Chapter 175: Heroic Competition
The two people who were having lunch heard the noise and turned to look.
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.
"I greet your majesty."
The voice is clearer and colder than before, but you can still hear traces of the previous voice.
He spoke respectfully, but his butt seemed to be stuck to the stool and didn't move at all.
Xin Hongying was extremely unhappy.
Xin Hongying followed his gaze, looked him up and down, and silently sized him up.
The two people's eyes met in the air, an invisible confrontation.
As they got closer, Xin Hongying discovered that his temperament had also changed a bit, like a cunning fox taking off his cold mask.
Her sharp gaze fell on his prominent Adam's apple and height, and she cursed herself inwardly for being blind.
Shen Tingyu still had a spring roll in his mouth, his cheeks slightly bulging.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
Xin Hongying's cold eyes fell on the newly changed bandages on her hands, and his big hands clenched even tighter.
This was not the bandage he had given her yesterday.
Someone re-bandaged her wound.
It’s Bai Feng!
Xin Hongying was very sure. With a glance of her cold eyes, she took in all of Bai Feng's movements, as well as his hidden thoughts.
I felt a little sad in my heart. How could she let me bandage her and then let someone else bandage her?
Because he bandaged it more beautifully!
Xin Hongying thought sourly, feeling indignant.
He said slowly to Shen Tingyu: “Wait, don’t move.”
Xin Hongying walked forward, raised her slender fingers, and used them to wipe away the spring roll crumbs on the corners of her lips. Her warm fingertips accidentally brushed across her rosy lips.
Shen Tingyu shrank his head, his heart pounding, and he tilted his head and said in his heart.
Tyrant, why are you so gentle today?
"There's something on the corner of your mouth, okay." Xin Hongying raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Feng quickly with his calm eyes.
Shen Tingyu said blankly: "Thank you..."
Bai Feng couldn't bear to see the two of them being so intimate. His eyes dimmed slightly, and the fingertips of his hand holding the chopsticks turned white from the force.
Xin Hongying stared at the delicacies on the table. "I have just finished reviewing the memorials and have not yet had lunch."
Shen Tingyu followed his words.
"If your Majesty doesn't mind, then please come along."
Xin Hongying immediately sat on Shen Tingyu’s left, “I don’t mind.”
The position on the dining table was a bit tricky, with Shen Tingyu sandwiched between the two of them, one on the left and one on the right.
Gao Tang, who was sent by the Queen Mother to clean the stables, returned to Xin Hongying's side to serve her.
Gao Tang immediately added another set of bowls and chopsticks.
Shen Tingyu had no objection, and Bai Feng had some objections in his heart, but he did not show them on the surface, and looked calm and elegant.
Xin Hongying scooped a spoonful of lotus seed tofu with her slender fingers and said, "Try this lotus seed tofu made by the imperial chef. It's white, tender, fresh, fragrant, refreshing and not greasy."
Greasy!
There was something hidden in Xin Hongying's words, and Bai Feng understood it. The veins in his arms were throbbing.
The tender white tofu was made into the shape of a lotus pod, with peas sprinkled on top as lotus seeds for garnish. Shen Tingyu's appetite was whetted by the sight.
She opened her mouth and took a bite, and her eyes were so bright and sparkling with starlight.
"tasty."
After saying that, Shen Tingyu stared straight at the Palace Fried Rabbit Meat, licked his lips greedily, and pointed with his finger, "I want to eat this, help me..."
Before she finished her words, the two of them had already stretched their chopsticks towards the Kung Pao Rabbit.
"Come! Try it."
The two said in unison.
Shen Tingyu was stunned. The spoon on the left and the chopsticks on the right were almost handed to her mouth at the same time. It was so worry-free, but...
She didn't know for a moment which one to eat first.
Shen Tingyu shuddered, “I…, I still want to eat that…that chicken!”
As a result, the rabbit meat that was near her mouth did not move at all.
Xin Hongying's dark eyes flickered as she urged, "Try this piece of rabbit meat. It's even more delicious. I picked it especially for you..."
Bai Feng: "My piece of rabbit meat is also good, with an even color. Besides, I got it first, so of course you should try mine."
Bai Feng also held the chopsticks stubbornly, as if he would keep holding them until she stopped eating.
Both of them were waiting for her choice.
Shen Tingyu first looked at Xin Hongying on the left, and then looked at Bai Feng on the right.
I feel a little embarrassed. What are these two people doing?
She just wanted to have a meal.
What's going on? It seems like no matter which side she chooses, the other side will be unhappy.
She took a deep breath and took a bite of rabbit meat on the left and then on the right. She wanted both!
Her cheeks were bulging, and she urged him on as she ate.
"Don't just focus on me, eat quickly."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Bai Feng's dark eyes. She did not taste the rabbit meat she had picked up first.
During lunch, with beauties serving on both sides, Shen Tingyu ate very happily, but his stomach was a little full and bloated.
She took the last bite and quickly waved her hands in surrender.
"No... I can't eat anymore..."
The meal on the table was cleared away, Shen Tingyu burped, wiped his lips with a handkerchief, and touched his slightly round belly with his fingers.
o(*￣︶￣*)o
This lunch can be described in one word——
Cool!
She was just a little full, and Shen Tingyu's eyes were half-closed comfortably.
However, she felt happy, but Xin Hongying and Bai Feng were not.
The lightning-fast eyes kept rubbing against each other in the air, producing bits of incense. If one could smell it, the smell of gunpowder must be extremely strong.
They all felt that Shen Tingyu was partial to the other party.
Xin Hongying carefully counted which bites she ate more and which ones she ate less, secretly competing with Bai Feng. She always felt that she liked the food Bai Feng gave her more, and she felt inexplicably angry in her heart.
If Shen Tingyu knew that he was actually thinking about this.
I can’t help but complain, it’s boring!
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes, and a thin shadow fell from his forehead, covering his delicate eyebrows and the dense clouds rolling in his dark eyes.
She treats herself differently from His Majesty!
Bai Feng sensed a difference from her subtle reaction.
Even if they were holding the same food, she would choose his over her own.
And the look she gave His Majesty could not deceive anyone.
Bai Feng knew in his heart that he had no chance.
In a place where Shen Tingyu couldn't see, Xin Hongying snorted coldly at Bai Feng, and his majestic aura instantly emanated from him.
Bai Feng was neither arrogant nor unrestrained, but calm and composed, as if he was watching a child having a tantrum.
Suddenly Bai Feng thought of something, reacted, narrowed his eyes, and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is my mother, and we are brothers with the same mother but different fathers."
Hearing this, Shen Tingyu instantly became interested, his eyes brightening slightly.
Xin Hongying felt a little complicated, if what her mother said before her death was true.
Bai Feng was the Queen Mother's illegitimate son.
