Chapter 14 The Cold-Hearted Emperor and His Favorite Concubine
Upon arriving outside the emperor's tent, Chu Yue whispered to Xiao Fuzi, "I'll go in by myself. You and Xiao Tao stay outside."
Xiao Fuzi hesitated for a moment, thinking that His Majesty was in a good mood today and would not blame him, so he respectfully nodded in agreement.
Chu Yue gently walked in, carrying the little rabbit.
The emperor was reading with his head down, but his sharp ears and eyes still managed to hear some slight noises.
Without looking up, she assumed that Xiao Fuzi had returned at this hour, since delivering something wouldn't take long. So she asked, "Does Consort Chu like it?"
"Your Majesty, I like it very much..." Chu Yue replied softly with a smile.
The emperor's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw Consort Chu standing not far away, holding a rabbit.
"You..." Why is she here?
Where is Xiao Fuzi?
"Your Majesty, it was I who asked Eunuch Xiao Fu not to announce it. He's outside, please don't blame him..."
Chu Yue stepped forward and pleaded with him softly.
Since that intimate encounter that night, the two have been face to face at such close range once again.
The emperor could no longer concentrate on his book; a subtle sense of joy stirred within him, softening his expression.
"He's gotten too bold." Although the emperor spoke words of reprimand, there was no blame in his tone.
Chu Yue smiled at the emperor, who was momentarily stunned, and Chu Jieyu became even more beautiful.
"You like the rabbit very much?" the emperor asked after thinking for a moment.
Chu Yue happily took a few steps forward, with only a desk separating the two of them.
"Your Majesty, the rabbit is so cute! You are amazing! I love it so much..."
The admiration in Chu Yue's eyes was obvious.
The emperor felt slightly uncomfortable under her intense gaze. He shifted his stiff body and said in a hoarse voice, "If you like it, that's good..."
"Your Majesty, would you like a hug?" Chu Yue came directly to his side and asked.
The sweet and soft little beauty was right next to him, and the emperor recalled how Chu Yue's soft lips had played and chased each other that night.
"No need, I won't hold him." The emperor didn't like these little creatures.
"Alright then... Xiao Tao, come in." Since Chu Yue was here, she didn't intend to stay any longer and had to do some more work before leaving.
Xiao Tao entered with her head bowed: "Your Majesty...Master..."
"Take the little rabbit outside."
Xiao Tao lowered her head, went forward, and carried the little rabbit out.
What was the emperor planning to do, watching her series of actions?
Chu Yue turned around and looked at the emperor tenderly. Then, in the next moment, before the emperor could react, she had already thrown herself into his arms.
"You..." The emperor was somewhat troubled. Why was he always so unguarded when facing Consort Chu?
Once again, the emperor held the delicate and soft beauty in his arms, feeling a little reluctant to part with her, and simply held her there.
"Your Majesty, you look so handsome today..." Chu Yue whispered, nestled in his arms.
The emperor didn't understand what "handsome?" meant.
Chu Yue secretly regretted accidentally saying the word "handsome," so she quickly smiled ingratiatingly and said, "It means you look dashing today."
The emperor genuinely smiled this time; Consort Chu was truly adorable.
Chu Yue was stunned. The emperor usually had a stern face, which made people afraid to get close to him.
That smile makes him even more handsome...
"Yueyue, Yueyue, stop being so infatuated..." Linglingyi called out.
"Get out of the way, don't disturb my acting..."
Seeing how passionately Consort Chu was looking at him, the Emperor felt even more smug. He was sure she loved him even more and was completely infatuated with him.
Considering how much she loves him, let's grant her this favor.
The emperor lowered his head and gently kissed her.
Chu Yue was thrilled and opened her mouth slightly in surprise, and the two kissed deeply.
The emperor had not expected Consort Chu to be so enthusiastic. He was so bothered by her that he could only let her keep pestering him.
The more he kissed her, the less he could control himself. The person in his arms was his concubine, his woman, and the woman who loved him, so he could touch her however he wanted.
At this moment, the emperor couldn't think too much and could only follow his instinct to want more, taking advantage of the person in his arms.
Unable to endure it any longer, the emperor picked up Chu Yue and carried her to the bed.
Just as they put the person down, an urgent voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has suddenly fallen ill. Please come and see her..."
The people inside froze instantly. The emperor was still pressing down on Chu Yue, and his hand had reached into that soft spot.
At this moment, the emperor's face was as dark as could be.
