Bai Yusheng had been keeping an eye on Yu Jingchen, and now that she saw he wasn't looking at her, a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
She had previously heard that His Majesty greatly disliked this woman from the Nan family, but from her observations, it seemed that His Majesty's current attitude towards Consort Chen was genuine. It appeared that some matters required further consideration.
As the dance ended, thunderous applause erupted. Bai Yusheng's performance clearly overshadowed Yu Yan's earlier performance. The noise in the arena was so intense that Nan Zhiyun, who was already close to waking up, immediately opened her eyes.
Because she was in Yu Jingchen's arms and had just woken up, she hadn't figured out the situation or noticed anything wrong.
"Your Majesty~" Nan Zhiyun's voice was full of languidness, soft and sweet, like a kitten scratching.
"Hmm? You're awake?" Yu Jingchen lowered his voice, his tone magnetic.
"So noisy~" Nan Zhiyun must not be fully awake yet, as she was stretching in Yu Jingchen's arms.
"Heh..." Yu Jingchen couldn't help but chuckle at her words. He suddenly wondered how Nan Zhiyun would react if she found out about his current situation.
Bai Yusheng's performance had already ended, but looking at the scene above... it was truly jarring. Concealing her emotions, Bai Yusheng walked naturally and gracefully to the center of the hall: "This humble woman has made a fool of herself."
A gentle, cool voice suddenly rang out, and Nan Zhiyun was a little confused. She moved her body and slowly saw the whole scene before she could see the whole picture.
Nan Zhiyun suddenly had a bad feeling. Yu Jingchen saw that she was slowly coming to her senses and a mischievous feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
"But Consort Shu has woken up? It seems I'm quite lucky." It was Bai Yusheng. Nan Zhiyun's body stiffened... She slowly realized what situation she was in.
"Not getting up?" Yu Jingchen was in a good mood, and he found it very amusing to watch the constantly changing expressions on Nan Zhiyun's face.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun's voice trembled. Unlike her previous fear, she was now truly... embarrassed!
"I thought our Consort Shu would sleep until the banquet was over," Yu Jingchen joked.
Nan Zhiyun wished she could disappear into nowhere; she didn't even dare to look up and see what the scene below was like.
"Since you're awake, get up and sit down. Consort Shu has been asleep for so long, and none of the servants have seen you show your face today." Yu Jingchen admitted that he was doing it on purpose. Not only did he say this, but he also made a move to help Nan Zhiyun sit up.
How could Nan Zhiyun do that? She was certain that she would never be as quick and decisive as she was in her entire life. She immediately snuggled into Yu Jingchen's arms, clinging to him and refusing to let go, burying her face in his chest.
Yu Jingchen chuckled; it was just a joke. He still held Nan Zhiyun tightly, knowing she had just woken up and shouldn't catch a cold. He pulled the blanket that had been covering her and wrapped it around her.
"No~" Nan Zhiyun's voice was muffled, she was almost crying.
How could she not know who came downstairs today? This is incredibly embarrassing… Help! Nan Zhiyun screamed inwardly. What happened? How could His Majesty carry her here like this? And without even warning her…
