How could there be such a person in the world!
Regarding his flattery, Zhi Lan did not take it to heart.
"It’s useless even if you say I’m your ancestor. Quickly leave this place, don’t force me to make a move." Zhi Lan placed both of her hands on her waist, she squinted her eyes, and did not seem to care about anyone.
No matter what Zhao Qiyan said, she would not let him have a good look at her.
Hearing that, Zhao Qiyan immediately went along with her words: "Ancestor, Little Ancestor, don’t lose your face everyday, be like the Empress, and smile more."
On the contrary, he was trying to teach Zhi Lan a lesson, and when Zhi Lan heard him, her anger rose. If Zhao Qiyan was not here, why would she lose her face?
Just as she was about to chase him away, a clear and melodious voice rang out from behind her, "General Zhao, the Empress has invited ~ ~"
After hearing the palace maid’s report, Hu Xiao, who was in the room, knew that Zhao Qiyan had arrived.
She did not understand, why did Zhi Lan not return even after leaving for so long? She was still waiting for Zhi Lan to come back and eat hotpot with her.
Hearing that, Zhao Qiyan rejoiced in his heart. He grinned, and revealed a set of neat and tidy teeth: "Zhi Lan, did you hear that, the Empress invited you!"
Zhao Qiyan was extremely pleased. With the Empress’s order, he was not afraid of Zhi Lan driving him out.
Hearing that, Zhi Lan stared at him angrily, she was being too arrogant, hearing the order from the Queen, his face immediately changed, as though she did not take herself seriously.
Seeing that Zhi Lan’s expression was not good, a look of regret flashed past Zhao Qiyan’s eyes, and he immediately laughed and said: "Zhi Lan, let’s go in!"
The word "we" brought the two of them closer.
"It smells so good!" What are you eating? " Before even stepping into the doorstep, Zhao Qiyan could smell a rich fragrance.
This taste aroused his gluttony, but he did not receive an answer to his question.
"Empress", upon seeing Hu Xiao, Zhao Qiyan cupped his hands together and greeted him in a simple manner.
At the same time, Hu Xiao had just scooped a bowl of soup and was savoring the taste.
"Empress, what is this?" Zhao Qiyan asked in shock as he pointed to the hotpot on the table.
When had he ever seen these things? What he usually ate were all cooked in a pot, it was truly his first time seeing the way Hu Xiao ate.
"You don’t even know this, what general are you talking about!" Zhi Lan ridiculed in a low voice, her words were laced with the ridicule in her heart.
Hearing his question, Hu Xiao not only did not mock him, but said patiently: "This is a hotpot. Inside the hotpot, other than the hotpot ingredients, there are also all kinds of pills and meat.
Hearing that, Zhao Qiyan swallowed his saliva, thinking that there was such a way to eat it, it was truly a world that was full of wonders.
"I know that you’ve never eaten this before. Do you want to sit down and eat it together?" Hu Xiao raised the corner of her mouth, her face was full of bright smiles. Sharing what she liked was a happy thing.
There was no need to ask, Zhao Qiyan had already wanted to sit down. Just as he walked a few steps, he suddenly remembered that he was at the same table as the Empress at Bedchamber.
Would it be like last time, when he was hit by the emperor and was about to be criticized?
Just by looking at her, she could see through Zhao Qiyan’s worries. She raised her eyebrows and teased: "Zhao Qiyan. "Why are you so mischievous? It’s just a meal, what’s there to worry about. If you don’t want to eat, then hurry up and leave. Don’t get in my way."
Hu Xiao rested her cheeks on her hands, the smoke from the hotpot shrouding her entire body. Looking from afar, it was as if she was in a fairyland.
"Fine, let’s eat!" Zhao Qiyan clenched his teeth and sat opposite of Hu Xiao.
and Hu Xiao chatted for a while. When they came back to drink beer, they talked about everything, and only after they talked did they realize that the two of them had a lot of similar opinions.
On the contrary, after returning to the palace, Qin Shuo’s face darkened. He followed his wife all the way to the slums like a thief, but was stopped at the entrance of the slums.
As an Emperor, when had he ever felt so stifled before?
The palace was big, but he had nowhere to go. He was extremely frustrated and did not want to review the imperial reports at all, nor could he go to Hu Xiao’s place.
After thinking about it, a beautiful image flashed across Qin Shuo’s mind, "How about I go to Xue Mier’s place?"
He still had some feelings for Xue Mier. After all, he doted on her so much before Hu Xiao entered the palace.
He believed that Xue Mier would definitely comfort him well.
But just as he arrived at Xue Mier’s Bedchamber, Xue Mier’s first words caused his heart to turn cold.
"Your majesty, why have you come?" Xue Mier asked curiously. There was no joy on her face, only surprise and impatience.
Why is he here! This was the Imperial Palace, his territory. Where could he not go?
Qin Shuo’s body was emitting an aura that prevented strangers from approaching him. He snorted lightly, and said angrily: "Dear Consort, I want to eat here."
"Hu Xiao is too infuriating, she is infuriating us!" Finally, Qin Shuo added coldly.
Hearing this, Xue Mier was even more confused, thinking, the Empress has angered the emperor, why is the emperor here? This is a matter between him and the empress, what can an outsider like me do to help!
What’s more, I already told the emperor that I don’t love him anymore, why is he still looking for me!
Xue Mier frowned. She looked into Qin Shuo’s eyes and said seriously, "Your Majesty, chenqie’s body isn’t feeling well."
These words clearly rejected Qin Shuo’s request, she did not want Qin Shuo to come down to eat.
Hearing that, Qin Shuo was shocked, this was the first time Xue Mier rejected his request.
What’s going on? Did his wife or concubine change her ways when she refused to listen to him?
Fine, if you don’t want me to stay here, there will be a place for me to stay. He squinted his eyes and looked at Xue Mier with a sharp gaze, then said while clenching her teeth: "Are your wings hard? Fine, don’t regret it in the future."
Qin Shuo left these harsh words, it was too much, why is Xue Mier more and more like Hu Xiao, daring to go against him!
After Xue Mier came out of the Bedchamber, she went to the Bedchamber of another concubine in a row.
He dejectedly stood outside the door and hatefully said, "What kind of evil have I done? What kind of people did I marry? Why don’t one or two of you listen to my words?!"
All of them had things to do, and one of them had said that she was too sleepy to sleep, and that it was only a few hours later, before the sun had completely set, that she was lying with her eyes open.
How infuriating!
After Yin Fufeng returned, he did not enter the palace with Qin Shuo. At this time, he was sitting at home, and was carefully flipping through the things that Hu Xiao had written.
Naturally, after the conversation he had with Hu Xiao in the Flower House, he had become more and more interested in Hu Xiao.
