Everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the Southern Emperor.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the Southern Emperor did not show up. Instead, the eunuch from the Palace of Heavenly Purity came to report that the Southern Emperor had something else to do and would come later, so the Imperial Concubine could have her meal first.
Bei Yutang responded with a smile, but in her heart she understood the Southern Emperor's thoughts. It wasn't that he was busy with official duties, but perhaps he was simply feeling anxious because he couldn't be by his lover's side.
"Your Majesty, why don't you eat something first?" Jinchai suggested carefully, fearing that she would be hungry.
Bei Yutang waved her hand, "It's okay, I'll be waiting."
Although she was very hungry, she could still endure this little suffering in order to keep the Southern Emperor.
It was gradually getting dark. The eunuch who went to investigate had reported back and forth several times. As long as Nan Shaotian didn't go to Xia Yuwei, she wouldn't worry.
"My lady, why don't you eat something first?"
When Jin Zhuo said this, Bei Yutang keenly heard a pair of steady footsteps in his ears. The footsteps were very familiar, they were those of the Southern Emperor.
Logically, someone should have informed him of his presence, but since no one had come, he was probably planning a surprise inspection. In that case, Bei Yutang couldn't afford to miss this opportunity to improve his favorability.
"I cannot dine with Your Majesty. I have no appetite." Bei Yutang's clear and graceful voice sounded faintly, with a deep sense of loss in her tone.
"Your Majesty, you are still sick. Eat something, otherwise His Majesty will be distressed." Jin Chaizi advised her kindly.
"No problem. I'm worried that Your Majesty might forget to eat because of official business." Bei Yutang said worriedly, "I'll wait for Your Majesty at the door."
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that you are still ill and should not be exposed to the wind." The golden bracelet stopped her.
"There's no need to persuade me. I just want to see His Majesty sooner rather than later."
"Empress!"
The two palace maids couldn't stop her, so Bei Yutang stood up and just as she walked out the door, she saw a bright yellow figure appear at the door. Bei Yutang looked at the person with joy, and her dull phoenix eyes instantly lit up and sparkled.
Nan Shaotian bumped into those sparkling phoenix eyes without any warning. Those pure and clear eyes were so clean that his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Looking at her pale face and bright eyes, she is undoubtedly like a shining pearl in the dark night, making it difficult for people not to notice her.
"You're still sick, why did you get out of bed?" Nan Shaotian didn't want to admit that he was attracted by her eyes for a moment, and his tone was sincere.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I miss you."
Bei Yutang was not good at this kind of naked expression of love, but it was what the original owner found most uncomfortable.
"I didn't come to see you."
When I walked into the hall, I saw that the dishes on the table were untouched.
Nan Shaotian looked at the already cold meal and asked, "My dear, haven't you eaten yet?"
"I have no appetite." Bei Yutang said shyly and embarrassedly.
Nan Shaotian originally thought that she would take the opportunity to bring up what she had just said, but he didn't expect that she didn't pick out the key points, but instead said the most useless words.
Which concubine didn't want him to know how important she was, yet this person, who should have said so the most, didn't say it. He couldn't help but think of the conversations between them before, as if she had never said so before.
Her actions, when compared with those of other concubines, made her seem more sincere towards him, which made him happy.
