C45 Is the Emperor here? Your majesty?

Without opening his mouth, Luo Yi could only stay in the Imperial Study room obediently. Seeing that the servants in the room did not wait upon him, they even took the initiative to do the ink work.

Chen Jinyan glanced at her, he did not say anything wrong, but he did approve of her actions.

From the papers that were presented to him from various places, besides the urgent military newspaper, there were barely any urgent matters. When Luo Yi was grinding the ink, he accidentally took a glance at it, and even saw an official of some place saying in her imperial report that there was a fruit called a Mango Fruit. It was extremely rare, and he asked the Emperor if she wanted to taste it.

Chen Jinyan rubbed his temples, and when he put the brush down, a large calligraphy character came flying out — — Read.

In addition, there were those who gave their greetings, those who gave their regards, and those who invited His Majesty out of the palace to enjoy the scenery … Chen Jinyan looked at all ten lines, and all of them were the same word.

Luo Yi did not intentionally look, but it was just the two of them in the room, and Chen Jinyan did not deliberately avoid her, so every time he looked down, he would inevitably see some content of it, and seeing it he felt that something was wrong, so he retracted his gaze and stared at the straight figure reflected on the door and windows.

That was Mu Yizhou's shadow, she knew.

Of all the people standing outside the door, only he stood with his back straight, like the spine of a mountain, unbroken by anything in the world.

She traced with her eyes the outline of the man's face on the window paper, each stroke a thrilling familiarity.

"What is Imperial Consort Yi thinking?"

After he roughly finished reading the strange reports, Chen Jinyan suddenly spoke out.

Luo Yi quickly withdrew her gaze and stopped rubbing the ink on the table. Instead, she turned to the person beside him and said, "If you want to go back, you have to get the kitchen in my palace to make a few new products."

She looked at him with a hint of displeasure and a smile. "In chenqie's opinion, perhaps the emperor loves chenqie's sweet dishes even more."

Her eyes were raised, and she spoke with the shyness of a girl, but not with pretence.

The complaints between men and women were not complaints, but rather, pleasures. Chen Jinyan understood this point, so he was happy to follow along with her words to finish the show. Even if he couldn't stop himself from complaining in his heart, thinking that Mu Yizhou must have been bewitched by his beauty earlier on, that was why he felt that he was a little white rabbit.

He should be a fox with a knife hidden in his smile.

The two of them continued to talk for a while. As they were both masters at hiding their emotions, the atmosphere had maintained a subtle harmony until someone from the palace reported that the assistant minister of the Ministry of War had requested an audience.

Luo Yi had good eyes, upon hearing that, he immediately dismissed the order, and casually left the room.

When they walked to the door, they inevitably met up with Mu Yizhou. Luo Yi hesitated for two seconds, and then nodded slightly towards him as she had arrived.

Mu Yizhou replied with a nod.

When she came, she only brought Qing Luo, but this person was sent away by her, so at present, she could only walk back by herself.

She didn't feel anything was wrong, but when she stepped out of the courtyard, she was stunned as she stared at the Imperial Guards guarding the door.

She stopped and asked the guard at the door: "Is your Mr. Wen not here today?"

Luo Yi had not seen Wen Shili ever since the two of them last met in the Imperial Garden, but it was understandable. Normally, men could not casually enter the harem, but as the Commander of the Imperial Guard, it did not make sense for him to not be by the side of the emperor right now, and to contact him with the abnormality from before …

Luo Yi frowned, seeing that the guard she called out looked at her with surprise, but quickly lowered his head, saying that Mr. Wen had been busy with many matters and had not entered the palace for a few days.

"Oh …" Luo Yi answered, she knew that with her current identity, asking more would not be appropriate, so she nodded her head and did not reply.

As there were two more people in Hall of Announcements, it was much more lively than usual. At that time, she could hear Qing Luo persuading Lin Yaoniao to take the medicine, "Empress, it's better to apply the medicine first … If you refuse to cooperate like this, our master won't come back earlier! Look at your sunburned face... "It's not that you don't want to come along with me to persuade your mistress to stay by your side? Why are you crying …"

The sound of her and Yue Hua's exasperated voices was also mixed in the middle of the conversation.

Lin Yaoniao shook her head. Her age was not a big idea, but she was very righteous, "I just want to wait for Big Sister's return!"

