After the rebellion was successful, I realized that this place was the Red Mansion

Chapter 140 The Alluring Beauty, the Simple-minded Xiangyun, and the Passionate Daiyu

Xiangyun parted her lips from Chu Yan's, panting, and looked at him with her moist almond eyes. After a long while, she pursed her lips, touched her lips with her slender fingers, and couldn't help but say, "It feels so numb."

Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh, stroking her burning cheeks with his hand, and asked her, "Didn't you feel it the previous times?"

Xiangyun, still panting, her face as radiant as a peach blossom, looked up at him with a shy smile and said, "The first two times I kissed you... my head was spinning, and I couldn't really taste anything. This time, I was much more careful..."

She blushed as she spoke.

Chu Yan put his arm around Xiangyun's waist and sighed at her charming and adorable nature. No one else could say such a thing. Even Qin Keqing would only be passionate in bed.

Xiangyun, however, boldly spoke her mind.

Because of Xiangyun's honest and straightforward nature, she exudes a natural charm at this moment.

Chu Yan then laughed and said, "Let's do it again." As he spoke, he tried to kiss her.

Xiangyun quickly covered her mouth and dodged away, smiling at him and saying, "I'm so hot. If you kiss me again, I'll start sweating, and that will be uncomfortable."

Chu Yan said seriously, "It should be hot. At this time, we should take off our clothes and tease each other. That's the fun between husband and wife."

Upon hearing this, Xiangyun paused for a moment, then looked down at her own clothes. She noticed her slender waist and chest, her skirt disheveled, and her legs wrapped around his waist.

She glanced at him again, imagining the two of them undressed and facing each other in bed, and a wave of pleasure washed over her, making her mouth dry and her speech increasingly slurred.

"We are not yet married, so we cannot take off our clothes..."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Chu Yan smiled and embraced Xiangyun, who was biting her tongue, and cuddled with her tenderly.

When dealing with the young ladies among the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, it's most boring to swallow them whole; savoring them little by little is the best approach.

Xiangyun buried her face in his arms, blushing and remaining silent.

After a while, Chu Yan called out to the outside, "Go and call Consort Qin here."

Hearing this, Xiangyun struggled to get up, but Chu Yan still held her, saying, "It's okay, you can go back and rest when she arrives."

Xiangyun retorted, "When the eldest mistress comes and sees me like this, she'll laugh herself to death."

"How could that be? She knows far more than you do."

Chu Yan was full of energy, so he wanted them to serve him together. He coaxed Xiangyun for a while and then kissed her.

After a while, a concubine dressed in a gorgeous palace gown, accompanied by several palace maids, arrived at Linjing Hall. She smiled slightly and asked the eunuch outside:
"Is His Majesty inside?"

The eunuchs and palace maids standing outside the palace couldn't help but be attracted by her stunning beauty.

She was wearing a wide-sleeved silk robe rarely seen in modern times, with a white shawl half-covering and half-revealing her neck, wrapped around her shoulders and back, with the ends hanging down beside her arms, lightly covering her breasts. Her hair was adorned with gold and jade hairpins, making her look rich, graceful, charming and delicate. She was truly the most beautiful woman in the harem, and none of the other concubines could compare to her.

She was none other than Consort Qin, who had recently entered the palace. These past few days, every time the eunuchs saw her coming to serve the emperor, she would dress up in such a flamboyant manner. Other concubines in the palace could not imitate her attire, such as Noble Lady Zhou, who also wanted to imitate her style, but only managed to imitate her in a poor imitation.

Only Qin Fei's seemingly gentle and peaceful yet charming and passionate face could carry off this gorgeous makeup.

With two beautiful maids accompanying her, her stunning beauty was even more apparent, which made the emperor favor her greatly, summoning her to his bedchamber every few days.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty and Miss Yun are in the east side room," a palace maid replied respectfully.

"Sister Yun is here too?"

