Chapter 21 Not Wearing It Is Love for You
Concubine Jin was shocked by her words.
She came from a noble family. Even after entering the palace, she only learned the rules of serving the emperor. She had never heard such shameless words.
She was speechless for a moment, and after a long while she managed to utter, "Yu Ronghua is being presumptuous."
He Yanchen frowned as soon as Yue Li finished speaking. She was really getting more and more bold.
Even though they were usually more casual with each other, she spoke so incoherently in public. If this got out, how would others view her?
He Yanchen wanted to scold her, but then he remembered her background.
She probably didn't learn anything good in Chunfeng Tower. When she was in the Jiangnan Palace, her words and actions were even more unruly.
In this way, she has restrained herself a lot after entering the palace.
Yueli didn't know that the man next to her had been thinking a lot during this period of time. Relying on the man's presence, she secretly hooked his hand in her sleeve and looked at him with aggrieved face.
I agreed to accompany her tonight.
He Yanchen was afraid that she would continue to say shocking things, so he took her hand and said, "It's getting late, Ji Ming, send Concubine Jin back."
"yes."
The man no longer cared about others and took Yueli back to Zhuoyu Palace.
As soon as the palace door closed, he pulled the woman's arm and pushed her against the door.
Yueli put her arms around his neck and looked up at him with her charming face: "Your Majesty, why are you still talking so much to Concubine Jin? I thought you were going to leave with her again."
He Yanchen sneered: "If I really leave, you will overturn the entire palace."
Hearing the sarcasm in his tone, Yueli's eyes widened: "Am I really so unreasonable in your Majesty's eyes?"
She snorted, "I dare not overturn the palace."
"If Your Majesty leaves, I will stand outside the Qiongyu Palace tonight. Your Majesty is better off sleeping with your eyes open."
Only she would dare to say such unreasonable words.
He Yanchen picked her up like a child and walked towards the bed: "Then I have to try it next time and see how Yu Ronghua can make me sleep with my eyes open."
"Your Majesty~"
The man chuckled softly in his throat. He put his arms around the woman's back, laid her on the couch, and leaned over to kiss her.
"Hmm..." Yueli had taken off her crane cloak the moment she entered the room. Now she was only wearing a thin nightgown. The sleeves slid down her fair skin, and one of her arms was wrapped around the man's neck.
The drawn curtains enclosed the bed into a small space, amplifying the sounds of lips and tongues, breathing and heartbeats, which gradually eroded people's sanity.
He Yanchen kissed her for a long time, so long that Yue Li felt her lips were swollen, and only then did he let her go.
The man put his arm around her waist, turned over and sat on the bed, letting her sit on his legs.
"I'm going to take a shower." He calmed down for a while before patting the woman's lower back and motioning her to go down.
Yueli hooked her fingers with his, her voice still trembling: "I will accompany you..."
"No need."
This was the first time He Yanchen rejected her. Yue Li was still kneeling on the couch in a daze until he entered the bathroom.
How could he refuse her?
A bathing pool was specially dug behind the Zhuoyu Palace because he previously complained that the bathtub was too small and it was not convenient for two people to bathe together.
I always feel that he has been a little weird since yesterday.
Half an hour later, the man came out of the bathroom with his upper body naked. Water droplets slid down his tight muscles to his waist, and his body was still steaming with heat.
"Your Majesty~" As soon as the man sat on the edge of the bed, Yueli hugged him from behind, "I have newly made pajamas. Do you think they look good?"
He Yanchen turned around and found that she had changed her clothes.
The light red fabric made her skin look even smoother than cream. There was very little fabric on her chest, and as she moved, her soft and tender skin was faintly visible.
The man's eyes gradually darkened, but in the end he did nothing. He just pulled the quilt over Yueli and carried her to the bed.
"I'm sleepy."
In the darkness, Yueli rested her head in the man's arms, unable to fall asleep even with her eyes open.
She felt that He Yanchen was really abnormal today.
Youyou's eyes unconsciously glanced down, and Yueli's fingers also slid down along his waist...
Suddenly, the man grabbed her wrist tightly, his voice a little hoarse: "Behave yourself and have a good sleep."
"I can't sleep." Yueli lay on his chest and looked at him in the faint moonlight.
"Don't disturb me even if you can't sleep." He Yanchen said deliberately without opening his eyes, "Do you want me to sleep in a different place?"
"I think Qiongyu Palace is good."
"No." Yue Li was provoked by him and immediately hugged the man's strong waist, forcing herself to close her eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "I will fall asleep soon."
The man's broad palm gently stroked her back. Calming incense was burning in the hall. Yue Li struggled for a while, but still couldn't resist the sleepiness, and her breathing gradually became smooth.
Outside the palace.
Ji Ming kept pacing back and forth outside anxiously. Lian Qiao looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong, father-in-law?"
Ji Ming glanced at her, sighed as if he wanted to say something, and continued pacing.
He breathed a sigh of relief only after the lights were turned off and no one called for water.
Ever since His Majesty flipped over Yu Ronghua's name today, he has been worried.
It would be fine for others, but Yu Ronghua is like a demon. Every time Your Majesty comes to the Zhuoyu Palace, she makes a fuss until midnight.
Fortunately, His Majesty did not act recklessly this time.
The next day.
Just after the beginning of the first lunar month, He Yanchen was going to court.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Yue Li's gaze.
"Awake so early?" The man's voice was lazy and mellow, and Yueli felt numb all over.
She rubbed her chin against the man's chest and said in a soft voice, "Since I went to bed so early yesterday, of course I woke up early."
Implying that he ignored her last night.
He Yanchen ignored her resentment, got up and went to wash up, leaving Yueli alone sitting on the bed sulking.
When he came out, Yueli didn't get up from the bed. She lay in the quilt with a soft pillow in her arms and looked at him.
Today was a small court meeting. Ji Ming came in holding the dragon robe, and several young eunuchs skillfully helped him change his clothes.
Yueli's eyes followed him: "Your Majesty looks so good in the dragon robe."
"Can I go before the Emperor later? I want to see more of His Majesty wearing the dragon robe."
It was not difficult to guess her little thoughts. He Yanchen didn't know why she cared so much about whether he approved the memorial or not, but it didn't stop him from teasing the woman.
The man chuckled, walked over and touched her cheek with the back of his hand:
"I love you by not wearing it."
