Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 27 Supplementary Edict
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, casting distorted shadows on the wall.His face was covered with an ethereal red light, making his whole person appear both illusory and real, enchanting and gorgeous.

The bird pecked his finger, and he flicked it lightly. The bird flew back, fluttered a few times in the cage, and then stood still quietly, looking at him, singing again and again.

"Enjoy it so much and do nothing. What else are you not satisfied with?" He said, opening the cage door, "Remember to come back when you're hungry. If you die outside, no one will look for you."

The birds chirped a few times, unable to hide their excitement.It jumped out of the cage happily and flew into the forest at once.

Qin Yunyao patted the birdcage, and the birdcage shook violently from side to side, as if he wanted to follow the bird away.

He grabbed the melon seeds on the plate, peeled them slowly, threw the shells on a special plate for shelling, put the kernels in his mouth, and said while eating: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? This king has such a It looks so good that you can't even move your legs?"

Ji Liangruo was startled, thinking that he hadn't found him, but he had already found out.His words made her cheeks heat up, she walked over with her head down, and kissed herself in the corridor: "I have seen the prince before."

"Come up, come this way," he said.

She agreed, followed the ladder to the corridor, and then walked to him.

He looked up at her, and then looked around, feeling a little troubled: "Where are you kneeling?"

Did this make her kneel?

Ji Liangruo was quite annoyed.She had knelt down by herself several times in the past, and she planned not to kneel this time, but he said this again, can she not kneel?

She took a step back and knelt where she was standing. Anyway, her small body was not big enough to block the way.It was someone who was in a wheelchair and had a table full of things that blocked the corridor.

He smiled, his eyes were bright, and he reached out to lift her chin: "This king has seen many women, and their temperament and appearance are all excellent. You... are not counted."

What he saw was the imperial concubine, the princess, and she was a little maid, so naturally she couldn't compare.

"However..." He smiled slightly, did not continue, bent his head, and held her lips.

She gasped and opened her eyes wide.How...how could he kiss her again?

Why?What is he going to do?If this was his plan to disrupt her, then he...succeeded...

He closed his eyes, sucked her lips gently, and tentatively entered with the tip of his tongue.Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw her panicked and confused eyes, with a flash of anger in them, and he bit her hard.

"Ah—" she cried out in pain, and he had already let her go.

"If you are like this, if you are a beauty, you are just a wooden beauty." He picked up a neatly folded clean veil on the table, and gently pressed his lips.When I took it away, I saw a faint pink color on the veil, and couldn't help being startled.

His eyes turned dark, he clenched the handkerchief tightly, and put it in his sleeve instead of putting it back on the table.She lowered her head, naturally she didn't see it.He raised her chin again, stretched out his hand to scrape her lips, and his fingers were stained with rouge.His hands trembled, and he asked her: "Are you very afraid that the position of the princess will be lost?"

"It's not about the position of the princess! It's the Queen Mother's will."

"The queen mother's will?" He chuckled, twisting his fingers together, and rubbed off the rouge, "The queen mother only said that you will abolish your position if you can't give birth to a child, and you don't want your life! If you are not greedy for this Wealth and wealth, why bother to obey the will?"

She should have guessed that he would say that!Her lips trembled: "Who is not greedy for glory and wealth?"

"But I don't want to touch you! You want a child and you want to keep this position, unless you think of other ways!"

"You—" Did he imply that she was going to steal someone?She let out a breath, "You don't want to touch me? Then you...why do you...over and over again..."

"What?" He looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

But she couldn't say it, she couldn't say the word "kiss me", and it took a long time before she said in a voice like a mosquito: "You have already touched..."

His movements froze, and he stared fixedly at the top of her head, as if he wanted to burn her through.After a while, he moved, reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and began to peel them.

"Stretch out your hand." He said in a bad tone, as if he was becoming angry from embarrassment.

Ji Liangruo raised his head and looked at him, not knowing why, but still stretched out a hand.

He put the peeled melon seeds in her palm: "Two hands together, hold it."

She frowned slightly, and stretched out her hands, holding them together.He threw in the second melon seeds that were sown, then the third, and the fourth...

The setting sun was so low that there was no light, and the night was dark, and there were lamps all around. Mo Yanlai urged him to go to dinner once, but he never moved, and kept peeling melon seeds until her palms were full and piled up into a pile of hills , he clapped his hands and asked Mo Yan to push him to dinner.

Before leaving, he said to her: "If I don't speak up personally, you must not get up, and don't drop this sunflower seed on the ground."

Ji Liangruo's body trembled, his eyes fixed on Guaziren, feeling a little wronged in his heart.

After he left, two servant girls came and removed the low table and the tea and fruits left in the corridor.They swept the floor, but not around her.A servant girl knelt down beside her, took a rag to wipe off the area around her that hadn't been swept, accidentally touched the corner of her skirt, looked up at her, saw that she didn't respond, and continued.

Qin Yunyao got up early, saw Ji Liangruo still kneeling there in the same posture as yesterday, and ordered Mo Yan to push himself to her side.She was covered in dew, almost drenched.

She didn't move, as if she didn't notice his arrival.Suddenly, a melon seed fell on the ground, she looked over, and he also looked over, and the ground had fallen scattered all over the ground.She raised her head with a haggard look and her arms were trembling: "I've seen... my lord..."

Qin Yunyao looked into her eyes for a while, took a melon seed from her hand, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and said, "It's wet." Melon seeds are placed inside.

She put it in carefully, and wiped off what was on her hands one by one.

"Pick up the ones on the ground." He said again.

Without raising her head, she moved mechanically and picked up the one on the ground.I wanted to put it on the plate, but I thought that the thing that fell on the ground was a bit dirty, so I put it in my hand first.One, two, three... She counted silently in her heart, picking up the ground clean.

He asked, "How many?"

She reflexively reported the number in her heart to him: "27."

He was silent for a moment, and said, "Go back."

"Thank you, my lord." She kowtowed and stood up, her feet were no longer in control, and she fell down as soon as she stood up.After a stagger, he reached out his hand in time to support her.She looked at him with a numb face, said "thank you" again, pushed his hand away, turned and limped away.

Both Mo Yan and Qin Yunyao looked at her back. After a long time, Mo Yan sighed in a low voice: "Hey——"

Ji Liangruo returned to Jingyue Courtyard, lay down on the bed, and found that he was still holding those 27 peeled melon seeds tightly in his hand, and burst into tears.

What is the purpose of suffering these grievances?It's really done for the queen mother, but it's not certain whether the queen mother will kill people to silence her.Now, day by day counts...

At this time, she is much more fragile and hopes that he will remember Xia nine years ago, and remember the words he gave her...to pull her away from all this and give her a new choice...

How much I look forward to...

It's been so many years, Fourth Prince, you still meet your sister-in-law in private, but you've already forgotten about that little maid, right?Why, why did you do that!Why did you call me back after I left, give me a piece of jade, and say "I will take you out of the palace, you can go wherever you want"?
