"Your Majesty, what did you say?"
Overwhelmed by surprise, Ling Shan even forgot the proper honorifics for a moment.
But it sounded quite natural to Jun Wuyuan, and he couldn't help curving his lips.
In front of the bronze mirror, there was a face as delicate as a peach blossom. At this moment, the lips were slightly parted, looking innocent and adorable.
Jun Wuyuan stood behind Ling Shan, his arms affectionately encircling her.
The reflection in the bronze mirror soon changed. One was tall and the other petite, their intimate posture exuding boundless tenderness.
"Are you dazed already? This trip to Liangzhou is an incognito inspection. We, a husband - and - wife couple, will go to Liangzhou to do business with our servants. Have you heard clearly, my wife?"
Go to Liangzhou?
Husband and wife?
Wife?!
These words made Ling Shan feel in a daze. It seemed that a crack had opened in her long - sealed heart, revealing a hint of sweet air.
"Your Majesty, are you really taking me with you?"
In the bronze mirror, the charming woman's bright, shining eyes suddenly sparkled with a dazzling light, looking extremely charming.
Jun Wuyuan saw it in his eyes and it went straight to his heart. A tingly feeling welled up, and he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her cheek.
"Of course. You're my only precious darling and my good wife. If I don't take you, who else should I take?"
Ling Shan was stunned.
Not because of that stealing - a - kiss - like peck, but because of Jun Wuyuan's sweet words that seemed to come out of the blue.
She had heard Jun Wuyuan say soft words before, but most of them were said in bed during their intimate moments.
It was rare to see him so full of sweet words that made one couldn't help but feel happy.
Especially since waking up this morning, his sweet talk had even brightened her mood.
Ling Shan couldn't help but mutter in her heart: What is he up to this time?
Could it be that he did something "wrong" last night and now he's using his glib tongue to coax her?
Ling Shan couldn't help but give him a pouty look in the bronze mirror and pouted her lips:
"Then this humble wife thanks her husband for his love. It's my great honor!"
Jun Wuyuan couldn't help but smile in his heart. He leaned over again and kissed her pouting lips.
"Our Shan Shan is so adorable. How can I not love and cherish her well?"
As he said, Jun Wuyuan, with a smile in his eyes, placed his hands on the dressing table and leaned over Ling Shan's back, their bodies intimately close.
The warm breath, carrying a strong masculine scent and the unique fragrance of ambergris, all wafted onto Ling Shan's face.
Her extremely charming face soon blushed like rosy clouds, looking even more charming.
"A Yuan—"
Ling Shan's cheeks were flushed, and her almond - shaped eyes were as charming as if filled with water.
"I've often heard that loving civilian couples will draw eyebrows and dress up in front of the mirror in the morning. The morning light is just right today. How about I draw your eyebrows for you, my wife?"
Ling Shan: "..."
The first thing that popped into her mind was the word "refuse".
Are you kidding!
Jun Wuyuan's hands were used for pulling bows and shooting arrows, for writing and painting. How could they be used for drawing eyebrows and dressing up?
Just thinking about it, Ling Shan's heart was filled with refusal!
Unfortunately, Jun Wuyuan seemed very enthusiastic.
Ling Shan opened and closed her mouth several times but finally didn't disturb his rare pleasure in the boudoir. She had a feeling of resigning herself to fate.
Through the bronze mirror, her eyes unconsciously fell on his very serious and gentle face.
His eyelashes... were really long.
His originally gentle and alluring peach - blossom eyes drooped slightly, looking serious and charming, even more captivating.
His lips were thin and soft.
He...
The corner of Jun Wuyuan's lips curved slightly, as if with a hint of pride.
Ling Shan blinked her eyes. It seemed as if she could see that smug puppy wagging its tail, extremely proud.
She muttered in her heart with a bit of disgust, but the corner of her lips couldn't help but curl up slowly.
In this morning in the room filled with a charming and steamy atmosphere, the man and woman drawing eyebrows and looking at each other in front of the mirror seemed to have something quietly changing.
On this ordinary morning, the noble emperor and his concubine were as tender and affectionate as an ordinary couple.
Ling Shan found that she really liked this kind of close - knit relationship filled with the simple pleasures of life.
It's not that she didn't like the close relationship when they were in their noble positions.
It's just that this kind of closeness allowed her to briefly forget about their identities and rules and be herself truly.
As time passed bit by bit, Ling Shan silently closed her eyes and could feel those gentle and cautious movements.
Every movement revealed undisguised love and cherishment.
Ling Shan suspected that it wasn't just an illusion.
How could Jun Wuyuan have suddenly become so enlightened after just one night's sleep?
Just as Ling Shan was feeling puzzled, Jun Wuyuan confidently withdrew his hand.
"Shan Shan, take a look and see if you're satisfied?"
Ling Shan's eyelids trembled. After some mental preparation, she opened her eyes and looked over.
Huh?
In the bronze mirror, the thick, black and rough eyebrows like those of Crayon Shin - chan that Ling Shan had imagined didn't appear.
Instead, the dark eyebrows he had drawn were as hazy and graceful as the mist on the distant mountains. In the bronze mirror, her face inexplicably had a kind of beauty of the southern water towns.
Ling Shan was stunned.
This...
Was it really drawn by Jun Wuyuan?
Ling Shan couldn't believe it at all.
Her round, black and shiny almond - shaped eyes kept rolling, moving from his eyebrows to his long and strong hands.
She stared at him with a look of surprise and joy in her eyes.
Jun Wuyuan's chest was still pressed against Ling Shan's back, and the corner of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
"Do you like your husband's craftsmanship?"
The proud voice floated into Ling Shan's ears. Without even looking back, she could guess the pride in someone's eyes and on his face.
"A Yuan, is this the first time you've drawn a young lady's eyebrows?"
Otherwise, how could you be so skillful?
Jun Wuyuan was stunned. First, he was slightly taken aback, and then he looked at Ling Shan with a look of "you heartless person".
His proud eyebrows drooped, and his lips drooped too. He looked extremely pitiful.
Ling Shan: "..."
"A Yuan, why don't you say a word? Is there something you can't tell me?"
Ling Shan's eyes were filled with tears, and she bit her lips and looked back at Jun Wuyuan as if she was very hurt.
Jun Wuyuan: "..."
"Absolutely not!"
The droopy look on Jun Wuyuan's face immediately disappeared. He quickly leaned over and coaxed her softly:
"Shan Shan, don't think too much. This is the first time, really. How could I have other young ladies?
You're the only one, Shan Shan. Maybe I'm just naturally gifted, so I'm so good at it. It seems that our Shan Shan really likes it?"
By the end of his coaxing, Jun Wuyuan's voice couldn't help but take on a bit of pride again. Obviously, he was very pleased with Ling Shan's liking.
Ling Shan: "I like it. A Yuan's craftsmanship is really good."
"I'm glad you like it, Shan Shan. Then from now on, I'll draw your eyebrows and dress you up every day!"
Jun Wuyuan leaned over and kissed Ling Shan's cheek. His eyes were full of eager smiles.
He picked up the comb and gently combed her hair...
Ouch—
