Chapter 109: The Emperor Flirts While Talking About Business
At the same time, Ji Qingwu's body trembled.
She was innocent and was kicked again.
The man used more force this time.
Her eyes were wide open, and her black eyeballs moved back and forth as she looked at Emperor Wu Su and her husband.
Ji Qingwu was trying to figure out who was kicking her with malicious intent.
It was as if there was a rhythm. As soon as the eldest princess finished speaking, the man kicked her.
Ji Qingwu's slightly hesitant look met the emperor's eyes, as if she was moved by the eldest princess' words and was silently condemning him.
Emperor Wu Su's expression turned cold.
Ji Qingwu actually didn't even listen to Princess Huachang's words completely. She was only thinking about where the foot came from...
This time, after careful deduction, she figured out that the kick came from the opposite side.
She glared at Yuchi Lianping, but the prince consort's eyes were on the princess and he didn't notice her.
However, Princess Huachang happened to catch her dissatisfied look, and she asked, "Miss Ji, do you have any objection to what I said?"
Ji Qingwu pursed her lips and quickly shook her head. She felt a cold air coming from all directions.
The cold faces of these two royal siblings are really similar. However, Princess Huachang's coldness was only superficial and lingered only around her.
The coldness of Emperor Wu Su was so deep that the air around him was condensed.
Somehow, Ji Qingwu hugged his arms and sneezed. Maybe his hair was half dry when he was standing outside the tent just now, and he caught a cold.
Seeing her sniffing pitifully and her nose turning a little red, Emperor Wu Su pushed the cup of hot tea on his table towards her.
Ji Qingwu did not refuse. He held the teacup in Yubai's palm, lowered his head and took a sip obediently.
A warm current flowed into Ji Qingwu's stomach and he curled up the corners of his lips comfortably. Seeing this, the emperor's expression also eased a little.
Princess Huachang's expression changed several times.
The emperor, who had never served anyone before, was particularly good at serving tea, but the girl from the Ji family also accepted it naturally. She would never believe that there was nothing between them.
But I'm talking about serious business here, but the emperor is flirting? !
But if you want to flirt, you must first have feelings.
Princess Huachang was shocked when she had this thought. She wondered how the heartless Emperor Wu Su could become a sentimental person.
Then she frowned and found that she was the one who was even more unacceptable.
Her personality is similar to that of her younger brother, and her current behavior is a complete change of temperament. She even begins to stand up for this reckless man and confronts the emperor despite the great disapproval.
Princess Huachang was still shaken.
Yuchi Lianping felt that the girl from the Ji family was really a lucky star. When he sneezed, the two of them no longer looked cold.
He took the opportunity to liven up the atmosphere and said, "Is this an injury? This is a man's medal of honor. Others would like to be scratched by a black bear, but they are not so lucky."
Ji Qingwu also came to her senses and thought that the prince consort kicked her because he probably wanted her to join in and persuade him.
She echoed, "The prosperity of a country depends on sacrificing one's own family for the sake of the country. The general's military medals also belong half to the eldest princess."
Yuchi Lianping couldn't help nodding. This girl was very good and what she said made sense. It was only slightly worse than what he had just said.
The atmosphere in the tent finally eased.
Li Yuzong also breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward at the right time and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial meal is ready."
Emperor Wu Su said, "Serve the meal."
Several young eunuchs came in quickly.
They first placed the golden bowls and plates on the dining table, and even the soup spoons were made of Han jade inlaid with red sandalwood silver.
Six food boxes were opened, containing more than a dozen exquisite meals.
Every time a dish was served, Ji Qingwu stared at the table and said in her mind that she had never eaten it.
The covered silver hot pot contained sea cucumber stewed with pork tendons and Wensi tofu soup, and the plates contained hanging oven fried chicken, goose gizzard soup, deer tendon and venison, bamboo-wrapped steamed buns, and four side dishes on enamel plates.
No wonder the emperor didn’t eat roasted meat before. The imperial meal is not at the same level as this.
Ji Qingwu took a shower and felt that his stomach seemed to be emptier, but he could still eat a little more.
Li Yuzong took out the Yuquan wine that had been warmed on the charcoal fire and stuffed it into her hand. After doing this, he led the young eunuchs to retreat to the side.
There was no need to ask this time, Ji Qingwu understood what Eunuch Li meant. After helping the emperor to dress, she also had to help the emperor drink.
But just now Emperor Wu Su gave her a cup of hot tea, and she gave him a cup of warm wine, so there was nothing wrong with that.
She filled the blue and white cup with wine. Her white wrist and jade-colored fingers reflected the yellowish wine in the cup, making it even more fragrant.
Ji Qingwu said softly: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Wu Su took the blue and white cup and brushed her wrist with his calloused fingertips. It was unclear whether it was intentional.
Obviously, what the two of them did was far more than just touching hands, but in front of Princess Huachang and Yuchi Lianping, Ji Qingwu felt uneasy.
The more she didn't want them to know what was going on between her and the emperor, the more nervous she became. It was originally just a matter of toasting, but when he rubbed her wrist, her whole hand shook violently, and the wine spilled onto the back of the emperor's hand.
Emperor Wu Su was not angry, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
"I don't eat humans, why am I shaking?"
Ji Qingwu tried to make amends by picking up the towel next to the plate and handing it to him, but he did not take it and raised his eyebrows at her.
After all, he is the honorable Emperor. She took a deep breath.
Under the gaze of the eldest princess and her husband, Ji Qingwu took the towel with a flushed face and washed his hands, as if she was holding a hot potato. She put it down quickly after wiping it clean and almost threw the towel on the emperor's face.
Emperor Wu Su did not pursue the matter. He was the first to pick up his chopsticks, and only then did others dare to move.
Ji Qingwu was already almost full for this meal, so he just drank a few sips of soup and ate a few of the side dishes he wanted.
During the meal, Princess Huachang noticed that she had a small appetite and thought that she was frightened by the confrontation between her and the emperor just now.
The eldest princess used a serving chopstick to pick up an emerald white jade roll specifically for her. Ji Qingwu was flattered as she looked at the hint of green in the bowl.
The emperor also turned and glanced at the eldest princess. Princess Huachang spoke caring words in a cold voice.
"Miss Ji, eat more. You look too thin and frail, as if you could be blown down by a gust of wind."
The deer tendons in Yuchi Lianping's bowl suddenly lost their fragrance and his mouth felt sour. He had never enjoyed such treatment before. The princess had never served him any food.
He squinted at Ji Qingwu and said jealously, "The princess is absolutely right. The shaking of your hands may be caused by hunger. You should eat, but don't starve yourself to death."
Just as he finished speaking, Yuchi Lianping suddenly felt a pain in his elbow, as if someone had pressed a numb point.
I couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily and they fell to the ground with a clatter.
Just after saying that someone else's hands were shaking, he made a big fool of himself, General Yuchi:......
Emperor Wu Su said, "Give the general another bowl of rice, his hands are shaking from hunger."
Li Yuzong picked up the chopsticks with a smile, handed over a new pair, and said in a strange tone: "General Yuchi has already eaten three bowls of rice, so his hands should not be shaking because of hunger."
Ji Qingwu pursed his lips and smiled, then chewed the jade roll intentionally, making a crunching sound.
