Relos's gaze unconsciously drifted to the Queen sitting beside him: "Your father..."
The true queen + the scoundrel Bo Jichen's heart pounded. He reached out and grabbed his beloved's hand, scratching his beloved's palm smoothly and calmly, before turning the tables and saying, "Agares, wasn't my brother with you in the dueling arena before? Didn't you tell him about the family gathering today?"
Jiang Si, like grass on a wall, with an innocent and harmless face, swayed wherever the wind blew: "Yes, Agares, where is my dad? We can't lose him while we're eating, he'll be so sad."
As soon as she finished speaking, her foot was stepped on. The scoundrel who stepped on her foot ground down hard, but he had a smile on his face and echoed Jiang Si: "Yes, Agares, why didn't you tell my brother?"
Agares' dark eyes, calm yet sharp, swept over the two of them. He raised his wrist, which was equipped with a personal terminal, and tapped it on the terminal. "Sorry, it was my oversight. I'll make a call to him now."
Leilos, who had been silent, grabbed Bo Jichen's hand, which was scratching his palm, and stared at him with his dark eyes.
Bo Jichen placed his other hand on the back of his hand, patting it gently to soothe him.
Jiang Si sat opposite her cheap, thieving boss, watching him calmly and unconcerned about Agares making a call.
She pulled her foot away from Bo Jichen's foot, grabbed Agares's personal computer to stop him from dialing, and said with a naive smile, "Empress sister-in-law, when we came from the dueling arena, we told Daddy that you would cook for us today and have a family gathering."
"However, he said he wasn't notified, neither was His Majesty, nor did you inform him. Do you think he's angry?"
"Why don't you make a call to him? It's still early, and I'm not hungry. Let's wait for him. The whole family should be together, right, Your Majesty... Sister-in-law."
Bo Jichen: "..."
It's true that you get what you pay for.
He didn't spend any money on his adopted daughter, which caused her to be leaky and have electrical problems, which was heartbreaking.
Is it too late to return it now?
If I can't get a refund, I'll beat her up. Will my sweetheart prevent him from returning to the palace?
Agares' dark eyes flickered slightly as he looked at his young wife, who was staring innocently at the Empress with a bright smile. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "I would like to trouble Your Majesty to make a call to my teacher and ask him to come over so that our family can have a simple meal together."
After going around in circles, the story has come full circle back to Bo Jichen himself.
He smiled without showing his teeth, his demeanor gentle and generous: "Of course."
Leilos's pupils constricted.
Bo Jichen patted the back of his hand, moved his hand away, and openly dialed his own number in front of the three of them.
The call was answered after one ring, and Bo Jichen's nonchalant male voice came through the screen: "You guys have eaten, don't wait for me. I have some things to take care of here. You guys eat first, goodbye."
Ginger shreds: "..."
I admire dogs more than walls.
It turns out he had already foreseen this.
I recorded my voice in advance.
It has to be said that this master of disguise has really thought of everything and done everything perfectly.
The optical computer was cut off.
Bo Jichen, with her long, smooth hair and shimmering purple eyes, smiled even more gently: "Jiang Jiang, Agares, your brother can't come today. Let's make an appointment with him next time."
"Come, come, have a taste. My cooking isn't as good as Jiang Jiang's, but it should be edible. Don't be shy."
Bo Jichen mischievously used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of each of the ginger shreds, piling her bowls and plates up like a small mountain.
Jiang Si stared at the mountain of food piled up in front of her: "..."
Game 1: Jiang Si vs. Bo Jichen, Bo Jichen wins!
"Agares, eat too." Bo Jichen was incredibly attentive, serving Jiang Si food and then serving Agares food, perfectly embodying the role of an elder sister-in-law who is like a mother to her.
Of course, it's a different story when serving food to his family.
I tasted it myself and thought it was okay before I gave it to my darling.
I would never let my own family eat something I wouldn't even dare to eat myself.
Jiang Si picked up her chopsticks, took a small amount of food from the plate in front of her, and put it in her mouth. It tasted absolutely awful.
Nine dishes for 100,000 Star Coins, and they tasted awful.
I don't know how these unscrupulous merchants can have the nerve to make money.
What is this?
These are vegetable leaves, why do we need to mash them into a paste?
It's fine if it's mashed into a paste, but why hasn't the salt dissolved yet?
