After the rebellion was successful, I realized that this place was the Red Mansion

Chapter 194 Feng Jie, with all her scheming, receives an imperial decree.
outside the house.

Xiangyun pulled Qinghe along, but then noticed her turning her head to look at the corner of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Xiangyun asked her with a smile, "What are you looking at? The Emperor is here, but you're not going in."

Qinghe withdrew his gaze and said thoughtfully, "I think I saw someone just now."

Xiangyun hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Qinghe looked at the eunuchs and palace maids on duty, and seeing that they were all silent, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's go, we agreed to read together tonight."

The two women were close when they were in the palace, and now that they live together in the side hall, they are even closer.

Xiangyun shook off her hand and said, "This kind of perfunctory attitude is the most detestable."

Qinghe quickly grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Are you determined to get to the bottom of this?"

Xiangyun laughed and said, "You brought this up, and now you're blaming me."

Qinghe could only say, "She looks like a young wife; I can't recognize her."

"Could it be an assassin?" Xiangyun looked over quickly, somewhat nervous.

"Don't worry, no, there are people watching over it."

Qinghe pulled her away.

After a while, someone came out from around the corner, looking anxious and a little embarrassed. He kept glancing into the house, hoping someone would come out.

inside the house.

After Ping'er got into bed, Chu Yan held her in his arms, but didn't rush to pamper her. Instead, they chatted for a while.

Ping'er was preoccupied with something and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Last time, His Majesty had asked her to convey a decree to the Second Mistress to embroider a bib with words on it. Why hadn't he mentioned it again when they met this time?
Could it be that His Majesty is too busy and has forgotten?

On second thought, given Grandma's figure and appearance, even if the emperor forgets her for a while, he will remember her when he sees her again in the future. It would be better to mention it now so that Grandma can put her mind at ease as soon as possible.

He smiled and said, "Your Majesty~"

Her voice was soft and melodious, making listeners feel a tingling sensation in their hearts.

"Isn't Ping'er getting impatient?"

Chu Yan smiled and stroked her smooth face.

When two people who have had a relationship are together again, they no longer hold back on many things. For example, Ping'er was much more natural tonight than last time, and nestled in his arms after getting into bed.

Ping'er blushed and quickly said, "I wanted to tell His Majesty something that concerns Second Mistress."

"Oh, what is it?" Chu Yan asked calmly.

Ping'er looked at him, blushing and smiling, and said, "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and may not remember. Last time, His Majesty asked me to convey an edict, ordering Second Mistress to embroider a bellyband."

Chu Yan pretended to think for a while before nodding and saying, "I remember now, there was such a thing. I even asked her to embroider words on her bellyband, but I forgot what the words were."

Ping'er said, "It is Feng Nu who is guilty."

"So that's what it was!"

Chu Yan laughed heartily, and Ping'er then realized that she had been tricked by the Emperor. She smiled and scolded him, "Your Majesty is clearly thinking about Second Madam, but you're pretending not to remember."

Chu Yan didn't hide anything and said, "She was hanging around me during the day. I saw that she was pretty and had a good figure, so I was thinking of summoning her to see what she looked like wearing that bellyband. I didn't expect it to be you, Ping'er, who came to tell me."

He stroked her cheek a few times and asked, "Did Sister Feng tell you? Or is she impatient?"

Hearing this, Ping'er quickly said, "Grandma isn't that kind of person. Despite her figure and appearance, Grandma never gets involved with men. The boys and some men in the family secretly peek at Grandma's figure, but Grandma never pays attention to them. Only two years ago, a man who had been blinded by greed came to our house to ask questions. Grandma played tricks on him twice, and he later fell ill and died. That was his own fault."

Chu Yan smiled and asked, "Is his name Jia Rui?"

Ping'er asked in surprise, "Your Majesty knew about this too?"

Chu Yan leaned against the pillow, lost in thought, and said, "So, Sister Feng really is famous for her beauty."

Ping'er became anxious and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's words are truly slanderous against her!" She then looked at him and said, "In all these years, my grandmother and I have never seen her have any dealings with other men. It's just that others spread these rumors, and my grandmother didn't pay attention to them, which allowed them to spread them even further!"

It was precisely because Wang Xifeng was beautiful and slender that Jia Rui had the idea of ​​coveting her. She often ordered the servants around, had many interactions with her uncles and nephews, and chatted and laughed with men.

