"You can give it a try."
Jiang Jingyue wouldn't dare eat this kind of thing, so when she heard Tuoba Zheng say that, she shook her head without hesitation and pushed the food back.
"No need, you eat. I'll just watch you eat. I'm full just watching you eat."
She wasn't actually full, but rather too nauseous to eat. She couldn't understand why anyone would like to eat such a thing.
When she saw Tuoba cut a piece of meat with a blank expression and put it in his mouth, Jiang Jingyue almost lost control of herself.
Tuoba Zheng noticed her expression and waved his hand, signaling a servant standing some distance away to come and take the things away.
"How is your foot? If it's better, then leave! I won't stay here for long either. I'll be going back to my own country soon. I won't stay here for very long."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue looked at him in a flustered manner, her eyes filled with worry.
"Then...then can you take me with you? I...I ran away secretly. When I go back, my parents are going to marry me off to an old man. I'm scared, so I ran away."
I heard that old man kills without blinking an eye, eats human flesh, and drinks human blood. I... sob sob sob.
When she finished speaking, Jiang Jingyue burst into tears. She looked pitiful, her eyes filled with fear, and her little body trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing her like this, Tuoba Zheng felt a pang of pain and discomfort in his heart for some reason. He glanced at Jiang Jingyue in front of him and couldn't help but ask.
"If you don't want to get married, you can tell your parents clearly. You don't have to force yourself."
When Jiang Jingyue heard this, her eyes instantly welled up with tears, as if she would burst into tears if Tuoba Zheng said another word.
Tuoba Zhengping usually finds women's constant crying annoying, but when he saw Jiang Jingyue about to cry, he didn't know why, but he didn't feel anything for her.
“Tuoba Zheng, you can tell me when you want to leave. I will leave. As for home, I will not go back. My father doesn't care about me; he only thinks about his own interests. My mother is dead, and my current mother is my stepmother. I should have been the one to marry; she is my older sister, but…”
Although Jiang Jingyue didn't finish her sentence, Tuoba Zheng thought about it carefully and realized what she hadn't said.
Suddenly, he felt a little sorry for the little woman in front of him.
"Alright, since that's the case, you can stay here! You can go out and wander around when you have nothing to do, but when I'm about to leave, you can think about it carefully before deciding whether to come with me or not."
If you haven't changed your mind by then, I'll take you with me.
Just as Tuoba finished speaking, a servant came up carrying something.
"Your Majesty, the milk cake and hot milk you ordered are ready."
As the servant approached, Jiang Jingyue smelled a strong milky aroma. Upon smelling it, she couldn't help but swallow, looking at Tuoba Zheng with anticipation in her eyes.
Tuoba Zheng brought it over and placed it in front of Jiang Jingyue.
"Drink up! Look how thin you are. Drinking more of this is good for your health. Drink more so you can grow bigger."
Tuoba Zheng was mainly concerned about Jiang Jingyue's figure, which was not even half the size of the women in their area, so he couldn't help but worry when he saw her like this.
"Have you been eating properly? Why are you so small? How old are you this year?"
Seeing that Tuoba Zheng had asked so many questions at once, Jiang Jingyue took a sip of milk before looking up at him.
At this moment, Jiang Jingyue suddenly realized that Tuoba Zheng in front of her was really too tall. When she stood up, she didn't even reach his shoulder, but only his arm. No wonder Tuoba Zheng thought she was too short.
This Tuoba Zheng is estimated to be around 1.9 meters tall, which is really too tall.
Upon hearing Tuoba Zheng's words, Jiang Jingyue immediately became dissatisfied.
"It's not because I'm too short, it's because you're too tall. My height is considered tall in our country. If you don't believe me, you can go outside and see for yourself if what I'm saying is true."
Hearing Jiang Jingyue's eager rebuttal, Tuoba Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, then I'll reluctantly believe you. But you should still drink more of this. It definitely won't do you any harm. Also, this milk cake is something little girls especially love. You can try it too."
Seeing him keep urging her to eat, Jiang Jingyue could only pick up a piece of milk cake and eat it.
C ate one piece and immediately felt nauseous, mainly because it was too sweet. She didn't really like it and preferred to drink more milk.
Perhaps because she drank it too quickly, there was a light ring of milk stains around Jiang Jingyue's mouth.
Seeing her like this, Tuoba felt an urge to lick it off for Jiang Jingyue.
However, he only thought it in his heart; he couldn't actually do it, since the woman in front of him had nothing to do with him.
This was the first time Tuoba Zheng had ever been so interested in a woman. In the past, he would have wanted to stay far away from other women, but this time was different.
For some reason, this Han Chinese girl really captivated him.
In the end, Tuoba Zheng could only take out his silk scarf and let Jiang Jingyue wipe her mouth.
"Wipe it off! You got it on your mouth."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue immediately stuck out her tongue and licked it.
Seeing Jiang Jingyue's actions, Tuoba Zheng's expression changed instantly.
At this moment, his eyes darkened as he looked at Jiang Jingyue, and a sudden surge of heat welled up in his body, though he himself didn't know why.
At this moment, Jiang Jingyue had no idea how charming she looked in Tuoba Zheng's eyes.
Tuoba Zheng couldn't take his eyes off her. He had a strong feeling that the woman in front of him belonged to him.
Although he didn't know why he had this feeling, Tuoba Zheng felt that there must be a reason for it, and he decided to have someone investigate the background of the little woman in front of him later.
Just as Tuoba was about to say something, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know the name of the little woman in front of him.
He stood up, staring at Jiang Jingyue with a serious expression. "Woman, what's your name?"
His voice carried a hint of lingering affection, and what's worse, as Tuoba spoke these words, he moved closer to Jiang Jingyue, his warm breath brushing against her cheek, making her feel a little itchy.
