Long Live Your Majesty

Chapter 6.1: Empress Responsibility

When she came to Jing Xi palace, she could smell the strong smell of medicine, and inexplicably bitter feelings spread in her heart.

Safely tight lips, waving to let the palace people do not speak, and quietly retreat.

"Taijun, you must drink the medicine. You should cherish your body." Li Hong's imploring voice pierced her ears.

Then came a cough, a man's weak tone: "get out! I'm fine. "

Her tight lips almost become a line, An Ran let Xia Ming and others wait in the outer hall, she make a light step to the inner hall.

When she got to the bedside, her eyes suddenly bumped into those deep black eyes. As if she had been sucked into two black holes, she could not see the end, and she could not move her eyes away.

The man on the bed looks pale. Although he is ill, he does not weaken his demeanor at all. On the contrary, he makes people feel pity.

The man looked away a little flustered, An Ran just slightly regained her mind. Seeing Li Hong holding the medicine, she frowned slightly: " since you are ill, why don't you take medicine? "

Xu Zizhen said dispiritedly, "there is no need to waste these precious herbs."

An Ran couldn't hear him say that. She grabbed the medicine bowl in Li Hong's hand and asked him to step back and sit by the bed: "you are not a broken flower, Now that I've done it, I'll be responsible to the end. Although I can't change it for a while, I will try my best. I can't abandon you. And what's more important than living, "she said after a pause." do you hate me? "

Xu Zizhen raised his eyes in amazement: "I dare not."

"You dare not?" An Ran reluctantly shakes her head, and her heart was somewhat complicated.

Xu Zizhen quickly said, "no, I don't hate your majesty."

Hearing this, An Ran relieved and continued to comfort  him patiently: "since you don't hate me, try to accept it as I do! Although it may be a little difficult for you, at first I promised Duke Xu to let you go out of the palace to get married. You don't want to. Now it's heaven's will! You and I are all people who spend the rest of their lives in this palace. How about trying to be together? In any case, there is no lack of the replacement of the dead mother and daughter in all dynasties. As long as they are not in the same line, they will not be criticized. I may not be the best, but I will treat you well. "

Xu Zizhen looked at her gentle and watery appearance, and shuddered at the tip of his heart. He thought of her weak and helpless appearance under himself that night. He lowered his eyes slightly and asked hesitantly, "we,  Is that ok? "

An Ran didn't speak, just nodded, gently scooped up a spoon of medicine and blew it to his lips.

Xu Zizhen looked at her for a long time before he started to drink.

The two spent almost half of the time in the process of feeding and drinking. When he finished, she put the medicine bowl on the table beside him safely, and took out a rose candy from her lapel and handed it to his lips.

When Xu Zizhen swallows the candy, her lips gently brush her fingertips. She quickly retracts her hands like an electric shock, and a strange feeling surges into her heart.

Xu Zizhen sensed her reaction, the smile flashed in his eyes, and the sweet taste in his mouth spread. He didn't like the sweet taste, but he could only bear it. Fortunately, the candy was not big, and it melted at the entrance.

Next, An Ran accompanied him for a chat and dinner. She was about to return to her palace when he saw Li Hong, so she stop her intention. It occurred to her that she had said that she would try to accept him, but now she want to left him alone. She think about it.

So, she said to Li Hong, " send word to Xia Ming, I will rest in Jingxi palace tonight."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" said Li Hong with a smile

...

Although she talked about staying in Jingxi palace, she still feel it's difficult. Because she must sleep with the man , even if she has slept with him once.

After the servant made the bed, and they bathed one after another. The servant retreated, and they fell into silence again.

Xu Zizhen lowered his eyebrows and gathered his eyes. He was sitting on the bed in a white middle coat, with his back straight and his hands folded on his knees. His long black hair was only pulled up by a green jade hairpin. The candle light flickered and the light moved on his face, which made his face more and more beautiful.

An Ran coughs to cover up her discomfort, and slowly walks to him: "you, I will call Zizhen from now on "

Long eyelashes, like a small fan, flutter slightly on the eyelids. Xu Zizhen doesn't speak but nods.

An Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart was so empty that she met such a shy and docile man.

"It's still early. Let's have a chat!" She said, without waiting for his answer, she asked, "what do you do in your daily life?"

"Reading books, appreciating flowers and doing some embroidery are not worth mentioning." Xu Zizhen answers with a soft voice.

"Can you embroider?" An Ran was a little surprised.

Xu Zizhen was puzzled: "what's your majesty saying? Isn't embroidery something that every man needs to know?"

An Ran smacks her mouth, almost forgetting that this is the female dynasty. It's normal for men to do embroidery.

Seeing that she was in a trance, Xu Zizhen rarely took the initiative to say, "if your majesty likes it, Zizhen can embroider a purse for you." As for the clothes, his embroidery is not outstanding.

An Ran had never thought that someone would make a purse for her. She was flattered and said, "will it trouble you?"

"Of course not. It's a great honor to make a purse for your majesty. What color and design do you like?"

An Ran thought: "I don't know much about that. Do what you like!" She was relieved to see that he looked better.

The two chatted for a while and played two chess games. They thought that he could not be too tired before he was cured. They took the chess pieces: "it's not early, let's sleep! "
