Chapter 41: Playing hard to get? How old-fashioned.
"Hail, the Queen." A little palace maid suddenly ran up and said anxiously: "My Queen, where have you been? The Emperor has called me many times and lost his temper."
"Please hurry up and follow this slave."
Jiang Yuan nodded and slowly followed her footsteps.
I don't know where Xiao Ruan went, but it would be better if she was not here, lest the emperor take action on her.
It's not a good thing to care about someone so much. Jiang Yuan put Xiao Ruan away from his mind and concentrated on walking.
Jiang Yuan was pushed into the palace, and the door behind him was slowly closed.
The emperor sat at the table, which was filled with various delicacies. "I didn't see the queen eating just now. Come and eat some with me."
Jiang Yuan sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and ate slowly.
The emperor's eyes were fixed on her from the moment she came in, without turning away at all.
Until Jiang Yuan had eaten and drank enough and put down her chopsticks, he just held the wine and looked at her with unclear meaning.
He didn't speak, and neither did Jiang Yuan.
After a long time, the emperor put down the cup heavily, and his beautiful face glowed with infinite brilliance. He stood up, grabbed Jiang Yuan's chin across the table, and lifted it up forcefully.
The emperor's eyes were as unfathomable as ever, but now there was a hint of predatory light.
"Bei Yue, your performance was really good. I was almost deceived by you. Are you playing hard to get? I admit, you won."
"I am very interested in you now."
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, you think I'm acting?"
"Qi Xuanzuo."
"Well?"
"My name is Qi Xuanzuo. Didn't you always call me like this before?"
Well, she has no class concept anyway, "Qi Xuanzuo."
"Okay." The emperor smiled again with a soul-stirring smile, "It's more fun this way, isn't it? Beiyue?"
She actually thinks that Bei Yue was acting before, but now she is her true nature? Who gave him such affirmation?
The emperor is amazing? Does everyone want to love him?
Still playing hard to get? So cliche.
"You are wrong." Jiang Yuan turned her face away and took a step back, "The former Bei Yue was not acting. She did... love you very much."
