"Don't ask so openly..."

Lu Fusu held the wine glass and tilted his head to the side.

Shui Xinyuan put the steamed cake cut into small pieces on a plate and placed it in front of Lu Fusu. He pulled his own chair and placed it next to Lu Fusu and sat down.

She looked over at Lu Fusu, who had his back turned to her. Lu Fusu's eyes were unusually erratic.

"I didn't do anything that would make His Majesty uncomfortable..."

"I know...you don't have to worry about it."

"Of course I care."

"...?"

"If I knew that the emperor was reunited with a woman he had known well before for a long time, I would also be...jealous."

Shui Xinyuan tightened her lips and stared at Lu Fusu.

Lu Fusu also looked back at Shui Xinyuan in surprise.

"You can……?"

"I... can also be jealous, and I have been jealous before..."

"...Does it have anything to do with me?"

"certainly……"

Shui Xinyuan really wanted to hide this feeling, but at this moment, she felt that there was no harm in speaking out.

If Lu Fusu really feels uncomfortable because of Ziwei...if it's because of the same feelings, there's no harm in saying it himself.

Lu Fusu put down his wine glass, blinked two or three times, and then suddenly smiled.

"I... am so happy."

"...Does Your Majesty feel happy?"

"right."

Seeing Lu Fusu nod, Shui Xinyuan's shoulders that were tense due to nervousness finally relaxed.

"I thought you would be angry..."

"How is it possible that I think you are still so cute... If possible, I would like to hear you explain in detail when and under what circumstances you are jealous of whom."

Lu Fusu looked at Shui Xinyuan's face, which looked completely different from the frown he had just now.

"It's just, um..."

"It's okay, you don't have to say it right away...Okay, I'll wait until I finish eating this snack, take a rest, and then take a shower, and then I'll listen to you slowly."

"..."

You mean, do you want to explain it clearly before going to the palace?

“I’m really looking forward to it, I don’t know what I can hear.”

"Your Majesty... are you looking forward to it?"

He talks too much... Although Shui Xinyuan thought so, he was secretly glad that Lu Fusu's mood seemed to have improved... Of course, his mood suddenly became too good, which sometimes made Shui Xinyuan very troubled.

"Can I have a drink...?"

"Not today. If you fall asleep in the middle of talking, it would be too disappointing."

Lu Fusu pushed the wine glass to the corner of the table out of Shui Xinyuan's reach and started eating pastries.

"It's delicious. The pastries you make are always delicious. Don't you want to eat them?"

"I have eaten..."

Lu Fusu smiled from the bottom of his heart, and Shui Xinyuan also smiled at him.
