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

Chapter 305 Xiaoxiang Pavilion: Daiyu and Xiangyun

Day two.

After bidding farewell to Miaoyu, Chu Yan and Xiuyan left Longcui Nunnery and returned to Yangxin Hall under the secret gazes of the young nuns.

Xiuyan asked, "Isn't His Majesty going to court?"

Chu Yan smiled and said, "Let's take a day off. The world is at peace these days, and the court meetings are all about trivial matters. Let the ministers handle those. I plan to change the court meetings to once every three days so I can do other things."

Xiuyan smiled and asked, "I heard that His Majesty intends to change the Imperial Academy."

Chu Yan nodded and chatted with her as they walked. After returning home, they talked for a while longer before Xiuyan sighed, "Your Majesty established the dynasty last year and intends to reform the world this year. I deeply respect that."

Chu Yan pulled her into his arms and laughed, "It's still early. Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish; it won't be effective for five or ten years. Accompany me to read a book for a while."

Xiuyan changed the subject, nestled in his arms, and after a while, suddenly blushed and smiled, "She rejected His Majesty's kindness, and she must regret it in her heart."

Chu Yan knew that Xiuyan was talking about Miaoyu. While reading, he teased her breasts under the covers and said slowly, "I originally planned to make her a beauty, but she satisfied me very much last night. I wanted to make her a concubine, but she refused. Next time, it's better to make her a beauty."

Xiuyan leaned against him and asked curiously, "There are several ranks between a Beauty and a Consort, why did His Majesty bestow such titles?"

Chu Yan laughed: "No reason, I just think 'beauty' sounds nice."

Xiuyan laughed too. No wonder Sister Feng was also granted the title of Beauty, even lower than Consort Zhou. It wasn't that she wasn't favored; on the contrary, she was favored, which is why she was granted the title of Beauty.

After savoring it for a while, Chu Yan raised his hand and smelled it. His hand was full of fragrance, which made Xiuyan blush. Not long after, he enjoyed the pleasure of the other woman in the warm pavilion.

Five days later, Xiuyan returned to the Jade Emperor Pavilion to stay, and the Yangxin Hall was finally vacated so that the girls could take turns serving her in bed.

After spring arrived, the snow began to melt gradually, but a sudden spring snow fell for three days.

The garden was damp and cold, so the girls didn't like to go out much. Chu Yan also didn't go to court. He had a eunuch bring the memorials to the warm pavilion, where he would read them while embracing Baochai, Keqing, or Fengnu.

That night, when they were all gone, Chu Yan, wearing a mink cloak, went out of the warm pavilion. He looked up and saw that the sky was gloomy, and for some reason, he thought of Daiyu.

She came this morning too, but the weather is perfect for visiting Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

So he ordered, "Go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I won't be back tonight."

He left before they could react, telling Qingwen and the others to pack their things and come back later.

Following the wet stone path to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Chu Yan entered. Inside, the bamboo shadows were dim. As he walked along the covered walkway, he heard Xiangyun's laughter coming from inside the window, and his mood immediately improved.

After entering the house, Ou Guan came out to greet them. When she was about to call Zi Juan over, Chu Yan stopped her and went straight into the house. He saw two outstanding girls playing around in the warm pavilion, and Xiang Yun was being pressed down on the kang by Dai Yu with a smile.

A scene of beautiful women playing is always a delight to behold.

The two looked over together, and when they saw it was him, Xiangyun quickly said with a smile, "Brother Emperor, come and help me! Sister Lin is going to play tricks on me!"

Daiyu laughed and said, "That little Yun girl, she's complaining about me to the Emperor!"

He then pinched her cheek again; the two beautiful young girls continued to play around in front of the man.

Simply because this man is their husband, they don't need to hide from him when playing in their private quarters.

Chu Yan entered the warm room, leaned back on the kang (a heated brick bed), and laughed, "What are you all doing?"

Neither of them would speak while laughing. After they stopped joking around, Xiangyun sat down next to him and asked with a smile, "Why is Emperor Brother here?"

Chu Yan pulled her over, wanting to hug her, but Xiangyun smiled and avoided him, blushing as she said, "Sister Lin is here... let's talk for a while."

Chu Yan said, "You're never shy at Yangxin Hall, so why are you suddenly shy in front of your Sister Lin today?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, everyone is pampered together, but here, in front of me, how can Sister Yun not be ashamed? If she isn't ashamed, I'll be ashamed of her!"

Xiangyun blushed, and after being told that, she became even more resentful. She threw herself into Chu Yan's arms and said to Daiyu, "I'm not afraid of you being ashamed~ She's my emperor brother's concubine, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "It was my oversight; I didn't realize that the person in front of me wasn't Yun'er, but Consort Jing."

