The emperor's lips fell on Min'er's mouth, but it was not like the domineering who wanted to suck himself in that night, he just pecked lightly twice, like treating the most cherished treasure, and his soft eyes reflected his hesitant and stunned self.

Min'er suddenly woke up, and the emperor had gently let go of her.

"From now on, I will be good to you, never bully you again, never make you sad again, and don't let you be afraid." It could be seen that Min'er was blindfolded, and even frightened, but Xiang Ye was patient and said gently, "What you don't want to do, I won't force you, if you want to live with your grandmother and mother, I will bring them immediately." ”

"Your Majesty ......" Min'er interrupted the emperor's words, this man who was fierce and even did something when he saw him, after giving her to Shen Zhe and forcibly returning to the palace, began to treat himself well. Min'er was a little strange at first, and secretly laughed at whether the emperor was evil, but later, just like being bullied in the past, she accepted his gentleness naturally, and there was nothing special.

However, at this moment, the emperor told himself that he liked him the moment they first met on the wedding night.

Although she had fantasized about her future husband all the way from Yuanzhou to the capital and walked the 1,398 steps of the approach bridge, it was also on the night of the first meeting that she left all her naïve thoughts behind and began to be her queen upright, protecting herself and her family.

She had fantasized that she wished she could be treated gently, but when she no longer looked forward to it, the man said that he was in love with her.

"Do you still want to listen to the piano?" It's all this sentence when asked, and Qiu Min'er doesn't know what she should say at this moment. She can't deny the emperor's affection, but she doesn't know what love is and how should she respond?

Xiang Ye was stunned, unable to hide his disappointment, only nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to the song and leave." ”

Min'er breathed a sigh of relief, went to Qingya to deliver the qin, and sat with the emperor on the floor of the water pavilion, at this moment the fish had long since dispersed, and the sound of the water that stirred people's hearts had quieted down, and the emperor leaned on the railing, staring at Min'er with elegant manners. The slender jade fingers plucked the strings, and the melodious sound of nature resounded on the liquid pool, and everything was quiet, as if nothing had happened.

"In the past ten years, I never thought that I would fall in love with any woman, I fought for seven years, and the new dynasty was established for three years and was entangled in state affairs all day long, and the queen was very reluctant, and I chose you because of your father." In the soothing and soft sound of the piano, Xiang Ye spoke again, and the eyebrows of the person touching the piano trembled slightly, but he did not stop.

"When I saw you that night, I felt panicked inexplicably, as if there was finally someone who wanted to expel the longing for Ruoyao in my heart, and I was so dizzy that I would treat you so roughly." The emperor slowly approached Min'er, "Even after knowing the story of you and Shen Zhe, I wanted to send you away immediately, thinking that that would be worthy of Ruoyao and good to you, you follow Shen Zhe, and you will never be bullied by me again, and those words were true at that time." ”

Suddenly, a hideous sound broke the melodious sound of the piano, and the string of the zither snapped off, pulling through Min'er's fingers, and scratching a bloody mark.

Both of them were stunned, the pain drilled into their hearts, Min'er came to her senses, turned sideways to suck the bleeding fingers, and when she turned back, she looked up inadvertently, and saw the emperor staring nervously at her hand.

Min'er hurriedly said: "The emperor waits, the concubines ask them to change another kite." ”

Xiang Ye grabbed her hand, and when he saw that the blood beads were still coming out, he was about to take Min'er's hand in his mouth.

Realizing what the emperor was going to do, but the finger Min'er herself had just sucked, she struggled to pull it back, where did her strength struggle with the man, when her fingers were wrapped in wet warmth, she felt that she was being sucked gently, Min'er's cheeks were hot, and even her neck and ears were red.

When Xiang Ye finally let go of Min'er's fingers, he pushed away the zither that was lying between them, and hugged the weak man into his arms with a little force, Min'er was so petite, even though his hands were on his chest and against the man's body, he was still firmly embraced.

Her face had to be pressed against the emperor's chest, and the warmth that came through her clothes and the faintly palpable heartbeat made her feel incredible.

It's not the first time they've had a skin-to-skin blind date, Min'er is even naked in front of the emperor, she never contradicts Xiang Ye's desire to do ** things with herself, she understands very well that it is her responsibility as a queen and wife, but as the emperor said, he doesn't want to see Min'er play this role, he wants to really be his woman, but Min'er sees all this as what should be done.

And at this moment, for the first time, he was treated gently, such an embrace was warm and reliable, and even Min'er's defense and panic that he had not let go of were all tolerated.

"Min'er, I'm sorry."

With five simple words, Min'er's heart trembled heavily.

I'm sorry for this, as early as the night they shared the bed, the emperor said it to the people in his sleep, but Xiang Ye at that time couldn't say it in front of Min'er.

But yesterday Ruoyao "appeared", when a woman who looked so similar appeared in front of him, evoking all his love for his wife in the past, Xiang Ye clearly realized how much he cared about Qiu Min'er as a woman.

