"No, I only like you."
"You men, especially those who are emperors, will do it even if you don't like it, for the sake of a certain balance..."
He interrupted her, "Those men don't include me. I'm not Yan Tingyuan. I have the ability to prevent them from influencing my choices."
"Do you have a nickname?"
"No."
She had no one behind her, so naturally no one gave her a nickname. Her coming-of-age ceremony was also held casually, and no one gave her a courtesy name.
"Then I can call you Ali, okay?"
"Um."
"Ali, be my queen, okay?"
"oh."
"Oh, I agree."
"You talk too much. Stop talking. I'm sleepy." She closed her eyes.
"Okay." Yan Tinglan leaned against her neck and hugged her contentedly.
The strange touch against her skin, along with the other person's warm breath, Zhu Fuli resisted the urge to push him away.
He is the emperor.
Yan Tinglan was happy in her heart that she was finally bolder towards him.
Seeing that he was holding her quietly without any other movements, Zhu Fuli felt relieved and slowly fell asleep.
Noticing her breathing becoming calmer, Yan Tinglan opened his eyes, gently moved her head, and leaned over to kiss her on the lips.
Qingqing, Ali, I found you, you are mine.
She waved her hand in her sleep, and Yan Tinglan grabbed it skillfully, interlocking his fingers with hers, with a smile on his face.
Once you grab it, you'll never let go.
I guess every life from now on will be related to you.
Yan Tinglan was so excited that he did not sleep all night. He just kept watching her and only felt a little sleepy at dawn the next day.
The work and rest schedule that Zhu Fuli had developed over a long period of time made him open his eyes at almost dawn. Unexpectedly, he was met with a pair of beautiful eyes that were a little red but full of excitement.
"Your Majesty, have you not slept all night?" She asked hesitantly, her voice slightly hoarse from having just woken up.
"Well, I was a little excited seeing you, and I couldn't sleep," he said bluntly.
Zhu Fuli was silent for a moment, "Doesn't the emperor have to go to court?"
"It's a day off today, so you don't have to go." He hugged her again, "Ali, can you sleep with me for a while?"
"Um."
Hearing this, he held her in his arms and closed his eyes.
Zhu Fuli couldn't help but move, and Yan Tinglan held her and changed her position, letting her lie on the other side.
Zhu Fuli was a little surprised. How could he know what he wanted to do?
Yan Tinglan closed his eyes and patted her back gently.
Zhu Fuli stared at him for a while, then looked away and his gaze fell on the roses outside the window.
Things developed in a direction she had never expected. He suddenly told her the royal secrets, and suddenly said that he fell in love with her at first sight, and made no secret of his liking for her.
She obviously shouldn't let her guard down, but his tone was sincere and his expression was focused and serious, and he even stayed up all night just because he saw her excited.
He seemed to really enjoy himself.
Zhu Fuli watched for a while, then felt sleepy lying on the bed with nothing to do, so he took a nap.
Let it be.
Yan Tinglan took a nap for an hour, then got up, remembering not to let her go hungry.
Zhu Fuli sat in his arms for a while, then came to her senses and said, "Your Majesty, let me go. I need to go wash up."
"Don't call me emperor, call me husband." He rested his chin on her shoulder and held her tightly.
Zhu Fuli was somewhat helpless, "Husband."
Yan Tinglan leaned in and kissed the corner of her lips, causing her eyelashes to tremble and her eyes to be filled with surprise.
"I kiss my wife, can't I?"
The soft feeling spread from the corners of his lips to his heart, bringing with it a strange tingling sensation. Zhu Fuli felt a little overwhelmed, and his heartbeat became a little erratic.
While she was distracted, Yan Tinglan carried her out of bed and took her to wash up.
Yan Tinglan ignored the surprised looks of the palace maids, waved them away, and covered her face with a dry handkerchief.
"I'll do it myself." Zhu Fuli grabbed his wrist.
"Ali, can you give me a chance to express your sincerity?" He gently wiped her cheek and then stared into her eyes.
