Jiugongting moved quickly and arrived at Jiang Jingyue's side in no time. He looked at the little woman's face, which was red from the cold after coming out, and felt a pang of heartache.
"Xiaoyue, what are you doing out here? It's still snowing outside. What if you get cold?"
Jiang Jingyue immediately draped the cloak she had brought with her over Jiu Gongting's shoulders.
Then she glared at Jiugongting and said coquettishly.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? You know it's snowing outside? It's so cold, why didn't you wear more clothes when you came out!"
What if I get sick later?
Jiugongting hadn't expected the little woman's reaction. He thought she had run inside because she didn't want to see him. He never expected that she would bring him a cloak.
At this moment, Jiu Gongting didn't know how to describe his good mood.
"Your Majesty, please lower your head. You are too tall; I cannot reach you."
Jiugongting immediately bent down as he watched the little woman struggling to stand on tiptoe in front of him.
Jiang Jingyue put her pink hat on Jiugongting's head, and as soon as it was on, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Majesty, you look wonderful. By the way, Your Majesty, why are you so late? Why did you suddenly appear here? Please come back inside with me! It's too cold outside, don't catch a cold."
After Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, she reached out to take Jiu Gongting's hand. Feeling the warmth in his hand, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Wow, Your Majesty, your hands are so warm! My hands have never been able to warm up. I never imagined that Your Majesty's hands would still be warm even when it's freezing cold outside."
The moment Jiang Jingyue took his hand, Jiu Gongting felt it; the little woman's hand was incredibly cold. She had just come out of the house, so logically, it shouldn't be that cold.
Jiugongting immediately wrapped Jiang Jingyue's two small hands in his large hands.
"How is Xiaoyue? Is she feeling any better?"
Seeing that Jiang Jingyue was walking very slowly, Jiu Gongting simply picked up the little woman and hugged her tightly.
Jiang Jingyue was suddenly picked up, which startled her. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Jiu Gongting's clothes at the chest, afraid that she might fall off by accident.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly pick me up? Your Majesty, please slow down!"
The Nine Palaces Court moved a little faster, and Jiang Jingyue was a little scared.
He quickly carried Jiang Jingyue into the house, then held the little woman in his arms, gently warming her small hands.
Perhaps it was because Jiu Gongting's hands were warm, but after holding his hand for a while, Jiang Jingyue suddenly felt a little warmer.
"Xiaoyue, how are you feeling? Are you any better?"
Jiang Jingyue nodded, and the two of them just stared at each other without saying a word.
After staying for a while, Jiu Gongting prepared to leave. Mainly, the two of them were just sitting there in silence, and Jiu Gongting felt it was pointless, especially since it was so late and the young woman should be asleep.
So Jiugongting hesitated for a moment, but still stood up.
"Xiaoyue, I'm going back now. I'll come see you again in a few days when I have time."
Looking at the heavy snow falling outside, and then at the thinly dressed emperor, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but speak.
"Your Majesty, it's still snowing outside. Why don't you stay here? It's too cold outside."
Jiugongting had already taken a step forward, but upon hearing Jiang Jingyue's words, he immediately withdrew his foot.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Jingyue with some disbelief.
"Xiao...Xiao Yue, are you serious? You want me to stay? Are you sure?"
Jiang Jingyue nodded under his incredulous gaze.
"Your Majesty, I just... I just thought it was too cold outside, so I asked you to stay. Please don't overthink it."
Jiugongting knew the reason, of course, but he was already very satisfied that Jiang Jingyue was willing to let him stay.
"Xiaoyue, I know. I'll just rest in bed for a bit and won't disturb you. I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."
After saying this, Jiu Gongting sat down on a chair next to Jian Jingyue's bed.
He planned to stay here and watch over Jiang Jingyue. If he got sleepy, he could just lean against the bed and rest for a while.
Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but shrink inside, leaving a large area outside for the Nine Palaces Court.
Then she patted the spot on the bed, and although she didn't say anything, her eyes were fixed on Jiugongting.
Jiu Gongting simply couldn't believe what he was seeing. He hadn't expected Jiang Jingyue to invite him to sleep in her bed. He was completely flattered.
"Xiaoyue, are you sure you want me to sleep in your bed? If I go up there, I can't guarantee what might happen."
Although Jiugongting had said so, Jiang Jingyue still nodded affirmatively in the end.
"Your Majesty, please come up! It's too cold down there. If you stay down there all night, you'll definitely freeze."
This time, Jiu Gongting didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Jingyue. He climbed onto the bed and lay down next to her.
Seeing the young woman slip inside so quickly, Jiu You Palace was somewhat displeased.
He reached out and pulled the little woman into his arms.
At first, Jiang Jingyue was a little hesitant, but after feeling the warmth in the emperor's arms, she instantly submitted.
"Your Majesty, you feel so warm! This humble woman feels so comfortable."
As soon as Jiugongting got into bed, he noticed that even though the little woman had been hiding under the covers for so long, the bed was still ice-cold.
This shows that the woman must have a cold constitution, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.
Jiugongting hooked Jiang Jingyue's foot to his side and warmed her with his body heat.
Jiang Jingyue, who was initially a bit cold, instantly felt warm with this big heater next to her.
"Your Majesty, thank you. With Your Majesty by my side tonight, I don't feel cold at all." Hearing Jiang Jingyue say this, Jiugongting felt very content.
This was the first time he had ever slept with a woman and even warmed her body, something he would never have done before. But he made an exception for Jiang Jingyue.
In the past, he would have the women in the harem sent over, and after he finished with them, he would have them sent back. He never allowed them to stay overnight.
