With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly

Shang Yue stood up only after most of the guests had left.

"Prime Minister, Madam, I am leaving too."

Although he was looking at Nan Hui when he spoke, his peripheral vision was always on Nan Yan.

Nan Yan held back her laughter and pretended to be expressionless and not look at him.

Nan Hui thought to himself that the emperor was too polite, and said, "Your Majesty, take care."

Shang Yue left disappointed.

Not only did he conceal his identity, he also sneaked into her bedroom at night, and fled after being discovered by her.

His image must be very bad in her mind now.

No, he had to find a way to explain it clearly.

Shang Yue returned to the palace with a heavy heart.

?

Ruan Yurou hadn't hosted such a big banquet for a long time. After a day, she felt exhausted.

Nan Yan saw that she looked tired, so she walked over to support her and said, "Mom, if you are tired, go and rest. Your daughter is here!"

Chen Ruolan on the side also said: "Aunt, there's me! I'll help Yan'er sort it out."

Since Chen Ruolan married Ruan Sui'an, she has taken over the household affairs of the mansion and has also hosted several banquets.

Ruan Yurou felt relieved knowing that she was helping Nan Yan.

She patted Chen Ruolan on the shoulder and said, "Ruolan, thank you for your hard work."

"Aunt, it's too polite of you to say that." Chen Ruolan said with a smile, "You've been busy all day, go and have a rest!"

Chen Ruolan helped Nan Yan put everything in order.

Today's banquet was prepared for Nan Yan, and the gifts sent by various families were all stored in Nan Yan's warehouse.

Only the jewelry given by Shang Yue was placed in Nan Yan's room.

Chen Ruolan took a look at the jewelry and couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being a gift from the emperor. I have never seen green jadeite with such pure color and texture."

My uncle is indeed the most valued courtier by the emperor. His treatment is different and can be said to be unique.

After dinner, Nan Hui looked at his daughter and said, "Yan'er, have the things the emperor sent today been put in the warehouse?"

Although Nan Yan didn't know why Nan Hui asked this, she still answered truthfully: "No, it's in my room. The jewelry looks valuable, and I'm afraid it will get bumped if I keep it in the storeroom."

In fact, she thought it looked good and planned to try it on when she got home that night.

"Then your mother and I will go with you to take a look."

Nan Yan nodded doubtfully.

Nan Hui looked at the set of green jade jewelry carefully for a while before he looked up and nodded at Ruan Yurou.

Then he said to Nan Yan: "Yan'er, if Dad is not mistaken, this is the only set of green jade jewelry offered by Nan Kingdom last year. You must keep it well."

When Nan Yan heard this, her first reaction was that there was no demand for it.

She thought it was expensive, but she never thought it would be so expensive!

It's so precious, she would be sad if it got covered in dust.

"Dad, don't worry, I will keep it well."

Except for Nan Yan, everyone thought that Shang Yue gave jewelry to Nan Yan because he valued Nan Hui, even Nan Hui and Ruan Yurou thought so.

At this time, Nan Hui thought to himself that since the emperor valued him so much, he had to be more loyal to the emperor and help him solve his problems.

late at night.

Shang Yue sneaked into Nan Yan's boudoir again, but his mood was different from before.

In the past, he was happy, expectant, and nervous. But today, he was only feeling uneasy.

He stopped about five or six feet away from the bed and whispered, "Miss Nan, are you asleep?"

Nan Yan opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, then got out of bed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Today, Nan Yan was wearing a piece of clothing over her pajamas, which showed that she knew someone was coming.

Shang Yue's lips were instantly pursed into a straight line. He didn't like her being so polite.

"No need to be polite."

After Nan Yan stood up, she walked over in her pajamas and stopped beside the table. "Your Majesty, please sit down and have a cup of tea first."

Shang Yue glanced at Nan Yan, walked over and sat down. He watched her slender white hands pick up the teapot, slowly pour a cup of tea, and hold the cup in both hands and place it in front of him.

Her hands were like mutton-fat jade, even smoother and more delicate than the white jade teacup in her hands. Her every move was pleasing to the eye.

"Miss Nan, you don't have to stand. Please sit down."

Nan Yan didn't hesitate and sat down opposite Shang Yue. She didn't want to stand and talk all the time.

Shang Yue didn't say anything, and she wasn't in a hurry either, just waiting for him to speak.

Shang Yue picked up the teacup and took a few sips. He could still smell the faint fragrance she had left on the teacup.

This cup of tea tonight...seems to be particularly to his taste.

Putting down the teacup, he straightened his body calmly, coughed lightly and said, "I went to Jinling for important matters, and my identity cannot be exposed, so I did not reveal my true identity."

"Yes, I know. Your Majesty has many difficulties, so you don't need to explain them to me."

Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him.

There was not much expression on her face, she was very calm, and it was hard to guess what her mood was.

The more you look at a beauty under the light, the more beautiful she becomes.

The white pearl light shone on her body. Her little face was white, her black hair was draped over her, and her thin body looked somewhat pitiful, which once again made his heart boil.

Shang Yue was stunned for a moment.

In the past, he thought that a person's appearance was just a shell and was not important at all. But today, he realized that he was also an ordinary person and had no resistance to her.

"Miss Nan..." He paused, "Miss Nan, do you have anything to say to me? Or, do you have anything to ask me?"

Nan Yan thought about the last time she scared Shang Yue away and he didn't come for a few days, and shook her head, "No."

"Then... I'll leave first. You've been tired today, so go to bed early."

"Your Majesty." Nan Yan suddenly called Shang Yue.

Shang Yue stopped and turned around.

She looked at him and asked gently and calmly, "Does the emperor have anything else to say?"

Her eyes were as bright as water, as if they could bewitch people. Shang Yue almost blurted out "I like you", but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Nothing."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Nan Yan's eyes, but soon a smile appeared on her face, "I have something to say."

Shang Yue's heart tightened. He stood quietly, clenching his hands tightly at his sides.

"I really like the jewelry the emperor gave me today." She turned and walked towards the bed, and said, "Then your Majesty, take care."

Didn't she ask him why he came to her boudoir?

Shang Yue looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he said nothing and turned around and left.

After Shang Yue left, Nan Yan picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it on the bed again.

"Ahhh... this Shang Yue, why is he so slow? He really doesn't match his appearance at all."

"Oh! With his dithering appearance, when can I start a daily relationship?"

Nan Yan originally wanted to experience the joy of being pursued, but now it seems that it is so far away!

Fortunately, Yinling, who was on night watch, was sleeping soundly, otherwise Nanyan would not have dared to make any big moves.
