Chapter 145 The Rough-Hearted Emperor and the Delicate Imperial Concubine 3
"Alright, you can rest now. I'm leaving first." The emperor stood up, and after his visit, no one said anything more.
"Your Majesty...aren't you going to stay?" Chu Yue looked at him expectantly.
The emperor is gone tonight, and tomorrow the other concubines will be laughing at her.
The emperor stopped in his tracks, looking at her delicate appearance and expectant eyes.
Then I remembered that she had the prime minister behind her.
Now that the court is stable, there is no voice of resistance against him.
The Prime Minister has made significant contributions.
When the emperor chose his daughter, he was thinking of bestowing a favor upon him.
"I will stay."
The emperor sat back down.
"Your Majesty...it's so late, aren't you going to rest?" Chu Yue asked again.
The emperor's lips twitched, and he glanced at her as if to ask, "Can you handle it?"
Chu Yue took two steps forward. As she walked, her gauze dress swayed, and a faint, alluring fragrance wafted through the air.
"Your Majesty...please grant me a favor." If she's going to use someone, she wants someone clean. If the emperor wants someone else after she's taken him, then she'll immediately end the mission and run away.
The emperor reached out and took her hand, gently stroking it twice; it was so soft.
He pulled her into his arms again, and to his surprise, her body was even softer. When he got closer, he could smell a faint medicinal fragrance on her, but it wasn't unpleasant.
It must be because Consort Chu often took medicine.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue trembled slightly, panting softly, her breath sweet as orchids, her beautiful eyes fixed on the emperor.
The emperor pulled her closer to him and said in a deep voice, "Settle her in."
He held Chu Yue in his arms and carried her to the bed.
Even after his clothes were removed, the emperor was still asking, "Consort Chu...you..."
Chu Yue knew what he was worried about, so she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss him: "Please, Your Majesty, have mercy..."
Before long, soft moans and hoarse groans could be heard from inside the tent.
In the dead of night, the emperor embraced the sweaty Consort Chu, enjoying a tender moment together.
Chu Yue was panting heavily, her chest heaving, her face flushed, and she lay limp in the emperor's arms with seductive eyes.
"Consort Chu, are you feeling unwell?" The emperor's voice was still a little hoarse.
The emperor had been training since childhood, so he was very tall. Given his physical strength, it was impossible for him to be satisfied so quickly.
But Consort Chu could not bear it any longer, and in the end, she could no longer endure it, so the emperor hastily ended the matter.
"Your Majesty... I'm alright." Chu Yue's petite body nestled against his broad chest, yet they seemed perfectly suited to each other.
"I'll have the imperial physician examine you." The emperor was still worried; it was Consort Chu's first time, and he couldn't bear to see her hurt.
Chu Yue's cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly interrupted him: "Your Majesty, please don't... I'm fine, really, I'm not lying to you."
If the imperial physician were summoned, how could she possibly face anyone in public?
The emperor chuckled softly, embracing her soft body. She was indeed his choice; he was satisfied with her in every way.
"Then I won't look. I'll carry you to take a bath." After saying that, the emperor ordered the servants to bring water.
Chu Yue nodded and leaned against him.
After bathing, Chu Yue felt much better. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the emperor turned and enveloped her, saying, "Consort Chu..."
Chu Yue: "..."
"Your Majesty...it's too late, you need to rest," Chu Yue gently advised.
The emperor remained silent, tearing off her undergarments with his large hands. Her fair and smooth skin made his eyes redden.
"It's still early." The emperor had already leaned down and pressed himself against him.
Chu Yue: "..."
It's really rough. If it continues like this, my body probably won't be able to take it.
Fortunately, the emperor still had a shred of humanity and quickly let her go, afterwards feeling a rare pang of guilt.
Seeing Chu Yue's weak and exhausted state, the emperor comforted her in a deep voice: "Consort Chu is so charming and beautiful that I couldn't help myself for a moment. I won't do it again next time."
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue was exhausted and had no strength left to speak.
