The Emperor on Top, Imperial Concubine Underneath (7)
Sheng Siyu said coldly, “Come out! What are you hiding in the bed for?”
Bai Weiwei burst into tears, she wasn’t willing.
Sheng Siyu raised the sword and waited for a while before he heard the sound of Bai Weiwei under the bed with her voice trembling. She snorted and asked, “Will the Emperor… the Emperor not chop my head off?”
Sheng Siyu frowned. Thinking of Bai Weiwei’s face just now, the hand holding the sword clenched with more strength.
He reluctantly answered, “Knowing that you are a person, We will not attack you.”
The system yelled twice, “Saying this is like saying you weren’t human before.”
Bai Weiwei really wanted to pack Sheng Siyu up along with the system and stuff them down the toilet, then flush them away.
Sheng Siyu waited for a moment and saw a petite person under the bed slowly crawl out.
She looked up and sneaked a glance at him, the light in her gaze went downwards like flowing water, and disappeared into her drooping eyelids.
Bai Weiwei wanted to give him a bow. But Sheng Siyu looked at her face with disapproval and then put the sword back.
“Someone come, help Bai Daying wash her face.” He ordered. Bai Weiwei felt embarrassed. The old servant who came in had animosity written all over her face, she washed her makeup off with water and also changed her clothes, dressing her in a muslin, loose and beautiful. The fabric was embellished with hand-embroidered peach blossoms.
When everything was done, everyone retired once again.
Sitting to the side, Sheng Siyu rose his head absentmindedly, with a distracted look. Under the lights, the girl sitting on the bed had snow-like hands that were placed on her knees.
Her face leaned to the side, with rosy cheeks, and jade-like skin. Without the horrible makeup, that beautiful and shocking face could easily stun anyone.
【Ding, the male lead’s favorability went up to 10.】
【Ding, the male lead’s favorability has risen to 15.】
With the addition of more favorability points, Bai Weiwei couldn’t help but complain to the system, “I didn’t think Sheng Siyu was such a frivolous man.”
Just seeing her face, his favorability was skyrocketing.
The system was just about to comfort with a few words.
But then it heard Bai Weiwei continue, “But I like his frivolity, System, you said that if I touch his face, his favorability would rise to 100, right?”
The system couldn’t wait to kill Bai Weiwei, “In your dreams! Nevermind chatting with me, this father is busy.” After the system said that, it immediately blocked Bai Weiwei.
It must had been the first system in history to block it’s host, and without being forced.
Knowing that the system left because of her words, Bai Weiwei was a bit depressed, it was lonely without the System to harass.
She looked up to sneak a glance at Sheng Siyu but ended up being met with a pair of eyes as black as the abyss staring right at her.
These eyes were so cold, even looking at something pretty, you wouldn’t be able to warm them.
Bai Weiwei licked her lips and nervously looked down at her feet.
Sheng Siyu suddenly asked, “Are you afraid of me?”
Bai Weiwei trembled a bit, only to carefully answer, “This servant1 is not afraid.”
Sheng Siyu saw her exposed feet under the gauze, a looming half of the smooth, delicate calf, the white toes curling up softly.
He felt his throat was a little dry and couldn’t help but drink a few more sips of tea.
“Why do you like to dress yourself up… so strangely.”
Bai Weiwei seemed to think of something, extended her hands to cover her face, “Asking the Emperor not to look at this concubine’s face, it’s ugly.”
Sheng Siyu looked at her. Her face was enough to cause the downfall of a country, he felt his temples start to throb.
If this was regarded as ugly, then there didn’t exist a single beautiful person in the world.
