Yun Chan withdrew her gaze from the group of gossipy women and gripped Yuan Yao's hand tightly: "There are a few flies buzzing around my ear, it's too noisy."
fly?
Yuan Yao was stunned.
Where did these flies come from in this freezing weather?
She followed Yun Chan's gaze and looked in that direction.
She understood immediately upon seeing it.
Yun Chan possesses profound internal strength, and if he doesn't restrain his internal energy, his hearing will be exceptionally good.
I suppose he heard something unpleasant?
However, it doesn't matter at all.
Yuan Yao leaned into Yun Chan's arms: "Yun Chan, your hands are a little cold."
Yun Chan smiled gently, pulled her into his warm, protective cloak.
Yuan Yao raised her small hand and placed it against his burning waist and abdomen, exclaiming with satisfaction, "So warm!"
After saying that, he took the opportunity to touch her.
It feels so good to have a husband!
Yun Chan's Adam's apple bobbed, and she lowered her head and said, "Yao'er, if you continue to act so recklessly, I will carry you back to Qingxin Palace."
Back to Qingxin Palace?
Going back will involve this or that?
It's broad daylight!
Yuan Yao immediately backed down.
Her face flushed, she said, "Yun Chan, if you dare to be as unrestrained as you were last night, you're not allowed to touch me this month or next month!"
Yun Chan chuckled softly and said in a low voice, "Last night, I don't know who it was, but they took advantage of the alcohol and kept pestering me for one more time."
What, you're going to renege on your debt after taking advantage of me?
Yuan Yao: "???"
Does she have it?
Maybe so!
But how could she possibly admit to something like that?
Yuan Yao forced a smile and said, "I didn't! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
Yun Chan smiled and said, "Well, if Yao'er says no, then no. I must have misremembered."
It might not have been last night, but the night before last…
Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered.
Yuan Yao's face was burning hot. Her warm, small hands tightly covered Yun Chan's face. She looked around in surprise and threatened, "Yun Chan, if you continue to act like a hooligan in broad daylight, I'll pack my bags and run away tonight, you believe me?"
Yun Chan pulled her hand away and said innocently, "Yao'er, my father-in-law has taught us since we were young that we should be brave enough to take responsibility for our actions."
You did it and then deny it, fine, but you took my innocence, used me and then abandoned me?
Yuan Yao: "..."
My scalp is tingling.
She shivered, forcing herself to remain calm: "Your Majesty, please pay a little attention to your image and maintain a good public persona."
If your words get out, I will be seen as a scourge to the monarch.
At that time, the court officials will have the perfect opportunity to depose the empress and then force a whole host of women upon you.
It was clearly a joke, but Yun Chan frowned as she listened.
He held her soft little hand tightly, his voice low and deep: "Yuan Yao, you are not a source of trouble, you are my wife."
Of all the women in this world, I want no one but you.
Yuan Yao's eyes flickered when she saw Yun Chan's sudden seriousness.
Just now, Yun Chan must have heard what those ladies were saying, right?
What could those people say?
It's nothing more than wanting to stuff women into the palace...
Yuan Yao snapped her fingers together, grasped Yun Chan's hand, and coaxed her gently, "Okay, don't be angry, you're mine alone!"
Let me tell you, I'm very petty!
Anyone who dares to covet my people and possessions will not be let off!
So, Yun Chan, you'd better be mentally prepared.
In the future, I will surely be known as the most jealous woman in the Chu Kingdom, and the most jealous empress in the world!
You can't complain about me then!
Upon hearing this, Yun Chan's expression softened considerably.
He smiled and said, "No, I will make you the envy of all the women in the world."
Yuan Yao raised an eyebrow: "Remember what you said!"
"Yes, sir!"
Yun Chan lowered his head and lightly pecked her lips.
Yuan Yao blushed.
She coughed lightly: "Alright, it's getting late, we still need to go wish Daddy and Uncle a Happy New Year!"
Yun Chan smiled indulgently: "Okay."
The two held hands and went to the Lantai Hall together.
As soon as they stepped into the Lantai Hall, they saw Canfeng carrying a large bunch of green plum blossoms and winter plum blossoms, while Poyue was holding a plump, exquisite porcelain jar.
