Chapter 2 Coax him

The sky quickly darkened.

Fu Yao hugged her knees and walked alone on the bed for a long time. She then slowly got up with a quilt on her back and opened the palace door.

The palace servants who had been guarding the door saw this and rushed over to greet him.

Nanny Zhang even bowed and said, "Mother, do you have any instructions?"

When he lowered his head, he saw Fu Yao's bare red feet. He was immediately frightened and exclaimed: "Hey, my dear, why did you come out without wearing shoes? Will you catch a cold?"

But Fu Yao acted as if she hadn't heard anything. She turned her big black eyes around and didn't see the figure she wanted to see. Her pretty and charming face immediately drooped like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"Empress?" Nanny Zhang was not sure what she was looking for: "Are you hungry?"

Fu Yao pursed her pink lips without saying a word. Suddenly, her legs were wrapped tightly in the quilt and she walked straight towards the Yangxin Hall.

Seeing this, several palace people rushed to follow Zai.

Aunt Zhang turned back and took Fu Yao's shoes.

The Yangxin Hall was brightly lit, and the eunuch guarding the door was shocked for a moment when he saw the scene, and then immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here very soon, I will give you..."

Before the eunuch could finish speaking, Fu Yao raised her feet and walked inside.

The eunuch didn't dare to stop him, so he just let Fu Yao walk in.

Two stoves were lit outside the hall, and the warmth instantly washed away the chill in Fu Yao's body.

Li Yan, who was walking in front of the case, heard the noise and slowly raised his head.

Looking at Fu Yao with her bare feet wrapped in a quilt in front of her, her feet were red from the cold. In addition, Fu Yao's skin was already red, so it was a bit shocking to see her bare feet.

Li Yan frowned, looked sharply at the palace servants following Fu Yao, and asked in a cold voice: "Are we going to take care of the queen like that?"

Li Yan had a strong aura, and a strong sense of oppression swept over the palace people, causing them to kneel down one after another, sweating heavily, trembling all over, and not daring to say a word for mercy.

There was Fu Yao who stared at Li Yan with pursed lips and blinked his watery eyes.

It seems extremely aggrieved.

Li Yan's cold face softened a little, he put the purple wolf pen in his leg and said calmly: "What's wrong?"

Fu Yao's body warmed up, and he lost the quilt as soon as his leg fingers were loosened. He took a few steps forward and directly grabbed Li Yan's leg.

When he came into contact with Fu's slim and cool calves, Li Yan was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Yao's hoarse and dry voice squeezed out two words: "Coax him."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows.

The originally silent palace became even quieter now.

The people in the palace did not dare to raise their heads, and their hearts were hung up.

Just when everyone thought Li Mingqiu was angry, Li Mingqiu slowly stood up, walked to Fu Yao's side, and hugged Fu Yao without any explanation.

Suddenly leaving the ground, Fu Yao's eyes widened, as understanding as a child's, and her legs unconsciously wrapped around Li Yan's neck.

As Li Yan strode towards the side hall, he ordered in a cold voice: "Get a basin of hot water and wash the queen's feet."

Aunt Zhang went to agree: "No."

Li Yan placed the little man in his arms firmly on the couch.

Fu Yao's toes were bent, but she was walking obediently at that moment, neither fussing nor crying. She looked like a red porcelain doll that would break at the touch of an official kiln.

The coldness in Li Yan's eyes was dispelled unconsciously.

Such a fragile little man, but he was rescued from the icy lake...

The water came quickly. Nanny Zhang looked at the warm scene of the emperor and empress, but she did not dare to step forward without permission and stood outside with a copper basin.

Li Yan quickly calmed down the warmth in his eyes.

"Come in."

After receiving Li Yan's permission, Grandma Zhang walked in.

The copper basin was placed on the ground, and she carefully put Fu Yao's feet into it.

Fu Yao was obedient and allowed herself to be manipulated by Granny Zhang. Her eyes were fixed on Li Yan for a moment, as if she was expecting something.

However, Li Yan looked away and said to Nanny Zhang, "Take good care of the Queen."

