After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 247
As night fell, it enveloped the entire majestic imperial city, but in the inhabited palaces, the lights were still brilliant, almost illuminating half of the sky.

Ruan Yuyi picked out the last candle lamp in the inner room, and the inner room fell into darkness.

She groped to the side of the bed under the thin moonlight.

It was still early, and she was indeed not sleepy yet, but whether it was playing nets, wiping dominoes or anything else, she was a little lacking in interest, so she had to go to bed as soon as possible to let herself be less cranky.

He was half kneeling on the quilt, and when he was about to pull back the brocade quilt, there was a sound of raising the soft curtain behind him, followed by steady footsteps, it was obviously not Mu Xiang.

She was immersed in the darkness, without turning around, maintaining her original movements.

Jiang Huaiyang hugged her behind him, his voice was infiltrated by the moonlight, and it seemed extremely soft, "What did you do during the day, why did you feel sleepy so early tonight?"

His scorching breath sprayed on the back of her neck, as if to melt her.

She suddenly felt so wronged.

Unspeakable grievance.

She turned around and embraced him, with the tip of her nose against his shoulder and neck, all she could smell was the familiar fragrance.She arched her head, as if she wanted to melt herself into it.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

She was silent for a while, then replied in a low voice, "I thought you wouldn't come."

Jiang Huaiyang didn't care about the question of reference, and after thinking about it, he guessed the reason, "But what did someone tell you?" He held her face in his hands, asking her to raise her head and look at him.

The moonlight was clearly very weak, but when it fell into her eyes, it looked like a high-quality oriental pearl, radiant and brilliant.

She didn't make a sound, which was actually her acquiescence.

He sighed secretly, kissed lightly as if comforting, while rubbing his ears and temples together, he rubbed his hands to change into the dress she was wearing outside.He said, he took her out to relax.

She was a little ashamed of the gaffe just now, and her face was flushed under the darkness, so she cooperated extraordinarily.After changing her clothes, she still asked her doubts, "But the concubine is restraining her feet, how can she leave the palace?"

His voice was soft and careless, "Then it will be quiet, so that no one else will know."

He fiddled with her earlobe again and again, making it hot, and it seemed that even the words were a little ambiguous, as if they were doing something immoral.

The little lady turned her face away, avoiding his burning fingertips.

His eyes darkened.Although the feet were banned to the outside world, it was only to conceal people's eyes and ears, so as not to be criticized. What he banned was the feet of idlers, not hers. If she wanted to go out, no guards outside the palace would stop her.
.
Ruan Yuyi grabbed his sleeve and followed him without asking where he was going.

She knew that after another corner, there was the Huxin Pavilion.There are two or three rockeries dotted nearby, and a living water flows through the gaps between the mountains, dissolving the soup and flowing out of the palace.

The man beside him was tall and tall, more than a head taller than her, and even his shadow was longer than hers.She lowered her head and watched intently until the shadow melted into the shadow of the temple and disappeared.

She just looked up.

There were bits of light in her eyes.

Those are lotus lanterns, floating on the stream, or gathered, or scattered, scattered along the stream all the way to the distance, like a river of lights, shining brightly in the dark night, splendid and grand.

Ruan Yuyi looked sideways at the person beside her, and saw that his eyes also reflected the brilliance of the lotus lantern.

The hand holding his sleeve tightened slightly.She puffed her cheeks, lowered her eyes, and also the light in them.He can't disturb her mind like this, she doesn't want to be tempted.

She was afraid that she would be trapped in it, that she would be doomed, she was terrified.

His voice came from beside him, "This can be regarded as a river lantern for the Lantern Festival." Shangyuan worshiped the gods and ancestors, and the capital was also lively. He was busy with political affairs, so he never took her to let the river lantern go.

Wen Zhi presented pen and ink and two brand new lotus lanterns.

She took it and wrote a prayer on one of them. The handwriting is beautiful, just like her own.The above writings are nothing more than wishes for the family to be safe and happy. They are ordinary, but they are indeed what she wishes in her heart.

Looking sideways, there was no writing on Jiang Huaiyang's lamp.

"Your Majesty, don't you have anything to write?" There should always be one, such as the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people, and the well-being of the family.

He shook his head slightly, as an answer to her question, and asked Wen Zhi to put away the used pen and ink.It's not that he really has no wishes, but he can't let the little lady know, for fear of pushing people away.

As for the others, it is boring to write some old-fashioned words, so it is better to leave them empty.

He does not believe in God, but only in himself.If the gods really existed, they would not be willing to grant the wish of such an ungodly person.

The stretches of river lanterns on the creek are getting farther and farther away, they put the ones in their hands into the creek, and it just merges into the end, and the soup flows away together, and the surroundings become dark again, leaving only the light of the palace lantern in Wen Zhi’s hand .

Just at this moment, there were faint footsteps behind him, accompanied by the woman's thin voice, from far to near.

She froze slightly and looked at him for help.

People who are supposed to be confined in the palace appear in front of people at night, if people see them, wouldn't they be criticized by others.If it is said that His Majesty agreed, the power of the decree will inevitably be doubted.

In those peach-blossom eyes, she saw a thousand-foot secluded lake, which was so dark that it was frightening.

Xu Shi noticed the palace lantern here, the conversation paused, and the footsteps gradually approached.

Her heart tightened slightly, and she turned her back to the visitor.Jiang Huaiyang pulled the cloak with one hand, wrapped most of the little lady's body in it, and pressed the back of her head with one hand to ensure that no one could see her face.

She lowered her eyes, her eyes fell on the open space behind him, her mind was in a mess.

Wearing a silver-red lily dress, Bai Hua walked in slowly. Seeing a woman in the arms of the new emperor, she was stunned for a moment, then bowed and saluted, "I've seen Your Majesty."

Her rules were taught by the Empress Dowager's monograph, that is, the one who taught Bai Zhiqi before, so every move gradually has the shadow of Bai Zhiqi, which is a kind of soft and flattering charm.

"It's getting dark, why is Your Majesty here?" She struggled to find a topic.

Most of his attention was focused on the tenderness in his arms, and the bursts of fragrance wafting from her hair, and he didn't pay attention to what the visitor said, so he hummed copiously.

But this sound was enough to make Bai Hua's face blush.

His voice was low and rambling, piercing directly into her ears, and a tingling feeling spread all over her body.I used to follow Li Meiren's side, and I didn't see her a few times, but today I saw her, as if I was in a dream.

What Bai Hua thought had nothing to do with Ruan Yuyi, she leaned against his arms, kept silent, and did not dare to move easily, for fear of being recognized by others.

The fragrance from his body seemed to be dyed on her body as well, and she could clearly feel that there was a strong arm around her waist.He also felt her nervousness, and secretly pinched her waist as if teasing.

Her body softened, and she was dragged again.

"Who is this sister? Why is she hiding from no one?"
