Chapter 216 Meng Yanzhi: Your Majesty, I miss you so much!

Perhaps because the distance was too close, Consort Ling immediately felt the cold aura emanating from Xiao Xingyuan. She immediately shrank back and then whispered, "Your Majesty, I just want a jujube paste cake, but the Imperial Kitchen won't give it to me."

"Your Majesty, it's been given, it really has been given."

"It's their lackeys who couldn't handle it, so why blame us?"

Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a wronged expression.

Xiao Xingyuan felt a headache coming on and said irritably, "Forget it, forget it, it's nothing serious, just a plate of jujube cake, what's all the fuss about? You're so short-sighted and embarrassing!"

These words are an insult to Consort Ling.

Consort Ling never expected that Xiao Xingyuan would scold her like that in front of Meng Yanzhi.

She immediately felt wronged, but she didn't dare to say much in front of Xiao Xingyuan. She could only say in a wronged tone, "Yes, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again."

"Miss Meng, hurry and give her another serving of jujube paste cake!"

Xiao Xingyuan felt somewhat helpless, but he still had to give Consort Ling some face.

This time, Meng Yanzhi readily complied, immediately getting up and quickly bringing over some jujube paste cake, handing it to Xiaoyuer beside her: "You must hold it firmly this time, if you drop it again, I'm afraid... it's really gone!"

"yes!"

Little Fish's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his hands gripped the edge of the plate of jujube paste cake tightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Xingyuan waved his hand impatiently and said irritably, "What are you still doing here? Get out!"

"yes!"

"Your Majesty, I take my leave!"

Consort Ling was utterly humiliated and felt incredibly embarrassed. Before leaving, she didn't forget to give Meng Yanzhi a fierce glare.

Seeing this, Meng Yanzhi didn't think anything of it. She just smiled and got up to walk towards her room.

Xiao Xingyuan shook his head helplessly, then followed him into the room. Xiao Yumi felt a little strange and was about to follow, but was unexpectedly pulled back by Qingdao.

"The Emperor and the young lady are together, what are you doing there? Don't you have any sense of propriety?"

"What...does this mean?"

Little Corn looked at Light Knife with some confusion.

Qingdao rolled her eyes at Xiaoyumi, then said irritably, "Do you really not know what this dream is about, or are you just pretending to be stupid? Is your head full of corn too?"

After saying that, he snorted and turned to leave.

Inside the room, Meng Yanzhi personally poured Xiao Xingyuan a cup of tea, smiling as she looked at him: "Your Majesty was so majestic just now, it scared me to death!"

"How come I can't see any fear in you?" Xiao Xingyuan placed the teacup on the table and looked at Meng Yanzhi with a half-smile.

Meng Yanzhi immediately stepped forward, sat on Xiao Xingyuan's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with a smile, "Logically speaking, I should be afraid, but I'm not afraid of you at all!"

"Little girl, you're getting bolder and bolder, aren't you?" Xiao Xingyuan took the opportunity to hug Meng Yanzhi and kiss her. "Why did it take you so long to get back?"

"Some things at home were a bit troublesome, so I was delayed, but I'm back now, aren't I?"

"But if I had known that I would be harassed if I came back, I wouldn't have come back. It's more comfortable at home!"

Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a face full of dissatisfaction, clearly starting to take the matter to heart.

Xiao Xingyuan was taken aback for a moment, then pinched Meng Yanzhi's nose helplessly: "It'll only be a few days. I've received the evidence of the General's crimes. Once we cut off his associates, we'll naturally deal with his whole family!"

That's more like it.

Meng Yanzhi nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, then looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a smile and gave him a big kiss.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I have not told you!"

"What?"

Xiao Xingyuan instinctively became wary and frowned as he looked at Meng Yanzhi.

Meng Yanzhi leaned forward and planted a kiss on his lips: "I missed you!"

Those four simple words immediately threw Xiao Xingyuan into a frenzy, causing him to tightly embrace Meng Yanzhi and kiss her passionately.

After all that commotion, it was already evening. When Meng Yanzhi slowly woke up, it was already dark outside, and Xiao Xingyuan was no longer by her side.

Meng Yanzhi was already used to this kind of scene. After getting up and getting dressed, she headed towards the imperial kitchen.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi come out, Qingdao hurriedly went to greet her, saying with a smile, "Miss, you're quite the sleepyhead. His Majesty left long ago, why are you only just waking up?"

"It's all because he's too much of a troublemaker." Meng Yanzhi rolled her eyes, feeling a wave of disgust, and even felt a bit of backache.

Hearing this, Qingdao blushed even more and glanced at Meng Yanzhi: "Miss, aren't you being a little too blatant?"

Previously, Meng Yanzhi had kept this matter a secret because she was worried about her important business, but now that she had done most of what she needed to do, she raised an eyebrow at Qingdao and asked, "What, do you think this is something shameful?"

"Of course not, it's just that I'm afraid someone might target Miss!" Qingdao sighed helplessly and looked at Meng Yanzhi with some worry.

Meng Yanzhi smiled indifferently, then said lightly, "Anyway, when I was hiding it, they never treated me any politely!"

After saying that, Meng Yanzhi opened the pot lid and, sure enough, saw the delicious food that Xiao Yumi had left for her. She squinted her eyes with satisfaction and began to eat it bite by bite.

Although it sounds harsh, it is indeed the truth!

Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Qingdao smiled and thought that Meng Yanzhi was even more radiant and lovely like this.

After finishing her meal, Meng Yanzhi thought for a moment and decided to send a message to Mingchu, asking her to come to the palace the next day. She prepared some things and waited for Mingchu to arrive.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xingyuan came again in the middle of the night.

He took off his clothes as soon as he entered the room, lay down on Meng Yanzhi, and said in a childlike coquettish tone, "Yanzhi, I'm so tired."

This was the first time Meng Yanzhi had seen Xiao Xingyuan look so tired. She smiled gently and pressed her fingers lightly on his temples.

Seeing this, Xiao Xingyuan finally squinted his eyes comfortably and looked at Meng Yanzhi with a smile: "Life like this is really good."

“If Your Majesty is pleased, every day can be like this.” Meng Yanzhi took a deep breath: “Your Majesty, from now on, I only wish to stay by your side and walk with you.”

Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, finally making up her mind.
