TPE Chapters 23-24

Chapter 23

Fengzhen swore that he didn’t have any dirty thoughts at the moment, and was seriously helping her clean the dirt off her legs. However, after changing three towels, he still couldn’t wipe off all the water from the area. He looked at the towel in his hand and saw the glistening residue on it. He thought about it for a moment, and came to a sudden realisation, then chuckled. 

“It seems like Si’er is really made from water… I wasn’t having any dirty thoughts when I helped you clean up… But you… Became wet again…” 

Jiang Si could definitely feel that strangeness in her lower body. Her face was crimson red, and she hastily buried herself into the blanket, as she fumed inside, Yuanyang pill! You’re really causing me so much grief! I’m dying of embarrassment! 

Fengzhen smiled, then pulled the woman with the blanket into his embrace. He comforted her softly, “Si’er, you don’t have to feel so shy. I’ll tell you a secret. Whenever I see you, I’ll feel extremely excited, and I can’t wait to bury my dragon root into your p*ssy. Hence, we’re two of a kind. In the future, whenever you want it, I’ll satisfy you, alright?” 

Who wanted to listen to this speech of his?! Good heavens! She was already embarrassed enough as it is! Quick, let Fengzhen go away!!! 

…

They stayed in Mount Li for another few days. Fengzhen had even personally hunted a tiny ferret for Jiang Si. Its black eyes were bright and sparkling, and it was a tiny bundle when it curled up in her hand. Even though Jiang Si adored it, she thought about how she might have to transmigrate back, and wondered how the little ferret would be able to survive in the palace. It was, after all, a small life, so Jiang Si begged Fengzhen to release it.

Even though Fengzhen respected the Empress Dowager, he wasn’t foolishly filial. Moreover, he didn’t share deep affection with the Empress Dowager. After he took the throne, he also helped the Empress Dowager’s maternal family and gave them official titles. He even agreed to her request and took Consort Yu in. However, if the Empress Dowager wanted to intervene in political matters or his will, he would never accede to it. 

“I know what to do. Royal Mother, you don’t have to worry too much. It’s getting late now, I still have a lot of petitions to read. Royal Mother, please rest early.” After Fengzhen said this, he left without waiting for the Empress Dowager to reply. 

After Fengzhen left, the Empress Dowager was so furious that her chest hurt. As expected of someone whom she did not bring up personally, he really did not listen to her! His maternal grandfather was simply given a second-rate title, while his cousins were given low-level jobs. That was not all. She wanted to make Yu’er the Empress, but Fengzhen insisted on making her a consort, not respecting her position as Empress Dowager at all. This was so infuriating! 

Chapter 24

In the Imperial Study, Fengzhen was studying the petitions, while Jiang Si stood by a side, helping him with his ink and brushes. She really did not understand why she was doing this. Grinding ink and brewing tea were clearly Jinbao’s job, so why was it handed over to her?!

“Are you tired?” Fengzhen’s hand continued to move. As he spoke, he used his brush to write and place his seal of approval on the petitions. 

“I’m not tired!” Jiang Si immediately straightened herself and meticulously grinded the ink for him. 

Initially, he wanted Jiang Si to accompany him more, but he forgot about the fact that she might feel bored in the Imperial Study. Fengzhen wrote a few more words on one petition, then looked up and placated Jiang Si, “Si’er, just give me a while more. After this, we can go and rest.” 

Apart from the day that they returned to the palace, Fengzhen would have s*x with Jiang Si every single night. Even with the help of the Yuanyang pill, she was not able to deal with the frequency of it. She thought about it, then asked, “Your Majesty… Are we still going to sleep together tonight?” 

“Where else would I be?” Fengzhen hooked his finger and signalled to Jiang Si, “Come over here and sit on my lap.” 

Jiang Si walked over meekly, then sat down into Fengzhen’s embrace. Fengzhen placed his chin on the top of her head, and his arms encircled her body. The Imperial Study was brightly lit by candles, and under the warm lighting, Fengzhen’s voice felt even warmer. He asked Jiang Si, “The Imperial Guards have been rewarded for their merits on the assassination attempt on Mount Li. However, in my view, your contribution is the largest. Is there anything that you want?” 

Jiang Si’s heart was pounding rapidly, and she gripped her fist tight under her sleeve. Her voice was even trembling slightly as she asked, “Your Majesty… Can this concubine really have anything I want?” 

“Of course, so long as I can do it. You can choose whatever it is you want.” Fengzhen took a strand of Jiang Si’s hair and twirled it around, playing with it. 

Jiang Si mustered up her courage, then blurted out the following words, “This concubine wants to go and visit Qingque Tai!” 

Fengzhen’s movements froze. He turned Jiang Si’s face towards him as he asked, “Do you know the significance behind Qingque Tai?” 

“This concubine knows, and I also understand that my status is low, so I don’t dare to dream of it. However, there’s just a thought in my mind, which is to take a look at the legendary picturesque view. I… I hope that Your Majesty will grant me my wish.” Jiang Si lowered her eyes. She did not dare to look at Fengzhen at all. 

There was silence in the Imperial Study for a while, and only the sound of flickering flames could be heard. Jiang Si could feel her heart turning cold. It seemed like asking Fengzhen to go to Qingque Tai was not the right way to go. 

“Alright, I’ll agree to your request.” 

“What? Your Majesty, you agreed to it?!” Jiang Si’s eyes widened in disbelief. Good fortune seemed to have come too easily! 

Looking at how Jiang Si’s face was filled with surprise, Fengzhen also felt pleased. In order to make her smile, it would not matter if he had to suffer a little. 

“However, Qingque Tai is not an easy place to go. Only the Empress can go there to pray for blessings. Be patient, and wait for me for a while. After I have made the arrangements, I’ll let you go there under a rightful position.” Of course, Jiang Si did not know the deep meaning behind Fengzhen’s words. He wanted to make her his Empress. It was only when the imperial court and harem were in a frenzy over this matter that she finally understood what Fengzhen had done for her. 

“Your Majesty, you’re too nice to me!” Jiang Si was so happy that she flew over to him. The wish that seemed so far away was about to be fulfilled! She could not believe how lucky she was! 

“Are you just using these words to express your gratitude? Aren’t you going to give me something more practical?” Fengzhen’s palm covered one of Jiang Si’s br*asts, as he rubbed and kneaded it with different levels of pressure. 

Jiang Si’s face instantly flushed red. However, she was reminded of Fengzhen’s promise, so she closed her eyes and delivered her lips to the side of Fengzhen’s mouth, “Your Majesty… Tonight… This concubine will allow you to do what you want…”
