Ning Wanyin painted very slowly and carefully.
When she finally finished copying and wanted to give it to His Majesty for some pointers, she saw the man on the couch supporting his forehead with one hand, and he had closed his eyes at some point.
Ning Wanyin was startled, and immediately slowed down her movements. She gestured to Wang Degui, who was waiting on the side, to leave...
Wang Degui glanced at His Majesty and tiptoed away.
Your Majesty played chess with Concubine Ning all night last night, and was reviewing memorials during the day. He only took an hour's nap, so he must be tired.
Lian Rui and other palace maids retreated together.
Ning Wanyin gently approached Helian Qi and covered Helian Qi with the cloak hanging on the screen.
Most of the candles in the palace were extinguished, leaving only a red gauze and gold-painted palace lantern in the corner of the bed.
She didn't go to bed.
The emperor wasn't lying down yet, so naturally she couldn't lie down.
Ning Wanyin lay on the coffee table and closed her eyes.
There was so much noise during the day from digging the pond in the yard that she couldn't get a good rest.
He fell asleep after lying there for only a moment.
I don’t know how long it took…
Helian Qi woke up from a nap.
The room was dark, with only one palace lantern, but it was dark enough for him to see clearly. The woman was lying in front of him.
Her black hair was disheveled and her hairpins were crooked.
She was stained with a faint scent of ink and had not had time to change into her pajamas.
It was lying on the side of the coffee table, curled up like a kitten.
Helian Qi frowned slightly and called her: "Wake up——"
The emperor's voice was like a bolt from the blue to Ning Wanyin, waking her up instantly from her light sleep, making her alert and vigilant.
Ning Wanyin stood up quickly, looked at the emperor in front of her and bowed, "I am impolite! I saw that Your Majesty was asleep, and I dared not disturb you."
"What if I don't wake up tonight?" Helian Qi looked at her with a strange look in his eyes. Even if others deliberately made some noise, they would not miss the opportunity to sleep with her.
She slept soundly herself.
Ning Wanyin hesitated for a moment and looked at Helian Qi, "Your Majesty will summon me again, right?"
Eyes met.
Helian Qi raised his eyebrows, "Why are you so sure that I will come to see you again?"
This is not an easy question to answer.
She couldn't reveal her intention to use the chess painting to seduce him.
Nor could she point out that she was his pawn, or he would come again.
In the bedroom, while in bed, talking about calculating interests would be too depressing.
When it’s time to flirt, you have to flirt.
"Your Majesty has rewarded me with precious jewelry and clothes, and ordered people to dig a lotus pond. Your Majesty values me so much, and I privately think that Your Majesty is pleased with me!" Ning Wanyin secretly looked up at him, her eyes flickering.
Helian Qi was shaken by her hesitant look.
This little girl is always unexpected.
Indeed, quite interesting.
