Chapter 1167 If you are pleased with me, then breathe 21
Song Jinhuan felt a pang of panic and instinctively took a half step back, curtsying and saying, "This humble woman dares not."
The emperor's hand missed its target, but he didn't seem to care.
It must be said that this cousin in front of me is the most well-behaved among the Lin family girls.
Xuanhe glanced at the emperor, who was feigning gentleness, his eyes darkening slightly.
The Emperor turned his head and asked politely, "Would you like to join us for a meal, my dear minister?"
Xuanhe has never liked social engagements and never participates in grand banquets in the palace.
Not to mention, they sat down at the table to eat together.
However, the man in the scarlet robe replied calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Emperor was slightly surprised, but then he thought to himself, "Minister Xuan arrived early and has been discussing official business. He must be hungry by now."
Grandpa Ban had already ordered the meal to be prepared.
Song Jinhuan stood aside, worried about the surging desire to destroy the world, while also eagerly anticipating, "Quickly ask me if I want to eat, quickly ask me if I want to eat!"
Sixteen dishes, all of which she loves!
It wasn't that she had a big appetite, but rather that the food in the palace was all about color, aroma, and taste, with each dish presented exquisitely, yet the portions were extremely small.
The entire imperial study smelled wonderful!
It's all thanks to her!
The Emperor said, "Cousin, please sit down with me."
Song Jinhuan said sincerely, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Only after seeing the Emperor and Xuanhe take their seats did she sit down as well.
The Emperor took good care of her and even specially instructed her, "Cousin, don't be shy, eat whatever you want."
Song Jinhuan's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Your Majesty, you're so kind!"
The girl's smile was like that of a newborn cub, innocent and naive, her clear eyes revealing nothing but genuine joy.
The Emperor paused slightly, avoiding her gaze, and muttered, "Cousin, eat more."
Song Jinhuan laughed even harder.
Desire to destroy the world: 65.
? ? ?
Song Jinhuan looked across at Xuanhe, who gave her a perfunctory smile.
She was puzzled, but still nodded in response.
After that, all attention was focused on the dishes.
She first picked up a piece of the "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness" dish, then the "Phoenix Tail Shark Fin" and "Eight Treasures Wild Duck."
At a seemingly slow pace, yet without missing a single dish, sixteen dishes were rolled up.
Before we knew it, the amount of food on the table was decreasing little by little.
Xuanhe seemed to suddenly remember something and reminded him, "Your Majesty, has a decision been made regarding the resettlement of displaced people?"
The Emperor immediately put down his chopsticks and said, "Please enjoy your meal, my dear minister. I will go and review the memorials now."
Xuanhe nodded slightly, "This matter is of great importance and requires Your Majesty's utmost attention."
The emperor needed an opportunity to prove himself, and the refugees from the north provided just that opportunity.
He naturally wouldn't let it go, so he got up and went back behind his desk.
Song Jinhuan didn't even look up, her eyes fixed on the last meatball on the plate. Just as she was about to reach for it with her chopsticks, someone beat her to it.
She was dissatisfied and looked up, only to see the man put the meatballs into her bowl.
The dissatisfaction in his eyes instantly turned into gratitude.
"Thank you, Elder Xuan!"
Xuanhe's lips curved slightly, finally managing to get a smile in return.
Grandpa Ban stood aside, watching this scene unfold, his heart pounding.
Then I felt a chill.
The man, who had been gentle just moments before, suddenly turned cold and gave her a warning look.
Grandpa Ban quickly lowered his head, suppressing his distracting thoughts, and pretended not to have seen anything.
However, I must be more respectful to Miss Lin in the future.
When Song Jinhuan put down his chopsticks, all sixteen dishes on the table were gone.
She dared to take so much because she could eat it all!
Ultimately, the portion size was too small.
