Chapter 486
"Your Majesty, this humble subject greets you."
"Your Highness has arrived."
Wen Xin stood up and held his arms with both hands. "Didn't I tell you that we don't need those formalities between us? You never listen."
Looking at the delicate and charming young queen before him, the regent's eyes softened, and he said gently, "The rules of propriety must not be disregarded."
The young empress scoffed, "Your Highness, you're so young, yet your thinking is so old-fashioned."
The Regent cupped her soft little hand in his palm. "Have I upset Your Majesty again?"
"What do you mean?" Wen Xin's eyebrows curved into a smile. "I am the Empress, how could I be so petty? Your Highness, please don't wrong me."
The Regent's eyes were filled with a deep smile. "Yes, Your Majesty is most wise and powerful."
Wen Xin: "..." Your Highness, you've fallen!
They've actually learned to flatter the king.
What happened to his upright and strict persona?
However, the little empress's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents, and the coldness, aloofness, and unpredictable mood she had just displayed had vanished without a trace. In its place was the playfulness, liveliness, and sweetness that a girl of her age should have, making him willingly go for it even though he knew it was like a moth drawn to a flame.
The regent gently stroked the girl's delicate, fair face with his fingertips. As long as her gentle gaze and smile belonged only to him, it would be worth sacrificing his life.
After the Regent entered the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Granny Wan led the palace servants to leave, and even the Imperial Guards guarding the outside were replaced by the Moon Shadow Guards.
Those unaware of the situation would only think that the regent was so domineering, completely disregarding the young empress and wantonly controlling her.
The trusted subordinates, including Granny Wan, who knew the truth, kept rolling their eyes: a bunch of idiots. The most loyal person to His Majesty in the whole world is the Regent.
They swore that whatever His Highness did, His Majesty would be the first to raise his hand in approval.
And control?
His Highness the Regent wants His Majesty to control him every day, however, cough cough... His Majesty is hopelessly addicted to romance and pleasure!
I wonder what kind of expressions people outside would have if they knew that these two leaders actually wished they could hand over power to each other?
As for replacing them with Moon Shadow Guards?
That's because the Moon Shadow Guards are all loyal.
Most importantly, well, the way His Majesty and His Highness interact in private is a bit best left unsaid to outsiders.
Given their identities, how could they possibly have a romantic relationship that crosses the line?
Not to mention that they are the most esteemed members of Fengyuan, who can stop them from doing whatever they want?
Besides, this is the masters' business. As servants, we should just be loyal and obey orders. Where do we get the courage to interfere in the masters' private affairs?
Do you think you have too much time on your hands?
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the regent took the young empress's hand and sat down, personally brewing tea for her.
Wen Xin asked with a smile, "Your Highness, is the scenery here beautiful?"
The Regent's gaze fell on her smiling face. "Yes, beautiful."
Wen Xin tilted her head and smiled gently: "Would Your Highness like to compose a few lines of poetry for this beautiful scenery?"
The Regent paused slightly, "Does Your Majesty wish to hear?"
He came to power at a young age, so he was naturally skilled in both literature and military affairs. His poetry may not be as good as those literary giants, but it was not bad either.
However, as the regent, his writings were filled with political intrigue and bloody battles, and he had long forgotten what romance and poetry meant.
However, he gazed intently at the girl before him. With her by his side, reciting poems and composing verses, adding fragrance to his life, was what truly captivated him.
Just as Wen Xin was about to say something, a jarring melody shattered the idyllic atmosphere in the pavilion.
The regent reached out to cover the young empress's ears, his brows furrowing. "Is Your Majesty in pain?"
Wen Xin raised her hand and placed it on the back of his hand, asking him to rub her ears.
Was the bastard male protagonist trying to murder her?
A Moon Shadow Guard reported from outside, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Third Princess of Nan Yue has fainted? Should we wake her up so she can continue playing the zither for Your Majesty?"
Wen Xin: "..."
She didn't know if the male lead's fingers would break if she kept playing, but she was afraid she would lose her ears.
Who is being tortured here?
But Her Majesty has once again spoken out first…
The Regent knew perfectly well that his young emperor had dug another hole for himself.
He suppressed a laugh and offered her a way out, saying, "Drag her back to his palace."
The Moon Shadow Guard should be.
Wen Xin winked at the Regent, her little face saying: Your Highness is truly my timely help.
I love you, mwah~
Regent: "..."
His ears turned slightly red, and he lowered his eyes somewhat embarrassed. "If Your Majesty wants to punish a villain, there are plenty of ways. Why make things difficult for yourself?"
In Jiang Yanche's eyes, the Empress was deliberately humiliating and tormenting him, but in the eyes of a certain prince, if His Majesty was targeting Jiang Yanche, then that was definitely his problem.
Even if she really was just using Jiang Yanche as a toy, so what?
As long as Your Majesty is happy.
But how could a toy turn around and hurt her?
Why not throw him into the dark dungeon? He has plenty of ways to make Jiang Yanche wish he were dead.
and……
The Regent's eyes darkened slightly. He disliked the young emperor paying too much attention to any one person, not even hatred.
How would you match Jiang Yanche?
