As night fell, guided by Liu Gongong, Mei Siyu walked through the winding corridors to the Yangyan Palace, admiring the beautiful scenery – countless pavilions and exotic flowers captivating her attention.
“Well, if it isn’t the famous Mei Concubine,” a contemptuous voice spoke. Mei Siyu looked up to see Shu Concubine, the clingy woman who disgusted her.
Liu Gongong, recognizing the formidable Shu Concubine, bowed and stood aside.
“Wan’er pays respects to Mei Concubine,” a small woman behind Shu Concubine said shyly. Wan’er was petite and delicate, the type one would want to protect.
“Siyu greets Shu Concubine,” Mei Siyu curtsied, smiling slightly at Wan’er.
“Such a provocative dress. Where are you going?” Shu Concubine spoke sharply.
“Don’t you think it’s beautiful? The Emperor specially sent it to me,” Mei Siyu said loudly, intentionally trying to provoke her.
Mei Siyu walked past Shu Concubine, leaving her fuming and Wan’er silent, with Liu Gongong following, always smiling.
At the Yangyan Palace, “Emperor, Mei Concubine has arrived,” Liu Gongong announced.
“Mm, you may leave,” Han Lenchen said expressionlessly.
As they were left alone, Mei Siyu met his deep gaze, feeling her heart race, and greeted: “This concubine pays respects to Your Majesty.
Casually picking up the wine pot, he filled the wine cup standing before him, then poured himself a full cup, his voice equally soft and gentle: “Your Majesty, this cup of wine is my apology to you, for my inappropriate words that day.” Saying this, he first raised the wine cup and drank it in one gulp, then turned the empty cup upside down to show he had finished it completely, his sincerity evident.
He looked at her face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, picked up his wine cup and drank it all, and as soon as the cup was set down, he pulled her into his embrace with a turn, lowering his head to kiss her tempting red lips. “Your Majesty, don’t be in such a hurry, I still have something to say.”
Ming Lenchen held Mei Siyu in his embrace, his sensual thin lips brushing against her forehead, taking a light sip, “My beauty, can’t we talk about this later?” As he spoke, his hands restlessly rubbed her back, declaring his deep affection.
