This time, Luo Jiu didn't fall asleep again on her way back to the palace; instead, she blushed the whole way.
Unexpectedly, after confirming their relationship, Gu Muchen's aloofness vanished, and he unleashed his ultimate flirting skills. Luo Jiu was stunned and couldn't resist.
Even after Luo Jiu strongly resisted Gu Muchen sending her to the palace, Luo Jiu's face was still red when she arrived at the palace. She wondered why she didn't get a veil, which would look good and also cover her face.
"Your Majesty, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" As soon as she got off the carriage, Yueying noticed Luo Jiu's unusual appearance and quickly stepped forward to ask. She even touched Luo Jiu's forehead with her hand.
"That's strange, there's nothing wrong with it..."
"Cough cough..." Luo Jiu coughed lightly twice, trying to cover up her true feelings, "I just ate something too hot and got a little feverish, it's nothing." Luo Jiu's voice was different from usual, sounding a bit hoarse this time, as if she really did have a fever.
"Oh, right, Yueying, get ready, I'm going to take a bath." Luo Jiu said, ignoring the reactions of the two behind her, and headed straight for the bedroom.
"This emperor is acting strangely... He was furious when he left this morning, but now... what's wrong with him?" Eunuch Li muttered to Yueying, puzzled.
Yueying shook her head, seemingly unsure of what was wrong.
...
Luo Jiu lay naked in a bathtub filled with flower petals. With a gentle lift of her hand, water mixed with petals slid down her arm.
Luo Jiu scooped up some more water and sprinkled it from her hands, letting out a pleasant laugh.
Thinking back to the carriage ride this afternoon...
Gu Muchen's broad, strong arms, his warm and powerful hands, and... that deep, husky, yet captivating voice... making promise after promise...
This man is mine...
Upon thinking of this, Luo Jiu couldn't help but laugh again.
After a moment, Luo Jiu seemed to remember something and asked:
-007, what if I accidentally win over the male lead and become his boyfriend?
【…Master, stop showing off…】 #I've been fed a mouthful of dog food again, a single dog is crying alone-ing#
-Seriously. I've won over the male lead, but what about Si Nanyin?
[This... is a secret that cannot be revealed.]
To be honest, I want to punch you.
Luo Jiu gave up on getting the cheat from the system and had to temporarily put aside her doubts.
Whenever I have some free time, I think of Gu Muchen again… Suddenly I have a boyfriend, tall, handsome, and powerful… This outstanding male lead is mine! Hehe!
[...] Women in love are terrifying... their minds are filled with pink bubbles.
...
The next day, the morning court session began.
Luo Jiu had never looked forward to the morning court session so much. She couldn't wait to see her still-warm boyfriend.
"Your Majesty, should we wear this hat with 'tassels' or the other one?" Yueying asked, pointing to the two hats in front of her.
Speaking of this, Luo Jiu remembered that after her birthday, there were still several foreign envoys in the capital, most of whom would be leaving today, so she might run into Si Nanyin.
If I get recognized, that would be so great...
“Wear this one with the 'tassel' on it.”
With the announcement of the Emperor's arrival, Luo Jiu entered the imperial court.
Throughout the entire morning court session, he dared not glance at Gu Muchen more than a few times, for fear of being discovered.
Unexpectedly, even though she wasn't looking at him, Gu Muchen kept staring at her, his gaze growing increasingly intense and frightening, which he couldn't hide even with his swaying tassels.
Luo Jiu coughed twice and asked, "Is the Holy Maiden of the Southern Kingdom here?"
