With her slender hands, she picked up a piece of crispy pork and put it in her mouth. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she ate something she liked, and Sheng Jin watched her intently.
It had been so long since I'd seen her; I couldn't take my eyes off her at all.
Liu Lingxi ignored the conspicuous gazes around her, but her movements slowed down as she ate in small sips, her face showing some unease.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Jin's eyes flickered, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.
It seems that Xi'er is not so indifferent to him.
"Grandpa, what are you laughing at? Yu'er wants to know too."
The child's innocent voice brought Sheng Jin back to his senses. He gently patted the little boy's head, which made Sheng Yu laugh. The clear, childlike voice echoed throughout the room.
"Grandpa Emperor is very happy to dine with Yu'er."
"Yu'er is also happy. From now on, Yu'er will dine with you."
"good."
Looking at Sheng Jin, who was even more loving than Sheng Changfeng, and who was even more like Yu'er's father than Sheng Changfeng, Liu Lingxi sighed.
well.
"What's wrong with Mother?"
"It's alright, eat more."
Shut your little mouth!
"All right."
Sheng Yu scratched his head, unsure of his mother's thoughts, but his mother had put meat on his plate!
Happy!
At Chonghua Palace, my father always steals my mother's attention. It's much better here!
Hehe, I'll ask my mother to have meals with me more often in the future.
After finishing lunch, Liu Lingxi touched the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, then wanted to take Yu'er back for a rest, so she curtsied to Sheng Jin.
"Your subject will take Yu'er and take his leave."
"Wait a minute."
Sheng Jin was anxious and stepped forward to stop the person, signaling his men to take Yu'er away.
"Futai, quickly take Yu'er back to rest. Look at her, the poor thing, she's so sleepy she can barely keep her eyes open."
Sheng Jin gently stroked Sheng Yu's little face, tenderly and with utmost care.
The familiar scent completely relaxed Sheng Yu. She nestled in Fu Tai's arms, nuzzled Sheng Jin's large hand, and smiled, clearly having a great time.
Liu Lingxi sighed again, realizing that her chubby son had been completely captivated by Sheng Jin and was so defenseless.
well.
Sheng Yu was snoring softly, her rosy cheeks were very endearing.
Fu Tai quietly retreated, and the others followed him out, leaving only Ye Zhi to stay by Liu Lingxi's side.
"Your Majesty—"
Ye Zhi was somewhat worried, because this scene was all too familiar. Several years ago, it was just like this; he had failed to protect the Empress, and she had been... taken advantage of by the person in front of him.
Could it be—
Will things repeat themselves this time?
Ye Zhi's hand, which was supporting Liu Lingxi's arm, was a little unsteady. She was afraid that she would not be able to protect the Empress and that the tragedy would repeat itself.
Liu Lingxi sighed, knowing that some things you can't avoid.
She patted Yeats's hand to comfort her, but did not tell her to leave.
"Xi'er, there's no need to be so wary. I won't do anything without your permission."
Sheng Jin noticed the tension between the two and spoke up to ease the tense atmosphere.
Little did they know, he was the one who created the tense atmosphere.
Sure enough, the atmosphere became even more tense after those words were spoken.
"I have nothing to say to you. Even if you have something to say, you should go to Changfeng."
If there were anyone else here who heard Liu Lingxi speaking to the Emperor in such an impolite tone, they would have been so frightened that their legs would have gone weak and they would have knelt down on the ground long ago.
Even Ye Zhi was so frightened by these words that she almost implicated Liu Lingxi.
"Xi'er..."
Sheng Jin was stunned. Looking at the determined person in the photo, a wave of pain washed over him.
He never expected that he would annoy her so much that she wouldn't let him finish a single sentence.
"I hope we can keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. Let's go."
Liu Lingxi uttered these words in a tone as cold and icy as ice that never melts. After speaking, she turned and left, her actions swift and decisive.
"etc!"
Sheng Jin knew that if he didn't stop her, he would never have the chance to see Liu Lingxi again.
he……
We cannot let go.
"What if it concerns Yu'er?"
It was almost a shout, his voice nearly broken, completely losing the demeanor of an emperor, like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
But Liu Lingxi only paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward.
It seemed that nothing could stop her from leaving.
No one knows how desperate Sheng Jin felt at that moment, like a fully blooming flower that withered and decayed in an instant.
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked; everything crumbled.
Watching the person's receding figure, Sheng Jin lost all motivation to continue and collapsed to the ground, exuding an aura of death.
Humans are amazing creatures. Sometimes, when a person loses hope, they lose all motivation to live.
The moment Sheng Jin realized she had no chance of winning Liu Lingxi's favor, her heart died.
suddenly--
What do you want to say?
Liu Lingxi's gentle voice rang out from above his head, like heavenly music, easily illuminating his entire world.
His eyes lit up.
I looked up and realized I wasn't hallucinating!
"Xi'er!"
Sheng Jin remained kneeling, bowing his head in submission to the woman in his heart, and looking up to pray for the goddess's favor.
So humble.
Yeats covered his mouth in surprise. He couldn't believe his eyes. What was he seeing?
The person kneeling on the ground was actually the emperor who held the power of life and death over everyone, the emperor who had always been high above.
