Chapter 866 Huanbi 10

She still didn't dare to look up at him, her eyes always fixed on the spread out rice paper and the freshly applied ink.

Yinzhen took Huanbi's soft little hand and gently placed it on his big hand. The warm touch moved his heart. Huanbi's body trembled slightly, but she did not break free. She felt a warm current spread from his palm to her whole body, and her cheeks could not help but flush.

"Hold the pen steadily and use even force." Yinzhen's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it had some kind of magic, which made Huanbi's heart beat faster involuntarily. He held her hand and slowly wrote the word "Bi" on the rice paper, with smooth strokes and vigorous and powerful handwriting.

"Your Majesty..." Huanbi's voice was as thin as a mosquito, with a barely perceptible tremor. She secretly raised her eyes and looked at Yinzhen's focused profile. His angular outline looked even more handsome under the candlelight, and she was a little dazed for a moment.

Yinzhen noticed her gaze, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Yinzhen chuckled, held her hand and wrote another word "Zhen". The two names appeared side by side on the rice paper, as if it was some kind of foreshadowing, causing a strange ripple in Huanbi's heart.

"Do you remember these two words?" Yinzhen's voice was low and ambiguous, like the whispers between lovers, making Huanbi's ears red.

"Remember...remember." Huanbi's voice was a little stammering, her heart was beating like a deer, and she didn't know what to do.

Su Peisheng stood aside with his hands down, watching the emperor's heart, but couldn't help but think: What's wrong with the emperor today? He is so intimate with Huanbi, could it be...

He secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Yinzhen, and seeing a gentle smile between his eyebrows, he felt even more confused.

The Emperor has always been obsessed with Empress Chunyuan. Among the three thousand beauties in the harem, only Concubine Wan can gain some favor from him. But it is really puzzling that he treats Huanbi like this today.

Could it be that this girl really has something extraordinary about her?

Huanbi felt hot all over, and the emperor's breath sprayed on her ears, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She tried hard to suppress the throbbing in her heart, lowered her head, and did not dare to look into Yinzhen's eyes.

She was not ignorant of the ways of the world, so she naturally understood what this meant.

Huanbi was looking forward to it very much. This was her chance, a chance to surpass Zhen Huan and a chance to avenge her mother.

Huanbi took a deep breath, and a stubborn light flashed in her lowered eyes. Her fingertips flickered slightly in her sleeves, as if she was testing, or evaluating the chips of this game.

"Your Majesty." She slightly opened her red lips, as if she was brewing something between the words.

"I am stupid, I remember the word, but why do you put them side by side?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yinzhen's lips. He lowered his head to look at the two words on the paper, and slowly stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips: "Because I am willing."

This sentence was short but carried the arrogance and casualness of a supreme ruler. To Huanbi's ears it sounded like a morning bell and an evening drum, striking at her heartstrings.

Yinzhen's low voice lingered in her ears. She quickly suppressed her emotions and lowered her eyelids to hide the waves in her eyes.

"If your Majesty is pleased, I will..." She paused deliberately for a moment before continuing with a soft smile.

“How dare I not keep it in mind.”

Yinzhen narrowed his eyes. That momentary pause and Huanbi's unhesitating response both felt meaningful to him.

She was not like the other palace maids who only knew how to shrink and obey, but she did not overstep the line. This was just the right measure, pleasing him while not making him wary.

"You are quite clever." He sighed casually, loosening her hand slightly, making Huanbi feel empty in her palm, and she felt a sense of inexplicable loss. However, the next moment, he suddenly leaned forward and gently lifted her chin with his fingertips.

"Raise your head and let me see." Yinzhen's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but there was an unquestionable tone in his deep and magnetic voice.

Huanbi's heart trembled, her eyes flickered slightly, but she raised her head with a calm face. She knew that her every smile, every movement and every silence at this moment were the key to the game. Yinzhen was more dangerous than she thought, but in the danger, everything she coveted was also hidden.

"Yes, you are indeed beautiful. Why didn't I notice that you are so beautiful before? Are you deliberately covering your face?"

Huanbi was stunned for a moment, then she bent down and said shyly, "Your Majesty, I am just a servant. If it weren't for your kindness today, how could I dare to talk about my appearance?"

Her voice was soft, yet trembling with a subtle feeling, like the water in a lake after the rain, deep and captivating.

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and stared at the pretty face in front of him. Her actions and words, every word and sentence, were like jade that had been carefully placed after thousands of hammers and forgings. At first glance, it seemed natural and interesting, but in fact it was clever and ingenious.

He had originally wanted to tease her in a humorous way, but seeing Huanbi's unperturbed look, he felt that this girl was really interesting.

"A life of servant?" he repeated thoughtfully, his low voice carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"In that case, today I want to discuss in detail what it means to be a servant." His fingers gently stroked her chin, but the smile did not reach her eyes, as if he was testing the depth of her true ability.

Huanbi felt a chill in her heart, knowing that she might be successful in trying to please the emperor for the time being, but to escape unscathed from the emperor's gaze was far from something she could handle simply by lowering her head and keeping aplomb.

She raised her head, her eyes full of smiles, and took a step forward, but her posture remained reserved and proper. Many complex emotions flashed through her eyes, but they all turned into a respectful smile.

"I dare not deceive you. God did not give me beauty like a flower, so I can only bury my beauty in the dust. Today, because of your grace, I have the opportunity to look up and see the light."

She paused, and seemed to intentionally, yet unintentionally, emphasize the words "because of the emperor's favor".

Yinzhen stared at her, his eyes gradually showing a bit of interest that he had not noticed. He raised his hand and hooked a strand of her black hair that did not reach her shoulders, and casually twisted it between his fingers, his voice slightly hoarse: "You look like a blooming orchid, thinking that no one appreciates you because you live in a secluded valley, but you don't know that I appreciate the elegance of such a low place the most."

Although these words were meant to flatter her, they also added a bit of ambiguity. Huanbi's heart suddenly tightened, and before the blush on her face faded away, she heard Su Peisheng cough lightly from behind.

It seemed like an intentional reminder, but also seemed to have just disturbed the charming atmosphere at the moment.

"Your Majesty..." Su Peisheng came closer with his head lowered, leaning forward and saying, "It's getting late, it's time to turn over the cards."
