Chapter 26: Awkward Meal

It was dusk, and the afterglow of the dusk sunset was reflected in the solemn Qianxi Palace, and at this moment, Qi Yuan and Qing Shao were standing opposite each other, one was thinking about how to find out his mind with the other party, and the other didn't know what he should say.

"Let's have dinner with me." Qi Yuan said suddenly.

Qing Shao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in surprise.

This, did the emperor use the wrong word, how could he serve him for dinner, how could he still use the word "accompany", she was just a palace maid.

But Qi Yuan did not use the wrong word, and when Chang De put two dishes and chopsticks on the emperor's orders, Chang De was also taken aback. The emperor has a great habit of cleanliness, and the ladies in the high positions of this matter all know, except for the Empress Dowager Yang, the emperor has never eaten at the same table with any mother, even if it is the queen, or the lady who is extremely favored in the eyes of the harem people, no one has ever eaten at the same table with the emperor.

So when Qi Yuan instructed Changde to put two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, Changde had a wonderful feeling.

This palace maid may really want to set off a storm in the harem.

"Let's all go down." Qi Yuan commanded.

Chang De respectfully led the people out of Qianxi Palace.

Seven or eight dishes were already on the table. Qi Yuan is not like the emperors in the past, he has a maximum of ten dishes in a meal, Qi Yuan deeply understands the suffering of the common people, so he doesn't want to waste such a thing, and seven or eight dishes are actually enough to eat, why bother to eat some dishes that are removed without moving the chopsticks at all.

"Sit down." Qi Yuan said softly.

But how could Qing Shao really be so comfortable sitting down and eating with the emperor, so she just stood there, helpless and didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

Qi Yuan looked at Qing Shao's cramped and uneasy appearance and smiled unconsciously, then directly stretched out his hand and pulled Qing Shao to the chair, and then pressed her shoulders to prevent her from standing up.

"Finish this meal with me, or I will punish you for your sin." Qi Yuan said strongly.

Qi Yuan had already said this, of course Qing Shao didn't dare to disobey, so he could only pick up the chopsticks with some trembling, but maybe the chopsticks made of white jade were too slippery, maybe he was too nervous, Qing Shao didn't catch the dish a few times, and even if he caught it, it fell down.

Qing Shao's face turned red in embarrassment, and he hurriedly wanted to kneel down.

But Qi Yuan looked at Qing Shao like this and felt very cute, motioned for Qing Shao to return to the chair, and then raised the chopsticks himself, but-

"What do you like to eat?" Qi Yuan suddenly didn't know what Qing Shao in front of him liked at all.

How dare Qing Shao let the emperor pick up vegetables for her, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't trouble the emperor, slave maid ......"

But Qi Yuan didn't listen to Qing Shao's words, and wanted to know what Qing Shao liked to eat.

Qing Shao really had no choice, so he could only speak in a low voice, and his voice was so small that it was almost impossible to hear: "...... Vegetarian three fresh ......"

Qi Yuan heard Qing Shao's words, but he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Vegetarian Sanxian is actually just the name that sounds good, but the taste is really average compared to other dishes, because its raw materials are three kinds of vegetarian dishes, bamboo shoots, mycelium, and straw mushrooms, so compared to the deliciousness of other dishes, it is a little less flavorful, and this dish is very unrespected in the harem.

However, Qi Yuan likes this dish, so every time he eats, Changde will deliberately tell the imperial dining room not to forget.

Qi Yuan glanced at Qing Shao, but he didn't expect Qing Shao to also like vegetarian dishes.

But Qi Yuan felt that his mood suddenly became very good, and he happily sandwiched two chopsticks for Qing Shao, and then gave her something else.

But Qing Shao just took a small bite and ate in front of the emperor, how could she be at ease.

Er Qi Yuan felt that women probably liked sweet meals, but they really didn't match Qi Yuan's taste, so now Qi Yuan suddenly looked at these dishes and was not satisfied at all.

This Changde really has no eyesight, and he knows that he wants to eat with Qing Shao, and the meal he prepares is not thorough at all.

Well, our Emperor Majesty completely ignored that this meal had obviously been prepared before, even if Changde was capable, he didn't expect the emperor to suddenly dine with a palace maid.

“…… If you don't like it, I'll ask the Imperial Dining Room to prepare something else. Qi Yuan opened his mouth and said, seeing that Qing Shao seemed to be unable to eat anything, Qi Yuan felt that he should let the imperial dining room prepare some other food.

Qing Shao was simply taken aback when she heard Qi Yuan's words, she was a palace maid, how could there be a reason for the imperial dining room to prepare it again, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Thank you, the emperor, no need, the slave maid likes it very much......"

Qing Shao really felt that she was going crazy, because she didn't know what the emperor was going to do, she was just a palace maid, why did the emperor care about whether she liked it or not...... Qing Shao was suddenly a little scared, she was afraid that the emperor really wanted ......

Qing Shao once thought that if he really wanted to ...... Then she must get a place in this harem, and she must have a certain amount of power, so becoming the emperor's woman is undoubtedly the best choice, but if this is really the case, she suddenly feels that she has no way to do it......

Qing Shao is afraid that she will become a desperate and lonely woman in the harem.

Thinking like this, Qing Shao suddenly panicked, and actually knocked over the white fungus bird's nest porridge that Qi Yuan specially prepared at hand.

Although this porridge has been served for a while, because the cup used is made by a special process, the temperature of this bowl of porridge is still very high, and it knocked over Qingshao's legs, making her exclaim unconsciously.

The whole bowl of porridge was knocked over on Qing Shao's legs.

Qi Yuan was also startled, and hurriedly walked to Qing Shao's side, and then carried her to the chair.

"Why did you ...... so carelessly" Qi Yuan frowned tightly.

Qing Shao's whole face was wrinkled in pain, and cold sweat was faintly dripping down his forehead.

Qi Yuan hurriedly called Chang De to come in, Chang De was also stunned when he saw this scene, and then he heard the emperor order him to come over immediately.

"No...... Don't declare the imperial doctor ......" Qing Shao hurriedly said, her face turned pale because of the pain, and it was very distressing to look at.

Qi Yuan was very distressed now, but he knew why Qing Shao was reluctant to let him be the imperial doctor, it was just that he was afraid that more people would know about this matter.

However, Qi Yuan looked at Qing Shao's pain and was almost speechless, but he didn't care about this anymore.

But Qing Shao pulled his sleeve, and the pleading in his eyes made Qi Yuan unable to ignore it.

That's it.

Qi Yuan sighed, and had to tell Changde to get the scald medicine.
