He looked very relaxed, but he had a faint feeling that something had happened in the past two days that she didn't know about. "Your Majesty, if you don't want to be a beauty, then so be it."
"Then does Third Young Miss of the Qin Clan want me to make you my concubine? How about … Consort De? "
"Your majesty, if it's just a temporary surnamed Qin, it has nothing to do with the Qin family. If it's a case of not wanting to be your concubine, it's a matter of wanting freedom." With a straight face, Zhiruo said in all seriousness.
"What, isn't my beauty free now?" Xi Men Rui Xue did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Xi Men Rui Xue, tell me, I can't even walk out of this room. Where is my freedom?" If it wasn't for his order, Cui'er wouldn't have let her go.
"Aren't I here now? Get up and eat together with me. Then, I'll bring you to the Ru Yi Hall, okay?" With a hug, Ruo Ruo's soft body leaned against his. The moment she heard "Ru Yi Restaurant", her heart softened.
"Will you really take me to the Ru Yi Hall?" She wasn't even allowed to leave this place, so why would he be so kind to bring her to the Ru Yi Hall? She really didn't believe it.
"En, let's go and have a meal. We will only be able to go if we have sufficient strength to eat." He coaxed her, making her feel embarrassed. After a moment of consideration, he got out of bed, casually tied her hair with a handkerchief, and put on a white silk dress. When he started, her clothes fluttered gently.
The dining table was filled with dishes. It seemed that she was angry, but because he had promised to take her to the Ruyi school, she endured it. When she thought of going to the Ruyi school, even her appetite had grown.
He leaned on his elbow and looked at him steadily, almost saying, "You better eat quickly."
However, his chopsticks unexpectedly landed on the corner of her mouth, and a grain of rice stuck to his chopsticks before being put into his mouth.
"Hello …" "You …" Ruo Ruo was stunned. She hastily wiped the corner of her mouth with the silk handkerchief that Cui Er had prepared. She had been too careless just now. She had not expected that Xi Men Rui Xue would even eat the rice at the corner of her mouth.
"We're full. Let's go." With an elegant smile, he wrapped his slender arms around her waist and prepared to leave.
He clapped his hands together, "Put it down, I will walk by myself." He really didn't know what the heck he was up to. To her, he was unfathomable.
"You can't go through the main entrance. You have to go quietly."
"Why?" She didn't want to do this. She didn't want to act like a thief.
"What? Does my beauty want everyone in the palace to know that you live in my bedroom?"
These words rendered him speechless.
Seeing her silence, Xi Men Rui Xue said, "How about I tell this palace that I have a woman on my bed every night, and that is …"
"Hey, don't say anymore." She didn't want to sleep on his bed, nor did she want to have any ambiguous relationships with him. Yet, he insisted on forcing her.
"Then go back secretly. I don't want any problems, I'm tired."
It was as if he was only letting her know about his preferences. Looking at his face which was full of fatigue, she could not help but feel sorry for him. "Why don't we go tomorrow night?" He knew that he didn't want her to leave because he didn't want the people of the palace to know that she was living on his dragon bed. For some reason, this was clearly what she wanted, but in her heart, there was a hint of disappointment.
In the end, she was still his woman.
Right now, his body was already his.
She sighed. She wanted to refuse to accept her fate, but no matter what, she could not change what had happened.
"What, you can't bear to part with me?" He then kissed her forehead, and with just a single kiss, her face turned red.
She secretly scanned her surroundings. Fortunately, there were only two or three palace maids in the dining hall. At this moment, none of them lowered their heads and looked at her and Xi Men Rui Xue. Perhaps, none of them saw how he treated her just now …
"Let's go." As she spoke softly, the smell of his body floated in front of her. The smell caused her heart to shiver. It was unknown when it had started, but she had gotten used to his embrace.
From the Jing Yang Palace to the Ru Yi Hall, the majestic emperor had flown out of the window. He took a small path and leaped over the palace walls. When he stepped into the Ru Yi Hall, it was once again filled with chrysanthemums.
Beautiful beyond compare.
He wanted to know more about his mother. He wanted to walk into his mother's studio and admire the scroll painting that he hadn't finished the last time.
Each and every one of them was signed by Ling Xueru, and each of them was elegant and charming, making people not want to leave their line of sight.
"Rui, I suddenly remembered that last time when we were leaving the Whisk Willow Manor, you said that you wanted to pretend to be Young Noble Ling. Why is it that my mother's concubine and your mother's concubine are both surnamed Ling?"
