Chapter 232 Consort Liang's Shameful Affairs
Zhenlan Garden
Lady Cui was feeding Ling Lanhua congee when she heard the Emperor's arrival. She quickly got up, knelt down, and respectfully welcomed him.
The Emperor strode in, went straight to the bedside, and seeing Ling Lanhua's pale face, approached her with concern and asked...
"My beloved concubine, where do you feel unwell? I have summoned the imperial physician."
Ling Lanhua shook her head slightly, forcing a smile.
"Your Majesty, I feel restless and weak when I don't see you for a day. Now that you're here, I feel full of energy again."
As she spoke, she struggled to sit up, and the Emperor quickly stepped forward to help her up.
She glanced at Cui, who was kneeling on the ground, then turned to the Emperor and introduced him softly:
"Your Majesty, she is my mother. If she hadn't come today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have heard you coming."
The Emperor glanced at Cui, who was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, and waved his hand, saying:
"Since you are the mother of my beloved concubine, there is no need for you to kneel. Please get up!"
Lady Cui was overjoyed and quickly bowed her head in greeting:
"This humble woman thanks Your Majesty for your grace."
After she stood up from the ground, the emperor pressed her for an answer:
"How are you settling in since arriving at the palace?"
"I'm getting used to it, I'm getting used to it. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"Okay, you'll get used to it. You can step down now!"
Cui had the same idea, so she quickly bowed and hurriedly withdrew.
When only the Emperor and Ling Lanhua remained, Ling Lanhua gently nestled into the Emperor's arms, unbuttoning his clothes as she said in a coquettish tone:
"Your Majesty, please stay with me tonight!"
The Emperor grasped her hand and nodded.
"Alright, I'll accompany you, but you're not feeling well, so you shouldn't move around too much."
"Your Majesty, I am unwell, but I have a way to make you comfortable..."
As she spoke, her hands continued unbuttoning her clothes. The emperor was skeptical, but he allowed her to use both her hands and mouth to bustle about on him...
Fangcaozhai.
The Emperor stood him up, but Zhu Kui arrived in a hurry, and Xiao Hui took him directly to Consort Liang's bedroom.
He approached Consort Liang, respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, and said:
"Your Majesty summoned me in such a hurry, is there something urgent?"
Consort Liang waved her hand at Xiao Hui and said:
"I have matters to discuss with Lord Zhu. You may all leave!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hui waved to the servants and led them out, then closed the door to the inner hall.
Although Zhu Kui was puzzled by Consort Liang's sudden actions, he did not dare to ask any further questions.
When only the two of them were left, Consort Liang gently lifted her handkerchief, wiped her lips, and said softly:
"Lord Zhu, do you think I look beautiful tonight?"
When Zhu Kui first heard this, he didn't dare to look up and replied in surprise:
"Your Majesty, I dare not offend you, nor dare I look at you too much, but I know that Your Majesty has always been the most outstanding among the women in the harem."
Consort Liang laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Ha! What you say sounds nice, but the Emperor's heart is not with me. What do you suggest we do?"
Zhu Kui's eyes darted around a few times before he began to have some doubts:
Consort Liang summoned him in the middle of the night and said these strange things, which made him suspicious.
Since Wei Jian'an's death, more and more people have come to dislike him, and more and more people have been eyeing his official position.
Could it be that Consort Liang's unusual behavior today was at Wei Jianning's behest, to set a trap for him and ruin his reputation?
No, he needs to be more careful.
Thinking of this, he replied respectfully once again:
"Your Majesty is joking. Everyone knows that His Majesty has given you his favorite residence, Fangcao Zhai, which is a sign of his favor towards you."
At this moment, Consort Liang rose, walked slowly to his side, raised her hand to pinch his chin, lifted his face, and looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"Outsiders only see my glamorous side, but who can see my suffering? Since Consort Lan came, the Emperor hasn't visited Fangcaozhai for four months. I am a woman too, and I also need a man's care. But the only man in the harem doesn't come. What am I supposed to do? Tell me, what should I do?"
As she spoke, her eyes began to redden, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. Her voice was so soft it seemed to melt away tears.
Her hand rested on Zhu Kui's chin, the warmth of which made him momentarily flustered, so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe.
"Lord Zhu, I dressed up specially today to wait for the Emperor, but he didn't show up. Didn't all my dressing up go to waste?"
"No...no, Your Majesty...Your Majesty is...very beautiful."
Zhu Kui, who was always arrogant and fearless, was so nervous that he became incoherent.
Consort Liang was quite satisfied with his reaction, and then raised the corners of her mouth, asking teasingly:
"Then look up at me."
Zhu Kui hurriedly shook his head.
"I... I dare not."
"What if I insist that you see it?"
As she said this, she gently lifted her hand that was resting on his chin, and Zhu Kui's eyes, following the movement of her lifting his hand, slowly turned to look at her face.
Although she was in her early forties, she still looked beautiful, with fair skin and tearful eyes, making her appear pitiful.
Being in such close proximity to a woman would be unbearable for any man, especially since the woman in front of him is the emperor's favorite concubine.
Zhu Kui's Adam's apple bobbed violently a few times, then he swallowed hard a few more times.
"My queen... this..."
"Lord Zhu, do you also think I'm not beautiful enough, not attractive enough?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Kui's last shred of reason vanished instantly. He immediately reached out and pulled Liang Fei into his arms, then bent down, scooped her up in his arms, and eagerly headed towards the bed...
……
The next morning, at the Grand Commandant's residence
Zhu Kui sat in the main hall, his face glowing, sipping tea and reminiscing about the wonderful things that had happened the night before.
He slept with the emperor's woman, who was also the crown prince's mother, in the emperor's favorite Fangcao Zhai. This was something that others wouldn't even dare to dream of, but Zhu Kui did it. Not only that, he made love to Consort Liang three times in one night, and only left Fangcao Zhai reluctantly when the sky was clearing.
Thinking of that scene, a smug smile crept onto his lips as he sipped his tea, imagining the next time he would see Consort Liang.
"Dad, why did you wake me up so early in the morning?"
A woman wearing a light blue top embroidered with silver butterflies and flowers appeared gracefully in the doorway, swaying in the wind.
She has a pair of bright, clear eyes, sparkling like stars, with eyes curved like crescent moons. Every smile and frown reveals a mischievous charm.
She lifted her skirt with both hands, muttering to herself as she walked into the hall.
"This long dress is such a hassle, I'll definitely have to find someone to alter it properly later."
Upon seeing her, Zhu Kui snapped out of his reverie and greeted her with a beaming smile.
"Yes, wearing a dress is how a girl should look, my Fei'er, you look so pretty."
"Dad, you still haven't told me why you called me here so early in the morning?"
Zhu Kui hesitated for a moment, then said with a mysterious look in his eyes:
"Fei'er, your father called you here because he has good news, but you must promise not to get angry and let me finish speaking."
