Yanruo introduced herself with a gentle voice and rosy cheeks:
“It’s the character ‘嫣’ in ‘嫣然一笑百花迟’ and the character ‘若’ in ‘万里赴戎机，关山度若飞’.”
Lu Xingjian raised an eyebrow at Yanruo, somewhat surprised.
The names are all introduced using poetic phrases, with the beginning being poetic and picturesque, and the latter being about battlefield conquest, creating a huge contrast and dissonance.
A beautiful young woman, well-read, gentle, and shy, can also casually recite war poems that only men would find interesting.
It's clear that they put a lot of thought into his preferences.
He only looked away when Su Wanwan came over, his expression indifferent, a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"Why is it taking so long?"
Su Wanwan choked for a moment.
It's as if she's deliberately dawdling.
This is her first time serving an elder, how can she be allowed to be perfunctory?
Isn't it quite pleasant for him to be chatting and laughing with the beautiful woman here?
Yanruo lowered her eyes, a slight joy in her heart.
It seems that the two of them don't have a very good relationship.
Given time, and with a little effort, it's not impossible for me to gain favor...
Her face flushed even more.
Su Wanwan simply asked, "Is the Emperor returning to the palace now?"
Lu Xingjian said calmly, "Mm."
Sun Qingyu and Lady Chongshan were also to leave the palace.
Yanruo then escorted them to the entrance of Renshou Palace.
Watching the emperor and empress leave, surrounded by the crowd, I was filled with countless thoughts.
On the way back, Su Wanwan remained silent.
She thought of Xia Xueyi catching her husband cheating in the East Palace that time.
Now that she has become Empress, she does not want to find herself in the same awkward position as Xia Xueyi.
She wouldn't interfere if he liked someone or wanted to favor them.
Lu Xingjian didn't say anything, looking somewhat absent-minded. He said something to Meng Yue, who then jogged ahead.
Su Wanwan thought he would go to the Qianqing Palace, but she didn't expect him to come back to the Kunning Palace with her.
At this moment, Meng Yue was directing the imperial kitchen to set the food on the table.
Su Wanwan: ? ? ?
Lu Xingjian's expression remained calm: "Eat some more."
Did you see that she barely ate anything at noon, so you specifically asked Meng Yue to arrange this?
Su Wanwan pondered for a moment, then sat down without being polite and continued eating.
Lu Xingjian also sat opposite her and ate quite a lot with elegant movements.
It seems that what happened at Renshou Palace just now was merely a formality.
It seems that even the amiable Empress Dowager Wang, with whom he had a good relationship, was not someone he completely trusted.
For some reason, Su Wanwan suddenly felt much lighter, and the food immediately tasted sweeter and more delicious.
I accidentally ate too much.
He Ying hadn't seen Su Wanwan with such a good appetite in a long time, so she smiled and asked someone to make hawthorn tea to help her digest.
After eating and drinking my fill, I just want to lie down and rest.
Lu Xingjian probably thought the same thing, and as soon as he entered the room, he pressed her against the door.
Su Wanwan really couldn't stand being so close, especially since the two of them seemed to have a somewhat cold relationship.
Without a trace of intimacy, I tried to start a conversation by asking:
"Don't you need to take a lunch break?"
The two of them barely slept last night.
Lu Xingjian gave her a deep look, then released her.
She was completely baffled by what she saw.
"Together," he said.
Su Wanwan immediately glanced towards the door.
Sleeping together during the day can easily be publicized as illicit sexual activity.
Lu Xingjian had already taken her hand and led her towards the bed.
Seeing her hesitant look, I turned to look at her:
"What are you afraid of?"
Su Wanwan lowered her voice, her face blushing shyly:
"Don't do anything reckless."
Lu Xingjian yawned nonchalantly.
With a forceful pull, he drew her into his arms.
What are you thinking about?
He glanced at her with a half-smile, then lowered his head to rub her ear, his tone full of sarcasm and mockery.
"Or is it that I haven't satisfied my wife?"
They really know how to turn the tables.
Su Wanwan glared at him angrily, punched him in the chest, and then started to help him undo his belt.
He has two completely different faces, one in public and one in private.
The moment the door closes, that's when his demeanor changes.
Lu Xingjian clutched his chest in pain, his expression contorted in agony, looking as if he were seriously injured.
"You're trying to murder your husband?"
Seeing that he was getting more and more energetic, Su Wanwan simply lifted her foot and stepped on his toes.
"screw you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was lifted into the air, picked up by the waist, and thrown onto the bed.
Su Wanwan gasped in fright.
Lu Xingjian kept a straight face and feigned a fierce tone:
"Lady Su, what is your punishment for assaulting your husband?!"
"What are you doing?" Su Wanwan struggled breathlessly, but to no avail. Soon, her clothes were scattered all over the floor.
“Of course, it’s to punish my wife,” Lu Xingjian said in a hoarse voice.
Su Wanwan was like a delicate and helpless little kitten, letting him do whatever he wanted to her.
But I still felt a little annoyed.
She bit her lip and turned her head away.
Only their undergarments remained intact.
Lu Xingjian noticed her tilting her head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he leaned down to kiss her cheek.
"What's wrong now?"
Su Wanwan turned away, not wanting to pay him any attention.
Lu Xingjian then lay down on his side, encircling her from behind and pressing his long, strong legs against her.
He was tall and imposing, and such a hug actually made people feel very safe.
Su Wanwan felt the warmth emanating from him, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Of course, she hoped that such a warm embrace would always belong to her.
However, I also know very well that this is just wishful thinking.
You must not let yourself succumb to this moment of tenderness.
