouts very well so that the emperor could ask about it at any time.
Shen Qing also knew this, so he said this to Fu Xue.
