Chapter 59 Milk
Click.
The tinderbox fell to the ground without warning. Yun Wan looked at the tall figure at the door, opened his mouth, and remained speechless.
Very surprised, yet not so surprised.
Emperor Jingxuan put down the food box in his hand and strode towards her.
Yun Wan stood there motionless.
Emperor Jingxuan picked up the tinder from the ground and lit the candle. Seeing her speechless, he let out a muffled laugh. His deep, pleasant voice faded as the light in the room gradually grew brighter.
"Why doesn't the lady say anything?"
The candlelight illuminated the room. The small space seemed a little cramped after he appeared, and even the air seemed to become thinner.
Yun Wan shifted her position, glanced at the food box on the table, and asked, "Where's Fuling?"
The person who was supposed to show up with the lunch box didn't show up.
Emperor Jingxuan casually picked up the wick, making the candlelight brighter. Hearing this, he mused, "She didn't want to disturb me and my wife, so she went back."
This statement raised eyebrows. Yun Wan opened his mouth and asked, "Is she your Majesty's?"
Her tone was questioning, but her eyes were overly confident. The dim candlelight illuminated her eyes, which were as clear as glass. Emperor Jingxuan saw his own shadow clearly, and suddenly he had the illusion that his wife's heart and eyes were full of him.
He suddenly curled his lips, a slight arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his deep and three-dimensional eyebrows cast a faint shadow under his eyelids.
"Madam is very clever. She guessed it so quickly."
He stared at Yun Wan with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Yun Wan pursed her lips. Is there any need to guess? Considering all the reactions before and after, isn't the result obvious?
She took a deep breath and simply asked, "And was this room also arranged by His Majesty?"
Everything, including all of this, one link after another, is related to him.
Emperor Jingxuan did not say a word, nor did he refute it.
Although he had suspected it a long time ago, Yun Wan couldn't help but take a breath after getting the confirmation, and his eyes changed slightly when he looked at him.
The smile in his eyes faded a little, and Emperor Jingxuan lowered his eyes and said, "Madam, are you angry?"
Yun Wan raised her head: "If I am angry, will His Majesty let me go?"
"Won't."
Mo Shen's pupils were icy cold, and his tone was dangerous and brooked no argument: "Madam, don't even think about leaving."
Then what's the point of him asking this question?
Yun Wan couldn't help feeling depressed.
Considering his identity, she frowned and turned away.
Emperor Jingxuan was over eight feet tall, and from his angle, he could just catch her depressed expression, and his heart sank slightly.
"Madam, just say whatever you want to say. Don't keep it in your heart."
He walked around to Yun Wan and put his hand on her shoulder.
The burning temperature was clearly felt through the fabric. Yun Wan's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was clear and pleasant: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Emperor Jingxuan: "Come over if you want to see Madam."
He raised his hand to her bun and gently pushed it to straighten the golden hairpin that had become crooked after her nap.
His fingertips stroked her beautiful black hair, moving all the way down to stop at her fair and soft earlobe. Her light blue earring was entangled with a strand of hair at some point.
Yun Wan felt an itch in her ears, and she subconsciously turned her head but was stopped.
"Don't move."
Emperor Jingxuan cupped his palms on her cheeks and rubbed her earlobes with his fingertips. After a moment, he took off the earrings that were entangled in her hair.
Yun Wan touched her ear and reached for her earrings.
The moment his fingertips touched the earrings, he suddenly closed his five fingers and unexpectedly held her fingers.
Then the strength increased inch by inch, and Yun Wan's entire hand was wrapped by him.
He didn't try to pull it out, on the contrary, his grip became tighter. Yun Wan felt a surge of heat in her palms, and she simply stopped struggling.
She swallowed lightly in her throat and whispered, "...I've already seen him at noon."
A light laugh rang out, and Emperor Jingxuan said with a half-smile, "That doesn't count. Madam didn't even look at me."
Isn't it because he wanted to play a trick on me?
Her calves are still sore now, all thanks to him!
As if sensing something, Emperor Jingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a gleam of light flashing across his face. "Madam, could it be that you are cursing me in your heart?"
"Yun Wan doesn't dare."
Emperor Jingxuan lowered his head, his gaze fixed on her radiant profile. "Madam, has anyone ever told you that this is what you look like when you say one thing and mean another?"
Her cheeks were slightly puffed, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes glanced away, as if she didn't want to look at anyone.
She seems quiet and reserved, but in fact she has a more stubborn temper than anyone else.
But this also has an advantage, which is that it shows that she is an emotional person, not a jade Buddha who has the same expression for everyone.
Is there?
Yun Wan paused.
While she was thinking secretly, Emperor Jingxuan had already pulled her to the table.
As soon as the two-layer food box was opened, the rich smell of food instantly hit Yun Wan's face, arousing his appetite.
Emperor Jingxuan touched the wall of his bowl and said leisurely, "It's still hot, eat it while it's hot."
It was her own dinner, so Yun Wan sat down, picked up the celadon bowl of porridge, and began to eat slowly.
The porridge was a rice porridge with milk and honey, cooked until soft and sticky, with a mellow and sweet taste. The other two dishes were yam cake and crystal shrimp, both of which were light in flavor.
Yun Wan likes it very much.
But there was a burning gaze watching her like a shadow, and she couldn't eat comfortably no matter what.
After swallowing a mouthful of porridge, Yun Wan asked with concern, "It's getting late, Your Majesty, isn't it time for you to have dinner?"
Her eyes were full of sincerity, and she hoped that he would go back quickly so as not to miss dinner.
Emperor Jingxuan's eyes turned to her face, "Madam, are you concerned about me?"
That’s not wrong, Yun Wan nodded slightly.
Emperor Jingxuan suddenly laughed heartily: "Madam, now that you mention it, I am actually a little hungry."
Yun Wan's eyes could not hide her hope.
But he asked, "How does the porridge taste, Madam?"
Yun Wan was stunned for a moment, then said truthfully, "It smells very fragrant... very sweet."
I don’t know how the chef in the imperial kitchen prepared the porridge, but the milk tasted mellow and had no fishy smell. Even Yun Wan, who usually didn’t like to eat food mixed with milk, had finished half a bowl of porridge.
Emperor Jingxuan's gaze was gloomy, fixed on the spot beside her lips, and he sighed helplessly: "Madam, how can you still be like a child? Even when drinking a bowl of porridge, you can get milk on the corner of your mouth?"
Yun Wan was startled when he heard this and subconsciously looked for a mirror.
However, just as she was about to stand up, Emperor Jingxuan grabbed her shoulders with a wolf-like look:
"I will help my wife."
After he finished speaking, he lifted Yun Wan's chin and leaned over to lick her.
The hot tip of his tongue, with a strong and domineering breath, licked the milk from the corner of her lips.
Emperor Jingxuan's eyes darkened, and a vague, low voice emerged: "It is just as Madam said, fragrant... and sweet."
The whimpering sound escaped and was swallowed up in a moment.
