FENG LIQIN'S POV
Arriving at the palace was nerve-wracking for me. How could I not when the Emperor himself was waiting for my arrival? I started to sweat and bit my lip harder once the carriage stops a few feet in front of the Emperor.
Oh my God, what should I do!? Why us the Emperor waiting for my arrival outside!? He is supposed to be waiting for me inside in his study or room!!
I thought and cried internally. Xiaoli slapped my face with her paw without withdrawing her claws. She glared at me. With just that look I know that she meant that should calm down. I breathed in and out to calm my erratic heart.
When the door opened, Xiaoli immediately went out of the carriage. The person that opened the door shocked me to the core. Many questions ran through my head at the moment when I stared at the powerful man in front of me. The main question was why would the Emperor came to open the door for me rather than let his servants do it?
With an amused gaze, he held his hand out for me. I hesitantly took it and once my hand was in his grasp, he held onto it tightly. As I got out of the carriage with a slightly red face and my hand holding the Emperors, I could sense everyone's gaze upon me. It made me want to hide my face since I never liked a lot of attention on me. I tried to pull my hand away from the Emperors grasp but he only held it tighter than before.
He took me into the Imperial Court and stood in front of me after letting my hand go. Xiaoli sat outside the Imperial Court, waiting for me to finish. Then, the process of making me officially the Imperial Consort began.
Nearly an hour later, I was escorted to my new room again, by the Emperor himself. Looked at Xiaoli for an explanation on his actions towards me but, Xiaoli only gave me a disinterested look. Once we arrived at my room that was beautifully decorated, the Emperor asked everyone to leave. As for Xiaoli, he took her to a separate room just for her. Then, there was only the Emperor and me. I stood still, not knowing what to do nor say in front of him.
Suddenly, he walked closer and smirked. "Now that we're alone, I can finally speak with you without any interruptions from anyone." He said to me. I looked up into his eyes and was captured by his golden eyes that kept staring at me. Just like that, I was caught within his grasp. Our faces were so close that I could feel the air he exhaled towards my face. I wanted to pull away with how close we've gotten but I just couldn't.
Then, our lips touched and sparks flew. It was an innocent and light kiss that made me close my eyes. Soon, it shifted with the Emperor pressing his lips further on my mouth and licking my bottom lip. I moaned at the action and with that opportunity, he inserted his tongue inside my mouth. I moaned and gasped even louder as the kiss became intense and there was a sliver of lust combined. I held onto the Emperor's robes as I felt my knees go weak. The Emperor held onto me by holding my waist tightly and used his other hand to cup the side of my face. I could feel my face heating up at every second the kiss lasted. I wanted it to last longer with how good it felt and at the same time, I want it to stop as I was losing my breath.
Both of us finally pulled away. As I open my eyes, I saw both warmth and lust within the Emperor's golden eyes. I breathed hard with how much air I was lacking after the intense kiss that we just shared. When I saw the Emperor smirking at me and his eyes that held humor within them, I was brought back to reality and pushed him away but it was if no use as he held me tightly around my waist. I knew I couldn't run away after what happened and looked at him shyly with a very red face.
"My, my, my, what a perfect color on that beautiful face of yours. If you like to know my favorite color is red and seeing how good it looks on your face right now, " he said and leaned down to whisper in my ears. "I can almost imagine what your body would look like being colored in red on the night I take you as mine."
My face became redder than it should be and I looked away from the Emperor, feeling really embarrassed. Unfortunately, he took hold of my chin and pulled me to look towards him. We stared into each other's eyes again and he spoke.
"Feng Liqin, I'm sure you know why I want you to become the Imperial Consort. It's not because of Shun Rong. That was part of the reason. The other part of the reason is that the patterns of our roots are the same. I'm sure I can make you fall for me but I hope you have enough patience to wait for me to fall for you. I don't want our relationship to be filled with nothing knowing that there is a connection between us. Also, you don't have to worry about me taking you. I'll wait until you are ready. I actually wanted to make you Empress but, I need time to convince those hard headed ministers."
After listening to the Emperor's explanation did I understand his actions towards me. But, kissing me like that was too much wasn't it!?
"Your Highness, I-
" Don't call me that when we're alone. Call me by my name." He cut me off. My face turned red again and I shyly tried to say his name.
"H-hu-huang Lo-longwei."
"See, that wasn't so hard now was it?" He smiled at me. I could feel my heart thumping loudly. "But," he started whispering in my ear again and the words that came out of his mouth made me want to bury myself six feet under. "It would sound so pleasantly if you were to moan and scream my name as I take you in bed. That is something that I can assure."
I wanted to hit him badly for his shamelessness. Unfortunately, before I could say or do anything to him, he had to leave to take care of some business. Before he left, he took me in his arms and kissed my forehead. I was dumbstruck and was only brought back to reality when Xiaoli spoke up.
"Well? How did it go?"
I looked around the room to see that he left. Then, I looked down at Xiaoli and just blushed when I recalled back what happened in the room just now.
"From your face, I can guess that it went too well." With that, she left.
I sat on the bed and thought ack what happened again. I could not believe that something like that could happen to me. When I felt cheeks heated up, I tap my face with both of my hands and shook my head.
Stop. Stop! STOP! You should not think about what happened. Maybe he was just teasing you.
I sigh and lay down. I tried to forget about it for now and went to sleep. Hopefully, tomorrow would be a good day for me.
