The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

Zhao Yue subconsciously looked at He Quan, who lowered his voice and said, "I will withdraw first." He quickly hid behind the screen and avoided the approaching His Majesty.

Zhu Dingyuan only caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing upright. He came in from behind the screen and saw Zhaoyue leaning obediently on the bed, smiling at him, without getting up to greet him.

He focused all his attention on her and pretended to be angry: "How dare you! You don't even show respect when I come?"

It wasn't cold in here. Zhao Yue was wearing a white and black silk skirt. She stretched out her hand lazily and twirled her hair. Her eyes were watery as she stood up softly. "Your Majesty said last time that when there was no one around, I didn't need to perform formalities when I saw you. It's been so short and your Majesty has forgotten."

When she saluted, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and she kept looking at Zhu Dingyuan. Every move she made exuded a seductive meaning. The crabapple flowers in the four corners of the attic were in full bloom, like twined flowers embellishing the night.

Zhu Dingyuan narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, and a tingling sensation surged through his body again.

Every time he saw her, his eyes lit up.

The way she was dressed today, she was like the most gorgeous stroke in a landscape painting. Her silk skirt was tightened at the waist, showing off her exquisite body proudly.

She was like a fairy, sucking away the life force of the living and becoming more and more beautiful.

Zhu Dingyuan reached out his hand to lift her up, skillfully brought her into his arms, and let her sit on his lap.

Zhaoyue turned her face away and said nothing.

"I was just teasing you, what did you say to me just now?"

"Hmph." Zhao Yue still didn't speak.

Zhu Dingyuan looked at her drooping long eyelashes and coaxed her good-temperedly, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. Yue'er will not remember the mistakes of a gentleman, okay?"

"I just asked why the charcoal fire changed."

"I know you are afraid of the cold, and the charcoal is choking. I don't want you to suffer."

He glanced at the surroundings and said, "Yue'er is beautiful and smart. Look at this attic. I like it every time I see it. I will come here often in the future, okay?"

"Your Majesty treats me very well."

Zhu Dingyuan seldom coaxed people, but he felt very comfortable being patient with her like this. Feeling her soft and boneless body, he felt a strong sensation and couldn't help but let out a low gasp.

He was not a lustful man, but he kept making mistakes with her. Thinking of the pain of longing and the absurd dream he had last night, he tightened his arms, as if he wanted to embed Zhaoyue in his arms.

Zhao Yue moved with a cry of pain, but heard him take a breath and stop her: "Don't move... uh..."

His voice became a little hoarse.

Zhao Yue sensed the danger signal and immediately stood still. She pursed her lips and suppressed the rejection in her heart: "Your Majesty... It's still a little cold up here, let's go down."

Zhu Dingyuan wanted to try something else, so he held her in his arms, face to face, with a slight blush on her soft cheeks. He smiled a bit wickedly, "I think this place is great. Now I can move around... Yue'er."

Damn hooligan.

Zhaoyue really didn't know that Zhu Dingyuan had such a side. In her previous life, she put a lot of effort in bed, but he was always indifferent and only thought of her once every two months.

Now, is what He Quan gave so powerful?

Seeing that she was actually in a daze, Zhu Dingyuan frowned and pressed Zhao Yue down on the bed: "What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Yue said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, you will be leaving the palace tomorrow and will have a long journey... For the sake of your health, Your Majesty should go to bed early today."

Zhu Dingyuan stopped moving, as if he was persuaded. Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second he grabbed her wrist: "But I don't want to."

The drowsy feeling came back. Zhaoyue tried hard to open her eyes and push him away, but she was too weak to do so. She was flipped over by him and her clothes fell to the ground.

The force on his body suddenly became lighter, and Zhu Dingyuan seemed like a different person. He picked her up with utmost tenderness.

"Well... Your Majesty..." She opened her mouth to ask what was wrong.

She was overwhelmed by sleepiness. Her body was slightly cool against hers. He held her tightly, his chin close to her forehead, breathing softly. She heard a very shallow voice: "Go to sleep..."

What's wrong, Your Majesty?

Zhaoyue fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was already daybreak. Perhaps because they knew that the emperor and empress had left the palace to pray for the world, the sky was clear with white clouds floating in the air.

She was covered with a thick blanket. Zhao Yue stretched out her hand. He Quan just came up and said, "My lady is awake. His Majesty has been gone for half an hour."

"I don't know what happened, I was so sleepy yesterday." Zhao Yue stretched and said, "Did you cover me with the quilt?"

"I asked Taoxi to bring it up. My young master, you are accompanying His Majesty in making trouble. You should also remember that it is not summer now. You dare to sleep on it."

"I was wrong, I was wrong." Zhao Yue didn't want to listen to his nagging, so she immediately admitted her mistake in a very good manner.

He Quan then shut up: "Wash up, we'll set off after breakfast."

After Zhaoyue got dressed, she secretly asked Taoxi while having breakfast: "Was it you who brought the quilt yesterday?"

"Well, Xiao Quanzi said it's colder at night." Taoxi's face was red, and she didn't dare to look at her.

"What's wrong? You're like a thief."

"My lady, you and His Majesty made a lot of noise last night... When I went upstairs, I saw His Majesty holding you the whole time."

……

Zhao Yue's face froze: "You...really saw it."

"I didn't mean to peek, my lady. I felt that His Majesty really liked you, and he asked me not to wake you up during the morning court today."

what happened.

Is it really His Majesty?

Zhaoyue recalled the strange feeling in her heart. She obviously shouldn't question Taoxi's words, but why did some thoughts keep popping up again and again?

Taoxi would not lie to her.

"What's wrong with you, my lady? Why do you look so bad? Did you choke on a cold wind? I knew the quilt we got yesterday was not thick enough. Don't worry, my lady. I'll go pack the medicine." Taoxi left in a hurry.

He Quan came in: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Yue's eyes flashed: "What were you doing last night?"

"Yesterday? Yesterday, after I told Taoxi about it, I left the palace. I was afraid that my lady would be bored on the way, so I bought a lot of cakes from Yihezhai and some storybooks. I only came back this morning." He Quan picked up the bundle of books in his hand.

Zhao Yue lowered her eyes: "I'm full, tell Tao Xi, and let's go when you're ready."

Heading to the palace gate, Zhu Dingyuan ordered sedan chairs to be prepared for all the concubines who were going there.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor and Empress went out from the main gate, and the concubines went out from the south gate to join them. When they arrived at the palace gate, Zhao Yue secretly lifted the curtain and saw that the Yulin Guards were indeed following the Emperor's carriage with a grand momentum.

Tao Xi sat next to her and said, "My lady, Xiao Quanzi can actually ride a horse. Look at him in his casual clothes. He doesn't look like a eunuch at all."

Zhao Yue closed the curtain and said jokingly, "What's so good about it, Xiao Taoxi? Look at the Yulin Guards in the back and see if there's any you like. When your young master is well, ask His Majesty to show you mercy, okay?"

"They are all royal relatives and good men with good family backgrounds."

"My lady!" Taoxi's face turned red with embarrassment.
