The host is cute and charming, who doesn’t love the charming wife?

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word you say?"

Ruan Miaomiao was a little panicked, but her ears pricked up uncontrollably.

She seemed to subconsciously feel that what would happen next might change her life.

Seeing that she still hadn't reacted, Xiao Chenjing took a deep breath and decided not to beat around the bush.

"You guys should retreat outside the pavilion. You are not allowed to eavesdrop without permission."

"Yes."

Xiaobao led his men out quietly, and now only Xiao Chenjing and Ruan Miaomiao were left in the pavilion.

For a moment, the surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of the carp's tail stirring the water in the pond was particularly clear.

Ruan Miaomiao lowered her brows and eyes. Affected by the atmosphere, even she didn't dare to say anything.

Xiao Chenjing's chest also heaved as he tried to calm himself.

After a long time, his low voice slowly sounded.

"You are not allowed to bring up the palace in front of me again, and you are not allowed to do... the things that follow."

Even though Ruan Miaomiao was prepared, she was unable to react when she heard him say this in person.

"Can't leave the palace?"

She repeated it foolishly, then raised her head and tried to see Xiao Chenjing's expression to understand what he meant.

Looking at her dazed look, Xiao Chenjing felt angry and pity.

He had said so much, but this palace maid still didn't understand what he meant!

Fortunately, Xiao Chenjing didn't want to suppress his feelings anymore, so he simply said more this time so that the palace maid could fully understand his feelings.

"I mean."

Xiao Chenjing told Ruan Miaomiao not to avoid his gaze, and looked straight at her and said, "I want you to stay in the palace forever, and stay by my side."

"But I can leave the palace when I reach the age! This is the rule left by our ancestors. Does His Majesty still need a personal maid from me?"

Xiao Chenjing was so angry when he saw her confused look. All the good manners he was so proud of were wasted in front of her.

"Who asked you to be a palace maid? I meant that you should stay in the palace and accompany me as my woman."

Maybe even Xiao Chenjing didn't notice that he referred to himself as "I" when he spoke. The main reason was that Ruan Miaomiao had made him angry several times today, and even a saint would find it difficult to remain rational all the time.

He did not lower his voice deliberately, and Mu Zian was standing closest to the pavilion, so he pricked up his ears.

So it was easy to hear what he said.

Now he doesn't know what his mentality is.

I feel happy when the person I love achieves his or her goal, but being prepared in my heart and seeing it with my own ears are two different things.

It was as if a person was split into two halves, one half was happy, and the other half was jealous and painful.

How much he wanted to exchange identities with the emperor at this moment, but he knew that this would always be just a luxury.

Ruan Miaomiao did not have the same complicated feelings as Mu Zian.

She was stunned at first, then looked at Xiao Chenjing with disbelief and surprise.

This made Xiao Chenjing, who had been observing her, happy, and his eyes unconsciously stared at Ruan Miaomiao's face.

At this point, how could Ruan Miaomiao not know that her first step was successful?

Perhaps because of her previous discouragement and doubt, she felt even greater joy when the reversal came.

She subconsciously wanted to find Mu Zian and share the news with him, but ignored Xiao Chenjing who was standing beside her.

"Why, you're still not happy with this?"

Xiao Chenjing saw that she was clearly happy, but she didn't reply for a long time, so his brows began to frown again.

"No no no!"

Ruan Miaomiao, whose attention was drawn back, shook her head violently. She really didn't know how to control her thoughts.

How could he give up a position that was already within his grasp?

"I can't believe it. Your Majesty, can you please repeat what you just said?"

Her eyes were as clear as if they had been washed with clean water, and she noticed all of Xiao Chenjing's strange visions.

Instead, he became more concerned about Ruan Miaomiao.

"Don't say you were shocked. I actually only figured out my intentions today..."

Xiao Chenjing almost forgot about Guo Luosenyan, and couldn't help but wonder if Ruan Miaomiao was still thinking about him, so she had not responded yet.

Ruan Miaomiao had no idea that she had made Xiao Chenjing jealous again, nor did she know that he had found the reason for her hesitation in his mind.

"...If you have someone in your heart, I can also grant you a marriage during this period of time."

Xiao Chenjing pursed his lips tightly, he didn't even believe what he said.

At this moment, Ruan Miaomiao's mind suddenly woke up, "No, no! The only thing in my heart is His Majesty."

Xiao Chenjing tried hard to control the corners of his mouth and asked, "What about that person just now?"

"I just thought his voice sounded a bit like my younger brother, so I chatted with him a few times in the past few days, but it was just some daily chat."

Anyway, things have happened now. Even if there is something else to talk about, will Guo Luosenyan tell everything?

You have to know that he didn't even have the courage to stand up. The way he looked in front of Xiao Chenjing just now, he wanted to cut off all ties with Ruan Miaomiao.

Of course, that can't be blamed on him.

In Ruan Miaomiao and Mu Zian's plan, he was just a cannon fodder.

Xiao Chenjing didn't expect this to be the reason. He asked in surprise, "So you have a younger brother. Why have I never heard you mention him?"

If it were before, that kid Ruan Qi wouldn't be worth mentioning at all.

But she would not have said that unless she urgently needed an excuse.

A pair of beautiful eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of hazy light, and she looked at Xiao Chenjing with tears in her eyes.

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I didn't have a very good relationship with my brother before I entered the palace. I even bullied him all the time."

Xiao Chenjing felt a little distressed. Of course, he also had brothers and sisters, but with his status, he was destined to not have a strong and reliable family relationship.

Not to mention his half-brothers and sisters, even his biological parents who gave birth to him and raised him, when he was a child he relied more on the nanny who served him.

"But after entering the palace, even I don't understand myself. I actually started to miss the days when he was around. If I had known earlier, I would have bullied him less."

Ruan Miaomiao's words made Xiao Chenjing feel that he understood her a little better.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Bully less, not stop bullying? As for you, I envy you."

After talking things out, the relationship between the two began to become more natural.

After all, there was a group of people standing outside, so Xiao Chenjing waved his hand to signal that the meal could be served.

Otherwise a whole table of food will be wasted.
