Zhaoyue placed the arranged branches in a golden glass vase. He Quan pushed the door open and came in with a distant look on his face, but in his eyes there was a look of grievance that she could understand.

She held back her laughter and said, "What's wrong? You ran away when the emperor came? Normally, Taoxi is not allowed to serve me, but only you are allowed to come?"

He Quan watched her put the crabapple flowers away and smiled charmingly.

He placed the newly made steamed dew cake next to her and said, "My eyes hurt just watching this."

His amber eyes fell on the red paint on the table, and he didn't look at her as if he was angry.

Zhao Yue pretended not to understand, sat on the couch and put the cake to her red lips, praising: "It's delicious, is it made according to Concubine Fang's recipe?"

She had already changed into the dress she wore to meet His Majesty, and now she was looking at him slyly with her chin propped up, looking very cute.

I used to tease him.

He Quan said nothing.

Zhao Yue grabbed his sleeve and shook it: "Okay, don't be angry, the flowers I gave to Your Majesty were arranged by Tao Xi."

She tilted her head and stared at him with her fox eyes, which were filled with a pool of honey.

He Quan then held her hand, interlocked his fingers with hers, sat beside her, and forcefully brought her into his arms. His hoarse voice fell into Zhao Yue's ears.

"I thought I could hold it in, but every time I saw you smiling at others, I felt..."

"Just what?" Zhao Yue asked with a smile.

"My lady, do you think that I am easily jealous? Do you think that I am ignorant?" He Quan's voice became smaller and smaller.

Zhao Yue was in a very good mood when a big guy like him lingered beside her and hummed. She stretched out her hand and gently scratched his chin: "Little Quanzi is so cute."

He Quan was stunned, his fair eyelids turned red instantly, and the small mole on the bridge of his nose was charming, but it couldn't cover up the stupidity that he exuded.

He opened his lips but did not refute. He held Zhaoyue's hand tightly and said, "You are only allowed to tease me."

"Okay, I'm just teasing you." Zhao Yue naturally agreed with him and coaxed him: "Those sachets were not embroidered by me, but by Qiu Ju and the others. I held an embroidery competition, and they embroidered non-stop just to get my reward."

"What reward?"

"A hairpin." Zhao Yue smiled.

He Quan's eyes were full of understanding. He took out a sachet and handed it to her: "Who is the first?"

"Of course it's Taoxi." Zhaoyue took the sachet and looked at the very poorly done stitching on it, as well as the patterns of two crabapple flowers. The one at the back was like its shadow, sticking closely to it.

Noticing the temperature around her drop, she immediately hummed, "However, today, after seeing the sachet embroidered by Xiao Quanzi, I finally understood that there are always people who are better than you and there are always things that are better than you."

She looked at He Quan and said, "Little Quan, whatever reward you want, any hairpin or hairpin, just pick it up!"

He Quan looked at her face, his eyes falling from her eyes to her red lips, and he smiled a little ruffian: "I don't want those vulgar things."

He reached out and held the back of Zhaoyue's head. Before she could react, he kissed her lips. He only kissed her once and raised his eyes: "Breathe."

Zhao Yue took a deep breath.

He came over again, entwining his lips and tongue with hers, kissing her until her head was dizzy. His kiss was always gentle, yet firm and determined, leaving her nowhere to escape.

He Quan let her go only when her eyes were wet. He panted slightly and, like a vixen who had succeeded, he rolled his fingertips over her red lips.

"This is all I want."

Zhao Yue buried herself limply in his arms.

Really defeated.

Taoxi was about to come in at the door, but suddenly stopped and knocked on the door tentatively.

He Quan's voice came: "I will serve you, my lady."

She answered immediately, turned around and left cleanly.

Phew, that was close. I almost got attacked by Xiao Quanzi again.

The night is dark, the stars are sparse, and the breeze is gentle.

Your Majesty did not turn over anyone's name tonight and stayed in the Yangxin Palace.

He Quan clung to Zhao Yue and kissed her several times, and she finally spoke: "Okay, that's really outrageous!"

He lowered his eyes, looking pitiful: "Last time I made a bet with you, I didn't ask for a reward even though I won. I want it back now."

After saying that, he came back to pester me again.

Every time the emperor came, he was always particularly clingy, and Zhaoyue wanted to let him be.

Her lips turned red from his kiss, and she finally couldn't help it and pressed him under her.

She rode on him very arrogantly, and nodded slightly: "My lips are swollen. How can I pay my respects to the imperial concubine when I go to the imperial concubine's palace? If you do this again, I will strip you of your clothes."

She squinted her eyes in a vicious manner: "Are you afraid? I will poke your belly and touch your butt."

He Quan, however, curled his lips and looked at her, with a casual attitude: "Slave, I couldn't ask for more."

"You!" Shameless.

Zhao Yue snorted: "You wish."

She leaned in He Quan's arms: "Prince Duan Ze is coming to the palace today, aren't you going to see him?"

"Why are you seeing him?" He Quan played with her little hand. He could hold it in one hand. It was so soft and delicate, and it felt comfortable to pinch it.

"You go out of the palace to see him every day, but today he comes into the palace and you don't see him."

Zhaoyue found it funny.

He Quan suddenly asked: "Zhao Zhao, do you want to see him?"

"Sure." Zhao Yue didn't hear clearly, and when she came to her senses, she stared at He Quan: "Me? I'm going to see King Duan Ze?"

"I don't have your ability to go to heaven and earth, and he is the prince, and I am the concubine. It is not appropriate to meet in the palace."

"I know how to use human skin. My lady can change clothes now." He Quan said calmly, not caring about the palace rules and the Imperial Guards at all.

Zhao Yue: "Why do I want to see King Duan Ze?"

"He is the only one who can be called a family member in this world." He Quan lowered his eyes and curled his fingers slightly.

It turned out that he wanted to take her to meet his family.

Zhao Yue held his hand tightly: "Okay, I want to meet him too."

I think the last time I saw King Duan Ze was in my previous life.

It is really amazing that such a cowardly prince could plot to force the emperor to abdicate quietly and endure hardships for several years just to kill with one blow.

Seeing that she agreed, He Quan was touched. He touched Zhao Yue's cheek and said, "I will help you dress up."

He was willing to peel off all of himself bit by bit, inch by inch, so that Zhaoyue could see it, just hoping that she would not be afraid and would not leave.

Hiding the sadness in her eyes, she smiled and said, "I'll go get a piece of Taoxi's clothes."

After putting on a human skin mask for her, her stunning face became ordinary, but her eyes were still charming. He Quan put on a maid's hairpin for her and said, "My lady, please go to Houhai later. I will go first."

"Okay." Zhao Yue looked at his ordinary appearance and pinched his face: "Do we look like an ordinary couple now?"

He Quan tapped her forehead: "It is."