Qin Keqing was initially surprised, but she was neither angry nor jealous. Instead, a playful smile appeared on her beautiful and charming face. Before the palace maid could go inside to report, she hurriedly went in.

Upon entering, they arrived at the east side room. Baozhu lifted the curtain, and Qin Keqing peeked inside, witnessing a scene that made her blush and smile:
Xiangyun was embraced and kissed by His Majesty. The girl, who was not yet married, could not bear this. Her face flushed red from the kiss, and she responded awkwardly to His Majesty.

"Shh~"

Qin Keqing raised her slender finger to her lips and gestured to Baozhu and Ruizhu before tiptoeing in front of the two.

Baozhu and Ruizhu exchanged a glance. If it were before, they would have gone in to serve as well, and at night they would serve the emperor together with their grandmother.

But since Miss Shi was inside, they couldn't go in, so they lowered the curtain and waited outside.

"Your Majesty~"

Qin Keqing smiled and bent down, bringing her eyes close to the two of them. She stared intently at His Majesty and Xiangyun kissing. The girl, Xiangyun, still had her eyes closed and was kissing him. She was probably so happy that she didn't know the world was in her head and her soul was melting. She had no idea that Qin Keqing had come.
His Majesty, however, was different. As soon as Qin Keqing entered the room, he opened his eyes, kissed Xiangyun, and looked at her with his eyes.

So Qin Keqing called out sweetly, "Your Majesty~".

Chu Yan met her gaze. That's why people say Qin Keqing is naturally alluring.

Others might think of coming over to watch him kiss Xiangyun, but certainly not like Qin Keqing, whose eyes held both playful amusement and seductive allure.

Furthermore, as she bent over, her two ripe, peach-like buttocks and slender waist formed a wonderful curve, truly exuding a fiery allure.

As Chu Yan guided Xiangyun, their lips and tongues entwined, he reached out and smeared a little rouge from Qin Keqing's bright red lips onto her face.

Three rouge marks on the left cheek and three on the right cheek, forming the shape of a cat.

"Your Majesty, I want some too!"

After he finished painting, Qin Keqing climbed onto the bed and nestled gently against him, but she did not compete with Xiangyun for his favor. She simply looked at him with moist eyes.

Being alluring all the time will only bore people. What Chu Yan loves most is her gentle and easygoing nature during the day, and her incredibly seductive side at night.

After a while, Xiangyun slowly separated from Chu Yan, but she kept her eyes closed and her chest heaving as she breathed heavily.

Qin Keqing looked on with a smile.

When Yun opened her eyes, she leaned closer to Xiangyun's face and asked, "Is Miss Yun alright?"

"!!" Shi Xiangyun's eyes widened suddenly, and she fell backward in fright. Fortunately, Chu Yan caught her waist, preventing her from falling onto the couch.

Qin Keqing laughed so hard she almost fell over, covering her mouth with her slender hand. After a while, she stopped laughing, took Yun's hand, and said in a gentle tone, "Miss Yun, please don't mind. I wasn't making fun of you. It was just some lighthearted fun in our private time."

Xiangyun blushed deeply, clearly embarrassed, and struggled to leave the Emperor's embrace.

Chu Yan laughed and said, "Yun'er, are you going back? Or would you like to sit a little longer?" Pointing at Qin Keqing, he said, "Ke'er has been watching you for a long time. You can stay and see how I punish her."

Xiangyun's heart skipped a beat. Although she was not yet married and knew nothing about the intimate affairs in the bedroom, she could roughly guess that this so-called punishment was a shameful thing.

She glanced at the two of them, and especially at Qin Keqing's gorgeous attire, her wide-sleeved robe and semi-transparent shawl, and the alluring charm in her eyes, which made her feel shy.

She stammered, "Do all the concubines in the palace dress like this?"

Chu Yan shook his head and said, "No, you can wear whatever you want. Ke'er is wearing this because I mentioned the beauty of the Tang Dynasty, so she asked the tailor to make this dress. It is very beautiful and is different from the jackets, long coats, and skirts that women usually wear nowadays."

