The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 3 Are You Afraid of Me?
Around the red candle, behind the thin curtain, inside this luxurious Zhaolie Palace, there was no one but him. He, Qin Ruojiu, who was tightly wrapped in red silk, was currently lying on the emperor's bed that was laid out in golden and red. She was waiting for the arrival of her husband, the noble of Kangqing Country, Emperor Zhaolie, Kangyong.
After tonight, will she become empress? Should he be happy? But as soon as he remembered his father's words before he left, he felt a little sad, unsettled. Before leaving, his father said that he should not open this black veil, no matter what.
Who is he really? What about his destiny? Why can't anyone predict himself? How long should he wear this veil?
The smell of sandalwood came out of the star-shaped iron furnace, the smoke soared like his mind was in a mess.
So it was thought that the father who had loved him for 18 years turned out not to be his real father, his heart ached like a needle, his pain spread throughout his body. His tears could not be dammed anymore, his tears dripping through the black veil.
He said to himself, "Qin Ruojiu, don't cry. In the future, you will become empress, first lady Kangqing, you must not be weak! Yes, even if Ji Mei is not your real father, but she will still love you like before."
Time slowly passed.
The night is getting darker.....
Outside the window, the night wind blew, the candle flame was almost extinguished.
Qin Ruojiu's heart was very tense, the body wrapped in silk did not dare to move. The clenched palm was already wet from sweat.
Sadness changes with fear and worry. Right now, her husband, Kang Yong, should have come.
He closed his eyes to endure the tension and fear. He tried to tell himself that this was no big deal.
But as soon as he thought he would be innocent without even a single piece of cloth covering his body, his heartbeat grew even tighter.
"Why? What are you afraid of?" suddenly there was a heavy, hoarse and authoritative voice echoing beside his ears.
The startled Qin Ruojiu immediately opened his eyes, then looked towards the person.
Not knowing since when, in front of the bed stood a gallant man who wore the golden-yellow robes of Emperor Yang and a belt made of red silk, his feet wearing golden-yellow shoes.
The man had a handsome face, his handsome face was meticulously sculpted. The two eyeballs were black like sparkling stars, their noses pointed, their thin, red lips. Both of his hands were placed on his back, while staring at the woman lying on the bed, his entire body spreading perfection and dignity.
"You.....you... ready?" Although he already knew, but even the surprised Qin Ruojiu asked that question innocently.
The man retracted his gaze back, then said calmly, "According to you, in the middle of the night like this, other than me, who would dare to enter Zhaoliu Palace?
" Your Majesty....."Said Qin Ruojiu with fear and respect. Is this her husband? The Emperor of the Kangqing Country? The aura he spread made people feel cold.
Suddenly, the man leaned against the bed. Her cold smile and handsome face were like she was insinuating. His palm began to stroke Qin Ruojiu's face covered with a veil.
