TTDYM - Chapter 303
Chapter 303: Sitting in One's Lap Without Being Aroused
One day, the sun was perfect, and a gentle breeze was blowing. It was delightful.
Sun Jiaojiao was suddenly in high spirits. She dragged her maids to the back garden to fly a kite. The garden was filled with the sweet laughter of young women.
Suddenly, the kite string snapped, and the kite got stuck in a tree. The maids shrieked, scattering in a panic to find someone to help get it down. Sun Jiaojiao looked up at the branch, which was only about four meters high, and calmly lifted her skirt and started to climb. It's just a short, crooked tree. Why do I need help?
In just a few moves, she had skillfully climbed the tree.
But, as luck would have it, the moment she reached for the kite, a gust of wind blew past. The kite, as if playing a joke on her, fluttered just a little higher, just out of her reach.
Sun Jiaojiao, who could summon the wind and rain in the palace, who had the entire harem watching her every expression, was now being given a hard time by a tiny kite. She was not about to accept this. She was determined to "arrest" this disobedient kite!
The guards, who had been summoned by the maids, had already run over. They watched as Sun Jiaojiao's skirt hiked up to her upper thighs, her pale, smooth legs gleaming in the sun. Each of them couldn't help but swallow.
Sun Jiaojiao was focused on hooking the naughty kite. She wasn't paying attention to her footing. She suddenly lost her balance. The small branch snapped, and Sun Jiaojiao, kite and all, fell like a rocket...
Four meters high. Not that high, but not that low, either.
The moment she started to fall, Sun Jiaojiao's only thought was, "It's over! My face is ruined!"
But in that split second, just as Sun Jiaojiao closed her eyes, she fell into a warm embrace. She tumbled, and landed, completely unharmed.
Sun Jiaojiao opened her eyes and saw Xiao Qi's emotionless face.
"You?" Sun Jiaojiao was astonished. Didn't Xiao Qi always despise her? He was always standing at the gate with a sour face, no different from the stone lions. She never would have imagined he would save her.
"Empress, please be careful. If you were to fall in this residence, and the Emperor were to blame us... all the servants in this entire residence wouldn't have enough heads to be chopped off," Xiao Qi said coldly, in his usual style.
"I had no idea you cared so much about other people's heads." Sun Jiaojiao lingered in his arms, feeling the wave of masculine energy coming off him. She couldn't help but tease him. "In your eyes, is the Emperor that kind of tyrant? Just casually chopping off the heads of an entire residence?"
Of all the men in the world, she refused to believe that any of them could truly sit in her lap without being aroused.
If there was such a man, he must be impotent!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi calmly replied, "Empress, please do not forget. My family... our entire residence had their heads chopped off."
His words almost choked Sun Jiaojiao to death.
Before Sun Jiaojiao could find a comeback, Xiao Qi continued, "A human cushion may be soft, but there must be propriety between men and women. This is improper. I hope the Empress will conduct herself with more dignity."
Bah!
Sun Jiaojiao was angry now. Who wanted to sit on his "human cushion"?
If she gave the order, there would be a line of men willing to be her cushion. Her sitting on him was his privilege, and he had the nerve to be picky about it...
Sun Jiaojiao's face turned dark. She got up from him. "Go back to what you were doing. You're a courtyard guard. What are you doing running to the inner courtyard? Were you, perhaps, coveting the women of the inner courtyard, and that's why you ran over so eagerly?"
Who couldn't shift blame? Hmph! When it came to shifting blame, Sun Jiaojiao had never lost.
Sure enough, Xiao Qi's face turned dark, too. He looked awful.
Anyone with eyes could see that the Empress and this tactless guard, Xiao Qi, had now well and truly clashed. Everyone broke into a cold sweat on Xiao Qi's behalf.
