Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her

Nan Xiang looked at the man's gentle expression, blinked, and denied: "No!"

As she spoke, Nan Xiang saw three or four hibiscus flowers in the palm of her hand, and she suddenly had an idea. She flicked her fingers and the hibiscus flowers onto Ji Qingchen's face, with a bright smile on her face.

Ji Qingchen felt a slight tingling sensation on his face. He looked at the little girl making trouble in front of him, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Nan Xiang was slightly stunned when she saw Ji Qingchen neither dodging nor avoiding. She looked at the unchanging gentleness and doting on the man's face. His deep eyes seemed to swallow her up, and she felt her heart burning.

Seeing that the man didn't come over, Nan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then imitated the man again by flicking the remaining hibiscus flower in her left hand onto his right cheek.

Seeing that he was about to run, he turned his head and pretended to run, with a smug smile on his face and lively eyes.

But she didn't run a few steps before she was caught by Ji Qingchen, and a pair of big hands wrapped around her waist.

Nan Xiang felt her feet lighten and her forehead seemed to touch slightly cool skin.

She was not panicked at all, her cheeks were slightly red, and she turned slightly. Nan Xiang and Ji Qingchen looked into each other's eyes, foreheads touching.

Nan Xiang felt that her whole body was held and turned around twice, like a light butterfly. She looked at the handsome face close to her, with a bright smile, and felt the warm breath of the man. Nan Xiang's cheeks felt slightly hot.

The wind was blowing gently, and hibiscus flowers were falling. Nan Xiang felt her toes touch the ground. She didn't hear what the man said, but just blinked at him blankly. Soon, she felt a cool touch mixed with the faint fragrance of hibiscus flowers on her lips.

Nan Xiang's eyes widened instantly, looking at the aroused man in front of her, feeling the warmth between his lips, her tongue couldn't help but begin to dance with the other one.

Slowly, she began to close her eyes, grabbing the man's back with both hands, her cheeks flushed, responding a little bit immature but enthusiastically.

"Hehehe..."

Unexpectedly, Nan Xiang heard the man's laughter, "Not yet? Huh?"

The man was born with a good-looking appearance. She often marveled at his beauty. He was gentle, but also mean.

Looking at the smile in the man's deep phoenix eyes, Nan Xiang was a little annoyed for a moment. She opened her lips slightly and took a bite with her teeth.

Soon, the air that was originally filled with only a faint scent of hibiscus flowers was now filled with a faint smell of blood.

Ji Qingchen knew that he had pissed off the little girl. The stinging pain on her lips didn't matter. The little girl's lively and angry look was also particularly charming.

He deepened the passionate kiss.

After Nan Xiang bit it, she saw that the man was still kissing her gently but domineeringly, which made her sink more and more. Although the bloody kiss felt strange, her heart was a little excited.

The kiss lasted for a long time, and Ji Qingchen reluctantly let go. Nan Xiang's anger had long since disappeared. Looking at the man's red lips, she felt distressed and quickly took the man's hand and walked forward.

"Where are you going?" Ji Qingchen still looked at Nan Xiang silently with a gentle expression, but there was some confusion in his eyes.

The man was dressed in a silver-white snow-white robe, with his black hair half-tied and more obediently scattered, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and his whole temperament was cold and revealed a worldly majesty. However, during the passionate kiss, his robe was a little wrinkled, his hair was messy, the corners of his eyes were still red, and his lips were naturally redder, especially after being bitten by a little girl. It was like a cold immortal who was stained by the world of mortals, and fell into a calamity and confused Nan Xiang's heart.

Looking at the man's slightly dazed look, Nan Xiang chuckled.

"Idiot, go get some medicine for you!"

Ji Qingchen was not angry at the little girl calling him a fool, but he became softer and softer, and the smile in his eyes deepened. He obediently let the little girl lead him forward. However, he quietly changed the normal hand holding to interlocking fingers.

...

While there is warmth and affection here, there are undercurrents in the palace, and all forces are harboring calculations.

Inside the Yiku Palace, all the concubines sat together.

The pavilion has an elegant style, and outside the pavilion are a profusion of flowers in all colors, with rich floral fragrance lingering in the air.

Although spring had long passed, there were still many flowers blooming in the Yikun Palace in late autumn, and in September, chrysanthemums were the most prosperous. In the entire palace, except for the Imperial Garden, Concubine Xu's Yikun Palace had the most complete variety of flowers.

The variety of flowers in the Queen's Fengyi Palace is not as good as that in the Yiku Palace. One of the reasons is that Queen Ji has little interest in flowers and plants. This is true for both Ji Qingyan in the past and Ji Qingchen now.

"I don't compete for spring beauty or fragrance, I just enjoy being purple and yellow when I don't flatter. Sister Imperial Concubine, the black chrysanthemums in your palace are blooming so beautifully." A woman in light pink palace dress said with a smile.

