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

Chapter 245 Xiangyun rides a horse and favors the princess (Part 1)
The two walked down the pavilion hand in hand. Zijuan waited below and saw a hint of shyness in the girl's eyes as she came down. She guessed what it was and couldn't help but chuckle.

Daiyu glanced at her and said, "Zijuan, see the Emperor out."

Chu Yan said, "I wanted to have a cup of tea with you, but you're kicking me out."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Today is the day of moving. The princess and the ladies haven't seen you for many days. It's not appropriate for you to stay here with me any longer. You should go back quickly."

After hearing this, Chu Yan said, "Sister Lin has the qualities to be an empress."

Daiyu blushed, lowered her head, and walked out of the pavilion.

Chu Yan followed behind her with a smile and asked, "How about we go for a stroll in the garden tomorrow?"

"It's going to be very hot these days. Won't we break a sweat while strolling in the garden?" Daiyu turned around and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, Yun'er and Tan'er will definitely take me to visit various people's homes. When you come back, send a eunuch to find out where we are. Just come over and sit and chat with us."

Chu Yan nodded and smiled, "Is this what it looked like when you moved into the Grand View Garden?"

Daiyu was about to answer when she suddenly remembered something, smiled, and walked forward, saying again, "Zijuan, see the Emperor out."

As she spoke, she stood at the entrance of the main house, smiling as she watched him leave.

Chu Yan turned back twice before leaving Xiaoxiang Pavilion with Zijuan and returning to Zichen Hall.

"It should have been you, Miss, who saw His Majesty off just now," Zijuan said hastily, realizing her mistake.

Daiyu had just come to her senses when she thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "He doesn't mind these things."

Zijuan sighed, "The Emperor might not mind, but what if there's an Empress in the future..."

Seeing that the girl remained silent, Zijuan continued, "I wonder who the Emperor intends to make Empress."

Daiyu said, "Why bother with him? It doesn't matter who becomes empress."

Seeing that the young lady was avoiding the topic, Zijuan had no choice but to give up and went out to ask the palace maid to fetch water.

……

Chu Yan returned to Zichen Hall and saw Baochai coming out to greet him at the entrance.

She still looked like a plump, voluptuous young woman. When she saw him return, she smiled and greeted him, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, have you just returned from Lin Daiyu's place?"

"Yes, none of you have come. The princess has gone back to bathe. I'm going to visit Lin Daiyu."

Chu Yan explained, took Baochai's hand, and they went inside together.

Upon hearing that the princess had gone back to bathe, Baochai guessed what had happened and said with a smile, "After I settled in, I had nothing to do, so I thought I'd come and sit with Your Majesty for a while."

Chu Yan laughed and said, "I remember you lived by the lotus pond, which is close to here, but Yun'er went to live halfway up the mountain, and Sister Qin also lives by the lake at the foot of the mountain."

Among the residences of the concubines, Baochai was quite special. She lived alone by the lotus pond, with no neighbors, only adjacent to the Zichen Hall.

Daiyu lives in the bamboo grove. After climbing up to the pavilion, she can see Yingchun's residence. The other people are not far from each other.

The two went inside and sat down. Baochai smiled and said, "Yun'er said she likes to be able to see the lake as soon as she goes out, so she chose to live in Liufang Garden halfway up the mountain. I went to see it. The courtyard is very spacious and has many flowers and plants."

After chatting for a while, Baochai noticed that the emperor hadn't done anything to her, and she felt a little disappointed. She had thought that when they were alone together, the emperor would show her some affection.

Just as I was lost in thought, Xiangling walked in from outside and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Miss Yun and Miss Qin have arrived. They are outside and said they would like to invite Your Majesty to come out."

"Ask me to leave?" Chu Yan laughed, got up and walked out.

Baochai followed, somewhat blaming Baoqin for keeping the emperor in suspense and for making him go out, but she couldn't say it out loud, lest she spoil the emperor's mood.

