return from lanling

[shangba]

A full moon, unblinking.

You did not sleep, to see?

Comments

[shangba]

A mannered portrait.

[emperorssmile]

I’ll just have to be satisfied with my imagination since you won’t let me draw your portrait nude.

[shangba]

What sacrifice from Wei Ying.

[emperorssmile]

Wouldn’t Lan Zhan like a portrait of me nude?

[shangba]

Would loathe it.

[emperorssmile]

Ouch. It’s a good thing I know you find me irresistible in person.

[shangba]

A nude portrait of Wei Ying would require an artist viewing the subject.

[emperorssmile]

You don’t want anyone to see what’s yours.

Still the same feeling if the artist doesn’t like guys like that?

[shangba]

Wei Ying.

If you wish it done, it will be done. Do you?

[emperorssmile]

No, it’s not necessary unless it’s something you’d like.

I don’t need a nude portrait of you, either. I just wanted an excuse to look at you naked for a while.

[shangba]

One portrait of you.

May I be present?

[emperorssmile]

You really want one? Of course, you can be there.

Does that mean I can have one of you, too?

[shangba]

It pains me to refuse.

But if a portrait of a nude son of the main house ever falls in public hands, the shame would not be mine alone.

[emperorssmile]

Lan Zhan, you really don’t have to do it.

I can worship your body with actions instead of possessions.

[shangba]

I do not wish you to believe I deny only to deny.

As Sizhui considers.

[emperorssmile]

I get it. Even if you just didn’t want to do it, that’s fine too. I love you and your body and I’m lucky I get to experience it so much.

[shangba]

Of the second portrait.

May I make a request?

[emperorssmile]

Is it that you want it to be tasteful?

[shangba]

It will be. My husband knows my taste already.

I wish his hair half-down, half low-bound.

[emperorssmile]

You’ll be there with me, so you can have full access to how you want me to look. It’s for you.

[shangba]

Thank you.

It is as you wore it, before.

[emperorssmile]

I remember.

Would you like me to style it like that sometimes or just for the portrait?

[shangba]

Only as you wish.

[emperorssmile]

I mostly wore it that way because it was easy.

Did you like I how looked back then?

[shangba]

Flattery chaser.

Of course.
