Chapter 20 Little Palace Maid

He couldn't help but reach out towards the delicate face of the young Emperor.

However, at the next moment, the initially closed eyes of the young Emperor suddenly opened.

This action frightened the Empress, causing her to quickly retract her reaching hand.

But then, the next moment, she heard the gentle voice of the young Emperor:

"How are you feeling, is your body alright?"

Not only was the young Emperor showing concern for the Empress, but while speaking, he unexpectedly reached out to grasp Mu Wanqing's hand, then gently placed it on his cheek:

"Were you just thinking of touching my face?"

Feeling the Emperor's considerateness, Mu Wanqing's pretty face was filled with happiness and joy.

However, upon hearing the Emperor's words, Mu Wanqing subconsciously moved, which immediately resulted in a sharp intake of breath.

Instantly, the Empress frowned.

Seeing the Empress frowning, the young Emperor also frowned.

It seems the situation isn't very good.

Upon reflection, the young Emperor felt happy again.

From now on, he could openly excuse himself from being intimate with her under the guise of cherishing the Empress's health.

With this, it would be a permanent solution.

"Your Majesty, this concubine fears the injury is severe, I might not be able to get out of bed today."

Looking back at the Empress, seeing the young Emperor first frown and then smile, she quickly recalled the content from a comic book her mother taught her.

This is the time when a man likes to hear such words.

So, she began echoing the content from the comic book.

Of course, although she was reciting the content from the comic book, it also truly resonated with her feelings.

Although she had been drunk last night, she could still clearly feel it in her body.

Born into a General's Aristocratic Family, she had practiced Martial Arts and swordsmanship from a young age, but riding and archery for such an extended time were indeed unheard of before.

Even though her physical condition was exceptionally strong, it was still overwhelming for her.

Looking back at the young Emperor, hearing that she couldn't get out of bed, his heart grew even more delighted, realizing his plan might truly work.

Just when thinking of the Empress's current state, the image of Lin Yi's superb horsemanship from last night naturally surfaced in the young Emperor's mind.

For some reason, there's an inexplicable itch in his heart.

But fortunately, the one lying in his arms, like him, was all-mouth if not physically able—all the better for not knowing what could happen.

Of course, having held a high position for many years, it only took a few breaths for him to calm his state of mind.

Hence, the young Emperor reached out to touch the blushing cheek of the Empress, feigning a doting expression and said:

"Heh, it seems I was too barbaric. But don't worry, Empress, in the future I will do my best not to 'applaud' with you."

Originally in the young Emperor's mind, upon hearing his words, the Empress would definitely nod in gratitude.

But unexpectedly, the Empress blushed and shyly uttered a faint phrase:

"Your Majesty, you're so naughty, but this concubine really likes it..."

Those words almost broke the young Emperor's composure, luckily he wasn't Lin Yi, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Ahem, it's getting late, I must attend the morning court now. Empress, since it's inconvenient for you, rest on the bed, I will visit you when I have time."

Saying so, somewhat like fleeing, he turned over and got out of the bed, then shouted toward the door:

"Lin Zi! Come in and help me dress!"

Lin Yi, who was dozing on the steps outside, suddenly moved his ears, then turned over and continued sleeping, but he muttered:

"Who lacks such public decency, yelling so early in the morning..."

After mumbling, he was ready to continue dreaming about making billions in negotiation with the daughter of Zhou Gong.

But just at this moment, Lin Yi suddenly felt someone pushing him, and at the same time, a very pleasant voice came to his ears:

"Eunuch, eunuch, His Majesty is calling you, hurry up and get up, eunuch."

Groggily opening his eyes.

This made Lin Yi instantly widen his eyes and subconsciously perform a move to steal from a bag.

Directly stealing two steamed buns.

At the same time, he couldn't help but exclaim:

"Wow, these two kittens are so cute."

The next moment, the young Emperor heard a scream coming from the entrance of the palace.

This made her instantly furrow her brows.

And when looking outside at the steps at the entrance.

Lin Yi, now completely awake, sat on the steps with an embarrassed face.

"That, that, I'm sorry beautiful lady, if I say I was half asleep and didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?"

At the same time, his gaze hurriedly moved to a pretty palace maid in front of him dressed in a palace maid's attire.

But at this moment, her delicate cheeks were flushed with redness.

And right now, the palace maid was widening her eyes, full of panic, while covering her mouth with one hand, fearing that she might have disturbed the master inside with her scream.

As for the attack she just experienced, although it initially startled her, she soon realized.

The person in front of her is now just a little eunuch, fundamentally not much different from herself.

Not to mention a touch, even if she stood naked in front of him, this little eunuch could only stare helplessly.

The most crucial point, of course, was Lin Yi's appearance and physique, which were truly impeccable.

To say he is the most handsome in the Imperial Palace would not be an exaggeration.

It's just a shame that this handsome guy is ultimately just a little eunuch.

"Little Linzi! Get in here for me!"

And just at that moment, when the little palace maid was extremely frightened, a somewhat angry shout from the young Emperor came from inside the room once again.

This shout directly startled the little palace maid in front of Lin Yi.

And Lin Yi also quickly rolled over to stand up, realizing that the young Emperor was calling him.

But as he stood up, he did not forget to help the little palace maid up and even patted her shoulder:

"Don't be scared, I'm here, oh, by the way, beautiful lady, what's your name? Do you have someone you fancy?"

This behavior from the little eunuch in front of her was truly the first time the little palace maid had encountered such since entering the palace.

The Emperor clearly called him, yet he completely ignored it and instead had time to ask her name.

That's really bold.

Especially considering that his outfit clearly belongs to the lowest-ranked little eunuch.

But who gave him the audacity?

And the words he spoke made the face of the palace maid flush red instantly.

Really, who calls someone a beautiful lady face to face, he's too much of a rascal.

If it weren't for the fact that he's a little eunuch and knowing he couldn't do anything bad, the little palace maid would definitely spit on him.

Although thinking this in her heart, her mouth subconsciously responded:

"Replying to Eunuch, my name is Xiaoxiao."

With these words, Lin Yi's gaze suddenly looked towards a certain place, and at the same time, his mouth unconsciously muttered:

"Small? Not small at all..."