"My ancestor …"

"What are you waiting for me for? Do you want me to apply the medicine myself? "

Before Qing Luo could finish her sentence, she heard a voice from outside the house. When she turned around and saw the person, she almost cried tears of joy. She looked anxiously at Luo Yi as she climbed the stairs and jogged up to him.

When Luo Yi gave her something, he had not even seen her treating him with such enthusiasm. It must be because he was being tormented by the two ancestors inside the house, causing him to look at Luo Yi like a hungry wolf, his eyes gleaming with a green light.

Luo Yi's eyes curved as she patted her shoulders to pacify her. After that, she took the medicine from her hands and walked in front of Lin Yaoniao.

Lin Yaoniao was originally sitting on the chair, but when she saw her return, her eyes reddened and she immediately stood up.

Luo Yi smiled charmingly, and first used his finger to wipe away the remaining tears on her face, then teased her with the words "Weeping Ghost". Then, she used his finger to gouge out a piece of medicinal paste and spread it evenly on her face.

The medicine was cold, and applied to one's face and face. It had a miraculous effect on relieving sunburn.

Luo Yi half squatted on the ground, while Lin Yaoniao was half a head taller than her, but before she could say anything, the latter took the initiative to bend down and bring her face closer, with a pair of wet eyes looking at her, as though she was a pitiful deer.

Luo Yi comforted her: "Good girl."

Her expression was serious, afraid that if she tried too hard, the pain the child would feel would lessen, and so the process of applying the medicine continued for a long time. Her legs were numb, and she squatted straight up and down before handing the medicine over to Qing Luo, who had been waiting for her, then smacked her knees and stood up.

Lin Yaoniao felt that she had given Luo Yi more trouble, and drooped her head, not daring to look at her. Luo Yi's eyes curved, and after she sat down on a chair, she reached across a table and lightly scratched her chin: "Your eyes are also red, and your cheeks are also red.

"How nice." She laughed.

Lin Yaoniao couldn't laugh at all. Listening to her say that, she looked at him with half an angry look, but the rims of her eyes had turned even redder, as if she had suffered a huge grievance.

"Yes."

"Elder sister."

"Yes."

Lin Yaoniao called out to her one by one, which Luo Yi responded to, until she couldn't help but cry out.

She could clearly restrain herself from crying, but this person just patiently accepted all of her grievances, as if no matter what she said, he would not hesitate to believe her. Afterwards, he held her injured body in his hands, and every single one of his fingertips had a miraculous effect of soothing her pain.

Luo Yi coaxed her again for a while, then ordered the small kitchen to make a few dishes that she liked to eat to send over. Only after she had fed the people herself would she feel at ease and return to her own palace.

At night, Chen Jinyan still did not come, but he rewarded Luo Yi with many things, and even the servants of Hall of Announcements were rewarded with many money, vividly depicting what was meant by "a man wins the battle".

Luo Yi didn't understand why Chen Jinyan was doing this. Seeing the servant who passed down the order, he smiled and said that the silk was the best material in the palace, and without the empress, he modestly raised his eyebrows and said, "Sorry Your Majesty for your love."

On the second day, the rumors about the "Imperial Consort Yi being out of favour" from the palace quietly disappeared.

Of course, these were all later words, but now that Luo Yi was tossing and turning on the bed, unable to fall asleep, she could not help but guess the reason behind Chen Jinyan's actions. However, she was unable to understand why.

It was not a loud sound, but it was very clear because the surroundings were too quiet. Luo Yi was careful, she wrapped her clothes around herself and crawled up from the bed. She also grabbed a candlestick from the table, and then carefully walked towards the window.

As she walked closer, she could hear a sound that was getting louder and louder. Luo Yi had her back against the wall, thinking that if anyone broke into the room, she would throw the candle at them, but she did not see anything from the window even after a long while. On the other hand, her own hand that was holding the candle felt extremely sore, and she finally compromised by putting it down.

The rustling outside the window gradually weakened as Luo Yi extended her arm to open the window a crack.

There was no movement.

She thought for a moment, then slightly forced the window open wider.

Still no movement.

The silence outside the window was like what she had just heard was an illusion.

Luo Yi repeated what sheshead done since she entered the palace to her mind. After confirming that she did not make any enemies, he took two steps to the left and revealed half of her face by the window.

