Chapter 205: The emperor called Qiao Shijun to sleep
The palace servants who were still respectful to Qiao Yun changed their attitude towards Qiao Yun after they learned that Qiao Yun did not go to bed.
It was rumored everywhere in the palace that Qiao Shijun was not favored. Although he lived in Qianqing Palace, he was just a slave.
Ah Xi came in angrily with tea, Qiao Yun put down the book in his hand, looked at him and said, "What's the matter? Wasn't it fine when you went out?"
During this period of time, Ah Xi was extremely majestic. She followed Su Chang'an every day, and she seemed to be the second in command of the Qianqing Palace. She grinned happily every day, what happened today?
Ah Xi secretly glanced at her master, bit her lip and said nothing, but those words were held in his heart, but they made him feel very uncomfortable.
"What's the matter? Could it be that someone wronged you, even I can't tell?"
Ah Xi's eyes turned red, and she pursed her mouth and said, "It's fine if they bully the slave, but... but they shouldn't slander the young master like that behind his back..."
Those people's mouths are really vicious, how could they say such ugly words?
Qiao Yun only stays in Qianqing Palace and does not go out on weekdays, but he doesn't know that he has already become a celebrity in the harem.
"What did they say about me?"
Qiao Yun has long been used to the days of being bullied, and it's fine to listen to what others say.
"They... they... slaves can't say it."
Ah Xi's little face flushed from holding back, and she tried several times but couldn't get those words out of her mouth.
"Is there anything between you and me that can't be said?"
Qiao Yun took Ah Xi's hand and stared at him with a smile on his face.
Ah Xi was furiously stared at by Qiao Yun, so she groaned and said: "They said that you...can't do it, so you have lived in Qianqing Palace for more than ten days and still haven't slept."
Saying that a man can't do it is the greatest insult to him.
Regardless of how indifferent Qiao Yun was usually, this time he couldn't help but turn pale.
On weekdays, the emperor would have meals with him after he came down from court, and she would take him with her when she went to the imperial study to review the memorials, allowing him to read in it.
Speaking of which, Qiao Yun is very satisfied with his current life.
But he didn't understand, since the emperor recognized his identity, why did he refuse to sleep with him?
Now all the people in the palace use these words to arrange him, which makes Qiao Yun feel very uncomfortable.
Qiao Yun felt uncomfortable when others talked about him like this, but what was even more uncomfortable was that the emperor treated him indifferently.
If she liked him, why did she refuse to ask him so long?
If she didn't like him, why did she treat him so well?
Does she also dislike him for being lowly and not worthy of her?
"Shijun, these words are all nonsense, don't take it to heart, the emperor loves you so much, sooner or later he will ask you to sleep in bed."
Ah Xi regretted it so much, she shouldn't have mentioned this matter in front of the young master, how could the young master accept it.
Qiao Yun gave a wry smile, lowered his eyes and said: "They are right, I just can't do it, otherwise I wouldn't have lived in Qianqing Palace for so long, and I didn't get the emperor's favor, and became the laughing stock of the whole palace."
The long eyelashes covered the sadness in his eyes, Qiao Yun didn't know what was wrong with him, he never suffered any grievances before, how can he be so lost because of someone else's words now?
Qiao Yun knew that the time spent with Nan Jun had changed his mind.
For the men in the harem, the emperor's love is the greatest guarantee for him. Even the elegant gentleman has not yet slept, so how can he be the turn of the mere prime minister's concubine?
Ah Xi only cared about comforting the frustrated Qiao Yun, but she didn't notice the yellow color outside the door that disappeared in just a flash.
It didn't take long for everyone in the palace to know that the emperor turned over Qiao Shijun's sign at night, and that the concubine of the Prime Minister's mansion who had been laughed at by them for a long time was really going to sleep in bed.
"This old slave congratulates Qiao Shijun. These two father-in-laws are in charge of teaching etiquette, so let them wait on Qiao Shijun today!"
According to the palace rules, Su Changan brought the two father-in-laws to the side hall to teach Qiao Yun how to serve the emperor.
The news came so suddenly that Qiao Yun couldn't accept it for a while.
It wasn't until he was stripped naked and helped into the pool filled with hot water that he finally woke up.
Your Majesty, what does this mean?
Could it be that she had also heard those gossips, and in order to express her apology to him, she made a decree to call him to bed?
"When serving the emperor, remember not to cry loudly. If you disturb the emperor's interest, you will be punished."
A father-in-law said to Qiao Yun with a straight face.
Qiao Yun's cheeks were slightly red, and she nodded obediently, she was so ashamed that she wanted to hide in a crack in the wall.
"Without the emperor's permission, you are not allowed to be discouraged. Can you write it down?"
…
Every time the father-in-law said something, Qiao Yun's face would burn a little. It wasn't until he was fished out of the water that his red eyes gradually became clear.
It turns out that the husband and wife mentioned in the book have to drink the quilt wine and perform the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou before they can be considered as one.
When Qiao Yun, who was only wrapped in tulle, was sent in, Nan Jun was lying on the bedside reading a book, with one hand resting behind his head and the other holding a scroll. Under the candlelight, his dark-haired and handsome face made Qiao Yun's face unstoppable. I was dumbfounded.
Nan Jun moved away the scroll in his hand, and looked at the man standing on the blanket with bare feet, with a smile on his face, full of pampering.
Throwing the book casually on the low table, Nan Jun waved his sleeves, and one of the ups and downs had already landed on the large phoenix bed with Qiao Yun in his arms.
Qiao Yun pinched his sleeves with both hands helplessly, and looked at the woman who was hugging him with a blushing face.
He has a cold personality, and he doesn't like to be too close to people since he was a child. Since he became sensible, even his father has never hugged him like this.
"Yun'er..."
Nan Jun spoke suddenly, holding the person in her arms at this moment, her heart was complete.
In order to get acquainted with this dynasty as soon as possible, and to be able to protect him, Nan Jun has been reluctant to get close to him.
It's just that she accidentally heard him being slandered like that today, Nan Jun really can't let people hurt him anymore, if he is not ready, then she just hugs him, it's better than making him a laughing stock of others.
"Emperor... Your Majesty."
Qiao Yun was so nervous that she couldn't even speak. She was so close to him, so close that he could smell the elegant lotus fragrance on her body.
"Don't be afraid, I won't force you, we will come again when you are ready."
Nan Jun raised his finger, and the candles in the hall were instantly extinguished, only Qiao Yun's slightly nervous panting was left in the dark bedroom.
The person beside him only held his waist, lightly touched his cheek with the other hand, and then did not move again.
Qiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of unspeakable loss flashed in his heart.
Did she not touch him because she was a gentleman, or because she didn't like him at all?
