Chapter 21 Imported Grapes
"Qingyun, do you know what imported grapes are?"

As expected, there were snacks in Tan Qingyun's lunch box, including the extremely rare ice grapes.

It’s cool and refreshing, and tastes a bit like ice cream in my previous life, but it’s much better than ice cream.

Half an hour later, Lu Changjing held Tan Qingyun in his arms and asked seriously.

"Imported grapes, I don't know." Tan Qingyun said in surprise.

Lu Changjing pinched a snow grape and put it in his mouth, then looked at Tan Qingyun and said, "This is imported grapes."

"Hehe, I like eating imported grapes." Tan Qingyun's little head leaned over and took the imported grapes from Lu Changjing's mouth, but was quickly snatched away and eaten by Lu Changjing again.

The two of them started playing and soon finished eating most of the ice grapes on the first layer of the food box.

When there were only a few left, a cold snort came from my ear.

"Brother Emperor, the imported grapes are so delicious, why not let me try some too."

The voice was cold and filled with anger, yet quite familiar.

Lu Changjing and Tan Qingyun quickly stood up and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

But Lin Yixin's brows were furrowed, and her eyes were flashing with dissatisfaction and anger.

The way she looked at Lu Changjing was like she was looking at Chen Shimei, and her delicate little face turned a little blue.

He bared his white teeth, as if he was ready to rush over and bite Lu Changjing at any time.

And deep in his pupils, Lu Changjing discovered a hint of doubt.

There is no time to think too much. Now is not the time to expose yourself, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.

He strode to Lin Yixin, and before she could react, he hugged her in his arms and handed her the imported grapes: "If Sister Xin wants to eat, of course you can."

"Woo woo..." Lin Yixin widened her eyes in shock, as if she didn't understand what was happening, but she still mechanically chewed the imported grapes and ate them.

She was a little dumbfounded. Although she had thought about this kind of scene before, she didn't expect that this day would come so soon and so urgently, especially under such circumstances.

Seeing Lin Yixin being suppressed by Lu Changjing, Tan Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly slipped out of the imperial study to prevent Lin Yixin from causing trouble for her.

Although both of them were concubines and had similar ranks, Lin Yixin grew up with the emperor, and her father was the world-famous King Heluo.

Tan Qingyun's father is just a businessman who is rich enough to rival a country, so his status is naturally not as high as Lin Yixin's.

After a long while, Lu Changjing looked at Lin Yixin, whose face was flushed, and explained to her: "Qingyun also accidentally discovered the skylight of the imperial study, so she sneaked in. I didn't ask her to come here."

"Then why didn't you tell me about this, so that I could come to see the emperor brother earlier." Lin Yixin was still a little angry.

Lu Changjing said helplessly: "We haven't seen each other for a long time since you left last time. How could I have the chance to tell you?"

"Can't you just come to me, or let someone else tell me?" Lin Yixin said coquettishly.

Lu Changjing smiled bitterly and apologized: "I wanted to, but Eunuch Cao was watching me closely, and I was afraid I couldn't control myself. If I failed, all these years of practice would be wasted. It's all my fault, and I hope Sister Xin will forgive me."

"Aren't you afraid of being ruined by being with Sister Qingyun?" Lin Yixin snorted.

Lu Changjing leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Qingyun is not as pretty as you." Men's words are deceiving, and sometimes you have to learn how to use them.

"That's about right." When Lin Yixin heard Lu Changjing say that she was prettier than Tan Qingyun, she smiled happily and her dissatisfaction with Tan Qingyun was reduced a lot.

I was originally thinking about causing trouble for Tan Qingyun after I got out, but now I don’t have that mind anymore.

As expected, she had a higher status in the emperor's heart and was more charming. She was definitely not comparable to Tan Qingyun, a fool who acted like a doll.

Lu Changjing pretended to be helpless and said, "Alas, it's actually very hard for me to endure it. I have been practicing Cang Yang Technique for so many years, but I have never come into contact with a woman."

"Now the pure Yang energy in my body is getting stronger and stronger, it's almost unbearable. Qingyun can be regarded as helping me relieve it. In fact, there is nothing too extreme between us."

"Brother Emperor, I understand you. I can help you relieve the pain in the future. You don't have to always look for Sister Qingyun." Lin Yixin no longer had any grudges against Lu Changjing. She hugged his neck and said with heartache.

As for the previous suspicions, they have long disappeared without a trace.

After all, since she started living with the emperor, she has never seen him get close to other women.

The scene of Lu Changjing and Tan Qingyun feeding each other imported grapes just now made her feel like she was struck by lightning, and at the same time she also became suspicious.

But after this intimate communication with the imported grapes, coupled with Lu Changjing's explanation, she finally dispelled her doubts.

I secretly thought that what my brother the emperor said was true. I haven't visited the harem for so many years and I have been suppressing my desires. It is inevitable that there will be an outburst.

It is already amazing that I can still maintain my virginity.

She knew the charm of the concubines in the harem best. Even a woman like her felt moved, let alone her brother the emperor.

So he didn't pursue the matter any further. Instead, he turned the remaining grapes into imported grapes and fed them to Lu Changjing out of heartache, in order to comfort his brother the emperor's wounded heart.

When Lin Yixin dispelled her suspicion about Lu Changjing, Lu Changjing, who was happily enjoying the imported grapes, had no idea that someone had already become suspicious of him.

Looking in the direction of the imperial study in the distance, Concubine Yi Zhou Ruolan's mind kept reminiscing about her previous meeting with Lu Changjing.

“It’s so strange, I always feel that Your Majesty is different from before.

"In the past, whenever I approached His Majesty, he always gave me a feeling of being kept away from strangers, especially us concubines. He would avoid us as much as possible, fearing that we would disrupt his practice."

"And I don't know why, but I always feel that His Majesty is too cold, as if he never cares about anyone, including us concubines."

"But this time when I went to see His Majesty, I didn't feel any of those feelings anymore. Instead, I felt a sense of intimacy, and no longer felt cold. Could it be that His Majesty has changed his style of doing things because the Cang Yang Technique is about to be perfected?"

"But isn't this a bit too big of a change?"

……

Thinking of this, Zhou Ruolan's eyebrows frowned again. She had no idea that the Emperor, who seemed cold and unfriendly to her, was now eating an imported grape with his good sister Lin Yixin, smiling happily.

If he knew, I'm afraid Zhou Ruolan would not only be suspicious, but might also do something.

In the imperial study, Lin Yixin, who had just finished eating the imported grapes, opened the food box next to her eagerly, wanting to see what other goodies were inside.

It would be even better if it could be imported.
