Chapter 93 The Beauty of a Dead Husband
When Xiao Yuheng returned to the front hall, Shen Yue was dozing off at the table with her chin in one hand.
She tilted her head, her eyes closed quietly, her eyelashes trembling from time to time, and her little head nodding.
Xiao Yuheng raised his right hand slightly, gently supported her chin, looked at the pink pastry crumbs at the corner of her mouth, and smiled silently.
A delicate warmth came from her skin. Shen Yue opened her eyes drowsily, and then a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Are you sleepy?" Xiao Yuheng asked her.
Shen Yue shook her head, "I finished the cakes and was bored, so I fell asleep."
Xiao Yuheng looked at the empty plate and pretended to be displeased.
"Just like that, you won't leave a single piece for me."
After hearing what he said, Shen Yue touched her nose a little embarrassedly and asked, "How about I make it to compensate you later?"
"Silly boy, where can you find peach blossom petals in this season? The ones Mother has stored here are all gone."
Xiao Yuheng looked down at her tender and plump lips, and his Adam's apple rolled.
"If this king wants to eat, he will find a way."
Shen Yue frowned in confusion, wondering what he was going to do, when she saw his white jade fingers reaching to her mouth.
He ran his index finger over her lips, gently wiping away the pastry crumbs from the corner of her lips.
Shen Yue was dazed for a moment.
This was not the first time that Xiao Yuheng wiped her mouth, but she felt that his actions today were particularly intimate.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the man lower his head slightly, put his index finger to his lips, and sucked the pastry crumbs in.
His movements were slow, lazy and gentle, and Shen Yue even saw a little of his tongue.
In just a moment, her cheeks turned red.
How could Xiao Yuheng do this? !
His lips were so beautiful, neither thin nor thick, and looked as smooth as jade. But it was these lips that made such a seductive move just now.
She had to admit that she was aroused.
At that moment just now, she envied his fingertips...
"What are you standing there for? It's time to go."
Xiao Yuheng stood at the door and turned back to urge her.
She came to her senses and didn't dare to think any more. She quickly got up and chased after him.
“Here I come!”
Summer has arrived, and the air is filled with warmth. Even the wind in the air has a touch of fiery tenderness.
The sunlight shines through the lush branches and leaves, falling on the two people strolling, casting a pair of long shadows in front of the vermilion palace wall.
"Chen Er, what do you think of my mother?" Xiao Yuheng asked suddenly.
Shen Yue poked her head and thought for a moment, "Young. According to the information you gave me, the Queen should be almost forty years old this year, but I just saw that she is no different from her sister in her twenties. She is so well maintained!"
Xiao Yuheng laughed. His mother really loved beauty. If the clothes, perfumes and jewelry she spent on every year were converted into silver, it would be enough to support the daily expenses of several royal palaces.
"Besides being young?"
"Besides being young, she's naturally beautiful. Your Majesty has a very special kind of beauty. How should I put it? It's that kind of..."
It's the kind of beauty that comes from having a dead husband.
Shen Yue didn't dare to say this out loud. After all, this was the imperial palace, and anyone who made irresponsible remarks about the late emperor would be beheaded.
"Why does your Majesty ask these questions?"
"Nothing." Xiao Yuheng lowered his head and secretly raised the corners of his lips.
Mother doesn't object to him liking Shen Er, and Shen Er seems to have a good impression of Mother too. This is very good.
"By the way, you shouldn't have killed Han Yi today. He is the most favored guard beside the prince. If you kill him, it would be tantamount to slapping the prince in the face."
Shen Yue, however, was unconcerned: "No matter how favored he is, he is only a guard. How dare a mere guard disrespect the prince in front of multiple masters? Does the prince think he is naturally bold, or is he instructed by someone to intimidate the prince?"
How could Xiao Yuheng not think of this?
However, things are different now. In the past, he only regarded Shen Er as a sharp knife, but now, he wants to take the knife into his arms and protect it well.
Although the prince is still young, he has always been sinister and cunning. Shen Er's behavior today will definitely be regarded as a thorn in his side. This will always make people feel uneasy.
"No matter what, you shouldn't get too involved."
"Well, I know. I just want to help the prince establish his authority. You are the young emperor's uncle. You can't be outdone by those princes."
Shen Yue took two quick steps, came in front of Xiao Yuheng, turned around, and stepped back step by step.
"Besides, Han Yi is favored, so why shouldn't I be favored? If the prince wants to punish me, the prince will not ignore me."
Her face was full of confidence, and Xiao Yuheng couldn't help laughing when he saw it. "That makes sense."
If you like to take the lead, then so be it. Being submissive is not Shen Er’s character.
If the sky falls, he will hold it up.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Yuheng called Changfeng to discuss business. Chen Yue was happy to have some free time, so she strolled around the palace and familiarized herself with the environment.
Land in the Daqi Imperial City is extremely valuable, so the Chengwang Mansion here is much smaller than the Chengwang Mansion in Sifang City, but fortunately it is exquisite and majestic, with splendor everywhere.
The palace, with its multi-layered eaves and splendid steps, exudes majesty and splendor. Winding stone paths connect the courtyards, flanked by lush flowers and trees. A gentle breeze occasionally brings the fragrance of flowers to your nostrils, refreshing your heart.
Shen Yue walked along the path with cheerful steps, admiring the scenery of the courtyard. She was so happy.
When she reached a small courtyard, she saw Baozhu pinching her waist and lecturing dozens of new maids.
"You were all sent here by the Concubine Dowager, so there's no need to teach you much about the rules. However, there's one thing you must remember. This courtyard is the hot spring that the prince uses to enhance his inner strength. You can only enter at 9:00 a.m. daily to clean it, and no one else is allowed inside at other times. If anyone dares to trespass, don't blame me for telling the Second Director to gouge your eyes out!"
When the little girls heard this, they all turned pale with fear. "Sister Baozhu, we will be obedient. Please don't tell the Second Director!"
"That depends on how you perform."
Baozhu rolled her black eyes and said with a twisted lip:
"I heard that the Second Director not only picks out people's eyes, but also likes to pull out their tongues. Today, she pulled out the tongue of the Crown Prince's guard captain at the palace gate. With his example, do you know what to do?"
The maids shouted "I understand" repeatedly, and Baozhu nodded with satisfaction and took them away.
Shen Yue hid behind the tree trunk, smiled and shook her head.
Baozhu knows how to use others to establish her authority at such a young age. In this respect, she is much better than her master.
After returning to the Shadow Guard Division, Shen Yue had lunch first, arranged the night watchmen in advance, then returned to the room, took a shower, and prepared to take a deep sleep.
After running around for half a month and spending a whole morning in the palace, she was already exhausted and fell asleep in a short while.
If you get enough sleep in the afternoon, you will naturally not be so sleepy at night.
She was lying on the bed, counting sheep out of boredom, when she suddenly remembered the hot spring that Baozhu had mentioned could enhance internal strength.
It’s the middle of the night, Xiao Yuheng shouldn’t go to take a hot spring bath, right?
If he doesn't go, such a beautiful hot spring will be left unused, which is such a pity.
In line with the principle of not wasting, our second director quietly got up and left the room.
