Lotus Lantern – This flower is elegant and not bewitching, but you are very bewitching. (1)

It was quiet, and except for a few palace lanterns on both sides, nothing could be seen.

Xiao Kezhi went in alone with a cold face. After turning around and closing the door, he crossed a hall in the vestibule and entered the courtyard with the pond.

It was still a cold winter night outside, but the inside was warm as spring because of the underground pipes leading to the hot springs.

The courtyard was still empty, but there were more palace lanterns around, hanging under the eaves, hidden among the rocks and trees, illuminating the courtyard in half-light and half-darkness. Under the pavilion in the southeast corner, the steam in the pond curled up, and the scene was like a fairyland.

The springs here were all running water. Standing in the middle of the courtyard, listening to the burbling and tinkling sound of the flowing spring water coming from between the rocks, Xiao Kezhi couldn’t help raising his eyebrows. Everything here was obviously already arranged, and the arranger was just waiting for him to come in.

But no one in the yard came out to greet him.

He paused for a moment, then took two steps forward. He clearly saw behind the rocks, in the mist, a long guifei couch was placed beside the pond, and a beauty was reclining on the couch.

The beauty was wearing a tulle nightgown with her long hair down, lying with her back to him. The dim light shone on her body, reflecting the pearl-like luster of the tulle and also sketching out a gracefully soft, undulating curve.

It was that woman.

With little thought, he recognized her intuitively and even recalled in his mind the fascinating dimples on her buttocks.

There seems to be a faint aroma in the air, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

He stood there, stroking her back carefully with his eyes, then quietly approached, stopped by the couch, put his hands on her sides, and leaned in slightly to observe her.

She still didn’t move, as if she didn’t wake up, but he didn’t believe that she was really asleep. He just patiently waited for her next move.

The moist mist lingered on her jade-white skin. The original soft luster faded a little and turned into a moist beauty. Even her thick eyelashes were weighed down with a few drops of extremely fine water droplets.

The thin gauze was soaked by the moisture in the air, and it was carefully adhered to her shoulders, chest, and waist, until her slightly bent legs overlapped.

Xiao Kezhi looked at the beautiful woman in the cramped space between his arms, and his eyes darkened little by little.

After enough time, her eyelashes trembled. She slowly opened her eyes and turned her head slightly, just in time to meet his dark and deep eyes.

“Your Majesty…”

Her eyes were moist, glittering and roving under the candlelight, and the naturally rising crimson on her cheeks was even more charming when she woke up from a sound sleep. Seeing all of this, he couldn’t help himself. He lowered his head to suck on her plump lips. The palms on both sides of her also roved up slowly along her slender arms, and finally pressed her wrists down to make her unable to move.

She turned her body into a supine position with extraordinary obedience, and let him kiss her until her already moist eyes became hazier and hazier. He slowly backed away and casually brought a strand of her hair to his nose and lightly sniffed.

“What do you want to do with me today?”

He didn’t mention at all why he was so easily seduced by her, so he followed the boat and pushed everything on her.

Chu Ning blinked, and a sly smile appeared on her lips, “Your Majesty ordered your niece to share your worries.”

She was talking about the words he said when he set off in the daytime, but in a different scene, the meaning became ambiguous.

“Well, how are you going to share my worries?” His hand rubbed her white and slender neck, pinching it from time to time as if he was very satisfied with its softness.

“The pond is full. A’Ning will serve Your Majesty to change clothes and soak in the pond.”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to push him away, then wrapped her two slender arms around him from behind to slowly undo his belt.

He was tall and strong, and she had to put her entire upper body against his back, her head on his shoulders, and gently paw towards his collar and neck with the movements of her hands.

The hot and wet feeling spread down his neck and gradually turned into a crisp, so he couldn’t help turning his head and wanted to kiss her.

But she didn’t let him do so, and when his lips came close, she stepped back and took off his untied robe smoothly.

“Please enter the hot springs, Your Majesty.”

She put his shoes on the edge of the couch, and she stood barefoot on the warm stone steps, leading him little by little into the pond.

Across the layers of mist, he leaned against the rocks and quietly watched her sitting on the stone steps at the other end, lighting up a lotus lantern.

The warm candlelight lit up in the lotus lamp, illuminating her from the bottom up, and it was clear that the water droplets accumulated on her neck slipped into the front of her clothes.
