On the stage, her graceful figure was like a hibiscus emerging from the water, attracting everyone's attention.
Suddenly, the sound of the zither stopped abruptly. She stopped dancing and quietly retreated.
Following that, nearly ten uniformed women emerged from the backstage. They held burning candles in their hands and stood around the edge of the stage. Then, they squatted down and lit something with the candles. There was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
The fireworks leaped up with the sound, blooming into a dazzling, colorful pattern in the dark sky.
The entire imperial garden was filled with cheers that could be heard from afar.
Backstage, Yue Yinshuang didn't even change her clothes and planned to leave with Jin Xiu and Ruyi.
"Eunuch, please help me deal with the follow-up matters.”She said to Qing 'an, who was standing at the door.
"Alright, please rest assured, Empress." Qing An bowed and received the order. He turned around and instructed the eunuch beside him, not daring to be negligent.
She got the answer she wanted and stepped away. Jin Xiu followed closely behind.
After taking a small path that few people passed by, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Niangniang, wash up and rest after returning to the palace.”Jin Xiu couldn't bear to see her tired appearance and lowered her head.
" Okay..." She responded weakly. Then, her eyes went dark and her body fell forward weakly.
"Empress!" Jin Xiu and Ruyi cried out in alarm and quickly stepped forward to hug her sliding body.
"What should we do?" Ruyi looked worriedly at the person in her arms.
"You take the Empress back first, I will go and call the Imperial Physician!”Jin Xiu forced herself to calm down first, but her trembling hands revealed her current mood.
"Alright." Ruyi put her hand on his shoulder and helped her to the Phoenix Palace.
After the doctor checked her pulse, he said she was overworked and gave a prescription to Jinxiu to get the medicine and then got up and left.
After a while, she woke up in a daze. Ruyi fed her a bowl of medicine and fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, it was already late at night. The red candles in the room had been extinguished. Some moonlight seeped through the window and shone on the clean floor.
The seat beside her was warm, and she couldn't help but move closer.
Warm? She frowned in confusion and tilted her head to look to the side. His enlarged face was close at hand.
" Ah…" Just as she was about to call out, her mouth was covered.
"It's me. Don't scream." A deep, slightly hoarse, yet magnetic, deep voice rang out above her head.
"Why did you come to my room in the middle of the night?”She looked at him in surprise and reached out to pull his warm palm away.
"I heard you were sick." His eyes gazed at her gently, his hand pressed against her pale face.
"The imperial physician said that he was too tired and that he would be fine after resting for a while.”She smiled at him.
"Okay, then let's rest." He turned sideways and continued to hug her.
"Aren't you leaving?" She couldn't help but ask with a frown as his body got closer and closer.
"I'll accompany you today." He gave her a brilliant smile.
"Then…there's no need to hug me, right?" The two bodies were pressed tightly together, and his breath surrounded her, making her lose her mind.
"I'm afraid you'll kick the blanket in the middle of the night." he said as he tried to hold back his laughter, deliberately teasing her.
"... Isn't this too exaggerated?" The corners of her mouth twitched. It was really difficult for him to make up such a reason.
"Hehe, hurry up and sleep." His hand went around her neck and she rested her head on his arm.
"You must be joking." She muttered to herself. Her scalp went numb when she thought of those rumors. She did not want to become the public enemy of the harem again.
"Do I look like one?" Her rejection made him a little unhappy.
"Yes!" She lied to herself as she pressed her hand against his chest.
"Hurry up and sleep!" He couldn't be bothered to argue with her anymore. He grabbed the hand on his chest and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he placed her hand on his waist and held her waist domineeringly.
"…" She struggled for a moment, and he hugged her even tighter.
He looked at her embarrassed expression and laughed smugly.
"As you wish!" She glared at him fiercely and pouted angrily. She closed her eyes and did not look at him.
However, their hearts were getting closer.
