Chapter 3 Serving the Emperor
Chapter 3 Serving the Emperor
Before Li Yuanke could withdraw his hand, Shen Shixi grabbed it, stood up, and leaned close, saying, "Your Majesty, I thought you had forgotten me and didn't recognize me! I want to be in the palace with Your Majesty all the time!"
Li Yuanke was now certain that the person who was cursing him was Shen Shixi. Although he didn't know why he could hear her thoughts, he didn't care about that. All he knew was that this little thing would curse him whenever she saw him!
Li Yuanke sneered, grabbing Shen Shixi's chin and meeting her beautiful, alluring eyes. "You're not lying to me, you really want to enter the palace and be with me?"
"Does Your Majesty not trust me?" Shen Shixi pouted, her red lips pouting. Her upturned eyes hooked at the emperor like hooks. Every smile and frown exuded charm and allure.
If Li Fude hadn't been a eunuch... let alone Li Yuanke.
His eyes darkened, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his grip tightened involuntarily. Two tears rolled down Shen Shixi's cheeks, and Li Yuanke immediately released his grip.
If he couldn't hear her true feelings, he might have believed it.
He knew that the women in the harem were all putting on an act, and that every sweet word they uttered had an ulterior motive. This was the first time he had ever read a person's heart so directly.
Haha, this is absolutely hilarious!
"Should I believe you? You haven't lied to me?" Li Yuanke pressed his fingertip against Shen Shixi's lips.
Shen Shixi opened her mouth and took his finger in, her soft tongue sweeping over it. Li Yuanke almost lost his balance when he heard her call out sweetly, "Brother-in-law~~~!"
The melody is melodious and lingering, its sound echoing around the beams.
The emperor was so angry that he almost flew into a rage. He threw her aside and strode into the palace.
Shen Shixi chuckled and followed him inside, plopping down on the emperor's lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Has Your Majesty had dinner yet? Would you like me to have some with you?"
The emperor ignored her and drank the tea that Li Fude served him, but his eyes still lingered on Shen Shixi out of the corner of his eye.
Li Fude, having only recently begun interacting with Shen Shixi, has come to realize that Shen Baolin is no ordinary person.
She was born with stunning beauty, but her skin was thicker than a palace wall.
Bai Ping and the others were completely stunned, their emotions fluctuating wildly.
The emperor took a sip himself and was about to put it on the table when he suddenly had a whim and fed it to Shen Shixi.
Shen Shixi was quite generous. He took a sip from the emperor's hand, then leaned on his shoulder and played with his belt, looking very comfortable.
Instead, they managed to put Li Yuanke in a difficult position!
Skin her alive and tear her apart? Wipe out her entire family?
The Grand Tutor passed away less than two years ago.
And what's the reason?
She cursed me in her heart!
The world probably thinks he's crazy!
Li Yuanke suddenly picked her up and walked straight towards the inner hall.
He has his own way of punishing her.
A short while later, inappropriate noises came from inside the hall, so Li Fude and the others moved further away.
It's not even dark yet!
Shen Shixi didn't expect this bastard to be so crazy, but she was not to be outdone. The two fought each other to a standstill. Li Yuanke had never encountered someone so wild before, and for a moment he forgot his status.
The pain from his lips spurred him on, and he ripped off Shen Shixi's belt.
But when it really came down to it, she quit!
pain!
Li Yuange was furious. He held her down, saying, "Do you think I can take it back now?"
Shen Shixi wasn't really unwilling to do it. After a while, she calmed down and started to fight with Li Yuanke for the initiative. After a fierce battle, they lay down, drenched in sweat, like dead dogs.
Li Yuanke was truly impressed; this time, he was even more exhausted than if he had slept with ten concubines in one night.
Shen Shixi was going to sleep, but she needed to shower. She called to Bai Ping to prepare water in a hoarse voice, and kicked Li Yuanke, "I need to shower!"
"Go by yourself!" Li Yuanke didn't want to move either.
She was cooperative, but she was also very demanding. One minute she would tell him what to do, the next she would complain about him, and when it really mattered, he had to do it himself.
"I can't walk, my legs are too weak!" Shen Shixi was extremely aggrieved. She struggled to get onto him and cried out, "Your Majesty~~~!"
She traced his eyebrows with her fingers, whispering sweet nothings, "So handsome, how could someone be so good-looking?"
Li Yuanke glanced at her sideways, waiting.
Sure enough, it didn't disappoint him!
[You scoundrel! Use me and throw me away, heartless and ungrateful. Next time, I'll make you carry your back to court!]
Li Yuanke sneered inwardly. He wanted to see what she would do next.
With the water ready, Li Yuanke carried her to the washroom, shoved her into the water, rinsed her a couple of times, and then lifted her out.
"I'm not clean!" Shen Shixi grabbed the edge of the bucket.
"I haven't washed yet!"
After teasing her a couple more times, Shen Shixi realized that Li Yuanke was doing it on purpose, but she couldn't figure out what she had done to offend him.
He felt that things were different after becoming emperor, and within a few years, he developed psychological problems and clearly went mad.
If she goes crazy, she's in quite a danger.
But she was exhausted, so Shen Shixi didn't think much of it. She was thrown onto the bed, pulled the covers over herself, and went to sleep.
After my first time serving the emperor, I still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
When Li Yuanke came over, he saw that she was wrapped in a quilt, without even leaving him a corner of the quilt. He was furious and grabbed the quilt to wrap himself in.
Shen Shixi had half her body exposed to the cold. It was chilly in the early spring, but she didn't care. He could try to make her sick if he dared to!
Li Yuanke was waiting for her to snatch the blanket, but she didn't move.
Li Yuange resisted the urge to throw her off the bed, and pulled her into his arms with his long arm.
In the harem, no one ever dared to sleep in front of him, nor did anyone ever dare to leave him without a blanket. However, he never shared a blanket with anyone.
After he had served the emperor, even if the concubines were not dismissed, he would still have a separate bed with them.
That night, Li Yuanke had a dream in which a large rock fell from the sky and pressed on his chest, almost suffocating him to death.
After finally breaking free, Li Yuanke woke up to find Shen Shixi's head resting on his chest, her legs curled up, the blanket pressed under her, and half of his body exposed, his nose stuffy from the cold.
This is the downside of issuing an imperial decree to select candidates.
A girl sleeping like that wouldn't make it to the final selection; she'd be eliminated in the first two rounds.
Li Yuanke lifted her up, straightened her, wrapped them both in the blanket, and closed his eyes again.
In the middle of the night, Li Yuanke woke up again and asked in a hoarse voice, "Not going to sleep anymore?"
No one answered him. He looked and saw that Shen Shixi was still asleep, but her hand...
He didn't remove it, nor could he resist.
Shen Shixi was awakened and was so angry she wanted to kill someone, but then she heard the emperor grit his teeth and say, "You provoked me yourself!"
She...she clung to Li Yuanke's shoulders, crying and cursing, "What did I do to offend you? You bastard!"
Li Yuanke looked at her fair neck curved like a crescent moon, and saw tears rolling down her red eyes. A wave of shock overwhelmed him.
An unprecedented sensation shot straight to the top of my head, as if my soul had been emptied out, and I instantly lost my will.
