Chapter 11

Under the escort of the empress, Su Hailing leisurely returned to Chaoyang Palace.

Although it caused the trouble of the night banquet, it is not without benefits after thinking about it.The Fenghexuan where the night banquet is held is not far from the Imperial Study Room. When the time comes, I will sneak out for a while with a drink. If the plan is good, I should be able to steal things out without anyone noticing.

Zi Mo secretly looked at her smiling face, feeling sore in his heart.Today...she is in a good mood, especially after returning from the empress.

"Has Haoyue woke up?" Su Hailing asked casually.

"Not yet, His Highness has ordered that no one should be disturbed, so..." Zi Mo answered after gathering his composure.

"I'll go see him, you can go down." Su Hailing nodded and walked into the room.

Zi Mo looked at her back, her beautiful big eyes filled with water.

"Zi Mo, her identity is beyond what we can imagine." Hong Chen walked over quietly and put a hand on his shoulder.

"But... I'm not reconciled!" Zi Mo raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and choked up, "Originally, I also gave up, I just hoped to be satisfied by looking at her like this. But... why is Haoyue okay? He is obviously... ... woo..."

"Zi Mo!" Hong Chen covered his mouth and shouted sharply.

Pearl-like tears fell drop by drop on the back of his fair hand, which was astonishingly hot.

"Zi Mo..." Hong Chen sighed lowly, and put down his hand, "Don't say this anymore, if Your Highness cares about that matter, today you won't..."

"Why... how can I not compare to him!" Zi Mo shouted, and ran away without looking back.

Hong Chen was stunned, shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself, "Why bother... As long as there is no hope at the beginning, naturally there will be no disappointment..."

Su Hailing, who also heard Zi Mo's cry, was about to push the door stiffly, and it took him a while to react.

Well, give up early, maybe he can find his own happiness.

Inside the house, the brocade tent was hanging down, and Haoyue was still asleep.

Su Hailing sat on the edge of the bed, carefully watching his sleeping face.It seems that he was really exhausted last night, otherwise she would not believe that this stubborn guy would obediently listen to her and sleep.

"You...why are you here?" Haoyue slowly opened her eyes, her voice still full of tiredness.

"Did I wake you up?" Su Hailing smiled softly, brushing away a few strands of hair sticking to his face.

Haoyue moved her body slightly, and pulled up the quilt.

Does this woman know what she's talking about?If he can sleep peacefully with a living person beside him, how can he be a guard!
"I'm getting up." Haoyue said.

"Then get up." Su Hailing stared at him with a smile, but didn't intend to move his position at all.

"Your Highness!" Haoyue's face suddenly turned from white to red.

"What?" Su Hailing asked knowingly.

"Your Highness, please avoid." Haoyue gritted her teeth authentically.

"Why? Anyway, I've seen everything I should and shouldn't have seen yesterday." Su Hailing said, but he stood up and walked behind the screen.

It's good to stop everything in moderation, if you continue to tease, it's hard to guarantee that he will become angry from embarrassment.

After a rustling sound, Haoyue put on her clothes as quickly as possible.

"Your Highness, Mr. Liu Yan from the Ministry of Rites has come and is waiting in the main hall. Please go out with Commander Haoyue." Su Hailing was about to tease a few more words when Hongchen's voice came from outside the door.

"The officials from the Ministry of Rites are here, why do they want to see me?" Haoyue asked inexplicably.

Su Hailing was taken aback, and then couldn't help laughing, unexpectedly, the queen's movements are so fast!

"Your Highness, do you know?" Haoyue said.

"You'll know when you go out." Su Hailing picked up a silver headband, tied up his long hair that fell down to his waist, and tied it behind his head.

"It's fine for the subordinates to come by themselves." Haoyue moved uncomfortably.

"Don't move, it's fine!" Su Hailing held him down, and quickly tied the hairband into a beautiful knot, "Let's go."

Haoyue wanted to pull her hand back, but when she sensed his movement, Su Hailing gripped it even tighter, and while she was pulling, she had already entered the main hall.

In the hall, Liu Yan was holding the brocade box containing the imperial edict, with a look of impatience on his face, seeing their clenched hands, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Haoyue shook her hand, finally broke free, took two steps back, and stood behind Su Hailing.

"His Royal Highness, Princess Ruiqing, this is the canonization book drafted by the Ministry of Rites." Liu Yan showed a sincere smile, and handed over the brocade box in his hands, "Congratulations, Your Highness, and congratulations, Sir Sijun."

"Thank you Master Liu." Su Hailing said with a smile.

"The lower official is busy with business, so I won't stay any longer." Liu Yan said.

"Hong Chen, send Master Liu off." Su Hailing ordered.

"Yes, Master Liu please." Hong Chen said respectfully.

When there were only two people left in the hall, Haoyue grabbed Su Hailing for the first time regardless of her identity.

"As you can see, you are my servant." Su Hailing raised the brocade box in his hand.

"You...how could you..." Haoyue's face was flushed red, and her voice trembled.

"What's wrong with me?" Su Hailing said with a smile, "You are already mine, if you don't marry me, who else do I want to marry?"

"Haoyue would rather die alone." Haoyue bit her lip and said after a long time.

Su Hailing's face darkened, should it be said that he is too unattractive?This is why people refuse to marry!

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Haoyue knelt down and lowered her head.

Su Hailing was silent for a while, put the brocade box on the table, and walked out without saying a word.

Haoyue seemed to be petrified, knelt quietly on the hard bluestone ground, and did not get up for a long time.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" Sending Liu Yan away, Hong Chen saw Su Hailing walking out with a gloomy face as soon as Hong Chen came back, and stepped forward to ask.

Obviously... She was still in such a good mood just now... Just for a while, what happened?
Taking a peek inside the hall, the person kneeling upright in the hall is Haoyue, right?

"It's okay." Su Hailing took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to smile.

"Master Haoyue, did you do something wrong?" Hong Chen couldn't help but ask.

"No, he did nothing wrong." Su Hailing flicked his sleeves, left without looking back, and continued the second half of the sentence in his heart.

That's right, he's good at everything, it's me who's wrong, just pretending to be sentimental.

Hong Chen hesitated for a moment, and walked into the hall.

"Is there something wrong?" Haoyue raised her head blankly when she realized that the light in front of her was blocked.

"You are like this, obviously you are also feeling very uncomfortable, isn't it?" Hong Chen sighed and knelt down.

"I..." Haoyue moved her lips, but finally said nothing.

"Many things are always regretted when they are lost." Hong Chen said softly, "I don't like you, but I don't want His Highness to be sad."

"You like her?" Haoyue asked with difficulty.

"She likes you." Hong Chen smiled helplessly.

Haoyue gave a wry smile and closed her eyes.

Like, can he really believe that she likes her?Not because of the queen, just because of liking.Do not want to marry?No, no... She was the first person who didn't mind his looks, and even said she wanted to marry him, but... Does a person like him still have the right to pursue happiness...
