CH 48.1

Although Liao Qing Qing had no experience in this area, she and her roommates constantly talked about the problems between men and women when they were in university. All of them said that men basically did it in seconds when it came to their first time.

She didn’t expect that Emperor Jing Li would also do it in seconds.

Is it really the first time for Emperor Jing Li?

Didn’t they say that the ancient people will have already done it at thirteen or fourteen years old…

She slowly raised her head and looked at Emperor Jing Li in shock. She didn’t expect that the king of a country would really be a first-timer!

Emperor Jing Li was still staring at that spot.

What’s going on?

This was not like what he had imagined!

His brain rumbled.

His powerful self-confidence was struck for the first time, causing a tremendous shock to him. The shock caused him to be unable to react momentarily. Why did he do it so quickly… He slightly raised his eyes and met Liao Qing Qing’s surprised gaze. His heart fell.

A man is supposed to be thick, big, hard, strong, and lasts long.

Bu–but he did it so quickly.

Liao Qing Qing would disdain him, right?

In a flash, all sorts of self-doubting words popped up in his mind, and the word “impotent” took precedence over reason.

Anxiousness surged through him, who was usually calm. He stared straight at Liao Qing Qing.

Liao Qing Qing carefully called out to him, “Your Majesty.”

Emperor Jing Li could form a single word, “I[1]… I….”

Liao Qing Qing hurriedly defended Emperor Jing Li’s shattered pride and said, “Your Majesty, this imperial concubine[2] understands.”

“???”

Liao Qing Qing continued, “It’s Your Majesty’s first time.”

“First time?”

“Mm. It will be the case for the first time for all men.”

“How do you know that?”

“….” This is an excellent question. Liao Qing Qing deliberated for a moment before saying cautiously, “Before this imperial concubine entered the palace, this imperial concubine’s mother had asked a Momo[3] to teach me.”

“How come no one taught me?” Emperor Jing Li asked.

Liao Qing Qing asked in response, “No one taught Your Majesty?”

“No one.”

“How come there isn’t? Didn’t people say that one would be taught at the age of thirteen or fourteen?”

“I ascended the throne when I was thirteen years old.”

“…. What about when you were fourteen years old?”

“I started to plan to seize power at fourteen years old.”

“What about fifteen years old?”

“At fifteen years old, I was in the process of seizing great power.”

“…. Then your imperial harem….”

“I didn’t care about the imperial harem.”

“Wouldn’t the Empress Dowager send someone to teach you?”

“She did.”

“And what happened?”

“Then I was very busy, so I told them to leave the books, and I will read them myself.”

“What kind of books?”

“The Pictures of Spring.”[4]

“And then?” Shouldn’t you have tested it after looking at the Pictures of Spring?

“I was poisoned.”

“….” Alright. An Emperor whose heart is in the world and whose life is in danger all the time is not likely to be in the mood for XXOO. It is normal to know that there is a bit of scarcity in this area.

“Qing Qing,” Emperor Jing Li suddenly called out.

Only then did Liao Qing Qing dare to lift her eyes. At this moment, she was pinned under Emperor Jing Li’s body.

“Your Majesty, what are you doing?”

“Let me try again.”

“???” He just received a blow of doing it in seconds and had an “it’s not worth it to live on earth” look, as if he is going to kill himself in the next second. How come he suddenly got aroused again?

“I will not be defeated so easily!”

The word “impotent” was thrown down from the heights of sanity and crushed by Emperor Jing Li.

Who is he?

He’s the number one man in the Great Wei Dynasty!

How could he fall into self-doubt merely because of a single defeat?

All of the negative emotions were momentary to Emperor Jing Li, and he would eventually overcome them all.

He was such a confident man.

Liao Qing Qing, however, said sceptically, “But you….”

“Don’t doubt me. I can do it!”

“….”

I felt it.

Liao Qing Qing sensed danger from that direction.

She suddenly wanted to escape.

But Emperor Jing Li had forcefully swept her into the huge waves, sinking and floating in the waves, receiving all kinds of beatings. For a moment, she couldn’t tell if it was a dream or reality only until she felt a pain like she was being split open.

All the beauty disappeared.

She struggled desperately against the huge waves for several moments and then sank under the soothing, gentle words of Emperor Jing Li. She felt it wave after wave. She was disoriented and did not have any sensation or strength. It was as if her soul had been drained away.

She slumped helplessly.

There was a warm sensation on her hands and face. She heard Emperor Jing Li call her name tenderly. He seemed to say, “I told you I can do it.”

After a while, she heard He Xiang’s voice, and then she entered a warm embrace.

But she was too tired.

Gradually, she lost consciousness.