Teasing her like that, Xiangyun laughed and wanted to pounce on her, but Chu Yan held her waist and she could only say, "You're laughing at me for too long. His Majesty will favor you tonight. I'll get up early tomorrow and come over to see if you'll be ashamed when you receive his favor for the first time!"

Daiyu's stunningly beautiful face indeed flushed red, and she couldn't help but glance at Chu Yan.

"How dare you say such a thing? I wonder who made her so afraid to even open her eyes and look at me."

Chu Yan smiled and pulled Daiyu into his arms as well. The shy Lin Daiyu and the blushing Yun Daiyu were both in his embrace.

However, judging from their bold words, they were probably talking about girls' private matters, which might be related to the topic of serving the emperor.

As news of his overnight stay at the Longcui Nunnery spread, only Daiyu and Baochai remained unserved in the imperial palace, in both the East and West mansions.

Although there was also a young girl from the Wang family, she was not very favored.

Xiangyun blushed for a long time. After chatting for a while, she got up and said with a smile, "I'm going back now."

Daiyu glanced at her, then looked at Chu Yan, and smiled, "Why are you leaving as soon as your emperor brother arrives? Perhaps he is looking for his sister."

Xiangyun laughed and said, "Brother is looking for Sister Lin, not me."

As she was about to put on her shoes, Daiyu stopped her and said with a smile, "We agreed to sleep together tonight, so let's not worry about whether he comes or not."

Xiangyun was stunned and looked at her brother, the emperor.

Chu Yan understood, smiled, and pulled the two into his arms, saying, "Tonight, the three of us will sleep together, and no one will leave!"

Daiyu blushed and smiled, "My bed is too small for three people to sleep in. Please, Your Majesty, go back to your bed."

Chu Yan said, "It's alright. I'll take the trouble to sleep with Lin Meimei in my arms! Lin Meimei is light, and I'll feel comfortable with her pressing down on me."

Daiyu blushed with embarrassment. Xiangyun had come over today hoping to sleep with her and chat among the sisters, but Chu Yan had unexpectedly arrived. Not wanting Xiangyun to leave, she simply asked her to stay as well.

But the bandit king seized the opportunity and said something that made her die of embarrassment.

Xiangyun glanced at Sister Lin and smiled, "I'd better go back. If I stay, Sister Lin will blame me!"

Daiyu blushed and said, "You're talking nonsense. Tonight, I'll have your emperor brother hold you while I sleep on the inside of the bed!"

Xiangyun smiled and said, "It's better to hold Sister Lin!"

Chu Yan quickly said to the girl he was holding in both arms, "Sister Lin and Sister Yun, don't fight. I have two hands, I can hold you both at the same time!"

The two were so ashamed that they couldn't lift their heads. They got up and hid on the bed. Chu Yan tried to go over, but they beat him out of the bed together.

After a while, Daiyu and Xiangyun returned to the warm pavilion and went to the study with Chu Yan to sit for a while.

The Emperor and Sister Lin were playing with calligraphy. Xiangyun watched for a while, then got up and opened the window. Seeing the snowflakes falling, she was overjoyed and turned to the two of them, saying, "Tomorrow we'll have hot pot!"

Daiyu raised her head, rubbed her hands together and breathed on them to warm them, and said with a smile, "It probably won't snow tomorrow." She then glanced at him.

This is because Chu Yan arrived too late; he had already eaten dinner when he arrived.

Chu Yan laughed and said, "Hot pot is fine whenever we want. As long as you're here, I'll come back tomorrow."

Daiyu remained silent, but Xiangyun smiled and said, "With the snow scene before us, let's not say anything discouraging. How about we compose a poem together?"

"You get up," Daiyu said with a smile after glancing at Chu Yan.

Seeing that her brother the emperor had tacitly agreed, Xiangyun thought for a while and said, "My hand, which had just stopped writing, is now frozen!"

Chu Yan looked at Daiyu and smiled knowingly. Daiyu's gesture of warming her hands just now was truly adorable, no wonder Xiangyun used it as a starting point.

Daiyu laughed and said, "What a boring start. Fine, I'll compose a couplet for you: 'First, paint the jade dust floating on the window.'"

Xiangyun chuckled.

Chu Yan continued: "The tiles seem to be covered with soft, cloud-like leaves."

Xiangyun continued.

When they had almost exhausted their rhyme scheme, the three of them stopped. Xiangyun wrote down the poem, and Daiyu laughed after reading it, saying, "Tonight, none of the three of us have written a single good line."

Xiangyun pointed to the first line and said, "My line is good!"

Daiyu picked up the paper and crumpled it into a ball, while Xiangyun laughed and threw herself into Chu Yan's arms, using her emperor brother to shield her sister Lin.

