As Qin Qi walked towards the front hall, she sent someone to call Minister Lu for breakfast. However, she learned that Minister Lu had already gone to the palace early in the morning, so Qin Qi ate breakfast alone.
When he returned, Lu Huai was already up and was half asleep, lying on the stone table in the courtyard.
Qin Xi shook her head helplessly.
"Lu Huai," she called out to him.
"Um?"
Seeing Lu Huai looking over, she smiled gently, her dimples appearing and disappearing: "Are you hungry? I brought you some food."
As he spoke, he took the food box from Lele's hand, picked it up, and shook it gently.
"Quickly, quick, I'm hungry," Lu Huai reached out to take the food box.
Qin Qi smiled faintly, placed the food box on the stone table, and took out the dishes one by one and placed them in front of him.
"Hmm... the dishes today are quite good," Lu Huai said, his mouth full of food, his words muffled.
Qin Xi sat beside him, her hands supporting her cheeks. Seeing how much he was enjoying his food, Qin Xi couldn't help but smile, revealing her small, white canine teeth.
She suddenly found herself liking this feeling.
I like being with Lu Huai, I like looking at him like this, and I like sitting together.
It felt like they were very close, like they'd been together for a long time.
Qin Xi blinked and then touched the purse at her waist.
Don't be too greedy; this amount of money is enough.
She tried to comfort herself with this thought, but when she saw Lu Huaiyin eating so fast that fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Qin Xi frowned, took out a handkerchief, and reached out to wipe his mouth: "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
It wasn't that he wanted to eat so quickly. It was just that it was winter after all, and although it hadn't snowed yet, the wind was already chilly. If he didn't eat quickly, it might freeze solid in no time.
But after she said that, Lu Huai still nodded at her with a smile and began to eat slowly and carefully.
Seeing this, Lele and Baobao, who were standing behind Qin Xi, had big smiles on their faces.
"Burp," Lu Huai let out a burp and rubbed his stomach.
Qin Qi ordered the servants to clear the table, but instead of looking at Lu Huai, she said to him, "The eunuch is not at home today; he has gone to the palace."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huai's eyes lit up.
If Minister Lu is not at home, then can't he do whatever he wants?
However, Lu Huai frowned and asked, "Why go to the palace?"
Qin Xi shook her head, "I don't know either, there must be something wrong."
Lu Huai fell into deep thought: "Could it be that another uprising has broken out in the Northwest?"
He knows these things?
Qin Xi looked at Lu Huai probingly, "How did you know?"
Lu Huai snapped out of his reverie and casually said, "I've naturally heard of my elder brother's position in the Northwest Army."
Lu Huai's elder brother, Lu Chuan, had achieved remarkable military exploits at a young age and held the official rank of Commander, serving as a role model for the younger generation.
Qin Xi nodded, finding it plausible, and didn't dwell on the issue any further.
The wind started blowing again, and Qin Qi couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing this, Lu Huai looked at her reproachfully: "Why didn't you wear more clothes? You know you're not very healthy, and you're still pregnant. What if you catch a cold and develop a chronic illness?"
Qin Xi smiled and said, "No, I don't get sick that easily."
Lu Huai rolled his eyes at her. "Let's hurry inside. If you still want to look at the account books, have them move them inside. It's almost the end of the year, and the winter wind is bitterly cold. If you catch a cold, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape blame in front of my father and your father."
Qin Xi was amused by him, "I'm not that weak and frail."
"It's better to be safe than sorry," Lu Huai shook his head, looking as if she didn't understand.