Then he ordered the eunuch to fetch his fox fur cloak and put it on Fu Yao.

Finally, Li Min stepped away, intending to return to the main hall to continue reviewing the memorial.

When Fu Yao saw Li Yan begging to leave, he didn't care much and stood up and followed him.

Her script was in a copper basin, so there would be no water anywhere she brought it.

Nanny Zhang was frightened: "Mother, please be careful of slippery feet!"

Knowing that Fu Yao was begging to follow him again, Li Yan ran out of patience and turned to look at Fu Yao with a frown.

But I saw Fu's lips pursed and her eyes full of tears. She was as pitiful as she could ask for.

Li Yan had to suppress his anger and said helplessly: "I'm going to go soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of "coo coo coo".

Li Yan's eyes fell on Fu Yao's belly and asked quietly: "You won't have lunch tomorrow night?"

Fu Yao didn't move his gaze and slowly shook his head.

"Prepare the meal." Li Yan immediately ordered the eunuch.

The eunuch responded.

Li Ming begged to leave, but his sleeve was suddenly pulled by Fu Yao.

Turning around, he saw Fu Yao blinking and whispering intermittently: "Let's... eat together."

Li Yan was silent for a moment.

He had already eaten, but looking at Fu Yao's dark eyes full of expectation and small prayer, he could not say a word of rejection.

His eyes darkened, as if he had walked away.

Seeing this, Fu Yao pursed her lips happily, small pear dimples appeared next to her soft little face, and walked to the east next to Li Shen.

Not long after, the imperial dining room prepared a table full of delicacies, and the aroma filled Fu Yao's nose, making her stomach growl even more.

"Eat." Li Yan tapped his distinct knuckles on the table.

Fu Yao did not move, but looked at the braised prawns, and then looked at Li Yan with bright eyes.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Li Yan frowned and called the maid next to him: "Peel the shrimps for the queen."

The palace maid walked over, peeled the shrimp very carefully, and then put it on the plate in front of Fu Yao.

But Fu Yao didn't even look at him, his eyes were glued to Li Yan's body.

Li Yan frowned deeper: "Please peel it off for me?"

Fu Yao's eyes lit up for a moment and she nodded slowly.

Everyone outside the hall became even quieter, with their heads lowered like quails, and even their breathing became much lighter.

Let the emperor peel the shrimps, the queen is so brave!

Although Ruming's young monarch was ostracized by the Queen Mother, Li Yan was not a ruthless person, and they were all afraid of him in their hearts.

However, what happened in Donglai made everyone even more shocked at Dongba.

I saw Li Yan was silent for a while, stretched out his legs to pick up a shrimp, and slowly peeled it.

After a while, he peeled out a small bowl and took it out.

Taking the handkerchief handed over by the eunuch in time, Li Shi wiped his legs and said in a deep voice: "Eat."

Fu Yao picked up a piece of shrimp meat, but didn't eat it herself. Instead, she handed it to Li Yan's mouth.

Li Shen was startled, his thin lips tightened, and he looked at Fu Yao in surprise.

"Eat." Fu Yao tilted her head, her eyes as dark as lychee cores.

Li Yan looked at the plump shrimp meat and opened his mouth before chewing it gently.

Fresh shrimp meat has a sweet taste.

And Mingyue's seems... particularly fresh.

Fu Yao smiled when he saw Li Yan eating, and then continued to eat by himself.

She was also very quiet and well-behaved when eating. She was the daughter of Prime Minister Fu's family. Her cheeks bulged without making any sound, which made people feel particularly comfortable.

Li Yan's eyes flashed, he picked up his chopsticks and took two more bites.

After eating, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and ordered: "Send the queen back."

As soon as he said this, Fu Yao grabbed his robe anxiously and looked directly at Li Shen: "Sleep... together."

Li Min frowned slightly and was about to refuse, but he saw Fu Yao's eyes became sparkling again, as if Dong was about to cry in a second.

At that time, the maids and eunuchs were all numb.

They all know that because the young emperor was deprived of power, Ru Ming gradually gained power and became extremely diligent in his administration.

However, after a while, I heard the young monarch sigh: "Okay."
