"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Sister Liang Fei just wants to let Your Majesty and me know that she has learned etiquette well. Sister Liang Fei, do you think what I said is right?" Bei Yutang looked at her with a smile.
Xia Yuwei looked at the smile on her face and felt it was particularly dazzling. However, when she saw Nan Shaotian's indifferent expression, her eyes were full of sorrow and she replied aggrievedly, "Your Majesty is right."
Xiao Yan said coldly, "I think this etiquette is not even half as good as that of the noble concubine. Starting tomorrow, Concubine Liang, go back and study the etiquette carefully. When you have learned it, you can come out."
Concubine Liang's eyes widened, full of hurt. "I obey your command."
Xiao Yan hugged Bei Yutang and walked past her until they were very far away. Concubine Liang seemed to be frozen and kept kneeling in the same place.
"My queen, please get up quickly." Xia He looked at her queen with a distressed look on her face.
Xia Yuwei stood up, her frail body swaying as if she would fall down at any moment.
Shao Tian, are you really acting?
Xia Yuwei was supported by a palace maid as she walked. Her eyes were wandering and she looked as if all her energy had been drained away from her.
Seeing her like this, Xia He felt heartbroken, but she didn't know how to comfort her. Now, no matter what she said, it would not make the Empress feel relieved, unless the Emperor did.
On the other side, Bei Yutang and Xiao Yan walked hand in hand, completely ignoring the woman behind them who had been abused by them to the point of crying and even full of resentment.
"You came at the right time." Bei Yutang smiled like a flower, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at him.
It’s great that he’s back!
The two held hands tightly and looked at each other from time to time. The sweetness could be clearly felt by everyone around them.
"I just learned how to make a pastry. I'll make it for you today."
"good."
After returning to Chenxiao Palace, Bei Yutang went into the small kitchen. Xiao Yan did not wait inside the palace, but accompanied her in the kitchen. They were the only ones in the kitchen.
"Is there anything I can do?" Xiao Yan looked at her eagerly.
"You knead the dough."
"Okay." Xiao Yan rolled up his sleeves and just when he stretched out his hand halfway, Bei Yutang slapped his hand away with a click.
"You haven't washed your hands yet."
"Oh." Xiao Yan was turning around when she took his hand and led him to the basin of water beside him. Her soft little hand gently stroked each of his fingers.
The gentle rubbing of his fingertips sent a surge of electricity through his limbs and bones, converging in his lower abdomen. A suspicious little flame flickered faintly in Xiao Yan's deep eyes.
Xiao Yan suppressed his restless heart and watched her attentively as she washed her hands for him.
"alright."
When her hand loosened, Xiao Yan unconsciously held her hand again. He didn't want the tenderness in her hand to leave.
Bei Yutang looked at him in surprise, but did not shake off his hand and let him hold it.
"You can let go now."
If you don't let go, you won't have any hands left to knead the dough.
Bei Yutang blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes, with a faint smile between her brows. The meaning conveyed in her eyes made Xiao Yan let go of his hand in embarrassment.
The years are peaceful and quiet. It would be great if it could always continue like this.
"Have you kneaded the dough? I've already prepared everything here." Bei Yutang prepared the ingredients and turned around to meet the astonished gaze of the Southern Emperor.
As soon as Nan Shaotian woke up, he looked at the dough in his hand in surprise, and noticed Bei Yutang who was concentrating on tearing flower petals beside him. The soft light shone on her body through the window lattice, and she seemed to be covered with a faint halo. Looking at that half-exposed perfect profile, his eyes couldn't help but stare at her.
