Spring Snow - Chapter 1 Part 4 H

‘귀인.’
When the night the emperor had instructed to wait passed and morning approached, Eunhwan received the ‘noblewoman’ seal in Hwasimjeon. The chief palace maid, with a solemn voice, bestowed the seal of a concubine upon the kneeling Eunhwan. The title was “Ka,” meaning beautiful. She was neither the daughter of a noble nor a palace maid who had suddenly gained favour for a night; it was the first time since Empress Hwa, the emperor’s biological mother, that a woman had been granted the seal of a concubine after just one night.
Moreover, she wasn’t just a low-ranking concubine like the others, but a noble consort. If she were truly pregnant, it would be one thing, but even though there was something that could twist the emperor’s feelings in Huirak Palace, the emperor showed no hesitation. The hall was the Youngso Hall of Sochang Palace, and the immediate food and clothing were being provided in the emperor’s sleeping quarters, Hwasimjeon, so it wasn’t just Huirak Palace but also the family of Yu Seung-sang, with whom the emperor had a formal marriage, that had reasons to be concerned.
However, no matter what kind of gaze the world cast upon him, the emperor remained steadfast. Thus, Eunhwan secretly wondered if he had some ulterior motive. The emperor had long been suspected of being impotent due to issues with his sexuality. He was a man who carried around vile rumors, from being a eunuch to being impotent, and even only being aroused by young boys.
Enshrining Eunhwan as a concubine was a powerful move that could dispel all those rumours. After all, she has been brought into the inner palace. Moreover, if it is said that she has even been seated in the central palace, the unpleasant rumours that had accumulated over time will undoubtedly disappear without a trace.
Thinking like that, the pounding in my chest subsided. Eunhwan recalled the emperor, who had held her close and only closed her eyes, without lifting a finger, after hearing the words “let’s eat together” just like his mother and father used to say every day. When referring to the parents he used to be with every day, it meant the Empress Dowager Uisuk, in other words, Empress Hwa and Princess Deokhye.
So, it was really a suggestion to have nightly activities every day, but even after receiving the nobleman’s decree, the emperor did not embrace her for four days. Occasionally, she would feel something harden against her thigh and, upon opening her eyes, see a lustful gaze, but that was all.
‘Her thighs are as plump as her bre*sts.’
Even with such a smile, he didn’t ask for anything else. It was incomprehensible. Watching the p*nis, which was stuck to his muscular, bulging lower abdomen, made my lips twitch. The glans oozed pre-c*m to the point where it seemed like he was just enduring it. It was swollen to the point of being numb, so there was no reason not to take it in.
Rather, he would glare fiercely as if he wanted to devour them. Thus, Eunhwan became truly fearful every night. He was an emperor who, after warning them to stick together and bear ten or so children like their parents, ultimately did nothing.
Indeed, doing so would also be a cause for concern, but… The clear voice of the attendant announcing the emperor’s audience echoed in the inner palace. Eunhwan, who had been staring blankly at the emperor’s bestowed treasures, jumped up in surprise.
The emperor’s six-petal flower, who had crossed the palace without hesitation, stood before Eunhwan. Before she could even prepare herself in surprise, the man standing before her gazed at the open jewelry box. Her cheeks flushed for no reason. She was afraid it would seem like she was coveting the jewelry.
As is customary with women and concubines. There was no reason to be disliked, but I was afraid of being out of favor for no reason. No, I was afraid of the emperor even just breathing. Just a glance from him made my knees weak, and I became mentally foggy, fearing I might make a mistake.
Even so, I had to use the same bed every day. I had to eat at the same table every day, and when I opened my eyes, the first thing I had to see was the emperor.

I couldn’t tell how he lived, how he spent his day. The emperor who told me to become a wife, not just a one-night companion.
Eunhwan still felt like his one-night mistress. Would it have been less terrible if she had remained as a maid who could only serve? It was when Eunhwan dared not lift her head and bowed it instead. The emperor’s gaze, which had been wandering between the hairpin and the pearl hairpiece in the jewelry box, turned to Eunhwan.
“Is the item insufficient?”
“Yes?”
Startled for a moment, Eunhwan lifted her gaze. The emperor’s strikingly white features, more pronounced than his own, came into view. The sharp, mesmerizing lines of his face were so dazzling they seemed to pierce through to her very bones. How could someone look like this?
