Chapter 158 What do you want to eat?
It was not until after dinner that Huo Jinchi returned to Tongming Hall.
Yun Qin immediately brought Rong Xin to greet him, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
The word "minister" seemed to be held in the mouth for a while before it was called out, revealing shyness and tactfulness, which made Huo Jinchi's heart skip a beat.
He reached out and pulled Yun Qin up, holding her slightly cold hand, and looking at the joy on her brows, he couldn't help but smile.
"Still like it?"
Yun Qin raised her eyelashes to look at him, then quickly lowered them, "Your Majesty, of course I like it."
As they looked at each other, the air between them seemed to rise a few degrees, becoming more charming.
She seemed to notice it, and her face quickly turned red. The hand held in Hawking Chi's palm curled up slightly, as if she was pinching his palm.
Hawking Chi's breathing became heavier. He realized belatedly that the little palace maid was a little different today, but he couldn't tell what was different.
Maybe it was because she changed into new clothes, which made her look slimmer with long legs and a graceful figure, or maybe it was because she looked good today, her charming complexion shone through her eyebrows, eyes, lips and teeth.
In short, more attractive than usual.
His heart suddenly felt boiling, but he forced himself to suppress it and glanced at Xu An behind him.
Xu An understood what he meant, "Today is a good day to agree. I will order someone to prepare dinner."
After saying this, he called on everyone else to leave the hall.
The three words "good days" made Yun Qin's eyelashes tremble slightly. She bit her lips lightly and dared not look at Huo Jinchi.
Did he guess what she was thinking...
Huo Jinchi had guessed it, but he did not follow her wishes. He just took her hand and sat on the couch, sitting on both sides of the low table.
Looking at the leisurely Hawking Chi, Yun Qin was stunned.
Does he really not understand, or is he teasing her on purpose?
She was so angry that she stamped her feet, what a bastard!
Huo Jinchi saw Yun Qin's stunned expression and the embarrassment that followed. He suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up and whispered, "Since it's your lucky day, I'll order someone to make you something you want to eat."
I want to eat dog meat!
Yun Qin gritted her teeth, glanced at him, and replied, "I don't have anything special I want to eat."
This self-proclaimed claim made Hawking tighten his grip on the jade beads on his wrist, but his face remained calm and he was about to speak.
The palace door that was closed when Xu An left was pushed open again with a creak.
Afterwards, Xiao Dezi walked in with his head almost hanging down to his chest, and said with his shoulders hunched, "Your Majesty, Concubine De has sent someone to say that the eldest prince is crying. Please go and take a look."
His face was shivering, but there was some coldness in his eyes.
Everyone in the palace knows that today is my sister's big day, but the eldest prince is not feeling well again at this time. It seems like he is deliberately making things difficult for my sister!
After hearing this, Huo Jinchi did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Yun Qin's expression.
Yun Qin could of course guess what Concubine De was thinking, and naturally became a little angry. The blush on her face faded instantly, but the corners of her eyes turned a little red due to her emotional ups and downs.
Seeing Huo Jinchi looking at her, she immediately bit her lower lip. He had already come to her door, she couldn't just back down!
"Your Majesty..." She stretched out her hand hesitantly and hooked the hem of Huo Jinchi's clothes.
She was very shy and never got too close to him in public, let alone doing something as ambiguous as pulling his clothes in front of others.
Huo Jinchi's throat suddenly felt dry. After rolling his throat twice, he finally found his voice and said to Xiao Dezi, "Let Zhang Zhian pass."
"Yes." Xiao Dezi was delighted, but did not dare to raise his head and immediately retreated.
A palace maid named Furong, who was standing outside next to Concubine De, saw the young eunuch coming out of the hall. She was about to ask him something when she saw him turn around and close the door again.
Her face froze, but she noticed that the eunuch didn't even look at her, but walked straight up to Xu An and spoke in his ear.
Xu An raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, looked at him, then looked at Furong, and said with a smile: "The emperor may not have time to visit the eldest prince today, but he has asked me to invite Doctor Zhang Yu. Do you want to go with me or return to Dongyang Palace?"
"Eunuch Xu." Furong was unwilling to accept this, and hurriedly said, "This young eunuch has made it clear that the eldest prince is not feeling well and is clamoring to see the emperor! Please, eunuch, allow me to go in and report to the emperor in person."
The smile on Xu An's face faded a little. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not stop it.
But what is the situation inside now? How dare he ruin the emperor's good deeds? Today is a good day for Xi Dahe, and it may not be a bad day for the emperor.
Xi has been here for so long, and he has seen through all the times he has been so soft to the emperor. How could the emperor be willing to let go?
"You know the emperor's temper. Why don't you go with the Za family to invite Doctor Zhang Yu?"
Furong wanted to explain, but seeing Xu An's indifferent expression, she could only suppress her emotions and force a smile, "Eunuch Xu, if the queen blames me, I can't bear it."
"We will have our say with Madam Defei."
Even if he was scolded by Concubine De today, it was better than going into the palace. If he did this, he would offend two people!
Since he said so, Furong could only grit her teeth and leave, and when she left, she shook her sleeves at Xu An and Xiao Dezi.
Xu An curled his lips and whispered to Xiao Dezi, "Be smart, it won't be too late to order dinner after they call from inside."
"I know."
He glanced at the tightly closed palace door, his eyes showing a slightly complicated expression, but his mind was firm.
No one can disturb my sister's good deeds!
In the palace, Yun Qin didn't think it was a good thing.
As soon as Xiao Dezi left, Huo Jinchi could no longer suppress the smile on his lips. Yun Qin looked at him for a while, and tears fell from her eyes.
On the one hand, I feel ashamed, and on the other hand, I feel angry.
How did she get involved with such a bastard!
At this time, Huo Jinchi had already held her in his arms and coaxed her softly, "I have already sent the people away, why are you still crying!"
Yun Qin patted his shoulder, "Your Majesty knows it in your heart!"
"Yeah, I know." Huo Jinchi held her fist, put it on his lips and kissed it, "Don't hurt yourself."
Hearing him being so shameless, Yun Qin almost burst into tears out of anger.
How can he be so shameless!
Hawking Chi kissed the back of her hand, then moved to her wrist where marks were still left, then rubbed her temples and landed on her neck.
Yun Qin's sobbing voice gradually changed tone.
She stretched out her hand to refuse, but he gently stopped her and said slowly and hoarsely in her ear: "I have asked Zhang Zhian."
Yun Qin tilted her neck back and took a moment to react before she understood what he meant. Her pupils dilated slightly and she raised her hand to hit him again.
But her hand was grabbed again, and before she could react, she was lifted into the air. Layers of gauze passed before her eyes, and finally only the intricate and gorgeous bed curtains were left.
The quilt was a little cold, and she couldn't help curling up, but someone held her down.
Slowly and gently, everything came naturally.
