106 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Jinghao

A ray of scorching sun shone on her eyelids, and Yan Zhaozhao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She frowned slightly and subconsciously raised her palms to cover her eyes.The next second, she struggled to open her eyes, and faintly woke up.

As soon as she sat up, Bi Luo, who was always paying attention to the direction of the bed, came over and said, “Miss, you’re awake.” She has been accustomed to calling Yan Zhaozhao “Miss” for a long time. Even now that Xie Ciyan has returned and even the dynasty has changed, she has not been able to change it.”My servant will go get you some water to wash up.”

“Wait a minute.” Yan Zhaozhao’s voice was slightly hoarse and her throat was a little dry.”Where is he?”

Bi Luo knew who her young lady was asking, and there was even more of a smile on her face.”Your Majesty, he is reviewing the memorial in Yangxin Hall. Your Majesty also said that as soon as the young lady wakes up, he will send someone to inform him.”

Yan Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, with a slightly confused look in his eyes.After a long while, she suddenly remembered that the emperor Bi Luo was talking about was Xie Ciyan. Just one night passed, and something had quietly changed dramatically, so unprepared that people could not react for a moment.

She nodded, and then Bi Luo quickly brought a basin of water back for Yan Zhaozhao to wash up.While wiping her young lady’s hands, Bi Luo quietly glanced at Yan Zhaozhao pretending to be disrespectful. Seeing her rosy face and excellent complexion, she couldn’t help but feel her eyes well up.The young lady of her family has finally had a happy ending. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, even if the new emperor does not give the young lady the position of queen, he will at least give her the title of concubine.In that way, the young lady’s life will not be too difficult in the future. The harem is a place where people are accustomed to worship those who are superior and those who are inferior. The status is slightly lower. Even the maids and eunuchs dare to bully the master. If they are not favored and have no status, they are no different from the cold palace.

She only hoped that the new emperor could withstand the temptation of the overwhelming royal power and the three thousand beauties in the harem after ascending the throne, and would not let down her young lady.

Yan Zhaozhao woke up a little late, and it was almost lunch time. By the time she washed up and changed her clothes, Xie Ciyan had already returned to Jinyuan.

Seeing her coming out, Xie Ciyan immediately came to greet her, his eyes full of warmth, completely different from the cold look on his face just now.”Did you sleep well last night?”

Such straightforward words could not help but make Yan Zhaozhao’s cheeks turn red with embarrassment. She quietly signaled with her eyes that there were others in the palace, trying to get him to restrain himself.Xie Ciyan was not afraid at all, he only looked at her with a bit of doting in his eyes. The people serving in Jinyuan were all his confidants, so how could he not know when to look at her and when not to look at her.

However, he did not say this out loud, and only relied on Yan Zhaozhao to say something else.

Xie Ciyan and Yan Zhaozhao sat down together. The waiter next to him wanted to pick up chopsticks to serve the two nobles, but the man waved his hand to stop him, and then waved his hand to indicate that they did not need to wait here.Everyone bowed with a look and then left the dormitory one after another.

“There is no one around now. Maybe you have something to say to Miss Zhaozhao?” He teased her with a lazy tone and teasing eyes.

Yan Zhaozhao’s cheeks turned redder, as if she had drank a few glasses of wine. She lowered her head and murmured, “I didn’t ask you not to speak.” As if she noticed something was wrong, she suddenly raised her head and saw that Xie Ciyan was still wearing the black robe she usually wears. She couldn’t help but frowned, “Why are you still wearing this black robe today? Shouldn’t you be… wearing a dragon robe?”

Maybe she was too accustomed to him saying goodbye to her, so when she first saw him wearing black uniforms, she didn’t feel anything was wrong. Only later did she realize that something was wrong.

Xie Ciyan picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of fish meat into his bowl. His eyes were focused on the piece of snow-white fish meat, and he didn’t even look at her. “I just ascended the throne last night, and the dragon robe is still being made. Besides, I don’tI would like to wear a dragon robe of the same color and style as that of the abandoned emperor.” After saying this, he put the fish meat that had been carefully picked out of the bones into Yan Zhaozhao’s bowl, and then put a shrimp into his own bowl with his backhand, and picked up the shrimp shell with his bare hands.”I want the Shangyi Bureau to make my unique dragon robe, just like there is only one king in Da Sheng. No matter who else wears the dragon robe, he will not be the emperor of Sheng.”

The meaning of his words was obvious, and Yan Zhaozhao suddenly thought of the Hunjun who was deposed by Xie Ciyan, and couldn’t help but curiously asked, “Where is the Hunjun now? How to deal with it?”

