Her slightly milky body scent stimulated his nostrils.
However, she was already at a loss at this time.
There was a warmth in his whispered words, a tenderness that she had not expected to find in this man.
He touched her chin with his cool fingers and slowly lifted her head so that she could look him in the eyes.
Compared to her, the emperor was obviously much taller than her. In her eyes, he was taller than everyone else at this moment.
He gently lifted her up from under his arms and placed her on the jade-smooth boulder beside the Bitan River.
Then he sat on the ground, facing her, with his legs crossed, so that their faces were finally at the same height.
During this time, he sat quietly there, facing the faint moonlight, gazing at her marble face.
She remembered the old palace maid's advice: be shy but not coy, reserved but not affected, emotional but not unrestrained.
She used her small hands to slowly untie the belt of his python robe.
Then it was his turn.
He helped her untie her bun, and her shiny black hair instantly spread out and flowed quietly behind her like a dark river.
He began to undress her.
His fingers were not only nimble but also surprisingly gentle.
He gently took off her silk dress piece by piece. Xu Di sat quietly and motionless, gazing at his captivating eyes in the moonlight.
When her little hill was exposed, she couldn't help herself and subconsciously put her hands up to cover it and turned her eyes away.
"Let go of your hand!" The emperor's words seemed to be frozen.
He gently but firmly removed her hands from her breasts, then lifted her face again so that she looked at him.
He helped her to stand up, pulled her close, and removed the last piece of thin silk dress from her body.
The night wind was cold, as cool as ice water, blowing on her naked skin without any cover, making her shiver and causing goose bumps to appear on her hands and feet.
She was terrified of what would happen next, but she waited for a long time and nothing happened.
His Majesty still sat cross-legged, looking at her intently, enjoying her streamlined body with his eyes.
After a while, he began to caress her like the night breeze.
Very gently at first, then work up a little harder.
She could feel the strength in his arms, but he never hurt her.
He held her hand and stroked her fingers, one by one.
He caressed her cheek, following the curve of her ear, and gently circled her mouth with a finger.
He ran his hands through her hair, combing it with his fingers, then turned her around and massaged her shoulders, running his knuckles down her spine.
It seemed like a long time had passed before he reached out his hand towards the hilltop that was like quicksand blown by the wind.
He played with the area below the hill until a strange sound was heard under the moonlight, and then he used his thumb to rotate around the hilltop formed by the quicksand.
Use your thumb and index finger to gently pinch it, then pull outward, very lightly at first and then gradually with greater force until the peaks rise and fall and the sand dunes are displaced.
Then he stopped and pulled her into his hearth, .
Xu Di blushed and leaned over to do it.
He held up her oval face with his huge hands, and their eyes met, as if they had known each other for a hundred years.
In a private room of the Maling Mountain Palace, Lao Yu enthusiastically accompanied Li Ji to drink several large pots of imperial wine.
Lao Yu's pale cheeks began to turn red.
"Xiaoxian, Lao Yang and I promised you that after tonight, you can rest assured. I think His Majesty is in a good mood right now."
"But don't worry and drink. The emperor will be satisfied with your little daughter. Come, let's toast in advance." Lao Yu picked up another big cup.
Li Ji raised his hand and drank the wine in the glass.
He smiled and said, "Let everything take its course. Anyway, I have done my best. It is getting late, I should go back."
Li Ji stood up and put the sword back into its scabbard. He looked at the brightly lit palace of the emperor and sighed loudly:
"That's all for tonight. I won't wait for Lao Yang anymore. See you later."
Li Ji said goodbye to Lao Yu and rode back on horseback along the imperial road beside the canal.
After returning to Xingyang County, he did not go to Xun Mansion, but went directly to the Women's Music Department of Liu Mansion.
In a bright and warm pavilion, Xu Yuan sat by the window wearing a lotus-colored jacket, waiting for his return.
He shouted excitedly: "I didn't expect this to go so smoothly. There is a knife hanging over our heads, and we have already raised it."
"Is it unbearable, little sister? It is said that Emperor Yang is a perverted love demon."
"Xu Di should be able to adapt to the environment there. His Majesty's villa is just as luxurious as the Eastern Capital."
"Then I feel relieved. Sir, why don't you ask me why I said I had someone in my heart."
Li Ji smiled and said, "You are not my slave, you have your freedom. Your sister can take on this important task for me, I still have to admire your dedication in my heart."
Xu Yuan pondered and said, "Maybe my sister will have a happy ending. However, from the first time I saw you, I regarded you as my sweetheart."
Li Ji was surprised. Xu Yuan in front of him suddenly became generous.
He finally understood why Xu Yuan didn't leave at Wangshan Restaurant and insisted on following him back home.
It's rare to meet such a confidante in such a troubled time!
"Miss, I am also wandering around and have no fixed place to live. The mountain temple is my home, and I haven't been back for a long time."
"Sir, it is meaningless to say all this now. My sister has already repaid you on my behalf. I have nothing to worry about from now on."
"One of my sisters, Li Fei, is only nine years old, and I don't know where she is now."
Xu Yuan seemed to have met someone with the same fate as her.
We are both wanderers in this world, so why should we know each other when we meet?
Li Ji looked carefully at Xu Yuan in front of him, and saw that her two eyebrows were almost connected together, and they were thick and dense.
People with straight eyebrows have upright personalities and speak frankly.
Being bold in speaking and acting, and having a strong will, is conducive to career development.
He is quite loyal in relationships and tends to fall in love early.
No wonder you were able to lock in your life together as soon as we met, it turns out you were born with “straight eyebrows”.
According to Li Ji's analysis of physiognomy, straight eyebrows indicate both wealth and honor. This type of eyebrow shape is usually dull and seems to have been added later.
You can be prosperous in your youth, achieve success in your youth, and your husband and wife can live in harmony and happiness and grow old together.
Is this my life partner?
He still didn't dare to believe it because his identity was very special.
The war has already broken out in the Central Plains, and he has no idea where home is.
Li Ji was in doubt when Xu Yuan suddenly called out softly, "Sir, go to bed early."
She had already lit the incense, and the fragrance filled the air, making Li Ji feel refreshed.
When Xu Yuan was taking off his coat, her hand touched something hard.
"What is this thing? It's slippery and hard, one end is big and the other end is small..."
