In the Xuantian Palace, the palace attendants were quietly guarding their respective positions of duty, only the sound of insects chittering could be heard under the quietness of the moon. All the palaces and pavilions were like intricate patterns in the darkness, it was as if they surrounded the Xuantian Palace to wait for the arrival of Emperor of Cang He - for the arrival of their monarch.
Qi Xutian still burned his usual sandalwood in the bedroom, but only a young man lay on the large dragon bed. Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, the teenager raised his head slightly, exposing his slender, white neck inside his lapel, and he revealed a smile towards the visitor.
"Father seems very happy. Feng Zhaoyi and Wang Meiren weren't able to sleep tonight."
The visitor untied his dragon robe which was already loosely worn, only leaving an inner shirt on, and casually released his hair. His actions inadvertently revealed his languor and sensualness after a sexual affair. After he heard the words, he turned to look at the boy lying on the dragon bed.
The long black hair of the boy covered the pillow like a dark, smooth blooming cloud of ink; the seductive scenery peeking through his thin, pure-white inner shirt was very attractive. His slender neck was raised in a seductive arc. As he spoke in the room filled with half-light and half-darkness, his delicate clavicle - on which vaguely visible red marks remained - caused Qi Xutian's imagination to run wild. Qi Mingyue's pair of stunning eyes appeared like deep waters that seemed to be gentle like water yet indifferent, this sense of contradiction made people want to conquer him and see him show another expression drowning in lust while lying under him.
"MingEr is not obedient again. I have suffered a lot in order to not hurt you." Moving forward, his fingertips entered through his lapel and lingered on the red marks, "They faded away a lot, could it be that you stole Bai Fu to remove them and would like for them to disappear sooner? Hmm?"
The deep, dark voice and the slightly dangerous ending made Qi Mingyue sneer in ridicule, "Father was really wronged, even after favouring two concubines, you suspect that I used Bai Fu to remove these marks. You think I would care about these marks?"
Qi Xutian sat on the side of the bed and untied his inner shirt, upon seeing the reddish traces on the white and tender skin of his neck and chest, he said, "MingEr doesn't care, but I care very much. If not for you refusal, why would I even ask those two concubines to resolve my desires? It’s all because of you, you seduce me but say such words."
Qi Mingyue let him untie his inner shirt and did not refuse, "So it seems that I'm bad, but I don't know how long Father Emperor can wait?" Looking into Qi Xutian's eyes, his gaze was both inquisitive and provocative.
Turning over and covering him, Qi Xutian left a deep kiss mark on his neck before lying on the side, saying with a sigh, "You are really testing my self-control. If you continue this way, there is no guarantee that I will continue to abide by my promise of waiting for you to grow up."
Since taking Zuizhu, his physique had improved a lot. Because of Zuizhu, combined with the medicine of Ya Qing, his internal strength developed rapidly. If there was a little wound on his body, it would heal completely in a few days and leave no trace. In addition, although he had not yet reached the year of his adulthood ceremony, Qi Mingyue had been diligent in martial arts in recent years. His body was now different from the weak young body he had back then.
He now had a straight posture and a well-proportioned frame. Although he was just twelve years old, he appeared no different from fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, his appearance was also much more handsome than when he was young. His eyes were like water, gentle and clear, and his thin, pink lips were always curved into a smile. His long hair was no longer combed into a child's bun but was loosely tied on the back of his head, with a few loose strands of hair falling, it added to his laid-back and elegant demeanour that may have been inherited from Qi Xutian.
However, compared to Cang He Emperor's wicked, unbridled, and fickle temperament, the Second Prince Qi Mingyue had more grace and calmness in the eyes of everyone. His noble bearing and elegance made the other princes incomparable to him. Even though the Eldest Prince, Qi Musheng, had made great efforts to study literature and martial arts in recent years and practised riding the horse, managed to get rid of his weak and timid disposition, but he had a wooden face and a detached, cold temperament which wasn't liked by the public.
The Third Prince, Qi Lianshuo, was half a year younger than them. He was smart, well-behaved, cute, and very lovely. The other princes were comparably very young. There was Zheli, the Fifth Prince who was ten years old; both the Sixth Prince Yu and the Seventh Prince Yaoyu were six years old; and the Ninth Prince who was the youngest of them all and only three years old.
Although Fourth Princess Ninglu was a little headstrong, she was also lively and clever, but back when the Second Prince got injured a few years ago, her concubine mother was fined and she hadn't been allowed to leave her room for half a year, she hadn't received the attention of the Emperor of Cang He since.
