“I[1] am looking forward to that day!” Emperor Jing Li added.
Liao Qing Qing, “???” Your Majesty, why are you so lewd?
“Qing Qing,” Emperor Jing Li called out to her.
Liao Qing Qing looked up at Emperor Jing Li.
With a sincere gaze, he asked, “Qing Qing, are you looking forward to it?”
“What is this imperial concubine[2] looking forward to?” Liao Qing Qing asked, pretending not to understand.
Emperor Jing Li said shamelessly, “Looking forward to the day of our coitus.”
“….” The corners of Liao Qing Qing’s mouth twitched. She thought that Emperor Jing Li’s anger had just dissipated and he shouldn’t be angered, so she replied in a different manner, “This imperial concubine is looking forward to Your Majesty’s full recovery.”
She is looking forward to my full recovery?
We can consummate our marriage when my body is fully recovered!
So Qing Qing is saying that she is looking forward to coitus!
Emperor Jing Li was pleased when he understood this. He held Liao Qing Qing’s hand and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s take a bath and rest.”
“Mm.” Liao Qing Qing nodded her head.
Emperor Jing Li hugged Liao Qing Qing when they were on the bed.
Liao Qing Qing, “….”
Emperor Jing Li said softly, “Qing Qing, it’s only been one night. But I feel as if three years have passed.”
Liao Qing Qing raised her head to look at Emperor Jing Li, while Emperor Jing Li lowered his head and looked at her.
Their eyes met.
A smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
“What are you laughing at?” Emperor Jing Li asked.
Liao Qing Qing asked in response, “What are you laughing at?”
“I’m asking you.”
“This imperial concubine wants to ask Your Majesty first.”
Emperor Jing Li extended his hands and tapped on Liao Qing Qing’s nose. He said with a smile, “Because I am happy.”
“This imperial concubine is also happy.”
“Mm. I will make you happy every day from now on.”
“Really?” Liao Qing Qing asked.
“A respectable person’s words can never be taken back even by a carriage on four horses.”[3]
Liao Qing Qing agreed with him. “This imperial concubine believes in Your Majesty.”
When Emperor Jing Li was about to laugh aloud again, Liao Qing Qing hastily covered his mouth with her hands. In the light of Emperor Jing Li licking her palms the other time, Liao Qing Qing retracted her hands very quickly this time. She whispered, “Your Majesty, you’ve to be careful so as not to be discovered.”
Emperor Jing Li nodded and placed his arms around Liao Qing Qing. He said, “Alright. Let’s sleep.”
“Let’s sleep.”
Liao Qing Qing snuggled into Emperor Jing Li’s arms of her own accord.
Emperor Jing Li’s lips curved into a smile. Then, he kissed Liao Qing Qing’s forehead, eyes, nose, and lips. When he was about to dive straight in, Liao Qing Qing quickly said, “Your Majesty, this is the Liao manor. Don’t do anything reckless.”
“All land under heaven belongs to the sovereign.”
“But that’s not very good.”
“I will just kiss you.”
“….”
“I can’t sleep without a kiss.”
“…..”
“Let’s kiss for a while.”
“….” Why do I feel like Emperor Jing Li was like a big black dog waiting for its food? She really couldn’t refuse and took the initiative to inch forward and kiss Emperor Jing Li.
This was like lighting a cannon fuse, bursting everything under the muslin curtain into flames.
“Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Fan said you can’t do that.”
“I’m not putting it in.”
“Your Majesty…”
“Go to sleep.”
Emperor Jing Li hugged Liao Qing Qing with satisfaction.
Liao Qing Qing slowly closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
It was unknown how long she slept, but she heard a rustling sound beside her. She dazedly felt a slightly damp and warm sensation on her forehead, and then she fell back into sleep.
In a daze, she heard He Xiang’s voice from outside the door, “Mistress, are you up?”
Liao Qing Qing slowly opened her eyes.
She reflexively looked to her side, and Emperor Jing Li was no longer around.
She knew that Emperor Jing Li had gone to imperial court early in the morning. She slowly got up and was just about to call He Xiang in when she suddenly realised that she had nothing on.
!!!
Suddenly, she remembered what had happened last night.
She had slept well with Emperor Jing Li last night, but he suddenly got “aroused”. He hugged, kissed, undressed her, and they tossed and turned for a long time. She was so sleepy that she had fallen asleep in his arms.
She thought she had an erotic dream.
Who knew it was real?
She looked down at her body and caught a glimpse of a string of tiny red love marks on her shoulder. She subconsciously touched her neck and wondered if there was any there.
“Mistress,” He Xiang’s voice sounded again from outside the door.
“Hold on,” Liao Qing Qing said.
“Yes.”
Liao Qing Qing quickly got up, swiftly put on her clothes and went to the mirror. She deliberately checked her face and neck to ensure there were no love marks before she let out a sigh of relief and said, “Come in.”
“Yes.”
He Xiang came in with a basin of water.
Liao Qing Qing ordered, “Put the water basin down. I’ll wash myself.”
“Yes. This maidservant[4] will clean up the bed.”
“Mm.” Liao Qing Qing went straight to wash her face.
“Mistress, what’s wrong with that?” He Xiang suddenly asked.
Liao Qing Qing asked in response, “What’s wrong with what?”
“Why is the bed wet?”
“Wet?”
Liao Qing Qing curiously approached He Xiang.
She saw a damp patch right in the middle of the bed.
It resembles…
Her face turned red in an instant.
It is Emperor Jing Li!
This shameless Emperor! Emperor Jing Li has actually gotten it out and smeared the bedsheet.
Ahhhhh!
So shameless!
“It seems to be tea,” He Xiang said.
Tea?
Liao Qing Qing fixed her eyes on it. She couldn’t tell whether it was tea or that thing. She suppressed the embarrassment inside her and explained, “Mm. When it was just dawn, I was thirsty and drank some water.”
“This maidservant will wash the sheets.”
“All right.”
