The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

He didn't even get to see her for the last time.

When he rushed over from Taiji Hall after hearing the news, he saw her eyes closed forever, a relieved smile on the corner of her lips, and her body gradually turning cold.

The scene was so tragic that he dared not think about it for the rest of his life.

Whenever I think of it, I feel heartbroken and filled with regret.

The heart-wrenching pain was so severe that even if he killed everyone, it would not be enough to ease the pain in the slightest.

Jiang Lingyue noticed that the atmosphere in the hall had become inexplicably cold and quiet. When she couldn't help but look up, she saw the emperor's pale face and was shocked.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The anxious voice brought him back to his senses. Qi Junyi closed his eyes tightly to hide the redness in his eyes, and reached out to hold her in his arms.

He held her slender neck and buried his face in her neck, "I'm fine..."

His nose was filled with her sweet body fragrance. Qi Junyi took a deep breath and a trembling sound escaped from his throat.

"Yueyue..."

Jiang Lingyue put her arms around his waist and responded softly.

"I really... love you so much."

His voice was low and hoarse, and the last few words were almost inaudible.

But he happened to be leaning close to her ear, so Jiang Lingyue naturally heard it clearly.

The moment the words entered his ears, his body suddenly stiffened and he almost suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

Qi Junyi also realized what he had said and his breathing stopped.

He waited for a long time feeling awkward, and when the girl in his arms didn't respond, he couldn't help but apply a little force to the hand that was pinching the back of her neck.

"……And you?"

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

Qi Junyi raised his head from the crook of her neck, and looked straight at her with his eyes still tinged with red.

He didn't urge her, just looked at her.

Jiang Lingyue swallowed her saliva and whispered, "Of course, the same goes for me."

...insincere.

Qi Junyi made a judgment immediately.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time, saying nothing.

Jiang Lingyue felt extremely uncomfortable. She turned her head to look outside and saw that it was already dark. She thought it was time for dinner and was about to speak when a hand suddenly appeared under her chin.

Qi Junyi turned her face around and leaned over to kiss her.

The kiss was gentle and passionate.

Jiang Lingyue could even hear the sound of his Adam's apple sliding.

She held her head high and let him kiss her for a while. Seeing that he was getting more and more absorbed in the kiss and had no intention of stopping, she couldn't help but reach out to push him away.

"His Majesty…"

Qi Junyi's eyelashes trembled, and he finally backed away a little. He pressed his fingertips on her rosy lips and fiddled with them for a while, then smiled and said, "So sweet."

The hoarse voice made Jiang Lingyue silent for a moment, and she confessed, "I drank a bowl of sweet soup when I came here."

Anyone who knows this... is really unromantic.

Qi Junyi was so annoyed that he leaned over and pressed his forehead against hers, saying helplessly, "Just be mad at me. I owed you in my last life anyway."

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

She really didn't know what she had said to anger him again.

Also,...is this really compensation for guilt?

Thinking of this, the heartstrings that had been tense after hearing his murmurs suddenly relaxed.

It turned out to be just a casual remark for fun.

I just didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor, who sits high in the clouds and looks down upon all living beings, would actually say such a ridiculous thing.

What's even more ridiculous is that... for a moment, she actually took it seriously.

Jiang Lingyue calmed herself down, cleared her mind of all the distractions, and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner. Let's go back to Ning'an Palace."

It was already dark outside the window, and the sun had completely set in the west.

Usually at this time, people would have already had dinner.

But Qi Junyi didn't move. He didn't know what he was thinking about, so he suddenly asked, "Today is the Lantern Festival. Does Yueyue want to leave the palace?"

It was clearly a question, but Jiang Lingyue hesitated for only a few breaths before seeing his handsome face slowly darken.

She could only nod hurriedly, "I want to go."

"Okay then," he said with a smile, softening his expression. "Since Yueyue wants to go, I'll take you."

As he spoke, he took a look at her clothes and said, "Go change your clothes."

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

She didn't know that he had such an unreasonable side.

What do you mean since she wants to go?

How could he not know whether she wanted to go or not?

…………

A crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and its cold moonlight illuminates the world.

Zhuque Street, the most prosperous street in the capital, was crowded with people and was much more lively than during the day.

Young people walking together in pairs can be seen everywhere.

Jiang Lingyue was wearing a moon-colored long dress with only a jade hairpin in her hair. Such a low-key and elegant dress made her look even more cool and elegant under the moonlight, and the beauty was like jade.

As for Qi Junyi next to her, not to mention the aura of a superior, just looking at his handsome face, if he were not the emperor, the title of the number one young master in the capital might not have belonged to Chen Ziyu.

The two of them walked side by side and couldn't keep a low profile at all.

Although not many high-ranking officials in the capital had seen the emperor's true face, there were definitely quite a few.

Realizing that she would be recognized sooner or later, Jiang Lingyue stopped in front of a stall selling masks.

She subconsciously wanted to call him "Your Majesty", but just as she uttered the word "Your Majesty", she saw the person next to her raise his eyebrows and look at her leisurely.

I couldn't utter the word "lower".

She paused, not knowing what to call him, when she heard him say with a smile, "What's the matter, Madam?"

"..." Jiang Lingyue was silent for a moment, then pointed at the various masks on the stall and said, "Let's buy a pair of masks and wear them."

Qi Junyi didn't move, but just lowered his head slightly and looked at her, as if waiting for something.

Jiang Lingyue felt blessed and called out, "Husband?"

...Not too wooden though.

Qi Junyi curved his lips and smiled, "Buy."

Soon, the smile on his face began to fade.

Because the girl picked out a pair of furry rabbit masks with long ears and pink cheeks. They looked really soft. One was big and the other was small, and it was obvious that the big one was intended for him.

The follower behind him paid the money, and Jiang Lingyue put on the mask. When she looked up, she saw that he did not look happy, and she immediately reacted.

"Husband, don't you like rabbits?" She turned around and was about to ask the stall owner if she could change to something else, but her hands were empty.

When he looked up again, the mask had appeared on the Emperor's face.

His Majesty, who is usually dignified and majestic, now has the upper half of his face covered by a furry rabbit mask, and the slightly cold and hard jaw line is outlined with a sense of gentleness.

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

She quickly lowered her eyes and stopped reading.

A soft animal like a little rabbit does indeed undermine the dignity of His Majesty the Emperor.

However, after putting on the mask, passers-by's eyes will no longer glance over at you from time to time.

Although Jiang Lingyue's slender figure and graceful figure were still eye-catching, she looked much better than before.

The moat was crowded at the moment, so they were not in a hurry to squeeze in with the others and just walked around casually.

Of course, we cannot import food from the roadside at will, but we bought a lot of strange and weird little things.

Neither of them had dinner. After walking along half of Zhuque Street, they felt a little tired and headed towards the Beijing Restaurant.