How can a man be so enchanting? With such an expressionless face, his appearance was bound to stand out. Eunhwan, who had been staring blankly at the emperor, quickly lowered her head and shook it.
“Th-that’s not the case.”
“By the way, why do you have that expression? Are you not satisfied with something?”
“Yes?”
“You look pale like someone who’s about to die”
The emperor mumbled indifferently as he grabbed Eunhwan’s chin. He often stared at Eunhwan like this, his gaze lingering with a persistent intensity. It felt suffocating, as if it would be better to just mindlessly bury himself in her.
Eunhwan, whose chin was held, thrashed about. Even though she was being questioned so monotonously, her heart raced. She knew too many people who had been cast out. Those who were tortured also wouldn’t leave her mind. That’s how the palace was.
Whether there was a mistake or not, death has no reason. It was common for even those who had been smiling and laughing until yesterday to come out as corpses, flesh stripped and not a single part intact. All, all under this man’s feet. The deeds done by his will…
Suddenly, I felt nauseous. Afraid of crinkling my eyes in front of the emperor, I bit the inside of my lip. It was hard to hold back the nausea with my jaw held. Eventually, I pulled my jaw free from the grip of the silver ring and covered my mouth with my sleeve.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…”
“Could it be that she’s already pregnant?”
The emperor, who was watching Eunhwan covering his mouth with his sleeve while half-turning his body, muttered indifferently. Eunhwan’s heart raced. With a face that looked like he was about to die, Eunhwan bit her lip and knelt on the floor.
“Lord, please kill me.”
The trembling voice quivered slightly. The emperor stared at her blankly for a moment before opening his lips.
“Show me your bre*st.”
Eunhwan, with her head bowed to the floor, lifted her pale face. The emperor was sitting half-reclined, chewing on a long piece of meat. Under the heavy gaze, Eunhwan hurriedly loosened her collar. She no longer felt embarrassed. Thinking about last night, she wondered how she had cried and whined so much.
Eunhwan, with her front open, looked up at him, revealing her literally milky, pale bre*sts. As the cool air touched her, her rosy ni*ples stood erect. She clenched her fist tightly to stifle her sobs. The man, who had been looking down at her with a pipe in his mouth, gestured with his hand.
Eunhwan crawled on her knees, swallowing her tears as she approached him. It was only natural to crawl since he didn’t tell her to get up. She sat at his feet, her bre*sts sagging. His hand passed over the woman’s chest and reached her collarbone.
“My waist is this thin, but how did this bre*st get so plump and full?”
“Your Majesty…”
“Are all women like that?”
“Your Majesty.”
Eunhwan lowered his head. The emperor, who had been tracing the collarbone and caressing the slender waist, grasped his chest with a handful. A muffled sound escaped from Eunhwan’s closed lips. The emperor slid his lips to the edge, then fondled the bre*st and scratched the ni*ple.
“Show me your tricks.”
Shivering, she looked up at him. He gestured to Eunhwan and lifted her onto the bed. Then, he straightened his sitting posture and tapped his thigh. It seemed to mean “come up.” Eunhwan swallowed hard and got up to sit on his thigh. The pungent smoke from the incense tickled her nose.
“Are you really pregnant with Jim’s child?”
The emperor’s hands caressed the plump chest. His long fingers kneaded the fair bre*st. The touch that teased the soft flesh was lewd. The emperor had hands that were quite large for a man. Yet, Eunhwan’s chest was bigger than his hands.
One day, a court lady from the same palace who used to be a colleague joked, “Do you carry watermelons on your chest?” This memory came to mind. Eunhwan didn’t pay much attention to the joke, which was mixed with a bit of jealousy and longing. It was just the same woman talking about her chest.
But was her chest big enough to capture the emperor’s gaze? She didn’t know. She had never paid attention to it before. Eunhwan kept rubbing her chest, and when he kissed her lips, she was so surprised that her shoulders involuntarily jerked up. She instinctively tried to pull away but consciously stopped herself.
The emperor glanced at her, perhaps noticing him. The sensation of lips touching her bre*st was unfamiliar. Suddenly, her lower body tingled. Eunhwan bit her lip tightly and looked down at him. After lightly licking her bre*st with his tongue, he sucked on her ni*ple, knowing it was empty and nothing would come out…
However, as if eagerly anticipating something to come soon, he caressed her lower abdomen. While sucking on her left ni*ple, he gently kneaded and fondled her other bre*st. Eunhwan struggled to swallow the muffled moans that were forced down her throat with each heavy breath. Seeing her cover her lips halfway with her hand, the emperor bit her ni*ple hard enough to make her cheeks hollow and grabbed her hand.