Not only was the salt not dissolved, but there were also veins in the leaves and peppercorns bigger than fingernails.
Bo Jichen smiled slyly to himself, picked up a spoon, and scooped up a large spoonful of the sticky green vegetable sauce that his cheap eldest daughter was staring at, saying with great enthusiasm: "Come on, Jiang Jiang, eat more if you like it. I made this dish according to the recipe from one of the top restaurants in our capital city, Jiushilou."
"This is a dish made from unmutated spinach, pickled mustard greens, and green juice. It was a famous dish in the old building, and it took me a lot of effort to learn how to make it."
Jiang Si stared at the large spoonful of green sauce that flew into the bowl, and really wanted to smash Bo Jichen's head.
How do you eat this?
She just dipped her chopsticks in it, and the taste was incredibly sour and tangy.
Leilos mistakenly thought that Jiang Si liked to eat it and was afraid that she wouldn't have enough, so he scooped a spoonful with a large spoon and put it in the bowl in front of her: "Little Sisi, if you like it, eat more. I'll have the Queen make some more for you to take back later!"
Ginger shreds: "..."
Should we have him make a little bit more and bring it back?
What grudge could this be?
What grievance?
She's the kind of person who "tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead," right?
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Empress. You've been busy all day. Come, come, have some more." Jiang Si picked up the serving chopsticks and shoveled food onto Bo Jichen's plate like a tiger.
Bo Jichen, with a flick of his wrist, shifted the blame to Agares: "If you and Agares eat more, it will be an affirmation of my cooking skills. As for me, I'll just have soup, I'll just have soup."
Nine dishes and one soup.
As for ginger shreds, only durian shells can be used in chicken soup.
The others are as awful as they come.
Left with no other choice, she handed the food she had picked up with her chopsticks directly to her brother, the Emperor.
Dare to challenge her? After all, His Majesty is a sister-obsessed brother.
As expected, Leilos was particularly kind and friendly: "Thank you, Little Sisi, eat more."
Jiang Si had no appetite for the so-called delicacies in front of her and couldn't eat. She couldn't help but look at her cheap ex-boyfriend.
Agares's eyes were as deep as an abyss as he glanced at Her Majesty the Queen without leaving a trace. He raised his hand and swapped the empty tableware in front of him with the tableware piled high with food in front of his little wife.
Then, without making a sound, he ladled a bowl of durian shell stewed chicken soup and placed it in front of his young wife, his voice low and indifferent: "Eat."
In a pinch, it's still more reliable to go with your ex.
Jiang Si picked up the soup and took a sip.
Although my skills aren't as good as hers, at least it's passable and edible.
Then look at my cheap ex, who's eating green sauce and some kind of dark, unidentifiable meat with a blank expression, completely unaffected.
Jiang Si drank two bowls of chicken soup but didn't eat anything else.
After eating for half an hour.
The hypocritical Jiang Si rubbed her stomach and immediately praised, "Empress sister-in-law's cooking is amazing! My father didn't come today, so he's really missing out on this delicious food."
Bo Jichen countered each move with equal force, not to be outdone: "He's spent decades in the palace, he's got plenty of food, Jiang Jiang, don't feel sorry for him."
Agares placed a cup of hot water in his young wife's hand and looked at the Queen, saying, "Indeed, there is no need to feel sorry for the teacher. He is a person with his own opinions and abilities. However, Your Majesty, I am a little worried about him now."
Relos's expression tightened instantly: "You're worried about him? What happened to him?"
Agares's gaze deepened as he stared intently at the Empress, replying to the Emperor of the Empire, "Your Majesty, my teacher is friends with Red Eyebrows, the number one pirate on the Star Pirate Ranking. Red Eyebrows is indiscriminate in his sexuality and specifically targets young boys for his own gain."
Bo Jichen: "!!!!"
No, when the wicked disciple analyzed Red Eyebrows before, didn't he analyze that the little boy he was holding was the same person?
How did it become that they don't discriminate between meat and vegetables, and only prey on young boys?
Jiang Si drank the warm water in her hand in one gulp, turned around and sat down next to Emperor Relos of the Empire. She opened the personal terminal and said, "Your Majesty, look, look, these are the photos of Red Eyebrows holding a little boy. Every single one of them is different. My dad is good friends with him. What good things can he learn from him?"