The two had barely stepped outside when Xiangyun's playful laughter rang out as she called out, "Brother Emperor, look over here!"

Chu Yan looked over and saw two young women riding together on a white steed. The girl in front had delicate features, and her eyes curved into crescent moons when she smiled. The girl behind held the reins in one hand, her body light and upright, with a heroic and spirited appearance. She waved to him with a bright smile.

It was Baoqin and Xiangyun.

Baoqin was shorter than Xiangyun and sat in front, making it easy for her to take the reins from Xiangyun at any time, so that Xiangyun wouldn't be unable to control the horse.

Although Xiangyun was a novice, she was quite imposing. When she saw Chu Yan and Baochai looking at them, she immediately spurred her horse and galloped forward along the blue brick road. She ran past the two of them, pulled her horse back from a distance, and then turned around and ran back.

"Be careful!" Baochai scolded playfully, but Baoqin laughed and said, "It's alright, sister. The horse His Majesty gave to Sister Yun is very well-behaved."

As they spoke, Xiangyun brought the horse to a steady stop in front of them, laughing happily.

"Come down!"

Chu Yan reached out his hand to them. Xiangyun, who was sitting in the back, dismounted first and was pulled into Chu Yan's arms. He then kissed her rosy lips.

Xiangyun let out a shy whimper, Baochai glanced at her and then turned away, while Baoqin sat on her horse and laughed.

Soon after, their lips parted, and Chu Yan reached out to her again. Baoqin leaped off her horse and threw herself into his arms, seemingly prepared, her face flushed and her eyes closed.

Chu Yan didn't stand on ceremony and kissed him fiercely as before!

Baoqin gently complied.

After the kiss ended, Baoqin was panting slightly. She looked at her older sister and Sister Yun, who were both smiling at her, and she couldn't help but blush.

Chu Yan glanced at them, his gaze landing on the plump, fair-skinned Baochai, and said with a smile, "How about Miss Bao learns to ride a horse? How could Yang Guifei not know how to ride a horse?"

Baoqin and Xiangyun also looked at Baochai. Xiangyun stared at Baochai for a while and then laughed, "Isn't Sister Bao just like Yang Guifei? And when she rides a horse and puts on a veil, she looks exactly like the ladies in ancient Tang Dynasty paintings!"

Chu Yan was immediately surprised: "Incredible! What Yun girl is thinking is exactly what I wanted to say!"

Everyone laughed. Baoqin called over a eunuch and instructed him to lead the horse away and tie it up before going inside with Chu Yan.

After sitting down again, Baochai looked at her two younger sisters. Just now, when Chu Yan saw them riding horses, he hugged and kissed them without saying a word, which showed that he was moved by the way the two of them rode horses.

The emperor also taught her to ride a horse.

But Baochai could see that even if she learned to ride a horse, she might not be able to compare with the two of them.

Xiangyun looked out the window, then turned to Chu Yan and said, "It's getting late, we should go back. Daming Palace is much bigger than the garden, and my sister Qin and I live far away, it will take us a while to get there on horseback."

Because it was in the back garden, where there were many palace maids and eunuchs, Xiangyun and Baoqin did not dare to ride their horses at will.

Chu Yan nodded and told Yuanyang to see them out.

As soon as the three stepped outside, they saw Princess Qinghe, dressed in her finest attire, accompanied by four palace maids and four eunuchs, walking gracefully towards them.

The two sides have met.

Baochai carefully observed the princess's appearance. She had gone back to bathe and change clothes specifically for this evening, and her makeup was particularly elegant and noble. A string of pearls adorned her fair and slender neck, and her earrings swayed gently. With a sweet smile, she looked even more noble and dignified as a princess of the imperial family.

She was a princess in the previous dynasty, and in the present dynasty she was quickly made a concubine. She has only enjoyed wealth and honor in her life and has never suffered a day of hardship.

