Chapter 436: The Most Important Person in His Heart
The Emperor sitting with his back straight in the dragon throne had a glance at the elegant Consort Jiang standing to his side with her hands, one above the other and her eyes focusing on the expenses report of the inner palace and the proposal for the twins’ first birth day celebrations.
Her long lashed were fluttering restlessly and her fingers got intertwined with each other as if she is trying to hold something back as time passed. He knew she already noticed the broken shards in the floor.
What are you planning Hanmi dear?
"Speak", the Emperor got restless by her body language that screamed she had something to say but her still holding back.
The moment he turned to look at her, Consort Jiang stretched her hand and in the end her hands ended up holding his cheek.
The warmth from her hand spread from his cheek to his heart but his eyes were sharp as he always maintained it that way to avoid being played by others.
"I... I..", she stuttered as she was lost for words.
Consort Jiang upon the moment she entered the room, noticed the small cut in his neck couldn’t help but get worried and tried to take a good look at it. But she as a Consort cannot inappropriately touch the Emperor and so she held herself back.
At least, tried to hold herself back.
In the end and she could not and when she held her hand to check the wound, his cheek came to her hand is resting there now.
’His skin is a bit... Different than mine... Not so soft, is it? Is it because he is a man? Wait... Only his jaw seems a bit rough,... Coarse... Is it because of beard growth? His upper cheek is soft... So, this is how a man’ s face feels like, huh? Wow! No matter how close I look, he still is handsome’
Jiang Hanmi, who is in contact with a man’s face for the first time, unbeknown to herself was carelessly caressing the Emperor’s face when she felt a strong hold by her wrist.
