075 The Empress of the Kingdom (27)
"Yes."
When everyone had answered, the steward turned and went out to attend to his own business, and gave the place to the group for the time being. Just after there were only two people left in the kitchen:
"Smack......
"What's wrong?" One of the chefs asked, turning his head to look at this side.
"This ...... This ......"
Looking at the scene in front of them, both of them were a little scared. "Why are you so careless, this is going to be sent to Your Majesty in a moment."
"I'm ......," the other said in a bit of a panic, looking at the chef at a loss. What to do? I can't afford to lose this errand. ”
"You ask me what to do." After sighing deeply, the imperial chef said helplessly: "I can only quietly redo a copy, you give me a little care." ”
"Okay, okay."
The two of them were busy making a new one, but Shen Mengdie over there was pacing back and forth in the palace in a restless manner, looking at the countdown time on the panel, with indescribable anxiety in her heart.
"Miss, Your Majesty has sent someone to tell you that Your Majesty is having a banquet for the minister, so ......"
"Did you send the soup?" As soon as Shen Mengdie heard that Xuanyuan Zichen was entertaining the minister, she began to care about whether she had brought the soup with the ingredients in the cup.
"If you go back to Miss, the people in the imperial dining room have already sent it over."
After getting the answer she wanted, she said in a trance: "That's good, that's good......"
"Miss, are you ......" Seeing that she was acting a little wrong, Qingrou stepped forward and asked with concern.
Shen Mengdie was silent for a moment while holding her eyes with her hand. "Nothing."
"Miss, are you going to eat now?"
"Yes."
Unable to eat, she simply ate a little food and then asked her to leave, and went back to her bedroom to look at the night pearl inlaid on the wall, and fell into her own thoughts.
The palace where she lives now is said to be the palace where the queen lives, Xuanyuan Zichen insisted on arranging her here regardless of the etiquette, and the other party really wanted to give her the best things.
"Hasn't he come back yet?"
"Your Majesty hasn't come back yet."
After receiving this reply, she rubbed her forehead a little irritably, and after the sky gradually darkened, she finally waited for Xuanyuan Zichen.
"You're here." Shen Mengdie slowly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, staring at the other party for a long time, as if she wanted to remember his appearance deeply in her mind.
"Yes." Today, I wanted to take advantage of the good time to spend more time with the person in front of me, but I was interrupted by a sudden incident, and I caressed the cheek of the person in front of me, and his heart was soft.
"Did you drink the chicken soup that was sent to you today?"
"It's delicious." Xuanyuan Zichen hooked the corners of his mouth, and gently took the person into his arms.
Quietly leaning on the other party's warm chest, Shen Mengdie closed her eyes tightly, trying to suppress the strong reluctance in her heart.
"What the hell is wrong with you today?" Xuanyuan Zichen put his chin on the other party's shoulder and leaned lightly on the other party's ear and said. He always had the illusion that the other party was about to leave him, so he resolutely kept the person by his side despite everyone's opposition. And for some reason, just today, this feeling has become more and more intense, and it has reached the point of palpitating his heart.
"It's nothing, probably tired." Shen Mengdie avoided the other party's gaze, lowered her head slightly, and looked at the other party's arm around her waist.
"In that case, then you should rest early, and I will come to see you tomorrow."
"Yes, okay." Faced with Xuanyuan Zichen's proposal, she barely evoked a smile and answered the other party softly.
"Then you rest early, I'll go back." Xuanyuan Zichen said as he let go of the other party gently, and after reaching out and rubbing her head, he turned away with a smile.
Looking at the people who gradually walked out of the door, Shen Mengdie suddenly chased two steps forward and shouted, "Zichen, you wait a minute." ”
"What's wrong?"
Shen Mengdie looked at the person who was smiling at her, the hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched into a tight fist, and her neatly trimmed nails sank deep into her palm. Step by step, he walked into the other party and stared at him for a long time.
"Can you close your eyes?"
Listening to her words, Xuanyuan Zichen glanced at her meaningfully, and then closed his eyes without saying a word.
"I want to look at you quietly like this, but ......" Shen Mengdie tried to suppress the sadness in her heart, raised her head and tried to blink her eyes, holding back the tears back to her eyes.
Trembling her hands, she hesitated again and again but stroked the other party's face, sniffing the unique smell of Xuanyuan Zichen's body, she covered the other party's eyes with one hand, climbed on the other party's shoulder with the other hand, and kissed the other party's lips after slightly padding her toes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Shen Mengdie thought silently in her heart, hugging Xuanyuan Zichen tightly with red eyes. If it's all my fault, let it all go back to normal. I only hope you can be happy, for me not to deserve it, not to deserve it......"
When the other party asked him to close his eyes, Xuanyuan Zichen closed his eyes relaxed in compliance with the other party's request, and when he felt the palm of the other party's face on his face, he moved his eyes to suppress his urge to open his eyes. As a person who has always lived in the emperor's family, being able to put his neck in the hands of others is an act of absolute trust in the other party. When he felt the soft touch on his lips, he shook his head suddenly.
"Don't move." Shen Mengdie grabbed the other party tightly, and after leaning herself into his arms for a long time, she took a deep breath and let go of the other party.
Xuanyuan Zichen opened his dark eyes and looked at the other party silently, he could obviously feel that the other party was wrong today, but for some reason he couldn't think of the source of the matter.
Shen Mengdie tried to hold back her tears, tried to raise a pleasant smile, so that she didn't look too abnormal, and then chuckled and said, "You also go back to rest early, don't miss me too much." ”
"...... you" Xuanyuan Zichen looked at the other party's appearance, and was about to ask the other party, but was interrupted by Shen Mengdie.
"Alright, alright, let's go back." She grabbed the other person's arm and pushed the person out the door.
"Okay." Seeing her attitude, Xuanyuan Zichen was no longer ready to delve in, and slowly walked out with her strength.
Watching the other party's back slowly disappear in her field of vision, Shen Mengdie could no longer hold back the suppressed emotions in her heart, silently staring at the figure of the person, and she silently shed tears. "Forget me, forget me......"
After returning to the dormitory in despair, she stared blankly at the phoenix crown and the curtain that was still on the side, and reached out to caress the phoenix that was about to fly on the wedding dress, and tears gradually blurred her vision. "It's a pity...... It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to wear this shirt. ”
Shen Mengdie sat quietly by the bed for a long time, seeing that the night was dark, and the surroundings were so silent that she could only hear the rustle of leaves blown by the wind outside the window, after neatly stacking the wedding dress on the bed, she wiped away the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief, and after biting her lip, she said to the system as if she had made up her mind: "System, confirm to leave this world." ”
'Ding, now out of this world. 3, 2, 1, start ......'
Listening to the voice in her head, she took a nostalgic look at the world. "Farewell......"
