Emperor And I ✔️

Li'er, She Said?

Chapter 65

Bai Shen Hong
Emperor Huizhong
The Palace

The last night before leaving for YiYuan, Shen Hong withdrew to his palace and had his entourage change him to plain cotton white robes. He enjoyed slumbering in the darkness of the garden at night so as to clear his thoughts.

Seated there on a wooden bench, he watched the moon and enjoyed the tranquility the place possessed. Owls hooted and insects chirped noisily. It was serene for his tired self.

"Push over," a female voice demanded.

He scowled, surprised someone could speak so rudely to him, the dragon.

"What?" Probably he heard her wrong.

"I said push over and make space for me, idiot."

A palace maid boastfully held her hips. He subsequently noted that he was not wearing his dragon attire, lowering him to be a servant of the palace. This he did, to wander around anonymously without his entourage and having every person bowing in front of him when they cited him. He just wanted to be normal, sometimes.

When he made no move, she arrogantly bulldozed him. And he let her push her.

She then threw herself next to him tiredly and pulled a book from her sleeves. "Mmhhh… This is strong."

"What is?" He was curious.

"Sshh," she held her lips with one finger. Then grinned as she plastered the book to his face. In it was a drawing of a nude couple being intimate.

"This is the latest edition I recently got!" she squealed excitedly. "It's strong isn't it?“

"Strong?" He was not familiar with slang.

"Makes my insides stand in awe. So strong," she moaned.

He glared at the drawing with the help of the full moon. Shen Hong didn't get it. Nothing about the profane drawing made his manhood hard.

"Aiyah," she laughed. "It's so strong he has no words for it." The palace maid took the book back and opened another page.

It was interesting how she was sexually poised by what he dimmed 'weak'.

"If you want one, just give me the money and I will get it for you," she offered.

He stifled himself from laughing. "No. Thank you."

"No? This book has the kick, it's really strong."

Strong was having a shameless courtesan bent over for him and moaning his name in ecstasy, not these weak images. Though the art was fine, he gave it that.

"The concubines also have this edition," she advertised. "They look at these and satisfy themselves in the middle of the night, you know?“

"Right." He contemplated finding out the truth behind her words by sending palace guards into Hougong the next morning. That would have him kill half the harem.

A concubine belonging to the emperor couldn't delve into such things, plus promoting such material through their purchases was disturbing at best. Then lusting over other men than him... Hmm he would charge them with treachery.

But it was not a good idea as that would diminish his power. And what had he to care about them having explicit books when he barely slept with most of them.

"Well, it's your loss," the girl grumbled. She rested her back on the hand of the bench and hauled her legs up, facing him. The light signified her features on her new seated position. She had a slim body and delicately soft features.
