Lin Muheng handled government affairs today as if divinely inspired, his efficiency was astonishing.
He was intently reviewing memorials, his pen constantly annotating with various opinions and decisions.
He specially arranged for Ye Feng to wait outside the door and solemnly instructed him: "Once it gets dark, come and report to me immediately."
Although Ye Feng found the instructions somewhat puzzling, he knew that imperial orders could not be disobeyed, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Seeing Ye Feng constantly gazing intently at the sky, Ye Yu felt a surge of curiosity. He finally couldn't contain himself and asked, "What are you doing here? And why are you staring so intently at the sky?"
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly put his index finger to his lips to signal Ye Yu to be quiet, and at the same time made a "shh" gesture, lowering his voice to say, "Don't ask any more questions. This is the Emperor's decree. We just need to obey."
Nevertheless, Ye Feng was actually quite confused, not understanding why he needed to constantly pay attention to the changing colors of the sky.
However, it was easy to see from Lin Muheng's anxious expression that he seemed eagerly anticipating the arrival of night.
At this moment, Lin Muheng was extremely anxious, and the Empress's beautiful face and the promise she had made kept flashing through his mind.
After some deliberation, he resolutely put down the memorial he had not yet finished reading.
After all, these memorials could be processed every day, but the Empress's approval did not happen every day.
Moreover, if he were to spend all his time by the Empress's side, he would probably exhaust her.
She was pregnant, and Lin Muheng didn't want her to suffer.
However, tonight, even if he's a little tired, he'll know his limits.
Thinking of this, Lin Muheng suddenly stood up and shouted, "Prepare the carriage for Fengning Palace!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu subconsciously looked up at the sky, muttering to herself, "It's still early, why is the Emperor in such a hurry to go to the inner palace?"
Just as Ye Yu was filled with doubt, a group of eunuchs quickly surrounded her and escorted Lin Muheng towards Fengning Palace.
Ye Yu stood there watching them go, her curiosity growing stronger, and she really wanted to follow them to find out what was going on.
Unfortunately, the thought that he might be castrated and forced to become a eunuch if he went with them made him immediately dismiss the idea.
Jiang Chuwei saw Lin Muheng arrive so early from afar, and her heart tightened.
Thinking of the things she had promised, a blush instantly crept onto her cheeks, as tempting as a ripe apple.
At this moment, Lin Muheng was also staring intently at Jiang Chuwei. As their eyes met, an indescribable unspoken understanding filled the air.
Looking at Jiang Chuwei's shy and charming appearance, Lin Muheng felt the flames burning in his heart intensify.
Jiang Chuwei's cheeks were flushed like the sunset, and her beautiful eyes were full of charm. Her captivating appearance made Lin Muheng want to hold her tightly in his arms.
However, Jiang Chuwei was an extremely intelligent and perceptive person. With just a glance at Lin Muheng's expression, she was already able to see through what he was thinking.
So she quickly parted her lips and said, "Your Majesty! Let's have our meal first!"
As she spoke, she dared not meet Lin Muheng's gaze again, for fear of being melted by his burning, fiery gaze.
Hearing Jiang Chuwei's words, Lin Muheng finally came to his senses, but his deep eyes remained fixed on Jiang Chuwei, as if he wanted to see through her clothes and understand her whole being.
Jiang Chuwei felt uncomfortable under his gaze and hurriedly urged again, "Your Majesty..."
Seeing this, Donghua immediately responded and quickly brought the prepared dishes to the table.
When the Emperor and Empress dine together, the Emperor has always disliked having servants attending to them.
Seeing this, Jiang Chuwei gently pulled Lin Muheng's hand, gesturing for him to sit down as well.
Lin Muheng complied and sat down slowly next to Jiang Chuwei as instructed.
Immediately afterwards, several palace maids filed in, each carrying a basin of warm water, and respectfully approached the two men, asking them to wash their hands.
Despite his status, Lin Muheng personally picked up a silk handkerchief, dampened it, and gently wiped Jiang Chuwei's hands.
Throughout the entire process, the palace maids kept their heads down, looking down at their noses and their hearts, as if they had never seen the scene before them.
They were simply used to it, after all, the Emperor's favor towards the Empress was common knowledge, and the extent of his affection for her was beyond everyone's imagination.
Jiang Chuwei watched with a smile as Lin Muheng enthusiastically did these trivial things, without interrupting his enjoyment.
Because she had long noticed an interesting phenomenon—Lin Muheng seemed to have a particularly strong interest in doing these trivial things for her.
This was even more evident when they sat down to eat together.
Lin Muheng would occasionally pick up his chopsticks and carefully place various delicious dishes on Jiang Chuwei's plate, gently placing them in the bowl in front of her.
The whole process was natural and seamless, as if it were a tacit understanding that they had always known for each other.
Although the two followed the rule of "not speaking while eating or sleeping," the atmosphere in the room was unusually ambiguous.
That faint, elusive feeling, like wisps of smoke that are neither visible nor intangible, quietly permeates the air, stirring ripples in one's heart.
The palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside the door were all silent and trembling, not daring to utter a sound, for fear that the slightest noise would disturb the loving couple inside.
