"Your Majesty, I didn't send you a sachet."

Bu Ji lowered her brows and looked at Li Ji innocently. She stretched out her hand and was about to pull the corner of his clothes, but Li Ji flicked his sleeves, leaving her empty-handed.

Cui Lihua laughed out loud, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and pretended to persuade.

"Your Majesty, please listen to what Sister Bu has to say. Why are you so impatient?"

Bu Ji's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, he put it down pretending to be calm, then suddenly lowered his head and knelt on the ground.

"My thank you gift is a painting of autumn scenery in the mountains and streams."

"I accidentally lost the sachet. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask Ke Yan from Yongshou Hall. She was serving Prince Yu last night and even gave me some moss tea before she left."

Li Ji looked at her with interest, holding the smooth indigo teacup in his big hands and stroking the wall of the cup with his fingertips.

"Moss tea?"

Bu Ji straightened his back and said something that suddenly occurred to him.

"I heard that this moss tea is what the emperor likes recently, so I went to ask His Royal Highness Prince Yu for it."

"Your Highness felt sorry for my deep love for the Emperor, so he generously gave it to me."

Prince Yu is truly her lucky star; this is the second time he has saved her.

Li Ji curled the corners of his lips, put down the teacup in his hand, clasped her slender arm with one hand, and helped her stand up.

"In that case, I will go to your palace tonight and you should make me a pot of moss tea."

Cui Lihua's face changed drastically and she shouted.

"emperor!"

"Didn't you say that we should go to the Yanxi Palace tonight? I will dance a Western dance for you."

"Besides, Sister Bu is still menstruating, how can she serve the emperor?"

Li Ji released his hand that was holding Bu Ji's elbow and wrist, glanced at the woman beside him who was as quiet as a virgin, and looked at Cui Lihua's crazy shouting.

There was a sudden chill in his eyes, and he spoke sternly.

"General Cui's memorial has already been placed before you. I don't want to hear the same thing a second time."

The emperor allowed her to enter the palace to accompany him in grinding ink and serving tea because her father, General Cui, was over 60 years old and had written a letter to ask for his favor on her behalf. If she made more excessive demands, it would be really annoying.

Cui Lihua was sulking. She twisted the handkerchief into a hemp rope with her hands and stared at the memorial spread out on the table.

Her father said that he had a daughter in his old age and they had been separated for many years, so he asked the emperor to love her more and ask her to accompany him more often. The emperor did so, but why did he refuse to do this last thing, to let her conceive an heir as soon as possible?

How could she get pregnant if the emperor didn't stay in the Yanxi Palace?

Just when she was feeling helpless, Bu Ji unexpectedly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the moss tea that Prince Yu gave me is wet and has not been dried yet. I'm afraid it will ruin Your Majesty's mood tonight."

"Once the tea is ready, I will personally bring it to the Emperor some other day."

"Your Highness is right. I am not fully recovered yet, so I am afraid it is not convenient for me to serve you in bed."

She openly refused the favor, and even Cui Lihua was shocked by her, not realizing what her trick was.

Li Ji didn't get angry but laughed instead. He stretched out his hand, wiped the gray powder at the corner of her lips with the tip of his thumb, and said jokingly with his eyes narrowed.

"Whether it is convenient or not, I will know after I try it."

He knelt outside the palace for a long time and refused to get up, and was painted to look sick.

Isn't it because he was busy these days and didn't have time to accompany her, so she came to him on her own to seek his love?

When he saw Cui here again, he started to get angry.

Bu Ji swallowed and bit his fingertips lightly, feeling extremely nervous.

Try...

How to try this kind of thing?

Cui Lihua was so angry that her teeth were itching. What a tactic of playing hard to get. The emperor had no intention of having her sleep with him in the first place, but she was the first to make the final decision.

This is just forcing the emperor to say this, otherwise the emperor would not think of favoring her.

The red mole on her hand is the best evidence.

"Your Majesty!"

Before Bu Ji could think of what to say, a violent force suddenly swept across her lower back like a storm, and she couldn't help but scream out in surprise.

Li Ji actually held her directly onto his lap.

Bu Ji stretched out his arms and naturally put them around his neck, with the wide gauze sleeves falling to his shoulders.

I don’t know whether Li Ji did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he stepped on the hem of her skirt.

The white rope around her chest was loose, and the bra that bound two lumps of soft flesh was shaky, as if if she twisted her body a few more times, a glimmer of spring light would be revealed.

She didn't dare to move, as if she was deliberately sticking to Li Ji.

Cui Lihua almost scolded her in front of the emperor as a shameless slut, but then she thought that she was now a noble concubine, and would become the empress in the future by virtue of her son's status, and she absolutely could not let the emperor think she was not magnanimous enough.

"I will withdraw first."

She bowed, turned around, tore the handkerchief in her hand into pieces, and walked out clutching the rag.

As soon as I walked out, a loud slap came from under the window.

"What the hell are you doing letting her in when you knew I was in there?"

Cui Lihua stretched out her hand, but used too much force and her nails broke in two. She then pointed at Chunqu's nose and cursed.

Chunqu covered her red and swollen face and sobbed.

"I was not outside the palace just now..."

The person who let Bu Ji in was Wang Huai, who was standing next to her at the moment. She didn't beat Wang Huai but instead taught a lesson to the third-class palace maid beside her.

The words were said for Wang Huai to hear, and the beating was also done for Wang Huai to see.

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey is like making an indirect criticism of someone else.

Wang Huai had been with the emperor for many years. He saw through Cui Lihua's thoughts at a glance, walked up to her and spoke respectfully.

"My Lady, the noble lady Bu is in great favor now. You should come back to accompany him after a while. Perhaps the emperor will be willing to turn over your name card."

The concubines vied with each other to bring food to the emperor and bribe the eunuchs during the day, just for the emperor to shiver at night and give them the dragon seed in their bellies.

Cui Lihua's efforts were wasted, and in the end Bu Ji took the lead.

She glanced at Wang Huai with disdain, raised her head, and walked out of the Qianqing Palace arrogantly.

At the very least, she was a concubine second only to the emperor. Did she need the courtesy of a small nobleman to gain the emperor's favor?

She had plenty of ways to convince Bu Ji.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Bu Ji naturally heard the conversation outside, and also heard Cui Lihua beating someone.

She raised her head and looked at the emperor with naked eyes.

It was noisy outside, but the expression on his face didn't change at all.

In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Cui Lihua beating and scolding the palace maids who served her.

Concubines have this right. Even if they beat to death the palace maids and eunuchs around them, they would only be confined to their homes for a few months.

"emperor......"

"Put me down first."

She twisted her waist and tried to get up from him, but the big hand around her waist tightened its grip.

She screamed, and the skirt on her chest fell loosely to her waist, revealing her delicate skin as white as snow, even whiter than the plain dress.

She just looked thin in her clothes, but she didn't treat herself badly on a daily basis.

The pink bellyband embroidered with azaleas covered her tall and firm chest, barely enough to cover her beautiful heart.
