"No, I was worried that you were tired of the food, so I came back to try something different."

He even gave her a serious explanation.

Xiao Tang touched her forehead.

Goodness, is it me who has a fever, or you?

Is the main villain currently playing a gentle and understanding character?

She was starting to question the meaning of life, even wanting to ask the main villain if it was just good news that made her feel better, and if he had recently experienced some great joy, otherwise why was he being so gentle and kind to her...

It really feels strange.

Di Jingling instructed Yan Jiu to inform the waiter to serve the dishes.

They were sitting in a private room on the second floor.

You can see the stage on the first floor right from there.

Just then, a group of dancers in red dresses slowly swayed onto the stage.

One played the zither, and the other played the pipa. As soon as they stepped onto the stage, they were ready and quickly entered performance mode.

The dancer's movements are beautiful!

Especially when compared to the cringe-worthy "Wild Wolf Disco" dance that Xiao Tang performed for some guy before...

That's a world of difference.

[Emma, ​​did the villain deliberately bring me to watch the dancers perform?]

[This is outrageous! If you want to humiliate me, just say so!]

If it weren't for my strong mental fortitude...

She was about to say something when she noticed that the man's gaze wasn't on the group of dancers at all; instead, he was staring intently at her.

His eyes seemed to want to be glued to her.

[Your gaze...it looks like a pervert's!]

[Help! Why are you staring at me like that? The dancers down there are performing so beautifully, don't you want to watch?]

This is really going to kill me.

She dared not look him in the eye again.

It's as if I can read the burning fire in his eyes.

[I can't play with fire! I can't! -_-||]

Just then, the waiter brought out the dishes, and the food at Zui Chun Lou was no less delicious than that at the Regent's Palace.

It is even comparable to being served at a state banquet.

Xiao Tang was just about to reach for her chopsticks when the man grabbed her halfway through.

"What's wrong?" Her chopsticks stopped just short of the pig's trotter.

"Drink the soup first."

He slowly and deliberately prepared a bowl of soup for her.

It's pure black chicken soup.

Xiao Tang stared at the bowl of black chicken soup, beginning to suspect the villain's intentions.

"Try it."

Xiao Tang gave a soft "oh" and took a small sip.

Wow, this tastes so good!

The flavor is sweet and savory; the chicken is tender and juicy, and the chicken soup is very flavorful.

Sigh, this inspirational quote reminds me of something like that line in this book...

[This is what the seemingly innocent female lead said to her best friend: If there's a man in this world willing to cook and clean for you, marry him.]

In the original story, the main villain cooked a rather unappetizing soup for the seemingly innocent female lead... because it was the first time the villain had ever cooked.

[Tsk tsk tsk...]

Thinking of this, Xiao Tang glanced at Di Jingling.

I'm a little unhappy.

The main villain in the book makes soup for the female lead, huh.

If I give it to her, I can only take her out to eat, sob sob sob.

There is no harm without comparison.

I wonder if the villain in the book, when drunk, also transforms into a puppy, cuddling the innocent heroine and whining?

[Stop! What am I thinking! The main villain was like in the book, but the plot has changed now!]

"Is it good?" the man asked.

Xiao Tang nodded, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

It tastes really good.

"Do you like it?" he asked again.

Xiao Tang continued to smile and nod.

She knew he was just asking a few polite questions, so what could she say?

Di Jingling's eyes darkened, and he lowered them.

Xiao Tang also remembered to serve him a bowl, saying, "Husband, you should try some too, it's delicious."

He stared at the black chicken soup in the bowl, slowly picked it up, and took a sip.

Hearing Xiao Tang's inner praise: "Delicious, isn't it? Absolutely amazing! It's incredible, a true gem among chicken soups."

[Drink this bowl of chicken soup, and tomorrow I can travel the world freely!!!]

The man remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly I feel...

I really should learn cooking skills for Xiao Tang.

Making a soup is no difficult task.

The dancers left the stage, and then opera singers took their place.

Xiao Tang enjoyed the meal very much and was very satisfied. She thought the man would make a move, but after the meal ended and they returned to the palace, he didn't do anything else.

as if……

Was she really just going out for a meal?!

Xiao Tang lay there, bewildered.

Has the main villain changed his personality?

...

The next day.

Xiao Tang secretly went to the palace.

He also disguised himself as Hao Fang.

During court sessions, the young emperor was more serious than usual; he had never been seen so solemn before.

His small frame sat on the dragon throne, his hands resting on his knees. In his nervousness, he gripped the corner of the dragon robe tightly.

The tension on his face was not noticed by Di Jingling.

The man glanced at Hao Fang standing below without making a sound.

No wonder Xiao Tang wasn't beside me when I woke up this morning.

This girl actually entered the palace ahead of schedule, using Hao Fang's identity.

Perhaps noticing his gaze falling on her, Xiao Tang chuckled.

Does he look a little guilty?

[Emma, ​​why are you looking at me like that?]

【Ahem, although I'm about to be appointed Imperial Advisor, don't worry, I won't go against you.】

Di Jingling's eyes darkened, and his sword-like eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

His gaze pierced the young emperor.

Di Yanqing was already feeling guilty and scared, but when his gaze suddenly fell on him, the little emperor was so frightened that he... fell off his chair!
