Who is she pining for?
Such narcissism!
Seeing him glorify himself, Ji Feiyu openly showed her disdain.
Yong Yaxuan wasn't annoyed. Instead, he put his arm around Ji Feiyu, looked down at the rabbit in her arms, and said, "This little white rabbit is so adorable. I sent it to you in case you got bored. I didn't expect you to carry it with you every day. Does this mean you've been thinking about me every day?"
Who's thinking about him! Blushing, Ji Feiyu struggled to break free and leave, but he hugged her tightly. After struggling for a while, she finally had no choice but to kneel down with him. She said painfully, "Your servant has behaved improperly and seen someone she shouldn't have. Please stop teasing me, Your Majesty, and punish me severely!"
He stared at Ji Feiyu in silence, then grabbed her hand to help her up. He wondered, "I didn't say I'd punish you. I just haven't seen you for a few days and miss you so much."
This guy! Ji Feiyu stared at him, speechless. She had no choice but to swallow her frustration. He seemed to know she was a bit aggrieved, so he put his arm around her and slowly walked out of the pavilion.
"I'll spend the whole day with you today. Nothing and no one can disturb us. How about that?"
Ji Feiyu nodded happily.
The flowers and grass in the garden were the same as before, but in an instant, they seemed full of vitality. Ji Feiyu walked with him for a while. When she felt more at ease, she remembered the previous question. "By the way, Your Majesty, why do you have time to come to this garden party today? Didn't you say you wouldn't come when I invited you before?"
"I just finished my work and saw that it was still early, so I came to see you."
"You should have sent someone to inform me in advance. I could have shown you around."
"Actually, I've been here for a while." After saying that, Yong Yaxuan stole a glance at her expression.
"When did you arrive? Have you walked around already?" Ji Feiyu didn't show much reaction.
He couldn't help smiling and said, "Actually, I've been here since you were talking about the flowers and grass with Minister Lin. I told Lin Zhiran not to tell you, so I know everything you and Minister Lin said. I don't mind."
Ji Feiyu was speechless again. What a sly fox! He just wanted to see if she would do anything out of line, right?
Yong Yaxuan didn't notice Ji Feiyu's expression. He picked a flower and put it in her hair. He smiled softly and said, "It seems that sometimes these flowers and grass are quite lovely."
After saying that, he took her hand and walked forward, leaving her not knowing whether to be shy or angry.
Sure enough, if there's anyone in the world who can control Ji Feiyu, it's the Emperor. Not because of his power, but because of his shrewdness.
The two walked around the garden party and met Concubine Zhen and Concubine Xin coming together.
The two concubines were about to kneel and salute when they saw the Emperor, but he stopped them. "You two don't need to salute. Why are you out walking around instead of resting in your palaces and taking care of your unborn babies?"
Concubine Xin coquettishly said, "Thanks to Her Majesty the Queen, we can have this garden party in the palace. It would be a pity if Your Majesty didn't let your servant come out for such an interesting event."
Concubine Zhen also said, "Your Majesty, going out for a walk and having a good mood is also good for taking care of the unborn baby. Under Her Majesty the Queen's governance, the harem is peaceful. There won't be any big problems."
The Emperor then said, "You keep praising the Queen. Is the Queen really that good?"
Ji Feiyu coughed lightly.
Concubine Xin and Concubine Zhen laughed.
Concubine Xin said, "Her Majesty the Queen is of course extremely good. Your Majesty, don't ask such a question again."
The Emperor also laughed. "Then you two can continue walking around. I'm going to take the Queen over there to have a look."
"We bid farewell to Your Majesty," the two concubines said in unison.
After the two concubines walked far away, Yong Yaxuan asked, "Have you ever bullied these two?"
Ji Feiyu wanted to roll her eyes at him. She retorted, "In Your Majesty's eyes, how domineering do you think your servant is?"
Yong Yaxuan pretended to be in deep thought. "I don't know either. I just think you're very domineering towards me."
Ji Feiyu lightly punched Yong Yaxuan in the chest. "Your Majesty, you're so annoying!"
Yong Yaxuan then took her hand and kissed it. "But I like it!"
Ji Feiyu's face turned completely red.
Yong Yaxuan said, "I'll come to pick you up tonight."
"..."
The garden party ended successfully. Everyone in the palace praised the Queen for her wisdom, and Yong Yaxuan was naturally very happy.
A few peaceful days passed like this.
One afternoon, Ji Feiyu's laziness got the better of her again. After lying on the couch every day, she didn't want to get up.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Ji Feiyu was getting lazier and lazier. Sometimes she even skipped meals and just wanted to eat something to relieve the heat.
When Yong Yaxuan heard about this, he took a day off to visit Ji Feiyu. At that time, Ji Feiyu didn't know that he was busy with state affairs. She just thought he had gone to accompany Concubine Xin and Concubine Zhen again.
"Why aren't you eating properly? Are you sick?" His cool hand gently touched Ji Feiyu's forehead. She smiled at him and slowly got up from the bed.
He gently helped Ji Feiyu up and let the head maid in the palace change her clothes.
"If you're not feeling well, call the imperial doctor. Don't just lie in bed all the time. It seems as if I've wronged you," he said with a slight hint of blame in his voice. Seeing this, Ji Feiyu smiled calmly. "Your Majesty knows very well that your servant has always been afraid of the heat. I'm just not used to the sudden hot weather. How could I be uncomfortable?"
"Did you get tired from organizing the garden party a while ago?" Yong Yaxuan felt a bit sorry for her.
Ji Feiyu smiled. "Is your servant that delicate?"
Then he looked at her lovingly as she finished changing her clothes. He waved his hand to let the maids leave. "It's good that you're not uncomfortable. I rarely have time today. I'll spend some time with you."
After saying that, he helped Ji Feiyu to the dressing table, picked up a wooden comb, and said softly, "Haven't I combed your hair for a long time?"
Ji Feiyu nodded. He sighed and stood behind her, looking at the mirror and gently combing her hair.
Ji Feiyu also looked at him tenderly, with a smile on her lips.
After they quelled the war together, she once made a wish to him, which was that he would comb her hair until they were both old.
Now the person was still the same, but the initial youthful arrogance was gone.
He combed her hair very slowly and gently, for fear of hurting Ji Feiyu. The two looked at each other and smiled through the bronze mirror. They both thought of many years ago. His dashing appearance in fine clothes, his unruly pride, her independent elegance, and her eye - catching red dress.
"Do you think I've changed over the years, my dear?" His eyes were full of affection.
Ji Feiyu smiled faintly. "You've changed, and yet you haven't."
Yong Yaxuan smiled bitterly. Looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror, he suddenly stepped forward, picked up an eyebrow pencil from the dressing table, and started to draw her eyebrows. With a determined look in his eyes, he softly recited a line, "The hibiscus cannot rival the beauty's makeup; when the breeze blows in the waterside palace, pearls and jade ornaments give off fragrance."
Ji Feiyu's heart skipped a beat. She looked into his deep, cold - pool - like eyes. He smiled faintly and continued to draw her eyebrows.
Just then, Concubine Zhen suddenly came with her entourage. As soon as the palace servant announced her arrival outside, Concubine Zhen's voice came in. "Sister Queen, your younger sister has come to see you!"
Both Ji Feiyu and Yong Yaxuan looked in the direction of the sound. Through the screen, they saw Concubine Zhen bustling in.
