The candle flames on the candlestick and the embers in the charcoal brazier crackled and popped, like fireworks, exceptionally gentle and dazzling...
Outside the palace, snowflakes began to fall.
A few snowflakes quietly landed on the windowsill, which had been slightly ajar.
The snowflakes peeked into Yaofeng Palace, only to be melted by the warmth inside...
Yuan Yao felt weak all over and could only try her best to grab Yun Chan's clothes to support herself.
Yun Chan raised her hand and caught her.
Yuan Yao thought groggily: Yun Chan is indeed sweeter than ice cream...
In a daze, the person was released.
Yun Chan's eyes were dark and bright, exceptionally deep.
The veins on his forehead bulged from his suppressed emotions...
He stared into Yuan Yao's watery eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "It's late, you should go to bed..."
Yuan Yao gradually came to her senses, looked at him with a gentle gaze, and deliberately asked, "And you?"
Yun Chan: "..."
His upbringing and his love for her were forcibly supporting his rationality...
With her last shred of reason, Yun Chan carried Yuan Yao and placed her on the bed.
He raised his hand and gently brushed the strands of hair from her cheek, saying tenderly, "You must be very tired after traveling for a day and a night."
"Get some sleep first, I'm going outside for some fresh air."
Yuan Yao leaned over the edge of the bed and asked him, "Yun Chan, are you going to take a cold shower again?"
Yun Chan's brow twitched.
His face flushed red from the tips of his ears to his neck: "How...how did you know?"
"I was just guessing!" Yuan Yao's eyes were dark and bright, exceptionally clear: "So, you really did take a cold bath behind my back?"
Let me guess, when was it?
"Yun Chan, was it the day we returned from Yicheng, when we were on the mountain?"
Yun Chan: "..."
He shook his snow-white robes, wrapped her in a quilt, held his forehead, and fled from Yaofeng Palace as if escaping.
With a creak, the palace door slammed shut.
Yuan Yao lay on the edge of the bed, smiling brightly.
Yunchan is so cute!
Moreover, he seems to really love her.
He'd rather suffer than touch her...
She... really likes him!
Yuan Yao lay on the soft bed and happily rolled over.
After rolling away, she lifted her toe and hooked the brocade quilt around herself, chuckling softly, "Broken Moon?"
"I'm here," Po Yue replied coldly.
Yuan Yao's face flushed slightly: "You...you won't have been here all this time, will you?!"
"What are you thinking about?" Po Yue said coldly, "I don't have that kind of hobby."
Yuan Yao: "?"
Yuan Yao explained, "Yun Chan and I didn't do anything!"
"Oh," Po Yue said coldly, "I almost believed it."
Yuan Yao: "!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm telling the truth!"
Broken Moon: "Oh."
Yuan Yao: "..."
Well, she lost.
In her entire life, she had never lost in front of others, except for Po Yue...
She retorted irritably, "Believe it or not!"
After speaking, she grabbed the soft, warm blanket and covered her head.
After a while, seeing that she didn't move, Po Yue said coldly, "You traitor went to take a cold bath."
Yuan Yao: "..."
She covered herself with the blanket and said, "Oh."
After replying, she didn't say anything more.
She hid under the covers and gently touched her lips with her fingertips.
As soon as I pressed my hand down, a slight stinging sensation came from my lips…
Is it swollen?
Yuan Yao's heart skipped a beat.
My heart feels as if honey is flowing through it...
Dating someone you like is so sweet!
It's so sweet!!!
Seeing Yuan Yao rolling around in the quilt, Po Yue said coolly, "His Majesty said that as long as no one dies, everything is fine."
I can turn a blind eye to some things.
Yuan Yao: "???"
Who was it that told her to restrain herself?
Otherwise, wouldn't the Ninth Prince skin him alive?
This shattered moon...
Yuan Yao abruptly threw off the brocade quilt and said irritably, "Po Yue, if you keep urging me, I'll arrange a marriage for you!"
Po Yue asked coldly, "With whom?"
"Who? Ha..." Yuan Yao sneered, "I'll give you a whole bunch of wives and concubines, so you can enjoy the bliss of having multiple wives!"
