Chapter 1941: The Task of Attending to His Majesty for the Night
In the Palace of Flourishing Happiness, Selected Lady Zhou lay on the spacious dragon bed, eyes wide open as she looked at the intricate patterns at the top of the bed.
Zhou Ningning inwardly sighed in relief. The task of attending to His Majesty for the night was finally accomplished.
What the heck? Just attending to His Majesty for the night wouldn’t count, she even had to sleep for an entire night on the dragon bed?
Zhou Ningning still had a basic knowledge of the era. After concubines finished attending to His Majesty, they would be carried back.
After tumbling around with the emperor for half the night, Zhou Ningning pretended to be too tired to head back. Actually, there was no need to pretend, she really was exhausted. Zhou Ningning snuggled against the hollow of Zhao Xu’s neck and immediately fell asleep.
It seemed that the emperor had been satisfied with her service as he unexpectedly allowed her to sleep on the dragon bed.
Lady Zhou originally wanted to get up, but since she didn’t have a single piece of clothing on her, she had no choice but to lie back down.
“Congratulations on completing the task of attending to His Majesty for the night. You have received breath of orchid.” The voice of the favored concubine system echoed in Zhou Ningning’s mind.
Lady Zhou was delighted. She got another skill!
Lady Zhou placed her hand in front of her mouth and exhaled, then took a sniff. Her breath was very pleasant to smell. It was a mild, very elegant fragrance, like an orchid hidden in a deep valley.
She had previously gotten skin like silk which allowed her skin to instantly become a few shades lighter and all of the blemishes on her skin disappeared. That was why the emperor had fondled her body so admiringly. And now, she received breath of orchid. It was practically doubling her power.
Suddenly, Lady Zhou heard the sound of the door opening. She immediately closed her eyes and felt someone approach the bed.
“Still pretending to sleep? We can see your eyes moving.” A low, deep, magnetic voice sounded.
Lady Zhou slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhao Xu, dressed in the dragon robe with the imperial crown on his head.
Zhao Xu had features like carved jade and a majestic aura. The imperial family didn’t have much ugliness.
When Lady Zhou saw Zhao Xu, she sighed in her heart. The emperor was countless times better compared to those companies’ obese bosses with bulging stomachs. It wasn’t a loss even if they slept together.
“You’re staring.” Zhao Xu raised his handsome eyebrows and looked through the beaded curtain at the woman in the bed. “Who gave you the courage to look at the face of the emperor?”
“Your Majesty.” Lady Zhou promptly sat up and the blanket on her chest slipped down, exposing her plump, kissmark-covered chest. Her chest bounced slightly from this movement, and the traces of red and purple on that snowy skin made Zhao Xu’s gaze deepen.
Upon sensing Zhao Xu’s burning gaze, Lady Zhou was startled and hurriedly pulled the blanket up to cover her chest.
Zhao Xu sat down by the bed, his tone teasing. “Haven’t we already shared it all last night?”
“Your Majesty…” Lady Zhou lowered her head. Her hair fell, revealing her beautiful swan neck that was slender and as white as jade. Against hair that was as black as ink, the skin was as white as snow.
Zhao Xu extended a hand to touch Lady Zhou’s shoulder. His thumb moved slightly, rubbing against Lady Zhou’s smooth, tender skin.
Lady Zhou raised her head to look at Zhao Xu a bit pitifully. “Your Majesty, this subject’s body is very sore.”
The corner of Zhao Xu’s mouth hooked up. “Where does it hurt? Let us see.”
“Your Majesty.” Lady Zhou tightly hugged the blanket to cover her front, but it ended up revealing her collarbone and arms which was even sexier.
“Issuing a new task: leave the Cold Palace. Have the emperor arrange a palace for you, Host.” The favored concubine system in Lady Zhou’s head said, “Task reward: eyes like autumn waters, gaze full of tender feelings skill. “
