The steady steps of a horse carriage carried by the wind as they went to their next destination. Zhan Chen was eating sweets that Emperor Xian Long Wei bought for him at the tea house. He was enjoying his sweet treats that he didn't notice a certain wolf was salivating with hunger.
Emperor Xian wished he could just lick clean those red full lips smeared with sugar and kissed him senseless. Thinking about it, he grinned and moved closer as he said to the ger.
"There's some on your lips."
Zhan Chen looked up with big doe eyes and blinked. He licked his lips innocently and unconsciously, made it moist with his saliva. "Is it clean?"
Gulping down, Emperor Xian Long Wei shook his head calmly. "Not yet, there is still a little bit on your lower lip."
Zhan Chen licked again and asked. "Already clean?"
It was actually cleaned and only moisture from Zhan Chen's saliva was staining the red lips. Emperor Xian however was very, very 'hungry', so, he lied with open eyes and moved closer to swipe his thumb on that red, soft, moist lower lip before he brought to his lips and sucked on it. "Now, it's clean."
Blushing, Zhan Chen averted his eyes and looked out of the carriage window.
What the fox?! Why did Wei dage do that? Did he need to suck on his thumb like a big pervert?! Or maybe the emperor was an actual pervert?! Fish! Frowning, he peered to look at the older male's reaction.
Emperor Xian knew what he did, had caused a suspicion from the ger. So, when he realised Zhan Chen was looking at him with distrustful eyes, he put on an air of naivety. Yes, he could momentarily forget his overbearing, majestic appearance in front of his Chen Chen.
Shadow guards: "Let's pretend we don't see anything..."
'Hm... Maybe, I'm wrong,' Zhan Chen thought when he saw Wei dage look like his usual kind self and just as quick as his suspicion arose, it was just as quick as it went away when he saw the majestic walls and gate.
He made an awe sound as he stared in surprise. This was... He turned towards the other person in the carriage, "Wei dage, is this your palace...?"
Seeing the reaction from the young ger, Emperor Xian Long Wei straightened his body and preened like a peacock. He was proud when Zhan Chen looked so stunned and awed. "Mm..." he nodded his head and mumbled quietly, "soon, it will be yours too."
The carriage was stopped in front of the huge gate by the soldiers who acted as the gatekeeper. "What is your business?"
Zhan Chen furrowed his eyebrows. How could an Emperor himself being held back? Then, he scolded back himself when he realised that they were in disguise when they went out.
The coachman also a soldier in disguise, produced a jade pass that bore the Xian Dynasty's Emperor's name.
The gatekeepers seeing such thing, immediately apologised before they opened the gate and bowed. Since the emperor was in a disguise, they didn't kneel down in respect. Usually, when His Majesty was in disguise he would use the back door, but, today, they didn't get the information that His Majesty would use the front door.
In actuality, Emperor Xian Long Wei just wanted to show off to the ger who was with him. He wanted him to feel proud of him and to think that such a good husband candidate was in front of his pretty eyes.
Yes, this was Xian Long Wei's way of courting.
Even though, the young ger didn't realise it, he was indeed being courted by the emperor. Zhan Chen who was still thinking this big brother of him was only care for him as a younger brother didn't suspect anything.
So, he innocently went into the wolf's den, where the wolf himself was clothing as a harmless sheep.
Inside the Forbidden City, the carriage then replaced by two sedan chairs. The servants brought them to the forbidden garden where the Emperor's private courtyard was. Emperor Xian Long Wei walked down first before he extended his hand to help the young ger.
Accepting the hand, Zhan Chen walked down from the sedan chair. He pulled out his hand when he was out of the ancient vehicle, making the handsome Emperor furrow his eyebrows for a second. Looking around him in awe, Zhan Chen almost couldn't shut his jaw.
"Do you like it?" Xian Long Wei asked carefully as he stared at Zhan Chen's face. "It's my private courtyard. I especially like it here when I want to unwind from all the stress."
"It's very beautiful..." Zhan Chen said in awe as he softly touched the flowers and trees. Then, he remembered the words Emperor Xian said, "Wei dage, is it too hard being an Emperor?"
Xian Long Wei smiled as he led the young ger towards the pavilion in the middle of the lotus lake. "Hn, I'm used to it. I've been trained to be an Emperor from the young age. My Father Emperor was very strict when he taught me."
They sat down on the marble chair where all the small treats already being served by the servants. He poured the specially made cherry blossom tea into a cup before giving it to the young ger.
"Thank you, Wei dage. It smells good," Zhan Chen took a sip and relished at the new tea flavor. Looking around him, he seemed to not see any ger when they were being carried by the sedan chairs to here. He frowned in confusion. Where was the Emperor's harem? Also, he never ask this but did Wei dage already marry an Empress?
Emperor Xian Long Wei smiled softly when he looked at Zhan Chen's face. He greedily took in every emotion that passed the cute ger's face. He was also frowning when he saw his Chen Chen frowning. "Chen Chen? What's the problem?"
Staring at the person in question, Zhan Chen hesitated if he should ask the question. But, rather than making his own speculation, he would rather ask the Emperor himself. "...That Wei dage, I don't see any ger here beside the maids, eunuchs and soldiers? Don't you have a harem of concubines? And, where is the Empress?"
Xian Long Wei never would have thought that Zhan Chen would ask him about his nonexistent harem or Empress. Helplessly, he stared at the youth, trying to find any hint of him trying to ask these questions deliberately. Fortunately, he didn't find any.
"I don't have a harem and I'm not married, yet," Emperor Xian stressed on the word, 'yet' while he tried to tell what Zhan Chen was thinking when he heard the answer.
"I thought you already have an Empress. "
Surprised, Zhan Chen stared at the Emperor with big doe eyes which made him look adorable. Tilting his head to one side, he asked in confusion, "Why won't Wei dage has a harem? Don't every Emperor must has a harem?"
"Well... I don't like harem and I only want to marry the one I love," Emperor Xian emphasised the word, 'love'.
'So, there is also an Emperor who never likes harem and only wants to marry the one he loves,' Zhan Chen thought. He then grinned mischievously.
Alarmed, Emperor Xian stayed guarded when the ger in front of him looked like a calculating small rabbit.
"Then, do you already have a person you love? Can I meet him? Is he pretty? He must be pretty right because he will be my sister-in-law."
The Xian Emperor almost blurted out that the future Empress would be Zhan Chen himself. But, luckily, he didn't or the rabbit would run away before he could catch him.
"I already have an Empress candidate and that person is very close to me."

Small theatre
Emperor Xian: I already have an Empress candidate and that person is very close to me.
Xiao Chen: Close to you? Wei dage, quick tell me who is my sister in law? Could it be someone in this Palace?
Emperor Xian: (thinking: what should I tell Chen Chen?)
Shadow guards: (whisper: good luck, Your Majesty!)
Xiao Chen: (Grabbing a random pretty ger servant and shove him in front of the Emperor excitedly) Is this my future sister in law?
Emperor Xian: NO!!!
Random pretty ger: Y-Your Majesty, f-forgive this poor servant! (kowtowing on the ground and crying)
Shadow guards: (facepalm)
Xiao Chen: ......