Xiangyun blushed and nodded. Qin Keqing nestled against Chu Yan, beckoned to her, and said with a smile, "Yun girl, come into His Majesty's arms too."

Xiangyun refused to agree, but she didn't leave either.

Qin Keqing smiled and said, "According to the seniority in the manor, I should call you aunt, but now that I have entered the palace, I no longer use the old title, so I will call you Miss Yun."

Xiangyun smiled and said, "Of course, Your Highness is a few years older than me and entered the palace earlier."

After chatting for a while, Xiangyun felt thirsty, so she picked up the teacup on the low table and took a sip.

Setting down her cup, Xiangyun saw Qin Keqing and her emperor brother kissing across from her. Remembering his words, Xiangyun shyly watched the two of them.

As she looked around, she realized something was wrong.

Compared to when he kissed her, when the emperor kissed Qin Keqing, his hands were very unruly, first on her waist, then moving upwards, slowly caressing her.

Before long, Qin Keqing's clothes were half undone, revealing her smooth, rounded shoulders and large expanses of snow-white skin.

Xiangyun couldn't bear to watch any longer and quickly jumped off the soft couch, intending to leave.

"Yun'er."

Chu Yan called out to her and waved to her. Xiangyun hesitated for a moment, but in the end she obediently went to him and was kissed on the cheek by Chu Yan.

"Alright, go back and rest. While you're at it, call Baozhu and Ruizhu in," Chu Yan said with a smile.

Although Qin Keqing was capable on her own, she was able to do so without any worries because she had maids to serve her. When she was tired, the maids would help her push.

"My brother the emperor is such a tyrant!"

Xiangyun couldn't help but whisper something. Seeing that he wasn't angry, she turned around with a smile and walked out, lifting the curtain and calling two maids in to keep him company.

As she stepped out of the palace, the evening breeze brushed against her burning cheeks. She was still somewhat absent-minded, thinking about what had happened inside the palace.

"Is the young lady sick?" Cuilu walked over and looked at her face.

Xiangyun said, "I'm not sick."

"Why is your face red if you're not sick?"

"It's stuffy in the palace. His place is not as good as our garden. There's a spacious courtyard right outside the door."

Xiangyun lied.

Cuilu had no doubts and smiled, "I went to the Imperial Garden the other day. It is indeed not as big as the main garden, but the flowers and plants are excellent. The vines even connected a long corridor. It's amazing how long they are."

"I heard from my brother the Emperor that the garden of Daming Palace is much bigger."

Xiangyun smiled and went back to the east wing with her to stay.

The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs remained silent, secretly laughing at how ignorant Miss Yun's servants were, not even aware that their young mistress was favored.

After a while, His Majesty's voice came from inside: "You should all go back to sleep."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuchs and palace maids all knew that His Majesty intended to visit Consort Qin and her two maids, and that he would bathe and change clothes the following morning. So they slowly withdrew, leaving only a few people to keep watch at night.

……

Just as Chu Yan finished his intimate moment with Xiang Yun and returned to bed with Qin Keqing, Lin Daiyu, after taking her medicine, lay down in the west wing and silently shed tears.

With the palace gates locked and imperial power oppressing, the two mansions are about to become the emperor's temporary palace, and even the Yihong Courtyard where Baoyu used to live will be occupied.

All that happened in the past has become the mess left behind after the grand feast has ended.

She is naturally inclined to part ways rather than gather together. She is happy when she is with others, but feels desolate and sad when she leaves. It would have been better if she had never met or gathered with anyone in the first place.

"Girl, go to sleep," Zijuan said softly.

Daiyu did not answer.

Zijuan added, "The emperor didn't punish you, Miss. He just let it go lightly. In my opinion, even if you plead for him again, he will still grant your request."

The conversation was full of talk about how favored Daiyu was.

Daiyu still didn't answer, and turned her back to her.

She's just being stubborn.
