"Your Highness?"
The little maid called again. Shen Qing wanted to answer, but the person behind her showed no sign of restraint. He was too familiar with her body. Taking advantage of her nervousness and lack of resistance, he lifted one of her legs and began to invade.
"Um..." Shen Qing covered her mouth tightly, not allowing herself to make a suspicious sound.
The little maid was a little suspicious when she saw that there was no movement, and she was going to go in to check.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer.
The sexy and low voice lingered around her, as if it were going to drill into her heart through her ears, "Qingqing, don't you want to make a sound to let her go? If you don't make a sound again, you're going to be found..."
At the same time as he spoke, he exerted force again. Shen Qing almost collapsed.
The sound of a shallow and clear collision came, which was the sound of the bead curtain being lifted.
"It's, it's okay..."
"I just woke up for a while. You can go down."
The little maid stopped when she heard Shen Qing's voice, "Do you want this servant to light a lamp?"
"No. Go back and rest. I'll call you if there's anything."
Shen Qing's voice sounded a little unstable, but the little maid didn't think much of it and retreated.
"This servant is taking her leave."
Hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, Shen Qing's heart that had reached her throat finally fell back.
"What, what are you doing here?" Shen Qing was anxious and angry. She wanted to beat him, but unfortunately he was holding her back, so she couldn't reach him at all. She was afraid that the noise would attract people, so she could only let him play with her.
"Shh... Qingqing, keep your voice down. Don't attract people back..."
Who was she making a sound for?!
Shen Qing wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, she was knocked dizzy by him. She couldn't speak intermittently, so she could only cover her mouth and force herself not to make a sound.
The shallow moonlight came in through the window lattice. It was better than nothing.
It was actually quite interesting not to make a sound like this.
After a long time, she collapsed on him, calming her breathing.
"You don't even look at where this is!" Shen Qing angrily pinched his chest.
Ji Junye let out a light "hiss" and caught her hand to kiss it gently, "I didn't startle anyone when I came. No one will find out."
"But you can't..."
Ji Junye was in a very good mood at this moment. He smiled with the corner of his mouth, "Qingqing, do you think what mother-in-law meant by leaving Sibaobao in the palace, specifically asking you to stay in the princess mansion, and even asking you to send me back?"
"Moreover, don't you think it's exciting, Qingqing?"
"Exciting your head!" Shen Qing couldn't help but pinch him again.
She was almost scared to death by him!
"But Qingqing's performance just now told me that you like it very much..."
"Stop talking..."
Shen Qing was always no match for him in this regard, so she simply didn't argue with him and buried her head to pretend to be asleep.
Ji Junye also knew that if he continued to tease her, she would really get angry. He took advantage of the situation and closed his eyes.
Some people got what they wanted, while some people couldn't sleep alone.
Just one night, the news that Emperor Jiang Jing had gone to several palaces spread throughout the six palaces.
The door of the Xiwu Palace was bustling.
"Empress, did you quarrel with His Majesty? His Majesty suddenly ran to my place last night and scared my Rongrong so much that she didn't even eat."
Consort Zhuang said angrily. Rongrong was a little white dog she had raised. She usually doted on it very much. Even Shen Liangzhi, her own son, had to step aside.
"That's right. What's wrong with His Majesty? Last night, this concubine was playing pai gow with her sisters. The people below said that His Majesty had come. This concubine was so scared that she didn't even dare to open the door."
Concubine Shu, the birth mother of the third prince, also complained. These people all had children. After the children grew up, they were often not around. They would occasionally play pai gow or something. They usually didn't care, but if His Majesty caught them, they would definitely be punished.
"That's right, Empress..."
"Empress..."
The empress was so annoyed by the noise that her head hurt, "Enough."
"His Majesty is the king of a country. If he goes to your palaces and you don't even open the door, aren't you afraid that someone will impeach you if the news spreads?"
Consort Zhuang snorted, "Who dares to impeach? The second prince doesn't have to leave the capital for a short period of time. If anyone dares to impeach this consort, I'll ask the second prince to beat him up!"
As soon as Consort Zhuang's voice fell, she immediately received a response from a group of people.
"Sister Zhuangfei, help me beat one up too."
