Chapter 12: Eat and Take



Everyone turned their eyes to the chief eunuch Duofu. Duofu was even more confused than them.

"Why are you looking at me? Those who need to rest should go and rest, don't stay here and get in the way!"

After sending everyone away, Duofu carefully knocked on the palace door.

"Your Majesty, the imperial kitchen has delivered the food!"

Xiao Yuqi got down from the couch, raised his hand, and pulled the black curtain together.

"Serve the food!"

"yes!"

Serve meal at Yin hour?

This is the first time ever!

It’s just that tonight the situation is special and different, but it’s understandable!

...

...

Duofu persuaded himself clearly. The door of the bedroom was opened, and the palace maids brought in dish after dish of delicious fish delicacies.

The drum-shaped dining table was soon filled to the brim.

At this time, Su Jianyue was trying hard to move the box of gold to her room.

She grunted and struggled for a long time, but the heavy box didn't move at all.

Under the black semi-transparent curtain, Xiao Yuqi could see Su Jianyue's figure clearly.

At this moment, she should be sticking her butt out, pulling the metal bracelet on the box, trying hard to drag the box to the side leading to her bedroom.

However, she was too thin and too weak, and the hand holding the pull ring suddenly loosened with a snap. She sat back uncontrollably and then disappeared into the curtain.

I guess he rolled into his room.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuqi couldn't help but laughed twice.

"hehe!"

The sudden laughter scared the palace maid who passed by him.

The palace maid's hand holding the tray shook violently, and the soup bowl with a green bottom and dragon pattern on the tray was knocked over by the force, and the exquisitely shaped margarine was all spilled on the jujube wood tray.

Not only the palace maid, but even Duofu who was standing beside and giving orders, had an already pale face, which turned even paler.

The palace maid fell to her knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. This slave did not mean to do this. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yuqi just glanced at the palace maid indifferently, and Duofu understood what he meant.

He took two steps forward and came in front of the palace maid.

"You can't even do such a small job, get out of here and be punished with twenty sticks."

As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maid prostrated herself on the ground and cried, not daring to move the tray in her hand at all.

The next second, the palace maid was dragged out by two guards who came in.

"Never mind, it was just an unintentional mistake on her part!"

Xiao Yuqi was in a rare good mood and avoided being punished by the palace maid.

Duofu's jaw dropped in shock, and the Yulin Guards were even more at a loss.

This...is this still Your Majesty?

How come he is so approachable?

Su Jianyue was completely unaware of the episode here.

All she knew was that even though she had used all her strength, she still couldn't move the box full of gold even a little bit.

Not only that, her hand slipped and she rolled into her room, somersaulted in a very embarrassing manner, fell off the bed, and landed on the soft pink carpet.

Su Jianyue: “…”

Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise, how would she survive in the world?

Su Jianyue thought about it, then simply got up from the ground, ran to her cloakroom, and took out a Xiangxing backpack.

Su Jianyue started using this bag since she was in school.

It is still in good condition after using it till now.

Cheap and good quality.

She held the bag in her arms.

She ran to the ** and rolled all over, and then rolled to Xiao Yuqi's bedroom.

The hall was filled with a sweet fragrance. When Su Jianyue was thinking about whether to move the gold back first or go eat delicious food first, the curtain was lifted by Xiao Yuqi's big hand, and Su Jianyue's face was completely exposed in the candlelight.

At this time, Xiao Yuqi was the only one left in the hall.

The sweet aroma of cakes fills my nose.

Xiao Yuqi pulled aside the curtain and met Su Jianyue's delicate eyes.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I'll let them serve some. You can eat first, and then choose your grandfather's birthday gift after you're full."

Such an arrangement...

“Very good!”

Su Jianyue imitated his tone and expression and commented with two words.

Xiao Yuqi couldn't help laughing.

Su Jianyue had already jumped onto the ground barefoot and trotted to the dining table.

Looking at the table full of exquisite pastries.

