The water around them suddenly rippled violently, turning from gentle ripples into waves, with splashes of water churning around them.
The candlelight was extinguished by a gust of wind, plunging the surroundings into darkness, making one's senses even more acute. The moon slowly rose, seemingly feeling a little shy, hiding behind the treetops, then sneaking over them, and then hiding behind the clouds, revealing only a small, crescent-shaped portion.
The decadent atmosphere and the constant panting and pleading drowned out the surrounding cicada chirping. By the latter half of the night, even the cicada chirping had stopped, but the soft, delicate voice continued.
When Yun Qingluo regained consciousness, she felt a bright light.
She moved her body slightly, feeling extremely weak all over. The deep, alluring panting sound seemed to still linger in her ears, refusing to dissipate.
"You bastard!" Yun Qingluo endured the aching pain and finally couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"Mommy, where are the dogs?" A childish, curious voice rang out, and Yun Qingluo froze slightly.
She opened her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable with the bright light. She blinked again before she could see clearly that a small, round figure dressed in dark brocade was sitting beside her.
The little dumpling was holding a book and was looking at me curiously.
Yun Qingluo was slightly taken aback. Zeyan's eyes sparkled as he happily exclaimed, "Mother, you're finally awake!"
Yun Qingluo swallowed back the rest of her traditional Chinese cultural remarks, a gentle smile appearing on her face. "What's Zeyan doing here? Where are Father and Sister?"
Zeyan glanced down at the book in his hand and answered Yun Qingluo's question seriously, "This morning, my sister wanted to see Mother, but Father said Mother was too tired and wanted to sleep a little longer, so Aunt Yuntao took my sister to play in the Imperial Garden. Father came to see Mother after court, but seeing that Mother had not yet woken up, he went to the Imperial Study to review memorials and asked me to stay here with Mother. He also said that if Mother wakes up, Aunt Yunxin should prepare some food for Mother."
Yun Qingluo looked at her son with surprise as he spoke so many words clearly, and asked with some doubt, "Does Zeyan know Chairman Mao?"
Is this child really not from another time?
Zeyan looked at his mother with some confusion, shook his head and said he didn't know, then asked her, "Mother, who is Chairman Mao? Is he a relative of our family? I've never heard you mention him before?"
Xiao Yi laughed out loud, "What kind of relatives are we talking about? Oh, no, we're relatives, they're Mao Zedong's portraits on the RMB, so close, so close."
Yun Qinglu frowned, speechless, and said, "Xiao Yi, you're so good at talking!"
Xiao Yi snorted coldly, "Tch, you were quite the talker last night too."
Yun Qingluo's face suddenly turned red, and she was furious with embarrassment. "You brat, didn't I teach you a long time ago not to look at or listen to anything improper?"
Xiao Yi said nonchalantly, "Yeah, I didn't mean to. I woke up last night and wanted to find you, but I didn't expect to hear you begging for mercy. You were crying so pitifully, so I quickly blocked the signal and couldn't bear to listen anymore. Tsk tsk."
Yun Qingluo was speechless. "So, I should thank you after all."
If Xiao Yi had a tail, it would probably be wagging its tail. After all, seeing Yun Qingluo weakly begging for mercy is not an easy thing, hahaha.
Yun Qingluo sensed Xiao Yi's excitement and asked in confusion, "Why do I feel like your emotions are getting richer and richer, Xiao Yi? Are you out of your mind?"
Machines don't have that many emotions. Even 21st-century artificial intelligence doesn't have as many emotions as Xiao Yi. It's a bit suspicious.
Xiao Yi didn't react much, but said arrogantly, "I've already said I'm not an ordinary system. Besides, you've already activated the Merit Mall, so what's impossible?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, Yun Qingluo remembered the Merit Mall. "By the way, speaking of the Merit Mall, why does it seem like there's been no activity from it lately? Could it be broken?"
If Xiao Yi had eyes, she probably would have rolled her eyes long ago. "Forget it, you've been busy saving yourself all this time, do you have time to save others?"
Yun Qingluo didn't care about that; if it wasn't there, it wasn't there.
"Mother, Mother, are you daydreaming? What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Yun Qingluo was in a daze and not talking to him, Zeyan put down his book and shook Yun Qingluo's arm.
Yun Qingluo snapped out of her reverie, looked at Zeyan, and said with a smile, "I was thinking about what we should have for lunch. Should we eat Mother's cooking?"
Upon hearing this, Zeyan's attention was immediately diverted. "Yes, Mother's cooking is the best."
Yun Qingluo tried to move, but felt the soreness again. Damn it, she looked away and silently took a breath. Her whole body really hurt.
But we should still face life with a smile.
Yun Qingluo turned around, exerted a little effort, and sat up, feeling quite refreshed.
The dog of a man is at least considerate; he knows to wash himself clean and change into comfortable pajamas.
Yun Qingluo picked up Zeyan and moved his face. His little face was soon red from Yun Qingluo's rubbing, but the little boy became happier and happier.
His mother held him, and his mother's arms felt so comfortable.
Yun Qingluo smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll continue to eat Mother's cooking for lunch today. Mother will get up and wash up first, okay?"
Zeyan obediently said "okay", then muttered to himself, "It's strange, why does Father look so energetic after waking up, but Mother looks so tired? Did Mother not sleep all night?"
Yun Qingluo paused, then somewhat guiltily called in Yun Xin, asking her to take Ze Yan out first while she changed her clothes.
Yunxin asked, "Your Majesty, shall we serve breakfast?"
Yun Qinglu shook her head. "No need. I'll go to the kitchen later and eat whatever I feel like. I'll have lunch with Achen."
Zeyan interjected, "And there's me and my sister too."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo turned around and smiled, "Yes, and Zeyan and Qianyue too, how about the four of us have dinner together?"
Zeyan then nodded maturely and said "okay".
Yunxin smiled and helped Zeyan put on his shoes. "Then I'll go to the small kitchen first and have the others prepare the ingredients before I leave, so that Your Highness can use them."
Yun Qingluo nodded, and then Yun Tao walked in. "Your Highness, you're awake. Her Highness the Princess was tired from playing and just fell asleep. I've come back just in time. Would Your Highness like to have a meal?"
As Yunxin helped Zeyan put on his shoes, she said with a smile, "Her Majesty said she'll just grab a quick bite in the kitchen and have a proper meal at noon."
Zeyan pursed his lips and earnestly reminded her, "Mother said she's going to cook lunch, and I need to help her cook."
