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

He saw Zhu Dingyuan sweating profusely, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly took out a handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? I will teach Xiao Xiazi a lesson. He is always clumsy and disturbed your afternoon nap."

Zhu Dingyuan took it himself and wiped the sweat off his forehead: "What did you send?"

"Xiao Xiazi, come in quickly!"

Xiao Xiazi hurriedly stepped in from the door, not even having time to put down the things in his hands: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Zhu Dingyuan stood up and took a sip of tea: "What are you holding in your hand?"

"It's the round cloud fan used by Concubine Zhao. Your Majesty is not feeling well, so the ladies in the palace have sent gifts." Xiao Xiazi glanced at the master's expression and hurriedly presented the fan.

Huang Quan: "The ladies all sent some medicinal ginseng, but Lady Zhao was surprised and sent a summer cloud fan in such weather."

Zhu Dingyuan took the cloud fan and examined it carefully. The fan was thin, transparent and shiny, and was embroidered with a soaring dragon. It looked majestic, but its claws were curled up cutely. It must be that the artist was not very good at embroidery.

A smile appeared in his eyes as he stroked the broken beads on the fan handle, which were inlaid beautifully. There was also a wooden plaque tied to the end, which was engraved with her favorite crabapple flower.

What she gave him, the beads, the patterns, everything was what she liked.

Quirky.

He waved the fan, and a scent of crabapple came to him, exactly the same scent he smelled when he was struggling in his dream.

It was this smell that cleared his mind and prevented him from falling into prison. Zhu Dingyuan's eyes softened, he put down his fan, and said with his thin lips: "Change clothes."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Huang Quan quickly took the clothes and asked, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

"Ningzhu Pavilion."

Huang Quan glanced at the fan with a smile and said, "Yes, let's go to Ningzhu Pavilion!"

-

When Zhu Dingyuan stepped into Ningzhu Pavilion, he felt his tiredness immediately disappear, and even a bit of nervousness and anticipation arose in his heart. He saw Zhaoyue's personal maid Taoxi dozing off, and whistled at Huangquan.

Huang Quan immediately turned around and hushed to Xiao Xiazi. Xiao Xiazi glanced at Taoxi, then covered his mouth with his hands while grinning foolishly.

He was an emperor, but he was like a thief. He slowly opened the door of the bedroom and quietly stepped in.

Looking at the slender figure on the bed, he sighed helplessly. The towels on the rack were all dry, so she might not have woken up yet.

Zhu Dingyuan slowed down and walked towards the bed.

Zhao Yue on the bed moaned and stretched out a fair hand: "Taoxi...what time is it..."

She rubbed her eyes, her voice muffled and soft, making people want to love her.

A gentle voice said, "It's almost noon, and the moon is still lazy."

Zhaoyue's eyes suddenly became clear. She propped herself up and saw Zhu Dingyuan walking towards her with a smile on his face.

She concealed her surprise, which turned into delight and joy in an instant, and threw back the quilt and rushed towards him: "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Dingyuan hugged her and let her act coquettishly in his arms: "Your Majesty, why are you here? Am I dreaming?"

Zhao Yue looked up at him, then quickly came out of his arms, blushing and bowing: "I am impolite, Your Majesty, please wait for me outside. I will wash and dress immediately."

Zhu Dingyuan's eyes wandered over her snow-white feet and he picked her up: "You're so happy without even wearing shoes?"

He put Zhaoyue on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and coughed a few times: "I know you were noisy until midnight yesterday, it's okay for you to sleep now. My Yue'er is a natural beauty even without dressing up."

Zhao Yue lowered her eyes and said, "I will definitely get up early in the future. Your Majesty has always been diligent in his work for the sake of the people of the world, going to bed late and getting up early. As your concubine, I eat the salary bestowed by Your Majesty and wear the treasures bestowed by Your Majesty. How can I be so lazy?"

Zhu Dingyuan's heart softened when he heard this. No concubine had ever said these words to him before. He hugged Zhaoyue in his arms and said, "My Yue'er is considerate, but it's a pity that Yue'er is still young. Even the maidservants are like you, dozing off all the time."

He teased, his tone non-accusing.

"I will definitely punish them severely." Zhaoyue said softly, embarrassed.

Smelling her scent, Zhu Dingyuan finally felt at ease. He leaned back on the pillow and hugged Zhaoyue tighter: "I received the gift, I like it very much, but it's a pity that you didn't give it to me personally. Why don't you come to Yangxin Palace to find me?"

"The Queen said that His Majesty is not feeling well and needs to rest and recuperate. We concubines are not allowed to visit."

Zhao Yue met his eyes, her fox eyes were full of concern, and she was very charming: "Your Majesty, where is it hurting? Although I don't have medical skills, I can still massage it for Your Majesty."

Zhu Dingyuan curled his lips and held her fair and slender hand: "I don't feel any pain anywhere."

He looked into Zhaoyue's eyes, his heart beating wildly. Such a strange emotion that had not appeared for a long time made him feel a little overwhelmed, and he even became dazed.

Zhao Yue shook him: "Your Majesty?" She lowered her eyes a little aggrieved, her thick black eyelashes trembling slightly: "Last time, Your Majesty asked Yue'er to leave without saying a word, and Yue'er thought that I had annoyed Your Majesty and that Your Majesty didn't want to see me anymore."

Zhu Dingyuan looked a little panicked, his dark pupils became hazy and unclear. He placed Zhaoyue's hand on his heart.

"I... Every time I see you, I always feel that I can't control my emotions... Last time I thought of some bad things, I thought it was because of Yue'er, but after not seeing you for a few days... I still dreamed about you..."

He stopped talking, his eyes suddenly brightened: "But I have figured it out. You are my medicine. I feel so comfortable being with you. I suppress myself from seeing you, but I miss you even more. Why should I torture myself?"

Zhaoyue pretended to be angry: "What bad thing? Your Majesty, are you saying that I will give you a nightmare?" She pretended to pull her hand away.

Zhu Dingyuan held it tightly and immediately coaxed: "I thought too much. Now I know that the moon is like a panacea, which allows me to have a moment of clarity in this prison."

Zhao Yue stopped moving and gave him a seductive smile: "Your Majesty is not mine alone, but today I know something."

"what's up?"

She approached the man gently, the scent of the crabapple scent coming again, her seductive face made people's heart beat faster: "Although His Majesty did not say it, His Majesty left this... with Yue'er."

Zhao Yue's finger gently touched his heart: "Heart."

Her voice lowered, and the tone was sweet, always like a long tail tickling, making people salivate and feel itchy in their hearts: "All the beauties in the world belong to your Majesty, but as long as your Majesty has Yue'er in his heart, Yue'er will always obey you and accompany you..."

Zhu Dingyuan's black eyes were full of insight, his heart was beating wildly, his whole body was burning, the emotions that he had been suppressing surged up again, the corners of his eyes were red: "The world, the beauties, are all mine..."

He stared at Zhao Yue's stunning face: "And you will never disobey me, and you will never leave me."

"Yes..." Zhaoyue stroked his heart with her hand: "Everything in the world belongs to you..."

Zhu Dingyuan hugged her and slowly closed his eyes: "Only Yue'er... understands my heart best..."
