“Concubine Yun, have you been waiting long?” The eunuch quickly placed the food box next to her.

“It’s fine.” She got up and picked up the food box, preparing to return to the palace.

The eunuch quickly called out to her: “Concubine Yun.”

Yun Shuran was just holding the food box in her hand when she heard the eunuch calling her, she stopped her movement of leaving.

“This servant has something to tell you.”

Yun Shuran: “What is it?”

“This servant heard that tomorrow the emperor and many concubines will come to Silent Lake to admire the lotus flowers, you must seize the opportunity.” The eunuch looked at her exceptionally beautiful face, imagining one day he could also become a “favorite” by a favored concubine.

Yun Shuran thought she had misheard, come to Silent Lake to admire the lotus flowers? It was only March or April, were the lotus flowers blooming so quickly?

And… come to the cold palace to enjoy the scenery? The male lead came up with a bad idea! She could even imagine the wonderful expressions of those concubines when they learned that they were going to enjoy the scenery in the cold palace.

She would definitely ignore everything tomorrow, she wouldn’t step out of the palace no matter what happened.

“Thank you for telling me.”

Yun Shuran politely replied, no matter how realistic this eunuch was, she wouldn’t show any displeasure towards him on the surface.

The male lead’s “attention” towards her would only be temporary, and she would spend the rest of her life in the cold palace, offending this eunuch would only have bad consequences and no benefits.

The eunuch smiled at her ingratiatingly, Yun Shuran wouldn’t lose herself because of a temporary favor, she was even more cautious in her actions.

She carried the lunch box back to the palace, it was almost evening now, the sunset of early summer dyed the entire sky, making her silhouette look like a beautiful painting.

It amazed the eunuch who hadn’t left yet, the eunuch thought to himself, this discarded concubine could really make the emperor fall for her.

What Yun Shuran didn’t expect was that when she had just finished taking a bath and was lying on the bed, a tall figure slowly walked towards her palace, she didn’t realize it until Qi Boshen was already near her bed.

The sudden tall figure startled her, she immediately relaxed when she saw that it was the beautiful neighbor.

“Sister, you startled me.” She smiled as she patted her chest nervously, he and the male lead both walked silently, they could often scare her.

Qi Boshen’s radiant and brilliant figure didn’t sit down, instead, he asked her: “Why didn’t you come to find me these days?”

In the darkness, his voice was less clear than before, it was more hoarse, it was a bit like… a man’s voice.

This fleeting doubt was immediately ignored by Yun Shuran, there was no need to question it, the beautiful neighbor couldn’t possibly be a man.

Yun Shuran held his finger, she pulled his hand and made him sit next to her.

“You were in a bad mood a few days ago, I thought you could be quiet, so I didn’t bother you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she hugged Qi Boshen’s arm, she smiled and asked: “Sister, did you miss me?”

Qi Boshen said coldly: “I thought you had the emperor, so you would dislike me.”

His voice was clear ，with a strong sourness, and a very obvious displeasure.

His words made Yun Shuran stunned, then she threw herself into his arms, she laughed so hard that her branches trembled.

“Sister, are you jealous of the emperor?”

Qi Boshen remained silent in the darkness, but his body was very honest, he let her cling to him, he hadn’t taken his eyes off her since he came in.

Seeing his silence, Yun Shuran laughed so hard that she trembled, he was really jealous.

“The emperor couldn’t possibly be interested in me, sister, don’t worry, you’re the most important person in my heart.”

Yun Shuran knew that he was really angry, so she softly coaxed him, she didn’t know that her words directly coaxed Qi Boshen’s heart.

“Really?”

His expression seemed to soften, he tightened his grip on her hand.

Yun Shuran lightly nodded her head: “Of course it’s true, don’t be angry anymore.”

Although he was angry, Yun Shuran was still quite happy, it was enough to show that the beautiful neighbor had her as a friend in his heart.

Yun Shuran lazily lay on his lap, she looked at him through the night.

Suddenly, the black shadow in front of her enlarged, his cold plum fragrance came over her, accompanied by his hot breath, her lips were gently kissed.

Yun Shuran was stunned again, when she came to her senses, Qi Boshen had already returned to his usual calmness.

She didn’t think it was inappropriate, she guessed that he wanted to kiss her cheek, but he couldn’t see clearly in the darkness and kissed her lips.

What surprised her was that the beautiful neighbor, who was so cold, would actually take the initiative to get close to her, it was so rare.

She reached out and hugged Qi Boshen’s waist, she pressed her face against his waist: “I like you so much, sister.”

It was good to have his company in the cold palace.

Qi Boshen lowered his eyes and watched her cling to him, unlike the previous few times when he stiffly pushed her away, he suppressed his heavy desire and felt the intimacy between them, he gently stroked her black hair and clung to her.

After a while, Yun Shuran fell asleep on his lap.

Qi Boshen didn’t move for a long time, after she fell asleep, he picked her up and laid her flat on the bed.

The man’s tall figure leaned over the bed, he reached out and brushed away the hair that was stuck to her face, he swallowed his already dry and tight throat, he slowly kissed her lips.

His thin lips pressed against her lips, he was already starting to be unsatisfied, he panted heavily and pried open her lips, when he touched her extremely soft tongue, Qi Boshen’s breath suddenly caught, it was like finding water in the desert, his only reason completely collapsed.

He restrained himself and swallowed her tongue, he kissed her gently and tenderly, but it was even more unbearable.

Qi Boshen’s hands, which were interlocked with hers, unconsciously tightened their grip, Yun Shuran’s hands were held a little painfully, and she couldn’t breathe properly, she frowned as if she was about to wake up.

He released her tongue, a silver thread in the darkness quickly disappeared.

Yun Shuran no longer felt restrained, she hummed twice and fell asleep again, Qi Boshen didn’t kiss her anymore, he sat by the bed and lowered his eyes to stare at her for a long time.

She didn’t know when Qi Boshen left that night.
