After hearing this, Yinzhen reached out and touched her cheek, and said seriously: "It doesn't matter, she will look happier if she is fatter."
Ji Ling thought to herself: ...I don’t want any joy (┯_┯)!! The mellow kind?
The two people entered the inner hall and hadn't seen each other for several days. Ji Ling kept staring at Yinzhen's profile.
He noticed it and turned to look at Ji Ling: "What are you looking at?"
Only then did Ji Ling realize that his eyes looked a bit like a wretched idiot (?˙︶˙?)?
She looked away sheepishly.
We haven't seen each other for a few days, why does it feel like Fourth Master has lost weight again?
The cheeks were more angular, the brow bones were more convex, and the whole person's eyes were deeper. When he looked at her with a smile and no words, he had a very affectionate meaning.
Yinzhen took her into his arms smoothly, and the servants beside him all retreated in a wise manner.
Yinzhen lowered his head and smelled it in Ji Ling's hair. It was still the familiar scent.
He whispered: "I haven't been here for several days. I miss Lingling very much."
Qixi was guarding the door of Nuange, where the little eunuch was sweeping the yard. Qixi winked and asked Yiyun to tell him not to make any noise, disturbing the conversation between the emperor and his master.
The emperor has not been here for several days, and the master is as stable as a mountain, sitting on the Diaoyutai. They, the slaves, can't help but be a little more vigilant than the master.
In the Nuan Pavilion, after washing up, Yinzhen wore only a plain white singlet and lay on his back on Ji Ling's lap.
He said he had a headache after reading too many poems, so Ji Ling massaged his head. Yinzhen closed his eyes and said nothing, but he looked satisfied.
In the warm pavilion, one person lies down and another person sits, leaving only a lamp like a bean, spreading gentle light and shadow throughout the room.
After a while, Yinzhen raised his hand and held Ji Ling's hand: "You should also take a rest. There is no need for massage. Taking care of the child is not easy."
Ji Ling smiled, stopped holding his hand, but did not let go of Fourth Master. In this posture, he lay on his chest and whispered softly: "Why do I have to work so hard? A group of slaves are helping me. You are the only one who has worked hard."
Yinzhen held her hand, brought it to his lips, kissed it gently and said, "It's all hard work."
He paused, then breathed out softly and said, "It's all hard work!"
Ji Ling said nothing.
She hugged him and stayed with him, looking at the lights in the distance in a trance. After a while, she heard that Yinzhen made no movement.
She looked down and saw that Fourth Master had fallen asleep.
Even in his dream, his brows were still furrowed.
Ji Ling reached out and gently smoothed his eyebrows.
Yinzhen's breathing was deep and long, which Ji Ling didn't expect. He slept as soon as he said he would, and he slept so soundly, which showed how tired he was during the day.
She reached out to pull the quilt behind her, trying to cover Yinzhen, but as soon as she moved, Yinzhen frowned.
Ji Ling thought that she had woken up the fourth master, and immediately froze in place and did not dare to move. However, Yinzhen did not open his eyes, adjusted his posture slightly, and continued to sleep.
After a while, Ji Ling felt his legs were a little numb...
The human flesh pillow that Fourth Master chose is quite good.
Qixi asked her gently at the door of Nuan Pavilion if she wanted to bring dinner, and Ji Ling motioned for her to come over.
As Qixi approached, Ji Ling pointed to the palace lantern on the table, meaning to ask her to put it out.
She was going to leave it at that, move the fourth master to the bed, and let her sleep until tomorrow morning.
Seeing him so tired, it was impossible for her not to feel distressed.
Qixi knelt down first and took off Yinzhen's boots. With this movement, Yinzhen woke up.
The moment he woke up, he looked a little confused, but soon he woke up, raised his hand and made a fist, rubbed his brow and said, "What time is it?"
Ji Ling helped him stand up, informed him of the time, and said: "Your Majesty, I am very tired today. Go to bed quickly. I will ask someone to bring in water for washing."
Yinzhen reached out and touched her head: "What about you?"
Ji Ling said: "Of course I fell asleep too."
After finishing speaking, Yinzhen smiled slightly and said: "That's strange, don't you need dinner?"
Only then did Ji Ling react. He raised his hand and patted his head: "I even forgot about it!"
Yinzhen looked at her with an expression on his face: "You, a foodie, can actually forget about eating. It's really the best thing in the world."
The maids brought in hot water, and Yinzhen washed his face and felt refreshed. Qixi didn't go to the dining room to arrange for dinner to be served.
Dinner was served in a pot. It was steaming hot, and the aroma of chili came out immediately. Ji Ling directed Qixi to put the vermicelli, tofu skin and other things into the pot. Yinzhen saw it from the side and picked it up for her with his own hands.
A piece of lamb meat and said: "Try this".
The pot was full of red oil soup. Ji Ling was thinking about her sins and sins, but she still couldn't stop using her chopsticks.
Fragrant, spicy and numb, so delicious!
After eating, Ji Ling held her bulging stomach, half regretful and half satisfied.
She and Yinzhen lay down with their heads side by side.
She has always been the kind of person who can't sleep when she's hungry, but once she's full, she can sleep soundly next to the pillow.
After closing her eyes for a while, Ji Ling inexplicably felt Yinzhen's eyes next to her.
She turned her head to the side out of nowhere, and saw Yinzhen looking at her too.
"What's wrong?" She turned over and rolled directly into his arms, half-pressing on Yinzhen and asked him.
Yinzhen raised his hand and touched her hair, stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.
Ji Ling thought about it, then understood, and said: "The emperor was sleeping deeply just now, but is he no longer sleepy now?"
Yinzhen shook his head, patted her back, held her hand and said, "Go to sleep."
Ji Ling always felt that he couldn't explain the strangeness tonight.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in Yinzhen's chest. She felt a soft touch on her forehead. It was the Fourth Master who lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
He suddenly whispered: "Lingling, I have wronged you by making you a noble concubine."
Ji Ling was startled and suddenly woke up. She raised her head and blurted out: "I'm not wronged!"
She thought for a while and said sincerely: "The Emperor is really good to me, and it has been the same as in the past for so many years, and it is even getting better. I... I am satisfied."
She really feels that way.
After so many years, I think about it, and when I count everything, I see that Yinzhen is an emperor, but when he is facing her, he is only infinitely tolerant and gentle. He only protects her, and there is never anything that requires her to be patient and seek perfection.
, and there has never been anything that made her feel aggrieved or left a knot in her heart.
there has never been.
Yinzhen was silent for a while in the darkness, his tone was so gentle that it almost dripped with tears, and his voice was low and magnetic: "The more you have such a character, the more I feel I have wronged you!"
Ji Ling was confused by his words. He thought about it carefully two or three times before he realized the meaning.
