Chapter 578: No Soup
Helian Yue could see that the person she chose for Dai Jiangkuan was definitely not someone she decided on a whim.
Minister Cui's family is neither high nor low, and is more than enough to marry Jiang Kuang. Not only is there nothing wrong with him on the surface, but even for Helian Yue, even if the two families marry, it will not shake the current balance of power in the imperial guards.
From this we can see that she really put a lot of thought into Shu Hong.
In contrast, this person asked him for something but was unwilling to even make soup for him himself, which seemed very perfunctory.
Thinking of this, Helian Yue didn't want to agree to her request so easily. He simply coughed and picked up Qiao.
"Arranged marriage is a matter of life and death, so I need to consider it again."
Si Linglong felt a little depressed after hearing what he said.
[Didn’t you just let it go? ]
Helian Yue glanced at her and said, "When will I give in? You are trying to guess the emperor's intentions, but you are not sure yet."
Si Linglong seemed to understand.
It means she hasn't got the point yet.
It's not that she was not allowed to guess the emperor's intention, but that she didn't guess it correctly.
But Si Linglong really couldn't guess at the moment.
In the past, she might have tried to guess a little, but now that they were so close, she was too lazy to guess. She just hugged his arm and rubbed against him, speaking hesitantly.
"Then what do you want me to do to make you give in?"
As she asked the question, she suddenly kissed him on the cheek.
This tactic has always been effective in the past.
However, Helian Yue is no longer the kind of person who would be moved by such a light kiss.
His face remained motionless, but his eyes scanned the soup bowl beside him and he said, "I want to drink some soup."
Si Linglong thought that this person wanted to be fed, so she immediately went to get the bowl of soup to feed him.
Helian Yue frowned, not intending to speak. He just stared at her and spoke word by word, "I want to drink the soup that my beloved concubine made for me."
After running around for a palace maid, he couldn't even give her a bowl of soup.
Helian Yue felt it necessary to let her learn the basic qualities of being a favored concubine.
After hearing what Helian Yue said, Si Linglong finally understood what he meant.
only……
"I can make a kind of soup, but you may not like it."
Si Linglong spoke cautiously.
Helian Yue was about to say that he would drink anything she made, but he heard someone secretly adding,
[The fish soup I made can make cats who don’t like drinking water fall in love with drinking soup. ]
Helian Yue: ...
Besides researching recipes for small animals, can't she also research something for human food?
If Si Linglong knew what Helian Yue was complaining about at the moment, she would probably not be able to help but refute him.
In fact, the recipes she researched for small animals can also be eaten by humans.
For example, the roast chicken.
Helian Yue thought it was delicious at first, but when he heard that it was specially formulated according to the taste of foxes, he simply refused to eat it.
Not to mention the fish soup specially made for kittens.
Although she knew he wouldn't like it, Si Linglong still asked dutifully,
"Ayue, do you want to try my fish soup?"
Helian Yue simply glared at her, as if to say, "How dare you try to give me fish soup that cats drink?"
Si Linglong immediately shrank her neck with an embarrassed look on her face.
She didn't dare.
Helian Yue snorted coldly.
If it was before, she might have just coaxed him into agreeing directly, but now she was trying to appease him with fish soup for cats, so Helian Yue firmly refused to agree.
"If you want me to agree to your request, then go to the kitchen and learn how to make soup. When you are ready, we can talk about it later."
Helian Yue pointed to the door and said this, as if asking her to go and learn right away.
Si Linglong found it unbelievable.
I still don't quite understand him.
[It's enough that the soup tastes good, why do you care who made it? The emperor is just being hypocritical. ]
Si Linglong couldn't help but complain in her heart, but after she said it, she remembered that this person could hear it.
Sure enough, when he looked up, he met Helian Yue's almost angry eyes.
"Who are you calling hypocritical?"
Si Linglong almost jumped up from her seat, not daring to answer his question anymore, and turned around and ran, "I remembered that Xue Shan asked me to accompany her to sunbathe today, so I hurried back to sunbathe with her while there's still sunshine."
Having said that, he ran to the palace gate as fast as a flash of smoke, opened the door, and disappeared without a trace.