Su Jianyue began to feel bubbles of happiness all over her body.

Endless desserts and endless money.

What regrets does she have in her life?

No, not at all!

When Xiao Yuqi glanced at that white and tender skin, a barely perceptible dark light flashed in his dark eyes!

Her feet are so beautiful!

Su Jianyue picked up a piece of the best-looking crystal peach blossom cake. The translucent cake had a light pink color. Without having to smell it deliberately, one could smell a faint peach blossom fragrance mixed with a hint of sweetness.

She took a tentative bite, and the rich floral fragrance exploded in her mouth. It was sweet to the right degree, and so delicate that with a light sip, the fragrance in her mouth instantly disappeared, leaving only a mouthful of sweetness.

At this moment, what Xiao Yuqi had just said seemed like a huge joke.

Su Jianyue tasted a piece of each cake on the table like a hamster.

Even though her eyes were hungry, her stomach was only this big.

However, after tasting five or six snacks, my stomach felt so full that I couldn’t eat anything else.

"No, no, I can't hold on any longer!"

Su Jianyue raised her hand and gestured to her neck.

Suddenly, she had a bold idea.

Her dark brown eyes rolled twice in her big eyes, and Xiao Yuqi saw through her thoughts.

“No!”

The sudden severity startled Su Jianyue.

Xiao Yuqi glanced at his bed.

On it was a box of gold and a backpack.

If we put a few dozen more plates of cakes on top...

Xiao Yuqi's eyebrows jumped.

"This is a dragon bed, not a pigpen!"

"But……"

Su Jianyue lowered her head and poked her finger pitifully.

"There are so many delicious foods. It would be such a waste if we don't finish them!"

“Nothing will go to waste.”

"But……"

Xiao Yuqi smiled and said, "Aren't you going to choose a gift? If you don't go now, it will be dawn!"

Yes, choosing a gift is the important thing.

Su Jianyue was wearing a pure white nightgown that reached her ankles. The shoulder straps were made of silk and tied into the shape of roses, wrapping around her round shoulders.

Her long curly hair hung down behind her head like seaweed, and her slender waist was covered by the long hair, making her look even slimmer.

It seems like every part of her is exceptionally beautiful!

Xiao Yuqi watched her run to his desk with great interest, take out his paintings one by one, open them, and carefully select the one she liked.

Fortunately, each of his paintings was framed on silk.

Su Jianyue was dazzled by the choices.

She doesn't know how to paint, but she has a good aesthetic sense.

I originally thought that I could just find a painting that she thought was the most beautiful and give it to my grandfather.

Now it seems that every painting by Xiao Yuqi is very beautiful.

The composition and color matching are impeccable.

Su Jianyue glanced at the lacquer screen in Xiao Yuqi's hall, on which was a picture of vast rivers and mountains made with filigree craftsmanship.

He looked down at the scroll he had just opened.

"Is that based on this painting?"

She sat on the ground with her legs together. Her long skirt covered her delicate little feet, and only a few round and plump toes could be vaguely seen sticking out from the white skirt.

Xiao Yuqi followed the direction of her finger and looked at the screen.

"yes."

He took a few steps forward, wearing wooden clogs, and half-crouched down, his long hair hanging to the ground as he moved.

There were some fine strands of hair falling on his eyebrows, hiding the cunning in his eyes and revealing a hint of playfulness.

"Have you chosen?"

Su Jianyue nodded.

Xiao Yuqi took the painting from her hand and admired it again.

"You have good taste!"

This is his favorite painting.

Su Jianyue crawled to his side, leaned over, and admired the painting with Xiao Yuqi.

"You also think this is the best painting, right?"

Xiao Yuqi did not comment.

He suddenly stood up, rolled up the scroll again, and casually pulled out a brocade box from the shelf, which was neither too big nor too small, just the right size to hold the scroll.

"It has my inscription and my personal seal on it."

The first thing Su Jianyue did after getting the scroll was to stuff the brocade box into her backpack.
