Chapter 42

Will Not Be Bearing Your Child

Jun Qian Che slowly leans onto her, the coldness in his eyes gradually turning gentle.  When his lips is about to fall on hers, the gentleness in his eyes turns to coldness and disgust.

Just as Mo Qi Qi thought this night would end in a disaster and she would be humiliated by Jun Qian Che, he lets go of her chin and sits up straight.

Mo Qi Qi froze for a while; surprised, curious, suspicious.

Jun Qian Che turns to glare at her before mockingly saying, ”Do not worry, zhen will not touch you.”  Upon remembering that scene in the viewing tower, his heart will be filled with so much anger he does not know where to vent them.

Hearing him saying that, Mo Qi Qi secretly heaves in relief.

”It is a good thing that Your Majesty has a clear understanding of what you want in your bedroom matter.”  He must be indulging Yang Shihan; Mo Qi Qi really needs to start thanking her.  She helped her dodge this disaster.

”Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, chenqie really should return to Feng Yang Palace.  Your Majesty must be tired from playing with Yang Meimei, rest early.  Tomorrow, you still have to attend the morning court.”  She get up and was about to slip away when Jun Qian Che speaks.

”Zhen wants to know why the empress is so interested in the palace's toilets.”  He looks at her appraisingly.

Mo Qi Qi froze.  d.a.m.n, she keeps circling around trouble.  Jun Qian Che's good memory is so troublesome.

She scratches her head, her brain turning like a gear, ”Your Majesty, why would anyone be interested in toilets?  Chenqie only checked every single toilet we have for your sake!”

”For zhen's sake?” Jun Qian Che questioningly glances at her.  He really cannot find the correlation between toilets and himself.

Mo Qi Qi nods with an earnest expression, ”Correct, as Your Majesty's empress, chenqie needs to think about you all the time.  Summer will be here soon, the weather will get really hot.  You can only imagine the smell of the toilets then.  There are so many people around you, if the toilets are unhygienic; maggots, flies, mosquitoes and dung beetle will all—”

”Alright.” Jun Qian Che cannot bring himself to listen anymore.  ”These kinds of matters will be managed by servants; no need for you to worry about them, you will lose conduct.”

Mo Qi Qi secretly laughs.   Hmph, serve him right!  He must be disgusted to the core.  ”Yes.  Your Majesty, why don't chenqie give you a riddle?” She quickly and expertly changes the subject.  'There are five good brothers with different heights.  They work together all day as labours.  Do you know what the answer is?”

Jun Qian Che stares at her coldly, ”Are you trying to humor a child?”

Uh!

”Hehe, is it too simple?  Chenqie will change it to a hard one.  Listen carefully, Ba Jie saw a beauty drenched by the rain.  The answer is a song, do you know what it is?”

Jun Qian Che stares at her without saying anything.

Mo Qi Qi giggles, ”You don't know the answer?  The answer is 'Looking at flower through mists.'  Ha ha ha!  Here's another one; a big mouth kiss a small mouth!  The answer is only one word.  Your Majesty, hurry and guess this!”  Mo Qi Qi scoots closer to Jun Qian Che and pokes his arm with her elbow.

Jun Qian Che sighs helplessly.

Mo Qi Qi rolls her eyes and proceeds to mock him, ”The answer is so simple yet you didn't even know it!  It's 'lu' ah!  I really don't know how you became this kingdom's emperor.  Let me test you again; run naked.  The answer is a saying.”

(TN:  I have no idea what her riddles mean.  I googled and 'Lu' supposedly means pitchpipe.”
