After quietly eating the porridge, the palace maid served him another bowl of medicine. I looked at him once more, but he didn't even raise his head as he looked at the book in his hands.
It was a bitter taste, and I had to pick it up and drink it clean.
The snow outside was falling in a rustle, and he was feeling better. He was sitting close to me, and from time to time he would tug at my hair with one hand, pulling me toward him.
"Zhiqiu." He put down the book, his dark eyes carrying a joyful smile. "I like you to be obedient to me like this."
Leaning on his shoulder, looking at the side of his face, he mumbled: "Have I been going against you all this time?"
"Of course not." He laughed and ruffled my hair. "It's just that it's not there, as it is now. It's there because of the child."
Probably, so I stopped talking.
He smiled faintly, but there was a hint of loneliness in his smile. "It's all thanks to this child. No matter what happens, I will pamper you well."
"What is doting?" I asked, puzzled.
He laughed out loud and grabbed my hand, kissing it lightly, not allowing me to withdraw my hand. "I like a different kind of woman like you. I know very well that it's hard to capture a woman's heart when she likes to see the world. No matter the reason or the reason, when I gave you a third glance, I fell in love with you."
"Why the third eye?" I asked like a curious child.
He simply embraced me in his arms and affectionately said, "At first glance, my heart is troubled. I wonder where this woman came from, how could she recognize me as Lin Luoshui's deceptive and self-proclaimed physician with such a poor eyesight? At second glance, I think this woman is really stubborn, she isn't afraid of losing face, just what kind of woman is she. Do you know, once a man is curious about a woman, the more he wants to get to know her, the easier it is for him to be tempted?"
I don't know. But between me and Xia Junxiang, it's not like this.
What are you doing with him now, in the arms of a man, with a man's child, and thinking how ridiculous he is?
He took my hand and pointed at it and kissed it lightly. "This Emperor likes you, little Xi Xi."
I asked curiously, "How much do you like?"
"Women love to be jealous, but I allow you to eat it. I like it." He was somewhat pleased with himself.
I tilted my head and chuckled. Am I jealous? I just want to ask him if he can like it a lot, divide it a lot, give it to a lot of women.
"Don't be unhappy, little one." He kissed me on the cheek, full of joy. "Will I let you know that you are the happiest woman in the world?"
"What is happiness?" I asked again.
"It means that you're having a good time, eating well, having pain, having a pet. Everyone has to be polite when they see you and live a life of flying while standing on the clouds."
I sighed. The definition of happiness we all have is different.
But this time, I didn't say it out loud. The child will change all of my thoughts.
He stroked my face. "Little thing, what are you thinking about?"
I said lightly, "I was thinking that the day I stepped on the clouds would be painful if I fell down."
He held my face in his hands and kissed me everywhere like he was kissing a little puppy: "Little thing, you're so cute, you have to love me very much, I won't let you fall, I'll make you the noblest concubine, no one can compare to you."
I caressed my stomach. "I want to go with the child." I don't care what position he's given.
He laughed, "Of course, you little thing. I have been at your disadvantage before."
The current him was very happy. When he smiled, it was very amiable. He was like a pure and innocent boy, and not someone who possessed the dignity of a king.
I watched him smile, and I sighed in my heart.
Maybe when a person straightened his shoulders and looked up at the wind and snow, walking would be very difficult. Leaning back would be like leaning into a warm embrace. There wouldn't be any cold, and it wouldn't be difficult to walk one step at a time.
So tired, so bitter, so lonely, it doesn't prove anything, but a person can walk on, my child, every mother loves her child.
"Your majesty, Imperial Censor Li requests an audience." Eunuch Zhang reported in a low voice.
The smile on his face stiffened as he said somewhat coldly, "I won't."
"Your Majesty, Censor Li has begged for a day. It's snowing heavily outside, I'm afraid …"
"Your majesty." Another eunuch's voice changed. "Esteemed Empress Li …"
He didn't say anything more, but he had already impatiently sat up straight from the bed. He even turned his head and gently rubbed my hair. "Sleep a little more. You lazy cat, you really like sleeping. We'll have dinner together later."
I nod and watch him go out with a frown on his face
