Liu Xin gestered for Dong Xian to sit down next to him. This was the last thing anyone would have ever thought the emperor would do this. But he sat down. "Tell me about yourself Dong Xian." Dong Xian inhailed sharply. "Well...There isnt nothing that interesting about me. Im from Yunyan(now day Chunhua, shaaxi). Before entering the palace I lived alone with my sister, my parents died from illness when we were young and so I had to rase my sister by myself." Liu Xin habe him a small pat on the back. "That...Must have been hard, im sorry." Dong Xian blushed slightly, he shook his head. "It was, but dont worry of it!" Liu Xin sighs and leans closer to Dong Xian and whistpered in his ear, "I will worried for it, I will worry for you and your life...How old is your sister?" Dong Xian Thinks for a moment, ignoring the heat in his face. "19 if I remember right."
Liu Xin nods and leans away, "If you want, I can invite her to the palace as a concubine?" Dong Xian was silent, very silent. Liu Xin opened his mouth about to speak, but Dong Xian beat him to it.
"Your majesty..May I request something?" Liu Xin nods. "If I agree...Please promise you wont touch my sister. As much as I respect you and I know I have no write to ask for this...but please?" Liu Xin blinked a couple of times and laughed, "Yes yes, I agree." Dong Xian smiled, "Thank you!" Liu Xin nodded.
The sun fully goes down, the sky is dark. The stars shined brightly, shame with the moon. It was as if the goddess Chang'e was smiling down on the Great Western Han dynasty. It was getting late, Dong Xian didnt realise how long he had spent just talking with the emperor. Dong Xian gasped slightly when he noticed how late it was, he quickly stood up. "My lord, um, your majesty! Its late, I must be leaving.." Liu Xin put a hand up to stop him. "I havent picked a concubine to sleep with tonight and well, the late empress isnt here anymore. You have nothing to do, so stay." Dong Xian slowly nodded his head and sat back down.
Liu Xin loved Dong Xian's voice. His voice as smooth as silk, or the highest qallity jade, It made him weak in the knees. Liu Xin could listen to him talk all the time, even if he is just repeting himself over and over again. Liu Xin loved how easly emabrassed he got, his face turning a light rosey pink color. His inky black hair. It made Liu Xin feel things he has never felt before. He gently reached out and brushed a strand of hair from the other man's face, "Do you have a favorite flower?" Dong Xian thought for a moment, "When I was a kid my parents had a small garden, my favorite time was in spring when the plum blossoms bloomed!" Liu Xin smiled. 'Note to self; Plant Plum trees tomorrow, dont let servents help.' Liu Xin thought to himself.
"Your majesty, I know I have been being greedy...But can I ask something?" Liu Xin smirked and leaned closer, their noses brushed eachother. "Of course, and you are not greedy at all!" Dong Xian took a deep breath. "I have only been in the palace for a month...I want to get married. And if I am married, no one was would think anything of our relationship."
Liu Xin's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He moved the cloth away from his face, there was still a slight imprint but nothing too bad. Dong Xian was worried he had gotte upset. And so without thinking he reatched out and gently grazed his fingers across the emperor's face, touching the now pink mark on his face. Liu Xin gently grabbed Dong Xian's hand and pulled him into his lap. The smaller man yelps slightly.
"Y-your majesty!?" Liu Xin just smiled. "I will let you marry. Do you have a girl in mind?" Dong Xian sheepishly nodded his head. "I do...but you might not like it.." Liu Xin spoke softly to make sure the other man feels comfertavle around him, "Tell me."
Dong Xian swollows the lump in his throat, "The palace maid..Hóng Yán." Liu Xin nodded.
"I will tell her and the court tomorrow"
Liu Xin sighed but chcukled softly as he saw Dong Xian's face light up! He patted the other man's head. The two talked for so long, Dong Xian accidently fell asleep.
Liu Xin laughed and tucked the tired offcial into his bed. Sleeping in the emperor's bed!? Such an honor! Dong Xian would certenly be surprised.
Liu Xin kissed his forhead and fell asleep next to him.
