Chapter 427 It’s Getting Late
"Your Majesty, the Yanxi Palace reported that Miss A Ruo went to Ruyi Pavilion."
As soon as Wang Qin received the news, he rushed over to report.
The emperor has been paying attention to him recently. As the emperor's number one lackey, he naturally has to do what he wants.
He even didn't tell the empress about the news that the emperor was in love again.
Because he was the one who cleaned up the whole thing, if the information was leaked, he would be the first to suffer.
When Hongli heard this, he immediately put down the brush in his hand.
"Ruyi Pavilion? What did she do there?"
Wang Qin walked closer and bent over to report: "I heard that it was Empress Xian who asked A Ruo to watch Lord Lang paint."
As he got closer, he caught a glimpse of the things on the table out of the corner of his eye.
It was an unfinished portrait painting, and judging by the background it should be in the Imperial Garden.
So there is no need to say who painted this.
"Pack up, I'm going to Ruyi Pavilion."
"Whoo!"
Wang Qin knew that the emperor would definitely go, so he prepared everything.
Ruyi Pavilion was quite some distance away from the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When Hongli arrived, he saw Lang Shining painting in the hall.
"emperor?"
Lang Shining was startled and immediately knelt down to salute.
But Hongli's attention was completely attracted by the figure beside him.
He waved his hand at Lang Shining, signaling him not to say anything.
Then he walked silently to the person who was dozing off.
Seeing her standing there, nodding her little head non-stop, she looked extremely sleepy.
Hongli couldn't help but want to tease her.
So he leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low voice:
"How dare you! Who told you to sleep here?"
Luo Yao was startled and woke up instantly and retorted:
"I didn't sleep!"
He started denying before he even opened his eyes.
This act of trying to cover up one's own guilt made Hongli laugh out loud.
Luo Yao came back to her senses and saw that he was teasing her, and she couldn't help but blushing.
"Your Majesty! You are so mean! You are scaring me on purpose again!"
It is said that women who act coquettishly have the best life, and Luo Yao now understands this well.
He raised his hand and punched Hongli on the chest a few times.
Hongli smiled and grabbed her hand. Just as he was about to say something, he frowned.
"Why are your hands so cold?"
Holding her hand felt like holding a piece of chilled tofu.
Luo Yao's eyes flickered, she lowered her head and was about to pull her hand out.
"It's nothing...I was born like this..."
No wonder!
Of course your hands are cold!
Hongli held her hand even tighter, and took her other hand in his as well, using his body temperature to keep her warm.
He preached:
"You don't wear two more layers of clothes when you go out. You'll know the pain when your hands get frostbitten."
Luo Yao pursed her lips, looking unconvinced.
"I'm already wearing enough. If I put on two more, I'll become fat as a ball!"
Hongli's eyes swept across her slender waist. Even though she was wearing winter clothes, her figure was still hard to hide.
How can you look fat by wearing more clothes?
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand in a probing manner.
"Really? Then let me measure you to see if you have gained weight."
As soon as the hand landed on her waist, Luo Yao ran away with a smile.
"Your Majesty is cheating. How can there be such a quantity?"
Hongli rubbed his fingers with some aftertaste. Just from the slightest touch, he could feel the amazingly thin waist.
Are you afraid that it can be pinched with one hand?
There was a flash of heat in Hongli's eyes, and he was becoming more and more fascinated by the other party.
Seeing her running away, he started to chase after her.
"Don't run, be careful not to bump into the easel."
The two were laughing and playing in Ruyi Pavilion, looking like a couple in the ambiguous period.
Lang Shining, who was painting nearby, said: “…”
'Is there anyone who can speak up for me?'
"I was working peacefully, and someone came over to show off their affection in front of me."
"I'm already tired of going to work! Am I also one of you guys playing? ? '
But even if I curse in my heart, I still have to do the work.
Fortunately, the two people at the back calmed down and found a place to read, so Lang Shining was able to work normally.
In the northwest corner of the studio, there is a staircase leading to the second floor.
The two of them just sat on the steps, reading a book together.
They were originally going to watch it together, but Luoyao said it was too tiring to read and wanted Hongli to read it to her.
Hongli frowned. He was the emperor, but even his own son didn't have the privilege of listening to him read.
How can...
Luo Yao grabbed his arm and shook it, "Your Majesty's voice is so beautiful, I want to listen to it more~"
Hongli's intention to refuse immediately hesitated.
And when Luo Yao changed to hugging his arm and acting coquettishly, she muttered: "Your Majesty, can you please~"
Hongli's attitude changed instantly.
read!
Isn't it just reading a few sentences? What does it have to do with whether he is the emperor? !
So the two of them read while one listened, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
As he was reading, someone's little head rested on Hongli's shoulder.
Hongli turned around and saw that the person had fallen asleep.
So asking him to read aloud was actually to coax her to sleep?
Hongli laughed and felt that she was really like a child.
But when his eyes fell on his arms that were held in her arms, his mind changed instantly.
Feeling the softness on his arm, he became a little distracted.
She looked quite thin, but I didn't expect...
Maybe this is the result of twigs bearing fruit?
As Hongli watched, his expression became a little dazed.
Her peaceful sleeping posture made him unable to help but reach out and gently stroke her cheek.
How can someone perfectly possess the three styles of purity, charm and cuteness?
It seemed that his action disturbed the other party. The girl frowned slightly and tilted her head in dissatisfaction.
The delicate red lips moved, as if saying something.
Once Hongli's eyes fell on it, he couldn't take them away.
He lowered his head as if possessed by a ghost and slowly approached...
At this moment, even the air around him became quiet, and Hongli could even hear his own heartbeat.
Strong and powerful, it shows the owner's inner restlessness.
Just when the distance between them was getting closer and closer, and he was almost able to kiss her!
Suddenly a shout came from outside the palace:
"Aruo! Aruo, you...Eunuch Wang? Why are you here?"
The sound was so loud that it immediately woke up Luo Yao who was sleeping.
She sat up straight, somewhat tiredly.
"Who's calling me?"
I turned my head and looked out the window again, only to realize that a long time had passed.
"Oops, it's getting late and I overslept!"
Luo Yao stood up quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I still have to go back to deliver the painting. I'll leave first~"
Until she took the things and left, Hongli remained in the same posture without moving.
A feeling of annoyance that a good thing was interrupted arose spontaneously.
But luckily, he has a place to vent!
"Wang Qin!"
