Chapter 287 Don’t Eat Spicy Food
When Si Linglong led little Li Sheng into the carriage, Helian Yue had already sat down and pretended to pick up a book beside him.
Helian Yue glanced at her, and without waiting for her to greet him, he said casually, "It will take nearly two hours to reach the next provincial capital. Since my beloved concubine is here, please read books for me to relieve my boredom along the way."
Si Linglong's foot, which had just stepped in, froze instantly when she heard these words.
She stood at the car door, feeling as if struck by lightning.
[Again, read again?! ]
Helian Yue looked at her reaction, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
But he pretended to be sullen and asked, "Why? My beloved concubine has been reading military books for Concubine Quan all the way, and now you are not happy about it when you come to me?"
Si Linglong thought, how did he know that she had read military books all the way from Concubine Quan?
When he met the subtle teasing in Helian Yue's eyes, he suddenly understood.
"Did the Emperor do this on purpose?"
[As expected of you, Gouzi. 】
Helian Yue: ...
She could make a dog bark in so many different ways that Helian Yue didn't know whether to be angry or amused.
But hearing her slightly hoarse voice, Helian Yue stopped teasing her.
"Come here." Helian Yue gestured to the location beside him.
Si Linglong pretended not to see and led little Li Sheng to squeeze onto the soft couch next to Xueshan.
Xue Sha, who was originally sleeping soundly, was squeezed so hard that he had no place to turn over, so he simply stretched. His big fluffy tail with fox legs stretched directly to little Li Sheng. The tail was like a fur shawl, instantly wrapping up little Li Sheng.
Little Li Sheng straightened her waist immediately, looking as if she wanted to touch but didn't dare to, and let Xueshan's tail brush back and forth in her arms.
Si Linglong sometimes didn't quite understand the young man's attitude towards Xue Sha.
Logically speaking, she herself is a little monster, and most likely a little fox spirit, but she always allows Xue Sha to bully her and acts as if she dares not to resist.
Si Linglong was a little suspicious.
Could it be that even the monsters have heard of Xue Sha's reputation as a tyrant in the palace?
When Helian Yue saw that she sat down, she was completely focused on being abducted by Xueshan and the boy next to her, and she didn't seem to be upset with him because he kissed her earlier.
However, Hengshu had already boarded the car, and he did not want to push her too hard, so he just stayed with her and picked up the memorial on the small table next to him and began to read it.
Si Linglong couldn't help but glance at him.
[Having to read memorials all the time in the car, being an emperor is really hard. ]
Si Linglong expressed sympathy in her heart.
Helian Yue felt that the memorial in his hand suddenly didn't taste so good.
After reluctantly reading one, he put the memorial aside and closed his eyes to rest.
I heard her voice again.
[I feel tired after reading just one book. Is Da Gouzi feeling a little weak? 】
Helian Yue: ...
He suddenly opened his eyes and glared at her, "My beloved concubine, you have been looking at me, do you have something to say?"
Si Linglong was caught off guard. She felt that Xiao Lisheng and Xue Sha were looking at her at the same time because of what she said. Although she was stunned for a moment, she quickly regained her composure and explained sincerely.
"I just feel that Your Majesty is working too hard, and I feel sorry for you."
Helian Yue snorted in his heart, do you think I believe your lies?
…
The journey was peaceful and smooth. Helian Yue seemed to be silent, but in fact he was silently listening to her complaints in her heart.
The originally quiet carriage seemed less boring due to the occasional disturbance of her heartbeats.
Before dark, the cavalry entered the capital and rested in a wealthy garden that had been arranged in advance.
Although it was a tenant residence, the local prefect had already cleared the garden yesterday. When Si Linglong and her people got out of the car, they saw that there were imperial guards inside and outside the garden. The prefect of the capital stepped forward and carefully welcomed the emperor.
Helian Yue was too lazy to respond, so he dismissed the person and told Fu Tai, "Tell everyone to have dinner in their own rooms, and you should keep an eye on the Queen Mother's meals."
Fu Tai responded respectfully, and then asked, "Would Your Majesty and Concubine like to order dinner?"
Seeing that the emperor did not ask anyone to leave at this moment, Fu Tai knew that Concubine Lang Gui was going to have dinner with him.
Si Linglong's ears moved immediately.
The thought came to my mind instantly.
[Spicy hotpot! In such a cold day, eating spicy hotpot is the best! ]
She wanted to eat at lunch time, but unfortunately she was in the tent and it was not convenient to eat.
Helian Yue didn't even need to look at her, and directly expressed her inner expectations, "The weather is cold, let's put on a hot pot, um, it has to be spicy."
Si Linglong was immediately deeply moved by this sudden and tacit understanding.
Although the emperor's sincerity was unreliable, the dishes he ordered always touched her heart.
Very good! Very good!
Before Si Linglong could express her joy, she heard a soft voice from beside her, "I don't want anything spicy."
Helian Yue and several people around him subconsciously looked at the kid next to Si Linglong. Si Linglong seemed to suddenly think of something, her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly reached out to cover the kid's mouth.
However, it was too late. All they could hear was little Li Sheng saying in a serious voice, "If you eat spicy food, your mouth will swell."
