What on earth is this place?
What's wrong with those in front of the imperial court? Don't they think I'm in a good mood today? How dare they be so bold as to bring me to look at these strange things...
Wait, something seems amiss.
Jun Wuyuan had only taken a cursory glance through the silk curtain before. But now, he lifted a corner of it and took a closer look.
With a rather complicated expression, he quickly turned his eyes to the fair and beautiful face in his arms and stared intently.
He realized that those things... no, those people outside were actually the concubines in the harem.
But...
Jun Wuyuan was a bit confused. He had only been out of the palace for a day. How had the concubines in the harem ended up in such a state?
Or was this the current popular makeup style in the harem that would scare the emperor like him to death?
Thankfully, the little fool's face looked clean.
Otherwise, he reckoned he really would have couldn't help chopping off her head.
Jun Wuyuan was thinking absent - mindedly when his fingertips unconsciously touched her face.
The touch was extremely pleasant, and his attention was quickly drawn to her smooth and fair face.
Well, the little fool's face was more pleasing to the eye.
Ling Shan: "..."
Should she really be grateful for having a face that made the tyrant feel comfortable?
As soon as the unique aura of the tyrant bore down on her, Ling Shan woke up.
She was already thinking in her head whether she should take the opportunity to get revenge and give this tyrant a good whack.
However, unexpectedly, before she could figure out how to hit him more satisfyingly and secretly, the tyrant actually fled?
Ling Shan couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart at that moment.
But she couldn't help muttering in her heart: Did the tyrant want to kiss her just now?
Tsk, a lecherous guy.
Just because she was beautiful, kind - hearted, and hopelessly in love with him, the heart that threatened to chop off her head was gradually forgetting its original intention, wasn't it?
Humph, just wait, see if I don't get you under my thumb.
"Your Majesty... don't go..."
As if feeling the warmth on her face, Ling Shan greedily rubbed her face against it.
Jun Wuyuan's heart softened instantly.
A ripple passed through his eyes, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly as he calmly enjoyed the little maid's loving dependence.
Tsk.
He knew it. This little fool was really head - over - heels in love with him.
Even in her sleep, she had to stick to him. She really wouldn't allow him to even glance at others.
Ling Shan: "..."
You're really so narcissistic.
However, for the sake of her plan to capture the tyrant, she prayed to the heavens to make him even more narcissistic.
"Your Majesty?"
Just as Jun Wuyuan was being cocky, Ling Shan just happened to wake up.
A pair of almond - shaped eyes filled with a watery look stared at him somewhat dazedly.
Then, as if she had come to her senses, her already rosy face was now covered with a blush, looking extremely charming.
Her long and thick eyelashes fluttered, covering the shy look in her eyes. Each flutter seemed to flutter into his heart.
The imperial carriage fell silent for a moment, and a secret and ambiguous atmosphere gradually spread.
The shy rose was quietly blooming, arousing people's emotions and making them want to break free from the cage.
[The little fool's lips seem so soft...]
I want to taste...
Ling Shan's eyes flashed, and suddenly, enduring her shyness, she looked straight into Jun Wuyuan's eyes.
Jun Wuyuan: "..."
[What the hell? Is this little fool going to kiss me forcefully?]
It really scared him.
Ling Shan blinked shyly, but sneered in her heart: Kiss him forcefully?
She just wanted to break the spell. How could the tyrant be allowed to kiss her whenever he wanted?
The unattainable is always restless.
The best way to win someone's heart is to be elusive, to keep him hanging.
Keep him itching with desire and let him be completely immersed in the sweet net she had carefully woven.
If one day, Ling Shan slapped Jun Wuyuan, the tyrant would have to first worry about whether her hand hurt.
Only then could this heart - winning plan be considered a complete success.
Thump!
Jun Wuyuan didn't know if he was annoyed and ashamed, but he raised his hand and knocked hard on Ling Shan's forehead.
His tone was slightly cold: "Take a good look outside and then think about whether you want to seduce me."
[That old hag outside must be fuming with anger. This little fool is still clinging to me so affectionately. Isn't she afraid that the old hag will tear her apart?]
Ling Shan: "..."
What?
The Queen Mother was actually still waiting outside?
That was simply... so satisfying.
Thinking that she had become an unlucky person forced to die as soon as she was reborn, she felt happy whenever she heard that the Queen Mother was in trouble.
Originally, Ling Shan didn't want to admit to the slander of seduction, but now she even wished to immediately confirm this "crime".
"Your Majesty, this servant doesn't dare to look."
Ling Shan raised her delicate little face and looked up at Jun Wuyuan pitifully, her fair fingers clutching his robe.
"Your Majesty, this servant is scared. Will the Queen Mother think that this servant is a seductress who has bewitched Your Majesty in the imperial carriage... The Queen Mother will kill this servant. I'm so scared~"
Jun Wuyuan: "..."
In her glistening eyes, he clearly saw the softness that melted the ice in his heart.
[Tsk, if you little fool were really afraid of the old hag, you wouldn't have wisely sided with me. What's there to be afraid of?]
Ling Shan: "..."
Ling Shan rolled her eyes silently in her heart. She softly got closer, and her little hand tentatively climbed onto his neck.
Her little head also shyly leaned on Jun Wuyuan's shoulder, and her soft and sweet breath wafted over.
Jun Wuyuan's eyes darkened instantly, and his body stiffened.
Countless images flashed through his mind, including the feasibility of doing something in the imperial carriage. But in the end, he suppressed them.
Ling Shan couldn't help but tremble in her heart. She didn't know whether to retract the hand around Jun Wuyuan or not.
This tyrant was so beastly?
Had he never had a good thing before?
He was so crazy as to have such thoughts in the imperial carriage. He was simply inhumane!
"Your Majesty?"
The Queen Mother couldn't bear it any longer. With a gloomy face, she was annoyed with everyone. She had even been left in the sun by that bastard son who was not fully grown.
This was simply a great humiliation in the glorious life of the Queen Mother!
She was still holding back her anger from the incident by the Luoshui River and couldn't openly pursue it. But now, Jun Wuyuan actually made her, the great Queen Mother of the Yan Dynasty, wait under the scorching sun.
This just gave her, as his legitimate mother, an excuse to have a good outburst and let him know that in this imperial palace, it was not his turn to act arrogantly!
Nanny Dou walked up seriously. Ignoring Liang Jiusi's blocking gesture, she said in a proper manner:
"The Queen Mother is not feeling well, and the concubines in the harem are waiting to welcome Your Majesty. Please show mercy."
[If she's not feeling well, go find a royal doctor. I'm not a miracle - worker. What's there to show mercy for (rolling eyes)]
Ling Shan: "..."
She seemed to accidentally see an angry little bird?
