Chapter 237 The Jealous Emperor is Furious, and His Little Concubine is Online Coaxing Him!
Xiao Xingyuan was a little angry as he watched Xiao Ce's retreating figure, so he went straight to cause trouble for Meng Yanzhi.
When he arrived at the Begonia Palace in a hurry and in a huff, he saw Meng Yanzhi and Xiaoyue playing around in the courtyard, chasing each other and chattering happily.
In an instant, Xiao Xingyuan's anger dissipated by more than half!
He strode over and hugged Meng Yanzhi from behind. Immediately afterward, Xiaoyue stepped forward, grabbed Meng Yanzhi, and chattered, "Sister, I caught you! I won! I won!"
"You're cheating!"
Meng Yanzhi pointed at Xiao Xingyuan with dissatisfaction and snorted.
Xiaoyue, however, was quite self-righteous: "I don't care, I won! Oh, we're getting a big braised pork knuckle for dinner tonight!"
"Eat, eat, eat, or you'll turn into a little fatso."
"When your brother comes to pick you up, he won't even need to walk. He'll just curl you up into a ball of flesh and kick you home in one go!"
Meng Yanzhi snorted and tilted her head to look at Xiao Xingyuan, only then noticing that Xiao Xingyuan's face was sour.
What's wrong with him again?
Meng Yanzhi felt that Xiao Xingyuan was acting strangely, but she still took his hand and went into the house together.
"I made dried fruit today, my first time. It's dried peaches. Let's try it and see how it is?"
Meng Yanzhi casually picked up a piece and stuffed it into Xiao Xingyuan's mouth.
She knew that Xiao Xingyuan liked sweet things, so she spent her days figuring out how to come up with more variety!
Xiaoyue didn't want to stay cooped up in the house with them, so she grabbed a handful of dried peaches and ran outside.
Now, only the two of them were left in the room. Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with some curiosity, tilting her head: "Why did you come here in such a huff?"
"I'm asking you, do you and the Crown Prince have a very good relationship?"
"He even asked you how you were doing today. That kid is so inconsiderate."
Xiao Xingyuan snorted, feeling a surge of annoyance.
It seems we should expedite the process of getting them to head south!
Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's sullen expression, Meng Yanzhi found it somewhat amusing. She could only shrug indifferently and then said, "He is your adopted son, which means he is your son. So now I am also his stepmother, right? What feelings could he possibly have for me? It's just that we had a good relationship before, so he cares about me. Doesn't Your Majesty like having someone care about me?"
Meng Yanzhi frowned and stared at Xiao Xingyuan.
Xiao Xingyuan initially thought his argument made sense, but upon hearing this, he immediately realized something was amiss. His eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he said irritably, "Are you deliberately trying to confuse me?"
"Your Majesty, you are so clever, how could I possibly let you off the hook?"
"Your Majesty, how about we go to Zhaoyang Palace for dinner tonight? I'd like to have dinner with Consort Liu."
Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan longingly and gently tugged at his sleeve.
After hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan glanced at Meng Yanzhi and said, "You're not trying to persuade me to favor Consort Liu, are you?"
Since meeting Meng Yanzhi, Xiao Xingyuan has never touched another woman, nor does he want to.
However, Meng Yanzhi, being in the inner palace, still felt that Xiao Xingyuan shouldn't make his intentions too obvious.
Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's wary expression, she couldn't help but laugh.
Meng Yanzhi then sat on Xiao Xingyuan's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked at him with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you willing?"
“I’m not willing,” Xiao Xingyuan said honestly. “But if you beg me, I might consider it.”
Meng Yanzhi grabbed Xiao Xingyuan's hand and bit down hard. She used quite a bit of force, and seeing the ring of her teeth marks on Xiao Xingyuan's hand, she released him with satisfaction and smiled, "I don't need to ask you for anything!"
Xiao Xingyuan had never been treated like this before. As the emperor, he should have been angry and turned on his temper after being offended like this. However, when faced with Meng Yanzhi's proud little eyes, he couldn't even utter a word of reproach.
He simply smiled at Meng Yanzhi, gently pinched her nose, and said in an annoyed tone, "In the whole world, only you dare to treat me like this!"
"Does Your Majesty like it?" Meng Yanzhi raised an eyebrow and gave a haughty snort: "Your Majesty will definitely offend me often in the future."
Before she could finish speaking, Meng Yanzhi burst out laughing: "Your Majesty, you came all this way to see me, not just because of this, right? Hmm? Are you jealous?"
"No, not at all." Xiao Xingyuan snorted, put his arm around Meng Yanzhi, and then said, "I just wanted to tell you that the cabbage and potato thing has been settled."
This is really a good thing!
Meng Yanzhi immediately beamed with joy, then hugged and kissed Xiao Xingyuan before getting up, taking the dried peaches, and continuing to feed Xiao Xingyuan.
Sometimes, Meng Yanzhi really felt that Xiao Xingyuan was like a little pet she raised. He ate and drank whatever she gave him, and he never picked at his food. He was just so adorable.
However, this little pet had such a bad temper that Meng Yanzhi had to be very careful to coax it.
After seeing Xiao Xingyuan off, Meng Yanzhi went straight to Zhaoyang Palace without any hesitation, bringing with her freshly made dried fruit. She presented it to Consort Liu like a precious treasure: "Your Highness, would you like to try some?"
"What's this?"
"Mmm, so sweet!"
Consort Liu took a piece and put it in her mouth. She was overjoyed and ate it bite by bite with a smile on her face.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi burst out laughing and said smugly, "I knew the Imperial Concubine would love it. How is it? Isn't it delicious? I've already arranged with His Majesty to have dinner here with the Imperial Concubine tonight, so I'm here to prepare dinner!"
"Why did you drag His Majesty here?" Consort Liu immediately understood Meng Yanzhi's meaning: "You don't need to feel guilty. I don't like His Majesty that much either, so don't waste your time. Otherwise, it will be awkward for everyone. I'm afraid I'll feel even worse watching you two being affectionate."
Consort Liu was a straightforward person who always said what was on her mind.
Sitting there watching Consort Liu like this, Meng Yanzhi felt an indescribable embarrassment. Helpless, she could only lower her head and mutter, "I'm sorry, I didn't think things through. I was inconsiderate. I'm sorry."
"What's wrong with you? Entering the palace is supposed to be a good thing, why do you always have to apologize?" Consort Liu frowned, somewhat displeased.