"Oh, they're cousins."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"What's wrong with that? The relationships between the people in the palace are all complicated. For example, the young girl from the Yun Family sent over today is the younger sister of Yun Ru Xi, but …"
"But what?" He was looking at a painting and casually asked.
"But you want to be my empress? Haha, tell me, what do you want her to call upon when she sees the empress dowager in the future? That's still a generation away from it. "
"You agreed?" The finger that was on the scroll unconsciously trembled. Thinking about Yun Ru Xi and Yun Xi Hu, she hated the people of the Yun Family to the core.
"Yes, I agree."
These four light words caused the scroll in her hand to fall. A dull thud was heard as it landed on the table, knocking against her heart.
It was said that he would choose the Blue of the Qin, but in the end, he still chose Yun Ru Xi's sister, Yun Ru Jing, because of Yun Ru Xi.
Without saying anything, she walked to the desk, moved the inkstone over, and lit the water before softly studying the ink. One after another, the weak voice lingered in the quiet night, making her heart feel heavier.
"Ruo'er, what's wrong?" Xi Men Rui Xue followed him. Two arms wrapped around her waist, and his lips were pressed against her hair. He was sniffing the light, elegant, natural fragrance that belonged solely to a woman that no other woman would have.
What he liked was the natural scent on her body, and it was intoxicating.
"It's nothing. I just want to write. Release me quickly."
"Not at all." The more he wanted her, the more he discovered that he was infatuated with her body and liked to sleep peacefully by smelling her scent. That way, he would be able to sleep soundly and dreamless for the entire night.
A thick scent of ink floated at the tip of his nose and dipped into the rich ink. As he finished writing, he wrote down a line of words. It was actually Li Qingzhao's song, "A Snip of Red Lotus Fragrance".
Red Lotus Root Starch. Relax Luo Chang and board the boat alone. Who in the clouds would send a beautiful book? The moon was full in the west wing.
Flower from the drift of water flow, one kind of lovesick, two places to worry. There was nothing he could do to dispel this feeling. However, when he frowned, it was in his heart.
She wrote, he read.
After a long while, when she finished writing the last word, he said in a low voice, "Ruo'er, it was I who made you frown, but it seems like your heart is on your mind?"
When the pen landed on the inkstone, it turned around and looked at the hourglass behind him. A night had passed, and a lot of time had passed. "Rui, go back. I'm sleepy." He didn't want to say anything more. He kept many things on his mind and didn't want to talk to anyone.
"No more pictures?" he asked suspiciously, but remembered how happy she had been when she heard she was coming to the Ruyi.
"En, I'm tired. I'm not watching it anymore." Her heart was truly tired, she hated Yun Ru Jing being the empress.
"Ruo'er, do you have something on your mind?" As he chased after her, the hand around her waist actually gained a bit more strength.
"No, if he really is sleepy." He yawned, "Look, it's almost midnight." Mother's artistic conception was exceptionally good. Just by looking at it, one would think that it was impossible for one to change his state of mind. As such, four hours had passed unknowingly.
"Alright." Without explaining anything, he embraced her and returned to Jingyang Palace. That night, just like the previous two nights, he only embraced her and did not do anything to her.
However, she had never seen him again. It seemed that he had come back, because when she woke up in the morning, she would find that depression by the side of her bed, but he had not asked her anything. If he had purposely avoided her, then why would she disturb the silence between them? It was just that these few days, she had thought about her future a lot, thought about her future, thought about Ah Ji, but no one could do anything about it.
He leaned on the bed and pretended to be asleep, unable to read a single book. The tranquility of the room was suddenly broken by a loud laughter.
It was an unfamiliar voice that Ruo Ruo was sure she had never heard before.
"Is the Emperor not here?" Accompanying the laughter was the delicate voice of a girl that was about to drip water.
Just as Ruo Ruo who was on the bed was about to go behind the screen, the woman walked in. "Hey, who's on the soft couch?"
His heart skipped a beat. If Cui Er didn't want this girl to see her, she would have given her some warning sounds. But she didn't have any hints.
This meant that the woman had come with Cui'er's permission.
After hiding from her for so long, was Xi Men Rui finally not afraid of being seen again?
At this moment, there was nowhere for her to hide. She was still lazily lying on the soft couch, trying her best to remain unmoving.
The woman moved towards her, and a strong fragrance made her sneeze involuntarily. A woman's fragrance could be pleasurable, but it could be used so much, causing her to lose her original innocence.
"Who are you?" the woman asked, her voice full of curiosity.
