Someone lowered his head with interest, peering down between her legs. He saw her long, fair legs partially exposed outside her long skirt, her right foot slightly upturned, outlining an alluring curve. Mu Beichen raised an eyebrow and smiled with amusement: "Hmm...very long and slender legs, it's just a pity the skin is a bit rough..."
"What are you looking at? It's not like I haven't seen it before!" Yu Qianqian quickly got up, lifted her skirt to cover her exposed skin, and glared at him angrily. This damn man had forcibly held her down and looked her up and down, and even commented on her rough skin. Even if she didn't care about her reputation, she would accept it. But thinking about it carefully, his words were a trap no matter what, and she had to swallow her anger.
While the man was elegantly gazing up at the sky, she slapped her thigh and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, how did you know I was here?"
"Hey! You haven't been following me all this time, have you?" Yu Qianqian's face darkened, and she felt extremely annoyed for no reason.
"Following you?" Mu Beichen turned to look at her, and sighed dramatically, "It's all because you were running around everywhere. Overnight, you alarmed everyone in the palace and had to search the whole world for the missing Empress. If you hadn't shown up, it might have caused chaos throughout the land."
"Ah! No way?" Yu Qianqian exclaimed and jumped, almost tumbling down the edge of the roof.
How could she forget that everyone in the palace has to revolve around the Emperor and Empress at all times? She had only been gone for a few hours, yet she had already caused chaos inside and outside the palace. It seems that being a woman who sits around waiting to die here is not easy. As long as she is still the Empress, she is destined to be firmly bound by these palace rules.
After thinking it over, she decided it was better not to be empress. She changed her mind and prepared to jump off the roof. As she bent over, her stomach rumbled loudly, which sounded particularly loud in the silent night.
Yu Qianqian had almost no free time all day. She only ate a grilled fish casually at the Mingyue Palace. In fact, that little bit of food was not enough to fill her stomach. It was only at this moment that she realized she was starving.
Clutching his stomach with both hands, he lay on the ground in despair, when he saw several strings of bright red things swaying in his blurred vision.
Yu Qianqian stared intently at the man opposite her, who was holding a large handful of candied hawthorns. Her eyes lit up like stars, and she leaped up from the ground with a quick tug, landing squarely in Mu Beichen's arms.
Mu Beichen's body swayed from the impact, but he caught Yu Qianqian steadily with his right hand, which was holding the candied hawthorn. At that moment, an impatient look flashed in his eyes. He held the candied hawthorn above his head, teasing her, and smiled playfully, "Does it smell good?"
Before her eyes, a tall and elegant man was laughing and reveling under the moonlight. His wide robe sleeves fluttered in the night sky, transforming into layers of shadowy figures in Yu Qianqian's eyes. The dazzling starlight reflected off the robes, creating a beautiful scene like fireflies dancing in the night.
"I brought this especially for you..." Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly tackled to the ground by the lively little woman in his arms.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Yu Qianqian snatched all the candied hawthorns in one go. She glanced at the bewildered Mu Beichen, then at the bright red, plump candied hawthorns, and finally grinned with satisfaction.
