Chapter 473: Story of Yanxi Palace Er Qing 6
Qianlong's kiss was overbearing and passionate, as if he wanted to swallow Erqing whole. His big hands tightly held her waist, leaving her no room to struggle.
Er Qing was kissed so hard that she felt dizzy and almost breathless. She sneered in her heart, this is the emperor who is high above, saying that he is affectionate, but in fact he is just an ordinary man who is greedy for beauty.
"Well..." Er Qing deliberately let out a broken whimper, with a hint of pain, a hint of obedience, and more of seduction. This sound really made Qianlong more excited, and his movements became more and more unbridled.
"Your Majesty..." Er Qing felt her clothes being stripped off piece by piece, but she did not feel the slightest bit of shame in her heart, only endless anticipation.
She tightly grasped Qianlong's dragon robe, as if grasping the last straw, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this servant... this servant is afraid..."
Qianlong was aroused by her pitiful appearance and had an infinite desire to protect her. He softened his movements a little, looked down at the person in his arms, and said in a tone so gentle that it almost dripped water: "Don't be afraid, I will love you well..."
The red candles flickered, the curtains hung low, and the dragon bed was covered with soft brocade, emitting a faint scent of ambergris. Er Qing lay on it, feeling sore and weak all over, as if she was falling apart.
Qianlong hugged her, gently stroking her hair with his big hands, his eyes full of tenderness and affection: "Are you okay?"
Er Qing shyly buried her head in Qianlong's chest and said in a tender voice: "Your Majesty, you hurt me..."
Upon hearing this, Qianlong could not help but burst into laughter. This little girl was obviously the one who provoked him, but now she pretended to be aggrieved. It really made people love and pity her.
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Qianlong coaxed softly, "I will compensate you now."
The temperature in the room gradually rose, and Er Qing couldn't help but let out painful groans, but her eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.
She knew that she had finally gotten this man, this almighty emperor!
"Your Majesty..." Er Qing tightly grasped Qianlong's arm, her nails digging deeply into his flesh, leaving several shocking scratches.
Qianlong didn't care at all. He looked down at the woman under him, his eyes full of desire to conquer her.
He liked her stubbornness, her resistance, and even more so the way she finally surrendered to him.
She knew that she had made the right move...
The next morning, before daybreak, the palaces began to get busy. Which master the emperor had turned over last night was always the most concerned matter in the harem.
As soon as the news spread like wildfire throughout the six palaces, the one who slept with the Queen last night was Xitala Erqing, who was from the Queen's palace.
"What? Xitala Erqing? She's just a mere palace maid, is she worthy of this?" In Chuxiu Palace, when Concubine Gao heard the news, she was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground, and the fine celadon shattered all over the floor, just like her mood at the moment.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." The personal maid Zhilan carefully advised while picking up the debris on the ground: "The emperor may just be in a whim. You don't have to get angry over a servant."
"On a whim?" Concubine Gao sneered, "I want to see how long this 'whim' can last!"
The next day, the imperial edict was transmitted to all palaces and courtyards.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Erqing of Xitala clan is gentle and docile, beautiful and intelligent, and very pleasing to the eye. I hereby promote her to the rank of Concubine Yue, granting her the residence in Yongshou Palace. I decree this—"
The shrill voice echoed over the Forbidden City, startling a flock of flying birds.
The news spread like wildfire in spring, burning every corner of the Forbidden City. No one expected that the emperor would favor an unknown little palace maid and even make her the concubine of Yue.
In Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Gao was so angry that she swept all the delicacies on the table to the ground. The sound of broken porcelain was accompanied by her sharp curse: "You, a lowly creature, dare to compete with me for my favor?!"
In Changchun Palace, the Queen heard about this and just smiled faintly. She told Mingyu beside her: "Go to the storehouse and pick out some fine brocade and send it to Concubine Yue's palace. Say it's a reward from me, and congratulate her on giving birth to a prince soon."
At this moment, Er Qing, who was pushed to the forefront of the storm, was lazily lying on the soft couch in the warm room, enjoying the attentive service of two little palace maids.
"Congratulations, Concubine Xi, Congratulations, Concubine Xi! You are now the emperor's favorite. Everyone in the harem has to look at you."
"That's right. Back when you were working in the Queen's palace, those concubines relied on their favor and gave you a hard time. Now, it's time for them to have a taste of that!"
The two young palace maids chatted with each other, their faces full of flattering smiles. Er Qing listened to these compliments, but her heart was calm.
She wants more than just this.
"Your Majesty, you are now very successful, but you must not forget us, your former sisters." A little palace maid said flatteringly while massaging Erqing's legs.
Er Qing smiled faintly, took the hot tea handed over by another palace maid, took a sip, and then slowly said: "Of course I will not forget you. In the future, I will have to rely on your help in this Yongshou Palace."
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? It is a blessing for us to be able to serve you!" The two little palace maids looked at each other, their eyes filled with unconcealable joy.
Ever since the emperor made Erqing the special concubine of Yue, the attitude towards her in the palace has taken a 180-degree turn.
Back then, she was just an insignificant maid in the Queen's palace. All those concubines ordered her around and bossed her around. Now, she wanted to see who dared to put on airs in front of her!
"By the way," Er Qing put down the teacup and asked casually, "Is there any movement from the Queen?"
One of the maids named Lan'er quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the Queen has been claiming to be ill since the day after you slept with her."
Er Qing's lips curled up in an imperceptible sneer.
She knew Fu Cha Rongyin too well. That woman seemed dignified and virtuous on the surface, and a model for the country. But in fact, she was just a poor creature with a strong appearance but a weak heart.
The emperor favored her, so she claimed to be sick and stayed at home. Was she trying to be angry with the emperor?
How ridiculous!
"Your Majesty, tell me, is the Queen jealous of you?" another palace maid named Yu'er asked cautiously.
Er Qing glanced at her sideways, and Yu Er was so scared that she immediately knelt on the ground, trembling: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I spoke too much!"
"Get up," Er Qing said calmly, "I am not so petty that I won't tolerate your gossip."
