TPE Chapters 5-6

Chapter 5

After being deflowered, Jiang Si had to lay in bed for three whole days before she recovered. During this period, she didn’t dare to think about the embarrassment she had to face. And Fengzhen bestowed her the title of Consort Jiang. He didn’t even give her a title, and instead, just casually used her surname. 

Even though Fengzhen’s harem didn’t have an exaggerated three thousand women, there were still at least a hundred of them. However, all this time, he didn’t appoint an empress, and the positions of Consort Xian, Consort Shu and Consort Yu were the highest. Amongst the three, Consort Yu was his biological younger cousin, and he pampered her the most, so the calls for her to become the empress were also the highest. 

There were no entertainment activities in the ancient world. There was no internet, no television, and they couldn’t go out as they liked. After Jiang Si had recovered, she could only stare outside the window in a daze. As she thought about how her life was going to be like this from now on, she was worried that she would really be bored to death. 

“Princess, since you have already recovered, why not take the initiative to meet His Majesty?” Qingbi, the only maid who followed her from Country Xuan asked. Jiang Si lowered her gaze as she thought to herself: Without the original owner’s memories, how could she tell if this maid was loyal to her? What if she was a spy planted by the Crown Prince? Jiang Si didn’t dare to take the risk, so she didn’t dare to say much to Qingbi. She simply pretended to think about it before reply, “I have my own plans, you don’t have to say much.” Actually, what she planned to do was to avoid that beast Fengzhen as much as she could, and carefully spend her days in the palace. 

However, those were just her wishful thinking! Just as she scolded Fengzhen for being a beast, Fengzhen’s head eunuch Jinbao came to pass the message, “Greetings, Your Highness Consort Jiang, this servant is passing a message for His Majesty. His Majesty invites you to Zhengyang Palace tonight to serve him.”

Wanting her to serve him in bed again, Fengzhen must have timed this! Her body had just recovered, and he summoned her once again! Jiang Si was extremely unwilling to do so, so she pondered for a moment before replying, “Can you please tell His Majesty that my body hasn’t fully recovered, so I’m afraid I can’t serve His Majesty tonight.” 

Hearing this, Jinbao looked at Jiang Si in bewilderment. In this harem, none of the consorts had ever rejected His Majesty. This Consort Jiang was really brave.

———————————-

Over the next few days, Jiang Si waited anxiously for Fengzhen to summon her again. However, it was as though Fengzhen had lost interest in her and went to other consorts, and didn’t remember her anymore. 

The seventh day finally arrived. Jiang Si was out of options, so she could only take the initiative and make a move. She wore a snowy white muslin dress inside, the translucent fabric revealing the two tender red plums within, and on the outside, she put on a snow fox overcoat. She stepped into the moonlight, leaving her palace. 

It was freezing outside, but Jiang Si’s face was flushed red from anxiety. What would she do if Fengzhen didn’t touch her tonight? The three words “explode and die” constantly reverberated in her mind, it was too terrifying! 

There was a plum garden near the Zhenyang palace. It was blooming beautifully in the winter night, and Jiang Si walked towards the entrance of the garden. Under a plum tree, she stared at the petals of the flowers, looking expectantly towards Fengzhen’s arrival.

Chapter 6

Hearing footsteps from behind, Jiang Si’s heart pounded as quickly as beating drums. She slowly turned around and shrieked in surprise, “Your Majesty!” Fengzhen observed Jiang Si, but it wasn’t clear if he was smiling or not. “Consort Jiang seems to be in a good mood today. You’ve come to the plum garden to view the plums?” As he spoke, he walked deep into the garden. 

Jiang Si followed closely behind him. As the night deepened, the air became more humid, freezing her hands and her feet till they were icy cold. However, in order to survive, she had to press forward and reply, “As the saying goes, it’s a different experience to search for plums at night or have long chats at night over warm wine.” It was such a blatant invitation, Fengzhen should be able to understand it, right? 

Fengzhen didn’t speak, but the withered branches were cracking under his feet, and the sound was knocking against Jiang Si’s heartbeat. She was feeling extremely nervous, as a single word from Fengzhen would determine whether she lived or died! After all, if Fengzhen rejected her, she couldn’t force herself upon him! 

The two walked into a hexagonal pavilion with long eaves, while close to twenty of the palace servants waited outside. Fengzhen and Jiang Si faced each other. His slender finger hooked the belt of Jiang Si’s overcoat, his voice laced with desire, “Since my beloved consort is in such a mood, why don’t you join me in viewing the plums and talking late into the night?” 

Jiang Si finally heaved a sigh of relief. Perhaps, it was because her emotions were all written on her face, because Fengzhen added, “A few days ago, my beloved consort rejected my invitation, so I thought that you didn’t want to meet with me.” Jiang Si thought to herself: What a petty man! Panic appeared on her face, as she explained herself, “How could that be! Your Majesty, this concubine really wasn’t feeling well that day, so I couldn’t serve you.” 

Fengzhen smiled, clarity within his eyes. He had seen too much of the tricks that the women in the harem played. Jiang Si’s acting chops still needed to be honed, her expression was too exaggerated! However, her looks suited his taste, so he felt that it wasn’t bad to do some playacting with her once in a while! 

“Then… my beloved consort… let us enjoy looking at some plums…” After he said it, he pulled the belt in his finger and Jiang Si’s overcoat slid down, revealing the pure white muslin dress underneath!

Jiang Si quickly held the sliding overcoat in place and shouted, “Don’t! Your Majesty!” Fengzhen held Jiang Si by her waist, and placed her on her stone table in the pavilion. His finger flicked the red plum on her chest, his tone ambiguous as he said, “Didn’t my beloved consort invite me to admire the plums? Why are you unwilling now?” When Jinbao, who was outside the pavilion, saw this, he quickly got the servants to pull down the six sides of the cotton curtains around the pavilion down, take ten steps away from the pavilion and stay where they were. 

Even though they were isolated by the curtains, there were still so many people outside. Jiang Si asked, her eyes full of pleading, “Your Majesty, shall we return to your palace?” “No! I want to admire the plums here tonight.” Fengzhen rejected Jiang Si, then pressed her body down onto the stone table and leaned down to take that blossoming red cherry into his mouth, flicking it, then lightly sucking and biting it. 

The moment Fengzhen’s tongue touched her skin, Jiang Si felt an unexplainable sense of numbness on her chest. It wasn’t the first time that Fengzhen licked her br*asts, and she clearly wasn’t that sensitive previously! Could it be… an effect of the Yuanyang pill? 

Jiang Si closed her eyes, as moans erupted from her throat uncontrollably, “Mmmm… Mmmmm… Your Majesty…” It felt so comfortable. She felt a tingling sensation as her n*pple was sucked by Fengzhen, as though there were countless feathers grazing against her. The honey cave at her lower body was also rapidly getting wet. After Fengzhen lightly bit down on her n*pple, the honey cave finally couldn’t dam the load of spring water, and it started spilling out. 

Fengzhen had his fun with Jiang Si’s n*pple, but he didn’t remove the muslin dress on her, because he felt that it was a different experience viewing the faint outline of her figure that way. He placed her legs at the corner of the stone table, while her body lay on the stone table. This way, the lewd sight between Jiang Si’s legs was completely exposed before Fengzhen’s eyes. 

His fingers stuck out at her soft folds, sliding up from down to up, “Tsk, I just took your nipple in my mouth and you’re already leaking so much lewd water. If that’s the case, when I enter your cave later, won’t you drown me to death?”