“Ha, uhm…”
Eunhwan, who had let out a long sigh, wet her eyes. The emperor, who had been licking and kissing her bre*sts while fondling them, looked up at Eunhwan. His gaunt shoulders trembled. Eunhwan met the gaze of the man looking at her. Suddenly, the emperor picked up a hairpin from the jewelry box and placed it on Eunhwan’s head, which was tilted slightly.
It was a hairpin shaped by carving jade into a chrysanthemum pattern. Eunhwan watched the emperor’s actions. Perhaps the hairpin did not please him, as he took out a long hairpin. Beautiful red and green jade like pomegranate seeds. It was a hairpin woven with thick pearls and gilded with gold.
The emperor, after testing whether the hairpin suited her skin by placing it on her cheek, placed it on Eunhwan’s head and then took out another hairpin inlaid with jade and coral to adorn her hair that had already been styled for half an hour in the morning. To style this hair, another court lady was assigned to Hwasimjeon. Except for the hair that had been left to fall, her hair was already adorned with hairpins and ornaments. Nevertheless, the emperor was adorning Eunhwan with the jewelry he had chosen.
“Your Majesty…”

“폐하···‥.”
“The beauty of your eyes is enchanting. Even with the redness around them, it’s mesmerizing. However, I do not welcome a woman who cries on the bed.”
“Sorry, sorry…”
After averting her gaze and trying to make amends, the emperor’s hand suddenly pushed her down. Startled, Eunhwan let out a short scream and looked up at the man. The man, who had been stroking Eunhwan’s cheek with the back of his hand, lifted her skirt.
“Your Majesty!”
The dense hand caressed the soft thigh flesh. Eunhwan gasped and grabbed his chest. His hand pushed up the thin fabric, revealing the p*bic area clearly. Eunhwan, shivering from chills, stared at him. He licked his lower lip and gently stroked Eunhwan’s p*bic area.
“Sigh…”
Eunhwan twisted her hips, letting out a deep moan. His fingers, which had been tracing the p*bic hair, caressed the parted l*bia before pressing hard on the clit*ris. Even so, it was already soaked with arousal. The tingling sensation made her toes curl inside her socks.
“Ugh…”
The emperor, who had been tracing the split l*bia, spread the inner l*bia wide and pushed his fingers inside. The memories of last night overwhelmed her. The fingers that slipped into the opening made Eunhwan, gasping, unknowingly spread her legs wide, enticing him.
The emperor, who was loosening the tight inside by swirling his fingers around the slick interior, let out a short laugh. Eunhwan’s cheeks flushed at the inexplicable laughter. Her eyes trembled slightly. Feeling embarrassed, Eunhwan tried to close her legs again, but the emperor slapped her thighs and took out his heavy member, rubbing it against the inside of her thigh. At the soft sensation of contact, Eunhwan tilted her head back again. The h*le was flooded. As the heat pooled in the h*le, it filled up incessantly. She tilted her head back and covered her chest with her hands. The emperor wiped the smile off his face as he looked at her. He simply aligned the glans with the h*le.
“Ugh!”
As the glans thrust into the inside, Eunhwan let out a short moan. He buried the tip deeply, greedily squeezed the butto*ks, and thrust his waist. Eunhwan looked at his half-exposed chest. The flickering light of the lantern made the chest and the rippling abs below it look flawless.
After spreading her legs even wider, I wanted to tighten around his waist. Eunhwan, starting to moan as his t*sticles collided mindlessly, began to drip water. Was it the second insertion? It should have felt tight, but the tip slid in effortlessly. Like a well-oiled ph*llus, his c*ck moved in and out of the narrow h*le.
“Ah, ah-huh, hwa, hwaah! Ah, ah! Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Ah, haah!”
Eunhwan closed her eyes and shook her chest. Her slender body, constantly swaying, throbbed with heat. Stimulated by the bulging spot in the narrow passage, a tingling sensation spread to the top of her head. Eunhwan grabbed his forearm, panting, and pulled him closer.