"Sister Zhuangfei, help me beat one up too."
"And me."
Consort Zhuang responded one by one.
Concubine Mei also said with a troubled face, "Empress, it's not that we want to disturb your peace. It's just that you're the only one who can persuade His Majesty in the entire harem. If not, choose some new people to come in. His Majesty is like this... Concubines are old and just want to live in peace. His Majesty's tossing around like this really makes it difficult for us concubines to bear..."
As soon as Emperor Jiang Jing entered the door, he heard the words about choosing new people for him.
Emperor Jiang Jing glared, "What new people? Who wants to choose new people?"
"What are you all doing standing around here? You don't do any serious business all day. What kind of bad ideas are you coming up with?!"
The concubines were scolded by him and didn't dare to say a word, but Consort Zhuang was not included.
Consort Zhuang snorted, "Your Majesty, whether you quarrel with the Empress or not, don't use us for fun."
At such an old age, who would let go of the days of playing with their grandchildren and want to be crazy enough to fight for favor?
Moreover, who didn't know that His Majesty had gone to their places because he had quarreled with the empress? If they really left His Majesty behind, when His Majesty and the empress made up, they would be the ones who were not human inside and out.
This was the benefit of having a good son. Consort Zhuang was straight when she spoke.
Emperor Jiang Jing was so angry that he stared blankly, but he couldn't do anything to Consort Zhuang.
The others were the same!
Who would have thought that he, the king of a country, would run all over the six palaces and not even get a cup of tea.
He was rejected everywhere!
"Go back to your own palaces!"
Although the concubines were not convinced, they all left one after another.
After everyone left, Emperor Jiang Jing reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Zitong..."
...
Above the imperial garden, a kite was flying high. The other end of the kite string was in Sibaobao's hand. As she pulled it, the kite flew higher and higher.
"Sister Zhuxing, it's flying so high..."
"Sibaobao is really amazing!" Zhuxing praised without hesitation.
Yesterday, the empress had made an appointment with Sibaobao to come to the imperial garden to fly a kite, but after breakfast, the people in the harem asked to see her. Sibaobao couldn't wait, so she came to the imperial garden by herself first.
The climate in Shengjing was warm. Although there was still a month until the New Year, the trees in the imperial garden were still green. The sun was not too hot or too cold, and it was just comfortable to shine on people.
Zhuxing couldn't help but think that it should be snowing in the capital at this time, right?
It seemed that they were going to spend this New Year in Shengjing.
Such a comfortable day made Zhuxing a little distracted.
"Ouch—"
It was Sibaobao's voice!
Zhuxing quickly came back to her senses and looked over. Sibaobao didn't fall, but she stood there dejectedly, holding the broken half of the kite string in her hand.
The kite with the broken string fluttered with the wind and finally hung on the rockery corner of the pond.
"Sister Zhuxing, the kite is hanging on the rockery..."
Zhuxing heaved a sigh of relief. It was just that the kite was hanging on the rockery. It wasn't a big problem, "It's okay. It's just hanging on it. It can still be retrieved. I'll go and pick it up for Sibaobao."
It wasn't good to put a ladder on the rockery, so she could only go up and pick it up. However, it wasn't far away, so it wouldn't take much effort.
"You all look after little Sibaobao first. I'll go and retrieve the kite."
After Zhuxing finished speaking, she stepped on the tip of her foot and flew to a protruding rock.
"Sister Zhuxing is so amazing!"
Sibaobao was stunned. She even forgot about the kite. The little maid beside her also stared at her intently.
Princess Jianing stood not far away, looking at this harmonious scene. She couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes at all.
She had been sent to the Buddhist temple for two years, and there was no longer a place for her in this palace. Don't think she didn't know. Her uncle just wanted to make way for his daughter!
Before Shen Qing appeared, she was the most favored junior girl in the entire palace. Now, she had actually fallen to this level.
Shen Qing had been missing for so many years. How could she still come back safely?!
Even if she came back, she still brought a small one with her. Emperor Jingye even went to great lengths to marry her!
All of this should have been hers!
The hatred and anger almost ignited Princess Jianing. She looked at the small figure not far from the pond, and a terrifying thought burst out in her heart.
If she couldn't live a good life, then no one could!
