Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

————————————————————————————

Lin Jiyuan paused, as if he didn't expect that she would refuse.

Seeing that Yun Si was about to leave, he took two steps forward, lowered his voice and said,

"Sir, do you know what His Majesty thinks of you?"

Yun Si's steps stopped instantly.

"What?"

She raised her brows and turned to him calmly,

Lin Jiyuan continued, "Wei Chen just wants to remind you to be careful about His Majesty's thoughts."

"What does the prince mean?"

Lin Jiyuan paused again,

"Sir, you are a woman and His Majesty is a man. The way he looks at you is definitely beyond the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. Do you... understand?"

Yun Si's heart skipped a beat for a moment, but it didn't show on her face.

She looked at him calmly, narrowed her eyes slightly,

"Beyond the courtesy of a king and his ministers...what does it mean?"

Lin Jiyuan was silent this time,

For a long time, he bowed and kept his voice very low,

"Have you ever thought about the relationship between men and women?"

Yun Si stared at him without saying a word.

After quite a while,

She lifted her lips, still calm, "Maybe the prince is overthinking it."

"No, sir, you-" Lin Jiyuan looked up.

But Yun Si interrupted him directly, "Your Majesty."

"I'm tired. Let's go back and rest first. If you have anything else, let's talk about it another day."

"……grown ups--"

Yun Si didn't answer anymore and walked away, leaving behind a beautiful back.

Her steps are very slow, very slow,

Walking to the corner until Lin Jiyuan was out of sight,

Her pace suddenly began to quicken, almost to a trot.

When she saw the imperial study room from a distance, her pace began to slow down again.

I don’t know whether it was because of trotting that her heartbeat accelerated, or because of something else.

Yun Si felt her heart beating loudly, as if it was about to jump out of her chest and be exposed to the sun.

She stood in the distance, looking at the closed study, and was silent for a long time.

My heart is getting more and more chaotic, like a messy ball of wool that I can't figure out clearly.

But I don't know why,

Vaguely, she seemed to have an answer in her heart.

The previously invisible place slowly emerged from the water, completely revealing its original appearance.

Yun Si pursed her lips, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

When he approached the royal study, the eunuch guarding the door immediately seemed to want to pull her in as soon as he saw her, eager and anxious.

"Master Imperial Master, you are finally here."

"Your Majesty has been waiting for you inside for a while, and he is a little worried."

Yun Si nodded and asked, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood again?"

"...Hey, sir, when did your majesty feel better?"

The eunuch had a sad face, shook his fly whisk, and replied,

"When you come, Your Majesty will be in a much better mood. Those of us who serve here are looking forward to your coming every day."

Yun Si: "...Yeah."

It seems true.

Her cub behaves much better when she holds him.

"Sir, without further ado, can you go in?"

"...Well, thank you for that, father-in-law."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I just want you to come."

Eunuch Chen laughed and invited her in.

As soon as the door is closed,

For some reason, Yun Si suddenly felt less nervous.

On the contrary, I feel a little want to laugh,

She looked around,

Chu Heng was nowhere to be seen at this moment, and there was silence in the study.

Yun Si stood for a while, but when she saw that no one came out, she suppressed her smile, opened the curtain, and walked inside.

"Zai Zai?"

The words haven't finished yet,

Yun Si was picked up in the air and pressed against the pillar.