Baochai suddenly realized that Princess Qinghe's delicate and pampered appearance was precisely the reason why she was favored by the emperor:

Because the princess is so precious, Chu Yan only summoned her tonight, instead of having Consort Xiande and Consort Zhou serve him together. He only favored Princess Qinghe tonight.

Perhaps because she had been caught, Qinghe's delicate and beautiful face showed a hint of shyness as she asked them, "Sister Bao, Sister Yun, Sister Qin, why did you leave as soon as I arrived?"

Baochai just chuckled, and Baoqin was too embarrassed to say anything. Only Xiangyun held Qinghe's hand and said with a smile, "His Majesty the Emperor has summoned the Princess tonight. How can we stay in the room any longer?"

Qinghe blushed deeply. Seeing them all laughing, she realized they knew she was going to stay overnight at Zichen Hall. Too ashamed to lift her head, she didn't reply and went straight inside.

She soon saw her emperor husband, who was reclining on a couch reading a book. Upon seeing her, he waved.

"His Majesty."

Qinghe obediently went over and sat down. He then pulled her onto the couch, where she nestled quietly in his arms.

Chu Yan read for a while longer before looking down at her, teasing her a few times, and said with a smile, "I really like Qinghe's makeup tonight. How about we go to bed together later?"

Qinghe blushed and whispered with her eyes closed, "Your Majesty is saying these embarrassing things on purpose..."

Chu Yan picked up the pearl necklace around her neck with his fingers, played with it for a moment, then sat up, pulled the princess into his arms, and called out, "Come in!"

Qinghe obediently wrapped her arms around his waist with her snow-white arms, waiting to see what he would do.

Qingwen, Yuchuan, Yuanyang, Chunyan and others entered the room one after another. After they were all there, Chu Yan instructed, "Take a few palace maids and eunuchs and go to the homes of the young ladies and empresses to see what they are doing, and give them my greetings. If they are lacking anything, find out and come back to tell me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving their orders, they withdrew and discussed who would go to which young lady's house. They then left Zichen Hall, summoned eunuchs and palace maids to accompany them, and went to their respective homes.

In the west side room, Chu Yan laid Princess Qinghe down on the couch and slowly undressed her, stripping the shy princess into a little white lamb, and smilingly looking down at her delicate and slender body.

When Princess Qinghe could no longer bear the teasing, he lowered himself to kiss her and savored the kiss.

Regardless of Chu Yan's philandering in Qinghe, Qingwen went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion before it got dark, knocked on the door, and went inside along the corridor.

Daiyu stood up and asked with a smile, "Did the Emperor send you?"

Qingwen smiled and said, "His Majesty sent me to ask what Miss Lin is doing. His Majesty also asked if Miss Lin is feeling well and if she needs anything."

Daiyu answered them one by one, and then said with a smile, "Please also give my regards to the Emperor. I'm going to sleep soon and will get up early tomorrow. If the Emperor hasn't started court yet, I might go to Zichen Hall early in the morning."

Qingwen remembered this. Seeing that Miss Lin had nothing else to say, she took her leave and went to ask the Second Miss if she was alright.

Except for Xiangling, who remained in Zichen Hall to serve, all of them were assigned tasks.

For example, Liu Wu'er, out of consideration for her weak health, was told to go to the nearest Baochai residence.

just.

After Wu'er entered the room, Ying'er said that their young lady was taking a bath and it was not convenient for her to reply. However, since the emperor had sent someone to care for them, Ying'er had no choice but to pass on the message to the young lady.

Upon hearing this, Baochai hurriedly called Wu'er into the room.

When Wu'er went in and saw what was happening, her face immediately turned red.

There sat Bao-guniang on a low wooden stool. The room was filled with steam. Bao-guniang's delicate body was as white as jade. Her buttocks pressed against the stool, giving her the feeling of a ripe peach.

Looking at Bao's front, her body was round and full, like a snow-capped mountain with an imposing presence.

