Qin Ge's body trembled slightly. He narrowed his eyes and parted his pale lips slightly: "Your Majesty's actions..."
"Hmm?" Jun Chenbi's voice sounded like a hum from his nose, with a low and deep tone.
Qin Ge calmly added, "Very flamboyant."
As soon as those two words were spoken, Jun Chenbi paused for a moment, then his hand on Qin Ge's neck suddenly tightened, and he chuckled, "How dare you slander me? Who gave you the audacity?"
As he spoke, Jun Chenbi placed his long fingers behind the boy's neck, causing Qin Ge to turn his head and look at him. A hint of wickedness appeared on his thin, crimson lips, but this wickedness was only on the surface and did not penetrate into his eyes. Instead, it seemed like a threat because of his disobedience.
Qin Ge wasn't afraid at all. He slightly curved his eyes and replied in a lazy tone, "Wasn't it given by His Majesty?"
This answer unexpectedly pleased Jun Chenbi, who massaged Qin Ge's nape and kissed him.
Intimacy that goes unnoticed by others.
Although the two men were somewhat unconventional, their exceptional beauty and refined demeanor, combined with the gentle breeze and lush lotus leaves of the Lotus Pavilion, created a picturesque and enchanting scene...
…
Upon receiving the news that the top scholar had left the palace early this morning and returned to his residence, Jun Yuanyao was surprised and overjoyed to find that he was still alive. She immediately took a carriage and arrived outside the top scholar's residence.
Princess Fengxi wanted to find the newly appointed top scholar, Mu Xiange, as her ideal husband, which was almost common knowledge in the entire capital. She had been to the top scholar's mansion more than once or twice, and by forcefully using her status as a princess, how could an ordinary gatekeeper possibly stop her?
Jun Yuanyao lifted her skirt and hurried into the scholar's residence, until Lan Ye stopped her outside the study, saying, "Princess, please wait."
Lan Ye possessed a cold and aloof beauty, and since the other party was Mu Xiange's personal maid, Jun Yuanyao felt a natural hostility towards this beautiful maid. Her eyes turned slightly cold, and her tone carried a condescending command, "Get out of my way."
"Without your orders, young master, I cannot comply," Lan Ye said.
"How dare you!" Jun Yuanyao was about to explode in anger.
At this moment, the study door was opened from the inside, and Qin Ge changed into a blue robe. Half of his dark hair was draped over his shoulders, while the other half was tied up with a light blue ribbon. Every gesture he made exuded the elegant and dashing charm of a young man from afar.
However, if Jun Yuanyao looked closely, she would notice that the young man's blue robe and long hair were slightly disheveled, his lips had an abnormally bright color, and his eyes were slightly shimmering.
"Princess, please calm down," Qin Ge said casually, dismissing Lan Ye and then inviting the princess into his study.
Jun Yuanyao rushed to the Zhuangyuan Mansion immediately, for two reasons.
First, we need to see if Qin Ge is alright.
She thought Qin Ge would die at the hands of her cruel imperial brother.
Secondly, she wanted to find out from Qin Ge... how much Qin Ge knew about the things she had done in secret. For example, the drug she had given him at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.
The study was divided into two spaces by a screen. Princess Fengxi was preoccupied with her own thoughts and did not notice that there was another person in the study behind the screen.
Jun Yuanyao entered the study. From Qin Ge's attitude, she could hardly guess what he was thinking. However, if it were her, Jun Yuanyao felt that if someone had drugged her and almost put her in danger, she would definitely feel resentment.
However, the person in front of her not only treated her with courtesy, but also politely asked her if she wanted some tea.
Jun Yuanyao pursed her lips. "No need, I won't drink. Lord Mu, I came today... because of what happened at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet that night."
Qin Ge curled his lips into a cold smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Is Your Highness referring to the matter of my traditional Chinese medicine?"
"You actually knew that?" Jun Yuanyao paused slightly.
Her intention was to test the waters.
Now it seems unnecessary.
"I was momentarily confused and almost made a grave mistake. I hope Lord Mu will forgive me and set aside past grievances." Princess Fengxi was always a high and mighty person. Even when she apologized, she ended up speaking in a tone that made it seem like it was a matter of course.
Unfortunately, Qin Ge is not a saint, nor does he have such a good temper.
Although the outcome was good despite the unexpected twist of fate, he hated being schemed against.
Then, the young man said with a playful expression, "What if I say no?"
Jun Yuanyao narrowed her eyes, her expression turning cold, revealing the ruthlessness of the Jun royal family. "Mu Xiange, I am a princess, and you are a subject. Remember your place. Besides, what if your brother finds out about this..."
"What is it that I cannot know?" A tall, slender figure emerged from behind the screen, dressed in a silver-purple robe, with phoenix eyes and dark eyebrows, possessing a beautiful and incomparably noble appearance.
Jun Yuanyao nearly collapsed to the ground as she watched the person suddenly emerge from behind the screen in the study: "Your Majesty...!"
