I should marry the traitor

Chapter 48 Listen to the corner

On a summer evening, the back garden of the Luoyang Imperial Palace was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.

The clouds on the horizon were dyed orange by the sunset, as if they were burned by fire, beautiful and mysterious. After a day of intense blooming, the flowers in the garden began to gradually converge, and the dew on the petals flickered with a faint light.

The dew on the petals reflected the girl's serious expression. Xia Naxue was also completing her homework seriously today.

On both sides of the path, the drooping branches of the willow trees swayed gently in the wind, making a rustling sound, as if telling of Xia Naxue's tiredness after a day of studying.

Under the reflection of the sunset, Xia Naxue, who finally completed her painting homework, fell into deep thought again.

Am I not a concubine in the harem?

Why am I still a virgin?

Why do I have to do homework every day?

Why don't I have to sleep with you?

Your Majesty wants her to be proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Does that mean he wants her to compete for the most beautiful woman among the people?
Her big eyes flashed with great doubt. Xia Naxue sighed softly and then put away her painting supplies.

"Why is my dear sister sighing?"

A tall woman with delicate features and elegant temperament came quietly. She had long hair draped over her shoulders, swaying gently as she walked, exuding a charming aura.

Most of the women in the harem would carefully decorate their crowns, even Dong Bai, who nominally had the highest status, was no exception.

But there was one person who was very casual about it and had no awareness at all that she was the emperor's concubine. That person was Xia Naxue's sister - Xia Naiyang.

"Sister, you are like this again, your clothes are untidy and your hair is untidy, how can you be so decent."

"You have your hair and crown neatly tied, but what's the use? Will His Majesty even look at you?"

"Your Majesty has assigned me daily homework again!"

"Oh."

Xia Naxue's counterattack was pale and powerless. After all, this was actually quite embarrassing.

Sometimes Xia Naixue felt that the emperor did not treat her as a woman, but as a child. Which concubine does not have to sleep with the emperor and do homework all day?
That "oh" may seem understated, but it actually makes people feel very upset.

If only I had the power, Xia Naixue thought. If she had the power, she could knock the emperor to the ground with one punch, and then turn the emperor into a star. Work hard!
"This is just a test from His Majesty. The Emperor must have a reason for doing this."

After thinking for a moment, Xia Naxue could only make such a weak rebuttal.

In the pond in the distance, some of the lotus flowers have withered, leaving only water droplets between the lotus leaves, like two lines of tears that Xia Naxue never showed on her face.

"Oh, then why don't you go ask His Majesty? Maybe His Majesty will let you sleep with him?"

"Hmph, I'll go if I want. Your Majesty must value me very much."

Xia Naxue couldn't stand the provocation, so she put away her painting supplies and walked towards Qiantianyuan.

The palace is very big, but after all, Xia Naixue has moved here for a long time and has been able to find the direction.

Xia Naixue could clearly notice that the closer she got to Qiantian Garden, the fewer palace servants there were. It seemed that His Majesty did not like being served, and there were not many palace maids around him.

"Why are you following me?"

"See how brave you are."

Facing Xia Naiyang who followed with a somewhat lewd smile on her face, Xia Naxue was full of helplessness. Why could such an indecent person be her sister?

"Wait, why don't you go back? It may not be convenient now."

When they reached the outside of Qiantian Garden, Xia Naiyang suddenly changed her tone. She changed from her previous vulgar behavior and seriously persuaded Xia Naixue to go back, as if it was not her who had just stimulated Xia Naixue to come to Qiantian Garden.

"Now that I'm here, what's the inconvenience?" Xia Naxue didn't care about Xia Naiyang's inexplicable obstruction, and rushed into Qiantian Garden.

Except for a small number of palace servants who are granted permission, most of the palace servants cannot enter and leave Qiantian Garden. Of course, Xia Naxue is a concubine in name, so she naturally has the permission to enter and leave Qiantian Garden.

However, after walking a few steps, Xia Naixue's footsteps froze in place. In the house in the distance, she seemed to be faintly hearing a woman crying:

“Wuwuwuwu…wuwuwuwu…wuwuwuwu…”

Xia Naixue frowned. She was still a virgin and for a moment she couldn't react to what the sound was.

Why is there a woman crying here? And it sounds familiar, like... Sister Zhong Pingjing?

But why was Sister Zhong Pingjing crying in Qiantian Garden? And there seemed to be some kind of faint beating sound coming from it.

Could it be? Could it be that...

Sister Zhong Pingjing was being beaten? Sister Zhong Pingjing was a concubine, and there were few people in the harem who could beat her.

Your Majesty is such a good person, why would he hit her?

It must have been Dong Bai who did it!

Everyone knows that this queen is a barbarian from Xiliang. She relied on her tall stature, large horse, and powerful army to force her into marriage with Your Majesty. Maybe she just can't stand Sister Zhong Pingjing being favored and wants to bully her.

"Don't look at me, idiot. What are you thinking? Don't you have to be so jealous? Do you really want to sleep with me?"

Xia Naiyang, who followed Xia Naxue in, looked at his sister's gnashing teeth expression and asked in some confusion, "I never realized that my sister was so addicted before. How could she be so jealous?"
"Ah? To serve you in bed?"

Just when Shanaxue had a look of question mark on his face, a clearer voice came from Qiantian Garden.

"Hey!"

Like resentment, like longing, like crying, like complaining, the lingering sound is endless. The dragon dancing in the deep valley, the widow weeping in the lonely boat.

Xia Naxue, who finally reacted, couldn't hide her embarrassment. She tried hard to remain calm, but the blush still flew uncontrollably to her cheeks.

"It's not dark yet, Your Majesty, why..."

After thinking about those dirty words, Xia Naixue still didn't say them out loud. She might indeed have some feelings of love, but after all, she was still young, not as ferocious as Zhong Pingjing, nor as shameless as Xia Naiyang.

Xia Naiyang rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Please, my dear sister, isn't it the right time to do things now? And it's in Qiantian Garden, and your majesty is also a man, what's so strange about that?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Naxue stood there, not knowing whether to leave or go in, not knowing what to do.

Then she saw Xia Naiyang tiptoeing towards the wall.

"Hey, sister, what are you doing?" Xia Naixue looked at Xia Naiyang, who had already approached the corner with her ears pricked up, looking like a curious baby. Why aren't you so studious on weekdays?
"Aren't you curious?"

Xia Naiyang convinced her stubborn sister with just one sentence, and Xia Naxue moved closer to the wall shyly.

After getting closer, I could indeed listen more carefully. In addition to Zhong Pingjing's crying, I could also vaguely hear Li Changge's words.

"Stand up..."

"Sit on your lap..."

"waist……"

Xia Naxue blushed and her face turned blood red after hearing the vague words, and the scene couldn't help but emerge in her mind.

A little... envious.
