Yu Jingchen saw this and didn't insist. Why was her skin still so thin?
"Alright, if you don't want me to see, then I won't," Yu Jingchen didn't force her. Nan Ziyun's small face remained flushed, not recovering.
"The spring hunt is still half a month away. We can start preparing earlier. Tell me if you need anything, and I'll have people prepare it for you," Yu Jingchen changed the subject.
"Okay," Nan Ziyun agreed, but she wondered what needed to be prepared for the spring hunt.
"Forget it, you don't need to worry about these things. I'll have people prepare everything for you," Yu Jingchen felt that if Nan Ziyun prepared them herself, many situations might arise.
"Okay," Nan Ziyun agreed very readily. She had no objections; it was good not to have to do it herself. But suddenly thinking of something, Nan Ziyun called out, "Your Majesty..."
"Hmm? What do you want to say?" Yu Jingchen sat beside Nan Ziyun and pulled her into his embrace.
"I heard that Consort Bai... didn't come to pay respects today, and they said that Consort Bai couldn't stand up after attending to you yesterday..." Nan Ziyun hesitated several times.
Yu Jingchen raised an eyebrow at this. "What is Yun'er trying to say? Don't you know where I was yesterday? Besides... didn't Yun'er personally verify it last night?" The last sentence was spoken by Yu Jingchen leaning close to Nan Ziyun's ear.
"Has Yun'er been learning bad things recently? Looking at and learning things she shouldn't know behind my back?" Yu Jingchen teased her intentionally.
"I haven't. Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense..." Nan Ziyun's face turned red at Yu Jingchen's words.
Yu Jingchen chuckled. "Still so easily teased. Nothing happened between her and me last night. Yun'er, don't overthink it." Yu Jingchen didn't reveal what happened yesterday, fearing Nan Ziyun would think he was too cruel, especially given the sensitive nature of those events.
Nan Ziyun pouted but didn't press further. However...
"Whom will Your Majesty summon today?" Nan Ziyun's question seemed curious, but the emotion in her eyes was undeniable.
Yu Jingchen found Nan Ziyun's expression quite amusing, so he decided to tease her.
"Does Yun'er wish to personally verify every time I summon someone else?" As he spoke, he gently bit Nan Ziyun's ear. Nan Ziyun shivered and instinctively tried to dodge, but because she was completely held within Yu Jingchen's embrace, she couldn't escape.
"It tickles~" Nan Ziyun's voice was soft.
"But I recall yesterday you said it hurt?" Yu Jingchen held Nan Ziyun tighter.
"You also said you didn't want any more." Yu Jingchen rested his forehead against Nan Ziyun's.
"Your Majesty~" Nan Ziyun didn't want to hear any more.
"Pleading won't work. Yun'er really cried out in pain yesterday, and you told me you didn't want any more... What can be done if that can't be changed? Unless... we do it again, and this time Yun'er will endure it without speaking." Yu Jingchen's hand rubbed Nan Ziyun's lips.
Nan Ziyun was startled by Yu Jingchen's words. Again? But it was daytime, and...
"I still hurt..." Nan Ziyun said pitifully.
"Heh, how can Nan Nan be so cute?" Yu Jingchen pulled away from Nan Ziyun and gently patted her forehead.
