"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
The voice came from behind. Ning Chen turned around and saw Lady Yi bowing shyly.
"No thanks, it's already dark, go to bed early, we have to travel tomorrow."
Lady Yi walked a few steps closer and said softly, "I slept in the carriage, so I am not sleepy now. Your Majesty, don't you want to go for a walk? I will accompany you."
It was dark at night. Ning Chen frowned slightly but no one noticed. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Yi Meiren was overjoyed and hurried to follow.
Her maid Yunxiu was also happy and raised her chin deliberately when she passed by Nan Zhi.
Nan Zhi was angry, and Huiyue hurriedly pulled her away.
"The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Since she wants to be the first, she shouldn't be afraid of being envied and plotted against by others later."
After such persuasion, Nan Zhi stamped her feet angrily and turned back into the tent.
The next day, we set off early in the morning again.
Ye Jun fell asleep in the dark and woke up in the dark, but fortunately he got enough sleep this time and didn't feel so uncomfortable.
When she got on the carriage, she saw Lady Yi looking at her smugly, which made her quite confused.
After they sat down, Nan Zhi told them what happened last night in detail.
"Tsk, is she trying to take advantage of me while I was sleeping?" Ye Jun half-squinted her eyes, "I didn't sleep with her, I just walked around the camp with her, and she's so cocky."
“Don’t be angry, my beauty. She just got lucky.” Nan Zhi tried to comfort her.
Ye Jun's body softened, and she leaned back on the pillow, snorting coldly, "Why should I be angry? She is so happy just because she picked up some meat. I will let her know what it means to eat meat later."
Are you kidding? He came to her doorstep to snatch her away, how could he not give her back
Although she was asleep, the emperor originally intended to come to look for her, but was intercepted by Wu, which made her uncomfortable.
Especially that smug look this morning, it really makes me want to deal with him.
So when the convoy stopped at noon, Ye Jun turned around and went straight to Ning Chen's carriage.
The person with the highest rank among them was Concubine Shu, who immediately stopped her when she saw her coming.
"What is Lady Ming doing? Why don't you stay in your carriage and come all the way here to disturb the Emperor's rest?"
Ye Jun's face was calm, and she bowed, "I am here to ask the emperor to allow me to see my grandfather when I arrive in Bianzhou. This needs to be reported in advance. When the queen arrives in Yuzhou, she also has to see her family. This should be the rule, right?"
"Of course, I will convey these words for you, so you don't have to go around in front of the emperor." Concubine Shu sneered, "The emperor was accompanied by Concubine Yi yesterday. Are you jealous and come here? Don't blame me for not reminding you. The emperor hates jealousy and flattery the most."
"Even the Empress had no reason to stop me from seeing the Emperor. Why do the rules change once I leave the palace? Since I cannot see the Emperor, I dare not trouble the Concubine Shu. I will find my brother later and ask him to convey my message."
Ye Jun was not afraid of her and was about to leave immediately after saying that.
Shufei insisted on stopping her, and she had no way to force her way in, but as a subject, Ye Zhe would not be hindered from seeing the emperor.
But once she goes there, what is said will no longer be something Shufei can control.
"Stop!" Concubine Shu was not stupid enough to do that. She gritted her teeth and stopped him. "If you really want to see him, go quickly so as not to delay the emperor's meal."
Ye Jun curled her lips and smiled lightly, just as calmly as before, "Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
After he finished speaking, he walked around Concubine Shu and her group and went to the imperial carriage.
The carriage of Concubine Jing was next to them, and she heard everything clearly.
Tan Xiang sneered, "Shu Fei is getting worse and worse. She was defeated in just a few words against Ming Meiren."
Concubine Jing took a sip of tea, with a smile in her eyes, "This Ye family underestimated her before, I'm afraid that Concubine Shu will be even more unable to defeat her in the future. I can get to know her and make a good relationship with her."
"I understand." Tan Xiang responded.
On the other side, Ye Jun, who was being talked about, was already sitting in the emperor's arms.
"When the Emperor came yesterday, he didn't even look at me. It was really disheartening." A certain goblin said in a coquettish voice.
Ning Chen couldn't stand her voice, so he reached out and pinched her face, forcing her to stop.
"You are such a heartless person. You went to bed early and made me go for nothing. Now you dare to blame me?"
"Um... Huang Sang was obviously... um... seduced away by someone else!"
With his face pinched, Ye Jun spoke unclearly, and his eyes stared at people with grievance, which was really cute.
Ning Chen wanted to laugh when he saw her looking at him, so he let go and turned away. Ye Jun broke free and suddenly reached out to hold Ning Chen's face, forcing him to turn around.
He was smiling at first, but now he was dazed and shocked.
When their eyes met, one looked like a naughty elf and the other looked like an ignorant boy.
"How dare you!" Ning Chen growled and immediately grabbed the pair of naughty little hands, but the tips of his ears quickly became hot.
In places where no one can see, one's heart is beating even more wildly.
Even after being yelled at, Ye Jun was not panicked. If he really hated her, why would he ask her to sit in his arms at this moment
So she immediately leaned over softly.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please don't chase me away. Just stay for lunch. I didn't eat well yesterday."
The speed of her surrender and the intensity of her coquettishness, Ning Chen was coaxed.
In the end, Ye Yun was indeed invited to stay and have lunch on the imperial carriage.
After finishing the meal, they were about to continue their journey, but it started to rain lightly. How could they go back? So they simply stayed on the imperial carriage.
Ning Chen hadn't had a good rest in the past two days. Now that Ye Jun held his waist and hooked him onto the couch, he soon fell asleep.
The emperor's carriage was naturally spacious enough for two people to sleep horizontally or vertically.
I slept for almost two hours.
Ning Chen woke up first. The person in his arms had rolled into the corner and leaned against the wall of the carriage because he was a little too hot from sleeping.
I opened the car curtain. It was already dark outside and it was still raining.
"Your Majesty." Yuan Jiu lowered his voice carefully, "You can stay in a nice courtyard in the suburbs tonight. It was the residence of a marquis in the previous dynasty. It is now empty. I have sent someone to clean it up as soon as possible."
"Well, you can arrange it. The female relatives must be taken care of." Ning Chen nodded.
There are still a few places to stay along the way, not all of them are tents. In three days we will reach Bianzhou, where there is a temporary palace.
When Yuan Jiu lowered the curtain and walked out, Ye Jun inside had already woken up.
Her charming eyes were still hazy, her clothes were messy when she slept, and her spring scenery was faintly visible. Her black hair was scattered on her shoulders, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she was half-supported with her body leaning on the pillow, as soft as if she had no bones.
Seeing Ning Chen turning around, he called out "Your Majesty" in a low voice.
She must be the enchanting concubine who seduced the king in history books.
Ning Chen's heart was throbbing uncontrollably, but these words came to his mind.
"What a goblin!"
He couldn't help but whisper what he was thinking, but his body still leaned over involuntarily and held the person in his arms.

Yunyun: Determined to flatter the superior and confuse the master
Chenchen: Okay, okay.
