When Zhu Cihong walked into the side hall, Dong Xiaowan was still in a daze, the painting on the desktop was a snow plum, only half completed, and then a drop of ink accumulated on the tip of the pen suddenly dripped on the painting with a ticking sound, destroying a good painting.

Dong Xiaowan came back to her senses and sighed softly.

"Miss, what were you doing just now, the little maid shouldn't have called you a few times." The little maidservant Qiao'er asked worriedly on the side.

"Nothing." Dong Xiaowan smiled and shook her head.

At this point, she has also accepted her fate, what's the point of thinking about it.

At this time, there were footsteps and the exclamation of the little maid Qiao'er behind him.

"Ah, what are you two!"

Dong Xiaowan was shocked, turned around suddenly, brought a burst of incense, and saw two men suddenly appear a few steps apart, no, one was a eunuch, it seemed that it was the eunuch who arranged her here when she first entered the palace that day.

Another teenager is dressed in luxury, wearing a bright yellow dragon and a dragon robe!

Dong Xiaowan's pink little mouth opened and formed, and her beautiful eyes opened wide.

"You, you are the emperor, the emperor!" Dong Xiaowan was so frightened that she took a step back, but she happened to hit the table, her delicate body throbbed, and she subconsciously avoided a few steps forward, but at the moment when she was about to meet the bright yellow figure in front of her, she suddenly stopped.

"Be careful!" Zhu Cihong was originally surprised where a big beauty came here, seeing that the beauty was frightened by herself, she was in a hurry, and laughed and laughed, so she quickly took two steps forward and hugged the beauty's delicate body, and immediately surrounded by the fragrance of the beauty, so that Zhu Cihong was swaying physically and mentally.

"Zhao Dequan, what's going on?" Zhu Cihong turned his head and asked Zhao Dequan.

"Your Majesty, don't you recognize this woman? She is Dong Xiaowan. Zhao Dequan was a little surprised, isn't the emperor interested in this woman? Doesn't the emperor recognize this woman?

"Dong Xiaowan?" Zhu Cihong's heart jumped, and he looked at the frightened beauty in his arms, and there was an inquiry.

Dong Xiaowan struggled to escape from Zhu Cihong's arms, her cheeks were like fire, they were red, her eyelashes were flickering, her little heart was beating non-stop, and she immediately saluted Zhu Cihong.

"The people's daughter Dong Xiaowan visited the emperor."

Qiao'er, the little maid beside her, also came back to her senses, and quickly screamed, pointing at Zhu Cihong's voice trembling, and her voice said intermittently: "You are, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor."

"Bold little girl!" Zhao Dequan's face immediately darkened, and after slamming Qiao'er's fingers away, he scolded: "You dare to point your finger at the emperor, come on, drag this bold little maid out and kill her with a cane!" ”

Qiao'er was instantly frightened and stupid, she didn't care about her fingers being hot, she saw the two eunuchs rushing in, thinking of Zhao Dequan's words just now, she was immediately terrified, and she hid behind Dong Xiaowan and trembled.

Dong Xiaowan protected Qiao'er behind her with a pale face, and looked at Zhu Cihong with big eyes in horror.

"Alright, get out of here." Zhu Cihong waved his hand at the two eunuchs who rushed in, and the two eunuchs immediately retreated respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this bold little maid is disrespectful to the emperor, and the emperor can't just let him go." Zhao Dequan blushed with a blue face, stared at the little maid Qiao'er murderously, and scared the little maid to hide behind Dong Xiaowan, not daring to show her face at all.

Zhao Dequan couldn't help but be even more angry, could it be that this little maid did something wrong, she didn't even ask for mercy, and she didn't take the emperor seriously.

"Okay, I'm not angry, why are you angry?" Zhu Cihong smiled faintly and didn't care.

"The emperor" Zhao Dequan blushed, a little maid dared to be disrespectful to the emperor in front of him, could he not be angry.

It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry, Zhao Dequan regards a little maidservant girl as offending the emperor's majesty more important than someone killing his parents.

"I haven't asked you yet, when did you get Dong Xiaowan into the palace." Zhu Cihong glared at Zhao Dequan and said.

"Eh, go back to the emperor, this is not a slave who got in, it was the former Jinyi Guard commander Zhang Junchang who got in, saying that the emperor is interested in this woman!" Zhao Dequan's last half of the sentence leaned into Zhu Cihong's ear and whispered.

"Oh?" Zhu Cihong was slightly stunned, recalling that when he ordered Zhang Kuishan to arrest the red lady two months ago, because Dong Xiaowan was involved, he thought of this strange woman in history, as if she had really expressed her interest in Dong Xiaowan in front of Zhang Kuishan, and then cried and laughed, what is this Zhang Kuishan doing.

It is true that he is interested in Dong Xiaowan, but it is just because Dong Xiaowan is not only one of the famous Qin Huai Bayan, but also known as one of the top ten famous chefs in ancient Chinese history, leaving a strong mark in history, inheriting many famous delicacies to future generations, a woman can do this, how can he not be interested, but he didn't expect Zhang Kuishan to take it upon himself to directly get people to the palace.

Zhu Cihong shook his head helplessly, and sighed slightly, forget it, he got it in anyway, and he didn't plan to pursue this kind of thing.

"Dong Xiaowan? Well, it's really a big beauty! Zhu Cihong carefully glanced at Dong Xiaowan in a light green dress, this woman has a beautiful appearance, a moving posture, full of a quiet temperament against the backdrop of a light green dress, and because of fright, her skin is slightly red, and she looks so pink and delicate.

Zhu Cihong smiled faintly, beauty is pleasing to the eye.

Dong Xiaowan's heart trembled when she was looked at by Zhu Cihong, bit her pink lip, knelt on the ground and begged: "Please forgive Qiao'er's disrespect." ”

"Please spare the life of the little maid." Qiao'er also quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Get up, I don't mean to blame, don't be nervous." Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

"Emperor Xie!" After Dong Xiaowan thanked her, she stood up softly.

At this time, although Zhu Cihong was no longer blaming Qiao'er, Dong Xiaowan was still a little apprehensive in her heart, she began to worry about herself, thinking of the emperor's expression just now, she was full of curiosity, I am afraid that she is really interested in her, if the emperor wants her, she can't seem to resist. Dong Xiaowan's eyes moved, and she was a little depressed, maybe this was her life.

"Miss Xiaowan?" Zhu Cihong saw Dong Xiaowan in a daze and screamed softly.

"Huh? Your Majesty, do you have any orders? Dong Xiaowan reacted, thinking of what she had just thought, her face flushed, and she didn't dare to look at Zhu Cihong with her head down.

"I heard you like cooking?" Zhu Cihong asked tentatively.

"Xiao Wan is just a beginner." Dong Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and replied in a low voice.

The reason why she likes cooking is that she lives in seclusion in Xiaozhulou, she doesn't dare to go out at will, she is depressed, and she doesn't have much to do, so she learns to make a few dishes, and she will taste it whenever she makes a delicious dish, and her mood is much more comfortable.

"Alright, I'll take you somewhere." Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

Dong Xiaowan met Zhu Cihong's kind smile, nodded, and followed Zhu Cihong out of the hall.
