Shen Qingzhuo was a little disappointed that he could not live in the palace, but he was also happy to get the opportunity to serve the empress closely. When the empress drove him away impatiently, he had a worthless smile on his face.
Lin Jiyuan, who came back from doing business, heard that the empress wanted Shen Qingzhuo to serve in the palace for a period of time, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
However, not long after she left, a newcomer came close to the empress. Lin Jiyuan rubbed the anklet carefully made by the craftsman in her hand, wanting to change it to a larger one.
Tie some soft silk cloth on the inside of the chain and tie the person in the palace. He will not go anywhere and will not see anyone except him.
When Lin Jiyuan came to the bedroom, Yu Shu was sitting on the corridor reading a storybook.
He was lying on a recliner with a storybook in his hand, and some palace servants were feeding him fresh fruits. He looked like a dandy in the capital.
When Lin Jiyuan came over, Xuan Ping and all the palace officials hurriedly saluted. Seeing that he was looking at the empress, he couldn't let go.
Xuan Ping knew that Lin Jiyuan held almost all the power of the imperial court, and hoped that His Majesty could get closer to him so that he could sit on the throne for a long time, so he asked the palace servants to bring a chair and place it next to the empress.
Yu Shu, who still had a storybook with Lin Jiyuan as one of the protagonists in her hand, saw that Lin Jiyuan did not sit down, but leaned towards her. Yu Shu closed the book with a guilty conscience and hid it behind her, saying fiercely.
"What are you doing here?"
The empress didn't dare to look at anyone when she felt guilty, and her face was still rosy pink. She was also very beautiful. She was so beautiful that people wanted to take a bite. Is this pink cheek as sweet as imagined, and will it release alluring juice? .
Looking at the empress like this, Lin Jiyuan's eyes were dark, as if he could imagine what a beautiful scene it would be like when licking the juice.
"Your Majesty does not want to welcome me into the harem, so I am here to please Your Majesty."
As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his cuff and took out the anklet from the box.
To be fair, the anklet is indeed very beautiful. It is pulled by a red rope and decorated with lifelike peach blossoms. There is also a small bell, which looks like the kind that Yu Shu would play with carefully when no one is around.
But this anklet was given by Lin Jiyuan, so Yu Shu didn't want it.
She also wondered if there was something hidden in the anklet that could make her seriously ill or poison her, as revenge for her disregard of his face and not making him the royal husband.
Yu Shu's vigilant eyes fell on Lin Jiyuan, who made Lin Jiyuan smile bitterly.
"Even if I lose my life, I will not harm Your Majesty. Your Majesty does not have to be so distrustful of me."
When he pointed out her thoughts so straightforwardly, Yu Shu pretended not to hear and said clearly.
"You are the regent. Naturally everyone in this court, including me, trusts you. I just wanted this anklet to look better on which foot."
"As long as your Majesty is good-looking." Lin Jiyuan followed the empress's words, and he knew how to trick people without any teacher.
Lin Jiyuan put the anklet back into the box. Just when Yu Shu thought he would hand it to her like this, Lin Jiyuan suddenly picked her up and walked into the hall. He also used his internal force to close the door to prevent Xuan Ping from coaxing anyone in.
After carrying her to the bed, Yu Shu frowned and was about to ask him what he was doing when she saw him bending down to take off her shoes and socks, rubbing her ankles with his fingers, as if looking for which foot was more suitable for wearing an anklet.
Before feeling that the empress's patience was exhausted, Lin Jiyuan took out the anklet again and carefully put it on the empress' ankle.
After putting it on, Lin Jiyuan wanted to lower his head and kiss the skin that was made as white as snow by the thin red rope, but the empress stepped on her shoulder impatiently and tapped him twice on the face with a fierce tone. .
"Lin Jiyuan, you are so annoying. You are so willing to serve me, do you also want to be a member of the palace?"
The empress' tone of voice was harsh. Perhaps she was annoyed by Lin Jiyuan's actions. She didn't even hide her displeasure towards him, it was clearly displayed on her pretty little face.
