Chapter 79, Warm Fragrance
Chapter 79, Warm Fragrance (Part )
She was drunk.
The intoxicating blush on her cheeks is as gorgeous as the red plum blossoms blooming on the snow-capped mountains.
She tugged at Emperor Yuji's collar with her soft hands, as if she was dissatisfied with the silence of the man in front of her. When her watery eyes narrowed slightly, they were misty, as if hiding countless stars and filled with ethereal mist.
"Tell me, do you like her?" She felt so uncomfortable.
Under Shen Qingtang's aggrieved gaze, Emperor Yu Ji had not yet made any move, but Empress Ye, who suddenly felt something was wrong, broke the silence.
"Someone come! Lady Shu is drunk, why don't you help her down quickly!
At Queen Ye's command, Aunt Ginkgo, who was serving her, was about to make a move when the weak and powerless Drunken Beauty was picked up sideways.
When the sharp nails pierced into Queen Ye's palm, Emperor Yu Ji coaxed the person in his arms in a soft voice under her hateful gaze.
"Good girl~ I don't like her, I like delicate girls like Tang'er~"
"really?"
"Have I ever lied to you?"
Since you are so drunk, it’s okay for me to coax you.
While comforting the person in his arms, Emperor Yu Ji spoke calmly to Queen Ye who was trying hard to maintain a smile.
"Empress, I will personally send Lady Shu back. You can handle the matter in Yaoguang Palace yourself."
After saying that, Emperor Yuji glanced at Concubine Zhengui inconspicuously, then he quickly disappeared in Yaoguang Palace while holding Shen Qingtang in his arms amid the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd.
When he left, Concubine Zhengui also let Toya go.
She glanced at Queen Ye thoughtfully, then glanced at the faces with different expressions in the Yaoguang Palace, finally landing on the anxious Toya.
But at one glance, a disdainful sneer appeared at the corners of her scarlet lips.
"Tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet shows that the Queen has put a lot of effort into it. It's a pity that--" Emperor Yu Ji doesn't like this kind of beauty.
"Since the emperor has left, I will also take my leave first."
Under Queen Ye's gaze that was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it, Concubine Zhengui rolled her eyes and left without any courtesy, taking Yugui away.
Looking at Concubine Zhengui's departing back, the expressions of the concubines in Yaoguang Palace changed several times. It was obvious that they also wanted to leave like Concubine Zhengui. However, under Queen Ye's expression of impending storm, they could only hold back and continue to sit in Yaoguang Palace.
Toya, who failed to sneak into Emperor Yuji's harem at tonight's banquet, stood beside Queen Ye, trembling with fear, her eyes flickering.
"My lady, Toya has pressed you——"
"Shut up!"
As soon as Toya spoke, Queen Ye noticed that someone was looking at her, and her face immediately turned black and red.
Although others didn't know that she used the warm fragrance to let Toya seduce Emperor Yuji, Toya, who she had carefully arranged, failed to seduce Emperor Yuji, which made her lose face and made her feel powerless and seen through.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Queen Ye took a deep breath and put on a forced smile on her face, which was as white as a silver plate.
"The banquet will continue tonight!"
*
Inside the Yaoguang Palace, the night banquet continued.
Emperor Yuji, who was scented with the fragrance of warmth, not only did not send Shen Qingtang back to Fanghua Palace, but also carried her all the way back to Huangji Palace.
There is a hot spring in the Huangji Hall.
Under the rippling water, the weak and powerless drunk beauty could only cling to the man's strong waist. With each storm, her fragmented moans slowly floated out of the palace with the mist.
After hearing this, Jiang Quan rubbed his hands in dismay at Concubine Zhengui's cold gaze.
"You see, Your Majesty, the Emperor is in this condition now. Even if I go in, it will be of no use."
Jiang Quan felt miserable. At this time, the Imperial Concubine forced him to go in and call out Emperor Yuji. How many heads could a servant like him afford to lose?
Under Jiang Quan's bitter gaze, Concubine Zhengui frowned in annoyance.
"Then get out of the way and I'll go in by myself."
Jiang Quan wanted to cry but had no tears: "My Lady, please have mercy on me. The Emperor will chop me to pieces."
This is not okay, and that is not okay. In an instant, dark clouds covered the cold face of Concubine Zhengui.
"Yugui!"
There was a sound of cinnamon, and the sound of cinnamon's fingers pinching each other was crackling.
"You go in, Madam. I will leave Eunuch Jiang to me."
"Miss Yugui, you can't do this, you can't do this—"
How could Jiang Quan, who was weak and barely able to even tie a chicken, be a match for Yugui? He was immediately "politely" stopped by Yugui.
Without Jiang Quan as an obstacle, Concubine Zhengui listened to the soft Wu dialect and entered the Huangji Palace smoothly as if nothing had happened.
As she followed the sound and headed towards the hot spring warm room, two figures appeared in the curling mist and were heading for paradise.
Wow…
After the drunkenness wore off, Shen Qingtang had just tried to sneak a little further away from Emperor Yu Ji's arms when he was pulled into the arms of a pair of strong and powerful arms again.
The man's deep voice, filled with lust, sounded lazily beneath her swollen earlobe.
"Where are you going, my dear?"
"Didn't you hear it?" Shen Qingtang bit her lip lightly, "Tang'er seemed to have heard the voice of the Imperial Concubine. She seemed to be looking for you?"
As he spoke, Shen Qingtang tensed up in Emperor Yuji's arms.
She was a little worried that she would be pulled out of Emperor Yuji's arms by Concubine Zhengui like Toya.
Then it would be a huge embarrassment.
Noticing the somewhat tense body of the person in his arms, Emperor Yu Ji's eyes darkened for a moment, and his fingertips lightly tickled Shen Qingtang's slender waist.
With just this one move, Shen Qingtang's tense body instantly collapsed in his arms.
Afraid that she would fall due to weak legs, Shen Qingtang turned away from Emperor Yu Ji in shame and anger.
"Your Majesty, Tang'er is talking to you!"
"I heard it."
Emperor Yu Ji held Shen Qingtang in his arms, looking at the sudden charm that appeared between her eyebrows and eyes, and his deep voice had some inexplicable meaning.
"When Tang'er mentioned Concubine Zhengui, her body tensed up. Are you afraid of Concubine Zhengui?"
Afraid of Concubine Zhengui?
How can it be!
Shen Qingtang's green jade fingers touched Emperor Yu Ji's strong chest with a little emotion.
"Don't you think that Tang'er and you are too embarrassed to see people like this?" Shen Qingtang said angrily, "Tang'er and Concubine Sister are both your women. If Tang'er can't see what you do with other concubines, she won't feel sad. But if she sees it, she will be very upset."
"I believe that the Imperial Concubine sister feels the same way. Tang'er doesn't want her to feel sad, so let's get out of here quickly, shall we?!"
Only when you know how to love can you care.
It’s just that her caring will hurt, but she won’t let jealousy and unwillingness change her beyond recognition.
not to mention--
Shen Qingtang's eyes narrowed slightly. According to her speculation, Concubine Zhengui was not Emperor Yuji's woman.
The relationship between them is more like that of friends and collaborators.
While Shen Qingtang was thinking in her heart, the ambiguous voice of Emperor Yu Ji sounded in her ears.
"From what Tang'er said, it seems that Tang'er likes Concubine Zhengui very much?"
