Chapter 53 Lu Jingning is Drunk

"Chun'er, go prepare a pot of wine for me," Lu Jingning suddenly thought of a brilliant plan.

Chun'er nodded obediently: "Yes, this servant will go right away."

Following Lu Jingning's instructions, Chun'er hurriedly went to the small kitchen to fetch a pot of warm wine.

Lu Jingning took the wine glass; under the moonlight, the wine shimmered with an amber luster.

She smiled gently, raised her glass, tilted her head back, and drank five cups in a row.

"Your Highness has quite the capacity for alcohol!"

Chun'er was already dumbfounded. Her mistress usually didn't drink a drop of alcohol, so this was truly a rare sight.

Five glasses of wine rolled down her throat, slid into her heart, and quickly flushed her cheeks with two rosy clouds.

Seeing that she was slightly drunk, Xia'er asked with concern, "Are you alright, my lady?"

Lu Jingning remained conscious: "I'm fine. When the Emperor arrives, go out to greet him and draw all the beaded curtains in the hall. Don't tell the Emperor what I'm doing, understand?"

After speaking, Lu Jingning entered the hall and began to dance gracefully.

"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

After speaking, Chun'er and Xia'er followed Lu Jingning's instructions and lowered all the beaded curtains in the hall and lit incense burners.

When Xiao Jingheng arrived with a group of guards and eunuchs, he sent a young eunuch ahead to Chengqian Palace to inform them of the arrival.

Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, the announcement came: "The Emperor has arrived!"

Chun'er and Xia'er exchanged a glance and then hurried out to greet them.

When Xiao Jingheng arrived at the gate of Chengqian Palace, he found only a few servants to greet him, with no sign of Lu Jingning.

Where is your young master?

Under the moonlight, Xiao Jingheng's elegant figure stood out.

Xia'er quickly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, the young mistress...she..."

"Why don't you tell me what your young master is doing?" Xiao Jingheng's deep, icy eyes looked towards Lu Jingning's palace.

"Let's invite His Majesty in to take a look."

Xia'er shifted her body to the side, inviting Xiao Jingheng inside.

Xiao Jingheng's interest was piqued; he wanted to see what tricks Lu Jingning would pull.

He slowly entered the bedchamber, and through the beaded curtain, he could see Lu Jingning's hazy figure.

The beaded curtain rustled softly, like fine rain falling on a jade plate. He lifted it one by one until a bright and clear view appeared before him.

The moonlight, like a fine veil, gently enveloped Lu Jingning. She wore an ice silk nightgown, with the twin lotus flower pattern embroidered on the lapel appearing and disappearing.

Her shoulders were partially exposed, and her skin glowed faintly in the moonlight. A red ribbon was faintly visible among her loose hair.

She twirled, her skirt billowing like the most dazzling fireworks on a summer night, every movement exuding endless tenderness and elegance.

Xiao Jingheng stared at her, as if the whole world had stopped, only her dance stirred ripples in the lake of his heart.

Lu Jingning abruptly stopped spinning, like a fox that had caught the scent of its prey, its eyes gleaming with cunning.

With a light leap, she skillfully used the momentum of her dance to fall into Xiao Jingheng's arms.

Lu Jingning's hair drew a graceful arc in the air, gently brushing against his cheek and leaving a faint fragrance.

"Your Majesty~" Lu Jingning's voice was sweet and seductive, with a hint of languor and allure after drinking. She nestled tightly against Xiao Jingheng's broad chest, as if she wanted to completely merge herself into his body.

Under the moonlight, her slightly flushed face was tinged with an alluring blush, and her eyes sparkled with an unprecedented light, causing Xiao Jingheng's heart to flutter.
This was a side of Lu Jingning he had never seen before; normally, she was innocent and lively.

Tonight, she was like a cunning little fox, breathtakingly beautiful and intoxicatingly dangerous.

"Are you drunk?" Xiao Jingheng asked, holding her as he smelled the alcohol on her.

"No way, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!" Lu Jingning twirled out of his embrace and continued dancing.

Taking advantage of her inattention, Xiao Jingheng reached out and gently grabbed her arm, teasingly asking, "Little drunkard, are you not drunk when you call me that?"

With that tug, Lu Jingning's outermost layer of gauze fell off, leaving her completely naked, which was then revealed to him.

She was about to run away when she lost her balance, and Lu Jingning exclaimed, "Ah?"

He instinctively reached out and grabbed Xiao Jingheng's strong arm that was just in time.

Their strength intertwined, and they both collapsed onto the soft bed.

Xiao Jingheng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly beneath her lips, while Lu Jingning's eyes narrowed and a mischievous smile played on her lips.

She gently and slowly placed a kiss on his Adam's apple, like a butterfly lightly touching the morning dew, yet with an undeniable heat.

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of their rapid and disordered breathing.

Her alluring face was etched into Xiao Jingheng's eyes.

At this moment, the emperor's heart beat only for her.

Xiao Jingheng grasped Lu Jingning's soft, slender waist.

"You little devil!"

Lu Jingning pressed her small face against Xiao Jingheng's broad chest, her voice tinged with grievance: "Does Arui not love me anymore?"

Xiao Jingheng looked into her wet eyes: "Why do you say that?"

"You haven't come to see me for days," Lu Jingning said, feeling a little aggrieved and angry. She turned her face away and refused to look at him again.

A hint of doting flashed in Xiao Jingheng's eyes. He sighed softly, his voice so gentle it could melt water: "It was Arui who was wrong."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingning's lips curled up slightly, but he still feigned arrogance: "Where did Arui go wrong? I want to hear it clearly."

Xiao Jingheng took her hand and placed it on his heart, his gaze sincere: "Arui was wrong to not come to see Zhaozhao for several days. Zhaozhao, you can punish me however you like."

Lu Jingning felt a warmth in her heart, but pretended not to believe it. She gently pulled her hand away and tried to turn her head away again.

Xiao Jingheng reacted quickly and hugged her tightly, their noses touching.

Lu Jingning's eyes were full of smiles, and she parted her cherry lips slightly to place a kiss on his lips: "My aunt said that a good child is one who knows their mistakes and can correct them. I forgive you. You must come to see me more often in the future. I can't live without you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingheng's eyes flashed with surprise, followed by deep emotion.

He gazed at Lu Jingning, as if trying to etch her image into his heart forever: "Why?"

Under the moonlight, Lu Jingning's eyes shone with sincere light. She reached out and stroked Xiao Jingheng's face, pressing closer to his heart, and said earnestly and firmly, "You are my everything."

At that moment, Xiao Jingheng's heart felt as if it were being tightly enveloped by a warm current, or as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, beating violently as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

He could clearly hear his own heartbeat, mingling with Lu Jingning's breathing.

At that moment, he clearly realized that he had fallen in love with Lu Jingning.
