The dinner was very quiet.

Jiang Lingyue noticed that he was in a bad mood, and wondered whether he was angry at Shaoguang Palace or was unhappy because she didn't wait for him to have dinner.

The thought came to mind in just a moment before he came up with the answer.

Concubine Hui must have angered someone for some reason, otherwise why would he leave at night? It is impossible that he was angry because she didn't wait for him for dinner. That is too outrageous.

But if we leave at this time, there should be no one visiting us.

...It really slaps Concubine Hui in the face.

But he happened to come to her Ning'an Palace.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lingyue felt a little headache. She had attracted so much hatred in just one day.

She picked up the tea and rinsed her mouth. Seeing the man walking to the tea table by the window, she took a deep breath and moved over resignedly.

After finishing their meals, they would either make tea and chat, or play a few games of mahjong, which was their daily activity these days.

Today's tea is the best black tea, and the tea set is a set of white jade. The man held the jade cup with his slender fingertips and placed it in front of her.

His skin was very white, the kind of cool white. Jiang Lingyue didn't even look at him. She took it with both hands and took a sip.

"Heat it carefully." Qi Junyi glanced at her, poured himself a cup, and then said casually, "I just went to Concubine Hui's place."

Jiang Lingyue put down the empty teacup in her hand.

Qi Junyi refilled her cup and said, "Nothing you want to ask?"

Jiang Lingyue paused, raised her eyes and looked at him carefully. She saw that his expression was normal, and when he met her gaze, there was encouragement in his eyes.

...He doesn't look angry.

She felt relieved and said politely, "You came here at this time, but did Sister Huifei make you angry?"

Qi Junyi smiled and asked instead of answering, "Shouldn't I come here at this time?"

That smile was definitely not one of joy.

Jiang Lingyue straightened her expression immediately, "I have no such intention."

"Oh?" Qi Junyi's smile deepened. "Then what does Ai Fei mean?"

Jiang Lingyue said, "Your Majesty is the Supreme Lord, you can go anywhere in the world."

"That's not what I'm asking," his expression faded. "My beloved, why don't you think about it carefully and find out what I want to hear."

After saying that, without waiting for her reply, he put down the teacup, got up and went to the bathroom, leaving Jiang Lingyue sitting in front of the tea table, feeling confused.

Isn't he angry with Concubine Hui?

Or is he angry with Concubine Hui and taking it out on her?

He couldn't be really angry that she didn't wait for him to come back for dinner, could he?

...What exactly does he want to hear?

Jiang Lingyue was puzzled and felt that this person was even more difficult to serve than in her previous life.

Nanny Qian, who was waiting on the side, stepped forward and said, "My lady, it's time to go to bed."

His Majesty has gone to take a bath, so how can we keep him waiting for so long?

There is more than one bathroom in the master bedroom of Ning'an Palace, and there is also a hot spring pool in the back hall.

However, the ridiculous incident at the hot spring pool yesterday made Jiang Lingyue not plan to take a hot spring bath in the past month.

She stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

When he returned to the bedroom, the man had taken off his hair crown and was holding a scroll, half leaning against the head of the bed.

She had lost the elegance and dignity she had during the day, and under the flickering candlelight, she appeared somewhat unrestrained and wanton.

The moment this thought flashed through her mind, Jiang Lingyue stopped in her tracks.

Qi Junyi turned his head to look at her, his eyes very calm as he said, "Come here."

The palace maids serving behind him retreated silently.

Jiang Lingyue was wearing a thin nightgown. Just as she reached the edge of the couch, the person on the bed grabbed her wrist and pulled her down.

I felt dizzy and my back was pressed against the bed.

The hot breath was close to her. Qi Junyi grabbed her neck and lifted her up, bringing her to an angle that was convenient for him to kiss her, and then he placed his lips on hers.

The book that he had just held in his hand was now casually placed on the corner of the bed.

Jiang Lingyue's whole body was stiff, and before she could react, the hand behind her neck came around and pinched her jaw, applying a little force.

Her breath was robbed and Jiang Lingyue could hardly breathe.

In a daze, she discovered another difference between her past and present life.

That is, this person seems to be more powerful.

In his previous life, he rarely looked so moody and almost anxious.

Could it be that after her death, he had more experiences with women during his reign and became more casual in his treatment of his concubines?

Jiang Lingyue had no way of knowing, but she didn't like being kissed by him while pinching her chin like that. She always felt that the gesture was too disrespectful, so she tried to pull his hand away from her chin.

Qi Junyi was very easy to talk to. He let her hold his hand and soon took the initiative to interlock their fingers.

He paused, moved his lips away a little, and looked down at the girl below, his eyes misty and full of lust.

"Have you figured it out?"

Jiang Lingyue opened her eyes slightly and was stunned when she heard that.

He smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "I am a little upset. My beloved concubine, please say a few nice words to please me."

"...I am stupid."

Jiang Lingyue was almost falling apart, her mind was in a fuss, and she only thought that this man was now moody and the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made.

Qi Junyi sighed softly and said nothing.

He just held her waist with his hands, tightening more and more.

When everything calmed down, Jiang Lingyue lay on the pillow, breathing rapidly, like a prisoner who had seen the light of day again. His hands and feet were finally not tied, and he could move as he pleased, but he had lost his strength.

Pushing the hair that was stuck to her face behind her ears, Qi Junyi asked, "Are you okay?"

The voice is gentle and soft.

He seemed to enjoy asking her 'Are you okay' at times like this.

Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips and said nothing.

She was so tired that she really couldn't muster the energy to deal with him. So she was angry. It just so happened that she was too favored by the emperor now, so it was better to be cold to him.

After being pressed on the couch and demanded forcefully for two consecutive days, Jiang Lingyue's already limited ambition had made her feel like throwing in the towel.

Anyway, this person was reborn and had memories of his previous life. Even though this was a little offensive, he wouldn't really treat her coldly for too long.

After all, she had been even more disrespectful in her previous life, and had even questioned him coldly, but she still remained in his favor.

But this angry look seemed to inadvertently improve the mood of the person next to him. He raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered coaxingly: "What are you angry about?"

As he spoke, his hands fell on her waist and began to massage it gently, his tone becoming softer, "Are you tired?"

"..." Jiang Lingyue was silent for a while, and instead of answering, she asked, "Your Majesty, have you calmed down?"

"That's quite clever. You can even tell that I'm angry," Qi Junyi chuckled and asked her, "Then does Yueyue know what I'm angry about?"

He is really moody. When he is angry, he calls her my beloved concubine, and when he is happy, he calls her Yueyue.

Jiang Lingyue didn't even raise her eyes and said, "Since Your Majesty has asked, I have answered. Your Majesty, please don't be angry again."

Qi Junyi agreed with good temper.

Jiang Lingyue said, "I guess you were upset with Concubine Hui, and you're taking it out on me."
