Ji Ru always has a faint smile on her face in the picture. It seems that she is smiling, but when you look closely, it doesn't look like she is smiling.
Ji Xingzhi took another bite of the pastry. Although it made him feel uncomfortable, it wasn't that sweet. The coolness lessened the sweetness, and he could barely hold back the nausea. Although his stomach was churning, he had to put on a nonchalant smile. He even complimented it with a few words: "This pastry is good today. It's refreshing and delicious, and it leaves a lasting impression."
Seeing that Ji Xingzhi was enjoying the meal, Ji Wenshui smiled and said, "If Your Majesty likes it, I will make a dish for you right away."
When Ji Xingzhi heard this, her face froze for a moment, as if a string in her head had suddenly snapped. Trying her best to make her expression look natural, she smiled at Ji Wenshui and said, "Don't bother. I'll just eat two pieces here. It'll be the same if we do it again tomorrow."
Ji Wenshui smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it will be ready in a moment. I'll take it to Shaohua Palace after it's done. I'll take my leave now."
Seeing Ji Wenshui's enthusiasm and even excitement, Ji Xingzhi looked at Ji Wenshui's receding figure, and with tears in her eyes, she looked at the cake she had taken two bites of, and murmured softly, "Really... don't bother..."
Ji Ruhua was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Your Majesty, how do you like it?"
Ji Xingzhi was slightly startled when she heard Ji Ruhua's question and said, "Very good."
Hearing this, Ji Ruhua raised her eyebrows slightly: "Just very good?"
The taste of this pastry is completely different from usual. How can it be described as cool and refreshing? Why didn't the emperor even ask about it? It's a bit strange...
"Ji Xingzhi" thought about it and said a lot of compliments, but still didn't touch the heart of the matter, which made Ji Ruhua suspicious.
Ji Ruhua had the right to enter and leave the palace at will. After nightfall, Ji Ruhua put on Xiaojuan's clothes, darkened her face several shades with graphite, lowered her head, and hurriedly left the palace in the name of doing things for Ji Ruhua.
The real Xiao Juan was currently sitting in the room, wearing Ji Ruhua's clothes, looking confused. What had just happened?
It is said that after Ji Ruhua left the palace, she found someone following her, so she deliberately went to a crowded place, trying to get rid of the person who was following her. Unexpectedly, while going there, she ended up in someone's arms.
Ling Lan looked at the woman who threw herself at him, still dressed in the attire of a palace maid, and frowned slightly. Just as he was about to push her away, the woman in his arms suddenly reached out and hugged him, pressing her body so tightly that he could even feel the softness against his chest...
Ling Lan's face darkened, and he made a move to push the person away. Just as his hand touched the woman's shoulder, a soft and pleasant voice rang in his ears: "Master, please help me."
Hearing this, Ling Lan frowned slightly, looked up, and saw a person not far away staring at this side stealthily. Guessing that the woman in his arms was being targeted by someone with ill intentions, he wanted to push the person away but instead hugged the person in his arms.
Ling Lan put one hand on the shoulders of the person in his arms and the other around her waist. He lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry."
Ji Ruhua had never been hugged like this by a man before, and her face flushed for a moment. Although she knew that she had suffered a loss, for some reason she felt that this embrace was extremely warm and reassuring.
