"My Beloved Teacher's Wife (Walking with Love)" - Chapter 187: Consort Xiangjun ②

"Since you know who I am, why don't you pay your respects to me?"
Consort Xiangjun looked at Ling Feng with an arrogant air, befitting the majesty of a consort.
Ling Feng had the correct answer in his heart, so he immediately pretended to be stupid, his face changing rapidly. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I thought it was some unfamiliar concubine playing the zither here. I wanted to go up and flirt with her, but I never expected it to be Your Majesty here. I was confused for a moment, please forgive me, Mother."
He really did look quite convincing; it was impossible to tell if he was faking it or being genuine.
Actually, Ling Feng said that purely out of a gambling mentality.
The doubt in Consort Xiangjun's eyes subsided slightly, but she became even more confused. She frowned slightly and said, "Hmph, you certainly dare to speak like that. Our Great Ming Dynasty has never had an emperor as debauched as you. It's simply a disgrace..."
"Your Highness has wronged me."
Ling Feng immediately feigned panic, interrupting Consort Xiangjun, and said innocently, "Your subject has not done anything against the conscience of heaven and earth, much less forced any famous women. How can the Consort Xiangjun determine that your subject is a licentious ruler? I am truly wronged!"
"Hmph, stop pretending. Don't think I don't know you're not the real Zhu Wenchong; you're an imposter emperor. Xiangxuan locked me up in the palace simply to prevent me from revealing this secret! I understand that no matter your identity, you are now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty—that's an indisputable fact. But how can you mingle with the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubines? Is this how you set an example for the world? Even if you're an imposter, you are still the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
Consort Xiangjun didn't reprimand her harshly. Instead, she sat down quietly and said calmly, "An emperor should act like an emperor. How dare you act so recklessly! What will the world think of you?"
"Thank you for your advice, Your Highness. I understand."
Ling Feng stood up and stood to the side, carefully observing Consort Xiangjun. She was only about twenty years old, with an oval face and long, flowing hair, making her extremely beautiful.
Ling Feng gazed at the glimpse of her fair neck, so delicate and alluring. He couldn't help but swallow, longing to kiss her.
"I know that nothing I say will change your mind, but I still hope that you can think of the future of the Ming Dynasty..."
"It was a soft, quiet voice from Consort Xiangjun," she said.
Ling Feng said proudly, "Your Highness, everything I have done so far has been for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and its people. I may act recklessly within the palace, but that is merely my family matter and not everyone's concern. I do not lie, but I dare to say that in the more than one hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, which emperor has been comparable to me?"
Consort Xiangjun said excitedly, "But, what you have done in the palace, is it worthy of our ancestors?"
Ling Feng said, "Of course I have lived up to the expectations of my ancestors, and I have even brought glory to them. The ancestors you mentioned, Your Highness, are the ancestors of the Zhu family, not mine. But I have lived up to the expectations of the people and the Ming Dynasty. Isn't that enough?"
Consort Xiangjun said, "That's just sophistry!"
Ling Feng said, “You can say that. Those who don’t recognize me will refute me based on bloodline. But I am still me. Since I was able to sit on the dragon throne and become the true Son of Heaven, it proves that everything was ordained by Heaven. Your unwillingness to acknowledge me as the Emperor of the Great Ming is going against Heaven. The people of the Great Ming enjoy a happy and peaceful life, and the world is at peace. Isn’t that enough? The people don’t care who is the emperor. All they want is a happy and peaceful life, for everyone to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a place to live. And now, I have done better in this regard than any other emperor of the Great Ming. Isn’t that enough?”
"you……"
After hearing Ling Feng's words, Consort Xiangjun was at a loss for words.
"Is this what fate has ordained?"
Consort Xiangjun gently pressed her slender, white fingers onto the strings of the zither and sighed softly.
Ling Feng said, “No, this is all thanks to my own efforts. In fact, within the harem that you perceive as decadent, everyone is happy. Go ask the Empress Dowager, the other imperial concubines, my Empress, my beloved concubines, and even the palace maids—are they happy? Throughout history, there have been thousands, even tens of thousands, of beauties in the harem, and the court was rife with intrigue and power struggles. But look around, has anything like that happened in my harem now? No. Why? Because this is all the result of my efforts. The Empress Dowager is so young, and the imperial concubines are equally young. Should they be happy by remaining widows for the deceased late emperor for the rest of their lives? Why can widows from the common people remarry, but women of the royal family cannot? What wrong have they done by marrying me? If, as you say, I am not the real Zhu Wenchong, and have no blood relation with the Empress Dowager or the imperial concubines, then it is only natural for me to take them as concubines. I can give them happiness, and that is my happiness!”
