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

He Quan pushed open the door and saw Zhao Yue sitting on the couch, covered with a white blanket that was neither thin nor thick. There was a charcoal basin burning in the room, making it warm but not very breathable.

He pushed the window open a little, then walked to Zhaoyue, without saying a word, just looking at her quietly.

Zhao Yue put down the book in his hand: "What's wrong?"

He tore off the human skin mask and suddenly leaned over, very close to Zhaoyue. She leaned back in shock: "What happened?"

He Quan was really handsome, his youthfulness slowly faded away, his eyes became more and more oppressive, because of Prince Duan Ze's birthday, he left the palace several times, and there was a little sleepiness in his amber eyes.

He leaned his hands on the table and glanced down at her. This posture seemed to trap Zhaoyue between his arms. Only in his arms was there an inch of space for her.

Although Zhao Yue's heartbeat quickened, it was a pity that things were different now. She moved closer and raised her hand to lift his well-defined jaw: "What's wrong? You didn't say a word as soon as you came in, as if you had suffered a great injustice."

When He Quan saw the smile in her eyes, his eyes actually drooped a little in grievance.

Zhaoyue moved closer to him. His breathing was unstable and he was out of control. Her fingertips felt hot.

Other ladies always like to wear armor, but she finds it uncomfortable and won’t wear it unless necessary.

The nails were painted a light clear color, and the rounded shape made the fingers look even more tender and slender. When they pressed against his chin, he shuddered inexplicably, as if he had grasped his weak spot, giving rise to an uncontrollable evil thought.

He Quan tilted his head, hiding the desire in his eyes, and sniffed her neck. In addition to her own light fragrance, there was something more.

It smells like ambergris.

His voice was low and hoarse: "Yes, I am so wronged. I just went out for a while, and when I came back, the young master was stained with dirt."

Zhao Yue felt an itch on her neck from his breath, and couldn't help laughing. She pushed him back and said, "What a dirty thing! I am very clean."

"Really?" He Quan stopped, held her wrist and placed it under her nose.

Zhaoyue understood that the smell of ambergris was originally strong and special, and she was inevitably contaminated by it as she slept in the same bed with Zhu Dingyuan today.

But she played dumb: "It smells good, how can there be any smell?"

He Quan saw the cunning flash in her fox eyes and knew that she was playing a joke on him. He was already jealous and felt angry. He dared to bite the corner of her lips and said, "My lady is always teasing me."

His voice was ethereal and Zhao Yue whimpered. He held her tightly in his arms. He Quan looked like he was being forced into a corner. He kissed her quickly but didn't dare to really hurt her, fearing that she would get angry. He only kissed her lightly.

Zhaoyue did not struggle and let out a sweet gasp, and he hurriedly let go of her lips.

His cold eyes were covered with a light red after being moved, which was different from the silent, fierce, sarcastic and intimidating look Zhaoyue had seen him in her previous life.

The way it looks now is more suitable and more like him.

Zhao Yue smiled slightly: "Not angry anymore?"

"I'm not angry. I am... yes..." He pursed his lips slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Yes, yes." Zhao Yue imitated him, with curved eyebrows and eyes: "I'm jealous!"

"My lady!" He Quan's fair cheeks turned really red.

He seemed to be decisive and serious in public, but he completely fell in love with her and was completely controlled by her. Although he was a little annoyed, he couldn't help feeling happy.

His Highness' words appeared in front of me. He said that if a person has no emotions, he is not a complete person. Even if he is a shadow, he should go and find his way.

Your Highness, he seems to have found his own path.

Zhao Yue stared at him, thinking that he was nine thousand years old in his previous life, and it was really funny that he showed his childish side when he met the woman he loved.

She moved to his arms and rubbed against him: "Okay, I'll stick to you and use your scent to cover the ambergris, okay?"

He Quan lowered his eyes, looked into her clear eyes, and hugged her tighter: "Not enough, hold me for a while longer."

Zhao Yue leaned against him, lying in his arms and said, "He Quan, I have never asked about your identity, and I am His Majesty's concubine, why do you like me?"

"Why do I like you..." He said in a gentle voice, "When we first met, you followed me. I am a eunuch, but you looked scared. When you met me and talked to me, your eyes were always guarded."

Make him curious about the reason.

"Later, I arrived at the young master's palace. The young master was not so afraid of me anymore. She seemed to be very confident in me and always trusted me unconditionally. Sometimes she would stare at me blankly. Did she think I didn't know?"

Make him feel cute.

Zhao Yue blushed. She was thinking about him in her previous life. Sometimes, he was so handsome that she would always get distracted.

"If you just wanted to be a concubine or become the queen, I would help you. But you don't even know it yourself. When you looked into Zhu Dingyuan's eyes, there was panic, disgust, and patience, but... not a single bit of love."

It made him feel distressed.

He Quan looked into Zhao Yue's eyes and said, "You said nothing and kept everything to yourself. If I hadn't investigated your identity, I wouldn't have known that you entered the palace in this way. You knew that I was different, but you never asked me to save your brother."

How can one not fall in love with such a good girl?

His cool fingers stroked Zhaoyue's cheek: "I have had two masters in my life. You are the second one, but I have accompanied you throughout my life."

The smile on He Quan's lips was very gentle: "Did the slave suffer a loss?"

What two masters? Zhao Yue thought, and then heard his last sentence, and suddenly she was like a kitten with fur standing on end: "I am the one who is at a disadvantage, you are a eunuch!"

Eunuch, what's wrong with eunuch?

The veins on He Quan's forehead jumped a few times, and he calmed his breathing. He leaned close to her ear with a smile on his face and said, "Eunuchs naturally have their own charms. My lady knows how Xiao Yinzi does it every night... He will..."

The voice was too low to be heard, but every word went into her mind. Zhao Yue's eyes widened, and the tips of her ears were red as blood. She couldn't utter a word, and after a long while she managed to utter, "You are too... perverted, you always like to lie on the wall and listen to these... unbearable things."

Even though Zhaoyue has lived for two lifetimes, he has never studied how "eunuchs" do that!

Zhao Yue broke free from his arms, and seeing his eyes becoming more cautious, "You are not allowed to learn."

"Okay." He Quan agreed obediently, but his eyes were dark.

The warmth on Zhaoyue's face faded a little, and he took her hand away, and Hequan put the paper ball on it.

"what is this?"

Zhaoyue pinched the paper ball and unfolded it. Inside, there were two words written crookedly in an unknown material: Birthday.

"Birthday, whose birthday?" She read it over and over again, there were only these two words.

He Quan took the paper ball back and said, "At the birthday banquet, someone is reminding the young master to be careful on that day."

"Prince Duan Ze's birthday banquet?" Zhao Yue wondered who would be so kind to remind her: "The birthday banquet was organized by Concubine Gao... This paper ball... was sent by Hua Ying."

He Quan did not deny it, but he did not confirm it either: "The young lady is in great favor now, and they are all very anxious."

"It's okay. Since I'm going to be a favorite concubine, I won't be afraid of any of them."

He Quan had some reproach in his eyes, and put the pills he brought back into the sachet on Zhao Yue's waist: "This is a simple poison-clearing pill, so that no one can use the leaf root to harm you again. It can also suppress ordinary poisons."

He said seriously, "You took a small bite at the banquet last time, and although you threw it up soon after, you didn't have an allergic reaction. But just in case, you should always carry it with you in the future."

"Doctor Su prescribed me some medicine for allergies..."

He Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his lips cooled down: "Hmm?"

Zhao Yue quickly pinched the sachet with both hands: "Good, good, this is excellent."
