Empresses Palace (China)

@Dilraba Dilmurat He was just observing, a mere spectator for the court. He was amazed at how smart his lover was and the more he knew about her, the more he fell in love with her. However suddenly the entire crowd of people turned his attention on him and honestly he didn’t know what to answer about it. The offer that the emperor had made to him, he felt like it wasn’t right. It always amused him on how people always offer females to other kings. He pursed his lips on a deep thought. “Well, I need to apologize beforehand as I need to refuse this offer. I don’t need expensive things or girls and I don’t mean to be rude to your majesty because of this. However, I do have a request. What about for the emperor to accept my request to invite your majesty and the empress to my country, for a visit. That I would feel delighted as I don’t feel like coming here as a guest and then demand precious things from this lovely country, cause i feel like if I accept your offer, your majesty, I would be rude to your people.” He answered politely, didn’t mean no harm and at the same time doing his best in refusing the offer as he could see the hint of hurt on his lover’s eyes when the emperor brought up this matter.

@Kim Jonghyun The court was the same as per usual, discussion of battle strategies that even Dilraba took place in. But soon, the Chinese Emperor turned towards her lover and gave him a slight sneer. “Court, I introduce you to our royal guest, Emperor Jonghyun from Korea.” Dilraba watched her emperor silently, making sure to watch his every move as he spoke of her lover. “Emperor Jonghyun, a a gift from the Chinese Empire, what would you like for your departure? Pearls? Jade? One of my concubines? What would you like? Surely, my most beautiful concubine would do, yes? Only second best to my Empress.” Dilraba forced a smile on her lips, her hurt eyes traveling over to Jonghyun as she waited for his answer.

@Dilraba Dilmurat He walked behind her and took a seat where the Chinese Emperor had prepared for him. He gave a polite bow to the Emperor before he had a tea in front of him while waiting for the ministers and leaders made their way to the court. he would just look at this 'new' thing. Getting to know on what happened around the palace wasn't that bad as he basically was a curious person afterall. Seeing the minsters and leaders stood in firm and proper position made him thought of his own court. nothing much of a difference and he thought that they indeed had a few similarities.

@Kim Jonghyun (( I will ^^ ))

She was the epitome of beauty and grace as she walked into the court, enduring with each step the pain that jolted through her long legs. With a gentle smile given to the Chinese Emperor, she moved to her spot besides him, which the Chinese Emperor gestured towards a spot for Jonghyun to sit for the the court as ministers and leaders, along with countless guards made their way into the court.

@Dilraba Dilmurat [you really should do so]

jonghyun's gaze directly softened, answering everything with his eyes, the things that they couldn't talk about with words when they are in public place like this. He crossed his arms behind his back as he walked with her towards the court, side by side. occasionally he would steal a glance at her, making sure that she was alright as everything related to her always concern him.

@Kim Jonghyun (( I should drink the meds. ))

“Ah.. I don’t mean to make you feel sad, Jonghyun..”. Dilraba whispered, her eyes laced with concern for a moment before the doors opened, revealing her maids who waited for her as her affectionate features had turned to that of stone. Hearing his words, her eyes traveled to his as they softened, nonverbally expressing his worry as well as they both headed towards the imperial palace for court.

@Dilraba Dilmurat [ahh... drink the meds, it would help to reduce the pain and swelling]

Jonghyun directly sighed at what she had said. "that's the worst part, actually. When you feel pain and you can't even express it or let it show and keep it hidden. that's what concerns me and sort of makes me feel sad." he whispered, against her lips before he held her hand, walking with her towards the door. lucky enough he could still help her until there, but after they opened the door, they needed to become stranger once again. "I really wish he didn't come here tonight." he spoke out his concern, wanting her to be able to rest, even for one night.

@Kim Jonghyun (( ah, well, today I just got my wisdom teeth taken out and it hurts a lot, so I can only hope for the best. ))

“Jonghyun.” Dilraba smiled reassuringly up at her lover. “I am Dilmurat Dilraba.. Empress of China, Lady of the Xinjiang Province... If I can’t handle a litle pain, then who am I to be empress?” She reassured him before stepping back, seeing that he looked just as good as always, she pressed her plump lips against his before glancing up at him. “Lets go? To the imperial palace?”

@Dilraba Dilmurat [It is, but i think it's more to that I've gotten used to it. haha. hope yours are the same. remember to eat and rest well]

"I see.. then I'll go." He whispered to her and looked at her worried. Just walking to change was already difficult enough and now she needed to travel to the court. he directly sighed just with the thought. "How can I not worry?" he muttered softly as he stood still for her to fix his robes. It felt good, to have someone to take care of him that way. usually it would be the maid fixing his robe and for most of the time he was the one doing it himself. "I love you too, my Dil Dil." he chuckled, loving the nickname that he gave her and also feeling proud of it.

