Chapter 259 Huanbi 28
(Please do not bring modern values into this chapter. I bow and ask for your help.)
In the empty Yangxin Palace, Huanbi silently lowered her head and wept.
She asked herself, what was the point of this between her and the emperor?
She already had the answer in her heart, and it was a matchmaking without a matchmaker.
Huanbi could no longer escape, and she finally realized that her best option was to cut her losses in time.
Huanbi is self-aware. She is not good-looking, nor is she talented, and she is of humble origin. Her only bright spot is her innocence, which gives her some value and gives her the confidence to marry someone as his wife.
At this moment, she was glad that she had stuck to her bottom line.
Whether she wants to marry someone else, give up her job as a cook and become a virtuous wife of an ordinary family, or wants to grab this ladder to heaven and fight for herself and her mother, the most urgent thing is that she must preserve the last precious thing of herself.
Then, think carefully about your next path.
Huanbi stayed awake all night, thinking about the unpredictable future.
……
It was already dawn, and the emperor did not return to the Yangxin Palace until after the morning court session.
Concubine Hua came well prepared last night. Although it was a bit unfair to Huanbi, he couldn't refuse to go.
Fortunately, Huanbi did not lose her temper and served him tea and water as usual.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little uncomfortable. As he had nothing to do at the moment, he reached out and tried to pull the person into his arms and sit down. "It was my fault last night. I was a good medicine for curing diseases, but I left you for too long. Come, I will make it up to you now."
It had been a few hours since he last had eaten, and he missed the tender and smooth little fish.
Huanbi blushed at his words. During this period, even when the emperor had to review memorials, he would hold her in his arms and rub her from time to time to soothe her, as if she was a puppet that he could control.
Although she was used to the emperor's behavior, the situation was different now and she didn't want to continue to obey. "Your Majesty, men and women should not touch each other. Although it is for the purpose of treating my illness, but..."
Men cannot be overfed.
She was wrong before. She just did whatever the emperor said. If she continued like this, the emperor would find her boring sooner or later.
"But what?"
The emperor sounded impatient. He was woken up in the middle of the night and had to deal with disputes in the harem. He had to get up early to attend court and listen to the ministers' quarrels. He was busy for so long, but when he returned to the Yangxin Palace, he was not even allowed to hug Huanbi?
Huanbi seemed to be frightened, and immediately knelt down tremblingly, "It is my fault, please forgive me this time, Your Majesty."
The emperor became even more annoyed, and he forced himself to soften his tone, "Get up."
His tone was just a little harsh, he didn't mean to make Huanbi kneel down and admit her mistake. Huanbi was his woman, he would not bully her at will.
But Huanbi would not give up just because she was ahead. She was going to make trouble today. "I dare not."
The emperor was so angry that he laughed, "So what do you want?"
Huh? Huanbi looked at the emperor in surprise. She thought she would be kicked out directly if she said that.
"Just tell me, what do you want to do?"
Huanbi avoided answering, "Then the emperor should agree to this servant first, and I will talk about it later."
She dared to raise conditions. The emperor wanted to grab her and give her a couple of slaps to vent his anger.
But Huanbi twisted her body and made a fuss, refusing to get up.
The emperor gritted his teeth and for the first time regretted spoiling this girl like this. Just now he knelt down out of pity for her, but now it seemed that he was just pretending.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time, and it was the emperor who was the first to give in and retreated helplessly, "Well, go ahead."
Seeing him like this, Huanbi became confused. Did she take the wrong path again?
With such doubts, Huanbi spoke hesitantly after rehearsing several times, "I think, well, after resting for so long, it's time to go back to Suiyuxuan..."
The emperor's first reaction was, "Did someone bully you?"
How could Huanbi, who was staying well in the Yangxin Palace, want to go back to Suiyuxuan to find work for herself? Could it be that someone dared to bully his woman?
Huanbi felt even more embarrassed, lowered her head, and whispered, "No."
"Then why do you suddenly want to go back to Suiyuxuan?"
"This servant..., this servant misses the young mistress."
"Oh," the emperor stopped playing with her, grabbed her in his arms, and tortured her, "Who are you thinking about? Say it again, who are you thinking about?"
"Well..." The voice was gentle and beautiful, obviously suffering from torture, but Huanbi still insisted, "I just want to go back."
This punishment didn't work, so the emperor changed the posture and made the man lie on his legs.
With a "slap", a heavy slap came down, "Are you still going?"
"Still going!"
Another "pop" sound, "Still leaving?"
……
……
"Still leaving?"
"Oh...I won't leave."
Huanbi surrendered too early, and the emperor restored her to power with a sense of loss. It was obvious that he had not yet had enough of his violent energy.
