Chapter 466: Candles Lit
Si Linglong couldn't tell what her mood was. She seemed nervous and scared. Even after her whole body was soaked in the hot water dripping from the flower petals, she still couldn't let go of her nervous mood.
She couldn't hear what Shu Hong said in her ear. She just soaked in the water and let the two of them wash her from head to toe until she looked like a little pig.
Yes.
The kind that is powdery and fragrant.
The fair and moist skin seemed to be tinged with a layer of pink after being soaked in the pool water, so delicate and soft that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
The long hair that was casually tied up fell down in strands, and after being wetted by the water, it stuck to the beautiful neck. The seeping water droplets slid down the neck to the delicate collarbone, inadvertently revealing an irresistible attraction.
Qinglu blushed slightly, turned her head away, and brought another set of pajamas for her to put on.
The red nightgown that trails on the ground looks like cloud-like gauze shrouded in mist. It is only a thin layer, as light and transparent as mist. It is more like a gauze than a nightgown.
When Si Linglong saw the clothes, she felt unwell instantly.
"No, no, no, not wearing this."
[This is too embarrassing! Who prepared this thing? ]
"Noble Concubine, this was specially prepared by the Emperor." Shu Hong spoke softly. Not only the clothes, but also the bathtub and the flower petals were all prepared by Eunuch Futai while the two of them were having a meal.
What Eunuch Futai meant was naturally the Emperor's intention.
When Si Linglong heard that it was actually A Yue who had someone prepare this, she was not only moved, but also subconsciously thought of a word.
【Stuffy.】
[I didn’t expect that A Yue actually liked this one! ]
No matter how embarrassed she was, Si Linglong was finally forced to put on her clothes by Shuhong and Qinglu. Then she saw a side door next to the side hall being opened at some point, and layers of gauze curtains were drawn open, revealing warm light from the other side.
Based on the location of the side door, Si Linglong vaguely guessed something.
Following the guidance of Shuhong and Qinglu, she walked barefoot on the floor covered with thick velvet carpet and walked step by step to the side door. As expected, this door directly connected her bedroom and bathing pool. Stepping through the door, she was in the inner part of the bedroom, which was very convenient.
Si Linglong reached out, opened the curtains, and stepped into the house. The moment she saw the layout of the bedroom clearly, she suddenly froze in place.
In just one hour, the bedroom, which had been functioning normally, seemed to have been renovated.
I saw that a beaded curtain made of red beads had been hung in the room at some point, and it looked gentle and affectionate in the warm candlelight that filled the room. The carpet under my feet was covered with layers of flower petals, and it extended along the curtain all the way to the bed.
The gauze curtains on the bed were replaced with red gauze embroidered with auspicious patterns in gold thread, which matched the red bed and looked festive and ostentatious.
Looking at the lotus seeds and peanuts scattered on the couch, Si Linglong felt as if she was getting married.
"Except for the Empress, no one else in the palace can be used as a red. Although I cannot grant you a grand wedding, at least tonight, you and I can be the wedding candles, okay?"
Helian Yue's voice came from the side, and unlike his usual cold tone, it now carried a hint of tenderness.
Si Linglong turned her head suddenly, and saw a handsome man standing tall in the warm candlelight, and a red jade cup placed on the round table beside him. Her almond-shaped eyes trembled slightly, and she stood there in silence. She didn't know what to say for a moment, but an inexplicable feeling of sadness and emotion welled up in her chest.
After a long while, she finally found her voice and said hoarsely, "Ayue...you..."
She didn't know where to start. She had never thought about getting married.
After all, from the moment she woke up, she was already his concubine.
She also got used to being his concubine.
Perhaps it is because I have never thought about it, that I find it so shocking and precious to see all this he has carefully arranged for me.
Obviously, she would be willing even if he did nothing.
Helian Yue looked at the mist in her eyes, walked forward, stretched out his hand, gently took her hand, and said,
"I know you don't care, I just don't want you to feel wronged."
For the first time, he did not call himself the emperor, but "I".
Put yourself and her on an equal footing, use the red candles filling the room, and throw away the so-called rules of the palace.
Just for her.