Nothing.

The courtyard was quiet, and only the shadows of trees could be seen under the moonlight.

Luo Yi became even more daring now, she immediately appeared in the window frame and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, she muttered in doubt.

"Did he see a ghost? This is …"

She closed the window, and at the same time that she stuck her body out, her eyes inadvertently shifted to the right, meeting a pair of deep eyes. It scared her so much that her heart stopped for a split-second, and her feet slipped.

Wen Shili's speed was extremely fast, he had rushed through the window to support his chin before Luo Yi fell.

"..." Are you here to scare me? "

Luo Yi still had a lingering fear in her heart, so she borrowed the force of the impact to stabilize herself before glaring at Wen Shili.

Wen Shili did not mind.

He supported himself on the windowsill with one hand and jumped in. When he landed, he was even able to move slightly to the side while taking care of Luo Yi's position.

Luo Yi said as she looked up, "Mr. Wen barging into my concubine's bedroom late into the night was probably not ordered by the Emperor?"

As she spoke, her expression didn't contain the slightest hint of blame. Instead, she leisurely strolled over to the table and sat down. She poured a cup of tea for this guest who had come late into the night and said, "It's cold. Let's drink."

Wen Shili sat down facing her in a natural manner, placing the things in his hands on an empty chair beside her.

Luo Yi roughly looked around, and saw that it was a kite.

"I heard that the Empress asked about this subject outside the imperial study today."

Without waiting for her to ask the reason for his arrival, Wen Shili spoke first.

Luo Yi was startled, the teacup paused at the edge of her lips for a good while, and then she said, "Ah … Actually, there was nothing much to ask, it was just a casual question … Mr. Wen specifically came here to ask about this? "

Yes and no.

Wen Shili immediately shook his head, pointing to the kite at the side with his chin before Luo Yi could ask further, "The Empress's kite broke, I specially made a new one for you."

Luo Yi, "..."

He was probably talking about the kite that hung on the tree when they first met.

The kite had been cut open when the young eunuch of her palace fell from the tree, and was probably thrown away like trash by Qing Luo. She did not pay much attention, and never thought that Wen Shili would personally make another one for her.

"The Empress is too courteous."

was still as cold as ever, the tone of her voice didn't fluctuate at all due to the estrangement in her words, making Luo Yi unable to help but start to suspect that she was being overly emotional. However, her gaze stopped at the kite for a moment, and she pretended to inadvertently remind him, "Your majesty, you have given me a lot of things today, I heard the old man in the palace say that this is an honor that even the empress has never had."

"The Empress is so fortunate."

"Thanks to your majesty's love, I am also flattered."

"The Empress is too modest."

After going back and forth like this, Luo Yi felt that she had said everything she should not have said, but Wen Shili still maintained that calm demeanor. Seeing this, Luo Yi became discouraged, and finally drank a mouthful of tea in anger, not willing to waste any more words with him.

Wen Shili suddenly laughed at this moment.

His smile was very shallow, and the faint lines at the corners of his eyes made him feel much gentler.

He placed the kite on the table and borrowed the weak light of the candle to speak. "I personally wrote this character. How does the Empress see it?"

"Not bad."

After a moment of silence, Luo Yi muttered.

What Wen Shili had written was a walking book, a long string of fluent books. In truth, Luo Yi did not understand what the other party had written, she only took a glance and felt that the words were not bad, so she answered.

However, it was as if Wen Shili could not hear his at all. The mere words of praise made his smile even wider, and he then pushed the kite towards Luo Yi, "As long as the Empress thinks it's good, it's good."

He stood up. He clearly still had something to say, but for some reason, he swallowed it all back down. He wiped his smile from his face and said, "I'll be troubling you late at night. I hope the Empress can forgive me."

Luo Yi, "..."

Was this person a street performer before he entered the palace? He changed his face so quickly!

Luo Yi felt very tired, and thought that it was only a few steps from the table to the window, so she didn't bother to get up again.

Wen Shili paused.

His back was facing Luo Yi, and it was unknown if his voice was due to the darkness of the night or what it was called, but it was tainted with a trace of coldness.

He said goodbye to the Empress.

"Goodbye." Luo Yi fished the kite from the table and repeated it absent-mindedly.

At that time, she didn't know that this farewell really only had the meaning of saying goodbye.