@Kim Jonghyun (( I’m glad it’s not just me then, I hope the load has lightened for you somewhat.. ))

“It is.. you don’t have to go, but the emperor would find it favorable if you do.” Dilraba informed him as her large eyes traveled up towards the man who wrapped his strong arms firmly around her slender waist. Quite enjoying his touch as he kissed her cheek. “No. You didn’t.. I just think it’s the effects from last night. Don’t worry, you didn’t hurt me, I believe it was the emperor who had taken a toll on me. Therefore, don’t worry..”. She smiled up at him as she whispered in response, turning to fix his robes and his hair as her loving eyes glanced up at him. “I love you, Jonghyun..”

@Dilraba Dilmurat [it's fine. I am pretty busy myself as well, haha]

"court? is it something that we need to attend?" he asked, not really knowing much about the tradition here but he went to help her walking when he saw her having a trouble with it. he watched her changing and once she was done, he wrapped his arms around her waist, giving her a back hug. he kissed her cheek and smiled. "Did I go too hard on you?" he whispered, afraid that what he did might be a huge toll on her.

@Kim Jonghyun (( haha I was busy, thank you ))

“Oh, there’s court in 30 minutes.. I totally forgot.” She breathed shakily as she hurried onto her sore legs, gasping as she grasped onto the table, stabilizing herself before she began to dress herself. Putting on the red robes of an Empress, her long hair pinned up with simple gold trinkets to keep it from slipping out of the perfectly made hair.

@Dilraba Dilmurat (Haha. I won’t. I just thought that you are busy.)

“Maybe somewhere around noon.” He whispered, lips growing into a smile and pecked her lips that brushed against him. “Why? You got something to do? Or you want me to go and hide as the king might come here?” He asked her, not wanting to give her a problem.

@Kim Jonghyun (( I just thought you’d be upset with how long I take- ))

“Okay then!” She cheered with a bright smile, making her beautiful features glow even more before she hummed with a smile, her large doe eyes on his as his arms secured her in, her apple red lips brushing against his affectionately, closing her eyes as she hummed in thought, only to open her eyes and remember the time. “What time is it?”

@Dilraba Dilmurat [sure. why not?]

@Kim Jonghyun (( I’m sorry for such late replies, do you still want to rp? ;; ))

@Dilraba Dilmurat “Yup, it totally isn’t a bad idea.” He confirmed and assured her one more time, looking at the small pout on her lips which made him got up and poked it. Holding her was like a reflex to him now. He loved it when she was close to him like this. “Okay. I’ll just trust you with it.” He said, pecking her lips once as he let her help him with his robe. “What should we be doing after this?” He asked, playing with the strands of her smooth and silky hair.

@Kim Jonghyun “Are you sure that it isn’t a bad idea? I fear that it may be a bit far fetched.” Dilraba admitted with a small pout on her plump lips, only to breathe out a small breath as she was once again secured in his arms. In the arms of her lover. “Others? Remember, Jonghyun... I’m an Emperess... I could silence them with a snap of my fingers..” Dilraba spoke as she looked up at him, fixing her robes before she reached over to begin helping him out on the robes.

@Dilraba Dilmurat Jonghyun listened to her while watching her putting back her robes while he was of course still bare fans he was lazy to do so. He heard all her suggestion and he didn't find it as a bad idea. "That wasn't a bad idea actually." He said, thumbing her cheek and he knew more of the reason of why she was picked as an empress. She was smart, maybe even smarter than him. "Are you sure? Still others might remember my face and won't it be bad for your reputation?" Arms soon wrapped up around her body once more.

@Kim Jonghyun "Yes. I will indeed!" Dilraba huffed softly, leaning her head against his chest as she enjoyed the warmth of his embrace. Although, she sat up and began to put back on her robes, her body fitting snug into the robes as she whispered softly. "We... can kiss and d-do verious things whrn the servants aren't around.. a-and there can be times when we can go to the village as commoners and be there.." Dilraba smiled brightly at the thought. Oh how she hoped to be with him for as long as possible- As her eyes trailed over towards the emperor, Dilraba blinked and spoke softly. "Of course.. there will indeed be some resemblance of me as well.. and besides.. the Chinese Emperor is losing his memory.. h-he'd forget your face sooner or later.." Dilraba spoke honestly, her body turning towards him.

@Dilraba Dilmurat "Wow.. indeed you will scold me a lot it seems." He let out a soft laughter at the thoughts of her scolding him, which he totally didn't mind. he brushed her hair and gently ran his hand on her hair. "I don't mind being an acquaintance with you in public." He stated, totally understood of their situation. He couldn't be too forceful on having her as his cause she was someone else's empress. How he wished he could bring her back and made her his empress. He then listened to her words and thumbed her cheek. "Well, then it better be that he looks like you. Cause if he looks like me it would bring huge trouble for you and the baby." He stated as his eyebrows slightly creased as he was thinking seriously about that topic which was a huge concern to him.

@Kim Jonghyun "Hnmm... causing a ruckus within the concubines' chambers, picking a fight with the Emperor when it isn't logical.." Dilraba hummed as she thought of more. "And for now, we must remain... I guess you could say, as acquaintances in public..." Dilraba smiled sweetly at him. Despite her words. She did not want to be restrained, she wanted to love him openly. And have him cradle her in his arms. "No.. I-it's not.. it's a beautiful idea... I'd.. Love to be pregnant with your child Jonghyun.." Dilraba smiled, looking at him lovingly. Although, she soon bit her lip, saying softly. "I-i'll see when he's born.. i-if he looks the most like you.. then he's your child.." Dilraba informed the emperor, her large eyes staring up at him, a smile gracing the beautiful empress' features. "I know.. but I want to be able to love you.."

