Emperor's Red Makeup: The Duke is too black

Chapter 23 Concubine Shu, Nan Kexin
"Your Majesty, are you still going to Jinling Palace tonight?" Zhang Run couldn't help but reminded Taba Rui when he closed his eyes and rested his mind, but it was almost time.

"Well, I promised the Empress Dowager to visit Concubine Shu. Since that's the case, of course I'm going, let's go to Jinling Palace." Tarba Rui coughed dryly, and a shadow appeared in the dark, she seemed to be herself. He said to himself: "If I stay in Jinling Palace tonight, Zhang Run, come back and bring me my favorite jade pillow."

"Yes."

The shadow in the dark quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

There is a hot spring in the back garden of Jinling Palace, which was specially built for Concubine Nanshu by Empress Dowager Shengde a year ago in order to win over Nantong.

Screen-like curtains made of light gauze blocked the surroundings of the hot spring, and the palace lanterns illuminated the pearl-like skin of the beauties in the hot spring, as if it had been deliberately carved by the heavens.

The young lady with a low smile seems to be playing in the water, while the pretty maid guarding outside the curtain is earnestly preparing something that the master will use later, everyone has a cautious look on their faces, Because they all know that if they get it wrong, it's over.

Slight footsteps came from the promenade of Jinling Palace, but the woman in the spring thought it was a court lady and eunuch who was working, she didn't care, she just looked at her skin that was more brilliant than pearls and whiter than white clouds, and sighed a little.

No matter how good the face is, no matter how beautiful the body is, if no one appreciates it, it is just a useless skin.

As if to cover up the loss and loneliness in her heart, the woman laughed softly, with a tinge of sternness in her crisp smile, which made the maid who was waiting nearby tremble.

"The Emperor—"

"Hush." ​​Taba Rui tapped his lips, and then said softly, "Zhang Run, stay here and don't allow anyone to come near."

All of a sudden, all the maids and eunuchs slowed down and retreated slowly.

Gently opening the gauze curtain, what comes into view is a white and delicate jade body like ivory, with uneven bumps. The beauty in the hot spring is like a mermaid, swimming in the water with circles of ripples. Rui finally laughed lightly.

Hearing this strange man's laughter, the woman in the spring was startled, but who was she? After a while, she realized, with displeasure and sarcasm in her eyes, was it him?That cowardly and incompetent little emperor.

"Concubine Shu is really in a good mood." Taba Rui didn't care what she was thinking at the moment]

Thinking, she sat by the hot spring by herself, staring at Nan Kexin as if watching a scene.

Nan Ke cursed secretly in her heart, how could this pervert spend all day fooling around with those sluts, how could he have time to come to her Jinling Palace?However, she did not speak, but shifted her gaze to Taba Rui.

Although it is indistinguishable between male and female, I have to admit that the man in front of me has a handsome face that is not inferior to the fourth prince or even the heroic Marquis. The exquisite outline is full of arrogance, and there is something hidden in those deep eyes. But he could see his tenderness at the moment.

"Your Majesty." She said coquettishly, picked up a piece of light gauze from the edge of the pool and draped it on her smooth shoulders, she didn't dare to come up even though she was shy, she just looked at Taba Rui quietly.

The two eyes looked at each other in the hot spring pool filled with light mist, Tarba Rui raised the corner of his mouth, coughed dryly, and said: "Such a beauty, it seems that I really missed it."

She covered herself with a light veil, while he had a gentle expression, and his deep eyes reflected the glow of her heart.

Taba Rui has always known how to conquer a person's heart, and she also knows what a woman like Nan Kexin, who lives in the harem, needs and desires.

She knew even more that at this moment, Nan Kexin had become something in her palm.

"Why don't you tell my concubine when the emperor is here, which makes my concubine so embarrassed." Nan Kexin was precocious since she was a child, and she is also the future queen that her father devoted all her efforts to nurturing. How could she not see that the current emperor is different from the cowardly one before? The incompetent emperor is clearly not the same person as the emperor who has indulged in sensuality in the past two years.

This is a man who makes women have to be tempted.

She admitted that she was obsessed.

With just one look, she was fascinated.

Tatba Rui, who already had other intentions in his heart, pretended to be embarrassed, looked at Nan Kexin's reproachful eyes, and said with a dry smile: "I just want to come and see my concubine, I will leave after watching."

"Your Majesty, you want to leave?" Nan Ke was puzzled, she didn't do anything that disgusted him, why did she want to leave when she came?
"I heard from the Queen Mother that you, Concubine Shu, seem to have misunderstood me. I am thinking that when you understand me, I will stay."

"What's the matter, the concubine doesn't have any." Nan Ke said in a heartbeat, with a moist light in the bottom of his eyes, "The emperor finally came to see the concubine, and he is leaving soon. Go outside, what will the concubine's father think?"

Well, smart, know how to move the prime minister out.

Ta Ba Rui said in astonishment: "My concubine misunderstands me. I don't mean not to love my concubine. I just hope that my concubine can clear up my misunderstanding as soon as possible. We are also husband and wife, so we can't be separated."

"Your Majesty." Nan Kexin was more and more moved.

The queen has always been the only person who can call the emperor husband and wife. Now that the emperor said these words, could it be that he really loves himself?
But he obviously didn't come to Jinling Palace before, even if he went to see him by himself, he still refused to see him on the grounds that he was unwell. Could it be, is it really the Queen Mother's fault?
No, no, the Empress Dowager needs her father's support, and she won't do that.

Then there is only the simplest reason, the emperor is just interested in her beauty!

"Then, can my beloved concubine tell me a word?" Seeing that the prey was about to be captured, Taba Rui's tone became more gentle and charming.

Although compared to Huangfu Yao's fox, his charm is not enough, but it is very useful for a woman like Nan Kexin.

"Your Majesty, tell me!" The shy smile on the beautiful face made Taba Rui, who is also a woman, a little lost. People who want to come to Jinling Palace don't have a chance to see such a soft smile.

"Aifei really, did you misunderstand me?" Taba Rui looked at her firmly.

Nan Kexin was stunned, thought for a moment, and then Yingying said: "If there is a misunderstanding, there was originally, but that's what the queen mother said, and the concubine really doesn't know anything."

"Then Zhen and the Queen Mother, which side will Aifei stand on?"

"The concubines belong to the emperor, so they naturally stand on the emperor's side." Nan Ke felt a little disappointed. Apart from her own beauty, what the emperor really wanted was probably her father's power.

"Aifei is really—" Tarba Rui's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "My baby!"

The corner of the mouth of the person in the dark twitched fiercely because of Ba Rui's baby!
And Nan Kexin in the hot spring had a flowery smile on her face, but when she saw the smile in Taba Rui's eyes, a sense of loneliness flowed through her heart.
