Chapter 472 Extra - Milk Tea
Ye Qingning assumed that Abao was just too heartbroken and was finally relieved. She stroked Abao's neck to comfort it and coax it to sleep.
Once she was sure Abao was asleep, she carefully got up and gently carried him to her own bed.
Chu Song stepped forward: "Let me do it."
"No need." Ye Qingning dodged slightly. "I'll handle Abao's matter myself."
Seeing the nervous expression on her face, Chu Song knew that she was just worried about her Ayan. At that moment, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She could only glance at Abao with mixed feelings and then make way for her.
Ye Qingning quickly returned and then instructed Xiaodie to stay with her in the bedroom to take care of things.
"Chu Song, this is none of your business. Go and rest."
Chu Song stood still, her gaze lingering on the Crown Prince lying on the bed: "I'm not sleepy, I'll stay here and keep watch."
Ye Qingning looked at him suspiciously: "You're not sleepy, but I am. How am I supposed to sleep with you here?"
Chu Song was taken aback for a moment: "If I'm not here, where do you plan to sleep?"
Ye Qingning's face clearly said, "None of your business."
Seeing that the Empress was about to get angry, Xiaodie quickly went over and said, "Chu Song, if the Empress tells you to leave, then leave. Why are you making so many noises? I'm here."
Chu Song looked at her: "You've been here all this time?"
"Um."
"You were here all night?"
Xiaodie's eyes also showed a hint of suspicion and impatience: "Yes."
Chu Song breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then I'll go down first."
After bowing to Ye Qingning, he left, but instead of returning to his room, he turned and headed towards the kitchen.
Ye Qingning raised her hand and rubbed her temples: "Xiao Die, this Chu Song... is he not quite right in the head? Was he squeezed in a door or kicked by a donkey?"
Xiao Die chuckled: "Your Majesty, please don't be offended. Chu Song has been stubborn since childhood, but he has never been disloyal to you."
Her voice lowered slightly: "Chu Song is definitely the one who values you more than the Crown Prince, otherwise why would Master feel comfortable sending him here to protect you?"
Ye Qingning understood Chu Song's reaction a bit more: "I understand."
Xiao Die went to the bedside to check on the Crown Prince's condition again: "Your Highness is still asleep. Your Highness, would you like to take a nap on the side steps?"
Ye Qingning thought for a moment and said, "I'll wait a while longer."
If the Crown Prince suddenly wakes up and sees her sleeping alone, he might get angry again, and then impose a palace ban or something, which would definitely waste time.
Ye Qingning sat in the chair, propping her forehead up and pretending to doze off. After a while, she really did feel a little drowsy.
I almost fell down several times.
She simply got up and stretched, sincerely exclaiming, "How wonderful it would be to have a cup of bubble tea to replenish my energy right now!"
"What kind of tea?" Xiaodie came over quickly: "This servant will prepare it for you."
Ye Qingning sighed softly: "Forget it, it's not that easy."
I also need to make the tapioca pearls and brew the milk tea... It will take at least half an hour.
A moment later, someone knocked on the door. Xiaodie hurried over to check on them and then led Chu Song in carrying a tray.
"Your Majesty, I have prepared some tea and snacks for you to replenish your energy."
Ye Qingning glanced at it casually and was immediately stunned. It was actually milk tea and egg yolk pastry!
Egg yolk pastries are fine, since there are leftovers in the kitchen that can be heated up, but milk tea... she hasn't told the kitchen to make it yet.
She glanced at Chu Song with a suspicious look, then went over and stirred the milk tea bowl with a spoon. There were even pearls and taro balls inside!
"Did you make this yourself?" she asked Chu Song.
