3 Chapter 3

"Don't you greet the Empress? Where are your manners Consort Tang? This is zhen's empress and according to the rules, you shall be punished! Men! Come forth and give consort Tang a hundred slaps! We shall see if she doesn't obey the palace rules again!" The emperor ordered.

'What just happened? Did a white flag just come down like that?' Meiyi wondered, still in daze at how quickly Consort Tang came and go...

"Your majesty! Ah! I know am wrong! Ah!" Consort Tang shouted

Meiyi was feeling more and guiltier as she heard the hard "pak!"

She slowly looked in the emperor's cold eyes and she could feel the room temperature dropping by a few degrees. But as soon as he caught her staring, somehow, she no longer felt cold or pressured.

Meiyi took a deep breath before begging the emperor to forgive Consort Tang."Your majesty is surely kind and humble, such a small mistake, anyone can make when being mesmerized by your gorgeous self. Let this incident slide your majesty, it pains me to hear Tang jiejie(big sister) to shout like so...".

"No, ignoring the empress is a very big offense and am already very forgiving to not behead her." he replied after sipping his tea.

In reality, Meiyi was really enjoying the show and hoped it would continue. But the thought of Consort Tang scheme against her really scared her. Who knew what she was capable of behind that crying face of her.

Meiyi was really desperate at this moment. Her head was filled with Consort Tang poisoning her, Consort Tang murdering her and Consort Tang slicing her into small bits and pieces. She did not like the feeling of dying and even if she wasn't really scared of it, she was not risking her life to reincarnate into a more pitiful girl, for instance a peasant whose parents sold her to a brothel.

"I'll forgive her if you take the initiative to kiss me..." the emperor suddenly proposed.

'Kiss? wtf? Am i dreaming? He asked me to kiss him... umm those lovely lips...' Meiyi thought.

From the beginning, Meiyi was attracted to this cold hearted emperor, but her head was always denying that as she was from a place where everyone was more or less equal. She needed not to fear being beheaded by anyone for a mistake she might commit and not to say about polygamy and the number of women an emperor should have slept with from the day he was born.

She really fear of being rejected in the future for no longer be the delicate beauty that she was and like models who get kick out of the industry for being too old, she might be left aside to die of loneliness.

Meiyi kept her calm and decided to kiss him like he wanted. 'It's just a kiss! Meiyi! You can do it! it's not like he was a frog, it's just kissing someone who has kissed a lot of women.. Come on! It's like indirectly kissing girls...'

'I'll kiss girls and I might like it

The taste of their cherry chap sticks

I'll kiss girls just to save my future. 'Meiyi sang in her head as her lips were getting closer and closer to his.

When Meiyi was about to let go of his lips, the emperor suddenly grabbed her head, pulling her closer to him. He pinched her nose and when her mouth opened up to breath, he took the opportunity to explore her insides. The small peck she gave him turned into an intense French kiss, He slowly moved his lips against hers as his tongue explored her insides. His kisses were somehow gentle but very demanding. Meiyi was soon out of breath, but her heart would explode before it happens.

Her cheeks were red, her lips swollen and she was only thinking about one thing- she wanted more...
