Chapter 70 The entanglement of reason and desire
Feng Shenyu smiled and bowed sincerely to the emperor:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."
After the three of them finished chatting, Feng Shenyu and Li Yueyao came out of the palace together.
Feng Shenyu got on the carriage and couldn't wait to get close to Li Yueyao.
Li Yueyao shrank to the side and pushed Fengshenyu away.
Feng Shenyu was unhappy when he saw this, and said aggrievedly:
"Your Highness, have you forgotten the old one because you have found a new one?"
Li Yueyao's eyes widened after hearing this:
"What are you talking about? What newcomers and old ones?"
Feng Shenyu curled his lips and said, "I heard that Your Highness and Shaoqing Huan spent most of the afternoon in the west wing of Taiji Palace yesterday."
Li Yueyao glared at him and said, "I...we were discussing the details of the Chunhui Garden corpse hiding case, it's not what you think.
Besides, His Majesty was in the West Wing Hall for a while yesterday, so don't talk nonsense."
As he spoke, he pulled out the sleeve that Feng Shenyu was holding in his hand.
After listening to Li Yueyao's explanation, Feng Shenyu moved closer to her.
Seeing this, Li Yueyao stretched out her foot and kicked him: "Don't come over, stay away from me."
After hearing this, Feng Shenyu felt unhappy from the inside out.
"Your Highness was obviously very happy to see me before, and even touched me, but after just two days, you've already rejected me like a thousand miles away.
Could it be that Your Highness has truly changed his mind and is going to abandon me?"
Seeing Feng Shenyu's resentful look, Li Yueyao suddenly laughed out loud.
"You are such a jealous person."
"Then I will only drink your vinegar, Your Highness."
When Li Yueyao heard him say this, she pulled his hand over and said:
"It's broad daylight, and we're in a carriage, so you'd better behave yourself."
Feng Shenyu saw Li Yueyao's pair of small hands, white, delicate, and soft, wrapping his big hands in them.
The unhappiness I felt at being rejected just now disappeared in an instant.
"Your Highness, why didn't you bring a hand warmer when you went out? Your hands are so cold. Let me warm them for you."
As he said that, he stretched out his other hand, held both of Li Yueyao's hands, and rubbed them in his hands.
Li Yueyao is usually timid outside during the day, but very fierce at home at night.
It was broad daylight now, and the wind outside the carriage gently blew up the curtains. The two of them were pulling and tugging at each other in the carriage, looking ambiguous and inappropriate.
So the whole person became more and more unnatural.
Just when Li Yueyao was about to be unable to bear it, the carriage stopped.
Qian Lou's voice came from outside: "His Highness has arrived."
Li Yueyao got out of the carriage in a panic, as if she had been rescued.
Feng Shenyu became unhappy when he saw this. He didn't understand why Li Yueyao was so avoiding him.
It's clear that the previous few times they met, things progressed quickly, so why are they avoiding each other this time?
Feng Shenyu thought about this problem for an entire afternoon but couldn't figure it out.
So, I decided to go again at night to ask.
That night, after taking a bath, Feng Shenyu picked out a red robe and put it on, tied a narrow belt of the same color, and tied an ink-colored jade pendant around his waist.
After dressing up carefully, she looked in the mirror again, put the jade hairpin she had made these days in her arms, and went out.
Li Yueyao had just gone to bed when she heard someone knocking on the window.
"Your Highness, it's me, I'm coming in."
Li Yueyao had just heard Feng Shenyu's voice when the window was pushed open and Feng Shenyu turned over and came in.
Seeing this, Li Yueyao sat up, her long hair spread out behind her, and reached out to pull her clothes together.
Feng Shenyu had already come to the bed and sat down.
"Are you addicted to stealing at night? You even climbed in through the window?"
Fengshenyu grinned in the darkness.
"I am not a thief, Your Highness is."
"How come I'm a thief?" Li Yueyao asked in confusion.
"Because you stole my heart."
