The more you drink it the more you become addicted to it, and you won't stop until the jug is done, knowing so she bought multiple jugs of it.

They drank happily and chatted. Prime Minister Si and Si Long congratulated the Emperor over and over again. They drank until late into the night, until they could barely walk.
When 1st Madam Mei Lin returned back to the dining hall with her daughter Si Ling and a couple of servants. Seeing them so drunk, she decided to call it a night for the men.
" Xiao Po, take your young master to rest." she directed.
" Yes, Madam" Replied Xiao Po, who is the young master Si Long's most trusted aide, held his master up and took him to his bed chamber. Madam Si sighed, thinking, could they say no to the Emperor drinks? Her old husband must think he is still young. She shook her heads and sighed again.
" Steward Gong, come help the Master to bed." Steward Gong had worked for their family for years. He came over the help his master up. Prime Ministers Si still mumbling to pour more wine.

Come help them to their rooms." Seeing her daughter take charge and control, Madam Si was proud to have raised such a filial and good child. She followed Steward Gong to take care of her old husband and rest.
" Where ever the emperor goes, I'll go too. It is my job to take care of the Emperor." Eunch Li insisted on taking care of his Majesty. But as sweet as she could, she looked at Eunch Li with false admiration.
" Eunch Li, do not worry, many Imperial soldiers are here. The mansion is fully guarded. Beside his Majesty is so fortunate to have you serving him. I've watched you serve him all day long you must be tired. A great man like you will need to rest to take care of his Majesty. If you are tried how will his Majesty function without you tomorrow." Hearing these words made Eunch Li proud and honored. he looked at all the people in the mansion, they were all his Majesty's people. He signed in relief, he hadn't had a night of rest since Fu Pei became Emperor.
" Very well, Miss Si Ling. Take good care of the Emperor. I will come early tomorrow to take care of him." Eunuch Li replied.
"Eunuch Li, don't worry, I will take excellent care of The Emperor." Si Ling replied as small smirk burst from Si Ling's lips and disappear just as quickly as it came.
"Zhu Zhu, lead Eunch Li to his room to have a good rest." Si Ling commanded.
" Yes, Miss. This way, please Honorable Enuch Li." Zhu Zhu said. She lead him to the east chambers. Zhu Zhu and Xiao Pi had worked for their Miss for 12 years, they knew how much her Miss loved and adored the Emperor, and how much she wanted to be the Empress. But when the Emperor married Yue Hua and crowned her Empress it broke her heart. When the Empress was not able to get pregnant for a year, she knew she still had a chance. But now the Empress was pregnant she knew she had to move fast to win the Emperor's favor. So when their Miss told them of her plan, Zhu Zhu was hesitant to go along with it, but her Miss's mind was set. Zhu Zhu lead Eunch Li to the big room at the far east of the Mansion where the most of the Si Family's bed chambers reside. While Xiao Pi and her Miss helped the Emperor to the far west of the Mansion. Down the corridor the biggest guest room the Si Family had, with a full bath house inside.
The entered the room and close the door, helping the emperor over to sit on a chair.
" Xiao Pi, light the incense. Make sure no one comes this way. Hurry." Si Ling commanded her quietly. Xiao Pi took out a small pack of incense out of her pocket and lit them in the incense burner. She hurried out the door and shut it right away. The incense that she lit was a custom made aphrodisiac, made just for men. A strong aphrodisiac that works quickly and effectively especially when alcohol is involved.
Inside the bed chamber Si Ling adjust her gown, lowering her purple gown finely embellished with silver and red peonies, exposing her bare shoulders and her the top of her breast that you could see almost see her nipples. she adjust her necklace and fix her hair to the side. The she waited for the aphrodisiac to wake up the Emperor.
After about 15 minutes Fu Pei awoke, still in a slightly drunk state his body burning, raging.
"What is going on with me, I feel so hot." Fu pei whispered, he felt something changing, something wrong with his body. He stood up trying to find his balance, sobbing. Si Ling ran to help him bed for he almost fell over.
"Emperor, how are you feeling? You've had alot to drink. Let this Miss help you." She said in her most sultry voice, pushing her body closer to him as the Fu pei relax his weight on the her. Fu pei still slightly drunk realized who she was.
" I'm doing fine, just a little hot. Thank you, Miss Si Ling, for helping me." Fu pei replied. Small beads of sweat started to form around his neck.
"Come, I will help you to rest." Si Ling replied as she lead him to the bed. Helping the emperor sit down on the bed. After sitting on the bed Fu Pei saw her exposed bare shoulders, her voluminous breast directly in his face. Suddenly his face flushed red and his body still burning his vision starting to clear. Si Ling took her hand and placed on his head.
