Chapter 559 Others Can't See
"I'm full." Xiao Jiuyue touched her round belly. She had eaten too much without realizing it!
"Then I'll take care of the rest."
Jun Lie directly took the roast chicken that Xiao Jiuyue had not finished and ate it all.
He ate very politely. Even eating roasted chicken, which was not a very graceful gesture, exuded a sense of dignity when done by him. Xiao Jiuyue wiped her hands while looking at him. She had a lot of things to say in her heart, but it was all in her dream and she didn't know how to say it!
"What's wrong? Do you have something to ask?" Jun Lie put the clean bones on the plate, wiped his hands elegantly and said, "Didn't you say that? Don't beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say."
"Wash up and change your clothes first. This outfit is too restrictive." Xiao Jiuyue pointed to the phoenix crown on her head. It was golden and beautiful, but it was heavy!
"Okay." Jun Lie took the initiative to take the medicine. Xiao Jiuyue looked at his hands and said, "No, you have to wash your hands first. Your hands are so greasy that you can't just wipe them off."
After washing up, Xiao Jiuyue touched her neck and finally felt much more comfortable. She changed out of the heavy wedding dress and put on the red inner garment. She felt a lot more relaxed.
She sat on the bed holding the quilt, and Jun Lie was like a good baby, waiting for Xiao Jiuyue to speak.
She cleared her throat and asked, "Do you believe in past lives?"
Jun Lie didn't answer directly, but stared at her with burning eyes and asked, "You, what did you remember?"
Xiao Jiuyue's pupils shrank, and she grabbed Jun Lie's hand: "So, you really remember your past life?"
"I'm not sure if it was from my past life, but it was all a dream. I felt it was very real." Jun Lie answered uncertainly. Xiao Jiuyue couldn't wait to ask, "What did you dream about?"
Jun Lie looked at her deeply, without replying, and directly hugged her tightly in his arms. His hand gently stroked her long hair, as if only in this way could he feel that she was well and by his side. He said: "Jiuyue, today is our wedding night."
Jun Lie looked at her with deep eyes. There was no good ending for them in the dream.
"I..." Xiao Jiuyue had just opened her mouth when Jun Lie's slightly cold lips kissed her carefully yet eagerly, as if expressing his cherishment...

"Jiuyue, wake up." Jun Lie's hand gently stroked her face. He was going to the palace today and didn't want to keep her up so late. However, the composure that he was proud of was completely useless on her.
"Well, I haven't woken up yet." Xiao Jiuyue yawned. She felt like she had just fallen asleep when he pushed her awake.
"Wait until you get back from the palace before sleeping." Jun Lie helped her up, took her clothes and put them on, and asked Lian Xin and Luo Kui to come in and wash and dress her. He said, "Today I have to go to the palace to pay my respects to my father, the empress dowager, and the imperial concubine."
"Well, okay." Xiao Jiuyue yawned like a puppet, unable to open her eyes. After Lianxin and Luokui finished dressing her up, she was about to get up when she felt her body become heavy.
"It's cold outside." Jun Lie tied a thick cloak around her and, before she could even leave, he picked her up sideways, startling Xiao Jiuyue. "You, you're not going to carry me in a carriage, are you?"
"Lean on me and sleep. You can also sleep for a while when you ride in the carriage. I'll call you when we get there." Jun Lie gestured for her to lean on his shoulder.
Xiao Jiuyue didn't say anything and just snuggled into his arms and fell asleep. Who was it that made him torment her all the time yesterday?
Jun Lie took every step steadily. Xiao Jiuyue had not woken up yet, but now she was sleeping soundly.
When they reached the palace gate, Xiao Jiuyue was awakened by the fragrance!
"Is this a bun?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at the steaming buns and asked in shock, "You even prepared this?"
"Fill your stomach so you don't have to go to the toilet when you get to the palace." Jun Lie said, and reminded: "I put some cakes in your purse. Eat one when you feel hungry."
"You're so thoughtful." Xiao Jiuyue praised with a smile. It was so comfortable to eat buns when you were hungry early in the morning.
After finishing her meal, Xiao Jiuyue ate a piece of homemade mint candy, which not only refreshed her mind but also refreshed her breath. She asked, "If we go there today, will we get a reward?"
"Yes." Jun Lie held her hand and said, "However, the Second Prince and his wife will also go together. When the time comes..."
"Are you afraid of comparison?" Xiao Jiuyue immediately understood his thoughts. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of her!"
This was not the first time Xiao Jiuyue had returned to the imperial palace. The first place he went to was the Empress Dowager's palace.
When they arrived, the Second Prince and Du Ting were already there. When Du Ting saw Xiao Jiuyue, he subconsciously said, "Third brother's wife is late."
"Grandson pays his respects to the Imperial Grandmother."
"The granddaughter-in-law pays her respects to the Imperial Grandmother."
Jun Lie and Xiao Jiuyue came side by side and saluted together, looking like a perfect match.
"Okay, okay, please take a seat." The Queen Mother smiled.
Jun Lie asked, "Second sister-in-law just said we were late. Grandmother, are we late?"
Jun Lie’s straightforward question not only stunned Xiao Jiuyue, but even Du Ting who was standing beside him was shocked!
Du Ting twisted the handkerchief tightly in his hands, looking at Jun Lie protecting Xiao Jiuyue, and looking at Xiao Jiuyue's bright and charming appearance, Du Ting couldn't stop the jealousy in his heart.
The Queen Mother was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "It's not too late, not too late."
"Now that Prince Duan and Prince Ling are married, you two should work together to expand the royal family as soon as possible." The Queen Mother had recently become fascinated with operas. After giving the reward, she called Xiao Jiuyue over and asked, "Jiuyue, besides the White Snake opera, are there any other operas you can enjoy?"
As soon as Xiao Jiuyue heard this, she knew what was going on. Considering what the Sixth Princess and Jun Lie had said about the Queen Mother liking to listen to operas, she deliberately catered to the Queen Mother's topic and soon made her happy.
The Empress Dowager gave another reward. When Du Ting, who had gone to the Imperial Noble Concubine's palace to pay a visit, heard about the reward, he became so angry that his face turned black.
Not only that, the Empress Dowager also invited the couple to dinner and went to the Imperial Noble Concubine's Palace. Using the Empress Dowager's name as an excuse, she went directly to the Empress Dowager's Palace.
"Tell me quickly, did you help me in front of the Queen Mother?" How could Xiao Jiuyue not see that the Queen Mother intended to keep the meal for him? Otherwise, Jun Lie had no mother and was not familiar with the other concubines, so he would have to stay in the Imperial Concubine's Palace.
Although the Imperial Noble Consort didn't dare to do anything openly, but looking at her face, Xiao Jiuyue was afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat anything.
"Jiuyue is obviously likable, and the Empress Dowager likes you too." Jun Lie held her hand and looked at her with a smile.
Xiao Jiuyue quickly glanced around and reminded, "This is the palace."
"It's okay, no one else can see it." Jun Lie whispered to her. With his wide sleeves, the two of them walked together, holding hands, and it was hardly noticeable at all.