The emperor quickly washed up with her in his arms and stayed at the Jade Hibiscus Palace, where he fell asleep holding a woman for the first time.
next day
When Chu Yue woke up, the emperor had already left.
"Your Highness, you're awake." Xiao Tao lifted the beaded curtain and came over to help her.
Chu Yue was receiving the emperor's favor for the first time, and there was still a hint of allure in her eyes and brows, as well as traces of their intimate encounter on her body.
Coupled with her delicate appearance, even Xiao Tao couldn't help but be captivated by her.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Xiao Tao asked worriedly again.
She knew about her mistress's health; it seemed His Majesty had been making a scene for quite a while last night.
"I'm fine, just a little tired." Chu Yue sat up, her body aching, and was already panting.
Xiao Tao supported her, while Xiao Ju fed her warm water and wiped her mouth: "Your Majesty, His Majesty left early this morning and forbade us from disturbing Your Majesty's rest. Your Majesty need not go to pay your respects today."
"How can that be? Help me wash and dress; I'm going to Ningkang to pay my respects in a little while."
If she didn't go, the blame for disrespecting the Empress Dowager and being arrogant because of her favor would fall on her shoulders.
Although Xiaotao and Xiaoju were worried about her, they understood the situation and immediately began to help her with her washing and grooming.
When Chu Yue arrived at Ningkang Palace, the other concubines were already there, talking with the Empress Dowager.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects..." Chu Yue said respectfully.
The Empress Dowager was displeased to see Chu Yue's sickly appearance, but considering the Emperor's attitude, she softened her expression and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
The others also greeted her, saying, "This humble concubine greets Your Highness Consort Chu..."
The Empress Dowager wanted to place her own people around the Emperor, so she didn't give them high ranks from the beginning.
Consort Wang, Consort Liu, and Consort Chen.
Chu Yue nodded and smiled slightly.
"I have a pair of jade ruyi here. Consort Chu, please take them back with you when you go back later and serve the Emperor well."
The formalities still had to be done, so the Empress Dowager gestured for Xiu Ru to present the jade ruyi.
Chu Yue accepted it: "Thank you, Empress Dowager. I will follow your instructions."
"Alright, all of you, go back now. I need to rest." The Empress Dowager was exhausted. Consort Chu had already served the Emperor, so it should be the others' turn tonight.
"Your Majesty, I take my leave..."
Chu Yue was exhausted from the trip, and having just served the emperor last night, she wanted to go back and rest as soon as possible.
"Sister Consort Chu, may I come to sit with you for a while?" Consort Chen stopped her with a smile on her face.
Chu Yue was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's just bad luck today. I'm a little tired. Please invite Consort Chen over for a chat next time."
Consort Chen was taken aback by the rejection and froze for a moment. "Sister, I apologize for disturbing you. Please take care, elder sister."
Chu Yue turned and left.
“Your Highness, why do you have to…” Chen Pin’s maid, Mingzhu, whispered.
Seeing that the other two had already left, Consort Chen said, "Consort Chu served the emperor as soon as she entered the palace. Not only does she have the prime minister behind her, but look at her. Although she is a bit delicate, she is really lovable. His Majesty probably likes her quite a bit."
"Looking so sickly, how can she possibly be favored?" Mingzhu muttered softly.
Consort Chen smiled, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Chu Yue had just returned when the emperor's decree arrived.
"...Consort Chu is deeply loved by me, and I bestow upon her the title 'Rou' (柔), as well as ten bolts of brocade, ten pairs of jade hairpins, and ten pearls."
After shouting loudly, Xiao Caizi grinned and said to Chu Yue, "This servant congratulates Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please accept the decree."
Chu Yue knelt on the ground and respectfully accepted the decree: "Your Majesty, I accept the imperial decree..."
Xiao Tao then handed Xiao Caizi a purse filled with silver coins. Xiao Caizi accepted it with a smile, said a few more flattering words, and then left.
"Your Highness, this servant congratulates Consort Rou," Xiao Tao and Xiao Ju said in unison.
Chu Yue scolded playfully, "You naughty girl..."
The two men helped her inside to rest.
