It was Su Qianyan. She was wearing a crimson dress today, but because the injury on her face hadn't fully healed, she was still wearing a veil. Yu Jingchen looked over and frowned.
"Your Majesty... I was ignorant of the rules before and offended you. I have been reflecting on myself in my room for the past two days and have also learned a piece of music. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to hear a piece of music?" Su Qianyan spoke softly and gently, which attracted the attention of many people.
"Su Baolin?" Yu Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the people below, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
“Yes…” Su Baolin was overjoyed to hear that Yu Jingchen still remembered her. Sure enough, His Majesty still liked her…
"Who gave you permission to wear this color?" Yu Jingchen's voice was like ice shards, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly turned somber.
Su Qianyan's heart tightened upon hearing Yu Jingchen's question; she had never imagined it would end like this. His Majesty clearly loved it when she wore this color of clothing…day and night…
"Your Majesty..." Su Qianyan looked wronged, tears streaming down her face, looking quite pitiful.
"Someone come here!" Yu Jingchen was not one to show mercy to women. With a single command, his men stood beside Su Qianyan.
"Strip her of these clothes!" Yu Jingchen looked extremely fierce, and his order surprised everyone. After all, Su Qianyan was, after all, the Emperor's concubine, and to have her outer garments stripped off in public would damage the royal family's reputation.
"Your Majesty!" Su Qianyan was also startled by this order.
"Tear it off!" Yu Jingchen was clearly furious.
The palace servants dared not delay any longer and immediately stripped Su Qianyan of all her scarlet outer garments.
Looking at Su Qianyan slumped on the ground, Yu Jingchen said coldly, "Don't touch what you shouldn't touch, otherwise, it won't be so simple next time. Go back!" Yu Jingchen's eyes were full of fierceness.
Nan Zhiyun was probably startled by Yu Jingchen's shout, and she couldn't sleep soundly, so she started to move around in Yu Jingchen's arms.
Yu Jingchen pulled Nan Zhiyun closer to his chest, patting her to comfort her, completely different from before. Nan Zhiyun was half asleep, muttering something unintelligible.
"Your Majesty~" Nan Zhiyun called out, glancing at Yu Jingchen, but she was too sleepy to keep her eyes open, and closed them again after calling out.
"Okay, I'm here. Go back to sleep." Yu Jingchen coaxed her. This girl was so asleep that she probably didn't even know what was going on.
"Mmm~" Nan Zhiyun buried her face in Yu Jingchen's arms and continued to sleep. What a carefree little girl.
"When that day comes, I'm going to sell you out," Yu Jingchen said, his face beaming with a smile.
"No~" Nan Zhiyun seemed to have heard it and actually responded, which made Yu Jingchen laugh out loud.
Xinglai, standing nearby, felt ashamed. This Consort Shu was truly remarkable; even just sleeping next to him could make His Majesty so happy.
The atmosphere outside was filled with singing and dancing, but Yu Jingchen paid no attention to any of that; he just kept staring at Nan Zhiyun.
"Tell me, Your Majesty, if you keep staring like this, will you still see anything special? Or are you saying that if you look away even a second, Consort Shu will run away?" Xinglai rolled her eyes, speechless. His Majesty is surprising everyone every day, completely oblivious to everything else; he's totally obsessed with love…
Meanwhile, Su Qianyan, who had been taken away, returned to her room and immediately began to rummage through the tea set on the table.
"Ah!" Su Qianyan shouted.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty is just angry," a palace maid comforted her.
"How could Your Majesty do this?!" Su Qianyan was unwilling to accept it.
"Baolin, don't be angry. His Majesty hasn't ordered any punishment, which shows that His Majesty still cares for you. There's no need for you to be angry," the palace maid continued.
Yes… His Majesty didn’t order me to be punished. He must still be reluctant to let me go. Just now, His Majesty was able to call me by my name, which means His Majesty cares about me. His Majesty must have noticed me, but it’s only because he has Consort Shu in his arms. Once Consort Shu is gone… His Majesty will only like me.
The reason His Majesty is so angry today must be because he doesn't want others to see such a charming side of himself. His Majesty cares about himself, and he must be jealous.
"Yes, His Majesty likes me. He definitely only wants me to wear this for him... His Majesty likes me." Su Qianyan kept comforting and reassuring herself... His Majesty likes her, he likes her.
The palace maid beside her saw Su Qianyan's expression and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips... She really is confident.