"This world belongs to you, and the palace is no exception. I cannot judge right from wrong, but I only hope that you will not let your actions affect the entire world!"
Consort Xiangjun said softly, "Before I met you, I always thought you were a tyrant. But seeing the new policies you have promulgated in the palace these past few days, I have realized that you are indeed more suitable for the throne than any of the princes. Now, having witnessed your eloquence, I am truly ashamed of my own inferiority..."
"hehe."
Ling Feng laughed awkwardly, scratching his head, and said, "Your Highness flatters me. But your zither playing was truly beautiful; it kept me awake. I regret not being able to catch up with you today and see your beauty..."
"Your Majesty, since you enjoy listening to it so much, I will play it for you again."
Consort Xiangjun seemed unable to bear Ling Feng's next words and immediately began to change the subject.
"Your subject is all ears."
Ling Feng stood to the side with his hands at his sides, overjoyed, not so much for being able to hear the music.
As the Fragrant Concubine skillfully twirled her hands, a series of crisp, tinkling sounds drifted through the air.
Ling Feng stared at her soft hands, his heart surging with emotion, and he wanted to hold them firmly in his hands and cherish them.
The song ended.
Consort Xiangjun sighed softly and turned to Ling Feng, asking, "Now that you've finished listening to the music, it's my turn to test you."
Ugh. I was so engrossed in admiring Consort Xiangjun's exquisite figure that I almost forgot to listen to the music. Who would have thought that after the music, there would be a test? But now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and nod.
"Tell me the title of this piece, who composed it, and what kind of sentiment it expresses?"
Consort Xiangjun glanced at Ling Feng and said casually.
"Uh... this, which one?"
Ling Feng stammered, unable to explain himself.
"Hmph, ignorant and incompetent."
Consort Xiangjun glared at Ling Feng and said sternly, "Just now you were praising you as a rare good emperor, but now you seem to be nothing but a good-for-nothing!"
"Your Highness, I am indeed completely ignorant of vocal music. Why don't you explain it to me? That way I can remember it and broaden my knowledge."
Ling Feng had an exceptionally thick skin, so naturally he wouldn't blush because of that little bit of reprimand.
"This piece is called Autumn Moon over the Han Palace. It was originally a pipa piece from the Chongming School. Later, various other musical pieces were circulated around it, including the qin piece that I am playing now."
At this point, Consort Xiangjun's eyes revealed a sorrowful look, and she said forlornly, "This piece is mostly played by the poor people in the deep palace who cannot bear the bitter cold, in order to express their sorrow."
Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she was using this musical performance to express her loneliness? It must be! Wouldn't that mean he had an opportunity? Such a young and beautiful empress dowager was truly a waste to keep her in the deep palace. Thinking of this, lustful thoughts suddenly surged within him.
Ling Feng, emboldened, moved closer to her from behind. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder and said softly, "If Your Highness does not mind, I will often stay by your side in the future."
Ling Feng's words had a double meaning!
Even through the thick fox fur cloak, one could feel Consort Xiangjun's delicate shoulders trembling violently. She forced herself to suppress the trembling and said, "I am naturally very pleased that you have such a kind intention. However, everything must be done with the affairs of state in mind. You cannot neglect state affairs just because you are often with me."
Ling Feng was delighted, which meant that she did not reject his touch. He then mustered his courage and slowly moved one hand down, gently blowing into her ear as he said, "Your subject obeys the imperial decree. There is something dirty here, Your Highness. Your subject will remove it for you."
Ling Feng's hand had already touched her breasts through her clothes. She shuddered and leaned back into Ling Feng's arms, breathing softly, "Your Majesty, you can't do this."
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng was immediately certain of his earlier suspicions. It was clear that Consort Xiangjun had deliberately seduced him by playing the zither in the Imperial Garden. She was unwilling to spend her life as a widow in the palace at the age of twenty. What she had witnessed and heard in the palace these past few days had stirred desire within her, but she still harbored some lingering feelings. Therefore, she devised this scheme today to test whether Ling Feng, the imposter emperor, was truly devoted to the people and genuinely loved the three thousand beauties of the palace. Only after receiving the answers she desired would she willingly offer herself to him.
At this moment, Consort Xiangjun had already made her decision. Of course, Ling Feng had already tactfully received her decision, and in doing so, he intensified his efforts to make Consort Xiangjun's idea a reality!
