Rong Qingqing clenched her fingers and nodded, "It's all up to Father to decide."
night.
After taking a bath, Rong Qingqing leaned against the soft couch and idly flipped through a book.
Just then, a strange noise came from the tightly closed window, and she immediately turned her head to look.
Then the window opened, and Xie Jingrun, dressed in black, appeared there.
Realizing what was happening, she dropped the book in her hand and ran over as fast as she could to close the window.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jingrun was even faster, nimbly jumping in. Looking at the dejected girl, he reached out and tapped her on the forehead. "Rong Qingqing, how dare you try to lock me out of the window?"
Rong Qingqing said innocently, "So it's the Emperor. I thought it was some lecherous fellow climbing through my window in the middle of the night." She paused, then curtsied to him, "May I ask what brings Your Majesty here so late at night?"
Xie Jingrun stood with one hand behind his back, looking at her serious expression, and scoffed, "Of course I'm here to see if my fiancée has run away."
Rong Qingqing: "..."
It seems that he can't get over her escape last time.
"Now you've seen it, I didn't run away. It's late, you should hurry back to the palace."
Xie Jingrun ignored her order to leave, sat down in the spot where she had been sitting, rubbed his temples, and said wearily, "Qingqing, make me a cup of tea."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing was somewhat reluctant, but she didn't say anything and turned to leave. However, when making tea, she couldn't help but change the tea leaves to osmanthus, which has the effect of relieving fatigue.
Xie Jingrun took the cup she handed him. When he looked at the petals floating on the water, the corners of his mouth curled up, but he didn't rush to drink. Instead, he took out a small food box from behind him and handed it to her. "These are pastries that the Imperial Kitchen just made."
Rong Qingqing was stunned, not expecting that he had even brought her food.
"I'm not hungry," she said awkwardly, but still opened the lid of the food box.
When I saw the steaming hot hibiscus dumplings inside, my mouth automatically watered.
She almost made a slurping sound, but she managed to stop herself in time, mindful that Xie Jingrun was there.
Xie Jingrun propped his head up with his hand, looking at the girl who sat down at the table, feigning composure, but a smile flickered in his eyes.
Rong Qingqing picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and ate it slowly, not forgetting to politely ask, "Would you like some?"
"Hmm." Xie Jingrun originally didn't want to eat, but seeing her feigned politeness, he changed his mind.
Rong Qingqing counted the dumplings on the plate; there were only five in total. This guy had the nerve to share them.
"Oh, then I'll save two for you," she said insincerely.
Xie Jingrun put down his cup, got up and walked over, stopping behind her. He then leaned down, placed his hands on the corner of the table, and half-encircled her in his arms. "You feed me."
Rong Qingqing's expression froze as she looked at the man who had suddenly approached. "You have hands and feet..."
Xie Jingrun glanced at her casually, a low syllable escaping his throat, "Hmm?"
Seeing the man's dangerous expression, Rong Qingqing paused, reluctantly picked up a dumpling, and brought it to his mouth. When he opened his mouth, she suddenly shoved it into his mouth.
Xie Jingrun stared blankly at her after his mouth was stuffed with food.
Rong Qingqing suppressed a laugh, but pretended not to understand and said, "What's wrong? Did you burn your mouth?"
Xie Jingrun looked at her hypocritical act, snorted coldly, and slowly began to ponder, "Is this your real purpose?"
