Chapter 1750: Chapter 1747: Longevity Festival
Ye Muyu listened to his orderly arrangements and slowly let go of her worries. She nodded, “Alright, let’s do it this way.”
“Then now, you should fulfill your promise to me…” Chu Heng hadn’t finished speaking, just as the servants brought the meal.
Ye Muyu had been waiting for news all afternoon and hadn’t really rested, let alone had dinner. Only now did she feel a bit hungry: “I want to eat, I’m so hungry.”
Chu Heng’s words got stuck in his throat, a bit aggrieved, but he didn’t stop her. He directly called for the servants to bring in the food.
Ye Muyu was indeed hungry, eating very earnestly, not forgetting to serve Chu Heng some dishes and gave him a pleasing smile.
This coquettish cute demeanor made Chu Heng adore her immensely. The bit of jealousy in his heart instantly vanished, leaving only sweet happiness. After all, Ah Yu was his; what was the point of caring about outsiders who could only watch from the side?
After finishing eating, Ye Muyu noticed that Chu Heng’s mood had improved significantly. She was also quite happy, unable to sleep, and wanting to digest, she simply found a book to read aloud to Chu Heng.
But after reading for a while, she lazily lay on the soft couch, snuggled into Chu Heng’s arms, and placed the book in his hands: After putting it in place, she tugged at his clothes and softly urged him to read to her.
They were some interesting local chronicles, and Ye Muyu just listened to them as stories.
Chu Heng was initially dealing with official duties. Hearing her words, he felt a bit helpless and pinched her ear: “When did you become so coquettish?”
“I’m asking you, not being coquettish,” Ye Muyu firmly denied, yet still urged him to read.
How could Chu Heng not know her nature? Now that they were familiar with each other, she was a bit spoiled, but thinking that this temperament was only displayed in front of him made Chu Heng happy. Although he verbally disagreed, his actions were very sincere.
He continued reading the next content.
Chu Heng’s voice was very pleasant, deep and mellow, making it incredibly sensual to hear. Listening to him read was a sheer delight.
Listening to him, Ye Muyu felt particularly comfortable.
In the end, she didn’t know when she fell asleep in his arms.
Chu Heng read for quite a while, seeing that the person in his arms had stopped asking about the content. Looking down, he saw that Ye Muyu was already asleep. He was both helpless and amused, lightly pressing her lips before standing up to carry her to bed.
Ye Muyu was sleeping soundly, turned over, and continued to sleep, without waking up at all, this little heartless appearance made Chu Heng laugh.
He extinguished two lamps, leaving only a single light burning. Chu Heng wrote a secret message, pushed open the window, and in a moment, a secret guard appeared outside the window.
He handed the secret message to the person, instructed them on the task, then closed the window, leaving just a crack. The secret guard outside had already vanished.
After handling the last of his official duties, Chu Heng blew out the oil lamp, walked to the bed, removed his shoes, and slowly lay down.
Ye Muyu instinctively snuggled into his arms.
Chu Heng held her, and they quickly fell asleep.
The next morning.
Ye Muyu woke up to find that Chu Heng had already gone to the yamen.
She yawned and called Su Mei in to do her hair.
Although the Dowager Empress’s Longevity Banquet mainly hosted a feast in the afternoon, they probably needed to enter the palace in the morning. This birthday celebration was to be grand, and any officials of note in the capital, along with the female family members of their households, needed to attend,
