Yu Jingchen found Nan Zhiyun's behavior somewhat amusing. He didn't try to comfort her; he just wanted to see how she would react later.
Nan Zhiyun is now "too ashamed to face the world"... Can you imagine how he feels waking up in front of everyone? Was he a quiet sleeper? Did he talk in his sleep? Did he do anything inappropriate?
"Ugh..." Nan Zhiyun was filled with regret! His Majesty had gone too far!
"Sit still, sweetie," Yu Jingchen said helplessly, supporting her and patting Nan Zhiyun's back.
"Go back~" Nan Zhiyun felt uncomfortable all over.
"The Empress Dowager is still here, and there are so many ministers and their families below. Are you really going back like this?" Yu Jingchen was clearly saying this on purpose.
"Your Majesty... I beg you," Nan Zhiyun truly couldn't take it anymore. Yu Jingchen laughed with pleasure.
The ministers and their families below were completely dumbfounded, utterly stunned. What was going on up there? Was this still His Majesty?
"His Majesty truly dotes on Consort Shu. I think Consort Shu is quite adorable, and I really envy her." Bai Yusheng's tone was sincere, and her manner of speaking was genuinely innocent.
"Yun'er is a little girl, so naturally she needs to be pampered and coaxed. But today, Yun'er is really clingy," the Empress Dowager said with a smile.
“In this harem, Consort Shu is the youngest; she really is just a young girl,” Yan Qing chimed in.
"Hmm, you need to coax her. Isn't she shy now? She's hiding in her arms and won't come out. She feels ashamed to face anyone." Yu Jingchen rarely spoke to them like this.
"I'm sorry~" Nan Zhiyun said in a muffled voice, she was apologizing.
"Hmm?" Yu Jingchen's expression changed. What's going on? He's even apologizing?
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I was rude today. I didn't remember my place..." Nan Zhiyun's voice trembled with tears as she spoke.
Yu Jingchen was startled. Why was she crying? Was it that serious? He composed himself and pulled her back into his arms, his eyes filled with worry and guilt: "Why are you saying these things?" Yu Jingchen looked at the little girl in his arms, her eyes brimming with tears, looking incredibly pitiful.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong..." Nan Zhiyun's lips trembled, and she looked like she was about to cry. Yu Jingchen quickly pulled her into his arms: "It's alright, you did nothing wrong. It was my oversight that I brought you here. Be good, it's alright." Yu Jingchen felt a little remorseful.
"Waaah~" Nan Zhiyun felt wronged, and Yu Jingchen panicked and became flustered.
"You may continue. Consort Shu is unwell. I will take her to see a doctor first." Yu Jingchen picked her up and said in a cold voice. The next moment, he carried Nan Zhiyun away from the banquet hall.
"Respectfully seeing off His Majesty—!" No one dared to stop her. The Empress Dowager merely raised an eyebrow, then lowered her head to conceal the smile on her lips. This girl... tsk. The Empress Dowager shook her head slightly, clearly in a good mood.
Nan Su, below, also looked in the direction where Yu Jingchen had carried Nan Zhiyun away, his expression unreadable. He sat back down, picked up the wine on the table, and downed it in one gulp. Some things needed to be planned for sooner rather than later. He looked up at the Empress Dowager, recalling her earlier words, and a decision formed in his mind.
As for Bai Yusheng... she tightened her grip, she had thought she could seize the opportunity today.
