Cunning General Si Ning
Chapter 215: Imperial Study To...

Chapter 215: Imperial Study To...

Xiu Zhicheng should be working but he was currently holding Si Ning in the Imperial study, his head resting on his shoulder, his eyes closed while his arms were wrapped around him, His legs just around Si Ning which gave no room for Si Ning to leave his hold.

The position was a little uncomfortable for Si Ning but he couldn’t afford to push the Emperor away, he had no idea of what his punishment would be if he even shift and make Xiu Zhicheng’s head shake but he was glad to have taken a bath and because he lived in the Jasmine palace and being surrounded by Jasmine flowers made a scent of Jasmine stick to him like he was basked in a mild scent of Jasmine perfume.

Instead of Si Ning being concerned about how uncomfortable he was, he let his mind wander to why Xiu Zhicheng was adamant in the morning for him to stay and not attend the court meeting. He was already dressed in his official court uniform only for Xiu Zhicheng to show up so early to his palace just to kiss and convince him to stay because his body might still be sore, Si Ning back was stiff so he needed a massage and which he didnt later get the previous day due to stuffing his face with snacks at the Yang Pavilion and so he found himself nodding agreeing to stay but after receiving Chen An’s report that none of the matter discussed in the courtroom concern him which was odd so he was now worried that they might be a reason Xiu Zhicheng prevented him from attending the court meeting, these raised his suspicion and he knew he had to find out but he wasnt going to if he stays in Xiu Zhicheng’s hold so he accepted staying in Xiu Zhicheng’s hold for the main time, staring at the work Xiu Zhicheng would attend to which was piles of documents and letters on the table, a ground ink by the side and he made up his mind he was going to allow Xiu Zhicheng stay like that for a little while longer before he excuse himself to go to the Jasmine palace.

"Si Ning you are so stiff." Xiu Zhicheng said as he kissed Si Ning’s neck.

"Forgive me your Majesty..." Si Ning said absentminded then he blinked thrice when he finally understood what Xiu Zhicheng told him. "I will try to adjust." He tried to relax but it was the opposite that happened, his heart beating faster, his palms getting sweaty because Xiu Zhicheng just kissed his weak point. He felt like a teenager being cornered by his crush and he doesn’t like it since he would like to relax because Xiu Zhicheng was now his one and only husband yet for some reason he kept feeling giddy whenever him and Xiu Zhicheng were alone, it was almost like he still couldn’t believe a sexy man like Xiu Zhicheng would marry him, keep seeking for him and choose him above all his wives, especially above Concubine Ling, this only made Si Ning to fall more and more in love with Xiu Zhicheng that he was happy taking all the Emperor’s love and attention.

"You should call me my name often and also stop with the former speech, we are married now and I will spend the rest of my life loving you and taking care of you because you are my light." Xiu Zhicheng said as he kissed Si Ning’s shoulder through the clothing. "You are my lovely wife, my bride, my Empress, my sweet cake, my Jasmine."

Si Ning blushed as he listened to the series of sweet names Xiu Zhicheng called him, his heart warm yet he wondered if Xiu Zhicheng perhaps had some few screws loose on his head because Xiu Zhicheng seemed to prioritize him above his children and all Si Ning wants was for Xiu Junjie and Xiu Yuan to also become close to Xiu Zhicheng.

"I heard you told Xiu Junjie to learn from me." Si Ning said shyly.

"No better teacher than the Empress that chooses me." Xiu Zhicheng replied. "He will be the Emperor one day that’s why I want him to learn a lot."

Si Ning finally relaxed and placed a hand on Xiu Zhicheng’s hands which were holding him in place linking their hands together, examining how long and wide Xiu Zhicheng’s hand was, so bigger than his. He felt safe yet nervous in his embrace and for some reason, he wanted to turn and kiss Xiu Zhicheng senseless. "What about Yuan-er?" He had to ask.

"He is still too small that’s why I leave him to play but he will also learn from my Empress." Xiu Zhicheng replied.