Po Yue: "..."
Po Yue snorted coldly: "Keep this good fortune for yourself!"
Xie Zhi is deeply in love with you, the new emperor is restraining himself towards you, and then there's that Night Emperor, who, unable to be your husband, will become your brother and sister...
If you accept all of these, you can have whatever you want for the rest of your life.
"At that time, I will unite the three kingdoms, dominate the four corners of the earth, and become an empress whose name will be remembered for eternity..."
Yuan Yao cursed, "You're talking nonsense!"
Po Yue: "..."
He reminded her, "Show some girlish reserve."
Yuan Yao said irritably, "Listen to what you're saying, are you even speaking human language?"
Put yourself in their shoes. If the person you love married many women, spreading their affection evenly among others, would you feel comfortable with that love being given to you?
Po Yue: "..."
Po Yue said coldly, "I'm not speaking human language."
puff……
Yuan Yao laughed out loud.
Able to bend and stretch, very resilient!
Yuan Yao clutched the soft brocade quilt, took a deep breath, and said contentedly, "It's cold tonight, you don't need to stay here with me. Go back and get a good night's sleep."
"Where is Yun Chan?" Po Yue asked.
Yun Chan?
Yuan Yao buried her face in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Isn't there a soft couch in this bedchamber? Bring a screen over and block him out so he can make do with sleeping on the soft couch."
Po Yue: "..."
He's just a tool.
Poyue jumped down from the roof beam, moved a screen and placed it in front of the bed, completely blocking out the scene on the bed.
After setting up the screen, Po Yue clapped her hands and said to Yuan Yao, "You go to sleep first. I'll leave after the traitor returns."
"Okay." Yuan Yao nodded lightly, then covered herself with the quilt and fell asleep.
The brocade quilt was soft as a cloud, fragrant and warm. As soon as she closed her eyes, Yuan Yao's consciousness gradually blurred...
She didn't know how long she had slept, but she felt a little hot.
She lazily turned over, kicked off the quilt, revealing a pair of fair, round, and adorable feet.
Suddenly, the blanket was pulled up.
Her feet were covered up completely again...
Yuan Yao said softly and coquettishly, "It's hot..."
As the sound faded, one was enveloped in a cool and refreshing embrace.
It's so cool...
Yuan Yao muttered something under her breath, then used both hands and feet to bury herself in that embrace.
The man put one arm around her and gently patted her back with the other, soothingly saying, "Be good, don't move around."
Yuan Yao obediently stopped moving.
After sleeping for a while, she said softly and coquettishly, "Daddy, it's snowing, Yao'er doesn't want to go to school tomorrow..."
Yun Chan: "..."
Is this a dream of being three and a half years old again?
Yun Chan replied softly, "Okay, no school tomorrow."
Yuan Yao was satisfied and went to sleep obediently.
The next day, Yuan Yao woke up naturally.
Inside the sleeping quarters, the charcoal fire was burning brightly.
She yawned, lazily stretched out her hand, and subconsciously reached towards her side.
The blankets beside me were cold, without a single wrinkle.
Yuan Yao, as if possessed, brought her nose close and took a light sniff.
A cool, delicate fragrance subtly enters the nasal cavity.
Yuan Yao: "!!!"
She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and rolled around twice.
Just as her face flushed and her heart was pounding, the door to her bedchamber was pushed open from the outside.
Yun Chan was dressed in a black outfit with tight sleeves, and her black hair was all tied up with a black hairband.
He was also wearing black wristbands.
Yuan Yao stood frozen on the bed: "Yun Chan, you..."
Are we going back to the State of Chu?
Yun Chan, carrying a tray, spoke in a cool voice with a hint of gentleness: "Shall we get up and wash up? I'll have breakfast with you."
Yuan Yao did not respond.
She opened her clear, bright black eyes and quietly looked at Yun Chan.
Yun Chan's heart softened. She put down her breakfast, walked slowly to the bedside, and sighed softly: "Yuan Yao, the Empress Dowager's faction has secretly dispatched tens of thousands of troops to hide in the capital of Chu."
The State of Chu... is about to descend into chaos.
Yuan Yao, I must leave you for now.
