Chapter 99 Miss Han is so weak

After Qingying's coming and going, the breakfast in front of her had already gone cold.

The queen was really hungry at this moment. She reluctantly took the chopsticks that Qingying handed over and said, "I'll just have a bite."

"I'll pick out the fish bones for you." Qingying picked up the chopsticks and carefully removed the fish meat from the fish bones, then put it into the Empress's bowl.

The queen sighed, thinking that as a queen and the mother of a country, if she was worrying about her three meals a day, wouldn't she be laughed at if this got out?

She picked up the fish in front of her and put it into her mouth and chewed it. Her beautiful eyes lit up. The fish was just ordinary fish, but the taste was very special. Even though she liked spicy food, she thought it was very delicious.

After finishing the fish in her mouth, the queen didn't wait for Qingying to serve the dishes. She directly grasped the chopsticks and reached into the fish dish, picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth to eat. She still felt it was delicious after the second bite.

Qingying has served the Empress for decades and knows her preferences and habits very well. Especially in the past two years, the Empress' appetite has been getting worse and worse, and she rarely eats a second bite of a dish.

Seeing the queen taking another piece of meat, he asked, "Madam, how does it taste?"

"Not bad." The queen said, picking up another piece and putting it into her mouth.

Qingying heard this and happily poured another bowl of hot porridge and placed it in front of the empress, "Your Majesty, have some porridge."

The queen ate a bowl of porridge with the fish. She put down her chopsticks in satisfaction only after she had eaten all the fish except the head and tail. She then wiped the corners of her lips with the handkerchief handed to her by Qingying.

"This fish is well cooked. This is the first time I have tasted such a special fish."

Qingying saw the queen eating a whole fish and a bowl of porridge, and said happily: "Your Majesty, perhaps the prince knew that your appetite was poor, so he specially ordered the chef to make it."

The queen sighed when she heard this, "I didn't realize that he is so cold and icy on weekdays, but he is so filial. It's hard for him."

Qingying smiled and said, "The prince was also very popular when he was young."

When the queen heard about the prince's childhood, she remembered some things and her face looked unhappy. "Please clear the food." After saying that, she stood up and left.

Qingying sighed and ordered the food to be removed.

Xiao Jinyu thought of the beautiful lady who was kept in the house outside. She hadn't visited her in the palace for some time, so she chose a sunny day and left the palace.

As soon as Xiao Jinyu stepped into the house, he heard a leisurely piano sound. He walked over and saw a figure sitting in the pavilion. He couldn't describe the figure. He said he was tall, but she was a woman. He said she was slim, but not as delicate and short as a woman.

Never mind, she is a beauty anyway. We can’t erase the fact that she is a beauty just because she is tall and pretty.

"Miss Han, I'm in a good mood today."

Xiao Jinyu walked into the pavilion with a leisurely step.

Miss Han stopped playing the zither and looked sideways at Xiao Jinyu. "It's amazing that Mr. Xiao still remembers me."

Xiao Jinyu was a little embarrassed. As a "weak" girl, she was inevitably a little scared when she was placed in a strange house.

"Miss Han, I have a lot of things to do at home, so I can't spare the time to visit you. Please don't be offended."

Miss Han did not comment: "Mr. Xiao, are you here to take me back this time?"

It would be fine if I didn't mention this, but once I mentioned this, Xiao Jinyu felt even more guilty.

"Miss Han, you don't understand my family's situation. My family is very big, different from other families. It's not easy to bring someone back."

Miss Han retracted her gaze, revealing a cold sadness and disappointment in her eyes, "It turns out that Mr. Xiao was not dealing with this matter during the days he was away."

Xiao Jinyu was unwilling to let the beauty feel sad, so he promised: "Miss Han, I promise to arrange it as soon as possible, please give me some time."

Miss Han lowered her eyebrows and looked at the strings of the zither without answering.

Xiao Jinyu knew that she was really sad this time, so he had to change the subject, "I haven't asked Miss Han what her full name is yet?"

Han Yan: "Han Yan."

Xiao Jinyu repeated it silently: Han Yan, what a special name.

He suggested with a smile: "Miss Han, you must feel bored staying at home, why don't I take you out shopping?"

Han Yan said in a cold voice: "Okay."

Xiao Jinyu ordered, "Ping'er, bring a cloak for Miss Han."

Ping'er was a maid bought by Xiao Jinyu, specifically to serve Han Yan.

"Yes." Ping'er turned around and trotted into the house to get the moon-white fox fur cloak, and handed it to Han Yan with both hands.

When Xiao Jinyu was a child, he saw his father putting a cloak on his mother. The scene was warm and beautiful. As a man, he felt it necessary to put it on Miss Han.

"Give it to me."

Ping'er had no choice but to hand the cloak to Xiao Jinyu.

When Han Yan saw this, he stood up and waited.

Xiao Jinyu took the cloak from Ping'er's hand and shook it out. When he was about to put it on Han Yan, he found that Miss Han was too tall. The posture and movement of him holding the cloak did not look beautiful at all, but looked weird.

Han Yan asked: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jinyu was a little embarrassed, "Nothing, just sit down."

"Okay." Han Yan sat down again.

Xiao Jinyu looked at the beautiful lady sitting there. This was the correct way to tie a cloak.

After tying his cloak, Xiao Jinyu took Miss Han out, like a young man taking his lover out on the street.

"Miss Han, if you like anything, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."

Han Yan nodded, "Yeah."

After walking around, Han Yan didn't buy anything. Xiao Jinyu stopped at a stall. He squatted down and stared at the plush thing in the frame for a while. The mouth of the thing was a little different from the one he bought last time. The last time the mouth was pointed, but this one was flat.

Han Yan also squatted down.

When Xiao Jinyu saw her squatting down, he turned around and asked her, "Do you think this is cute?"

Han Yan nodded.

Xiao Jinyu's peach blossom eyes curved, "I think they are cute too. Sure enough, girls will think they are cute."

Han Yan: “…”

Xiao Jinyu thought that she still owed the Crown Prince 5,000 taels of gold, so she bought a few cuties for him and slowed down the repayment period.

Xiao Jinyu bought six, which means good luck and good fortune.

Holding the cage, he turned around and asked Han Yan, "Miss Han, don't you have anything you like?"

Han Yan shook his head.

Xiao Jinyu thought that it was a rare opportunity to take Miss Han out for a stroll, so he couldn't go home empty-handed. He saw a stall selling hairpins that looked pretty, so he walked over, picked one that looked elegant, and turned around to put it in Miss Han's hair.

He held up the hairpin, found a place to insert it, admired it for a few seconds, smiled and said, "It looks pretty good."

Han Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyu's crescent-shaped peach blossom eyes, as if he had done something happy.

After paying the money, Xiao Jinyu walked back with the cage.

Ping'er couldn't bear to watch this, so she whispered, "Miss Han, your hairpin is worn crookedly." How can a hairpin be inserted straight in the middle...

Han Yan raised his hand and touched the hairpin on his hair, which was exactly in the middle. He pulled it out and reinserted it from the side.
