What do you do if you wake up to find a beautiful woman lying next to you?
Many people probably wouldn't be able to answer this because they're completely baffled.
Feng Guang also encountered this problem: not only was there a beautiful woman in front of her, but she was also in the woman's arms.
Her reaction was calm; she even yawned, stretched with difficulty, and then kicked him again, saying, "Uncle Wang, it's time to get up."
Gu Yan opened his eyes, grabbed her fidgeting foot in the blanket, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty is so enthusiastic so early in the morning, do you want to get up and exercise?"
"No..." she backed down, "I just... saw it was getting late, so... so I woke you up."
"Your Majesty's thoughtfulness has deeply moved me." He chuckled softly, his hand under the covers moving up her leg. "If I don't find a way to thank Your Majesty, then I would be ignorant of etiquette."
"Um... you don't need to thank me, that's fine... um!"
Her lips were sealed.
After a blushing and heart-pounding morning exercise, Feng Guang finally emerged from the tent around lunchtime. Clutching her lower back and shaking her legs, she asked the radiant man beside her, "Why is my anklet back again?"
“It was Young Master Mu who asked me to give it to His Majesty last night while he was asleep.” Seeing that her steps were unsteady, Gu Yan stepped forward to support her. “Your Majesty, if you have difficulty walking, you may stay in the tent to rest.”
Feng Guang glared at him. Was she supposed to stay in the tent and continue to be tormented by him?! She said irritably, "I'm going to find Lan Tingrong and ask him how the war is going."
"Your Majesty...do you understand warfare?"
She choked back a sob. "If I don't understand, you'll explain it to me, won't you? Humph!"
She shook off his hand and walked straight to the main tent of the military camp.
Gu Yan shook his head, "Still so prone to throwing tantrums."
"But Your Highness never finds it annoying, does he?" Ke Huai had arrived at some point, and it was unclear how long he had been listening to their conversation. Yet, his face still wore the same melancholy smile as always.
Gu Yan slightly turned his head, "Young Master Ke, could it be that you dislike His Majesty's temperament?"
“Your Highness, there’s no need to test me.” Ke Huai said loudly, “His Majesty is beautiful, but he cannot win my heart. Moreover, I have neither the means nor the confidence to insert myself between His Majesty and Your Highness.”
Gu Yan stroked the white jade thumb ring on his finger and said with a faint smile, "Young Master is a smart man."
Ke Huai was not fooled by his gentle expression. He tried to get Feng Guang's attention simply because he wanted to leave the Ke family. He had also thought about using the Empress's power to take revenge on the Ke family. But when he left, seeing his timid father and stepmother who dared not look him in the eye, he suddenly felt that these people were just insignificant strangers. Why waste his time on them?
Ke Huai never hid his intention to get close to the Empress. The only thing that puzzled him was why the Empress would cooperate with his "good intentions" so much. During those few days, he rode in the same carriage with the Empress. Many people would have speculated about something romantic between them. But in fact, the Empress never touched him. She just gave him a book and asked him to read stories to pass the time. It was as if the strong interest she had in him when they first met under the tree had never existed.
He felt fortunate.
"Your Highness, is it true that you can help me leave?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Of course it's true."
Ke Huai bowed and said, "Then please help me leave, Your Highness."