He doesn't love Ruoyao anymore, that relationship between husband and wife has long been buried ten years ago, he hasn't loved any woman in ten years, not because he still loves Ruoyao, but because he hasn't met someone who is worthy of all his attention.

For more than two months, all the bullying he did to Min'er was to cover up that he was in love with this woman, and Xiang Ye at this moment didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to Min'er if he really left with Shen Zhe.

He wants to be good for Min'er, he cares about brotherhood, but he can't give up at all.

"I'm sorry for everything you've done." Xiang Ye hugged the person in his arms tightly and said affectionately, "Even if you hate me, let me use my future life to compensate you, okay?" ”

Outside the water pavilion, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, Qingya and Zhou Huai were worried about whether something had happened, so they had to poke their heads out to take a look, and suddenly saw the emperor and queen hugging each other, they were both surprised and happy, and hurriedly retreated, not to mention that no one was allowed to disturb.

In the center of the Taiye Pool, in the quiet water pavilion, there were only two of them, what the emperor wanted to say, what he didn't have the courage to say, all said at this moment, but Min'er never gave him an answer.

Xiang Ye let go of his embrace, and when he saw Min'er's face flushed, he smiled and said helplessly, "Are you shy?" ”

Min'er nodded, curling her injured finger in her palm.

A gust of autumn wind caressed her back, and she felt a slight chill on her back, so she felt more obviously how warm Emperor Fangcai's embrace was, overlapping with the feeling she had once fantasized.

But this man ......

"Your Majesty, you won't do anything to your concubines anymore, will you?" After thinking about it for a long time, the emperor said such a car, but Min'er asked this, but this was also the thing she was most afraid of and the most powerless to fight.

"It's not good for me, have you forgotten that hot-blooded and dizzy person?" Xiang Ye said, "I have never done anything to a woman, I have never done anything like that, except for you, everything I say now is an excuse, but I will never bully you again." ”

Min'er nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Xiang Ye chased her gaze: "Have you forgiven me?" ”

Min'er nodded, shook her head again, avoided the emperor's gaze and said, "I can't mention forgiveness, and the concubines don't have that kind of qualifications." ”

Xiang Ye sighed lightly: "Actually, you understand what I mean, you are so smart." ”

Of course Min'er understands, she understands everything, but ......

"Can the emperor let the concubines calm down." Min'er was forced to have no way out, she knew that the emperor was waiting for her answer, and he would definitely believe a lie, but Min'er would have a troubled conscience, she didn't love this man, no, it should be said, she didn't know what love was. She had expected to be treated gently, but she just thought that she would reciprocate gently, not the love between men and women, because she didn't understand it at all.

"Okay, you calm down slowly, I won't force you." Although the emperor was disappointed, there was still hope that he had hurt this woman so excessively that it would take a long time to make her no longer afraid of herself, and how could he immediately make her accept all his heart. At least for now, Qiu Min'er is willing to speak.

Xiang Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, got up by himself, and also helped Min'er to get up, another gust of autumn wind blew, and he advised: "It's getting colder and colder, don't you sit here anymore and read and write, it's ventilated on three sides, how to avoid the cold?" ”

Min'er nodded.

Xiang Ye said: "This Shangyang Hall was originally built for Ruoyao, and it was also according to her previous preferences, I didn't plan to let people live in it before, so I didn't think about being warm in winter and cool in summer." Everything here is very casual, maybe not suitable for human habitation, and it is lonely in the middle of the Taiye Pool, where it looks like a middle palace. ”

Min'er raised her head, what is the emperor going to do?

Sure enough, Xiang Ye said: "I will build another palace for you, a palace that belongs to you." ”

Min'er hurriedly said: "The emperor doesn't have to build a lot of buildings, the concubine doesn't care who this palace is, Queen Jing'an is just an old man who has never seen it for the concubine, you will be unhappy when you hear it, but the concubine has never cared about her, how can she care, who is this palace." ”

Xiang Ye smiled bitterly: "You don't know her, it's natural to care about her for anything." ”

The Emperor finally spoke his senses, and Min'er had always wondered what he was doing to prevent him from taking his place, and now he seemed to finally understand that there was nothing to do with each other.

Min'er couldn't help but smile slightly: "The emperor understands, and the concubines are relieved." ”

This smile warmed the cool autumn breeze and warmed the emperor's heart, even though she said so much, she didn't get a clear response, but she smiled.

Xiang Ye couldn't help it, and pecked Min'er lightly on the lips again, seeing the uneasy look on his beautiful face, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "Don't be afraid." ”

The emperor's lips fell on Min'er's mouth, but it was not like the domineering who wanted to suck himself in that night, he just pecked lightly twice, like treating the most cherished treasure, and his soft eyes reflected his hesitant and stunned self.

Min'er suddenly woke up, and the emperor had gently let go of her.
