“Your Majesty, I remember something.”

　　Cold Jun saw her panicked expression and loosened his grip, following her lead. But the feeling of her touch lingered on his hand for a long time.

“This concubine greets the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live, long live.”

　　Yun Shu’er got up and bowed to him, thinking: Why do I always run into the male lead when he comes to the cold palace…

“Concubine Yun, you don’t have to be so formal. You don’t want to move out of the cold palace, I will compensate you in other ways.”

　　Yun Shu’er raised her eyes in surprise. Cold Jun’s handsome and noble temperament was completely out of place in this cold palace. This reminded her of her beautiful neighbor, who was also like this. They were like people who were born to be in high positions.

“Thank you, Your Majesty. This concubine has enough food and clothing, there’s no need to waste…”

　　Before she could finish her polite refusal, Cold Jun interrupted her: “How can it be called a waste when it’s spent on you?”

　　Yun Shu’er didn’t know how to respond to him for a while, so she could only lower her head and stand aside.

　　Cold Jun looked around the cold palace. His gaze lingered on the vegetable patch for a few seconds. The lifeless cold palace seemed to be less desolate since she appeared.

“The flowers in the Tranquil Spring Garden are in full bloom. Today, Concubine Yun will go with me to admire the flowers.” Cold Jun wasn’t asking, he was informing her.

　　Yun Shu’er immediately refused: “Your Majesty, it’s not appropriate for this concubine to go.” It was too dangerous for a “daughter of a traitor” to be seen around like this. It was fine if the male lead was protecting her, but what if he wasn’t?

　　Cold Jun asked: “Why?”

　　She hesitated for a long time, wondering whether she should tell him or not, afraid that she would anger him.

　　The male lead’s gaze never left her, obviously waiting for her explanation.

　　She gritted her teeth and replied: “Your Majesty, this concubine is the daughter of a traitor. It’s… not good for me to appear by Your Majesty’s side often.”

　　“It’s fine.” He didn’t seem to understand the real meaning of Yun Shu’er’s refusal.

　　Yun Shu’er was afraid that she would be in danger. She didn’t want to get too close to the male lead, but seeing his attitude, it seemed like no one could change his decision.

　　She could only silently agree.

“Come with me. After admiring the flowers, we’ll have lunch together.”

　　As Cold Jun said this, he suddenly glanced at the closed palace door next to him, staring for a few seconds before looking away.

　　Yun Shu’er bowed to him: “Yes, Your Majesty.” She thought: Next time, I’ll never go out for a stroll again. I don’t know what kind of trouble I might get into.

　　She walked behind Cold Jun. His scent would waft over from time to time. It was different from her beautiful neighbor’s scent, but she liked to smell it.

　　She got on the sedan chair, which followed behind the Emperor’s sedan chair to the Tranquil Spring Garden.

　　The entire journey, Cold Jun and her didn’t have any communication. Yun Shu’er didn’t know whether the male lead was interested in her for a while or just a momentary impulse, but… the power seemed to be in his hands.

　　Yun Shu’er still didn’t understand why the male lead was interested in her. The memory of the male lead holding her that day flashed through her mind. She could clearly feel the… strangeness.

　　Her ears inexplicably turned red. She stopped herself from remembering that scene.

“Concubine Yun, we’ve arrived.” The eunuch carrying the sedan chair whispered to her.

　　An eunuch was about to help her down, but unexpectedly, Yun Shu’er stepped off the sedan chair directly, standing firmly on the ground.

　　Eunuch: “…” This kind of bold concubine, they had never seen before.

　　The flowers in the Tranquil Spring Garden were in full bloom. Especially under the sunlight, these blooming flowers were like a beautiful painting, making people unable to move their feet.

　　Yun Shu’er didn’t have the heart to admire the flowers. She quietly followed behind Cold Jun, not forgetting to keep a certain distance from him.

　　Cold Jun was always a man of few words, just like Qi Bo’er. He was a person who believed in the saying “Silence is golden”.

　　Cold Jun was a little unhappy. He had seen her laughing and talking with Brother Qi several times, but she was overly restrained when she was with him.

　　He stopped. Yun Shu’er was lost in thought and didn’t expect him to suddenly stop. Her forehead hit his broad back directly.

　　Although his back was a little hard, fortunately it didn’t hurt.

“Your Majesty…” She wanted to say something, covering her forehead. A deep, magnetic voice came from above her head.

“There is an empty palace near the Tranquil Spring Garden. Do you really want to stay in the cold palace forever?”

　　Yun Shu’er slowly bowed: “Your Majesty, this concubine is used to staying in the cold palace. Please, Your Majesty, grant me this.”

　　

　　Although Cold Jun was unhappy, he didn’t force her in the end. Seeing her so afraid of moving out of the cold palace, he didn’t want to bring up the topic again.

　　Yun Shu’er was relieved again that he didn’t force her to move out of the cold palace. Although this place was luxurious and lively, she preferred to stay in the cold palace.

　　She walked behind Cold Jun. She had accidentally bumped into his back just now, so she kept a certain distance from him now.

“Concubine Yun, do you know how to write poetry?” He asked.

　　Cold Jun seemed to be certain that she would write poetry. He waited quietly for her to compose a poem.

　　Yun Shu’er, of course, didn’t know how: “Your Majesty, this concubine doesn’t know how.”

　　She remembered the books she had read in her previous life. Those time travelers all knew how to write poetry. She was probably the most stupid time traveler.

　　Cold Jun stopped walking. His usually sharp gaze narrowed slightly: “Really don’t know how?”

　　Yun Shu’er nodded: “This concubine is stupid. I don’t know how to write poetry.”

　　Cold Jun was silent. Perhaps other concubines would compose poems and paint in front of him, showing off their talents and skills, while Concubine Yun did the opposite.

　　She was really as she said before, she had accepted her fate. She wouldn’t expect the Emperor’s favor.

　　Yun Shu’er had no idea that Cold Jun was thinking so much. She simply didn’t know how to write poetry.

“Are you so unhappy with me?” He stared at the brightly blooming flowers and asked in a low voice.

　　Yun Shu’er raised her eyes in confusion. Wasn’t he talking about writing poetry just now? Why did he suddenly change the subject?

“This concubine… doesn’t dislike Your Majesty.”

　　Cold Jun didn’t say anything again. His expression darkened a bit. No one could guess what he was thinking at this moment.

　　After a while, he suddenly said: “You hesitated just now.”

　　Yun Shu’er: “?”

　　She looked at Cold Jun with confusion: “Your Majesty, this concubine was just a little confused by your question.”
