Qu Li snatched it away and said, "Food."
Xiao Xian's frown deepened. "Did it come with the food box?"
She didn't say anything.
Recently, she found that the space seemed different from before.
In the past, if you wanted to drink hot water, you either had to boil water in the space or take out the spiritual spring water and heat it outside the space.
And now, she can use her mind to boil the spiritual spring water in the space and then take it out.
Also, before, if she entered the space, she could not move easily. But when she rescued Changle last time, she suddenly found that although she entered the space, she could move freely, but the time could only last about five minutes.
Once exceeded, the space will be automatically ejected.
She still didn't know the reason for the change in space, but it was a good thing for her.
Watching her calmly open the lid of the box and pour in hot water, an indescribable stench spread out. Xiao Xian covered his nose, and the facial features on his handsome face almost collapsed together.
"Why are you stealing my snail noodles?"
Seeing him snatch the snail noodles again, Qu Li's heart suddenly burned with anger. Like a little animal protecting its food, he shouted loudly and threw a silver needle accurately at his calf.
Xiao Xian felt so much pain that he almost fell to the ground.
"Didn't you say that the food in the lunch box was poisonous? This was delivered together with the lunch box, and it smells so bad, it must be poisonous too!" His face was full of resentment, and he turned around slowly.
Qu Li stepped forward and said, "What do you know? This was not delivered with the food box!"
Xiao Xian's eyes were full of confusion.
If it wasn't delivered with the food box, where did she get it from?
He looked her up and down with sharp eyes, and his eyebrows were knitted tighter.
It can't be hidden in the sleeve, right?
Qu Li suddenly realized that it was a bit abrupt to take out the largest box of snail noodles in front of him.
With a light cough, she said, "I found it there!"
Xiao Xian looked in the direction of her finger, the doubt in his eyes still not dissipating, "No wonder it stinks so much, it must have gone bad after being left for so many years! I'll have someone prepare some new food."
"Whatever!" Qu Li snatched the snail noodles. "It's shameful to waste food! Besides, this stuff is delicious!"
"It stinks like shit, and you actually said it tastes good?"
"Don't you know that I often ate rotten rice when I was in Qinghe Garden?"
The servants in the palace were all flatterers who looked down on the weak. Moreover, she guessed that at that time, Bai Fengyao was resentful of the original owner because she had taken her position as the principal wife, so she bribed the servants in the palace to deliberately make things difficult for the original owner.
The original owner had indeed suffered a lot!
Xiao Xian's heart suddenly ached. He opened his mouth, but found that any words he said were pale.
Qu Li ran far away holding the snail noodles and stuffed them into his mouth in big mouthfuls.
Even though the food was so smelly, she ate it with gusto, her eyes full of enjoyment. Xiao Xian suddenly couldn't bear to watch it anymore and turned around and walked out.
The night wind blew, dispelling some of the depression lingering in his heart.
After standing there for a while, he turned his head to look at the woman who was eating with sparkling eyes. He clenched his fists and walked out of the ceremonial hall.
After eating a box of snail noodles, Qu Li felt refreshed all over.
Xiao Xian came back again with a food box in his hand.
"I asked Guangping to get it from Shanshan Healthy Food Restaurant!"
Qu Li opened the food box, and the sweet aroma filled the entire wooden house. "It looks good, and it seems to taste okay too. I'll try it."
"good."
She picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and raised her eyebrows.
"I didn't expect them to improve so quickly. The food tastes great. At this rate, they'll definitely be making a killing once they open."
"Actually, I own quite a few businesses."
Qu Li paused, "You want to give it to me?"
"Um."
"unnecessary."
She will not be a dodder that depends on men. Relying on her own abilities, she can make her life better and better.
Although expressing her attitude today angered the emperor, it also gave her peace of mind.
What's more, both the Empress Dowager and Emperor Kang need her. Add to that Xiao Xian and Changle, and she won't stay here for long.
"Don't be angry."
The businesses under his name have had excellent revenue in recent years, and since she was able to propose making medicinal food, she seemed to have a business acumen. Handing it over to her would naturally be a win-win situation.
"I'm not angry." Qu Li put down his chopsticks. "I'm just telling the truth! Besides, what's yours is yours. I won't take it."
"Consider it as compensation for you!"
Qu Li was so angry that she laughed. She folded her arms and stared at him without blinking. "Do you think that giving me some compensation will make you feel better and undo all the harm you have caused me?"
"I know that the damage I caused you before cannot be repaired by any amount of gold or silver, but I..."
She stood up, looking down at him like a queen radiating light.
"If you want me to help you manage it because of our relationship, then there's absolutely no need for that! The businesses under your name should always have someone specifically in charge. I don't want to cause trouble for myself."
Xiao Xian felt like he was going crazy.
No matter how he coaxed her or gave her money, she remained unmoved, which made him, who was well-versed in military strategy, feel frustrated.
Qu Li ignored the loneliness on his face, but picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat the medicinal food.
Every medicinal dish is indeed delicious, but if you really want to find fault with them, you can do so.
