The maid Lan'er came over and helped her up. Ning Ruxin smiled faintly: "Sister is tired, I will take my leave first."

Zhao Yue saw Yan Yang standing next to her carriage and understood: "Slow down."

Taoxi put the cloak on her and said, "My lady, let's go back too."

Zhao Yue looked at the full moon and sighed, "Okay."

She turned back to the stall, but the bracelet she wanted had been sold. The Imperial Guards were following her in secret. She no longer had the heart to go shopping and got on the carriage in a sullen manner.

But as soon as she entered, she saw He Quan sitting in her seat, smiling with his thin lips: "My lady has been shopping for a long time, and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhaoyue's face turned cold and she turned to leave, but he reached out and grabbed her sleeve.

He just exerted a little force and Zhaoyue was brought into his arms.

She frowned: "You!"

"My servant is so bold again?" He was already used to what Zhaoyue was going to say.

Zhao Yue had no choice but to swallow her words, looking at his exceptionally handsome face, she stretched out her hand and placed it between them, pushing his chest, and warned him in a low voice: "There are Yulin Guards outside, don't be too conspicuous."

He Quan smelled her fragrance, which was the same scent as the Begonia sachet he wore day and night, blending together in the narrow carriage.

Intimacy is inseparable.

"Yulin Guards listen to Yan Yang. I'm afraid he's not much better than a servant at this moment." He opened the curtain, and Zhao Yue subconsciously buried her head in his arms: "Are you crazy?"

Tao Xi called out from outside: "Young Master? What's wrong with you?"

Zhaoyue opened her eyes and found that the carriage was heading towards the temple on a small road, and more than half of the Yulin Guards were missing, following from a distance.

"It's okay." She replied.

He Quan lowered the curtain, pulled her waist closer to him, and let her sit on his lap: "Concubine Ning's carriage is just a hundred meters away. I saw Yan Yang get on it, and then they changed the route."

Seeing that he couldn't break free, Zhao Yue simply found a comfortable position: "Humph, you don't look like a eunuch, but more like Zhu Dingyuan's secret guard. Any movement will not escape your eyes."

He Quan chuckled and handed her the things behind him.

"What's this."

Zhaoyue opened it and found candied haws wrapped in white oil paper inside. The maltose syrup on top was still warm, and the sweet smell kept tempting her taste buds.

She swallowed her saliva, still with a cold face: "I'm not a child anymore, why buy these."

"Really?" He Quan took out the candied haws and fed it to her lips, and said seductively: "When I saw you standing there just now, my eyes were fixed on you."

The candied haws were covered with crystal syrup. When it touched her lips, Zhaoyue felt the sweetness in her heart before she even put it in her mouth.

Her face turned red: "You begged me to eat it, I don't want to waste food."

Xiao Xiao took a bite and it was as sweet as expected. She reached out to take it, but He Quan suddenly pulled away and fed it to her lips under her stunned gaze: "Don't dirty my hand."

"I'm not a child..." She muttered again, but He Quan remained unmoved.

She took another bite, and her cheeks had turned as red as peaches. She felt really embarrassed. She had lived two lifetimes, but had never been fed like this in someone's arms.

"Ahem..." Zhao Yue shook her head and said weakly, "I don't want to eat anymore."

He Quan looked at the slightly injured candied haws and frowned: "Isn't it delicious? Doesn't the young master love sweet food the most?"

"No, it's not." It tasted delicious, but she really couldn't eat it. After being fed by him for a while, her whole body felt like it was going to evaporate.

"Keep it for now. I'll eat it when I get back." Zhao Yue pushed his hand away and tried to get out of his arms.

He Quan suddenly groaned from his throat: "Don't move."

"What on earth do you want!"

This man was really moody. He wanted to push her away, but also wanted to tease her. Zhao Yue couldn't help but glare at her. Who was afraid of who? He was not a man anyway.

Zhao Yue didn't move: "It's up to you, if you want to hug me, then hug me."

"My lady..." He Quan leaned close to her neck.

The hot air sprayed over Zhao Yue, and she felt itchy. She couldn't help but curl her lips, but then quickly frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Don't hate me...my lady..." He whispered again and looked up at Zhaoyue.

He was really born with great looks, with attractive amber eyes, a delicate nose and thin, pale lips. At this moment, he deliberately showed weakness to her with a wronged look, which hit Zhaoyue's heart hard.

She hastily looked away.

This was the first time she saw He Quan like this, trying to please her and acting coquettishly towards her.

"I, when did I say I hate you?" Zhao Yue actually stuttered.

He Quan took out a clean handkerchief from in front of him, revealing an emerald green bracelet inside. The color was muddy and it was obviously a defective product at first glance.

It was the one she saw at the stall!

Zhao Yue picked up the bracelet: "Did you buy it?"

"Well, my lady has been looking at it, so I bought it. I just saw you go back." He Quan saw that she was happy and smiled: "Fortunately, I bought it."

Zhaoyue looked at the bracelet and was very happy, but her eyes were misty. She wanted this bracelet because it looked very much like the only thing her mother left her.

Even though she knew that this was not it.

She sniffed and forced back her tears, but they still fell like beads from a broken string. Zhao Yue hugged He Quan: "Thank you, He Quan."

"Why are you crying?" He Quan asked nervously.

Zhao Yue wiped her tears and said, "I thought of my mother. She gave me a bracelet like this before."

She smiled and clutched the bracelet tightly: "Thank you so much."

He Quan looked at her red eyes with pity in his eyes, and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

He was confused. How could her mother, the wife of the Minister of Rites and the hereditary daughter of the Chen family, wear such a crude bracelet?

How could he give this thing to his own daughter?

Looking at Zhaoyue's profile as he stared at the bracelet with utmost seriousness, the cherishment in his eyes could not be faked.

Not right.

But he didn't ask, and coaxed Zhaoyue softly: "Don't cry, Taoxi will think you are being bullied if you see it later."

Zhao Yue snorted: "Since when did you follow me?"

"Well... probably it started when the young master couldn't walk anymore because of the candied haws?" He Quan blinked.

In fact, he followed her as soon as she left the temple.

Thinking of Zhu Dingyuan taking her to the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth, He Quan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, but his tone was still teasing: "If the young master takes a fancy to something else, I will go bankrupt."

Zhao Yue put away the bracelet and lay in his arms: "Really... I shouldn't have come back... Oh."

He Quan pretended to beg for mercy helplessly, lowering his eyes to glance at the person in his arms, but his eyes were filled with a doting and tenderness that he was not even aware of.

The carriage moved slowly, quietly and peacefully.

He thought, just keep going like this.

He Quan's ears moved and he heard a subtle noise: "My lady, Concubine Ning's carriage is nearby."

Zhao Yue straightened up and opened the curtain a little. As expected, she saw a carriage parked on the side road, but it was not Ning Ruxin's carriage. "She changed carriages?"

"There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Let her enjoy herself for a while." Thinking that Ning Ruxin did not provoke her, Zhao Yue decided to turn a blind eye: "Do you think she has taken contraceptive soup?"

Zhaoyue felt inexplicably gloating. If she was pregnant, it would be Zhu Dingyuan's first surprise.

He Quan: My lady, please have some candied haws!

Zhaoyue: Chew chew chew, little Quanzi, who will still treat me as a child without you! mua.
