A snow-like fragrance overflowed from the ancient and solemn auspicious beast incense burner, and quietly enveloped the night like mist.
So, the beautiful dream that made Chun's heart beat faster became deeper and deeper.
The veil outside the bed fell down, creating an enclosed environment that made people feel uneasy for no reason.
How did he get on the bed... Yun Zhiyan hadn't figured it out yet when she came up to him with her hair loose. Her bright, dark eyes, with a hint of tenderness, asked him, "Why don't you kiss me?"
No.
Yun Zhiyan looked away with difficulty. His memory was still stuck on the time when he was congratulating the empress dowager on her birthday. He might have forgotten something. He wanted to find out what was going on first, otherwise he would feel deeply guilty for being so disrespectful to his sister.
"Are we really getting married?" He exhaled and uttered the complete sentence.
"Yeah." Yu Huan replied casually, as if he didn't understand why he would ask such a question.
"Does the Queen Mother know?" Yun Zhiyan spoke slowly. He subconsciously felt a little bit unconvinced.
"Of course. My dowry was all prepared by my aunt." She said as she touched the dragon pattern embroidered in gold thread on his pajamas.
Yun Zhiyan began to believe it.
What she said was very reasonable. He imagined that when the two of them got married, the empress dowager who loved her should prepare a dowry for her.
He wanted to ask more questions, but just as he opened his mouth, she pulled his pajamas in dissatisfaction.
"Do you want to kiss me again?" She approached him.
Their faces were so close that their breaths mixed together, making it feel so hot that it was unsettling.
Yun Zhiyan pursed her lips with difficulty, not knowing how to react, but she had waited enough and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. She suddenly let go and pulled herself away from the charming atmosphere.
"If you don't want to kiss me, then forget it." She muttered and turned away.
Qiayun Zhiyan's legs pressed down the gauze on her dress. When she turned around, the gauze was pulled, revealing a piece of snow-white back.
Yun Zhiyan's breathing suddenly became heavy.
She glanced back, her eyes a mixture of shyness and anger, as if she felt he was being reckless. Yun Zhiyan then withdrew his gaze from her jade-like skin and hurriedly leaned forward to coax her, "Don't be angry, I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you, isn't that good enough?"
The words came out carelessly, and Yun Zhiyan's ears turned red as if blood was about to drip out.
His heart was beating restlessly in his chest, his breathing became more and more rapid, and every breath he exhaled was hot.
He leaned over to her while she was waiting, and the mere touch of their lips was enough to make him feel very confused.
He tentatively pried open her lips. The warm and sweet touch made him greedy and he unconsciously wanted more.
The atmosphere became increasingly chaotic...
.
"Your Majesty, the time has come. It's time to get up and attend the morning court."
The palace maid who was waiting to serve her in dressing shouted three times before some movement was heard from behind the curtain.
"Brother, I'm sleepy...stay with me for a while." Yu Huan, with her hair scattered on her side and plum-like red marks on her neck, pulled him.
"Okay." Yun Zhiyan agreed without a second thought. He had been diligent in his duties since ascending the throne, even the imperial censors had nothing to say. So, why wouldn't he suspend court for a day to accompany his queen?
"Liu Yi, send someone to tell them that today's court session is cancelled."
He gave the order, but the palace maid was still calling in his ear.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's getting late..."
"Didn't you say there's no court today?" He shouted angrily and suddenly sat up from the couch.
The palace servant outside the curtain, shaken by his sudden anger, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know that court was cancelled today. Please forgive me..."
The sunlight shines through the carved window lattices and through layers of gauze into the bed.
Yun Zhiyan suddenly realized something and didn't even care about the palace maid. He turned around and looked to the side.
It was empty, without clothes, without red marks like plum blossoms, and without her.
How could this be? That feeling was so real. Yun Zhiyan looked down at his arm in disbelief, but the smooth, scratch-free arm proved that it was all a dream.
Yun Zhiyan sat there for a long time, until Liu Yi realized something was wrong and walked over to the bed, calling him tentatively, "Your Majesty?"
The memories were also shattered by reality. Yun Zhiyan felt complicated and indescribable. Sometimes he felt that he was not a human being for having such thoughts about his sister. Sometimes he sympathized with Zhuang Zhou who dreamed of a butterfly and did not want to wake up from his beautiful dream.
He lifted the quilt and tried to get up, but the wet feeling from underneath froze him.
.
"Would you like some snacks, brother?" Yu Huan came over with some cakes.
When Yun Zhiyan looked up, he saw her snow-white and smooth wrist. The feeling of licking and biting in his dream last night was still lingering in his mind. He put more force into his pen and poked out a dark ink dot.
A layer of red quickly spread across the back of his neck, his arms were stiff, and his body dared not move, except for his eyes that were evasive.
Yu Huan noticed his strangeness and moved closer with ulterior motives, "Brother, why don't you write anymore?"
"Brother, why don't you kiss me?"
The two sentences seemed to overlap. In order to avoid her, Yun Zhiyan leaned back, his movements open and aboveboard. Only he knew what was going on in his mind.
"Brother, are you tired of writing?" Yu Huan pretended to be concerned.
"Brother, please be gentle..."
The inkstone was knocked to the ground, and he got up hastily and fled in defeat.
"I'll take these back and write them, and then send them back to you when I'm done," he said.
Yu Huan looked at his back, somewhat puzzled.
She thought that he must be feeling unwell which was why his face turned red. She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to try to bully him, but she didn't expect him to react so strongly and just run away.
