"Master, you should think about what you want for dinner tonight!"
As the saying goes, those involved are muddled, while bystanders see things clearly. The Emperor truly doted on her master; how could her master not see it? Consort Yun was practically green with envy! She didn't even dare to meet that gaze!
Xia Ruqing thought for a moment, then said, "But I really feel like the Emperor looks at me strangely!"
Thinking about it, Xia Ruqing recalled Zhao Junyao's gaze, tender enough to make one melt, and then... she got goosebumps all over. Emperor, can't we just have fun without worries? Why are you scaring me, Your Majesty?! I know you are good to me, Your Majesty, but... is it necessary to be so... affectionately attentive? Ugh... goosebumps again.
At this, Zi Yue just shook her head. "Master, you're overthinking it. How could I not have noticed? Isn't it... the same as before?"
Xia Ruqing, interrupted by her, waved her hands. "Forget it, forget it. Let's just go eat!"
