The Enchanting Imperial Concubine (Book 2)

Chapter 240 - Reminder

"Your Majesty, why are you still angry? I'm just apologizing to you!"

In the Yuxiu Pavilion, a certain enchantress was tugging at the emperor's sleeve, acting cute.  

"Hmph, how can a dignified emperor like me not be angry?" Ning Chen turned his head away.  

Ye Yun twisted her small waist, circled back in front of him, and stretched out her hands, looking at him pitifully.  

"Your Majesty, I'm so scared by your anger that my heart has turned cold, and my hands are freezing. Please touch them."  

Those delicate little hands waved right under his nose, but Ning Chen glanced at them and turned his head again, refusing to give in.  

Seeing that her initial approach didn't work, Ye Yun raised her eyebrows and quickly pressed her cold hand against Ning Chen's face.  

The cold touch was no joke, and it made Ning Chen furrow his brows.  

"Why are your hands so cold? Is it because you're wearing too thin a garment?"  

Ultimately soft-hearted, he reached out and held her delicate hand.  

Ye Yun smiled, "I've been cooped up in the house all this time, so I didn't realize the wind was strong in the garden. This skirt I'm wearing today is indeed a bit thin, but Your Majesty's hand is warm."  

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Quickly put on an extra layer, don't catch a cold," Ning Chen said.  

He hadn't really been angry; a little teasing was just for fun.  

Before long, Ye Yun came out in a wisteria purple dress.  

Ning Chen beckoned her to come closer and sit down.  

"Make me some tea; it's been a while since I had the tea you made."

Here's the translation:

---

"It really has been a while since I've made tea. I'm usually quite lazy, so I don't know if my skills have gotten rusty. Your Majesty, please don't hold it against me," Ye Yun said with a smile.  

Huiyue was standing by and immediately took out the tea set.  

The two of them began to brew tea by the window in the room.  

This was a set of purple clay tea utensils, and the small pot was especially cute, bubbling away on the stove.  

Ning Chen nibbled on a peony roll while watching Ye Yun's graceful movements, feeling extremely comfortable.  

This must be what it's like to have a beautiful companion.  

However, he had come for a brief respite; after spending the whole morning, he had lunch in the Yuxiu Pavilion but still had to return to review the memorials.  

It was already November, and the end of the year was always busier.  

Seeing the faint dark circles under his eyes, Ye Yun insisted that he take a nap for more than half an hour.  

Sure enough, after sleeping for a while, he felt much more refreshed when he woke up.  

As he was leaving, Ye Yun personally helped him adjust his clothes while quietly nagging.  

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. National affairs are busy, but they can't compare to your health. Don't stay up late all the time; it not only harms your health but also strains your eyes."
