Chapter Five: To Bear Children for Your Majesty
Bihan gently bit her lip, not daring to look at me, and shyly nodded her head
To speak frankly, I already have someone in mind. I said indifferently, I will wait for him to marry me
Moments later, Sima Zhong inevitably closed his eyes, his mind becoming hazy.
As long as you are willing, you need not serve me any longer; I will assign two palace maids to attend to you. If you give birth to a dragon seed, the child will be temporarily raised by me, and I will ensure that Your Majesty grants you the title of Noble Consort, second only to me. If the child is granted the title of Crown Prince, when he turns eighteen, I will inform him that you are his biological mother. After Your Majesty's century, you and I will both be Empress Dowagers. I appeal to her with the promise of benefits, striving to move her, saying, 'I, Yang Xianrong, give my word of honor, and I will never go back on it.' After Your Majesty's century, you and I will both be Empress Dowagers. I appeal to her with the promise of benefits, striving to move her, saying, 'I, Yang Xianrong, give my word of honor, and I will never go back on it.'
He drank it all in one gulp, and I took the empty wine cup. Bihan helped him onto the couch, lowered the phoenix curtain and the blue canopy, and extinguished the palace lanterns
He nodded vigorously, gazing at me with an unwavering smile
"Why is the queen unwilling to serve Your Majesty?" Bi Han asked in astonishment
When he is not smiling and does not show any foolishness, his deep black eyes seem to become even deeper, exuding an indescribable and unfathomable depth
While pinching his arm, I observed him closely. Upon careful inspection, I realized that this pitiable emperor had a face that was not unattractive; one could even say that it was quite handsome, with well-defined features and deep black eyes
I quietly got out of bed and led Bihan to the window, "Bihan, I will ask you once more, are you truly willing?"
She widened her eyes in astonishment, unable to believe what I was saying, "This ... ..."
He raised his wine glass, leaned in to smell it, and said, "It smells wonderful, Sister Rong, what kind of wine is this?"
In that cup of green plum wine, a type of drug was added that could cloud one's mind, causing Sima Zhong to be unable to distinguish between myself and Bihan
Your Majesty, please have a drink to warm yourself. I had Bi Han bring two cups of wine.
"Good!" Sima Zhong clapped his hands and said, "I want to drink wine with Sister Rong."
Bihan poured two cups of wine, and I helped Sima Zhong loosen his clothing. Suddenly, I caught a faint fragrance emanating from him, a scent that was elegant and pleasant.
"Giving birth and raising children?" Sima Zhong frowned, seemingly not understanding the meaning. After pondering for a while, he suddenly realized, "Oh, oh, oh, I understand now. Sister Rong, shall we have a princess as beautiful as you?"
What was even more unexpected was that the body, wrapped within layers of garments, had no excess flesh and was not overweight at all
Reluctantly, I nodded and then said to Sun Xiu, "I am not accustomed to the service of palace maids, so I kindly ask Lord Sun to summon Bi Han to come in."
I sat on the edge of the bed and softly said: "May I knead your arms for Your Majesty?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Sun Xiu said with a meaningful smile. "Your Majesty remembers sharing a bed with this beautiful Sister Rong. She is so lovely that Your Majesty could have her bear children for you."
Sima Zhong leaned out of the tent and urged, "Sister Rong, hurry up!"
In that case, I will let go and allow her to perform the rites of Duke Zhou on my behalf with Sima Zhong
Standing in the corner of the sleeping chamber, I gazed at the bed shrouded in the phoenix curtains and blue canopy. In the dimness, I could faintly see Bi Han removing Sima Zhong's inner garment, as well as her own clothes, fittingly lying on top of him
It is late at night, Your Majesty and the Empress should retire to rest. Sun Xiu pretentiously performed a bow and then instructed the eunuchs and palace maids, "Attend to His Majesty and the Empress as they retire to rest"
I laughed and said, "This is aged green plum wine, Your Majesty, do try it."
Wow..." Sima Zhong exaggeratedly yawned, "I am tired, you may leave now.
Why did he suddenly call me "Sister Rong"
Sima Zhong saw me, hopped over to me, and said with a smile: "Sister Rong, you are so beautiful, I have seen Sister Rong again."
I offered a slight bow, "Your Majesty"
Sun Xiu signaled to the palace maid to summon Bi Han, and then he and Yang Xuanzhi took their leave
He held my hand, smiling foolishly, eagerly awaiting my response
This morning, I asked Bihan: "Bihan, if you were to serve His Majesty on my behalf, would you be willing to do so?"