After a while of joking around, their hands and feet got cold, so Chu Yan returned to the warm pavilion with them. Cui Lu and Yuan Yang came in and asked with smiles, "Would Your Majesty and the ladies like to take a bath?"

Yuanyang was fine, but Cuilu couldn't help glancing at Chu Yan. They probably didn't notice, but Xiangyun blushed.

She knew what Lu'er's eyes meant.

It had been five or six days since she had last served the emperor. In the past, when she was favored by her brother the emperor, Lu'er would also be able to please him. But not tonight. Sister Lin was not yet married. Although the three of them slept together, no matter how outrageous it was, they could not do that in front of Sister Lin. If Sister Lin didn't die of shame, she would die of shame too.

Huh? Sister Lin's face is red too?

Xiangyun saw that she was blushing and said, "I just took a bath and washed my hair yesterday. I'll just wash myself today. Would you like to take a bath, Sister Yun?"

Xiangyun smiled and said, "I don't need it either."

Chu Yan said, "If none of you are washing, I will." He then instructed Yuanyang, "Go and carry three buckets of hot water to the back room." He then smiled at Xiangyun and said, "Yun'er, would you like to serve me?"

Xiangyun blushed, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Why don't you ask Sister Lin to serve you?"

Daiyu blushed and remained silent.

Chu Yan laughed and said, "Your sister Lin is shy and doesn't like to see a man's body."

Upon hearing this, Daiyu blushed and spat at him, saying, "It's clearly your absurdity... It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Chu Yan then took her soft, jade-like hand and said gently, "Would it be alright if Sister Lin came too?"

Daiyu couldn't break free even if she wanted to.

Yuanyang and Luer covered their mouths and laughed together before going out to prepare. Yuanyang even specifically instructed, "Have the kitchen prepare more hot water."

Soon after, Chu Yan led Daiyu and Xiangyun to the Retreat Room, which was kept very clean, with the windows and door cracks sealed off, serving as Daiyu's usual bathing place.

After Chu Yan entered the room, he calmly asked Xiangyun to help him undress. Daiyu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to help as well.

Xiangling, Zijuan, and Cuilu were serving inside the room. After a while, when Zijuan turned her head, she saw a tall and strong man with a naked body and immediately blushed with embarrassment.

Looking at the girl again, her cheeks were already flushed like rouge, and she stood there at a loss.

She was then embraced by a tall, naked man, and the girl instantly went limp.

Chu Yan turned to the stunned Zijuan and smiled, "Come and help your young lady."

Zijuan snapped out of her daze and rushed over to help the weak girl. Yun, who was standing to the side, chuckled to herself as the Emperor also took her into his arms.

Chu Yan sat down and said with a smile, "Come and wash me."

Xiangyun quickly said, "I'll wash Emperor Brother's hair!"

Saying that, she brought hot water and washed his hair with Lu'er and Xiangling.

Chu Yan sat in the chair, smiling as he watched Daiyu blush with embarrassment. When he stood up after washing his hair and pointed directly at her, Daiyu finally turned her head away in embarrassment.

But that shocking scene was etched into her mind and she could never forget it.

Recalling the previous two times, when Chu Yan removed her undergarments in bed and kissed her body with lingering affection, she vaguely understood what it was really like for a married couple to consummate their marriage on their wedding night.

"All right."

Chu Yan entered the bathtub and smiled at the two women, saying, "I'm going to soak for a while. Sister Xie Lin and Sister Yun, you should go back and wash yourselves too. See you in the warm pavilion later."

Daiyu blushed, nodded slightly, and tried to pull Xiangyun away.

But it didn't pull.

Xiangyun hesitated for a moment, then blushed and said to Daiyu, "You go back first, I'll stay and serve my brother the Emperor..."

Daiyu glanced at Chu Yan in the bathtub, then turned and hurriedly left with Zijuan.

Xiangyun, left behind, didn't know how to speak. She stood there hesitant to say anything, and Chu Yan really liked the sight of the shy girl asking for pleasure. He teased her for a while before laughing and saying, "Yun'er, why don't you come in quickly? Take a bath with me, so you won't have to wipe yourself when you get back."

Xiangyun giggled shyly, and with Lu'er's help, she took off her clothes and removed her bodice, revealing her tall and slender figure.

It was cold outside, so she quickly stepped onto a stool and into the bathtub. The moment she stepped out with her long, fair legs, Chu Yan looked closely and was amazed by her beauty. Before Xiangyun even entered the water, he couldn't help but reach out and embrace her soft, fragrant body, and lower his head to kiss her.

"Well."

Xiangyun was quickly moved, her soft body immersing in the water, and she also leaned against her emperor brother's arms.

