Chapter 63 Watching the Stars
Wen Wanyu suppressed her laughter and cleared her throat: "Isn't it funny? Then I'll find another concubine."
She thought for a moment, "Once upon a time, there was a little boy who insisted on wearing his grandfather's hat.
His mother refused, and the boy cried, so his grandfather couldn't bear it and gave it to him.
Unexpectedly, the boy put on his hat and suddenly turned to his mother and said:
'Look, I look like your dad when I put on a hat.'"
This joke never gets old, and it makes you laugh every time you hear it. Wen Wanyu laughed out loud twice.
Xie Junyao remained unmoved, staring at her without blinking, as if asking, "Is this really funny?"
"Isn't it funny?"
Wen Wanyu was hit hard and hung her head in frustration. Xie Junyao laughed along with her: "Yeah. Funny."
Wen Wanyu: “…” It’s better not to laugh.
Wen Wanyu's eyes lit up, and he thought of an even funnier joke.
"Once upon a time, one day, the little animals in the river were taking an exam.
Teacher Xia asked Xiaoyu, "You cheated in the exam this time. Who did you copy from?"
The little fish said, "I'm sorry, teacher. I copied the clam (I'm awesome)."
The teacher was so angry that he laughed, "You are so stupid."
Seeing her smile, Xie Junyao couldn't help but smile, and his smile widened a little. It was a smile from the heart.
Wen Wanyu saw him smile. With a sense of accomplishment, she said, "Your Majesty, you smiled! Isn't that interesting?"
Xie Junyao's voice was filled with laughter: "Wanwan's stories are very interesting."
However, what really made him laugh was not these stories, but the attitude of the young woman in front of him who never gave up and never gave up.
You may be dejected one second and rally the next.
Wen Wanyu took a few steps closer to him, her eyes discreetly avoiding the memorials on the table. "Your Majesty, are you very busy today? Do you have many memorials to review or government affairs to attend to?"
Xie Junyao didn't know what she wanted to do, but he still told the truth, "Not much. What's wrong?"
Wen Wanyu glanced out the window. The sky at sunset was filled with a faint afterglow and a unique indigo color.
She stared out the window for a long time without saying anything.
Xie Junyao followed her gaze and saw nothing special.
An ordinary day and night.
"Then after the Emperor has dealt with government affairs and approved memorials, could you accompany me to a place?"
Wen Wanyu's eyes curved downward, a brilliant afterglow in them. She was so sincere that it was impossible to refuse her.
Xie Junyao nodded: "Okay."
Wen Wanyu's smile deepened, "Great."
…
At night
Xie Junyao was brought to the foot of the city wall by Wen Wanyu.
Xie Junyao crossed his arms and thought for a moment: "Why did you bring me to the corner tower?"
Wen Wanyu took his arm and said, "Your Majesty and I will know when we come up."
The Corner Tower was the highest point in the palace. It was always patrolled and guarded by soldiers. Before she entered the palace, she had wanted to climb the tower to see the stars up close. However, as a concubine, she was not allowed to go up to the tower.
So, taking advantage of Xie Junyao's bad mood, he dragged him along. The soldiers couldn't stop the emperor, right?
Xie Junyao let her go.
That's fine.
Wen Wanyu had a weak constitution. In the second half of the journey, he took two steps and rested for two. It took him more than a quarter of an hour to reach the destination that should have taken half a quarter of an hour.
Xie Junyao was speechless and wanted to carry her on his back or in his arms, but she refused.
Her reason was to prove herself.
I was already out of breath after climbing up the corner tower.
Xie Junyao smiled, "Do you want to force yourself next time?"
Wen Wanyu leaned against the city wall exhausted, "I'm awesome!"
Her words reminded Xie Junyao of the joke she had told him. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Yeah, that's great."
After she calmed down, she asked, "So, why did you bring me here?"
Wen Wanyu blinked slightly: "Your Majesty, can we go to the eaves?"
She had never been to the eaves to watch the stars. In the past, when she watched martial arts TV dramas, she envied them for having the ability to fly to the eaves.
But Xie Junyao refused without a second thought: "No."
Wen Wanyu tilted her head, looking confused: "Why?"
And he said simply: "Dangerous."
Wen Wanyu: “…”
The eaves here are not difficult to climb, you can jump up in two jumps. It is not too high.
Wen Wanyu said calmly, "The eaves are so high, it won't matter if the emperor is afraid."
Xie Junyao narrowed his eyes slightly.
He, scared?
"Heh." He half chuckled, "I'm scared?"
Wen Wanyu nodded obediently.
Then I felt someone holding my waist tightly, and I was firmly trapped in his arms. The next moment, I felt him carrying me and "flying" to the roof.
When their feet touched the ground again, they were already on the roof.
Wen Wanyu's eyes were filled with a smile. The provocation method always worked.
Xie Junyao glanced at her and grabbed her arm, "Why, are you happy?"
"Happy!"
Wen Wanyu kissed his chin gently.
Xie Junyao suddenly let go of her hand and moved two steps to the side.
Without support, Wen Wanyu felt she couldn't even stand steadily, so she quickly moved over and held his arm.
With wet eyes, she said, "Your Majesty, please don't be so far away from me."
Xie Junyao snorted lightly.
Wen Wanyu pulled him to sit down.
Pointing to the twinkling stars in the sky, she said, "Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I like to look up at the stars."
Xie Junyao moved his lips.
In the dark night, the stars twinkle, twinkle, and twinkle in the sky, flickering and dimming like a gem.
"Wanwan, so you are trying to cheer me up?"
Wen Wanyu looked at him: "The emperor just found out?"
Xie Junyao rubbed her head.
——
The eldest princess moved to Changlixuan three days later.
Wen Wanyu took her to the bedroom. "How is it? Do you still like it?"
The eldest princess nodded excitedly: "I like it, I like it very much."
"Thank you, Sister Ling."
Wen Wanyu smiled, "You're welcome."
"From now on, treat this place as your home. Tell me what you want to eat or what you need. Don't be restrained, okay?"
"Okay, Yuer got it."
