Without giving her a chance to catch her breath, he again covered her lips, passionately kissing her. The soft moans beneath him only intensified his desire. He quickly removed his clothing, and Mei Siyu was half-exposed, her light pink chest fully visible, her snow-white skin flushed, causing Ming Lengchen to gasp.
“Yuer, you’re so beautiful. May I?” he asked softly.
“Want water, Chen. I’m thirsty,” she mumbled drunkenly, her response nonsensical.
Seeing Mei Siyu’s pouty lips and adorable red face, his desire burned intensely. Disregarding her unconscious resistance, he removed her silk dress, then gently undid her provocative bodice and undergarments. Each movement was torturous, his desire consuming his reason, yet her beauty held him captivated.
Her beautiful nude body was now fully revealed, the curtained bed filled with an ambiguous atmosphere!
The next morning, sunlight slanted into the pink curtains. Mei Siyu stretched lazily, partially opening her eyes and taking a deep breath. When she noticed her completely naked body, with love marks and small red spots clearly visible, she was overwhelmed with shame, recalling the previous night’s events!
White sheets stained with blood, declaring that last night was not a dream, Mei Siyu’s face instantly burning hot, awkwardly covering the evidence with silk bedding, afraid that the sharp-eyed Xiao Rou would see and tease her. Under Xiao Rou’s care, Mei Siyu, fresh as a lotus emerging from water, slowly walked to the bronze mirror. This time, Xiao Rou helped her choose a milk-white dress with gold trim, a chiffon skirt with crystal pendants, her long hair simply gathered at the back and fixed with a jade hairpin. The skillful Xiao Rou applied an elegant lady’s makeup and delicate crystal earrings, making her look like a charming beauty!
In the Qingyun Hall!
“Damn it, useless fellow, can’t do anything right, how dare you cry, get out of here now!” The Imperial Concubine, sitting on a soft couch, glared angrily at the kneeling maidservant.
“Your Highness, please don’t be angry, it’s not good for your health,” her personal maidservant Jin Zhi advised, crouching down to gently massage the concubine’s ankle, hoping to soothe her anger.
“I can’t let a little girl ruin my plans. If I can’t deal with her openly, I’ll use more insidious methods.” A hint of evil flashed across the concubine’s refined face, disappearing in an instant, hard to catch for the inattentive.
“What does Your Highness mean?” Jin Zhi leaned in, whispering, nodding repeatedly with a sly smile.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll handle this perfectly,” Jin Zhi said, smiling. If she could help the concubine eliminate her troubles, her own status would surely improve.
A charming young gentleman entered the main hall of Feng Qing Yuan, small and delicate, walking lightly, looking more like a young lady than a man.
“May I help you, sir?” the shopkeeper asked obsequiously.
“Call your manager out. I have business with the boss,” the young man said impatiently.
“This… ” the shopkeeper hesitated.
“What brings you here? I am the boss,” Wen Yue Yan said with a warm smile.
Such an eerily beautiful man, even more beautiful than a woman, the young man thought to himself, quickly collecting his thoughts and asking seriously, “May we speak privately?”
Shortly after they entered the inner room, the young man left with a triumphant smile, while Wen Yue Yan stood behind, looking confused and unhappy.
This was an unprecedented opportunity he couldn’t miss. He would avoid her at all costs – this grudge must be settled!
What beautiful scenery, Mei Siyu thought, sitting in the luxurious palanquin, gazing out the window. She had finally left the palace, not by sneaking out, but carried out openly by four bearers – how satisfying!
“Yu’er, don’t lean out, be careful not to catch a cold,” Mu Leng Chen said softly, adjusting her hair.
“Chen, don’t you think the scenery is beautiful?” she asked playfully, tugging his sleeve.
“The scenery is beautiful, but it doesn’t compare to one-tenth of your beauty. Everything loses its luster when you appear!” he said, gazing at her with passionate eyes.
Their intimate moment continued, with subtle tensions and unspoken memories of the previous night, creating a warm, charged atmosphere.
Okay, as you say.” Mei Siyu obediently replied with a soft laugh.
In the pavilion, willow branches drooped low, flying catkins drifting everywhere, flowers and grass clustered around, with a fragrant scent and a faint grassy smell in the air. Walking into this place felt like being in a poetic scene, making one feel as if in a fairyland, breathtakingly beautiful!
”Miss, please go rest elsewhere. Someone is here already.” Li Weiying’s loud voice rang out as he approached, seemingly in the middle of an argument.
”Young master, you cannot speak recklessly. Is this your family’s estate? If not, why can’t I rest here? Don’t be too domineering!” the young woman said in a calm, measured tone with a hint of indignation.
”Don’t you dare cause trouble, or I won’t be polite!” Li Weiying said, somewhat angry. He hadn’t expected this seemingly delicate woman to speak so forcefully.
”It’s you, Sister Shi, how are you here?” Mei Siyu walked closer and realized the woman arguing with Li Weiying was Li Shi Shi, the top courtesan from the Drunken Immortal Courtyard!
”Greetings, Sister Shi.” The young woman bowed elegantly, her demeanor graceful and her smile warm, completely different from her previous argumentative stance.
She wouldn’t reveal that she was wandering through a brothel, would she? She should have known better than to greet her. Now she was belatedly worried. It was her own fault for being careless and not thinking before speaking. She hoped Shi Shi wouldn’t let anything slip, silently praying like a Buddha!
”Today we meet again, and you look even more beautiful than before. I’m almost jealous!” Shi Shi said with a smile. She deliberately spoke vaguely, wanting to tease Mei Siyu. For some reason, Shi Shi didn’t have much goodwill towards Mei Siyu and wanted to provoke her, venting her inner resentment!
”No, Elder Sister is the beautiful one. How could I compare!” Mei Siyu lowered her head, speaking sincerely. She was fortunate not to have revealed anything, or else Heng Lengchen would have been angry. A woman wandering through a brothel was hardly a respectable act, and she now felt somewhat ashamed.
”Yu’er, do you know each other?” Heng Lengchen, confused by the exchange, asked.
”Chen, we’ve met once before. Let me introduce you to Sister Shi,” Mei Siyu said.
”Greetings, Young Master,” Shi Shi said softly.
”Since you know each other, there’s no need to be formal. Please sit down,” Heng Lengchen nodded and said softly, then guided Mei Siyu by the waist into the pavilion.
”I won’t join you. I have urgent matters to attend to. Thank you for the invitation,” Shi Shi’s clear voice came from behind, startling the two in front.
When they turned around, Shi Shi had already left with her maidservant’s support, leaving the two confused and the equally puzzled Li Weiying wondering why she had suddenly left after their previous confrontation.
”Yu’er, stop looking. Let’s go rest inside. She’s already gone,” Heng Lengchen softly called to the distracted Mei Siyu.
”Oh,” she withdrew her gaze, letting him hold her hand as they entered the pavilion to rest for a moment.