The Eighth Princess Xi Yu was like the last Princess Lian Wu. Although their names were a pity, few people cared about them and neither of them was valued in the palace.
However, the Second Prince, Qi Mingyue, who had always been spoiled by the Emperor of Cang He, Qi Xutian, since young, and never moved out after he started living in the Xuantian Palace in his early years. No matter what his subjects said or how dissatisfied the concubines were, they didn't dare mention it again under the eyes of the Emperor.
At this time, Qi Mingyue sniffed the aroma floating in the air above the dragon bed and whispered, "The incense Feng Zhaoyi used is quite good, but unfortunately, after getting mixed with Wang Meiren's rouge powder, it became muddy."
Qi Xutian turned and pinched his waist, his face was unhappy, "MingEr has the ability to smell and recognise fragrance used by a woman. Why haven't I found out that you are so clear about the fragrance used by an imperial concubine?"
Qi Mingyue was lying on the bed with his lapels open and black hair scattered on his fair chest. He played with his hair and looked up at the man standing in front of the bed. "Doesn't Father bring back a soft jade-like warm fragrance every time you return after favouring this imperial concubine? After smelling a lot, I can naturally distinguish it."
Seeing that MingEr didn't care about his words and instead lay down leisurely, exposing the charming yet flexible curve of his waist, which made him bewitching, Qi Xutian couldn't help but narrow his eyes and his lips curved into a wicked smile, "You don't mind? You won't blame me for coming back with the fragrance of a concubine?" As he spoke, he stretched his hands lightly around his waist, loosened the sash, and slowly moved in to touch.
Holding down his increasingly provocative hand that kept going downwards, Qi Mingyue spoke, "What do you think, Father?" The calm smile on his face showed no signs of dissatisfaction, but some wanton frivolity, "I'm young, but I still know the beauty of fragrance. As a man, how could I not be pleased? Besides, those who win Father's favour must be of extraordinary quality, and the fragrance used by them is so pleasant and charming. I get to appreciate it, why would I blame you?"
Fastening his clothes, he looked into those deep eyes, "Father Emperor and I don't have any commitment tying us. I won't be dissatisfied with this."
Seeing that he really smiled calmly, Qi Xutian raised his eyebrows and slid his hand over to the boy's slender neck to caress, "MingEr's words really make me angry." There was an evil smile on his lips but his eyes were cold. He asked: "Feng Zhaoyi's fragrance... MingEr thinks it smells good, do you like it?"
Qi Mingyue didn't seem know his intention and answered, "It smells clean, refreshing, and calming. It's really good."
Qi Xutian heard the words, smiled deeply, and started untying his inner shirt. He started making his way outside after saying, "Sleep first."
Hearing him instruct the servants outside to prepare bathing utensils, Qi Mingyue withdrew his eyes from his Father's back and revealed a smile of unknown meaning.
"Wu Yao." He whispered softly and a white figure fell before his eyes. "Go to Ying Ran and tell her to put in the sandalwood incense used by Father Emperor in the censer. It was all used up."
Wu Yao went away in a flash and after a while, Ying Ran walked inside with light footsteps. Within the bedroom of Xuantian Palace, Qi Xutian did not allow the palace attendants to enter at will. They could only wait outside the door and can only enter when called inside.
The aroma of sandalwood in the chamber was still intact and there was another fragrance mixed in that she didn't know the source of, it smelled pleasant. His Highness disliked the too strong smell, so she always put in less. Its aroma was light and elegant. She looked inside the incense burner and there was still some incense left in the burner, the amount was adequate, but His Royal Highness made Wu Yao call her in to refill the incense for some reason.
Despite her doubts, Ying Ran had always been good-natured and sensible, she wasn't as impulsive as Hong Qui. When she saw His Royal Highness lying on the dragon bed, she couldn't see his expression, so she didn't talk much. After gently opening the censer, she put the soul jade sandalwood inside. This kind of scent was bright and clear, like ice jade, it burned in the censer like fireflies. Its fragrance was as warm as jade, but also as cold as ice. It was used by His Majesty and His Highness also liked it. Although rare, it was soothing, long-lasting, and had the ability to calm the mind and was used in the Xuantian Palace endlessly.
After the incense was refilled, the warm aroma in the chambers that had come from nowhere was gone. The room was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood like jade and ice. It was clear and light, but the smell was very attractive.
"Your Highness, the incense has been renewed." She leaned over and saw him with a slightly open shirt without a quilt covering him. She quickly fastened his belt for him and pulled the silk quilt over him in concern, "Although the weather is irritatingly hot, it's night, please pay more attention to your body. Sleep carefully, this slave will retreat."