" Oh my, Emperor you're burning up." Si Ling started thinking to herself did the aphrodisiac not work. The Emperor sat up on the bed. Si Ling walked over to the table across fro the bed to pour the emperor some tea, she took a small pouch of medicine from out of her sleeve and put it in the tea. The medicine should for sure work, the Emperor will bed her tonight. She mixed it quickly and offered it to the Emperor.
" Here, please drink some tea, it'll make you feel better."
"Thank you, Miss Si Ling." Fu pei chugged the tea he was so parched from all the wine he had drunk. Slowly he started feeling a hazy sensation. Si Ling positioned herself in front of the emperor. Fu Pei slowly looked at the sight in front of him. His vision blurring and clearing on and off. Si Ling gave him her most seductive look slowly moving closer to him. Fu Pei began to realize how she looked was beautiful, a sultry beauty by his bedside. Si Ling was now right in front of him. His body burning, and his thoughts began to cloud filling with thoughts for lust. What's going on with me, Fu Pei thought. His body seemed to be moving on pits own. He reach his arm out and pulled Si Ling towards him and kissed her.
"Emperor... Emperor... Emperor, I am a still a virgin lady, we should not do this." Si Ling moaned, as she pretended to pull away.
He pulled her closer wrapping his arms around her waist. This bad, he thought, I should stop. But he couldn't, his lips kiss her again and again. His body had a mind of its own. Stop body, Fu Pei's mind told himself again and again. Slowly his lips kiss her lips his tongue down her throat. His lips maneuvered down her neck kissing it, sucking it. Si Ling moaned as his wet lips touch her neck sucking and kissing she soon had faint pink marks on her neck. She felt his lips move down towards her chest. She moaned with pleasure. Si Ling was a virgin after all she never knew that a man's touch would feel like this. Fu Pei kissed his neck and then her chest as he pulled apart her dress. His hand caressing her breast as his lips sucking so tenderly on her nipples. Si Ling moan in delight and pleasure as she slowly pulled off her gown. Fu Pei mind began to blank. Si Ling moved her hands to pull off his robes, his muscular body, his jewel, he was bare in front of her. he was so handsome, she wanted to take her. She moved to laid on the bed, her voluminous body laid bare naked in front of him.
"I am willing to be your woman, Emperor. Come take me, do with me as you want." Si Ling moaned. Fu Pei move placing himself on top of her. His hand caressed her full breast as he kissed her lip harder. Slowly spreading her thighs as he push his body onto hers. Gently and slowly inserting his jewel in the her virgin flower. Si Ling bit her lip in pain as the Emperor took her.
"Emperor, I love you." She moaned. He thrust his body into hers, Her wet flower being deflowered by none other then the Emperor she loves. She moaned louder in pleasure. Fu Pei kiss her lips and caress her breast as he thrusts her. sucking her tender nipples. Si Ling felt a tingly sensation as her body weakened. Fu Pei took her over and over all night, until the burning feeling began to wear off and he drift off the sleep. Si Ling felt sore but good, she loved this man she was willing to so whatever that she need to get him.
The Next morning the news had spread that the Emperor had took favor with Miss Si Ling. When Fu Pei woke he remembered all that he had done to Si Ling. He thought to himself, this is my wrong I will bare the responsibility of her.
A few day later a royal decree arrived at Si Mansion. Fu Pei had announced that Si Ling is now the Imperial Concubine, be so status less could be given to the only daughter of Prime Minister Si. He had her stay Jade place the southern side of the palace opposite of the Empress. Concubine Si was now 7 weeks pregnant. Praying that the child she will birth will a boy.
-back to present-
At lotus Palace, the Emperor visited everyday since the Princess Kai Shi was born. Princess Kai Shi soon became the apple of his eyes. Kai Shi with her fair skin, any one could tell she would be a beauty. Fu Pei would hold Shi'er in his arm and cuddle her. He loved her so much.
The Empress was happy that Fu Pei loved Shi'er so much and all was well in the palace.
" Concubine Si has arrives." Eunch Li announced. The Empress was about to get up when Concubine Si entered.
" Concubine Si, greets the Emperor, the Empress. Jie, please, don't get up. Just rest." Concubine Si said as she walked over to the Empress's bedside.
" You too, Concubine Si. Please rest well, you are carrying the Emperor's child." The Empress reply with full concern. If Concubine Si can birth a dragon then the Emperor will be happy, she didn't think about the dangers to her position, as long as Fu Pei is happy, she would be too.
Concubine Si chatted with the Empress and said she brought over herbal soup for the Empress for speedy recovery, as they chatted she watch Fu Pei play and cuddle the Princess. She was green with envy. The soup that she gave the Empress, she's been giving for a whole year. Inside the soup was an undetectable posion that will kill the Empress slowly and make her pregnancy dangerous and increase the chance for miscarriages. But fortunately the Empress was healthy and the poison wasn't comsume long enough. The Empress took the soup as a gift from her sister. She loved Concubine Si and hoped only for her wellness. Little did she know about Concubine Si real intent.