Chu Yan asked with a smile, "Is her bellyband finished embroidering yet?"

Ping'er blushed. Since they were finally getting down to business, she lowered her head and smiled, saying, "How could I dare disobey His Majesty's decree? I finished embroidering it before His Majesty visited the garden."

"Did she put it on?" Chu Yan asked casually.

Holding her in his arms, he asked Sister Feng about wearing a bellyband. Originally, it was just to add to the fun, but he couldn't help but think of Sister Feng's slender figure wearing a red bellyband with words on it, her beautiful and charming face full of shyness.

Ping'er's face turned even redder, and she said reproachfully, "Grandma has complained about His Majesty countless times, saying that His Majesty only thinks of ways to torture people... But complaining is complaining, Grandma dares not disobey the decree."

Chu Yan smiled.

Ping'er chuckled to herself and whispered, "I have something to tell Your Majesty, but Your Majesty must not tell anyone else."

"what?"

“On the day His Majesty entered the garden, Grandma was also wearing that bellyband.” Ping’er smiled, her face blushing.

"Oh?"

Chu Yan became even more interested and asked for details, then asked, "When you helped her get dressed, did you see what she looked like after she put on the bellyband?"

Ping'er was too embarrassed to continue. The previous words were because she was going to serve the emperor and plead for Feng Jie. Now that she was talking about Feng Jie's figure, skin, waist and hips, she couldn't go on!

He declined, saying, "Since His Majesty intends to summon you, why not wait until the time is right to see for yourself?"

Chu Yan gradually realized what was happening and reached out to tease her pretty face: "Ping'er, is there something you're hiding from me?"

Ping'er grasped his hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise."

She paused for a moment before saying, "Grandma embroidered the bellyband as ordered, guessing that His Majesty intended to summon her. Grandma is naturally willing to come and serve him."

Chu Yan waited for her to continue.

Ping'er said, "But Grandma is married after all. Her husband is still alive, and she has a mother-in-law and a daughter. The whole family is watching Grandma. The maids and servants are waiting for Grandma to arrange things, and the ladies are counting on Grandma to manage the household. The girls' hair oil and powder, and the chicken, duck, fish and meat in the kitchen all have to be ordered by Grandma to be purchased."

Chu Yan laughed and said, "It seems she came to you to plead on her behalf."

Ping'er quickly said, "Grandma is willing to serve Your Majesty."

Chu Yan said, "This is strange. What does she want? Could it be that she wants the power to manage the household and wants me to appoint her as the Minister of the Grand View Palace?"

"Grandma wouldn't dare compete with the girls."

Ping'er smiled and said, "Grandma is thinking that such a big family is involved in many things, and since Grandma and Master Lian are husband and wife and have a daughter, she dares to ask His Majesty to grant her permission to... quietly come and serve first."

"Come quietly?"

Chu Yan raised an eyebrow and quickly understood Wang Xifeng's plan.

She knew she couldn't escape it, dared not disobey the imperial decree, and worried that she wouldn't be able to be made a concubine, thus delaying her status as the second mistress of the Jia family. In addition, with Jia Lian still alive, it would be a loss of face for her to come and serve the emperor.

She is neither Li Wan, whose husband died, nor Qin Keqing, whose father-in-law was executed and who had no children.

Sister Feng is most accustomed to seeking personal gain; she won't serve you in bed if there's no benefit to it.

After figuring it out, Chu Yan smiled and decided to show her what it meant to be utterly destroyed:

He wanted her to serve him in bed, but in the future he would suppress her from being made a concubine, making her regret her schemes.

Seeing that the emperor remained silent, Ping'er quickly added, "It's not that you're still thinking about Master Lian. After serving Your Majesty, you dared not have any further contact with your ex-husband. When Master Lian returned the other day, the two of you only spoke through the door."

Chu Yan smiled and asked, "And you?"

Ping'er lowered her head: "I was just a maidservant, not a husband and wife. Even if we had some past feelings, His Majesty subdued me that night..."

Her face flushed, and her heart pounded.

It wasn't that she was pretending to be a vixen to seduce the emperor, but rather that since that night, every time she thought about it, a fire would rise in her stomach. She could only secretly remind herself that the emperor had only favored her on a whim, and there were so many talented and beautiful girls in the garden; who knew when the emperor would remember her again.

