After bringing Li Yu into the house, Zhao Hao asked, "Your Highness, have you not had dinner yet?"

Li Yu nodded gently and said, "That's true. After tasting the stir-fried dishes here yesterday, I found other dishes hard to swallow."

"Look, I just came to visit the Marquis today during dinner time."

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "That's perfect. I was just about to eat something, so please join me, Your Highness."

"Eating for two is much better than eating for one."

Having said that, he called Wu Song to quickly prepare the meal, and soon, several exquisite side dishes were served.

This time, the two of them did not separate their food, but sat down face to face at an exquisite small square table.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, can you drink some wine?"

Hearing this, Li Yu's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and then she nodded.

"Then drink some. I also can't forget the fruit wine that the Marquis had at the banquet yesterday."

"If it's dry wine, I can't drink much."

"I've tried it before, and I'd get drunk after just one small drink."

Zhao Hao smiled and nodded: "Okay, then Your Highness can drink the fruit wine, and let me drink the dry wine."

The alcohol content of the fruit wine is not high, and it tastes like medicinal candy.

The taste of the candy was strange and strong, so Zhao Hao didn't like it very much.

Just like that, Zhao Hao poured Li Yu a glass of fruit wine and poured himself a glass of strong dry wine.

The two started chatting while eating.

However, most of the time, it was Zhao Hao who brought up the topic, and Li Yu followed his pace.

Only occasionally would Li Yu express his opinions on certain things.

Of course, in order to find common topics, the two talked most about the different customs and cultures of the two countries.

There are also poetry and songs.

What Zhao Hao didn't expect was that Li Yu was actually quite knowledgeable and talented.

He also has his own unique insights and judgments on history, certain historical events, and historical figures.

This surprised Zhao Hao quite a bit.

But, think about it, he is a member of the royal family after all.

No matter which country it is, the royal family attaches great importance to the education of princes and princesses.

Unless one is truly ignorant and incompetent, one will achieve great success in the classics, history, and literature.

As they talked about more and more topics, the distance between them became closer and closer.

Li Yu started to talk more and more, and Zhao Hao discovered that she was intentionally or unintentionally leading the topic to himself.

Then, Zhao Hao changed from being the leader of the conversation to being a listener.

Occasionally add a word.

Li Yu picked up a piece of emerald green cauliflower, put it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it.

He immediately put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, saying: "Overall, the third son of the Pei family is still a good man."

"I have been married to him for several years and I can still be considered comfortable with him."

"So, even though he has passed away now, I will still bring my children back to the Pei Mansion to visit during the holidays."

"That kid has always treated me like his aunt."

Zhao Hao heard this and said with a little emotion: "It's a pity that Your Highness and Mr. Pei San are such a perfect match, but they are separated forever."

"I'm afraid others can't understand the feeling of losing a loved one."

Li Yu shook her head slightly and said, "Mr. Pei San and I can be said to respect each other like guests."

"But to say that they are a match made in heaven, or that they are truly in love, is out of the question."

"Our marriage was arranged by the Emperor's uncle and the Prime Minister, and neither of us could refuse."

As he spoke, Li Yu filled his own glass again, then tilted his head back and drank it.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao also drank a glass with him.

Perhaps because he was talking about himself, Li Yu drank one glass of wine after another.

Zhao Hao had no choice but to follow.

Putting down the wine glass, Li Yu's cheeks flushed, and she looked at Zhao Hao with a breath of fresh air and asked, "My Lord, do you have a true lover?"

As soon as she said this, she waved her jade hand and said, "Sorry, this question is too presumptuous. My Lord, just pretend that Li Yu never asked it."

Zhao Hao laughed and shook his head, saying, "There's nothing I can't say. I used to only spend my time drinking and partying, and never did anything serious."

"Then he got into big trouble and was thrown into the Heavenly Prison."

"It was not until I finally got out of the prison that I changed my ways."

"As for Princess Yongning and I..."

Having said that, Zhao Hao deliberately paused, then stole a glance at Li Yu opposite him.

When he found that the other party had not changed, he continued, "As for me and Her Royal Highness Princess Yongning, it's probably because I flattered her too much that she developed feelings for me."

"Of course I readily agreed to this. After all, I am the only son in my family and I have the opportunity to become a royal consort."

"It can also ensure that there is a solid backer behind you, so why not do it?"

"As for love, there doesn't seem to be much to talk about."

"So, if Your Highness asks me if I have a woman I really like, I can only answer..."

"It seems not."

"Also, maybe it has something to do with my upbringing, I'm not too interested in women who are slightly younger than me."

"On the contrary, I would be more attracted to women who are obviously older than me."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in Li Yu's beautiful eyes, and then she covered her mouth and chuckled.

I don’t know if it’s because of the alcohol or some other reason.

After laughing, she blurted out, "Could it be that the Marquis likes an older sister of my age?"

Zhao Hao was embarrassed when he heard this and said, "Although it's embarrassing, it's true."

At this point, Zhao Hao already understood what was going on in today's game.

After he understood it, his brain started working rapidly, constantly weighing the pros and cons.

After weighing the pros and cons again and again, he made up his mind.

Immediately choose to continue.

He also wanted to see how far the other party's beauty trap could go.

Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Li Yu's eyes were already dim, but she still spat lightly.

"The Marquis must be drunk, he even said such frivolous words."

Zhao Hao immediately cried out that he was wronged.

"Your Highness, please understand. Since Your Highness asked, I will naturally have to answer honestly."

Li Yu rolled her eyes at him immediately, and said angrily, not knowing whether it was true or false: "Anyway... the Marquis is not a good person!"

This mature woman, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, looked at me with such a drawn gaze and her tone was so charming.

It's really unbearable.

Zhao Hao took a deep breath, then leaned forward slightly, and slowly pressed his big hand towards Li Yu's fair little hand that was placed on the table.

With her hands folded together, Li Yu trembled slightly, and then she hurriedly tried to pull her hand back from Zhao Hao's big hand.

But Zhao Hao is faster...
