Chapter 401 The Princess from the Cold Palace Who Was Sent to the Throne (12)
Wen Xingzhi arrived very early, so when he stepped into the room, the little princess on the couch had not yet fully stood up. She was still wearing a bright yellow inner dress, like a delicate flower in the morning light.
The gilded animal-head door knocker exudes a hint of chill, but this cannot resist the steaming heat in the room.
The morning light shines through the silk curtains and gently falls on the couch, dyeing the human figure into a hazy amber color, as if the whole room is shrouded in a layer of warm light.
Wen Xingzhi's gaze involuntarily fell on the girl. Her slender waist was tightly wrapped in bright yellow satin, like a peeled loquat, with the juicy flesh faintly visible, which was very tempting.
The girl's silhouette looked over from afar, a hint of panic in her clear eyes.
This week's recuperation has made her complexion gradually turn from pale to rosy, and her originally frail appearance has become more lively, gradually revealing her stunning beauty.
However, what really caught Wen Xingzhi's attention were the faint outlines of the bright yellow inner garment.
There were still lingering tears on the girl's eyelashes, but her half-open clothes revealed her spring scenery just right.
——Subtle and seductive.
It seduces people into falling silently.
Wen Xingzhi's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Beauty trap.
The word appeared in his mind at an inopportune time.
What a clever idea.
This little princess is really capable.
Maybe he is even more powerful than He Liming.
She actually used the honey trap...
Wen Xingzhi suddenly felt as if he was trapped in this small world and unable to escape.
His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and his eyes, which had always been clear, now showed a slight ripple.
He quietly looked at the girl in front of him, only to see her frantically wrapping herself in the scattered quilt.
She looked flustered, like a frightened egret, but her swan-like neck was still exposed to his sight without reservation.
Qingwu seemed to have just noticed who was coming and realized her current appearance, and immediately lowered the curtain.
Such a pretentious attitude makes it seem even more obvious, as if deliberately trying to hide the awkwardness and shyness that cannot be concealed.
He had actually seen everything he should have seen, so his actions now were merely futile.
but......
Wen Xingzhi did not take another step forward, but took a half step back. His boot heel hit the door sill heavily, making a dull "bang" sound.
His gaze was still deeply fixed on the girl. Seeing her tightly wrapped in the quilt, and the undulating curves faintly visible under the quilt, made him clench his palms involuntarily.
After a long time, Wen Xingzhi noticed that Qingwu was in an unstable mood.
However, his own heart seemed even more unstable.
Wen Xingzhi took a deep breath, and after some adjustments, he finally regained his usual calmness and composure.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he spoke with a smile as usual, but his voice was slightly trembling.
Wen Xingzhi's gaze was as sharp as a torch, fixed on the beauty behind the curtain, unwilling to shift its focus even slightly.
It seemed that only in this way could he calm down the turmoil in his heart.
"Your Majesty, as the new ruler of the dynasty, should govern the country diligently and work hard to govern it."
"It's already morning court time. Although Your Majesty has never attended before, you must still wake up early to..."
Before Wen Xingzhi finished speaking, the girl's delicate body and her face, which must have not had enough rest for many years, suddenly appeared in his mind.
The stern reprimand that I had originally planned disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Wen Xingzhi's tone suddenly changed and became gentle: "But... after all, Your Majesty is still young, everything can be done slowly."
"In the future, I will take on the responsibility of teaching Your Majesty. Please rest assured."
Wen Xingzhi's voice became softer and softer, as if he was afraid of scaring the person in front of him.
But when he finished speaking, he found that Wu was still silent, without even a hint of response.
She seemed to be extremely frightened, which made Wen Xingzhi feel a surge of pity in his heart.
So, Wen Xingzhi unconsciously softened his voice again and lightly passed over the incident as if nothing had happened.
"Since Your Majesty has not yet washed, I will call the maid in to help Your Majesty wash."
Fortunately, he had just led away all the maids. He had only wanted to lead them away because those maids were He Liming's people.
Now it seems...
Wen Xingzhi's brows darkened, fearing that He Liming had already known that the new emperor was not the little prince, but the little princess.
A hint of murderous intent flashed across Wen Xingzhi's eyes.
What is his purpose?
Changing the princess into a prince, do you want the throne?
still......
Wen Xingzhi remembered the pitiful and graceful look of the beauty just now, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
He didn't dare to think about it any further, fearing that he would get caught up in some kind of thoughts that he couldn't extricate himself from.
At this moment, Wen Xingzhi's heartbeat was a little irregular, and his thoughts were not as clear as usual.
In short, Qingwu must wash up first.
We can't let her stay in such a disheveled state. It's really inappropriate.
From behind the curtain came the little princess's slightly shy and nervous response: "Thank you, Prime Minister."
The voice was crisp and melodious, floating gently into Wen Xingzhi's ears.
Wen Xingzhi's brows twitched slightly, and some inappropriate thoughts involuntarily surged into his mind, making it difficult for him to control himself.
He gently rolled his Adam's apple, as if he had thousands of words he wanted to say, but he swallowed them back.
After taking a deep breath, his eyes swept across the heavy curtains for the last time. Finally, he slowly turned around. When the corner of his robe swept across the threshold, it brought up a gust of flustered wind, as if announcing that his heart was as restless as the wind.
"I am waiting for Your Majesty outside the palace."
Prime Minister Wen, who regarded the imperial palace as a deserted place, took the initiative to leave for the first time.
Seeing Wen Xingzhi's desperate escape, Qingwu behind the curtain was not as panicked as Wen Xingzhi imagined, nor was she feeling guilty about her secret being discovered.
But——
When the sound of Wen Xingzhi's footsteps completely disappeared at the end of the corridor, Qingwu behind the curtain slowly straightened her waist with elegant and calm movements.
The bronze mirror reflected the faint light in her eyes. Her fingertips stroked the dragon-patterned jade seal on the desk, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of her lips.
At this moment, Qingwu no longer looked timid as before.