Unexpectedly, on the third night Chu Yan arrived at the garden, he summoned her to his bedchamber, which showed that he had feelings for her.

Chu Yan straightened her soft, delicate body and looked at her from the front, which made Ping'er even more shy. Then he smiled and said, "I never knew that Ping'er could also have the charm of Ke Qing."

Ping'er recalled the natural charm of Qin Keqing that she had seen these past few days, and said shyly and ashamedly, "I dare not compare myself to Consort Qin."

Chu Yan smiled, leaned back against the pillow, and softly instructed her, "Help me undress." Ping'er quickly said, "Your Majesty, my grandmother came along tonight to show her sincerity, and she's waiting outside right now."

"Oh?"

Chu Yan was somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, he realized it was indeed Sister Feng's method.

He laughed and said, "Who cares? Even if the Heavenly King himself comes tonight, I will still favor my beloved concubine!"

Being addressed as "beloved concubine" by the emperor, Ping'er blushed with embarrassment and was deeply moved. She nestled into his arms and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

"what?"

"On the day His Majesty entered the garden, when Grandma went back to bed to rest, I was sleeping in the outer room. Late at night, I heard Grandma restless in the room, twisting and turning, humming something, and doing something else."

"Is there such a thing?"

Chu Yan looked at her in surprise, and Ping'er buried her face in his arms with a shy smile, "Your Majesty must not tell anyone, otherwise I will not be able to live a normal life."

Spreading the secrets of one's master's boudoir to outsiders is punishable by death, but Ping'er, now the emperor's woman and knowing about the undergarment, dared to speak out.

Hearing about Feng Jie's secret from Ping'er, Chu Yan's interest was greatly aroused. He hugged her tightly and showered her with affection before saying, "I want to send an edict to Feng Jie, telling her to do what she did the night before entering the garden after she goes back tonight!"

"……what?!"

Ping'er was stunned and regretted saying it.

After Chu Yan came up with this method to punish Wang Xifeng, he became even more excited and laughed, "She's too audacious. She dares to ask for this and that in front of me before even serving me in bed. I'll issue an order for her to scratch her itch tonight as punishment!"

Seeing that His Majesty had made up his mind, Ping'er knew there was nothing she could do but say, "I'm afraid Grandma will guess that it was me who said it..."

"You can deny it to the death. Go quickly and convey my imperial decree that she should come tonight wearing that undergarment to scratch her itch."

Chu Yan said with a smile.

Ping'er had no choice but to stay at the hotel.

Chu Yan then instructed her: "Tell her that since she wants to come quietly and it's inconvenient with so many people around, tell her to wait behind the Qingtang thatched hut at 5 PM tomorrow. I will talk to her in detail then."

Ping'er was surprised. What was going on?
Is Your Majesty really planning to have an affair with Grandma in private?
If the emperor wanted to have sex with Sister Feng, he could have just told her to come quietly at night. Why did he have to sneak off to the back of the thatched hut to have an affair? What kind of talk is that?

Seeing that he was in high spirits, Ping'er couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had no choice but to go out.

Why are you leaving?

When Qingwen saw her come out and walk away, she wondered if His Majesty disliked her for not serving him well.
"Sister Ping'er." Lin Hongyu hurriedly followed, and couldn't help but guess what was going on.

But Ping'er said, "You stay here, I'm going out to say something to someone."

After giving Qingwen and Xiangling a look, Ping'er went outside.

When Sister Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, saw her, she quickly waved her over.

The master and servant avoided the eunuchs and palace maids and spoke quietly in the passageway between the main hall and the Yangxin Hall.

Ping'er told the whole story.

"!!!"

Upon hearing her words, Feng Jie's charming yet fierce phoenix eyes were filled with shock, and she wondered if Ping'er was just playing a trick on her!

Ping'er dared not linger and hurriedly turned to leave: "I still have to serve His Majesty when I get back, Grandmother, please take care."

"You little hussy, come back here!"

Sister Feng grabbed her hand, pulled her close, and asked, "Tell me honestly, is what you're saying true?!"

Ping'er hurriedly replied, "How dare I falsely convey imperial orders?"

Fengjie frowned as she looked at her, but unfortunately, they were too far from Yangxin Hall and the candlelight was dim so she couldn't see the expression on her face. She asked again, "How did he know that I... I did that kind of thing in private?"

