Chapter 61: Still Not Being Honest in the Middle of the Night
Li Xuansheng was angry.
This little girl is so brave!
She actually dared to be indifferent to the title that he had painstakingly decided after several days of thinking, and even went to drink with Concubine Zhuang late at night!
Now, he is blaming me for her insomnia at night!
The more Lu Qingqing begged behind him, the more he deliberately turned a deaf ear to her.
He crossed his arms over his chest, closed his eyes tightly, and turned his back to Lu Qingqing, like a lying statue, motionless.
Lu Qingqing looked at his broad back and felt like laughing even more.
I didn't expect that an emperor could be so childish.
Damn arrogant!
Lu Qingqing was still drunk having just been outside in the night breeze and now she was having a conversation with Li Xuansheng on the dragon bed. She felt her mouth was dry and her heat rising.
He became more and more out of control with his words.
"Humph! If the emperor doesn't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I won't ask anymore!"
Li Xuansheng, who was lying beside him, remained motionless.
After a long time, she felt even more thirsty, and her rosy little tongue subconsciously kept licking the corners of her mouth.
She raised her eyes to look at Li Xuansheng's profile. Under the candlelight, his face was angular and his slender eyelashes cast thick shadows, making him look more handsome.
He looks handsome, but has a bad temper!
She guessed that Li Xuansheng had fallen asleep, so she carefully lifted the quilt on her body, sat up from the dragon bed, and was about to get out of bed to pour some tea to quench her thirst.
A smooth and delicate jade foot passed over Li Xuansheng's body and lightly stepped on the rosewood crossbar beside the bed.
She held onto the bracket on one side of the bed curtain and was about to lift her other foot that was on the inside of the bed, but unexpectedly, when she crossed over Li Xuansheng again, suddenly, her slender ankle was firmly grasped by his big hand.
Lu Qingqing screamed "Ouch!" and instantly lost her balance, falling into Li Xuansheng's arms.
"Your Majesty...you...are not asleep yet?"
Lu Qingqing stuttered and was still frightened.
This Li Xuansheng is so weird!
He pretends to be asleep late at night and scares people on purpose. There must be something wrong with him!
Lu Qingqing looks a little funny now.
She sat down on Li Xuansheng's lower abdomen, and clung to his thighs with both hands to keep balance. One foot was on the edge of the bed, and the other foot was held firmly in her big hand and raised in front of his chest.
She forced an awkward smile on her pretty face, trying to defuse the delicate atmosphere that was about to come. She twisted her body to try to adjust her position, but unexpectedly, she couldn't move because her feet were firmly held by Li Xuansheng.
"Where are you going, why are you still not behaving yourself in the middle of the night?" Li Xuansheng said to her coldly without any expression on his face.
"I'm very thirsty and want to pour some tea." Lu Qingqing had no choice but to explain truthfully.
She thought that drinking some tea would be fine. Even if he was angry, he couldn't just deny him water.
Li Xuansheng looked disgusted after hearing this.
"You're not old, but you still have a lot of things to do!"
"Sit still!"
He finally released his big hands that were tightly grasping Lu Qingqing's jade feet, and then held her slender waist again, pushed her gently, and threw her to the inside of the dragon bed.
Afterwards, he stood up and walked towards the square table in the bedroom.
His dragon bed is very big.
Lu Qingqing was thrown to the corner of the bed by him, right on the pillow in the corner, but she didn't feel any pain.
Lu Qingqing muttered to herself, as if she couldn't help but scold him.
"Here, drink!"
The square table was not far from the dragon bed. Li Xuansheng took big steps and got the teacup in just three or four steps.
His body was standing directly in front of Lu Qingqing, and because of the backlight from the candle, his body cast a wide shadow on the dragon bed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Maybe it was because she was too thirsty or because she had not yet sobered up from her drunkenness, but Lu Qingqing held the teacup with her small hands, and instead of lowering her head to sip gently as she usually did, she raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Huh~ So cool~"
She drank so happily that she didn't even bother to pay attention to Li Xuansheng's reaction.
Li Xuansheng, whose face had been stern all night, couldn't help but sneer at this moment.
Most of the anger in his heart disappeared, and he only felt that the girl in front of him became more and more lovely. When she was drunk, she was more free, bold, lawless and lively than usual.
"I didn't even know that there was a hero like you in my harem!"
He naturally placed the teacup that Lu Qingqing handed to him on the small table beside the bed. He didn't even realize that the emperor, who had always been the center of attention, had begun to learn to take care of others.
After Lu Qingqing finished drinking the tea, her throat felt much refreshed.
She yawned several times as she felt sleepy. She curled up into a ball, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and lay on the bed. Her big, bright black eyes stared straight into Li Xuansheng's.
Li Xuansheng felt uneasy when she stared at him.
"Why aren't you asleep yet? Aren't you sleepy? Why are you staring at me?"
Lu Qingqing felt dizzy and she felt like she was melting. She just wanted to stick tightly to Li Xuansheng.
She tightened her arms around Li Xuansheng's arm.
The closer she got to him, the more she felt that his scent was exceptionally pleasant, and she couldn't help but rub her nose against his shoulder gently.
She said sweetly:
"Your Majesty, you haven't finished speaking yet. I'm so sleepy, but I'm thinking about something and I can't fall asleep."
Li Xuansheng looked at the delicate beauty who was like a little animal beside him and suppressed the desire in his body.
He wanted to respect Lu Qingqing's thoughts when she was sober, and was unwilling to get close to her when she was drowsy and drunk.
But if she continues to seduce him like this, he really won't be able to bear it anymore!
Helplessly, Li Xuansheng had to tell her the unfinished half of the sentence.
"I mean, you didn't notice that I was angry."
"Today in Yongning Palace, I bestowed upon you the title of Ming, and you had no reaction at all. But do you not like the title I bestowed upon you?"
"Qingqing, if you don't like this title, you can tell me and I will change it for you later."
"But you thanked me expressionlessly in front of so many people in Yongning Palace. How can I save face like this..."
Li Xuansheng talked on and on, and the more he talked, the more he wanted to pinch the beautiful woman's face beside him to vent his anger.
As soon as his hand hovered in front of Lu Qingqing's face, he could hear her even and gentle breathing.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
Li Xuansheng couldn't help laughing in his heart.
Haha, he was still explaining to her, but she had already fallen asleep.
In the dim candlelight, he looked at Lu Qingqing's beautiful sleeping face, like a lily bud about to bloom. He stared at her quietly, with an inexplicable emotion in his heart, afraid of breaking this peaceful atmosphere, and he was willing to wait quietly like this.
No matter whether she heard it or not, let’s just forget about it.
He pulled the beauty in his arms closer to him.
The two hugged each other and slept sweetly all night.
