Chapter 870 Huanbi 14
She said softly: "Your Majesty, this is unreasonable..."
"If I say it's appropriate, then it's appropriate." Yinzhen interrupted her.
He leaned over, and his warm breath sprayed on Huanbi's ear, making her feel numb. "I want to see you more, is that not okay?"
His words were like feathers, gently brushing across Huanbi's heart, stirring up ripples. She raised her head and boldly met his gaze, with a hint of coquettishness and a hint of temptation in her eyes. "The emperor's words are golden, Huanbi naturally dare not disobey."
The corners of Yinzhen's mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc. He reached out and gently stroked Huanbi's cheek, his fingertips gently caressing her tender skin. His eyes were gentle as water, as if he wanted to drown Huanbi in them.
"You're so beautiful..." He murmured, his voice hoarse and sexy.
Huanbi's heart beat faster. She could feel the love in his eyes, hot and strong. She knew that this was her chance to turn things around, and she had to seize it firmly.
She reached out her hands, wrapped her arms around Yinzhen's neck, and gently pressed her cheek against his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat. She said softly, "Your Majesty, Huanbi likes you too..."
Yinzhen's body stiffened slightly. He didn't expect Huanbi to express her feelings so directly. He lowered his head and kissed her lips deeply.
This kiss was passionate and lingering, with a hint of dominance and possessiveness. Huanbi responded enthusiastically, knowing that this was her only chance to change her fate.
The atmosphere in the bedroom became more and more ambiguous, and the sound of clothes falling was particularly clear in the silent air. Xiao Xiazi was anxiously running around outside, but he didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him. He knew that the emperor's mood at the moment was more important than anything else.
Yinzhen gathered his dragon robe and walked out of the bedroom quickly. The morning light shone into the room through the carved window lattice, shining on the messy bed and Huanbi's face.
There was a hint of triumph in her smile, and her eyes were full of calculation.
Yinzhen trotted along the way, and Xiao Xiazi followed closely, breathlessly reminding him, "Your Majesty, please slow down and be careful of your body..."
How could Yinzhen listen to anything? His mind was filled with Huanbi's shy look and her reluctant yet willing attitude, which made him feel itchy.
He even began to regret why the morning court had to be held at this time!
"Get up--" the eunuch's shrill voice broke the tranquility of the early morning.
In the Jinluan Palace, civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time. Yinzhen sat on the dragon chair, but his mind had already flown back to the bedroom. He listened to the ministers' reports carelessly, and from time to time he was distracted, imagining what Huanbi was doing at the moment.
After the morning court session, Yinzhen could not wait to return to the bedroom. He pushed open the door, but there was no sign of Huanbi. The bedroom was empty, with only the faint scent of powder filling the air.
"Where is Huanbi?" Yinzhen asked the palace maid guarding the door.
"Your Majesty, Miss Huanbi said she was going back to Suiyuxuan to pack up her things." The palace maid lowered her head and answered respectfully.
Somehow Yinzhen walked to Suiyuxuan, which was not a short distance, almost spanning half of the harem.
He was extremely anxious and walked hurriedly, completely disregarding the imperial demeanor.
Xiao Xiazi followed behind, jogging all the way, almost out of breath, and secretly complained in his heart: The emperor's legs are too nimble, and I, with my old arms and legs, really can't keep up!
Yinzhen paused at the door of Suiyuxuan. He heard Cui Jinxi's voice, sharp and with a hint of heartache: "Huanbi, how could you do this? The queen treated you well, and you actually did such a betrayal!"
Yinzhen frowned slightly. Betraying his master?
He felt a little unhappy, but he suppressed his temper and did not go in immediately. Instead, he listened with bated breath.
Zhen Huan sipped her tea carefully, the aroma of tea curled up, but it couldn't cover up the smell of gunpowder in the air. She gently put down the teacup, making a crisp sound, and then raised her eyes to look at Huanbi, her eyes as calm as an ancient well.
"Huanbi." Zhen Huan's voice was soft, yet with a barely perceptible chill.
"Jinxi is right. It is indeed inappropriate for you to do this."
Huanbi's heart tightened. She didn't expect Zhen Huan to point out her "mistake" so directly. She pretended to be calm and forced a smile: "My lady, Huanbi doesn't understand what you mean."
"Don't understand?" Zhen Huan chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
Zhen Huan's eyes fell on Huanbi's collar, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Your clothes are really bright, I wonder what material they are made of? They are even more luxurious than the clothes worn by concubines like me in the palace."
Huanbi's face changed slightly. This dress was specially selected for her by the emperor before he went to court. It was bright in color and novel in style.
Now that Zhen Huan said this, it seemed that she had ulterior motives.
"It's just ordinary material, you are joking, young master."
Zhen Huan sighed softly and shook her head.
"You are still too young. There are some things that are beyond our control. Who is the emperor? There are three thousand beauties in the harem. What kind of beauties has he not seen? Do you think that you can catch the emperor's eye with your looks?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Zhen Huan's tone, as if to say that Huanbi's little trick was not worth mentioning in her eyes.
Huanbi bit her lip, feeling angry. She knew Zhen Huan was deliberately humiliating her, but she was powerless to refute. After all, she was just a maid, while Zhen Huan was a high-ranking concubine.
"I will remember what my sister has taught me." Huanbi lowered her head and spoke respectfully, but she could not hide the resentment in her eyes.
Cui Jinxi watched from the side, secretly worried about Zhen Huan. She knew that Zhen Huan was trying to warn Huanbi, but Huanbi's temper made her not listen.
Cui Jinxi responded at the right time: "Huanbi, you are too ignorant! The young lady treats you like a sister, how can you be so ignorant! You only want to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix, but you don't even consider your own weight!"
Huanbi felt even more aggrieved after being scolded by Cui Jinxi. Her eyes turned red and tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.
Zhen Huan still looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with her, and just watched Huanbi's performance quietly. She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said slowly: "Huanbi, why are you crying? I didn't say anything to you. Jingxi, you should also say less."
Yinzhen stood outside the door and heard the conversation of the people in the room clearly. He sneered in his heart, this Zhen Huan is so cunning! On the surface, she pretended to be generous, but in fact, she was trying to warn Huanbi to give up.
Yinzhen walked in silently and kicked Cui Jinxi to the ground.
Cui Jinxi was caught off guard, she screamed, and fell to the ground. The teacup rolled down, and the sound of it breaking was particularly harsh in the silent room.