The man poured his comfort into her and kissed her lips. Eunhwan instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and, like a child, sought his lips. Then, not knowing what to do with her tongue, she mumbled, and he sighed lightly and whispered.
“Open your mouth.”
“Ah, heh…”
“Hwanhwan.”
The wet eyelashes trembled slightly. It wasn’t a noble. Was it because of the heat? The dark eyes looked quite gentle.
“Are all women like that?” The way he had asked so coldly seemed to have shattered into pieces. Like a lover. Yes, like a lover, the way he sweetly called out “Hwanhwan” was not like an emperor.
Eunhwan half-lost in a daze, opened her mouth. A thick tongue came in and stole her saliva. It swept over the soft palate and traced her teeth. Eunhwan wrapped her arms around his shoulders, which had been around his neck. The thick, muscular mass was incredibly dense. This body heat, the heat contained in this large body, felt absolutely wonderful.
What should I do?
Even amidst the chaotic shaking, something clear flew into my mind. Even while biting, su*king, and intertwining our tongues, I felt uneasy. Just like the emperor, Eunhwan’s body, which had been constantly caressing his, was suddenly turned around.
“Ah!”
It was when Eunhwan was startled and tried to look at him. The hand that had been kneading her buttocks smoothly moved over to her forearm and grabbed her chest. A firm chest pressed against her back. Eunhwan squirmed and tried to turn her body. Strangely, when the man disappeared from her sight, she disliked this act.
So, this act of broadcasting. I tried to face the emperor, who was trying to lift one leg, struggling. It was a disrespectful act, but I had no thoughts about it.
“Ugh, Your Majesty! No. No, sob. Ah, not like this…”
I hated not being able to see. Was it because we had gone all the way like that last night? Eunhwan burst into tears as the emperor, who was trying to insert the long object while lifting her legs, approached her. Then, the hand that had been holding her chest gently took her hand.
“Shh- it’s okay. Patient. This is how it is. There are positions like this too.”
“However, however…”
“It will feel new. Surely…”
The man who brushed aside her long hair and blew the sound of the wind into her ear pushed the object into the h*le. Contrary to what she thought would be a rough insertion, he checked with his hand to see if the h*le was wide enough before putting it back in. Eunhwan, holding his hand tightly like a child, waited for him to completely fill her snug interior.
The winding plot touched the l*bia. Eunhwan sniffled as she tried to feel the sensation the man had described. Indeed, she felt it. It was even more unpleasant and frightening. However, it was undeniably new and intense. Eunhwan gasped and tried to scratch his forearm, but ended up biting her lips.
Because it was not a legitimate relationship, she served him as a subject. They could not be considered a couple or even as man and woman. Eunhwan understood her position. Even if she felt like she was being torn apart by pleasure, it was not because she was in the man’s embrace. She could not expect affection as a woman. After all, she was just a concubine.
“Ah, ha, heeek, ahh…”
“Lips.”
In agony, he whispered softly as he caressed the p*lvis that was thrusting backward. His gaze was fixed on one spot. Eunhwan, not knowing what to say, simply clutched the pillowcase. He, who had been teasing the waist while holding the plump chest, traced Eunhwan’s lips.
“Don’t hurt me.”
At the voice that touched him coolly as if covered with a light frost, Eunhwan was startled and tried to turn around. Then, soft lips touched his cheek.
“Shhh-.”
A gentle voice, as if soothing a child, froze Eunhwan. The person, who had been tracing the loose waistband, grabbed her buttocks. The hands kneading the firm cheeks like dough stimulated her arousal. Eunhwan, without realizing it, staggered and spread her legs.
He slid his lips from her earlobe. The ph*llus, like an iron club, thrust into the narrow h*le. It was a vigorous and rapid movement. S*men mixed with love juices made the junction area messy. Unable to withstand the pleasure, Eunhwan whimpered and tried to turn her body. The emperor held her tighter and inserted his hand through the gap between her spread legs.
“Ahh, ugh! No, ugh! Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Help, please help! Ahh!”
Eunhwan writhed and convulsed. Just the thought of the thrusting made her feel like she was losing her mind. Meanwhile, the emperor was causing chaos, even curling her toes. Unable to bear it any longer, Eunhwan reached back, pushing against his chest and sobbing.
“Hwanhwan.”