It was hard for Si Ning not to blush because he had no idea where Xiu Zhicheng learned a lot of sweet words that keeps making his cheeks get tinted pink. Xiu Zhicheng released his hands from Si Ning’s hold then he slightly turn his wife’s head to him just to see the face he was making.

Seeing how red Si Ning’s face was seemed so lovely to Xiu Zhicheng that he quickly drew him in for a light kiss then he separated from him, his eyes on Si Ning’s lips then he raised his eyes to look into his wife’s eyes that always captivated him and that peach eyes do draw him in all the time that he drew him in for another kiss which he deepened.

" Hummmm." Si Ning opened his mouth allowing Xiu Zhicheng’s tongue to tangle with his making his head dizzy he shivered when he felt a pleasant shock run through his body.

"Your Majesty, The Prime Minister request for an audience." The Head Eunuch announced loudly outside the study.

Xiu Zhicheng pulled back. "I will love to continue this with you but I have to see Song Ouyang first."

Si Ning nodded in understanding and was about to stand up when Xiu Zhicheng wrapped his arms around him to make him stay put. "Your Majesty?" He complained.

"He interrupted us and you are my wife so he shouldn’t be shocked when he comes in, just stay like this." Xiu Zhicheng nibbled on his ear. "Come in."

Si Ning doesn’t know what came over him but he suddenly pushed Xiu Zhicheng away and jumped on his feet and that moment the door opened and Song Ouyang stepped him, he instantly wore a confused look when he saw Si Ning standing a few feet from the Emperor, fidgeting like he did something wrong while looking away, Xiu Zhicheng on the other hand eyes were narrowed, his attention on Si Ning not even taking a glance at the man who came in and for some reason Song Ouyang doesn’t want to stay.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty." Song Ouyang doesn’t understand the situation but one thing he understood was that he shouldn’t be there. "Here is the delivery by the Imperial jeweler." He quickly placed a small golden box on the table and stepped out, closing the door behind him, giving them privacy to talk.

"Si Ning..."

Si Ning that was staring at his feet, he quickly fell to his knees. "Forgive me, Your Majesty, I do not know what came over me, forgive me." He placed his hands on his knees he was already at a stage he talks freely to Xiu Zhicheng but for some reason, he feels overwhelmed sometimes by Xiu Zhicheng’s aura.

"Is it Song Feng?" Xiu Zhicheng asked, his voice dangerously deep.

"Eh?"

"You don’t want Song Ouyang to see us and tell Song Feng." Xiu Zhicheng said as he raised one leg, his feet planted firmly on the ground, the knee high that he leisurely placed a hand, getting balanced, his eyes on Si Ning having the appearance of a god tormenting the beautiful flower in his garden, the flower was Si Ning and the position they were seemed like a painting that a painter wouldn’t want to sell because the painter would take years admiring it and if the painter eventually sells it then the buyer would continue to admire the painting several times a day.

What! What does Song Feng have to do with anything?

Si Ning quickly shook his head. "No your Majesty, it was just on reflex." He had to explain for Xiu Zhicheng to understand that he didn’t mean to act that way if only he could rewind the time. "Forgive me I will accept any punishment." He said.

Xiu Zhicheng stared at him for a moment. "Very good then, Steward Yu!" He called.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The head eunuch came in.

"Anyone that wishes to see me should come tomorrow I have something important to do that needs my urgent attention." Xiu Zhicheng told him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Headeunuch saluted as he stepped out.

Si Ning was so confused because he had no idea why Xiu Zhicheng had to cancel all his meetings then seeing the stack of papers on the table, he was confused if Xiu Zhicheng was about to deal with his workload or not.

Xiu Zhicheng suddenly stood up and before Si Ning could react he bend and picked him up in bridal style and started to walk away. Si Ning was unable to say a word and before he knows what was going on, he was thrown onto the bed, a bed he recognized as Xiu Zhicheng’s bed.

Oh.
