Chapter 123 Lin Zhaoyue, it seems that you haven't learned enough from the last lesson
His hoarse voice rang out in the huge bedroom. The man's usually low and steady voice was now trembling noticeably.
The dim candlelight lengthened the two people's figures, and Xiao Yun had a splitting headache.
The confused and blurry dream was like a steel needle stirring deeply in his mind, making Xiao Yan unable to distinguish whether it was a dream or reality.
In his dreams, there was always a slim girl, but her face seemed to be covered by fog. No matter how hard he tried, he could not see the girl's appearance clearly.
Xiao Yan hugged the delicate girl tightly in his arms, smelling the pleasant lemon scent on her body, and his confused mood gradually calmed down.
Some fragmentary images from my dream just now automatically appeared in my mind.
In the dim and simple study, a girl in pure white pajamas stood with her hands on her hips and said angrily:
"Xiao Yan, it's already five o'clock in the morning. It will be dawn soon. You are not allowed to read official documents anymore. Go to bed right now."
The man sitting at the desk heard this and a smile flashed across his dark eyes, which were always misty.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he really closed the document in his hand, stood up and walked towards her, stretched out his hand and picked her up horizontally:
"Does the lady want to be a husband?"
The girl was angry and humiliated:
"Who misses you? I don't miss you!"
"Well, my wife doesn't miss me, but my husband misses me the most. It's late at night, my wife and husband should work hard together..."
"Xiao Yan, you are being a hooligan again..."
Laying down on the bed, the girl's slender white hands were held by him, her palm-sized face was sunken in her black hair, and she was tormented by him so much that she whimpered like a cat.
The images were chaotic and her voice was all I could hear.
——Husband, it hurts!
——Xiao Yan, from today on, you are not allowed to enter the master bedroom.
——Xiao Yan, do you really want to take her back? She clearly doesn't want you anymore.
——Xiao Ying, don’t you have anything to explain to me?
——Xiao Yan, the relationship between three people is too tiring. I don’t want to like you anymore.
——Xiao Yan, don’t…
——Xiao Yan, I don’t want you anymore…
……
It was clearly just a dream, but the dull pain in my heart was extremely real.
The candlelight flickered, and the man was like a wooden sculpture, holding her motionlessly.
Lin Zhaoyue was held in his arms, her whole body tense.
Did he just call himself "I"?
This was clearly the name he changed to after he ascended the throne in his previous life. He is just a prince now, how could he possibly call himself "I"?
What did he dream about?
Or is he back too?
Moreover, in this life, he seldom called her Zhao Zhao, and when he did, it was always as a threat.
Lin Zhaoyue didn't dare to move, let alone make a sound, for fear that he would find out.
There was a faint fishy smell in the air. Before Lin Zhaoyue realized what it was, the man had let go of her, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
"Pass the water."
When the maid on night watch heard Xiao Yan's instructions, she hurried to bring hot water.
Ever since Lin Zhaoyue stayed overnight in the prince's bedroom, the maids on night watch always kept hot water ready.
Soon, the sound of water splashing could be heard in the bathroom.
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes were fixed on the position where Xiao Yun had just been. She realized it belatedly and her cheeks turned red.
She got up and went to the closet, and brought back a new quilt.
I forced myself to close my eyes, for fear that it would be awkward for both of us when Xiao Yan came out of the shower.
He was apparently fine a few days ago. I don't know what happened to him tonight.
Xiao Yan leaned in the bathtub, rubbing his swollen and aching brow.
Who is the girl in the dream?
Why couldn't he see her appearance clearly? She looked a bit like Lin Zhaoyue, but not like her.
It was clearly just a dream, but he felt like it was something that had really happened.
In his dream, what he could clearly remember was the crudely carved lotus-shaped emerald jade pendant around the girl's waist.
I don’t know how long Xiao Yan washed, but just when Lin Zhaoyue was drowsy, he pulled her out again.
"Get up and help me dry my hair."
As he spoke, a clean handkerchief covered her face.
Being woken up in the middle of sleep, Lin Zhaoyue’s resentment was heavier than a ghost.
"Can't you just ask your maid to clean your hair?"
The displeasure on her face was clear.
"Lin Zhaoyue, don't forget that you are my personal maid."
Lin Zhaoyue wanted to lose her temper, but she gritted her teeth and held back.
She got up and walked to Xiao Yan wearing soft satin shoes.
She grabbed his wet hair and wrapped it with a handkerchief as if to vent her anger.
Xiao Yan's hair was pulled by her and it hurt a little. Through the bronze mirror, he looked at the girl who kept yawning behind him, raised his thin lips slightly, and said:
"Do you have a jade pendant with a green lotus flower?"
A green lotus jade pendant?
Lin Zhaoyue was slightly startled, then said expressionlessly:
"No."
In her previous life, he gave her this jade pendant after they got married. Although the style was not good-looking and the workmanship was rough, she was still very happy and couldn't put it down.
