"Father, no, this isn't a good idea."
Helian Si stammered as he spoke, his heart filled with reluctance, especially when he saw the unfriendly look in Consort Lian's eyes.
Helian Si's desire to retreat grew even stronger. It was indeed her fault; she hadn't informed the head guard before rushing in.
Look at you, look at you! You finally get to see the concubines in the harem at Father Emperor's Sleeping Dragon Palace, and you just let yourself be caught!
What a sin! What a sin! I've delayed the arrival of my little brother or sister into this world!
Helian Nie wasn't unaware of the unfriendly look in Consort Lian's eyes as she looked at Helian Si. He frowned in displeasure and said in a cold voice, "Get out."
Okay!
Helian Si thought the conversation was directed at him, so his face lit up, and he agreed and turned to run away.
Consort Lian thought so too, and was secretly delighted. She had never gained any face in front of the Emperor when the princess was around.
I never expected that the Emperor would be willing to reprimand Helian Si for my sake.
Has the Emperor finally come to his senses? The princess will eventually get married, and only I am the one who can stay by his side forever.
“I wasn’t talking about you, Helian Si, come here.”
Helian Nie's face was as black as ink, almost dripping with water. It was one thing for Consort Lian to be like this, but this ugly thing was too.
Just a moment ago, she was following Nan Rong Jinghua around, acting like Nan Rong Jinghua's little wife, pitifully apologizing to him. Now, in the blink of an eye, she's become capable again?
"ah?"
Helian Si's quick and nimble little steps, which were about to rush out the door, suddenly stopped. What?
Consort Lian's face turned deathly pale instantly. If the Emperor's words weren't directed at the princess, then they were meant for her.
The hand holding the chopsticks froze instantly. A forced smile appeared on her face as she put down the chopsticks, gave a slight bow, and turned to leave the hall.
As he passed Helian Si, he accidentally bumped into him, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred, clearly wanting Helian Si to die on the spot.
Helian Si: "…………"
Well, Aunt Lian, you probably won't believe me if I say I didn't do it on purpose, right?
Helian Si felt that Aunt Lian definitely wouldn't believe it, and might even want to kill him in her heart.
So innocent, really...
"Aren't you coming over?"
Seeing that Helian Si was still standing dumbfounded at the door with a variety of expressions, Helian Nie wanted to send Changying to the back mountain to cut bamboo strips.
"They're here, they're here."
There was no turning back, and Helian Si gave up trying to salvage the situation.
She obediently walked towards Helian Nie, forgetting even the slight awkwardness that remained after the argument, and forgetting why she had come in the first place.
"have eaten?"
Helian Nie tapped his long, slender fingers on the table. The ugly fellow had come at this time, probably to hear the news of his impending personal campaign.
Every meal for the emperor was meticulously prepared by the imperial kitchen; its color, aroma, and taste were naturally exceptional.
The aroma alone made Helian Si swallow hard, completely losing his composure. Helian Si had just been at Yongqing Palace...
Helian Si had only just had a sip of soup on the first floor before stopping, and was naturally hungry now, so he honestly shook his head.
"No."
Helian Nie slightly curved his lips, raising his chin slightly towards the table of delicacies before him. Under Helian Si's expectant gaze, and not disappointing him, he parted his thin lips slightly.
"Eat."
Xiao Linzi was observant; seeing that Helian Si was coming, he had already prepared chopsticks. Now that the emperor had spoken, he had the prepared bowls and chopsticks placed on the table.