@Dilraba Dilmurat "depends on what I do? Mind to give me an example?" he asked as he left kisses on the side of her head where he could kiss as she was hiding her face on him. He nodded when he noticed that she was looking at him wide eyed. wasn't it a good news? but he wouldn't press on this matter. "You don't like that idea?" He asked that sensitive matter carefully. "how could you know it's mine? besides, I and the king sort of doing it at the same time." he whispered, thumbing her cheek gently and looked at her caressing her stomach. He shook her head when she let out a sigh. "No sighing. we would still be together even when we are out of the room. counting it as serving the great guest."

@Kim Jonghyun Dilraba blinked and bit her lips before speaking. "T-that depends on what you do." Dilraba mumbled softly, hiding her face against Jonghyun before she squeaked at his words. "P-pregnant.. w-with your child..?" Dilraba spoke softly, her eyes wide before she spoke quickly. "I-i'll say i-it's his m-majesty's child! B-but I-i know that I-it's yours..." Dilraba spoke, biting her lip as she brought her hands to caress her stomach before she looked up at her lover. "I know that part... leaving the room.." Dilraba sighed softly, nustling against Jonghyun happily with a loving smile.

@Dilraba Dilmurat "misbehave? I wonder what kind of things would be counted as me misbehaved." Jonghyun said, smile growing on his face, leaning closer to her face, enjoying her shy look. "Oh.." this time it was his time to turn shy when she told him the reason. "Speaking of which.. what if.. you are pregnant with my child?" he wondered, wanting to know what she would think of it. he also didn't plan to pull out of her and more the reason he wouldn't do it at her request. he brushed her hair when she hid her blushing face on his chest. he brushed her hair and leaned down to kiss the top of her hair. "Nothing. it just means I can spend more time with you, silly girl. But sooner or later we need to get out of your room, so others won't feel suspicious of us."

@Kim Jonghyun "Yes you will if you misbehave." Dilraba stated as she intwined her legs with her lover, smiling happily as she enjoyed his sweet embrace. Although, she blushed and whimpered softly as she whispered out softly and shyly. "I-i know.. B-but i-it'll f-feel weird w-when you t- into mw with s-so much of your s-seed inside me J-jonggie.. I-i don't want your s-seed to come out.." Dileaba mumbled shyly, hiding her face against her lovers chest as she spoke, hiding the blush on her pale cheeks. "N-no. I don't.. Why?"

@Dilraba Dilmurat "Hm.. I guess my lover is a very feisty person. It seems that I'll get scolded by you often." He let out a laughter at his own words. Even if he was scolded by her everyday, he would willingly listen to it, knowing that she would scold him if he did something wrong. jonghyun gave her a nod that she was willing to ask whether she could come to visit him. it would be really nice if she could. Listening to her moan, he gulped. he then brought her to his embrace before shifting to lean on their sides as he locked gaze with hers. "Like I am not sensitive too." he said with a poke to her nose. "You don't have any schedule today right?" he asked, brushing her hair while looking at her with love.

@Kim Jonghyun "A-am.. I not supposed to?" Dilraba spoke softly as she looked up at him with her large doe eyes. Enjoying even the slightest touches he gave her. "You just haven't seen me in public.. nor on the battle field" Dilraba informed her lover before she squeaked. Kiss after kiss had Dilraba smiling brightly and happily immediately after each one. Dilraba sighed softly and contently, enjoying his warmth and the fact that she was now his. And always will be. Dilraba her side, and hummed in thought at his questions. "... I don't honestly know... I can ask the Emperor." Dilraba humme, only to gasp sharply and arch her back. Earning a moan to slip from her lips. "N-nngh.. I-i'm still s-sensitive Jonghyun..."

@Dilraba Dilmurat He laughed at her scolding, nuzzling his nose with hers. "Wow... now you can even scold me now." he , poking her sides playfully. "you are not cute? hmm.. I don't think the same." he stated with a nod, lips slowly grew into a huge smile. He kissed her over and over again, already loving the idea of being in the same bed with her like this. How he wished he could drag her back with him. "Is it possible for you to come to visit me?" he asked, kinda curious whether she could have that kind of privilege or no. He slightly moved his hips, making a playful into her. "If you give me that kind of answer, I really don't know what to do." he chuckled, nuzzling his nose with hers.

@Kim Jonghyun "I-" Dilraba had to pause a bit as she listened to him. And he was right. A practice match could always suffice between the two emperors. And it would indeed entertain the concubines and the servants. "Language Jonghyun. And yes, I believe a practice match could work out.." Dilraba smiled gently as she spoke before she quickly shook her head. "M-me? Cute? N-no I'm not.." Dilraba quickly mumbled out, only to squeak once he had nuzzled his nose against hers. "I-i.. I really don't mind either one.." Dilraba informed her lover, closing her eyes once their lips met into a tender kiss.
