Li Qiji walked over and sat down, and saw Guan Zhiyue's little mouth chattering away nonstop.
"Aren't you thirsty?" Li Qiji suddenly asked, which made Guan Zhiyue a little embarrassed. She didn't seem to be the talkative type before, so how come she was the talkative type now?
"So, what do you do for a living?"
Li Qiji heard Guan Zhiyue's voice, turned to look at her, and said, "Want to know?"
Guan Zhiyue turned to look at Li Qiji sitting next to her and said, "Hmm! I want to know."
"Then tell me, what do you do?"
Guan Zhiyue couldn't help but retort after hearing Li Qiji's words, "Uh! It's like I asked you first, isn't it? You should have told me first, and then I would have told you."
Li Qiji raised an eyebrow at Guan Zhiyue, but didn't say anything, just stared intently at her.
Guan Zhiyue felt uneasy under their gaze and didn't want to stay there any longer; she felt very dangerous.
She glanced at the man sitting there with a hint of resentment. Although she really loved the hot spring water, she thought that it was the middle of the night and that saving her life was the most important thing.
She found it very strange that a man could appear in the palace. She didn't know much about the palace, but she remembered that Li Qishang was in the harem and Shan Liuxian was also in the palace. But who was this man? This was really going to be the death of her.
Watching Guan Zhiyue putting on her shoes, I couldn't help but find it funny, but out of pride, I could only shrug my shoulders slightly. Guan Zhiyue was so cute when she was putting on her shoes; she just couldn't get them on and kept swaying left and right.
"What? Are you leaving?"
Guan Zhiyue, who was struggling with her socks, suddenly heard such a sentence, which made her turn her head to look over, somewhat confused. She saw that the man was staring at her feet, which startled Guan Zhiyue. She quickly put her two fair and chubby feet into the water. She knew from Guan Zhiyue's memory that men should not look at women's feet.
Such intimate places can only be seen by her husband, especially now that she holds the title of Empress. If this gets out, it's a small matter if she is punished, but it will also implicate her family, which is a crime that would bring down nine generations of her family! She wouldn't dare to joke around or act recklessly.
"Pah! What are you looking at? Turn around!"
Li Qiji saw Guan Zhiyue's chubby little feet, then looked at Guan Zhiyue sitting with her back to him. He thought about it and realized that the girl seemed to be much thinner than when he first saw her. It seemed that she had really lost weight in the cold palace.
"It must be hard for you to put on socks with your body like that?" Li Qiji didn't know why he asked such a question, and he found it hard to believe.
However, Guan Zhiyue heard these words as if they were mocking her. She couldn't hold back any longer, so she jumped up from the ground and walked towards Li Qiji step by step.
The momentum was earth-shaking, yet the way they walked was incredibly steady, making it seem as if they were dragging a massive boulder weighing a thousand pounds. The noise was deafening.
Guan Zhiyue walked up to Li Qiji and looked up at him. Guan Zhiyue didn't know until she stood in front of him that he was more than 18 years old. He must be at least 1.9 meters tall.
Guan Zhiyue was hovering around Li Qiji's chest and shoulders, wanting to teach him a lesson, but she found that she was not as tall as him. Guan Zhiyue's arrogance immediately diminished in front of Li Qiji.
"What, do you want to fight me?" Li Qiji, taking advantage of his height, looked down at Guan Zhiyue, who was perched on his chest.
"Hmph! I'm only letting you off the hook because you're too skinny. But if you ever run into me again, I won't be so polite!"
Looking at Guan Zhiyue in front of him, Li Qiji found her rather adorable and couldn't help but take a step closer to her, looking down at her and saying, "I want to know what kind of impolite method you want?"
Guan Zhiyue looked at the face that was getting bigger and bigger in front of her, and her waist that was leaning back more and more. She couldn't take it anymore, but unfortunately, this guy was still getting closer to her.
Guan Zhiyue swallowed hard and said, "I'll definitely scratch your face until it's covered in cat saliva."
As she spoke, she reached out and pushed the man, closing her eyes as if she didn't want to look at anything improper. But if she hadn't closed her eyes, she wouldn't have been able to tell which way was which, and Guan Zhiyue's hands ended up squeezing Li Qiji's well-developed pectoral muscles.
The full and firm feel made Guan Zhiyue unable to resist squeezing it a couple of times; she felt that this man had an excellent physique.
After a while, she wasn't pushed over as she had imagined. Fortunately, Guan Zhiyue had already stood up straight, so she no longer had to lean back. She was terrified that if she fell, she wouldn't be able to get up for an hour or two. So she was very afraid of falling.
"Aren't you going to let go?" Li Qiji's cold voice rang out above Guan Zhiyue's head. Guan Zhiyue cautiously looked up and saw that her two hands were touching his chest muscles.
Startled, she quickly took a few steps back and accidentally fell into the pool behind her.
Li Qiji looked at the woman falling backward, and for some unknown reason, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her. The force of the impact caused both of them to fall into the pool.
Upon hearing the noise, Hua Quan, who was guarding inside the house, rushed out and saw the two people who had fallen into the water. He looked anxiously at Li Qiji and was about to go find Ji Wu.
Li Qiji stopped him with a gesture, so Hua Quan couldn't say anything more. He also thought that his emperor never got close to women, so it was quite good that he had met a woman he didn't dislike.
Guan Zhiyue raised her head from the water, looking at Li Qiji with a hint of complaint. The man was looking at Guan Zhiyue's clothes, which were wet from the hot spring water, and they were somewhat visible.
Guan Zhiyue was speechless. She rolled her eyes at Li Qiji beside her, then dragged her dress and climbed towards the shore.
Li Qiji was truly speechless. She was the one who dragged him into this mess, and now she had the nerve to glare at him. He was also a victim, wasn't he?
"What kind of look is that?!"
Guan Zhiyue ignored him and walked to the shore on her own.
Li Qiji followed her, and seeing her already soaked clothes, he felt a pang of pity and said, "There are clothes inside, go and change!"
Guan Zhiyue stood by the pool, glanced at Li Qiji, and then looked up at the house she was talking about. She hadn't noticed earlier that it was a house because she was too hot.
"No need, I'll go back myself!"
Seeing that Guan Zhiyue was about to leave, Hua Quan quickly said, "This old servant greets Your Majesty the Empress."
Guan Zhiyue saw Hua Quan rush out and realized who he was. She gave a soft snort, turned around and left without looking back, leaving Li Qiji with a drenched back view.