Concubine Xu raised her eyes and looked at Wen Cairen who was sitting in the lower seat. With a faint smile on her lips, she said in a gentle voice:

"If Miss Wen likes it, I will ask Suorou to send someone to deliver a basin to your palace."

"I think the Imperial Concubine spent a lot of effort to cultivate this black chrysanthemum. Wen Cairen should be very grateful. For a black chrysanthemum, as my sister said, it is right not to fight or compete."

Concubine Li had a gentle smile on her face, and was giving a seemingly "kind" reminder.

Wen Cairen was about to express her gratitude, but Concubine Li "reminded" her first. The smile on her face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She bowed and said:

"Thank you for the reward, Sister Guifei, and thank you for the reminder, Sister Lifei. I will definitely remember it."

Concubine Li looked at Wen Cairen casually, with a smile on her face but full of sneer in her heart.

Humph, this bitch!

Her gaze slowly turned to Concubine Sun. Although her smile remained unchanged, the disdain in her eyes became even stronger.

After all, Concubine Wen was a young lady from an official family who entered the palace through a formal selection, while Concubine Sun was just an orphan who was brought back to the palace after being favored by His Majesty among the people. She was not worthy of being in the upper class.

But it just so happens that this orphan girl has been enjoying the emperor's favor recently. Even someone as arrogant as Xu Hanying might be filled with hatred for her, right?

Humph, she is just relying on the fact that she suddenly has a powerful father and the Xu family is behind her. How could Your Majesty treat her sincerely?

Concubine Li tightened her grip on the teacup slightly, and her smile became more bitter and sarcastic.

Sincerity? In this deep palace, sincerity is the least valuable thing.

Shu Xiuyi had always been at odds with Concubine Li. When she saw Concubine Li scolding Wen Cairen, she did not stop her. After Concubine Li finished speaking, she slowly spoke:

"Sister Li Fei, I'm afraid your words are a bit harsh. Sister Gui Fei hasn't expressed her opinion yet."

Seeing that Concubine Li seemed a little absent-minded and trance-like, Shu Xiuyi felt relieved to have the opportunity to rebuke her.

Everyone could hear that Shu Xiuyi was implying that Concubine Li was interfering in other people's affairs and didn't take Concubine Xu seriously at all. Concubine Li naturally understood, but she was not stupid enough to admit it, and she still smiled:

"Did Sister Xiuyi hear wrongly? I just wanted Concubine Wen to learn some rules to avoid making a fool of herself in Yikun Palace and gaining a reputation of being untrustworthy. Besides, the Empress is not feeling well, and this chrysanthemum viewing banquet was organized by the Imperial Concubine. We cannot let irrelevant people ruin the Imperial Concubine's reputation and lose the dignity of our Daqian royal family."

After listening to these words, Wen Cairen lowered his head, his face became paler, and he was full of grievances and resentment, but he could only grit his teeth and swallow the bitterness. He dared not refute, nor did he want to shed tears, which would only make others laugh at him.

Concubine Xu still had a bright and charming smile on her face. She moved her nails painted with red nail polish slightly and then said:

"Sister Li Fei is thoughtful."

After hearing Concubine Li's response, Shu Xiuyi still felt disdainful in her heart, but her smile was just right, and she looked straightforward:

"It's already September, and the wind seems to be stronger today than yesterday. Sister Lifei, don't you mind?"

Concubine Li raised her lips slightly: "Of course not."

Everyone knew clearly that Shu Xiuyi was using the strong wind to cover up her recent bullying of Concubine Li, but no one would expose her.

After all, watching the two of them fighting openly and secretly was actually a fun thing at this chrysanthemum viewing banquet.

Shu Xiuyi added: "Sister Guifei has so many chrysanthemums here, and she also gave a pot of black chrysanthemums to Wen Cairen. I wonder if the other sisters..."

Before she finished speaking, Concubine Xu had seen through her thoughts, but it was not a big deal, and she could still save some favors by going with the flow, so she responded:

"Sisters, if you like any of these, just tell me. But if you want to get these chrysanthemums, you must write a poem like Wen Cairen, which is the best gift for these chrysanthemums."

Everyone bowed to Concubine Xu and said, "Thank you, Concubine."

Looking at the concubines bowing to her, even the concubines of higher rank were no exception, Xu Hanying felt extremely happy.

Although she didn't see that person saluting her, she knew that it would be soon. The position of the Queen of Daqian, the power to rule the six palaces, would soon be hers, and it would only be hers in the future.

Concubine Xu's bright smile concealed deep ambition. As she looked at the chrysanthemums that Xia Qinghai and Wu Qiuhong had just sent people to move in and place in the center of the courtyard, the smile between her eyebrows became more intense.

The concubines looked at the chrysanthemums blooming in the center and could not help but exclaim in amazement.

