C56

On that day, they were once a pair of sweet lovers, enjoying the love bestowed upon them by the heavens.

There were many hardships in the world, and fate was always unsatisfactory.

His mind also started to wander as he looked at Imperial Concubine Mu's impeccable face. It was as if he could see me standing behind her. She had once stood at the same position as me.

But now, it was as if water had been poured over it, making it hard to put it away.

"Zhiqiu, I'll bring you to him." She smiled gently.

I stumbled a little, not knowing what I was going to say, my tongue like a knot, my heart turning in the stars, trying to grab at something, powerless to grab at anything.

The two palace maids carried me. It was as if all the strength in my body had been sucked away. It was difficult for me to even move. I could only rely on the palace maid to help me walk outside.

Ai, what's wrong, what's wrong, this feeling of being light and powerless, I hate it.

"Zhiqiu, are you not feeling well?" Imperial Concubine Mu asked me in a soft voice.

I wanted to answer her question, but why did she only giggle, with a kind of excitement in her head, always wanting to laugh, always wanting to laugh.

After going around the long corridor, he was met by a gust of cold wind. How could the silver waves on the lake be so splendid under the moonlight?

Far away, a group of people were also carrying lanterns as they left. The light from the lanterns illuminated the area, making it seem as if they were in a dream.

I didn't know how I got in front of him. There was him, Zhang Xibao, and a table full of wine. I opened my eyes to look for Xia Junchang. Isn't he drinking here? Why did she disappear?

"Your majesty." Imperial Concubine Mu smiled and bowed. "Why did the banquet disperse so quickly? I just happened to meet little sister Zhiqiu coming out of the Incense Garden. She wanted to pay her respects to the Third Marquis, so chenqie brought little sister Zhiqiu here."

Under the moonlight, it looked somewhat bright and unfathomable. He stood up, saluted Imperial Concubine Mu, and then said with a smile, "Imperial Concubine truly came at a bad time. Third Prince has just left."

His eyes still carried a smile as he said, "The palace doesn't say that it's big or small, but it still needs some time to find someone. If you don't know if Sister Qiu, we can sit down and wait for you, and if Third Prince Jing can't find you at the imperial concubine palace, he'll definitely come here. Furthermore, with the moonlight being so beautiful, I've heard that Sister Zhiqiu's zither is filled the entire capital.

Whenever she spoke, I would look at her as if she had a grudge against me. However, as if she was a bit drunk, she cracked her lips into a smile. As soon as I arrived, he stared at me, his eyes so deep they were untouchable.

After listening to Imperial Consort's words, he revealed a deep smile. He raised his wine cup to toast me. "Why not?"

When my father-in-law brought me the zither, how could I have the mind to play it? I lay on the zither and gently caressed it with my fingers while laughing foolishly.

Imperial Concubine Mu lowered her eyes. "Imperial Concubine Yi is the birthday of Grand Concubine Yi. Sister Zhiqiu must have had too much to drink. This chenqie swept away the emperor's desire. Damn it. This chenqie should go find Third Marquis to pay her respects."

"Alright." He let her.

Her ghostly eyes were still staring at me.

I stared at him, but I couldn't stop laughing.

"Your majesty, chenqie just entered the palace and was really too careless. Grand Imperial Concubine Yi is an elder, please allow chenqie and imperial concubine to congratulate the grand imperial concubine."

With a wave of his hand, he told them all to leave. Two figures, one red and one green, walked in the middle of the palace maids. They held hands like good sisters, laughing as they left, while he seemed to calmly watch a good show.

"Zhiqiu." He looked at me with an evil smile in his peach blossom eyes.

I don't know, pouting, glaring at him.

He looked less proud. I don't understand what's burning in those peach blossom eyes.

But thinking about it, this emperor isn't a good person either.

Oh, I feel so hot, I just want to lie down and sleep. Xia Junxiang, hurry up and bring me home.

"Little thing." He bent over in front of me, then ran a hand over my face, ran his fingers across my cheek, and then rested them on my lips, rubbing them gently.

How can you call me that, how can you look at me like that?

Only Xia Junchang can call me little thing intimately.

"Disgusting." I said disapprovingly.

As he listened to his own voice, he seemed to mumble something. He looked at me and laughed, his thumb on my lips and his remaining four fingers pinching my face.

He opened his mouth and wanted to give it a fierce bite, but felt that it was a bit boring.

He raised his eyebrows, leaned his head down even lower, and gave me a light kiss on the cheek. "You're still a small, gnarled cat. If I gave you to me as a gift, then I won't be polite."
