"The Emperor has arrived!" A sharp cry pulled Ge Ning back from her thoughts.
Qing Yan tugged at Ge Ning's sleeve and knelt down at the door.""This servant greets the emperor."
Ge Ning reacted and quickly knelt down according to the etiquette she learned before the election."ChenQie greets the Emperor."
The fragrance of bamboo assailed her nostrils, and then a slightly rough hand placed on her arm."Beloved Consort, quickly get up."
Ge Ning's heart tightened,[Could it be that the Emperor really…]
"Zhen heard that Qinxin Hall was flooded and sent people to prepare this hall.”His gentle voice had a hint of dominance," Although this Feathered Bamboo Palace isn't as exquisite as Qinxin Palace, it suits my taste. What does my beloved consort think?"
Ge Ning stiffened her body." It's fine if the emperor thinks it's good. I don't need to do that." In my opinion, if Qinxin Palace is luxurious, then this Feathered Bamboo Palace is elegant. The styles of the two palaces are completely different, and there is no way to compare them. Which one you prefer is based on your personal preference. Chenqie actually prefers this Feathered Bamboo Palace.”As she spoke, Ge Ning became even more relaxed.
Suddenly, Ge Ning stopped talking and remembered who the person standing in front of her was.
However, the Emperor did not seem to mind. He chuckled."My beloved consort's temperament is to zhen's liking.”
Ge Ning couldn't figure out what the Emperor was thinking and became more and more anxious. However, she saw Qing Yan covering her mouth and giggling from the corner of her eye, so she relaxed.
"Beloved Consort, why don't you look up at me? Could it be that you're worried that my appearance is too scary and you don't dare to say it to my face?”
" Your Majesty, you're being too serious. How can the dignity of the Son of Heaven be like this…" Ge Ning stopped talking, not knowing how to continue.
"What are you waiting for?" The smile in the Emperor's eyes grew wider.
" This…" Ge Ning bit her lower lip.
Just as Ge Ning was hesitating and didn't know how to answer, Qing Yan spoke up,""Emperor, don't make things difficult for Mu Cairen.”
Ge Ning heaved a sigh of relief, but she realized something was wrong. Qing Yan seemed to be very familiar with the Emperor. Could it be that…Qing Yan's previous master was the Emperor?!
The Emperor's next words confirmed her guess."Qing Yan, how long have you been in Qinxin Palace and you're already siding with the new master?”
Qing Yan didn't hide it and said bluntly,"Didn't the emperor ask Qing Yan to serve Lady Mu with all her might?" Now, she was blaming Qing Yan?”
Listening to the Emperor and Qing Yan's words, Ge Ning felt like an outsider, unable to blend in with them. Qing Yan always referred to her as a servant, but to the Emperor…this was familiarity…
"Beloved consort, you still refuse to face zhen? It seems that I still don't have enough face…"
" I dare not…" Ge Ning took a deep breath and raised her head.
When she looked up, she met a pair of deep eyes that were filled with joy and gentleness...
Why? Have we met before? Ge Ning was confused.
"Have you forgotten? The Emperor was present during the selection and the coronation ceremony.”Although they hadn't known each other for long, Qing Yan understood Ge Ning the most.
"Beloved Consort is timid, I'm afraid you didn't even dare to take a closer look.”
Qing Yan raised her eyebrows slightly." The Emperor really understands Mu Cairen. It's as if they've known each other for a long time."”
The Emperor smiled and said nothing.
Qing Yan put away her casual smile and started to be serious."Mo, that fire…"
"No…not just one…"
