His style was the opposite of Fu Luoyouqi's; Fu Luoyouqi was like a raging storm, while Su Tingan was like a gentle breeze.
He kissed her carefully, as if he were kissing a fragile piece of porcelain, not daring to breathe too forcefully.
Su Ting'an stared at her with intense gaze, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, is it alright?"
Li Yunyan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and finally bit her lower lip, nodding almost imperceptibly.
......
Just before dawn, Li Yunyan was awakened by the person beside her.
The man spoke in a gentle voice, softly calling to her, "Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court session!"
Li Yunyan turned over and looked at him with some annoyance.
Su Ting'an apologized in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This humble subject will not dare to do it again!"
Li Yunyan rubbed her lower back. "You're quick to admit your mistake!"
He held her in his arms as he helped her change her clothes, saying, "Your Majesty is so majestic, your humble servant dares not overstep your bounds!"
"Hmph! Didn't you overstep your bounds last night?"
His features were clear and bright, a smile playing on his lips as he looked earnestly at Li Yunyan. "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty. I will certainly correct myself next time!"
Li Yunyan bit her lower lip. How could she make it clear?
I never expected him to be so shameless!
She playfully hit him, her voice soft and almost coquettish, "Don't you have to go to the morning court session too? Aren't you going to get ready?"
Su Ting'an remained calm and composed. "This humble subject has already brought his court robes into the palace and will be ready to change soon! But Your Majesty..."
His gaze lingered on her neck, darkening slightly. "We need to hurry and get it done. Your Majesty, I'll expedite it immediately!"
Li Yunyan enjoyed his gentle service, her eyes narrowing. "Letting Yuzhu and Yudie in is the same!"
"no the same!"
He whispered in her ear, “It has always been my wish to personally help Your Majesty change clothes and wash up!”
Li Yunyan chuckled, "Your wish is quite simple; becoming my maid would also fulfill it!"
"That's not all!"
He tied the knot on her skirt and continued, "Your Majesty, I wish to have children with you, grow old together, and never be separated! This is something I cannot do!"
Li Yunyan opened her eyes, reached out and tapped his chin, "You're actually trying to compete with a maid? Look at your pathetic self!"
Su Ting'an had already dressed her in her court robes and gently embraced her. "Your Majesty doesn't know, but when you were in Beishuo, I really hated that I wasn't your maid! That way, I could have gone to Beishuo with you, stayed by your side, protected you, and always be by your side!"
His words were so touching; who wouldn't want to be deeply loved?
Li Yunyan reached out and hugged him back for a few moments, then gently pushed him away. "Alright! Go and get ready! I should go to court!"
Su Ting'an immediately bowed, "Your Majesty, this humble subject respectfully sees you off!"
......
When the morning court session began, Li Yunyan noticed that Su Ting'an was already standing below.
He was dressed in solemn court attire, standing with his hands at his sides, his expression respectful.
His posture was as upright as a pine tree, his face as gentle as jade, and his demeanor refined and elegant. Beneath his scholarly air, there was a subtle hint of pride.
By all accounts, he is vastly different from the madman of last night!
What a hypocrite!
Li Yunyan composed herself slightly and began to attend the morning court session seriously.
After the morning court session, Prime Minister Su, as was his custom, would discuss matters with His Majesty and would go straight into the Imperial Study.
When she saw him again, Li Yunyan's expression had returned to calm.
Prime Minister Su was always composed and self-possessed. In the Imperial Study, besides discussing national affairs with her, he would quietly serve her with writing materials.
He didn't mention anything else, which made Li Yunyan feel inexplicably at ease.
This sense of security only lasted until evening.
When she saw the man in black beside the bed, she felt like she was going crazy again.
Meng Qingye was dressed in a black outfit, with long arms and a slender waist, and her face was flushed from rushing over, making her look energetic.
Li Yunyan hadn't paid attention to his appearance before, but now that she looked at him, she noticed that his eyes were clear, yet they concealed the rebelliousness and unruliness of a young man. Perhaps because he had spent a long time in the military camp, his skin was more of a wheat color. Upon closer inspection, his features were handsome and upright, with distinct angles, and he exuded a flamboyant youthful spirit.
He smiled, his teeth dazzlingly white, and gave Li Yunyan a deep bow, saying, "Your subordinate greets Your Majesty!"
Li Yunyan raised her hand to rub her temples, somewhat resigned, "Tell me! What reason do you have to serve me?"
Meng Qingye paused, a hint of fear appearing in his clear eyes. "Has Your Majesty forgotten?"
"What have I forgotten?"
Don't look at me like I'm a heartless man!
"Your Majesty!" Meng Qingye took two steps toward her, his eyes pleading, like an abandoned puppy or a child who had done something wrong.
"Your Majesty may have truly forgotten! Your subordinate... Your subordinate has long been Your Majesty's person!"
"What!!!"
Li Yunyan nearly choked on her saliva. "Cough cough!! Don't try to frame me! When did I ever touch you?!"
"Your subordinate would never dare to deceive Your Majesty!"
Meng Qingye took two steps closer to her and said in a voice barely above a whisper, “Your Majesty, please recall that night when Your Majesty came to my room… you pulled off my blanket.”
"My subordinate was beaten with a board at the time... and he wasn't wearing anything."
"Hiss~!"
Li Yunyan gasped, "Your concept of chastity is that serious?"
Meng Qingye's clear eyes flickered, and she nodded shyly.
Why are you so shy?
Li Yunyan was getting a little frantic. "A doctor doesn't see men and women. I was only trying to save you! I didn't see anything!"