The emperor murmured softly to Eunhwan, who was sobbing while twisting her chest. Eunhwan opened her eyes and looked up at the man. The emperor made a stern face at her, who habitually tried to bite her lip. She gasped in surprise and stopped breathing. Then she looked at the long scratch marks left on his broad chest. A sudden fear gripped her.
“Your Majesty… Oh, your health, sob…”
Suddenly overwhelmed by fear, Eunhwan shivered. The emperor glanced down at the red claw marks left on his chest, then lifted his head. The woman, terrified, was trembling not from pleasure but from fear. He looked at her with calm eyes and then turned her over as she desired. Eunhwan staggered as she tried to get up.
“Forgive me, forgive me. Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Please, please kill me.”
“When you used to ask to be saved, now you ask to be killed?”
He, who was rubbing the scratch marks on his chest, grabbed Eunhwan’s wrist. Eunhwan, who had her gaze fixed on the ground and her bre*sts sagging, was helplessly dragged and ended up under his chin. The emperor’s hand, which wasn’t holding her wrist, groped her plump thighs.
She looked down at the emperor’s hand rubbing her thigh, which had shrunk tightly. Whether he was enjoying the sensation or not, he stroked her thigh for a long time, then moved to her bre*sts and soon crawled between her legs.
“Umm…”
As the closed thighs parted and the hands groped the genit*ls, Eunhwan let out a suppressed moan. The emperor lifted Eunhwan, sat her on his thigh, and took her hand to his own genit*ls.
“What should we do about this?”
Even after several withdrawals and rejections, it was a remark made about the erect ph*llus. Eunhwan looked at him, not knowing what to say.
“Speak as the concubine of the emperor.”
“···‥.”

I felt like I should tell him to put it back in, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it. Eunhwan, who had been staring blankly at his jaw without the heat dissipating, slowly moved her hand. Each time she moved it up and down, the tendons bulged. He let out a suppressed groan while teasing her ni*ples, then slapped her bu*t.
Eunhwan quietly lifted her waist. With her legs spread apart, she positioned the ph*llus-like object into the h*le. However, it did not go in easily. When she suddenly tried to pull her waist down, she felt scared. Eunhwan looked at the emperor with bewildered eyes. The emperor was merely stroking Eunhwan’s waist.
“Your Majesty…”
“You need to spread the l*bia.”
“Your Majesty, hic, I…”
Eunhwan’s eyes were filled with tears as she choked back sobs. The emperor, who had been staring at her blankly, curled the corners of his lips. The line of his lips glided smoothly without hesitation. Eunhwan, still unable to bend at the waist, lost her balance and staggered. The emperor, who had been smiling, gazed at her with heavy eyes.
Eunhwan, not knowing what to do, twisted her face in sorrow. She was afraid of the emperor’s eyes, which were darkened with anger. She was terrified of making a mistake every time she was summoned. She felt that if the emperor even hardened his face for a moment, she wouldn’t die a peaceful death. Eunhwan trembled and slowly retreated.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, her arm was grabbed. She was pulled into the emperor’s embrace. When she came to her senses, her forehead pressed against his chest, she felt as if a metal skewer had pierced through her legs, impaled by the object.
“Sniff-.”
The emperor stared at Eunhwan, who was hiccuping in surprise. Eunhwan tried to calm her breathing, her cheeks flushed. However, it didn’t go as planned, and she only broke out in a cold sweat. The man who had been looking down at her wrapped his arm around her neck.
Eunhwan hesitated, wrapping her arms around his neck and feeling the movement of his waist. The emperor gently embraced her as she hiccuped. Then, he patted her back in rhythm with the movement of her waist.
“Ugh, hmm…”
The wet lips parted, and a moan escaped. The slower and gentler movements stimulated her even more. Long arms wrapped around her back. Her ni*ples pressed against her flat chest. Eunhwan focused on the sensation of her buttocks being lifted slightly.
“Ah! Huh! Ah, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”
It was a slow but certain pleasure. From the tips of the toes to the crown of the head. The sensation of chewing and swallowing numbed the entire body. Before long, the hiccups stopped, and only the sound of breathing accompanied the movements of the waist. The man pressed his lips against Eunhwan’s. The soft skin covered the wet lips.
“Open your eyes.”
Did she unknowingly close her eyes? The emperor commanded monotonously. Eunhwan opened her closed eyes and looked at him. Black… a well-like gaze. Eyes that were unfathomable and also impossible to guess were looking at her as if they were about to swallow her whole.
