Chapter 375: The Little Scholar in Male Disguise and the Amazing Emperor 32
When the hunting trip was over, Yelu Zongzheng was even more reluctant to leave than Chajiu.
The grassland is vast, and there are not so many eyes watching us all the time.
During this time, Yelu Zongzheng ate, lived and slept with Chajiu, which was very comfortable and sweet.
But when they return to the capital, Cha Jiu will have to leave the palace and go home after court every day, and he can only stay in the palace with green tiles and high walls. The time they can spend together is very little, and they have to be on guard against the eyes of people around them at all times.
Just thinking about it, Yelu Zongzhen felt suffocated and depressed.
On the way back to Beijing, Cha Jiu noticed the emperor's depressed mood and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened to you? If you feel unwell, please ask the imperial physician."
Seeing the concern and worry in his beloved's eyes, Yelu Zongzhen's irritability and gloom dissipated a little.
There is no one around.
He scooped up his hands, held Cha Jiu's slender waist and carried her onto the imperial carriage.
Cha Jiu exclaimed: "This is against the rules!"
Yelu Zongzheng sat down and placed her on his lap. He held her waist tightly with one hand to prevent her from escaping, and stroked the back of her neck with the other hand, his eyes full of pity.
"You haven't given me a clear answer on the grassland yet." His voice was low and uneasy: "When we return to Beijing, will you still stay with me?"
Yelu Zongzheng never believed that a woman's innocence and true feelings were the same thing.
There are many women on the grassland who have changed their husbands several times. Even if Cha Jiu had physical intimacy with him, she still has the right to choose someone else in the future.
He wanted to know what she meant in person.
Cha Jiu saw the nervousness and panic hidden deep in his eyes.
She sighed and stopped struggling. She put her hands around his neck and looked at him seriously, saying, "The world is so big, but only with your Majesty is where my heart is. If I don't stay, where else can I go?"
Yelu Zongzheng could no longer contain his love and held her tightly in his arms: "How about staying in the palace? I'll have someone arrange a place for you in Yangxin Palace, so that you and I can see each other often."
Cha Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can a minister live in Yangxin Palace every day?"
"You are not a subject, you are a minister."
Cha Jiu: “What is the difference between the two?”
Yelu Zongzheng smiled, tilted his head slightly, and kissed her cold earlobe, his eyes full of tenderness: "My love, my dear."
Cha Jiu didn't expect that the two words "Ai Qing" could be interpreted like this by him.
Ambiguous and intimate.
The jade-like neck instantly showed a shy pink color.
This made Yelu Zongzheng unable to help but lower his head to peck, kiss and lick it.
In the end, both of them had lost their voices, their hair was messy, and their cheeks were flushed.
Yelu Zongzheng's rough fingertips repeatedly stroked the red marks on her neck, and he said hoarsely, "Don't get off. This carriage has two layers of soft cushions, and it's spacious and stable. It's more comfortable to sit in than yours."
Even if Cha Jiu wanted to go down now, he couldn't.
The guards and palace maids had already gathered outside, and the accompanying ministers were also getting on the carriages not far away.
As soon as she went down, she would be seen.
Yelu Zongzheng added: "There are your favorite snacks on the table, and on the right are some books you usually read. You can read them to relieve your boredom."
So well prepared
This guy must have planned to put her on the carriage!
However, Yelu Zongzheng's carriage was indeed much more comfortable, and Cha Jiu suffered less on the bumpy journey back to Beijing.
But the comfortable cushion was of no use at all.
Every time Cha Jiu woke up from a nap, he found himself lying in someone's arms.
“…”
Forget it, it’s more comfortable than a soft mattress, and it keeps the temperature constant and is very warm.
Go back to sleep.
Cha Jiu had a pleasant journey to the capital.
…
No matter how long the road back to the palace is, it will eventually come to an end.
Yelu Zongzheng was very reluctant to let the carriage stop in the palace.
Cha Jiu stepped out of his arms, straightened her appearance, and looked up at him: "Your Majesty, I am leaving now."
"Let's go." Yelu Zongzhen was nostalgic for her fragrance and warmth that remained in his arms.
As a result, Cha Jiu had only taken a few steps after getting off the carriage when another carriage followed behind him.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was Yelu Zongzheng who had changed to an inconspicuous carriage and insisted on sending her home.
Xiao Shunzi sighed, thinking that since His Majesty was sending her off like this, she would not have to stay at Lord He's house for dinner before returning to the palace.
Fortunately, Yelu Zongzhen knew his limits and couldn't bear to send her any further. His reluctance turned into action, and he pushed Cha Jiu to a secret corner at the door of his house and kissed her until both of them were out of breath and then they separated.
"Come in, it's getting late."
Yelu Zongzheng lowered his head and scraped away the honey from her lips with his fingertips. He was reluctant but finally let her go.
Cha Jiu walked seven or eight steps inside, turned around, and saw him still standing there looking at her.
The sky had grown completely dark.
The escaping setting sun took away the last ray of afterglow from his shoulders, completely shrouding his figure in the darkness of the eaves.
He is clearly the supreme being who holds the entire world in his hands.
But now, because of her departure, I feel lonely as if I have nothing.
But he didn't say anything to keep him.
This is what Yelu Zongzhen did.
He knew that Cha Jiu had his own path to follow, whether it was returning home or pursuing a career in officialdom.
Therefore, he never really stopped her, but left the smooth path to her, and left the reluctance, patience, waiting, and protection to himself.
System: "My eyes are going to pee."
"Go ahead and pee."
Cha Jiu pondered in his heart.
Then she turned around and ran towards Yelu Zongzheng.
The emperor was slightly startled, then opened his arms and embraced his beloved.