Chu Yue opened her eyes groggily. Her arms were still wrapped around the emperor's neck, her clothes were half off, and her face was still flushed.
The palace maids' voices continued outside. The emperor sat up with a gloomy expression, his restlessness making his aura oppressive.
"His Majesty……"
The emperor turned to look at the beautiful woman who was half-concealing her face while holding a pipa. It wasn't Chu Jieyu's fault. He comforted her by adjusting her clothes: "Don't be afraid."
Chu Jieyu only had eyes for him, and just now she had been incredibly submissive to him, letting him take what he wanted.
Xiao Fuzi wished she could die on the spot, so she wouldn't have to see His Majesty's terrifying gaze and the consequences of his anger.
He knew that since Consort Chu hadn't come out, His Majesty intended to keep her there tonight.
He and Xiaotao exchanged a glance, both seeing in each other's eyes that it was indeed the case.
But the concubine's maidservant was oblivious to her own mortality and kept shouting outside. He couldn't stop her no matter what he did. Oh well, let's all die together.
Sure enough, His Majesty's furious voice came from inside: "Get in here, all of you!"
Xiao Fuzi's legs went weak. Seeing Xiao Tao, who was also pale, the two of them, feeling a sense of shared suffering, trembled and walked inside.
It's all the fault of the Imperial Concubine...
After the three entered, they dared not breathe loudly. Liu'er, the concubine's maid, was already trembling uncontrollably.
Originally, the Imperial Concubine had instructed her to secretly observe His Majesty's movements and learned that Consort Chu had gone to His Majesty's place and had not left for a long time.
The Imperial Concubine could no longer sit still, so she sent Liu'er to invite His Majesty to visit her.
The Imperial Concubine thought that even if His Majesty was angry, he would still go to her place. After all, Consort Chu saw His Majesty every time, and they were both His Majesty's women. Would His Majesty show favoritism to one over the other?
She planned to admit her mistake and apologize, and the matter would be over. The Imperial Concubine had a good plan, but she didn't expect how angry the Emperor would be when his good time was interrupted.
"Little Fuzi, you're doing this job better and better!"
Anyone can barge in front of the emperor.
The emperor had been in a high position for many years and was usually feared, let alone now that he was angry.
"This servant deserves to die, this servant is guilty... Your Majesty, spare my life..."
Little Fuzi was so scared his teeth were chattering. Someone, please save him...
"Is the Imperial Concubine bad? How is she bad?" the Emperor coldly retorted.
The Imperial Concubine's health is as good as iron, how could she not be well?
Even though Consort Shu was the daughter of a general, her health was not as good as hers.
"Can the Imperial Concubine bear the crime of deceiving the Emperor?" Upon hearing this, Liu'er was too frightened to speak.
Your Majesty is terrifying. She was trying to persuade the Consort not to do this, but she couldn't stop her.
"Your Majesty... Her Highness is new to the palace and is feeling somewhat out of place..."
Liu'er finished speaking, her voice trembling.
"Hmph!" The emperor snorted coldly, staring straight at Liu'er, whose body swayed like a leaf in the wind.
Chu Yue could feel the emperor's oppressive aura. It was truly terrifying to have a man's good time interrupted.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is unwell, please go and see her..."
As soon as Chu Yue finished speaking, the emperor looked at her with a gloomy face: "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
Chu Jieyu loves him so much, why would she push him towards someone else?
Was all the love he received fake?
"30% favorability rating..."
"Favorability rating: 25%..."
"Favorability..."
"Stop reporting it, get out!"
Chu Yue is innocent! The Imperial Concubine's status is so high, how dare she compete with her for someone? His Majesty is so inconsiderate of her, sob sob…
"Your Majesty, I wouldn't dare. Please don't be angry. Noble Consort... I wouldn't dare to compete with Noble Consort for Your Majesty's favor."
As Chu Yue spoke, she choked up a little. She was just a lowly concubine; if the Imperial Concubine got angry, she could be punished at will.
Perhaps it was the word "steal" that pleased the emperor; in any case, his expression wasn't so terrible anymore, and his favorability towards him remained unchanged.
Linglingyi and Chuyue both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You go back and rest first, I'll go take a look," the emperor said in a relatively amiable tone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I understand."
The emperor got up and left, saying, "Follow me!" before disappearing without a trace.
Xiao Fuzi and Liu'er scrambled after them.
Xiao Tao, having survived the ordeal, collapsed to the ground, cold sweat pouring down her face.
"Let's go back." Chu Yue straightened her clothes and returned to her residence.
