Su Yi moved a few times in his arms, opened her eyes drowsily, and before she could say anything, she was kissed on the lips.
She woke up and stared at the person who kissed her, and then the person approached again and kissed her on the cheek again.
“…”
Su Yi was a little suspicious. Did her dog turn into a kissing monster in just one night?
Things didn’t stop there.
The maids came in with washing utensils to serve.
In the past, the two of them got up from the bed and washed themselves.
This time, after King Rui got up, he only wore underwear, not even an outer robe. Then he picked up Su Yi, put her on the soft couch beside him, and wrapped her up with a blanket. Then he motioned the maid who brought water to come closer, and he wrung a hot cloth to wipe Su Yi’s face.
One or two maids were young and not calm enough. When they saw the King holding the Princess, they couldn’t help but let out a low cry, blushing and lowering their heads, and almost couldn’t hold the tray in their hands steadily.
The older ones, seeing the messy bed, the faint smell in the air, and the King’s attentiveness and consideration for the Princess, all felt hot in their ears and dared not look at them anymore.
Only Su Yi remained calm. She stopped King Rui with her hand and said, “I’ll do it myself.”
But the other party didn’t play by the rules.
He directly held the hand she used to stop him and wiped it with his fingers one by one. After wiping, he kissed the back of her hand. When he looked up at her, his eyes were like a dog looking at its bones, wishing he could hold it in his mouth all the time.
Su Yi refused in her heart, but she didn’t say anything to resist when she saw him with an expressionless face doing such a thing to please and cherish her.
So, King Rui leaned over, kissed her at the corner of her mouth, and then began to wipe her face.
Su Yi felt that if she was Thumbelina, she might really be held in the other party’s mouth.
Finally, someone wanted to change her clothes, but he was ruthlessly rejected by Su Yi and kicked out of the room.
She really didn’t expect that after coming through several worlds, this time the demon wolf looked the coldest, but once it became smart, its clinging skills would also be the strongest.
Is this the law of extremes leading to the opposite?
During breakfast, she once again rejected the other party’s idea of holding her on his lap and feeding her. She really had hands and feet, and she would not starve to death because no one fed her.
King Rui looked at her with a bit of regret and loss in his eyes, and when his eyelids drooped, he even looked a bit pitiful.
Su Yi was determined not to be soft-hearted.
Hugging and kissing would be fine, but he also fed her like a baby. Didn’t she, the great demon, have any face?
After breakfast, she went to the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress.
The Empress asked her to sit for a while longer, as if chatting, and mentioned the banquet at King An’s mansion yesterday.
“Although King Rui is not His Majesty’s biological son, His Majesty loves him as much as any other prince. You don’t know that when King An was a child, he had a lot of trouble because of this. Fortunately, they have grown up and become sensible now. Seeing these brothers living in harmony, His Majesty and I are very happy.”
Su Yi listened with a smile, knowing the meaning of the Empress’s words. It was nothing more than asking her to persuade King Rui not to really have a conflict with King An.
She didn’t plan to let King Rui beat King An. After all, the other party looked really weak. What if he was injured by accident?
Although the Emperor loved King Rui as his own son, he was not his biological son after all. His nephew beat up his own son. Even if he did not care about it on the surface, he would still feel resentful in his heart.
Besides, what happened yesterday did not cause a rift between her and King Rui, but their relationship made progress because of it.
In addition, she learned from Mao Tuan that King An would not live long. Su Yi felt that she was a magnanimous person, so she should not bother with a short-lived ghost.
She responded seriously with a few words.
Seeing that she understood, the Empress was naturally happy and gave her a lot of things as compensation.
For a moment, both sides were happy.
After saying goodbye from the Empress’s palace, Su Yi walked toward the outer court and saw a person standing there from a distance. He was tall and heroic, and his black cloak fluttered in the wind behind him.
She walked closer and said, “Why did you come to the palace? Did His Majesty summon you?”
“I’m here to pick you up.” King Rui said and stretched out his hand.
Seeing his posture, Su Yi immediately moved to the side and said, “I can walk by myself. You don’t need to hold me.”
King Rui’s hand was hanging in the air, and he was unwilling to take it back. The two people were in a stalemate for a while, and finally, one of them took a step back and went back hand in hand.
On the other side, the Emperor was sitting in the hall reviewing memorials and asked casually: “Didn’t they say that King Rui had entered the palace? It’s only a few steps away, so he should have arrived even if he had to crawl. Why hasn’t he come yet?”
Several adult princes and King Rui all had badges, which allowed them to enter and exit the palace freely, but King Rui rarely entered the palace except when summoned, so the Emperor got the news as soon as he arrived.
He also planned to talk to the other party about what happened yesterday, but in the end, he waited for a long time and nothing happened.
Eunuch De Hai already knew what happened, but in order to prevent the Emperor from getting angry or to make him less angry, he had to consider and say: “The King… has left the palace.”
The Emperor paused, “Left the palace? Then why did he come to the palace? To take a walk?”
“This… He probably came to pick up the Princess.”
“…”
The Emperor wanted to throw the memorial again.
