Chapter 58 She still has me in her heart
"Miss Lu, watch your step..."
Eunuch Wei couldn't help but sigh softly to himself. He had seen the complicated and tangled relationship between their emperor and this Miss Lu, and he knew it better than anyone else.
His Majesty's concern, hidden in his eyes, cannot be faked. But if that's the case, why doesn't His Majesty be honest with his feelings? Perhaps then Miss Lu wouldn't hate His Majesty so much.
As Eunuch Wei and Lu Zhaoxue walked to a pavilion, they suddenly heard a soft and melodious voice, "Your Majesty, why do you always not let me win? You make me lose again."
Liu Ruohua stood up, walked to Chu Huaiyu's side, and reached out to put her arm around Chu Huaiyu's arm and shake it.
Seeing this, Chu Huaiyu smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's because you're less skilled than others, why are you blaming me?"
"Hmph, Your Majesty's chess skills are so superb, what harm is there in letting me win?" Liu Ruohua pouted slightly as she spoke, looking quite charming and beautiful.
"Alright, alright, I'll give in to you, okay?" Chu Huaiyu chuckled again.
Lu Zhaoxue paused under the trees outside the pavilion, and saw Chu Huaiyu and Liu Ruohua in the distance. Lu Zhaoxue thought that she had something to ask Chu Huaiyu, so although she felt contempt for him, she had no choice but to stop and wait patiently.
Lu Zhaoxue then looked at Eunuch Wei, who was standing to the side. Eunuch Wei's expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Hmph, Your Majesty, I will not tolerate such perfunctory treatment!" With that, Liu Ruohua picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and fed it to Chu Huaiyu's lips. Chu Huaiyu opened his mouth and swallowed it, but his gaze inadvertently passed over Liu Ruohua and fell on the slender figure under the tree in the distance.
Chu Huaiyu's smile deepened even further.
"Then how do you want me to stop being perfunctory with you?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruohua half-covered her lips, then whispered a few words in Chu Huaiyu's ear. After she finished speaking, a faint blush rose on Liu Ruohua's face.
Chu Huaiyu smiled and raised an eyebrow, saying, "My beloved concubine is truly a handful."
Liu Ruohua playfully shook Chu Huaiyu's arm again, her captivating appearance would make anyone's heart flutter.
Lu Zhaoxue stood there, her brows furrowing slightly. She had thought that Liu Ruohua's entry into the palace was not genuine, but now that she thought about it... Lu Zhaoxue sighed softly. Perhaps people do change.
After waiting for a while, Lu Zhaoxue saw that the two of them were still playing around, and thought that she probably wouldn't be able to wait for them anytime soon. She pursed her lips, glanced at Eunuch Wei, and gestured for him to leave first.
Eunuch Wei nodded, watching Lu Zhaoxue's departing figure, then glanced at His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine, and couldn't help but sigh again. Ah…
When Chu Huaiyu looked up again, Lu Zhaoxue had already left. Chu Huaiyu recalled Lu Zhaoxue's frowning expression and felt a strange sense of joy rise in his heart.
Lu Zhaoxue still loved him after all. Her turning away showed that she was jealous of Liu Ruohua, which proved that she still had feelings for him.
...
After Lu Zhaoxue returned home, she felt a little hungry, so she told the palace servants that she wanted to have a meal. Just as she finished eating, Chu Huaiyu strode in.
A smile played on Chu Huaiyu's lips, and the palace servants around him could tell that His Majesty was in an excellent mood today.
Just as Lu Zhaoxue was about to ask about Lu Zhaoxing, Chu Huaiyu preemptively instructed the palace servant beside him, "Bring Lu Zhaoxing here."
Then, Chu Huaiyu turned to Lu Zhaoxue, his eyes sparkling, his tone carrying a hint of deliberate flattery: "Zhaoxue, I have brought Zhaoxing to the palace. I wanted to tell you last night, but seeing that you were already asleep, I didn't have the heart to disturb you."