“Grandma should address Your Majesty.” Ping’er said softly first, then said what she had in mind: “Since Your Majesty asked Grandma to embroider that bellyband, it is clear that you are accustomed to romance. Grandma has not shared a room with Second Master for two months, and you have accumulated a burning passion in your body. This is quite common.”

Ping'er served in her room, so she naturally knew what Fengjie did at night.

"...Bastard!"

Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and uttered a curse.

Ping'er looked at her: "Who is Grandma scolding?"

Wang Xifeng's face flushed red again, and after a long while she said, "I'm scolding myself!"

Ping'er smiled, turned and left, leaving her with the words, "Grandma, please wait here. I'll have Xiao Hong bring a lantern."

Wang Xifeng watched her leave, then stamped her foot and said, "That little hussy is getting more and more smug!"

Before Ping'er entered the room, she glanced at her again from afar, indicating that she had heard what she said.

Seeing this, the eunuchs and palace maids on duty became even more certain that His Majesty knew about this matter, so they did not ask what the Second Mistress of the Jia family was doing there.

After a while, Hongyu came out carrying a lantern and went home with Fengjie.

Hongyu didn't ask a single question along the way. After returning home, she helped her grandmother undress and go to bed before asking, "Since Sister Ping isn't here, does Grandma need me to help her get up at night?"

Fengjie had originally decided to defy the imperial decree, so she didn't care that Xiaohong slept outside. But then she changed her mind and told her to go back to her room to sleep.

Despite being full of doubts, Hongyu didn't ask any questions and went back to her room to sleep.

Sister Feng also lay down on the bed.

He stared intently at the gauze curtains, his eyes wide open.

She was determined not to do that kind of thing; she couldn't let that damned emperor have his way!
If he asks about it tomorrow, she'll just give a vague answer. Does he think he can predict the future and know that she didn't do anything on orders tonight?
But for some reason, after what happened tonight, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time, her mind constantly preoccupied with things.

She was wondering why the dog emperor had summoned her to the thatched hut the next day, and why it was in the evening, not at night; she was also thinking that if the two of them met in private tomorrow, she didn't know how he would humiliate her!

But whenever she thought of the humiliation, Fengjie couldn't help but let her mind wander to other things. Princess Qinghe had decided to take over the Qingtang thatched cottage, but no one lived there at the moment. If the emperor suddenly felt like it, he could easily drag her into the cottage, and she wouldn't be able to call anyone there!

What do they do after entering the hut?
The emperor's tall and robust physique was probably...

Pooh!
Spitting at herself, Fengjie closed her eyes, wanting to go to sleep, but then she remembered that at this very moment, that little hussy Ping'er was probably enjoying herself on the emperor's bed. Ever since the eunuch came to deliver the imperial decree, she had obediently bathed and changed her clothes, willingly going to serve the emperor in bed.

It's clear she was very satisfied with the emperor's favor last time.

I don't know about the emperor...

Pooh!
Sister Feng spat at herself again, then closed her eyes, wanting to go to sleep.

But she became inexplicably irritable, feeling restless all over, with waves of heat and tingling in her lower abdomen, making it impossible for her to stay at ease.

After tossing and turning for a long time, she suddenly had another thought:

Since the dog emperor doesn't know whether she followed the order or not, only she knows what she did. If she doesn't tell anyone, no one will know what she did tonight.

The moment a thought arises, a person immediately relaxes.

Sister Feng got up, tidied her disheveled hair, took the cool pillow and put it down, then put her fair and smooth legs on it and lay back down.

Obeying orders—no, defying orders.

At first, Fengjie thought of the loving relationship she had with Jia Lian in the past, but she still felt it wasn't enough. Then she suddenly remembered the Jia Lian she had seen these past few days. He was wearing coarse linen clothes, his face was tanned yellow, and he was bowing and smiling at her outside the second gate, calling her "Second Mistress".

I felt a wave of disgust.

Then she thought of the Emperor. He was more than a head taller than her. During the day, when she was in the Pear Fragrance Courtyard, Fengjie had gotten close to the Emperor and vaguely smelled his masculine scent. She had also seen him sitting in a chair giving orders.

Furthermore, the emperor has now summoned Ping'er to serve him in bed, and that little vixen Ping'er is doing so willingly, which shows that he is very good at satisfying women...

Tomorrow evening, she will meet him privately behind the hut, at which time...

at last.

Fengjie quickly fell into a deep sleep.

We can deal with the rest tomorrow.
