#ZhongChi #鍾タル abo thought, emperor, alpha!Zhongli and concubine, omega!Childe. Brief GuiLi.
Childe is deeply in love with the Emperor of Liyue so he was really happy when Zhongli was willing to take him in as a concubine, even when he wasn’t from Liyue.

The brunette was
always so kind and gentle to him. He was treated well as a concubine. He had his own room in the palace, a few maids and good food. And Childe was never ever forced to do what he did not wish to.

Every now and then, they’d spend time together in the gardens, simply chatting and
enjoying each other’s presence.
Zhongli didn’t forcibly mark Childe either. He marked none of his concubines. The only person who he had marked was his empress, Guizhong. The couple were deeply in love and Childe knew better than to interfere, unlike the other concubines, who
Zhongli didn’t forcibly mark Childe either. He marked none of his concubines. The only person who he had marked was his empress, Guizhong. The couple were deeply in love and Childe knew better than to interfere, unlike the other concubines, who
seeked to be Zhongli’s one and only.
All was well until tragedy struck and Guizhong was assassinated. The culprits were caught and punished but Childe had a feeling that the true masterminds were still at large.

All was well until tragedy struck and Guizhong was assassinated. The culprits were caught and punished but Childe had a feeling that the true masterminds were still at large.
Zhongli was heartbroken and many people chose to take advantage of
that. People who seeked to be the next empress.
While Zhongli was swarmed by people, hoping to seize the opportunity, Childe stayed away.

While Zhongli was swarmed by people, hoping to seize the opportunity, Childe stayed away.
He did not fully understand what Zhongli was feeling. Childe saw the emperor enjoying his time with the other, prettier concubines so
he chose not to interfere. Then of course rumors about concubines and consorts being pregnant spread like wildfire within a couple of weeks.
Many were gossiping about who would become the new empress.
Childe on the other hand was seemingly left alone by Zhongli.

He could only assume that Zhongli was not interested in him.

One day, while Childe was enjoying tea in the gardens alone, Zhongli appeared. Childe stood up to bow, startled by his appearance. “Your majesty.”
Zhongli quickly waved for him to stand, “it’s been a
while, Tartaglia.”
“Indeed, your majesty. If I knew you were coming, I would’ve prepared something—“
“There’s no need. I simply had time and needed a breather. May I seat?”
“Oh- Of course, please, your majesty.”
Zhongli could sense the omega’s nervousness. And he had
“Indeed, your majesty. If I knew you were coming, I would’ve prepared something—“
“There’s no need. I simply had time and needed a breather. May I seat?”
“Oh- Of course, please, your majesty.”
Zhongli could sense the omega’s nervousness. And he had
established long ago that there was no need for Childe to use formalities. “Tartaglia, I’ve said before, there’s no need for formalities.”
“Oh, I-I’m sorry…”
Zhongli sighed quietly. Perhaps Childe was on edge because of all that had happened recently. The rumors and the
“Oh, I-I’m sorry…”
Zhongli sighed quietly. Perhaps Childe was on edge because of all that had happened recently. The rumors and the
assassination. He needed to take a new empress soon if he wanted stability in the palace. Zhongli was well aware of the struggle for power.
“How have you been?” Zhongli asked.
“I’ve been alright. Everyone’s been quite busy so I’ve mostly been training alone.”
“How have you been?” Zhongli asked.
“I’ve been alright. Everyone’s been quite busy so I’ve mostly been training alone.”
“I see. Good to hear.”
“Oh, right. Allow me to congratulate you.”
Zhongli raised an eyebrow. “What for?”
“I heard that you’ll be having a child soon—“
Zhongli shook his head, sighing again. “Even you have heard of the rumors. No one is bearing my child, I am sure of that. It
“Oh, right. Allow me to congratulate you.”
Zhongli raised an eyebrow. “What for?”
“I heard that you’ll be having a child soon—“
Zhongli shook his head, sighing again. “Even you have heard of the rumors. No one is bearing my child, I am sure of that. It
is simply a false rumor. Pay it no heed, Tartaglia.”
“Oh! I will, your—“ Childe went pink from embarrassment, catching himself before he said ‘your majesty’ again.
“Won’t you tell me what’s on your mind, Tartaglia? You’ve been acting rather strangely.” Zhongli asked.
“Oh! I will, your—“ Childe went pink from embarrassment, catching himself before he said ‘your majesty’ again.
“Won’t you tell me what’s on your mind, Tartaglia? You’ve been acting rather strangely.” Zhongli asked.
“Well… I’m just shocked you’re here…”
The expression on Zhongli’s face made it obvious that he did not believe Childe.
Knowing that he couldn’t hide his feelings, Childe gave in. “I just thought that you might… not be interested in me… anymore. And maybe we aren’t as close
The expression on Zhongli’s face made it obvious that he did not believe Childe.
Knowing that he couldn’t hide his feelings, Childe gave in. “I just thought that you might… not be interested in me… anymore. And maybe we aren’t as close
anymore. I was hoping to impress you… so maybe you won’t… kick me out…” His voice grew softer as he admitted his feelings. It felt as though he shouldn’t be doing it.
Zhongli softened, gently tucking a piece of Childe’s hair behind his ear. “My dear, I apologise if I made you
Zhongli softened, gently tucking a piece of Childe’s hair behind his ear. “My dear, I apologise if I made you
feel neglected. I’ve been horribly busy.”
“I— There’s no need to apologise! It’s not your fault. If- If anything, I should be sorry for not understanding—“ Childe stuttered. The emperor? Apologising to him? Things shouldn’t be that way.
“It’s okay. I believe that we agreed to
“I— There’s no need to apologise! It’s not your fault. If- If anything, I should be sorry for not understanding—“ Childe stuttered. The emperor? Apologising to him? Things shouldn’t be that way.
“It’s okay. I believe that we agreed to
meet here every week but I’ve failed to fulfil that promise. For that, I must apologise.”
“It— It’s alright… You’re a busy man.”
Zhongli smiled slightly, “let’s just chat as per usual, shall we?”
It didn’t take long for Childe to get comfortable around Zhongli again.
“It— It’s alright… You’re a busy man.”
Zhongli smiled slightly, “let’s just chat as per usual, shall we?”
It didn’t take long for Childe to get comfortable around Zhongli again.
They laughed and smiled, acting all goofy like two lovebirds.
“I really like you, Tartaglia.” Zhongli confessed.
“Oh, really?”
“Of course I do. You’re not like the others. You do not seek to be mine for power.”
Childe shrugged slightly, “I’m grateful for all you’ve given me
“I really like you, Tartaglia.” Zhongli confessed.
“Oh, really?”
“Of course I do. You’re not like the others. You do not seek to be mine for power.”
Childe shrugged slightly, “I’m grateful for all you’ve given me
and I wouldn’t dare ask for more.”
Zhongli watched the beautiful ginger talk. He didn’t think that he’d find new love this fast.
[Part 1 END]