Li Yueyao was shocked by Feng Shenyu's greasy and earthy love words.
He said unhappily, "I just saw you this morning, and now you're here again. Tell me, what's going on?"
Feng Shenyu took out the hairpin from his arms and handed it to Li Yueyao.
Li Yueyao took it and it felt cold to the touch. She took a look at it in the dim light and found that it was a jade hairpin engraved with a peony.
"You carved it?"
"Yeah. I carved it myself. How is it? Do you like it?"
Li Yueyao nodded: "Well, good jade is easy to get, but your kindness is hard to come by."
Feng Shenyu laughed when he heard this.
"You wouldn't come here in the middle of the night just to give me a jade hairpin, would you?" Li Yueyao asked.
"I guess so. It's mainly because I feel uneasy and want to come and have a look."
Li Yueyao played with the jade hairpin in her hand and asked casually:
"What makes you feel uneasy?"
Feng Shenyu looked at Li Yueyao in the dark night. Although he had seen her last time, he still felt that she had charm this time.
He unconsciously reached out and gathered the hair scattered on Li Yueyao's cheek behind her ears.
"I feel that Your Highness's attitude towards me during the day is different from before, so I came to check on him out of concern."
After hearing this, Li Yueyao looked up at Fengshenyu, and a pleasant smell came from the hand placed next to her cheek.
The hazy moonlight shines in from the window, outlining the handsome silhouette of his delicate eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth.
Li Yueyao unconsciously reached out and touched his face.
"It's different during the day and at night." Li Yueyao murmured.
"What's the difference?"
"Reason prevails during the day, but desires of the heart prevail at night."
Feng Shenyu laughed when he heard this: "Does your Highness's desire prevail now?"
"Yes."
"But I feel that Your Highness is very sober."
Feng Shenyu moved his face closer to Li Yueyao, and the breath of his words burst out, hitting Li Yueyao's face directly.
The two of them stared at each other in the darkness, only a palm's distance apart.
Feng Shenyu waited for a long time, but Li Yueyao didn't come over. Suddenly, he felt that he had miscalculated. He should have taken off his clothes first...
Feng Shenyu had just finished thinking when he saw Li Yueyao reach out and hook Feng Shenyu's collar and pull him in front of her.
In the darkness, their noses touched, their breaths entangled with each other.
They both swallowed.
Li Yueyao couldn't hold back any longer and pressed her lips against his.
The two of them kissed each other lightly at first, but as Feng Shenyu's body gradually pressed down on her, Li Yueyao couldn't support herself and fell backwards.
The two fell on the bed together and began to kiss deeply.
This time Feng Shenyu was wearing her clothes properly, while Li Yueyao was originally wearing pajamas, which had now opened up, revealing a large area of skin above her chest.
Fengshenyu buried his head in it, leaving some red marks.
Then Feng Shenyu climbed onto the bed and whispered in Li Yueyao's ear:
"Your Highness, may I stay and serve you today?"
Li Yueyao was in a state of confusion and love, but when she heard this, she suddenly came to her senses.
No, if he stays overnight and doesn't get married later, wouldn't it be very difficult to resolve the situation?
I haven't thought about it yet. I can't ruin the rest of my life just because of greed for beauty.
Thinking of this, Li Yueyao instantly regained her senses.
He struggled and said, "No... No... I haven't thought about it yet."
After hearing this, Feng Shenyu angrily bit Li Yueyao's neck.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"
Li Yueyao felt pain, then came back to her senses and pushed Fengshenyu away.
"You are not from the Xiaoguanguan, you are the Right Prime Minister. I can't be irresponsible after eating you."
As he spoke, he sat up.
Feng Shenyu was pushed away and lay on the couch beside him on his side, supporting his head with his hands, observing Li Yueyao.
After a moment, a ghostly voice said:
"Your Highness is still thinking about being irresponsible?
Is it possible that with my status, appearance, and figure, I am not worthy of Your Highness?"
