The reddish glow dyed the sky, and the sun was half-dark, making the house dim.
Muxiang lowered her hands and said to Ruan Yuyi, "Miss, the water in the bathtub has been put."
She nodded slightly, "You go do other things and leave me alone for a while." She was soaked in the afterglow, the shadows cast by her eyelashes were long and slender, but there was no emotion reflected in her eyes.
After Mu Xiang retreated, she absentmindedly unbuttoned her clothes. With a flick of her jade fingertips, the outer shirt was taken off.
Her coat fluttered on the ground. She untied it and walked to the bathroom, not caring about it.
When she put her hands on the tie behind her neck, a hand suddenly pressed down on her. She only paused, then let go and stopped trying to untie it.
"You have to take a bath so early?" His voice was slow and lazy. It was extremely pleasant, but it made her tremble uncontrollably.
She tried her best to look normal, "It's just that I have nothing to do all day long."
There was only one hairpin in her hair, and she casually pulled her black hair into a simple bun. Jiang Huaiyang raised his hand and pulled out the little lady's hairpin. Without the hairpin's fixation, her long hair poured down like a waterfall.
The emptiness covered her smooth and snowy body.
It's just one black and one white, but it's more eye-catching.
Jiang Huaiyang took her hair, slowly picked it up with a new silver hairpin, and pulled it back for her. Although it was not as neat as before, a few strands of hair came out to outline her face, which made her look different.
The charm comes.
She stood still, as if unaware, allowing him to move.
In recent days, he came over suddenly and left after more than an hour. She had long been a little numb to his arrival and his occasional bad behavior. Not to mention leaving the yard, even if she could leave this wing, she did not dare to
Thought.
Perhaps it was because she had been bored in the house for a long time and had not seen the sun for a long time. Her skin showed a slightly sickly white color, and the red marks on her wrists were even more shocking.
He whispered to Ruan Yuyi's ear and said, "This hairpin was obtained with the money that maid sold herself. Ling Ling needs to wear it."
She knew he was referring to Moon Sand. Some unpleasant memories were brought out by his words, causing every meridian in her body to tremble, and she finally had some reaction.
She wanted to reach out and pull off the hairpin, but his big hand caught her and held it in the palm of her hand.
His palms were rough, and when he rubbed her hands, she even felt those thin calluses about to burn her.
Jiang Huaiyang took her shoulder and turned her around. He saw her eyes were dim with tears, and there were clear tears hanging from her eyelashes, as if she was really frightened by him and didn't dare to resist.
Anyone who sees the young lady like this must be a little soft-hearted and take all the blame on himself. But the death of Vice General Yuan has already built a cold and hard wall in his heart, and he
He just stared at her crying, but remained indifferent.
There were two knocks on the door behind me, and then a maid said, "Your Majesty, the Dowager Princess is here."
His hands were slightly stagnant, and he did not expect that the concubine would suddenly find this place. But considering that she had gone to find Jiang Qi before, it was not difficult to figure it out.
"Take care of the concubine first, I will be here in a moment." He said solemnly, while scraping away the tears from her eyes with his fingertips.
The palace maid responded and left.
Next door is the side hall for entertaining guests, but Jiang Huaiyang was not in a hurry to leave. His hand slid down and stroked behind her ear, "Lingling, tell me, why did the concubine suddenly come to visit?"
Every touch caused her to shudder. She bit her lip and shook her head silently.
Her eyes crossed his shoulder, and what she saw was half of the dim sky.
Why did the concubine come here? If she wanted to find your majesty, she should have gone to the palace. It was clear that she was the only one living here. Thinking about this in confusion, her eyes suddenly lit up and she went to break free from his shackles.
He begged, "Your Majesty, can I also go and see the concubine?"
How could he not understand her thoughts? He sneered and said warmly, "Why do you want to see the concubine?"
She was silent for a while, then looked away, "Since the concubine is here, she has to pay her respects, otherwise she would be treating etiquette as nothing." After saying this, she didn't know if he would believe what she said, and her heart was filled with excitement.
The beatings were so hard that she could hardly stand it.
She was wearing thin clothes, and it was getting late autumn again. The cold air penetrated her bones. It was so cold that her teeth were trembling, but she could only suppress the thought of leaning against him.
He pressed forward step by step, "Lingling has always known etiquette. But this time it's more than that?"
The refreshing fragrance of his body filled her nose.
Ruan Yuyi pursed her lower lip and climbed up to his shoulder, leaning closer to him. She stroked his lips awkwardly, feeling that his breath was getting heavier, and then she separated and said softly, "Your Majesty, can you allow me to
Go and meet the dowager?"
She could not miss this opportunity. She vaguely felt that if she could not meet the dowager this time, it would be difficult to find an opportunity to get out of house arrest.
The young lady's body was cold, but her lips and tongue were warm. The warmth reached the tips of her ears, and the ends of her eyes also turned a tantalizing red, but Mi Li was delicate.
There was a string of tinny ringing sounds between the feet.
He tightened his hand around her waist and avoided talking about her request, "The concubine is just across the wall. Lingling is really brave to do such a thing."
She felt ashamed and pursed her lips tightly, speechless.
He lowered his head and covered her lips, teasing her step by step, as if he was correcting her poor kissing skills. After a moment, she was finally able to get away, her bright red lips slightly open, breathing lightly.
He glanced at her shivering body and said softly, "Go take a bath first." Then he turned and left.
In the side hall, the concubine was sipping hot tea. Her kind face and eyes, when not smiling, were not evil and stern either.
"Toffee." Jiang Huaiyang walked in, wearing a jade crown and long robe. His posture was upright and tall, and he was extraordinary handsome. At this moment, he had lost his autumn-like chilling aura, and he looked like an ordinary nobleman.
.
The concubine raised her eyes in response, and when she saw it was him, there was a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, won't you blame me for your unexpected visit?"
He smiled faintly and said, "How could that be possible? Don't worry too much, Princess."
She looked at the now tall and tall new emperor. She still remembered that when he was a child, he was hesitant to take a candy from her. She knew that this young man was used to being treated coldly, and he had no kindness at all.
It's actually too hot for him.
A few days later, when she went to visit him again, she always saw him waiting in front of her residence. She didn't know how long he had been waiting for her.
No matter how stoic she is, she is still a child after all, and the concubine is also a mother. Seeing this situation, her heart will inevitably soften.
Maybe she just felt pity for a moment, and this kind of love was looked down upon, and could not be called selfless, but the kindness of a piece of caramel, the new emperor still remembers it now.
Jiang Huaiyang sat down.
The concubine casually chatted with him, asking him how he was doing recently, advising him not to just focus on government affairs but also to pay attention to his own health, or if anyone in the harem had any trouble.
Speaking of the harem, she raised her eyes and observed his expression carefully.
She suddenly said, "I heard that His Majesty made a decree and appointed a new talented person, and he is now placed here?"
