The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

He is really outspoken...

"I, I want to refuse..."

Sleeping together all the time is not a solution, it will be exposed sooner or later. Besides, recently I seem to have developed some different feelings for Qin Yejue.

If I continue to let him kiss and hug me, I can't guarantee that I won't fall completely for him.

……

Qin Yejue imitated Shen Jingli's technique and began to play with the hair around her ears. "Take a bath together or sleep in the same bed. It's your choice."

"Or, do you want to come together?"

Shen Jingli felt an itch near his earlobe. "Stop playing! I choose to sleep together. We are all adults. We should sleep when we want to. Don't overstep your authority!"

"Ah."

In Qin Yejue's heart, kissing and hugging are not considered as transgressions...

After Shen Jingli fell asleep, Qin Yejue would help her remove the breast wrap, but... he would do it with his eyes closed.

So... this shouldn't be considered as overstepping one's authority...

The only time I saw it with my own eyes...

It was in Yechi. It was an accident, not intentional. But the scene was really distracting and made people imagine...

"Qin Yejue, your ears are red."

"no!"

"It really turned red! It turned red all of a sudden. I'm not kidding you!"

Shen Jingli pointed at Qin Yejue's left ear and said, "It's this ear."

Shen Jingli's touch made Qin Yejue's right ear turn red.

"Wow, the other ear is red too!"

When helping Shen Jingli take off the breast wrap, I inevitably touched her skin, which felt much softer than my fingertips.

Shen Jingli suddenly covered his mouth, extremely shocked: "Oh my god, your cheeks are red too! Don't disbelieve me, I'll go get the bronze mirror."

Qin Yejue was extremely embarrassed at this moment. Whenever he thought of the springtime scene that day, his whole body would tense up and feel uncomfortable...

If I don't take reassurance pills, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back...

"You are not allowed to go! Otherwise, I will personally help you bathe. I will keep my word."

"!!!!!!"

Shen Jingli immediately chose to shut up. Suddenly, she bumped into Qin Yejue's aggressive eyes. She shuddered, "Well, I'm leaving! Goodbye."

After saying that, Shen Jingli almost ran out of Long Xiao Hall. Qin Yejue was such a stingy person. He wouldn't let anyone say anything even though his ears and face were red. He even threatened people after saying a few more words!

Humph! I was still worried about whether he had a fever again.

It seemed that his temperament had changed drastically since he had a fever that night. Sometimes he was aggrieved, and sometimes he was tough and domineering. It was really hard to understand.

Could it be that the last fever damaged my brain?

Are all these awkward behaviors the aftereffects?

After Shen Jingli returned to Qianlu Palace, he asked Songzhu if he could give the plum blossom pastry he gave to the imperial concubine. Songzhu said that since he had given it to you, it would be yours.

Only then did she order someone to send the plum blossom pastry and a letter to the Yanxi Palace.

----

Inside the Yanxi Palace at this time.

Huo Shurou was embroidering a picture of mandarin ducks to pass the lonely time.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor sent someone to deliver something." Diancui came in excitedly to report and almost tripped to the ground.

The imperial concubine has been in the palace for so long, but this is the first time that the emperor has taken the initiative to send someone to deliver something.

"Show it up." Huo Shurou continued embroidering without looking up.

"Your Majesty, this is the emperor's handwritten letter. Please take a look first." Diancui first handed over the letter, then she opened the food box, and her smile suddenly stopped.

Just a box of plum blossom cakes?

The Emperor has neglected the Empress for so long, and now he just sends someone to deliver a box of plum blossom cakes?

Huo Shurou looked up lazily and slowly opened the letter.

[Don't think too much, Concubine. I have a minor illness that is hard to talk about. I'm afraid I need to be treated for my illness. I have no face to set foot in the Palace of Imperial Concubine recently. The plum blossom pastry that Concubine sent me last time was very delicious. Thank you for your hard work in making pastries for me. I heard that Yuncheng is the origin of plum blossom pastry, especially the plum blossom pastry from Shiyaji in Dongbao Street is the best. I hope Concubine likes it.]

Huo Shurou was lost in thought as she looked at the crooked handwriting.

……

Indeed, the plum blossom pastry from Yuncheng Shiyaji is the most authentic. Huo Shurou was raised in her maternal grandfather's home since she was born, and was not taken back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion until she was ten years old.

Grandmother loved her and knew that she loved plum blossom cakes, so she sent people to Shiyaji every day to queue up to buy them. During the peak period, there were people who queued for three or four hours. It was hard for the emperor to worry about it...

Since she returned to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, she had told her father that she wanted to eat Yuncheng's plum blossom cakes, but her father said that it was childish to be greedy for sweets...

In fact, she is not just greedy for sweetness, but she just misses that carefree life.

……

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry." Diancui was always observing Huo Shurou's emotions, fearing that she would get angry. This stingy emperor was reluctant to give her silk and jewelry, but instead sent her some special food.

"Why am I angry?"

It was not the expected rage, but a relatively rational speech. Diancui was a little confused. Was this the calm before the storm?

"Your Highness is already used to such common things. Perhaps... it was sent to the wrong person."

"I haven't had Yuncheng's plum blossom pastry for a year and a half. Bring it to me. I'm craving it..."

"Yes."

Huo Shurou picked up a plum blossom cake, took a bite and nodded in approval, "It still tastes the same as it did back then..."

Diancui reminded, "Madam, the Madam has sent someone to deliver a message again."

"Got it... Go on, I'm tired."

Hearing Diancui's words, Huo Shurou's eyes darkened and she lost all interest. She put the plum blossom pastry in her hand back into the food box and prepared to go to bed.

Midnight.

At this time, at the top of Qingfeng Tower...

Gu Sichen leaned against the wall, recalling what happened at the birthday party tonight. The light in his eyes faded little by little. He picked up the wine jug in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.

The layout of the entire palace could be seen clearly from the top floor of Qingfeng Tower. He stared straight at Qianlu Palace for a long while before lowering his eyes.

It’s so late...

Is he asleep?

Who to sleep with?

What are you doing? Are you volunteering?

……

"Mr. Gu." Nancy appeared in front of Gu Sichen wearing a veil.

Gu Sichen didn't want to pay attention to her, so naturally he wasn't in the mood to answer.

Seeing that Gu Sichen was still drinking late at night, Nancy guessed the general reason.

That day in Sulangyuan, she had basically confirmed that Gu Sichen had feelings for the emperor of Dayuan, otherwise he would not have risked his life to snatch him from the regent.

"Mr. Gu, being so decadent is the most useless behavior. You are still young, and everything is possible."

Gu Sichen looked gloomy: "Are you done?"

"Mr. Gu, why don't you give the previous proposal a try? If it succeeds, power, wealth, and beauty will all be in your pocket, right?"

"not interested."

Nancy was slightly startled: "That's right, these naturally can't arouse Mr. Gu's interest."

After she finished speaking, she pointed forward, "That place! Although it's not the most magnificent place in the palace, and the beauty living in it is not famous in the capital, but Master Gu... seems to be very interested in it."

Gu Sichen did not give a direct answer, but revealed Nancy's evil intentions in one sentence, "You are familiar with the palace. You can point to the direction of Qianlu Palace."

"Mr. Gu, why not give it a try?"

Seeing that the candles in Qianlu Hall had gone out, Gu Sichen turned around and left Qingfeng Tower.

Nancy Niya caught up with him, "Master Gu, although Niya doesn't understand...Long Yang's love, she also understands it, and knows how painful it is to not be able to get the one you love."