Later, I learned from Liu Yiyi that he bought the jade pendant casually at a small stall. He had given Liu Yiyi an expensive head ornament at that time, and he was afraid that she would feel aggrieved and come to bother him again, so he gave her the broken jade pendant to shut her up.
"Really not?"
"No, why would I wear a lotus jade pendant? It sounds so ugly."
When Xiao Yan heard Lin Zhaoyue say that she was ugly, he didn't know why he felt a little uncomfortable.
He didn't know where this discomfort came from.
After wiping for a long time, when Xiao Yan's black hair was dry, Lin Zhaoyue threw the handkerchief in her hand into his and went to bed.
Xiao Yan folded the handkerchief in his hand and then went to bed.
Lin Zhaoyue was obviously still angry about him waking her up just now, and she held the back of her head against him.
She also changed the quilt.
Xiao Yan curled his thin lips slightly, with a teasing intention. He lifted the quilt and directly held the person in his arms.
"You changed the quilt? What did you see just now?"
Xiao Wei felt the person in his arms stiffen and then struggle.
"let me go!"
Who knows if he will go wild in a moment.
In his previous life, Xiao Yan looked abstinent and proper from the outside.
He is a hooligan in bed and never stops demanding.
With Lin Zhaoyue's action, Xiao Yun's bath was in vain.
His Adam's apple slightly raised, his voice hoarse:
"Lin Zhaoyue, if you move again, I can't guarantee what I will do to you later."
As he said this, he pinched her waist and pressed it.
rogue!
Lin Zhaoyue lowered her voice and roared:
"You rascal, you're crazy!"
Although she cursed fiercely, she didn't dare to move.
Lin Zhaoyue thought she would not be able to sleep, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep without knowing when.
When she woke up, Xiao Yan had already gone to court.
The maid remembered the prince's words and made sure Lin Zhaoyue had breakfast.
So when she saw her wake up, Yuanyuan quickly asked someone to bring in food.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at the sumptuous breakfast and had no appetite at all:
"I'm not hungry and don't want to eat. Please leave!"
When Yuanyuan heard Lin Zhaoyue's words, she became anxious:
"Miss Lin, the prince has ordered us to watch over her breakfast, otherwise we will be punished.
Skipping breakfast is bad for your health, girl, at least eat a few bites before going to bed."
Seeing the pleading look in Yuanyuan's eyes, Lin Zhaoyue had no intention of making things difficult for her, so she got up, washed up, and ate a few bites.
When she finished eating and wanted to catch up on some sleep, she heard a commotion outside.
Her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.
Yuanyuan looked at Lin Zhaoyue and explained:
"It should be Miss Liu who has moved in. Go to sleep peacefully, Miss. I'll go out and ask them to keep the noise down."
Before leaving, Yuanyuan seemed to be afraid that Lin Zhaoyue would be sad, and said:
"Even if Miss Liu moves in, don't worry, Miss. His Royal Highness still cares about Miss Lin. I have seen all this clearly."
Xiao Yan cares about her?
Are you telling lies with open eyes?
Besides, she didn't care who Xiao Yan cared about.
After Yuanyuan went out and negotiated with them, the noise became much quieter.
Lin Zhaoyue pulled the quilt over her and prepared to go to sleep.
When Liu Yiyi heard Yuanyuan say that Lin Zhaoyue was still sleeping, she looked at the prince's bedroom with a hint of viciousness and clenched her fists.
A hostile emotion flashed across her face, and Liu Yiyi said softly:
"Did Sister Yue just get up to have breakfast?"
Yuanyuan didn't know what Liu Yiyi's intention was in asking this, but seeing that Miss Liu had a gentle face, she must be someone who was easy to get along with, so she said:
"My girl has already had breakfast."
Liu Yiyi said with an "oh" and said softly:
"Sister Yue is the elder sister. As the younger sister, since I have come to the East Palace, I should go and say hello to her. This is in accordance with etiquette."
"But my girl is resting now..."
Yuanyuan failed to stop her. Lin Zhaoyue had just been quiet for a while when she heard a commotion coming from outside the door.
"Miss Liu, you really can't go in. My girl is resting now!"
"I just came here to pay my respects. Sister Yue won't blame me."
As he spoke, he brushed away Yuanyuan's hand and went straight into the prince's bedroom.
A hint of annoyance flashed across Lin Zhaoyue's eyes. She lifted the quilt and half leaned on the bed.
I don’t know what Liu Yiyi is going to do next.
After entering the house, Liu Yiyi looked at Lin Zhaoyue, who was sitting on the prince's bed in her pajamas, and the surging jealousy in her heart could hardly be concealed.
"Miss, I'm sorry. It was Yuanyuan who failed to stop Miss Liu..."
Lin Zhaoyue waved her hand and said:
"It's okay, go down!"