Everything happened suddenly last night, and she still hadn’t reacted to many things yet. She was even more curious about how the man managed to get those courtiers to welcome him to the throne.Although the Hunjun has always been fatuous and incompetent, there are still many old foxes in the court who want to use this to control the Hunjun and control the government.But Xie Ciyan could convince all the courtiers to welcome him to the throne overnight, which made her even more curious.

“Does Zhao Zhao want to see the deposed emperor?” Xie Ciyan asked casually, placing a shelled shrimp in her bowl with his well-jointed fingers.”If you want to go, just eat first and I’ll show you around later.”

She was stunned. She had never thought of meeting the Hunjun before, but since Xie Ciyan said so, she couldn’t bear her curiosity, so she didn’t refuse. She picked up the shrimp meat that he had just peeled off the shells with her chopsticks.Even when Xie Ciyan was peeling off shrimp shells, he looked like an immortal. He lowered his eyes and looked seriously, carefully peeling off the shrimp shells bit by bit with his long fingertips, and then put the shrimp in his hand into her bowl.

Yan Zhaozhao looked up and realized that the dining table was filled with her favorite food.A little confusion flashed in her eyes, and she raised her eyes to look at him, “These dishes…” She had rarely dined with Xie Ciyan before, let alone knew what she liked to eat, but she vaguely felt that the dishes on the table were not a coincidence, so she asked directly, “How do you know what I like to eat?”

In this treacherous harem, she tried her best to hide even what she likes to eat so that no one would notice it, just to prevent someone from poisoning her favorite food. Moreover, she usually retreated from the palace when eating, leaving only Bi Luo to serve. There were very few people who knew what she liked to eat, and I am afraid that even her biological mother did not know what she liked to eat.

Xie Ciyan raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes, but he just replied casually, “I saw you eating it at the palace banquet before, so I guessed that you like it.”

How could Yan Zhaozhao know that when she was bored at the palace banquet, Xie Ciyan’s eyes never left her body and kept wandering around her body.The palace banquet was boring, and she didn’t like to watch those posing dancers performing, so she had no choice but to pick up her chopsticks and eat some food.Perhaps she didn’t even realize it, but whenever there was fish or shrimp in the meal, she couldn’t help but take a few more bites.She loves shrimps but doesn’t eat shrimps with shells. She didn’t touch the crystal shrimps she cooked for the Royal Dinner at the last palace banquet, but she was particularly fond of the pineapple shrimps. She didn’t eat the pineapple, but picked out the shrimps and swallowed them all.

Xie Ciyan looked at the woman with a hint of spring in her eyes, and couldn’t help but feel soft. He didn’t stop peeling the shells in his hands, but became more familiar with it. He put a peeled shrimp into Yan Zhaozhao’s bowl in a few clicks.

Seeing the man in front of her who was willing to deign to wash her hands and peel the shrimp shells for her, Yan Zhaozhao suddenly felt moved in her heart.Although it was just a small thing, it was the accumulation of these small things that made her develop a dependence on Xie Ci, which gradually evolved into love.

Even at home, Yan Zhaozhao had never seen her father pick up vegetables for her mother, let alone the dirty work of peeling shrimp shells.In front of him, he thanked Yan for being a noble emperor, but he was willing to put down his body for her again and again.Because of this, she never doubted his love for her.

Yan Zhaozhao held up her chopsticks, picked up the shrimps in her bowl and put them to his lips, “Don’t peel them, you can eat some too.”

Xie Ciyan’s eyebrows became softer and softer. The moment he raised his eyes to look at her, the brilliance in his eyes flowed, like a gentle moonlight, containing tenderness.He opened his thin lips slightly and ate the shrimp Yan Zhaozhao fed her. He even felt that the shrimp cooked by the imperial chef today was very delicious.

Lunch was eaten very slowly. Xie Ciyan ignored Yan Zhaozhao’s obstruction and kept moving to pick vegetables and peel shrimps for her.Yan Zhaozhao had no choice but to put the food in the bowl into the man’s bowl, but he seemed to turn a blind eye and actually didn’t take a bite. She had no choice but to blush and pick up the food in the bowl and feed it to him one by one. Only then did Xie Ciyan open his mouth and eat with a thoughtful look.

Until the end, when Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t eat anymore, Xie Ciyan took the wet towel on one side and wiped his hands clean, then picked up his chopsticks and ate quickly.

She wanted to feed him again, but Xie Ciyan declined.”I’ll eat it myself, don’t tire my Zhao Zhao.”

The teasing words made Yan Zhaozhao’s cheeks turn redder, and she glared at him with a pair of twinkling eyes, but there was a sweet feeling in her heart, as if she had eaten a peach blossom cake.

She couldn’t help but think how great it would be if she could continue like this with Xie Ciyan in the future.
