By the time Qingying had gone back and forth, the breakfast in front of her had already gone cold.

The queen was really hungry at this moment. She reluctantly took the chopsticks 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 bones, then put it into the Queen's bowl.

The queen sighed, thinking that as a queen and the mother of a country, she was worried about three meals a day. Wouldn't it be a joke if it got out? She picked up the fish in front of her and put it into her mouth to chew. 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 dish. 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 Queen for decades and is familiar with her preferences. Especially in the past two years, the Queen's appetite has become worse and worse, and she rarely eats a second bite of a dish.

Now seeing the queen pick up another piece herself, he asked, "Madam, how does it taste?"

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

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

The queen ate a bowl of porridge with the fish. She put down her chopsticks in satisfaction when only the head and tail of the fish were left. She 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 a child."

When the queen heard about the prince's childhood, she remembered something and her face looked a little unhappy. "Remove 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 Han who was kept in the house outside. He hadn't been out of the palace to see her for some time, so he chose a sunny day to leave the palace.

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

Forget it, she is a beauty anyway. We cannot 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 graceful step.

Miss Han stopped plucking the strings of her zither when she heard this and turned her head to look at Xiao Jinyu, "It's amazing that Master Xiao still remembers me."

Xiao Jinyu felt 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 come and see 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 this wasn't mentioned, but once it was mentioned, Xiao Jinyu felt even more guilty.

"Miss Han, you don't know the situation of my family. My family is very big, different from other families. It is 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 reluctant 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 in the house, why don't I take you out shopping?"

Xiao Jinyu ordered, "Ping'er, get 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 a 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 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 and shook it open. When he was about to put it on Han Yan, he found that Miss Han was too tall. His posture and movement of 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."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Okay." Han Yan sat down again.

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

After tying his cloak, Xiao Jinyu took Miss Han out the door, 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 fluffy thing in the frame for a while. The mouth 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.

Seeing her squatting down, Xiao Jinyu 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, all girls think they are cute."

Han Yan: “…”

Xiao Jinyu thought about the fact that she still owed the Crown Prince 5,000 taels of gold, so she bought a few cuties for him and took them back to him to slow down the repayment period.

Xiao Jinyu bought six, which means good luck.

He turned around and asked Han Yan while holding the cage, "Miss Han, don't you have anything you like?"

Han Yan shook his head.

Xiao Jinyu thought that since he had brought Miss Han out for a stroll, 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, and said with a smile: "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 carrying the cage.

Ping'er couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "Miss Han, your hairpin is worn crookedly." How can a hairpin be inserted directly from 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.
