Xi Xingxue's indifferent expression almost crumbled.
"No."
"Oh?" Qi Jinzhao chuckled lightly: "No, alright, then I won't force the Grand Preceptor."
Xi Xingxue suddenly had a bad feeling.
really.
soon.
The palace maids carried the dishes up to the rooftop like fish, set up tables, placed the dishes, and started the banquet. Soon, a table of delicious food was presented to Xi Xingxue.
Qi Jinzhao flicked his sleeves to dismiss them, then sat at the top of the table and began to enjoy his meal.
He glanced at Xi Xingxue: "The Imperial Preceptor is indeed an immortal, his eyes are not drawn to such mundane things."
Xi Xingxue watched helplessly as the Crown Prince slurped a piece of braised pork rib into his mouth.
"Gulp." The sound of swallowing was barely audible in the darkness.
Xi Xingxue turned her head away with difficulty, refusing to look at him, a faint sarcasm in her voice.
"Hehe, Your Highness the Crown Prince has quite the leisure to dine at the Star-Picking Pavilion."
Qi Jinzhao put down his chopsticks and raised an eyebrow: "The Imperial Advisor is right. Dining in a place like this certainly has a unique flavor."
The evening breeze lifted the man's long hair, and his clothes fluttered slightly in the air. His face was exquisitely beautiful, with well-defined features, and he was more radiant than the stars in the sky.
Xi Xingxue, however, found it unsightly.
It's like saying you can eat, but don't take your food to a beggar and eat it.
Xi Xingxue gritted her teeth in resentment.
His face remained serene and otherworldly, exuding an air of superiority.
"Your Highness, please be careful while you eat, lest you choke."
He made veiled and open sarcastic remarks.
Qi Jinzhao listened without any reaction, and even ate with greater relish.
Although this imperial advisor was indeed a bit too bold, Qi Jinzhao was even more eager to drag him down from his "pedestal" as soon as possible.
But for some reason, seeing Xi Xingxue's longing expression and the way she was secretly swallowing her saliva, I couldn't help but feel a pang of longing.
Surprisingly, it made him feel quite hungry.
Qi Jinzhao quickly finished eating.
Xi Xingxue glanced back.
There's still so much food left?
Hungry.
My stomach is growling.
He decided to disregard his pride and go eat as soon as Qi Jinzhao left.
However.
Qi Jinzhao slowly wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said, "Someone, take them away."
Xi Xingxue's eyes widened slightly.
The palace maids were already stepping forward to prepare to remove the dishes.
Xi Xingxue quickly stopped her: "Wait!"
Qi Jinzhao looked up: "Hmm?"
A hint of mockery and certainty flickered in his eyes, as if to say: You finally couldn't hold back anymore, could you? You couldn't keep it up any longer, could you?
Xi Xingxue certainly didn't want to be mocked by him.
He said in a very serious tone:
“Your Highness, I have seen the world in ruins and starving people everywhere, and I know the truth that every grain of rice is hard-earned.”
Qi Jinzhao lowered his eyelids slightly, glancing at the food with an unreadable expression: "So?"
"Therefore, we cannot waste it."
Qi Jinzhao suddenly chuckled, stood up, and his tall figure cast a shadow in front of Xi Xingxue.
His gaze lingered on Xi Xingxue with great interest, like a satiated wolf eyeing its next meal.
"Then? How about the Imperial Advisor takes care of all this food for me?"
His tone was condescending and condescending.
Xi Xingxue: "..." Does he really think he's some kind of reincarnated starving ghost?
but.
Why not eat it if it's free?
"Okay!"
Qi Jinzhao: "..."
Then the palace maids quickly retreated, and Xi Xingxue took the opportunity to sit down and start eating.
He ate very quickly, devouring the food in no time.
Qi Jinzhao was completely stunned.
Slender fingers caressed the skin on his chin, the crown prince's gaze strange. "So, is the Imperial Preceptor truly an enlightened master from Lingyun Immortal Mountain?"
Xi Xingxue elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth, then raised her cool phoenix eyes to look at him: "Hmm?"
Qi Jinzhao laughed in a chilling way: "I've never seen such a greedy Taoist priest as you."
"..."
Xi Xingxue was speechless.
After Qi Jinzhao finished speaking, he watched Xi Xingxue's expression for a while, finding it amusing.
However, not long after, he was shocked to find that he could not possibly be interested in this foolish, selfish, vicious, lecherous, and fraudulent national advisor.
Even if he has a penchant for men, he shouldn't be so indiscriminate in his sexuality.
Thinking of this, Qi Jinzhao instantly reverted to his cold expression and said with a flick of his sleeve, "You should take a good look at this celestial phenomenon. If you can't see anything, then you can expect to be beheaded."
After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly.
Xi Xingxue felt contempt in her heart.
What's wrong with you? Beheading me? What have I done to offend you again?
He was standing there giving Qi Jinzhao the middle finger.
......
Observing celestial phenomena is impossible; Xi Xingxue doesn't know how.
He pretended to fiddle with the stargazing instrument for a while, gave a result that the weather would be favorable for a period of time, and then swaggered home.
When I returned home, the moon was high in the sky, and the lights of thousands of homes were swallowed up by the night, but the Imperial Preceptor's Hall remained brightly lit.
Upon seeing Xi Xingxue's white figure, the people at the entrance of the Imperial Preceptor's Hall immediately shouted, "Imperial Preceptor!"
Xi Xingxue hummed in agreement and stepped inside.
His servants quickly followed him.
"Your Excellency, may I ask who you will favor today? Is it... Xiao Yinzi?"
The Imperial Advisor likes beautiful women, but dislikes rebellious ones. Xie Yin has been trained for quite some time and is now obedient, so he deserves to be "favored".
However, Xi Xingxue did not want to favor Xie Yin.
All he needs to do is eventually walk around and let Xie Yin find evidence that he is a useless imperial advisor who concocted fake pills.
