Yu Lan's hand was held by the man beside him, and his palms felt warm.
It was quiet along the way, neither of them spoke, but their hearts were very close to each other. They could feel each other's thoughts without words. There was a sweetness that quietly warmed the bottom of their hearts.
Yu Lan could feel his fingers gently squeezing her hand intentionally or unintentionally.
Lowering his head slightly, Yu Lan blushed.
Her fingers lightly rubbed against his palm.
"Master..."
"I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you."
Zhao Chengji was stunned for a moment, squeezed her hand a little tighter, stopped, and reached out to take her into his arms.
Under the hazy night, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes scrutinizing.
"How much do you want it?"
I didn't expect him to ask this.
How much I want.
Quite thoughtful.
After entering the palace, I separated from him.
When he came here, Yu Lan was actually quite uneasy and felt uncomfortable. However, he was the only one he knew, trusted, and liked, so he couldn't help but miss him.
Even when I was talking to the Queen Mother earlier, I was thinking about what he was doing, and then he came.
Is this considered a tacit understanding?
Thinking of this, Yu Lan curled up the corners of her mouth, put her arms around his waist, and rested her cheek lightly on his chest.
"From the time we separated to now, I have been thinking about you."
Yu Lan told the truth.
When I came to this strange place, I was still pregnant with the baby and couldn't see the baby's father, so I was naturally uneasy.
Being told so frankly that I missed him.
There was warmth on his face, and Zhao Chengji could feel that at this moment, his heartbeat was a little faster than usual.
He raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of her neck, caressing her with his thumb intentionally or unintentionally.
Now Yu Lan also understands what some of his unconscious actions mean. For example, the fact that he is so close to her now shows that he is in a good mood now.
"Come, let me hug you."
"What?"
As soon as Yu Lan finished speaking, she felt her waist tighten, her feet lifted off the ground, and she was picked up. Her body flew into the air, which made Yu Lan subconsciously reach out and hug his neck.
Being held in his arms, Yu Lan was much taller than him. In this posture, she lowered her head slightly and could touch his head with her chin.
She had been hugged by him countless times, but every time she was hugged by him, Yu Lan felt a warm feeling in her heart.
He is a king, high and high.
But now he is holding himself.
Yu Lan is not the kind of person who would talk about the words like or love. For her, having a family and living a good life are more important than these love affairs.
But now, she actually wanted to tell him her feelings in person.
Thinking of this, Yu Lan lowered her head slightly and called him softly into his ear.
"emperor……"
"Um……"
"I like you and love you too."
After saying these words, Yu Lan felt ashamed and her face was very hot. She felt embarrassed. This was the first time she had said such words to a man.
Wouldn't this be too unreserved?
never mind.
Already said.
Moreover, compared to the initial idea of sleeping with him, this should be a small scene, but why was the heat on her face so hot that she felt hot.
Her voice is soft, gentle, and very recognizable.
Even though I already knew it, I still felt very good when I heard it with my own ears.
He felt like a feather had fallen on his heart, which was soft and itchy. He always wanted to do something to express his current mood.
As he walked into the dark, his vision suddenly became dark.
Yu Lan was about to speak, but her lips were blocked. The gentle and soft kiss was strong but also a little cool.
She felt the hand around her waist loosen.
In the darkness, Yu Lan's body slipped a little.
He was tall, strong and strong. In his arms, Yu Lan didn't need to be afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold her, or that he would fall.
The night wind blew gently.
The sound of trees rustling could be heard in my ears, and the lights not far away were bright and the shadows of the trees were dancing.
Suddenly I feel that the road back is quite long...
When I carried Yu Lan back to Zichen Palace, it was already late.
At this time, in the palace, white candles were placed in rows on the lampstand. Those candles were only as thick as a baby's wrist, short and neat.
The candlelight was lit, and the breeze blew into the hall through the open windows. The firelight swayed, and the entire hall was spacious and bright. In the hall, the golden dragons on the pillars hovered above. They were lifelike under the candlelight, giving people a solemn feeling.
There is an incense burner burning in the room, and green smoke curls up, filling the entire hall. The screens, soft couches, desks, and various furnishings are simple and luxurious, and the most conspicuous one is the dragon bed placed in the middle.
The bed is large, with a simple and deep color, black with purple, exuding a deep and elegant luster. The bright yellow bed curtains hang on both sides and fall casually to the ground, giving people a soft and silky feeling.
This is the emperor's palace.
It feels bigger than expected.
"This is where I live."
"Um."
"This place is bigger than I imagined."
"Master..."
"you say."
"When I was little, I heard someone say that the emperor's eating bowl was made of gold, and I always wanted to know if it was true."
Zhao Chengji was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Don't you think eating with a golden bowl makes people unappetizing?"
It hurts to look at my eyes.
But his father had used it before.
As for him, he has never used it once.
Hearing what he said, Yu Lan became more energetic and said, "That means that the bowl you eat from, Your Majesty, is not gold."
Zhao Chengji: "No."
So, how much free time do I have that I actually talked about the bowl for eating?
"I have thought since I was a child that the emperor always eats from a golden bowl."
Yu Lan was still young at that time, sitting in the field munching freshly pulled radishes, listening to her neighbors and her parents bragging that a certain relative of her family was working outside for a wealthy family. I heard that the emperor was eating
The bowls are all made of gold. I also heard that in the palace, the floors and walls are all made of gold.
At that time, Yu Lan was still thinking about where the palace was. It would be great if she lived nearby. Maybe she could get some gold from the corner.
The fact is that there is no gold on the floor of the palace, nor on the walls. However, it is true that the palace is magnificent.
See her smile.
Zhao Chengji said lightly: "Well, actually, what you said is right. The emperor's bowl is indeed gold, but mine is not."
"Father, and Grandpa Huang have also eaten from gold bowls before, but I prefer to use ceramic ones instead of gold bowls."
"I understand."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you want to take a bath?"
"At this moment?"
"I'll take you to the bathhouse so you can take a dip and sleep until you feel more comfortable."
"Where is it? I can go there by myself."
"It doesn't matter, I'll carry you."
Isn't this not good?
Can concubines in the harem be treated like this? Yu Lan didn't know, but she always felt that her father was not well-intentioned.