Qi Mingyue turned to look at her, "It has been hard for you, Ying Ran. Go back and rest. In case you fall ill, I will feel distressed."
His lips were curved into a gentle smile, his eyes were soft and tender. Although he was of noble birth, he would sympathise with others and every time His Royal Highness looked at others like this, it would always make people's hearts jump. Clearly, he hadn't even reached adulthood, but with his gentle and nonchalant smile, he excluded an extraordinary feeling. Although there was nothing ambiguous, Ying Ran still blushed for no reason.
Qi Xutian finished bathing and changed his robe before stepping into the chamber. He saw Ying Ran with reddish cheeks standing beside the bed.
Seeing him coming in, Ying Ran quickly paid her respects, "Your Majesty." Qi Xutian saw the young man on the bed was covered with a quilt and had his clothes on properly. He nodded towards her, "Leave, you won't need to wait here."
Ying Ran realized that his tone was cold. Although she felt that it was strange, she had grown accustomed to His Majesty's unpredictable mood and quietly retreated.
"Father Emperor took a bath? Didn't you return after washing? Why did you take a bath again?"
Qi Xutian didn't answer, but untied his inner shirt, got on the bed, lifted the silk quilt and pulled him in his arms. Then he smiled wickedly, in the low voice, he murmured, "What will it take for you to belong fully to me? I can't wait, you're right in front of me, but you don't belong to anyone. MingEr, if you provoke me again, I can't promise I would let go of you like before and wrong myself to hold those concubines."
"When did I provoke you?" He questioned innocently.
Qi Xutian caressed his cheek. "You're always like this, you seduce people without knowing it. You treat people like that, it really makes me want to punish you."
"Father must know that hard-won fruits will be sweet. I am here for your sake. In case Father feels that being with me is like chewing wax[1] and can't compare with the concubines of the harem, won't you be disappointed? Then I would also be left behind, alas, it's really unthinkable." Unlike the worry in his words, the smile on his lips and the cunningness in his eyes made Qi Xutian bite and swallow his lips at once.
[1] Bland and boring, much like how chewing wax would feel like.
His lips were tugged and sucked until there was a trace of blood, only then did he let go of him. He looked at the tiny wound on Qi Mingyue's soft lips, he felt satisfied upon seeing the red blood, "This is punishment. How can you compare yourself to a harem concubine? I have long said that I'm not greedy for your body, I want your whole person! You have already understood this and yet you still say this sort of thing now! If you do so again, you'll see how well I treat you!"
Seeing his deep look with eyes full of wanton charm, Qi Mingyue stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked the wound on his lips. With a hint of ambiguousness, he laughed, "Father Emperor has pampered me and protected me over the years. With you treating me like this, I understand that Father wants me but also abides by the promise of that year. I know of your difficulties..." As he spoke, the will quilt covering Qi Xutian's waist slowly slid down.
Qi Xutian saw him stick out his pink tongue and lightly lick the wound, his eyes darkened in fascination and the heated desire that was relieved not long ago was reignited.
He listened to Qi Mingyue's words as his voice gradually softened with ambiguousness, a pair of small hands slid downwards to grip his burning member through the layer of cloth. Ever so slowly, the hand began to move and tease, building up the pleasure with each delectable motion along the twitching length. Qi Xutian couldn't help but let out a low-pitched groan, "...If you don't stop... I will not be able to keep my promise..."
Seeing the fire in his eyes, Qi Mingyue smiled with satisfaction, "Since you want all of me, be content and bear it first to prove how much you want me. Of course, you can hold me down, do me, and I will naturally not resist. But, after all, you will only get my body, won't that be a pity? Isn't that right, Father?" He said whispered into Qi Xutian's ear while continuing to move his hand, pleasing the burning desire with his hand.
Qi Xutian also began moving around him, his eagle-like eyes were not weak. With a smile full of evil charm, he reached between Mingyue's legs, grasped the member and unkindly started stroking, sending waves of pleasure up into the young boy's mind, "You fired me up, see what you did? Although I don't want to hurt you, you are so charming. I'm afraid I can’t help it..."
Qi Mingyue tried to control the tremors of pleasure caused because of his Father's hands. Although he was familiar with sexual affairs in bed from before, he was still a young teenager. His body was very inexperienced and couldn't bear the teasing. He hurriedly controlled his Father's hands which had been on his sensitive length, and said, "Father can rest assured. I will help you keep your promise."
