The Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers is basically a flinging flowers and stuff in your opponent's face type of move.

As for the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, well, we'll get there.

"Your Majesty, you're really mistaken! I really didn't have any intentions! After leaving the Palace, I heard them say that they were looking for Your Majesty and knew that Your Majesty didn't have time because you were with the Empress Dowager. Moreover, the two seemed harried, so I just wanted to let them rest a little while waiting for Your Majesty! I really didn't have any other ideas!" Xia Yuqing howled and hugged Feng Tingye's leg as soon as they dumped the third wheels. She gazed at him beseechingly while secretly pinching her own leg to produce tears. I must use all the weapons I've got!

In fact, Feng Tingye's anger had already cooled on the way back. If he'd been thinking objectively, he could have easily seen through the duo's lies. He roughly understood what had happened. But before he said anything, Xia Yuqing had already started bawling.

This is fun. Feng Tingye's mood rose. He lifted Xia Yuqing's chin and smiled dismally, "We'll only believe it if we see it. And how could we have seen wrong?"

Xia Yuqing shook at Feng Tingye's satanic smile. She pursed her lips and went for broke, "What can I do for Your Majesty to believe me?"

The big bad wolf hmmed. He looked at the nervous bunny impassively. "We have seen you acting intimately and speaking suggestively with our officials, but if you insist on your innocence, then you must present proof to the contrary. We will be a fair and impartial judge."

Xia Yuqing was stumped. She tilted her head and inquired, "What sort of evidence does Your Majesty want?"

Feng Tingye glanced at Xia Yuqing cunningly. "Of course to see whether Darling has marks from any other man."

"Eh?" Xia Yuqing looked up at him uncomprehendingly. He didn't wait for her to understand his meaning and began his inspection.

Xia Yuqing's brain shorted out briefly at her second time being pushed down. She started shrieking for 911. Dammit, why is this happening again? Seme-sama, do you not fear death by snu-snu?

"Do-don't come over here. Lemme tell ya, I know the Eighteen Pervert Subduing Palms. If ya get any closer, then I'll disable ya fer real." As the big bad wolf approached, Xia Yuqing threw all considerations for her fellow fujoshi to the wind. She seized the brocade blanket and used Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers!

Feng Tingye was thrown by Xia Yuqing's suddenly vicious expression and off guard, the flying blanket caught his head. He hurriedly tore the blanket from his face, only to find that Xia Yuqing had already managed to flee to the other side of the bed. They circled each other warily.

The two stood on opposite sides of the ring. Wide eyes stared at narrowed ones. "Come over here."

Xia Yuqing was en garde. "No. You come over here if you dare."

Feng Tingye narrowed his eyes. He renewed his advance but they still got nowhere. Then, "Don't move."

"Not moving is for idiots! I'm not an idiot!"

"..." He knew that it was wasting brain power to argue with this person, so he chose to do what was necessary.

BAM—— The servants guarding the Hall of Captured Fragrance heard a loud noise. This time, no one dared to enter and shut their bodies and minds. His Majesty and our lady sure are energetic. They do this every time. I wonder whether that's good or not? Far away eyes...

Xia Yuqing gasped for breath and glared at Feng Tingye, who was on top of her. "That's cheating."

"It's called outsmarting. Heheh, you can't win against me my dear."

"Hmph. I'd rather die than submit." Xia Yuqing carried out her words immediately and kicked quickly at Feng Tingye.

Feng Tingye broke out in cold sweat even though he was prepared for this. He bent his legs and locked down Xia Yuqing's. The accident from last time won't be uncommon. Xia Yuqing wouldn't lose even to that super strong tigress from the general's clan, Liu Yixiang.

After a struggle, Feng Tingye knew that while he wouldn't end up like last time, he couldn't keep her in check. Feng Tingye had no choice but to use his ace-in-the-hole. "Actually, we already knew that those two were lying."

He leaned over and looked straight into Xia Yuqing's shocked and teary eyes. Feng Tingye's eyes smiled. "Zitang hates being seen as a child, and Yan Ran despises when people talk about his looks. Unfortunately, you offended both today, so that's why they ganged up on you."

As expected, Xia Yuqing has stopped struggling. Her grip also loosened, allowing Feng Tingye to easily bypass her defenses.

She looked at Feng Tingye dumbly. Xia Yuqing said incredulously, "So you're saying that they did that on purpose, to...mess with me?"

That's awful. To think that she'd been racking her brain, trying to help them reach an understanding with Seme-sama. It's fine that they weren't grateful, but how could they treat her like this!

Xia Yuqing asked after thinking carefully, "If Your Majesty already knew, then why did you..." Her eyes abruptly widened, "You were also messing with me?"

Feng Tingye watched Xia Yuqing's unpredictable expressions. He smiled wickedly and bent to bite her fair earlobe, then chuckled, "How could we bear to mess with you?"

Xia Yuqing was moved to tears by those few words. Unfortunately, those warm and fuzzy feelings were immediately shattered by his next words.

"We weren't messing with you, we were...playing with you."

"..." Sob sob sob, Seme-sama, your cruelty disappoints your parents. Uwu, I'll never play with you again.