What was most striking was Bao-guniang's fair and voluptuous figure. Everything else was fine. When Wu-er first saw her, she was amazed by Bao-guniang's beautiful body. When she thought of her own weak and slender figure, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Rui Guan was wiping Bao's body with a hot towel when she saw her enter the room. She quickly covered her with the towel. Bao seemed to be very sensitive to heat, her face flushed. She smiled at her and asked, "Did His Majesty send you?"

As he spoke, he stood up and listened respectfully.

After Wu'er finished delivering the message, she chatted with Miss Bao for a few more words before taking her leave to return and report back.

Back at Zichen Hall, only Xiangling was inside. Wu'er originally wanted to wait outside, but then she heard the emperor's voice coming from the side room: "Xiangling, bring someone in to report back."

After giving Wu'er a meaningful look, Xiangling lifted the curtain and led her inside.

"what!"

Wu'er immediately heard the soft cry of the former dynasty's princess inside the room. Looking closely, she blushed deeply with embarrassment.

The princess's clothes had been discarded, her black hair was disheveled, her hairpins were askew, and her slender, fair body seemed to have turned pink. She was being admired in the emperor's arms, looking shy and pitiful.

Wu'er knew very well that her appearance and figure were no match for the princess of the previous dynasty.

"Who did you come from?" Chu Yan asked her, his hand still caressing the princess.

"Your Majesty, I came back from Miss Bao's place."

"Oh. What is Miss Bao doing?"

"She...she's taking a bath..."

Wu'er said shyly.

Chu Yan became interested. "Did you see Miss Bao taking a bath?"

Although Wu'er was shy, she dared not hide anything and described Xue Baochai's beauty while bathing to him in detail.

Chu Yan pressed her for answers several times, then smiled and said to the blushing Princess Qinghe, "Look, Miss Bao's are much bigger than yours, Princess, aren't they?"

Although Qinghe was shy, she was also somewhat curious and asked, "What does this have to do with matters between men and women? His Majesty did not favor Miss Bao..."

Chu Yan said in a serious tone, "Although I did not summon Miss Bao to serve me in bed, I already know how old Miss Bao is."

Qinghe couldn't help but ask again, "How big is Miss Bao's?"

Chu Yan took her hand and measured it himself. Finally, he said seriously, "I have never really measured how big Miss Bao is, but I estimate that she is a bit bigger than Qinghe."

Qinghe was both ashamed and annoyed. She rolled over and lay face down on the couch, complaining, "Your Majesty is just teasing me!"

Chu Yan laughed heartily, picked her up, and started to favor the princess from behind, beginning his nightly indulgence.

Wu'er and Xiangling left.

After a while, Qingwen returned and went into the room to report.

As expected, she saw the scene inside the room. The Emperor was enjoying himself with Princess Qinghe and didn't even notice her coming in.

Chu Yan only stopped when Qingwen uttered the words "Miss Lin." After catching his breath, he slowed his advances and asked Qingwen, "What did Miss Lin say? I didn't hear it just now."

Qingwen blushed and said, "Your Majesty and the princess are like this, no wonder you didn't hear anything... Miss Lin said she's going to bed and thanks Your Majesty for your concern. She also said she'll come over tomorrow morning."

After listening, Chu Yan looked down at Qinghe and saw that she had already covered her eyes with her arms, ashamed to be seen by the maids.

Chu Yan smiled, picked up Qinghe, and held her in his arms, gently loving her.

A short while later, someone else returned, and Qinghe suddenly became tense.

Chu Yan... deeply felt her tension and anxiety.

On a whim, Princess Qinghe would call in each of the maids who came in to report. Since these maids were all concubines, Princess Qinghe did not refuse them entry.

But every time she entered the house, she felt shy and nervous.

Yet she felt incredibly at ease. They hadn't seen each other for almost half a month, and she had several wild thoughts about the present moment. Now, her emperor husband had summoned her to his bedchamber, and she was enjoying his favor all night…
