☆, Chapter 9 Missing and Kissing My Boyfriend
Eunuch Li returned to the palace where Qi Yu resided and reported, "Your Majesty, the rewards have been delivered to the Empress. She said she will come to thank you in person next time."
Qi Yu lay on the couch, his face slightly tired: "What was her reaction?"
Eunuch Li bowed slightly and whispered, "Her Majesty doesn't seem very happy."
Qi Yu frowned: "Fine, just send all the recent tribute of lychees to her."
He felt guilty, but whether there was anything else in that guilt, no one knows.
The next morning.
"Your Highness, it's snowing outside," Yue'er said as she helped her button up her clothes. "The snow seems to have come earlier than usual this year."
Chu Yuexi smiled gently: "I'll go pay my respects to the Emperor later. Go and tell the kitchen to prepare some snacks."
Yue'er looked at her in surprise: "Your Highness, aren't you going to do it yourself?"
It's no wonder outsiders are surprised; for the past ten years, she has always handled everything concerning him personally.
As for why, it's probably because of love.
Chu Yuexi closed her eyes, trying to hide the pain in her heart: "It's getting cold, and people are starting to feel lazy."
Yue'er, who had been by her side since childhood, seemed to have noticed her difference: "Is Your Majesty blaming the Emperor?"
Chu Yuexi smiled gently and slowly shook her head: "No."
If she doesn't blame him, then what does she blame?
Her father was a high-ranking official in the court. He had asked for her opinion, and she was willing to marry him because of the love she had felt at first sight when she was young. Later, her father sacrificed himself for the country. Protecting the country is the duty of a subject, and she did not blame him.
Later, at the coronation ceremony, she was reduced from a wife to a concubine, a tremendous humiliation. But in that instant, she seemed to understand that everything she had received came from her father.
With my father gone, everything is gone too.
She didn't blame him, she was just a little sad.
I miss my father a little.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Yue'er turned around and left without saying a word.
Chu Yuexi took the desserts to the Imperial View Hall. He was still wearing his yellow court robes, which made him look dignified and handsome.
Seeing the woman walking towards him, he stepped forward and asked, "Did you make these pastries yourself?"
"No, I ordered the kitchen to make it," she said, instructing a maid to bring it out and place it on the table.
Qi Yu seemed somewhat disappointed: "Sit down."
She reached out and casually picked up a piece, but seemed somewhat disinterested: "Do you still like the bracelet?"
"I like it, thank you for your thoughtfulness, Your Majesty."
Qi Yu looked down at her empty wrist, and after a long while, he said, "Yuexi, you seem a little different."
Has it changed? Maybe.
Her long love and waiting seemed to have been worn away little by little over the years, or perhaps in an instant.
Such intense feelings vanished just like that.
Almost no remains of the body were found.
Chu Yuexi chuckled softly: "Your Majesty is too kind."
After a few seconds of pause, she continued, "The weather's getting cooler, and people are becoming more lethargic; I might have gained some weight."
Qi Yu pinched her cheek and chuckled, "I've never heard you talk like that before."
Chu Yuexi was taken aback, then pursed her lips. It turned out that loving someone who doesn't love you back could wear down your personality in the hopeless waiting.
"The snow outside is getting heavier, let's stay here tonight," Qi Yu said, rubbing her head.
His eyes seemed to be filled with smiles.
It seems easy to get addicted to it.
For a fleeting moment, she seemed to suspect that he, too, might have...liked her.
But the illusion of happiness is only temporary. Eunuch Li announced that someone was requesting an audience. Qi Yu got up and walked towards the door, turning back to tell him, "Be good, wait for me to come back."
His tone was gentle and tender.
Chu Yuexi nodded gently and smiled tenderly: "Okay."
The man's palace was incredibly boring, just like him. With nothing else to do, she casually glanced at the wooden box beside the bed and chuckled softly.
Oh, so it turns out that gifts can be given in pairs.
It was something I expected, but the bitterness in my heart still clearly reminded me that I was still a little sad.
Song Zhiruo will have everything she has, and she will also have things she doesn't have.
Even if Song Zhiruo didn't have it, that person would do everything in his power to get it for her.
It's truly enviable.
Chu Yuexi seemed to be thinking about something, but then again, she wasn't.
"Brother Yu, have you been so busy lately? You haven't spent any time with me. I miss you so much, waaaah!" The woman clung to his sleeve and acted coquettishly.
Qi Yu patted the girl's head: "Yes, a little. I missed you too."
In a daze, Qi Yu remembered the woman inside the house.
Seeing that he seemed a little lost in thought, Song Zhiruo snuggled closer to him, her lips gently brushing against his Adam's apple: "Brother Yu, when you hug me, don't be distracted and think about anyone else, okay? Your heart and eyes must be filled with me."
"--Card"
"Tang Tang, the person before you is your lover, and also the emperor, not your prey. I didn't ask you to eat Jiang Mo just because you flirted with him."
Tang Tang looked a little strange and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Director, I didn't perform well just now."
The director waved his hand: "Let's continue."
Jiang Mo frowned, feeling that this woman... had ulterior motives.
Jiang Mo pulled the person in his arms closer. At this moment, he was Qi Yu, and he couldn't afford to think too much.
Tang Tang pressed herself against him again, stroking his Adam's apple and coaxing, "Brother Yu..."
Before she could finish speaking, there was a loud "bang" and Tang Tang had already fallen to the ground.
The assistant immediately helped her up, asking anxiously, "Sister Tang Tang, are you alright?"
Tang Tang looked at Jiang Mo, on the verge of tears, and asked, "Teacher Jiang, did I do something wrong?"
A beautiful woman sheds tears, her face like a pear blossom in the rain.
Jiang Mo rubbed his forehead: "Sorry, it was a slip of the hand. Let's try again."
After thinking for a moment, she spoke again: "Song Zhiruo is the person Qi Yu loves, not a courtesan who needs to seduce him to climb the social ladder."
It seemed that he had made a great decision before saying those words.
But Tang Tang felt that these words were more like a loud slap across her face.
Tang Tang clenched her fists tightly, trying her best to maintain her composure: "I'm sorry, Teacher Jiang, I understand."
Jiang Mo nodded, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Li Muli trying hard to suppress a laugh.
Isn't this... being too obvious about watching the drama unfold?
Tang Tang followed his gaze and immediately saw Li Muli.
The hatred in my heart was almost overflowing.
It's all because of Li Muli, who stole my role.
It was all her fault that everyone isolated her.
It was all her doing, treating her with the condescending attitude of someone watching a show.
Tang Tang glared at her fiercely, and Li Muli sensed a hostility. She looked up but saw nothing.
He lowered his head indifferently, thinking about what he should do after get off work.
I just got back and don't want to do anything complicated. I'll enjoy myself for a few more days.
Waaaaah, I haven't seen my boyfriend all day, I miss him so much.
I want to kiss, hug, and lift my boyfriend high in the air.
Li Muli pursed her lips, watching Tang Tang NG again and again.
After several takes, the director suddenly threw the book in front of him away: "Can you act or not? If you can't, get out of here so I can replace you."
Tang Tang immediately bowed and apologized: "I'm so sorry, Director. I'm not feeling well today. I'll be fine after a rest."
"Alright, take a break today, Tang Tang. You should consult with Mu Li and Actor Jiang. Even a newcomer acts better than you. If this continues, I'll replace you."
Tang Tang lowered her head: "Okay, director."
No one noticed that she closed her eyes, as many plans surfaced in her mind.
Li Muli, you forced me to do this.
