Chapter 78: Pressure and Shock

Facing Yunqin's panic, Huo Jinchi maliciously leaned forward slightly, letting her stick completely to him.

"Didn't you tell me not to look at it?"

Yun Qin held his collar tightly. The newly grown pink flesh on her back was sensitive. When his thinly folded hands caressed it gently, her body shuddered. If she hadn't bitten her lips tightly, she would have whimpered.

Hawking Chi felt her body tremble slightly, the smile in his eyes was instantly replaced by darkness, and the corners of his mouth tightened a little.

Obviously, his evil intentions not only teased Yun Qin, but also teased himself.

Before he lost control, he restrained himself and quickly withdrew his hand. He also straightened her clothes and carefully tied her belt.

Yun Qin's face turned red from the base of her neck to the tips of her ears, and even the exposed skin on her arms was tinged with pink.

There were physiological tears in her eyes, but the look she gave me was full of allure.

Hawking's throat rolled, "Don't provoke me again."

After hearing this, Yun Qin felt even more aggrieved. What had she done to her that she could bully others so righteously!

Seeing her glaring at him, Huo Jinchi couldn't help but bent down and kissed her on the eyes.

Then he suddenly picked up Yun Qin, but instead of walking towards the screen, he turned around and put her on the couch, and sat on the other side of the low stool, keeping a distance from him.

After she sat down, Yun Qin finally reacted and blinked at Huo Jinchi who was sitting down.

This person can't be really bad.

Seeing that she was still looking at him, Huo Jinchi gave her a warning look, "I told you, don't provoke me!"

Yun Qin then withdrew her gaze and sat down obediently.

Huo Jinchi chuckled again, reached out to pour himself a cup of tea, and snorted, "I don't know who said that I am very polite. I have been here for so long, but I don't even know how to pour me a cup of tea."

Did he give himself a chance?

Yun Qin resisted the urge to glare at him, but didn't dare to say anything. She reached out and pushed the tea he had just poured in front of him, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Huo Jinchi was holding the teapot, almost laughing out of anger at her. He curled his fingers and wanted to pinch her face again.

Who would admit defeat if they are thicker-skinned than you?

Yun Qin curled her lips inwardly, but still kept her eyes downcast with a submissive look on her face, as if she didn't notice Huo Jinchi's half-smile at all.

Knowing that she was pretending again, Huo Jinchi was too lazy to care about her. He picked up the tea and took a sip, suppressing the heat in his heart, but his eyes were still wandering around Yun Qin.

"You don't like the jewelry I sent you? Why are you still wearing this simple one?"

Hearing his random question, Yun Qin subconsciously took off the hairpin on her head and said, "It's too heavy. This is just right."

Huo Jinchi couldn't help but laugh, "Coquettish."

"If the emperor wants to make fun of me, then he can do so." Yun Qin snorted softly, twisting her sleeves with her fingers. "Last time, the emperor sent a bag of golden melon seeds to me. Wasn't he just trying to make fun of me for being ignorant?"

Install and install again.

Huo Jinchi held the teacup and looked at her with a smile, "Why, do you think the golden melon seeds I gave you are not enough?"

However, Yun Qin did not glare at him as he had imagined. She still lowered her head and twisted her sleeves with her fingers. He was about to speak when he saw drops of tears falling on the back of Yun Qin's hands and sleeves.

The smile on his face faded a little, and he reached out to touch her face, "Why are you crying?"

Yun Qin did not dodge his hand. She raised her head along with his hand and two tears fell. "I am just ignorant. This is the first time I have seen so many good things and so much money. It is reasonable for the emperor to make fun of me."

Her tears fell in large drops and landed on Hawking's fingers, feeling a little cool.

He couldn't tell how much of her crying was real and how much was fake, but at this moment, looking at the little face that he could cover with one hand, the pain in his heart was real.

"I'm not making fun of you." He added somewhat palely, "Really."

Yun Qin glanced at him and sniffed softly, "Your Majesty is lying."

Huo Jinchi chuckled at what she said, and gently rubbed the end of her bright red eye with the tip of his thumb. How stupid! She didn't know how to pretend for a while. She was so easy to please, how could she ask for anything from me?

It was rare for him to reflect on himself: she came from a humble background but had a strong sense of self-esteem, so it was inevitable that she was sensitive, and he really shouldn't have made fun of her.

"I'm not lying to you." He whispered to her, "It's not worth crying about this. I'll have someone send some more things over tomorrow. You can choose whatever you want."

Yun Qin sniffed again and gently rubbed his fingers, but she cried even more pitifully, "Your Majesty, do you think I am being too hypocritical? After all, everything I have was given by Your Majesty. I am just afraid..."

I can't be afraid of you!

Now only money can give her some pressure!

Seeing that she was crying so pitifully, Huo Jinchi stood up and sat beside her. He stretched out his long arms and held her in his arms, gently stroking her trembling back, "Don't cry."

He naturally knew what she was afraid of. She was just afraid that he was just interested for a moment and that everything before her would vanish in the blink of an eye.

With her intelligence, she would not believe him even if he promised her now. Since she didn't say it out loud, why should he promise? It would only ruin the atmosphere and make both of them unhappy.

Where he couldn't see, Yun Qin's eyes didn't show much emotion. She had no expectations in her heart when she said those words, so naturally she couldn't say she was disappointed now.

She said this just as she had asked Xu An countless times about how the emperor was doing. It was just a routine matter.

Just let the emperor feel that he is in his heart.

"Yunqin, stop crying!" Huo Jinchi felt the trembling under his palm and his tone became heavier.

Yun Qin knew when to stop and gradually stopped crying. She leaned on Huo Jinchi's shoulder and wiped her tears.

"Look up and let me see."

Yun Qin refused to look up and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, please don't watch it."

“Now I feel ashamed.”

Huo Jinchi stroked her hair gently but did not force her, as he was afraid that she would cry again if he made a fool of herself.

Yun Qin fiddled with the buttons on his collar with her fingers without looking up.

Feeling her little movement, Hawking Chi let out a low laugh from his throat and bent down to kiss her on the top of her head.

Yun Qin didn't feel the kiss he placed on the top of her head, and was thinking: He must have something to say since he came here specially today.

Then he asked, "How come the emperor has time to come here today?"

"Did you see Lady Su today?" Huo Jinchi did have something to do, so when she brought it up, he followed up her question and asked, "Do you blame me in your heart?"

Complain? How dare she?

Yun Qin sneered in her heart, with no expression on her face, but her tone was still filled with resentment, "The Emperor must have his own considerations."

Seeing that she was not pretending to be understanding, Huo Jinchi held her shoulders tighter and said without explaining, "You will have to stay in Chunxi Palace for a while."

Hearing the voice, Yun Qin finally looked up at him.

Huo Jinchi looked into her eyes quietly, "Do you blame me?"

His behavior did not scare Yun Qin. Her eyes flickered slightly and she said softly, "I know that the Queen Mother is not satisfied with me. The Emperor is protecting me."

These words made a little smile appear in Huo Jinchi's eyes. He felt more comforted than ever before. He lowered his head and kissed Yun Qin lightly between her eyebrows. Although his face was still calm, he decided to double the amount for her.

"I will talk to the two aunts so that they won't have time to embarrass you."

Yun Qin nodded obediently.

She knew in her heart that the struggle between the Emperor and his court officials had not yet ended. The court officials naturally included his maternal relatives, and fighting against his maternal relatives meant fighting against the Empress Dowager.

As someone who has the "aura of a favored concubine", I am likely to be used by the empress dowager.

She was living a very comfortable life hiding behind Su Meiren, and it would be foolish for her to rush to show up.