He started humming softly.

Xiangling couldn't bear it. Knowing that she wouldn't be serving him tonight, she pushed Lu'er over and hid outside the door.

Cuilu watched longingly for a long time, and only when her young mistress was about to pass away did she step forward to receive her mistress's favor twice at her young mistress's call.

Although it was a rush, it still filled her stomach.

……

Half an hour later, Xiangyun changed her clothes and sat down in the warm pavilion.

Zijuan secretly observed her and saw that Miss Yun had a rosy complexion and charming eyes. She couldn't help but think to herself, "Could this be what the old women were talking about behind my back? Her charm is all in her eyes and brows. Miss Yun has become more and more beautiful since she was made a concubine and has been served by the emperor."

He couldn't help but look at his young lady again, thinking to himself, "When will my lady be favored by the Emperor? With your beauty, few in the harem can compare. His Majesty is also extremely fond of your beauty."

Lost in thought, the Emperor returned to his room to rest, and Zijuan and Xiangling hurriedly helped the three of them to bed.

Xiangling glanced at the bed and smiled, "Miss Lin's bed can just fit three people, but they have to be close together. His Majesty will sleep in the middle, so where will Miss Lin and Miss Yun sleep?"

Daiyu said, "I'll sleep outside. I'll be quiet when I fall asleep at night. But Yun'er is a restless sleeper. She'll sleep inside."

Chu Yan laughed and said, "No need. Yu'er will sleep in the middle, and I will stay on the outside. Each of the three of us will have our own blanket. Even if I wanted to embrace one of them, I wouldn't be able to."

Having received the emperor's favor in the bathhouse, Xiangyun was now too lazy to sleep anywhere, and feeling drowsy and weak-willed, she went to bed and slept there when she saw that Sister Lin didn't say anything.

Daiyu followed him to bed, slipped into the red silk quilt, and turned to look at the man standing by the bed.

Under the red candlelight, the two young girls lay on the bed gazing at him. Chu Yan's heart softened. After getting into bed, he couldn't help but lean in and gently kiss Daiyu's lips.

Looking at Xiangyun again, she leaned over and kissed her as well.

Zijuan and Xiangling exchanged a glance, lowered the bed curtains, blew out the candles, and went out.

In the darkness, Xiangyun laughed and said, "I often sleep with Sister Lin, but tonight with Brother Emperor is also here, which is quite interesting."

Chu Yan said, "It's not surprising that you sisters play and sleep together, but it's your second brother Bao who's different—"

Daiyu chuckled but remained silent.

Xiangyun asked curiously, "What's wrong with Baoyu?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Your emperor brother is jealous!"

Xiangyun laughed and then quickly said, "It's fine when we're young, but once we get older, we can't play together like we used to. We should at least keep our distance."

Chu Yan said, "The affection between men and women is always something to be envied. It's a pity that I had to conquer the world, and at that time I didn't even know Lin Daiyu and Yun Daiyu."

Daiyu laughed and said, "You always talk about us. Where did you grow up? Yun'er and I don't know you either. We studied and learned to read at home. You must have suffered a lot outside, didn't you?"

Towards the end of her sentence, her tone became more distressed.

Chu Yan laughed and said, "Although I was often hungry when I was a child, I was able to run and jump and go wherever I wanted to play. Today I would pick lotus seeds, tomorrow I would go fishing, and the day after tomorrow I would go out to hang out in the streets."

Daiyu got up, looked at him, and asked, "Have you eaten enough? I've heard that people outside are always hungry."

The daughters of noble families have never seen anyone go hungry.

Chu Yan reached out and touched her face, while Xiangyun asked, "How about we go pick lotus seeds another day?"

Chu Yan agreed.

Daiyu lay down again and smiled, "Last year we picked lotus seeds in the palace, but it's a pity you weren't there."

As they chatted, Xiangyun fell asleep without them noticing. Chu Yan and Daiyu spoke softly, and when she was tired, Chu Yan leaned over and kissed her lips.

Daiyu, blushing with shyness, accepted his advances and they kissed passionately for a long time, completely forgetting that Xiangyun was still by her side.

When she was out of breath, Chu Yan finally parted his lips from hers and said with a smile, "Yu'er, go to sleep now and have a good dream tonight. It would be best if you dreamed of me again."

Daiyu's cheeks were burning hot, and her body was also hot. Upon hearing this, she laughed and said, "Dreaming that you pointed a gun at me? I won't stand for that."

After saying that, she was so ashamed that she hid under the covers and refused to say another word.

Chu Yan thought for a while before suddenly realizing:

It turns out that it was someone who pointed at her in the retreat room before, and Lin Daiyu remembered it very well!
