My Lady is well

Shen Yueyao looked at the delicious food on the table and couldn't help but lower her head and touch her stomach which was growling with hunger.

Her head still ached slightly, probably because she had eaten too little for dinner, and she was woken up by hunger while lying on the couch.

Jing Ruzhang put down the book in his hand and moved to sit beside the dining table.

"Come and dine with me."

Shen Yueyao was overjoyed. She controlled her temper and walked over to sit next to him.

His ink-black long hair was loose, with only a strand of hair on the front tied casually behind his back with a hairband. He looked less stern and more lazy.

The flickering candlelight reflected in his eyes, his pupils were as deep and shallow as amber, and actually revealed a hint of tenderness.

Shen Yueyao also let down her guard a little.

She knew the rules. Whenever the eunuch who was tasting the food picked up a dish, she would also put it on the plate in front of Jing Ruzhang, and then she would eat the rest on her own.

Seeing that she ate like a beggar who had been hungry for three days, Jing Ruzhang could not help but frown slightly and looked at her with a half-smile.

"What's the matter? Did Yuntai Pavilion treat you unfairly? Or did someone dare to deduct your rations?"

Shen Yueyao quickly stopped eating, raised her head and replied.

"I guess I didn't have a good appetite at dinner."

"The imperial physician said that you have caught a cold. It has been snowing these few days, so you should stay in Zelu Palace for the time being. You don't have to travel back and forth."

Shen Yueyao's eyes moved and she put down her chopsticks. In her heart, she actually wanted to go back. Here she had to look at his face. How could she be as comfortable as in her own territory?

So she politely declined.

"I feel that I am well again. Staying here might disturb His Majesty's rest. I'd better go back to Yuntai Pavilion."

Jing Ruzhang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at her with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"Don't you think that what I said is a consultation with you?"

Shen Yueyao knew that she couldn't beat the opponent, so she had to give in, still with a flattering smile on her face.

"Then I'm sorry to bother the emperor."

Jing Ruzhang only ate a few bites of food, but he seemed to be in a particularly good mood today and even drank two glasses of wine.

She continued to enjoy the food, occasionally reaching out to touch her collar, which still felt a little wet.

"Call your maid in to wait on you."

Shen Yueyao didn't expect him to be so generous today. She thought to herself, could he be planning something again?

She is set up as a villain, and when the protagonist suddenly treats her well, she becomes inexplicably wary.

After dinner, Jin'er came in and helped her take a bath.

The palace maid presented a snow-white satin nightgown to Shen Yueyao, who was puzzled.

"This dress..."

"In reply to Shen Baolin, this was specially found by the Emperor, who said that the clothes were not suitable for Baolin."

Jin Er smiled and said, "Master, the Emperor treats you very well."

Shen Yueyao just said calmly: "Put it aside, Jin'er will serve you here."

She was not as optimistic as Jin'er, and thought that there must be some conspiracy waiting for her ahead.

Sometimes she even wondered if she was suffering from paranoia?

When she came out from behind the curtain, she saw Jing Ruzhang sitting on a soft chair, with one elbow resting on the tea table, supporting his forehead.

When Shen Yueyao walked past him, his hand was suddenly held by her and she frowned.

Before I had time to think, I was brought into a warm chest.

She was a little panicked and subconsciously put her arms around his neck.

The faint scent of agarwood and his body temperature enveloped her, making her feel particularly intimate in this cozy temple.

Jin'er blushed and said, "Look, the emperor likes his master."

She lowered her head, smiled awkwardly, and walked out sensibly.

Shen Yueyao's pair of watery eyes were filled with panic. She met his burning eyes and struggled for a moment, but then listened to him.

"Don't move!"

She stiffened her body, lowered her head, and really didn't dare to act rashly.

Eunuch Luo was the happiest person, smiling with great satisfaction. He had no idea what the emperor was playing with Shen Baolin, and he was getting anxious watching from the side.

Sending this today and that tomorrow, isn’t it all because you want to see the person?

You are the emperor. If you want to see a concubine, can't you just flip her name card? And every time you flip it, forget it.

Why are you still pretending to be reserved when we meet today? After two glasses of wine, won't everything be settled?

He waved his hand, signaling the palace servants standing guard in the hall to leave.

Jing Ruzhang held her small chin with his slender hand and ordered.

"Look at me."

Shen Yueyao saw that the corners of his eyes were slightly red, his eyes were dark, and his pupils reflected her current appearance.

Her cheeks turned slightly red as he held them, as if they were stained with rouge. Her moist lips were slightly open, and he pressed them with his fingertips.

Shen Yueyao saw something in his blazing eyes. She was not feeling well today and did not want to get entangled with him. She wanted to hook her arm around his neck to gain some strength to get up.

"Shen Yueyao, I told you not to move!"

The usual coldness in his eyes was gone, and he looked like a beast that wanted to dismantle her and eat her.

As they got closer, she felt that the strong aroma of alcohol on him was almost making her drunk, and her voice became a little woozy.

"Let me go."

He ignored her timid and soft voice, and tightened her waist with one hand and held the back of her neck with the other.

The unresistable kiss pressed down, one moment vaguely eager, the next gentle and lingering.

Shen Yueyao felt a little breathless from the kiss, and her pretty face was messed up by him. Only after the long kiss ended did she get a chance to catch her breath.

She felt that he was emitting a dangerous aura.

"Your Majesty, you...you..."

Before she could finish, the oppressive feeling of having nowhere to hide came over her again, and he leaned in close and bit lightly on her thin collarbone.

He buried his head in her beautiful shoulders, put his thin lips close to her ear, and asked in a low and deep voice.

"Shen Yueyao, why are you running away? Isn't it good to stay by my side? Do you hate me so much?"

She actually heard a hint of grievance and accusation in these words.

It must be an illusion.

Didn't he just drink two glasses? How strong was the alcohol?

Could it be that Luo Zhong was trying to fool him with fake wine?

Besides, what is there for him to feel wronged about?

A single word could determine life and death, but she could only yield and obey.

Her long eyelashes flickered a few times and she looked at him innocently.

"Your Majesty......Your Majesty......"

She hesitated for a long time and couldn't utter a word.

"Can you not run away?" I heard him murmur again, with a hint of pleading in his voice.

Who can resist this?

Shen Yueyao was distracted for a moment and thought to herself that of course she should run if she had the chance.

However, at this time, you should go along with him.

"I won't run away, I won't run away..."

He got a satisfactory answer, stood up and carried her to the couch.

I don’t know if it was because he was drunk, but his movements at night were particularly gentle.

The cold wind came in through the windows and was warmed by the temperature inside the hall.

After all the tossing and turning, all the complicated thoughts turned into deep sleep in this quiet night.