Upon seeing the two, Canfeng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Princess."
Po Yue seemed to be still half asleep, and gave a curt bow in a cold manner.
Yuan Yao asked with a smile, "Where have you been? Why are you so sleepy?"
Canfeng replied, "My lord wishes to drink tea brewed with pine needle snow water. Poyue and I stayed up all night to collect snow water from the mountains.
On the way back to the city, I saw wild plum blossoms halfway up the mountain and picked some to bring back.
As he spoke, Canfeng handed the green plum to Yuanyao: "Princess, wishing you a happy new year."
"A gift for me?" Yuan Yao asked with a smile.
"Hmm." Canfeng nodded: "The plum blossoms in the mountains are more fragrant than those in the palace. Placing them in the bedroom will make you feel happy."
Yuan Yao accepted the green plum blossom and said happily, "Thank you, Canfeng!"
Like an old father, Canfeng smiled shyly yet gently: "I'm glad the princess likes it."
"I like it!" Yuan Yao said with a smile.
"Hehe..." Canfeng scratched his head sheepishly.
Po Yue lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, coldly saying, "Foolish look."
Yun Chan smiled and said at the right moment, "Let's go in first."
Yuan Yao nodded: "Let's go, we're all hungry!"
After saying that, she handed the flowers to Aruo behind her: "Keep them safe for me. Give some to Father and Uncle later. Take the rest back to Qingxin Palace."
"Yes." Aruo reached out to take the flowers.
At this moment, Ah Qi walked forward with a smile: "Your Majesty, let Ah Qi hold the flowers. Ah Qi is very strong."
Yuan Yao raised an eyebrow at him.
Ah Qi looked open and honest, with a bright smile.
Yuan Yao readily handed the flowers to A Qi, smiling as she said, "A Ruo, look how diligent A Qi is! You should thank him properly later."
Aruo, who was suddenly called upon, blushed slightly and replied, "This servant has remembered..."
Yuan Yao's gaze swept back and forth between the two faces, then she looked up at Yun Chan and mouthed, "There's hope."
Yun Chan looked at her with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence: "You naughty girl."
Yuan Yao stuck out her tongue.
She broke free from Yun Chan's hand, lifted the hem of her skirt, and entered the Lantai Palace with light steps.
Before the person even stepped into the palace, a voice rang out: "Father..."
Inside the warm pavilion, the Ninth Prince was playing chess with Heyin when he heard the sound. He picked up a black chess piece and looked up toward the door.
Seeing Yuan Yao dressed in a long, elaborate palace gown, he couldn't help but remind her, "Walk slowly, don't fall."
Yuan Yao took off her cloak and tossed it to Yun Chan, smiling broadly as she said, "Daddy, Uncle Heyin, Uncle Ying, Happy New Year!"
The Ninth Prince placed a chess piece on the board and replied with a smile, "Happy New Year, Little Yao'er."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying handed him a square box: "Yao'er, a New Year's gift."
Yuan Yao happily accepted the box: "Wow! Yao'er is married now, do you still receive gifts?"
The Ninth Prince picked up another chess piece, smiled at her, and said, "As long as Father is still here, Little Yao'er will always receive gifts."
Yuan Yao's nose stung with tears, and she nodded vigorously: "Mmm!"
With her father around, she is the happiest daughter in the world!
Heyin placed a white chess piece on the chessboard before handing over a lacquered red wooden box: "Yao'er, Happy New Year."
Yuan Yao sniffed and smiled brightly: "Thank you, Uncle Heyin!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xie Ning said, "You only thank your Uncle Heyin, but not your little uncle?"
"You little rascal, you've really saddened your uncle."
Yuan Yao turned around and saw Xie Ning walking towards her, his outer robe loosely draped over his shoulders, his steps uneven.
Yuan Yao smiled.
She teased, "Uncle, do you remember what embarrassing things you did last night?"
Xie Ning: "..."
He chuckled dryly and said, "I don't remember."
Yuan Yao raised her hand and pointed to the pillar beside her: "This is covered with your saliva and teeth marks."
Xie Ning stumbled and nearly fell into the pond next to the warm pavilion.
He steadied himself, his face deathly pale, and looked up: "Saliva...?"