As she spoke, Lin Zhaoyue looked at Liu Yiyi.
When Lin Zhaoyue looked over, Liu Yiyi smiled and said:
"Sister Yue, Yiyi is here to pay her respects to you. Yiyi will also live in the East Palace from now on, so we will have a companion."
Lin Zhaoyue didn't want to pretend with her, she was very tired:
"Liu Yiyi, there are only two of us here. Are you still pretending that you don't feel tired?"
"It seems that no matter what Yiyi does, it's all fake in front of her sister."
Liu Yiyi put away the smile on her face, looked at her and said:
"Lin Zhaoyue, you don't think that Brother Ying lets you climb into his bed because he cares about you!
You are just a toy that Brother Ying can summon and dismiss at will, and you are even imprisoned in the East Palace. Tsk tsk, how pitiful."
Liu Yiyi thought she would see Lin Zhaoyue's embarrassed expression, but she just looked at her calmly and then smiled:
"Liu Yiyi, you are very jealous!"
"Why am I jealous? Lin Zhaoyue, don't flatter yourself."
"You're jealous that I can make the prince care so much without any effort!
House arrest? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just too concerned about me and is afraid that I will run away. You made such a fuss last time and I splashed tea on you and almost disfigured you. Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did anything to me?"
Lin Zhaoyue made up a lot of nonsense and successfully saw Liu Yiyi's face change from black to blue, and from blue to white.
"Liu Yiyi, admit it! The prince doesn't care about you at all!"
Liu Yiyi clenched her fists, wishing she could kill her.
If it weren't for that person's order, she would have died a thousand times.
Liu Yiyi's expression was very ugly. She looked at Lin Zhaoyue and gritted her teeth and said:
"Lin Zhaoyue, it seems that you haven't suffered enough from the last lesson."
As she spoke, her face showed a ferocious and murderous expression:
"Lin Zhaoyue, just wait and see! Who does Brother Ying care about..."
……
As soon as Xiao Yan came out of court, he was called over by the nanny beside the queen.
Kunning Palace.
When Xiao Yan arrived, the Queen was painting. Seeing him, she looked up and said:
"Ying'er, you're here."
"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."
Xiao Yun bowed and saluted.
"We are the only ones here, mother and son. No need to be polite."
As she spoke, the queen smiled and waved at him, saying:
"Mother has just finished a painting. I came to see how it went."
Xiao Yan walked over and when he saw the shapeless figure on the drawing paper that he didn't know whether it was a plum blossom or a peach blossom, Xiao Yan: ...
“Is this peach blossom?”
Queen: "...Can't you see? What Queen Mother painted is plum blossoms!"
Xiao Yan: "Mother, you paint very well. Let's let the painter do it for us next time!"
Queen: "... am I drawing that badly?"
Seeing her disappointed, Xiao Yan said against his will:
"Compared to the last time, the Queen Mother painted much better this time."
Upon hearing this, the Queen nodded with satisfaction and continued:
"Ying'er, you have beautiful handwriting. You can write a couplet for your mother here: The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."
Xiao Yan took the pen from the queen and wrote these words fluently.
After writing, the queen pointed to a blank space and said:
"Add your name here."
Xiao Yan did not doubt it and wrote down his name.
The Queen looked at the dark circles under Xiao Yun's eyes and said jokingly:
"What's the matter? Could it be that my son was so excited that he didn't sleep all night because he was going to pick up Miss Liu to go to the East Palace today?"
Xiao Yan was helpless:
"Mother~"
He didn't think about Liu Yiyi at all last night, he was forced to do so by someone.
"What? Are you shy?"
"Mother, please stop making fun of me."
The Queen looked at him meaningfully and said:
"As expected, a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother! But Miss Liu is a woman after all. If she moves into the East Palace without any status, she may be criticized.
Since the second Miss Lin is no longer around, if Ying'er really likes Miss Liu, your mother can talk to your father. Miss Liu is a person of good character, gentle and virtuous, so it might not be a bad idea for her to be the Crown Princess.
Compared to the marriage, the Queen Mother still cares more about the happiness of her son."
The kindness in the queen's eyes was genuine. Xiao Yan looked at her and said:
"Thank you for your concern, mother. I will handle this matter myself."
The Queen did not force it and said:
"Okay, if you want to handle it yourself, then do it yourself! But if you can't handle it, remember that you still have mother behind you. She will always be your backer."
Xiao Yan felt warm in his heart and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's eat first. Mother personally cooked many of your favorite dishes today. Come and have dinner with her."
The two men arrived at the dining room, where several sticks of incense were lit.
After Xiao Yan smelled it for a while, he felt tired.
He vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but the man had already fallen down.
"Ying'er, what's wrong with you?"
The Queen called out to him anxiously. After confirming that Xiao Yan had no reaction, she stood up and said calmly:
"Someone is fainting, come out!"
