Chapter 15 - My Grace, Please Trust Me This Time
n
n
nIt was already evening when Long Xiaoyuan woke up. He had slept for such a long time!
nHowever, his empress was still working. Soon, Shi Qingzhou turned his head around and said, “Your Majesty, you wake up…”
nLong Xiaoyuan tried to get up, which Shi Qingzhou helped him in a hurry. The former unexpectedly found that he had no longer a headache and that he felt a little comfortable…
n
n
nAlas! Was the Chinese Medicine always so useful?
n“Your Majesty, you’ve missed lunch. Are you hungry?” asked the latter.
nLong Xiaoyuan said with a smile while touching his stomach, “I don’t feel hungry before you ask me, but now I’m so hungry. I want to eat!”
nShi Qingzhou said with a smile, “OK, I’ll ask someone to serve dinner.”
n
n
nLong Xiaoyuan looked at Shi with an astounding expression like he saw a ghost.
nHis expression confused Shi Qingzhou who had stood up to ask someone to serve dinner. “Your Majesty? Why do you look at me in this way? What’s wrong with my face?”
nLong nodded his head instinctively. “Huh Huh!”
nShi Qingzhou felt more confused. “what’s up? Does my face get dirty?” Speaking of which, he wiped his face and then saw his palm, finding nothing dirty.
n
n
nLong Xiaoyuan stammered, “You smiled…just now.”
nAfter a pause, Shi Qingzhou said again with a faint smile, “Your Majesty, do you mean smile? I often smile.”
nLong Xiaoyuan said shaking his head, “Your smile was from your heart and beautiful just now. Now, your smile is acting.”
nShi Qingzhou almost failed to sustain his smile. “Your Majesty, what do you say?”
nNot until now did Long Xiaoyuan regain his consciousness. “Er,” he replied. He blinked his eyes and said slightly, “Come here, Qingzhou.”
nWhen the latter walked over, he said while pointing at the place in front of himself, “Sit down.”
n
n
nHe continued after Shi Qingzhou sat on the bedside, “Qingzhou, I mean it by saying that your smile was very beautiful…I know you don’t have much trust in my sincerity, but you can watch me. If I can fake it, it’ll be also a good thing if I can fake it a lifetime, won’t it?”
nThe faint smile on Shi’s face was gone totally. Shi stammered while unbelievably looking at Long, “A lifetime…”
nLong strongly nodded his head. “Yes, a lifetime! Qingzhou, please trust me this time? Only this time.”
nWith his lips trembling, Shi finally said while facing Long’s eyes, “Your Majesty, you’re over-worried. I’m yours, so I trust you, of course.”
nLong felt frustrated immediately but looked at the bright side upon seeing that Shi said those sincerely with sincere eyes. “Well…I’m hungry. Qingzhou, have you enjoyed your lunch?”
nShi said with a nod, “Yes, Your Majesty. Please rest assured.”
nLong nodded seeing this. Shortly, dinner was served. He got a good appetite and ate a lot, so did Shi. In the end, he even became a little full and thereby said, “Qingzhou, let’s have a walk in the Imperial Garden.”
nShi totally agreed with him. “Yes.”
n
n
nFollowed only by Zhou Qing, they directly headed for the Imperial Garden.
nThe Imperial Garden was ablaze with light at night, so were the candles in the lanterns. The Imperial Garden was rather beautiful.
nLong never came here in the evening, so he instantly felt delighted seeing the fine views. As he wanted to say something, he was stopped by a sharp voice.
n“Your Majesty, greetings! Long live Your Majesty!”
nHe looked over and narrowed his eyes. A soft female voice arose at the moment. “Your Majesty, greetings. May you happy and healthy!”
nHe said slightly, “Oh, Lady Rou…”