This pot of chrysanthemums is huge, with layers of white petals, just like the feathers of a phoenix, slender and slightly curled, blooming wantonly. From a distance, it looks like a jade phoenix perched on a fairy platform, noble and elegant.

Concubine Xu was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, with a bright and generous smile on her face:

"This is Yaotai Jade Phoenix. Over the years, I have only cultivated this one."

Xu Guifei's trusted maid Suorou received the order and continued:

"Your Highness has spent countless efforts to cultivate these chrysanthemums, especially the Jade Phoenix on the Jade Terrace. I feel so distressed when I see it. But Your Highness thought that late autumn has arrived and His Majesty's birthday is approaching, so she wanted to invite all the ladies to come and enjoy the flowers together, so as not to let these chrysanthemums bloom in vain..."

Concubine Xu glanced at Suorou indifferently and said, "You are the only one who talks too much."

Suorou immediately accepted the order, apologized, and stepped aside.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian secretly snorted in her heart. She didn't care about the trick of the master and servant singing the same tune. She just smiled lightly, showing her gentleness and calmness:

"I think this Jade Phoenix on the Jade Terrace is so precious, and the Imperial Concubine is so affectionate to Your Majesty, are you planning to present it to Your Majesty?"

The smile on Concubine Xu's face froze slightly. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a smiling and deep voice coming from afar:

"Oh? My beloved concubine has a gift for me?"

Everyone then reacted and looked towards the bright yellow figure approaching, and bowed in greeting.

Emperor Chengming had a faint smile on his face and glanced at everyone. Concubine Xu had not yet finished her greetings.

He quickly reached out his hand to help her up, and said softly, "My beloved, there is no need to be so polite."

Concubine Xu gently hooked her hands around the dragon robe on Emperor Chengming's chest and called out tenderly, "Your Majesty."

The smile on Emperor Chengming's face deepened, and he held her hand, and the two walked hand in hand to the high seat. Then, Emperor Chengming turned his eyes to the other concubines and palace maids who were still kneeling, and the smile on his face faded instantly, revealing his majesty:

"No gift."

Everyone secretly sighed in their hearts that the title of Imperial Concubine was indeed worthy of its name.

Apart from the Queen, no one can compare to Concubine Xu's favor in His Majesty's heart.

The newly favored Concubine Sun looked at the scene in front of her, unable to hide her loneliness.

The reactions of Concubine Xian and Concubine Li were even stronger, their hearts filled with resentment and unwillingness.

However, Wan Zhaoyi, a concubine who was also favored, had a look of indifference.

In her opinion, the emperor's love was illusory. She had tried her best to grasp this favor in the past, just to seek a stable life in this deep palace.

Now, she no longer needs to rely on this favor, and it will be the same in the future.

Looking at Liu Xiuyuan again, she has always had a very low sense of existence, but she gave birth to the fifth son for Emperor Chengming. At this moment, she was sipping the tea in front of her with a faint smile, and the loving scene in front of her did not seem to be a bit irritating to her.

She has never been favored by the emperor.

When she had just given birth to the prince, she had naively hoped to capture the emperor's heart, but over the past few months, she had completely given up on that hope.

Moreover... Liu Xiuyuan slightly turned to the right, raised her eyes and looked at Wan Zhaoyi who was also looking at her. The two smiled at each other and then quickly looked away. Your Majesty owes too much, and they have already submitted their loyalty to the Empress.

Daqian may seem prosperous and powerful on the surface, but in fact it is already riddled with holes on the inside. The treacherous villains are like termites, eroding the foundation of Daqian bit by bit. This prosperous appearance will soon be torn apart, revealing the devastation.

She didn't want to see such an ending. Daqian needed a true and wise leader.

And she only hoped to protect her prince and let him grow up safely.

Just wait for Your Majesty's birthday, until this year's New Year's Eve, and everything will be settled.

Emperor Chengming did not stay long at the chrysanthemum viewing banquet. He just expressed his concern for Concubine Xu and left without even looking at Concubine Sun, who was quite favored during this period.

When everyone saw this, they began to add insult to injury and mocked Concubine Sun.

Under normal circumstances, Concubine Xu would have stepped forward to stop it, but today she just watched it all with a smile and let the situation develop.

In the end, it was Concubine Wan, a concubine who was very popular in the palace, who stepped forward to rescue Concubine Sun.

Concubine Li looked at Wan Zhaoyi and said with a fake smile, "Sister Zhaoyi is so popular in the palace. I really envy her. I wonder if you have any method to convince everyone so that I can learn from you."

Wan Zhaoyi responded calmly: "This is indeed worthy of Sister Li Fei's careful study, otherwise she would not have been confined to her house for the past few months."

Concubine Wan seemed gentle and graceful, a typical Jiangnan beauty, but once she became sharp-tongued, it was really hard to resist. Concubine Li was fortunate to be the first person in the palace to appreciate this side of her.

Concubine Li gritted her teeth and forced a smile:

"Thank you for your concern, sister."
