She followed the old emperor quietly, but kept staring at Mo Sichen out of the corner of her eyes.
What tricks is this guy playing? Is he trying to test her in this way?
After thinking about it, she decided to wait and see.
She wanted to see what he wanted to do next.
The old emperor and Mo Sichen sat together drinking tea, while Shen Wangshu sat at a distance from Mo Sichen.
"My dear, try this."
As he spoke, the old emperor pushed a plate of side dishes in front of Shen Wangshu.
Shen Wangshu lowered his head to take a look. What was on the plate seemed to be some kind of air-dried beef jerky, and the color was really hard to describe.
It was dark, as if it had been left for too long, and was covered in dust.
She pursed her lips, not knowing how to comment.
However, what Shen Wangshu didn't expect was that all these subtle expressions on her face were captured by Mo Sichen.
Mo Sichen's lips curled up slightly, "Why, does Concubine Shu look down on these things I brought?"
Shen Wangshu: “…”
"Your Majesty, you're joking. It's not that I look down on this thing, but... I just don't have very good teeth."
Mo Sichen glanced at her face, and the curve of his lips became bigger and bigger.
He put down the wine glass in his hand, then reached out and pinched a piece of beef jerky and put it in his mouth. "That seems like a pity."
Then he took another piece and handed it to the old emperor. "Here, Your Majesty, try one. Your Majesty is in the prime of life, so you shouldn't have any problems with your teeth, right?"
The old emperor was stunned when he heard this, and finally gave an awkward but polite smile.
Helplessly, he patted his legs with his hands and said with a smile: "Haha, that's natural."
After saying that, he took a piece of beef jerky and put it in his mouth, chewing it twice.
Although it was quite strenuous to chew these few times, he still smiled and said, "This tastes really good. I haven't eaten these border specialties for many years."
"Really? Then I'll send more to Your Majesty from now on to satisfy your craving."
"Um!"
The old emperor nodded with a smile, looking very expectant. "That's great, very good!"
Mo Sichen: "Hehe..."
Shen Wangshu: "..."
His laughter made her even more confused.
Mo Sichen seemed to be completely unaware of the inappropriateness of his actions. He picked up the wine jug and filled it up for himself and the old emperor. "Come, Your Majesty, I toast you!"
The old emperor smiled and raised his wine glass to clink it with him. While raising the glass, he covered it with his sleeve and moved his mouth with a grin.
This beef jerky is really hard.
He had never eaten anything so hard in his life!
......
Soon, half an hour passed.
Prince Chen's carriage was finally repaired and everyone continued on their journey.
But before an hour had passed, the traveling team was stopped by King Chen.
The old emperor frowned unhappily and asked the guards outside, "What happened again?"
The guard still said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it seems that King Cheng's carriage has broken down again..."
"What? Broken again?"
The old emperor was furious, "How on earth are these things repaired? They can't even maintain a carriage?!"
"Yes, yes. I'll send someone to check immediately."
But within a quarter of an hour, the guard returned and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Prince Chen's carriage is completely broken this time and can no longer move forward. The prince has sent me to ask Your Majesty... Um..."
"What are you asking? Just tell me!" the old emperor roared impatiently.
