Chapter 36: Stay Overnight at the Lighting Bamboo Court (2)
As soon as he walked to the corridor in front of the Bamboo Garden, Meng Xinzhu saw the pair of red lanterns symbolizing the emperor's presence hanging on the gate of the Bamboo Garden. This thing was not there when he left, so why would it appear now? No need to ask.
, it must have been the emperor's fault. His light kung fu was so good that even if he came out later than her, he would arrive earlier than her. Meng Xinzhu's brows were already knotted, and all the good impression she had just had towards the emperor disappeared.
The feeling of disgust is even worse than before.
Of course, besides Hongde Longqiu, who else would hang this lantern on the Bamboo Garden? As soon as Meng Xinzhu entered the door, she saw Eunuch Ming waiting at the door. "The empress is back. The emperor has just arrived and is waiting for the empress.
."
As Meng Xinzhu went upstairs, she cursed Hong Delong Qiu in her heart. She pushed the door open and heard laughter.
"Hahaha!" Hongde Longqiu was touching his ears and looking at her, "No wonder my ears are so hot. It turns out I was scolded."
"You asked for this! How dare you come here when you know you won't get a good look?"
"This is my palace, why don't you dare to come?"
"You..." Meng Xinzhu pointed at him with her finger and nodded, "You are cruel! It turns out that you are just a dishonest villain. I think too highly of you."
Hongde Longqiu rested his head on his hands, sat at the desk and looked at Meng Xinzhu innocently, "When did I break my promise?"
"If you don't break your promise, red lanterns will be hung at the entrance of Zhuyuan? Is it possible that today is a festival?"
"Well, today should be regarded as a festival in Zhuyuan, because I want to stay here." Looking at Meng Xinzhu's almost murderous eyes, Hongde Longqiu couldn't help but laugh again. He stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Don't worry,
I am not someone who makes promises casually, I will definitely keep my promise."
"and you……"
"I am also the emperor after all. I love a concubine but can't get her. How uncomfortable I feel. How can I favor other concubines with such a mood? Doesn't this seem unfair to other concubines?" Hong Delong sat down.
Beside her, he continued to whisper, "Although I hang up the lantern for sleeping, I won't force you. Just do it and save some face for me. You can't let everyone know that I lost the bet and can't go."
Be happy with your concubine!"
Meng Xinzhu turned to look at him, and she saw the promise in his eyes. She sighed softly, then turned to look at the bed, "But we can't sleep on the same bed, right?"
"Don't worry, what I want is your heart and your person, and I will never be interested in a body. So even if we lie on the same bed, I will never touch you. This is my promise!"
Meng Xinzhu could only shake her head when the words came to this point, "You'd better stop snoring, or I'll kick you out of bed."
"I can't promise this. The worst thing is to keep your voice down." Hongde Longqiu stood up and no longer lowered his voice, "My dear concubine, please rest with me! Hahaha!"
Meng Xinzhu glared at him angrily.
When Eunuch Ming and others downstairs heard the emperor's laughter, they also laughed, "Xiao Chenzi, after tonight, the Bamboo Concubine will be different from before. Please serve her carefully."
"Yes, Xiao Chenzi knows."
"The Bamboo Concubine is a special empress. I have served the emperor for so long, and I have never seen him take so much care of any other concubine." Eunuch Ming sighed, "Xiao Chenzi, please serve the Bamboo Concubine well. If there are not enough people in this palace,
, just say it.”
"Thank you, Eunuch Ming!"
"You are more blessed than Little Plum."
Hongdelong Qiuyi was looking at the screen on the bed. Meng Xinzhu was changing clothes. When she came out, Hongdelong Qiu couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised, "I thought you would wear more clothes."
Meng Xinzhu looked at the pure cloth clothes on her body, "I'm not going out, how can anyone wear so many clothes to sleep, and it's already summer, and I don't want to get heat stroke." Meng Xinzhu pointed at Hongde Longqiu, "It's not called Ming.
Will father-in-law come and help you change?"
Hongde Longqiu stood up and said, "This seems to be the duty of the concubine." After saying that, he opened his arms and said, "Come and undress me!"
Meng Xinzhu crossed her hands on her chest, looked at him with a smile on her face for a while, then rubbed her hands and said, "Okay, by the way, I'll also soften your face and ask Eunuch Ming to take it out and pat it. If it's too thick, take it off."
It’s not comfortable even to wear!”
"Hahaha!" Hongde Longqiu stepped forward, "Don't think that just because I dote on you, you can be so confident. Anyway..."
"After all, you are also an emperor, right?" Meng Xinzhu shook her head, "It doesn't matter whether you wear it or take it off. I'm going to sleep first."
Meng Xinzhu walked to the bed and was about to open the quilt, but something suddenly fell from the sky covering her whole body. She scratched for a long time before taking the thing away from her head, but Hongde Longqiu had already taken off his dragon robe.
"What's this?"
"Of course it's a quilt."
Meng Xinzhu looked at the things in her hands and said, "This quilt is too big!"
"Because it was you and me who set it up." Hongde Longqiu said in her ear.
"Who wants to share a quilt with you? It's not like I don't have a quilt."
"Didn't we agree that this is acting? How can a couple cover themselves with two quilts?"
"I……"
"Okay, this quilt is big enough. It can cover four people. Just make do with it. It's enough for a show."
Meng Xinzhu lay flat on the bed, leaning against the wall as much as possible. Hong Delongqiu turned to look at the person lying next to him. He originally thought that she would put a pillow or something to separate the two of them, but she didn't.
"Can you tell me, you are still perfect, why do you have such seduction skills?"
"Please, there seems to be no inevitable connection between virginity and attractiveness, right?"
"Have you studied it specifically?"
Meng Xinzhu turned sideways and looked at him, "What would you do if you told me that I was specially trained to deal with men like you?"
Hongde Longqiu stared into her eyes, "I believe it. I will believe whatever you say. But what is your purpose? If you want to assassinate me, there are too many opportunities, but you have missed them all. Besides, you are not a bamboo.
Concubine, you won’t come to the palace for the sake of the Ye Kingdom’s subjugation. If it’s to spy on the Moon Kingdom, I’m afraid it would be much more convenient to be my woman than you are now.”
"You're partly right, but there's still another part you didn't consider." Meng Xinzhu looked sideways at him, "That is, I was acting from the beginning to the end, pretending that I didn't know you, pretending that I wasn't here to kill you, and pretending to be able to escape from water.
, pretending to be disappointed by being caught by you, pretending not to be your woman, everything is pretending, the purpose is just to make you fall in love and unable to extricate yourself, and then give you a hard blow when you are in the deepest love.
