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

Cuiyun looked at Concubine Fang, who was sitting on the bed without saying a word, staring at the candle in a daze. She couldn't help but said distressedly, "Madam, please rest. The candles in Zi'e Garden are all out."

Concubine Fang seemed to wake up at this moment and chuckled: "Really..."

She reached out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Rest."

-

Inside Ningzhu Pavilion.

Zhaoyue asked Taoxi to apply medicine and went to bed early. When it was getting light, he felt itchy on his back and groaned a few times in discomfort on the bed.

But she was still sleepy and really didn't want to open her eyes, so she had to secretly rub her back against the satin. The material she was wearing was not soft enough and her back felt itchy and painful.

She whimpered in grievance.

Someone stopped her and coaxed her softly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

She was very carefully turned around and laid on the bed.

Zhaoyue's hair was very long, black and shiny, scattered on her back like seaweed. Someone pushed her hair aside, revealing her back in pajamas.

The hand that was suspended in the air hesitated for a long time, and finally pulled her pajamas down slightly, revealing her snow-white shoulders and neck.

His breathing slowed.

Because of the medicine, Zhaoyue wore summer pajamas, which were thin and transparent, but she did not consider the material, and it was embedded with gauze, which made her uncomfortable.

The man sighed, as if he thought she was stupid.

"The slave was too presumptuous..."

He spoke softly, so low it sounded like a whisper.

Then he scooped up the aloe vera juice that Su Ziyun mentioned with a white jade spatula, leaned over and applied it on Zhaoyue's skin which was covered with red spots.

"Hmm..." Zhaoyue hummed comfortably.

Her back was burning, painful and itchy, and suddenly something cool covered it. She felt so comfortable that her brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on her lips even as she slept.

The man also laughed: "Is it so comfortable..."

He looked at Zhaoyue's fair back, suppressed any thoughts that shouldn't have appeared, and concentrated on applying medicine for her.

The aloe vera was only cool for a short while after application and could not relieve her itching for a long time, so he stayed there and changed it for her once every half an incense stick.

It's already daybreak, it's almost time to leave.

The man put the medicine away, but a hand grabbed his sleeve. Zhao Yue's voice was soft and sweet in the dimness, with a nasal tone: "Who are you..."

She propped herself up and looked at him sideways. Her nightgown, which had not yet been pulled up, fell from her shoulders, revealing a large area of ​​her charming figure in front of her. The seductive semicircle caught the man's eye.

Zhao Yue was completely unaware of this, and boldly held his hand, trying to see him clearly with her fox eyes: "Why are you in my bed..."

She woke up immediately.

A knife struck her neck.

Zhao Yue fell back.

The man looked at her, his breathing became heavy, and he quickly pulled up her pajamas to cover the erotic scene he had not seen for a long time. Even his fingers were shaking. Then he wrapped her tightly with the quilt and slipped away through the window.

Half an hour later, Taoxi knocked on the door: "My lady, are you awake? I have to pay my respects today."

After shouting twice but no one responded, she pushed open the door, hung up the curtains, and shouted, "My lady! Your butt is getting hot in the sun!"

Zhao Yue suddenly opened his eyes: "What, what butt!"

Taoxi was helpless: "My lady, you went to bed so early yesterday, why are you still staying in bed?"

Zhao Yue saw Tao Xi's appearance and rubbed his neck with his hand: "Why does it hurt so much... It feels like someone hit me..."

"Did you get a stiff neck? Let me take a look..." Taoxi stepped forward and looked at her neck: "It's nothing, my lady. The red spots on your back have faded a lot."

"Really?" Zhao Yue moved his neck: "It should be a stiff neck."

"This pillow is newly bought by me. The Ministry of Internal Affairs said that it contains calming herbs that help with sleep. Even Concubine Gao is using it." Taoxi said.

"If you're not used to it, just change it back to the old one."

Zhao Yue stood up and stretched. "I don't know what I dreamed about yesterday. There was a dark mass in front of me. What kind of sleep is good or bad? The Ministry of Internal Affairs likes to do something fancy. Let's change it."

"Didn't I see the Imperial Concubine using it? I thought it was great." Tao Xi smiled and said, "My lady, please wash up quickly."

When Zhao Yue thought about paying respects today, her head became twice as big. With her promotion, there would definitely be another round of verbal battles.

Seeing that she looked listless, Taoxi hurried to find Xiao Quanzi.

He Quan prepared breakfast and brought it over: "The porridge is still hot, let's tie up the young lady's hair first."

Zhao Yue sat on the chair: "Can I not go? I am not feeling well."

"Where did the young master go yesterday?"

"Imperial Hospital, Imperial Garden, just take a walk..."

"You were so energetic yesterday when you were sick, but you fell ill after taking the medicine. Do you think the Queen believes it?"

"..." Zhao Yue bit her lip: "It doesn't look good, comb your hair again!"

He Quan lowered his head to look at her and touched her small earlobe: "It looks good. My lady is stunningly beautiful. No matter what hairstyle she wears, she will look good."

Zhao Yue snorted awkwardly: "You just want to be lazy." In fact, she tasted the sweetness in her heart, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly to reveal ripples.

He Quan placed his palm in front of her.

"what happened?"

He opened it and inside was a pair of emerald green round bead earrings with silver buckles inlaid on the outside, which looked elegant.

"This is..." Zhao Yue picked it up and asked, "My bracelet?"

He Quan hummed, took it and put it on her. His slightly cool fingertips stroked her earlobe, which made Zhaoyue feel tingling and itchy, as if there was an electric current, making her uncomfortable.

The earlobe visibly turned from white to pink.

After putting them on, he deliberately leaned over and flicked the earrings with his fingers, looking like a real playboy, teasing Zhaoyue: "It's the icing on the cake."

Even the human skin mask could not hide the handsomeness and elegance in the corners of his eyes.

Zhao Yue stood up quickly: "I'm hungry, I'm hungry, where did Tao Xi go?"

After breakfast, Zhaoyue took He Quan and Taoxi to Fengyi Palace to pay their respects as usual.

But today Zhu Dingyuan is here.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Her Majesty." They saluted.

"Please sit down." The queen raised her hand.

Zhu Dingyuan looked around and his eyes fell on Zhaoyue: "Aren't you feeling unwell? Why don't you take a rest?"

"I am fine. Thank you for your concern. It is customary to pay respects to the queen. I have to come."

Lingpin said, "I haven't congratulated Concubine Zhao yet. She was granted a hot spring bath and a promotion right after she came back. My sister is so sensible and polite. She is really a wonderful person."

There are no impenetrable walls in the palace. Everyone present already knew that she intercepted Concubine Fang last night and that His Majesty stayed at her place, and no one said much.

Zhu Dingyuan thought she was jealous, so he didn't blame her. He just said to Zhaoyue, "Sit down."

Shen Yingda suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, didn't you bring back the Flower Yingda? Why didn't I see her?"

Zhu Dingyuan thought of this person: "Didn't she come to pay her respects?" He frowned: "Is this rude?"

He looked at Concubine Gao who had been silent the whole time: "She has been placed in your palace, why didn't she come to pay her respects?"
