Suddenly, I heard him mention Li Xuan, and his mood was even more complicated and uncomfortable, and it was really eye-catching to pull like this for a while, and he let go when he saw that I no longer insisted on leaving the table, and he didn't embarrass me.

After a while, the palace mermaids rushed in, and the exquisite dishes were laid out on the table one after another, which was different from my usual light and simple meals, because of his identity, the dishes made in the small kitchen this time were finely selected, and the plates were complicated, and the dishes on the table just looked extraordinary.

When the last dish was arranged, Long Xiao's face was already displeased, he didn't see him move his chopsticks in the middle of the ring, and the palace people standing behind him didn't know why, they were all so frightened that they lost their souls, and knelt on the ground, he poured himself a glass of wine, played with it around his fingertips a few times, and added some graceful and famous people: "You eat these in your daily life?" ”

I was asked inexplicably: "Naturally not." ”

He then said coldly: "Take these down and replace them with the ones you are used to eating." ”

The emperor's mind is really like a needle under the sea, unpredictable, I see that the palace people kneeling in this room have tried their best to get food and he didn't taste it before he said to withdraw, which is quite wasteful, and he softened his voice and played a round game: "You remove the dishes, leave two people to serve, and the rest of the people can set the table in the back garden to eat together, remember not to be greedy for a cup and make mistakes, otherwise tomorrow will be punished." ”

He also instructed: "Make some delicious vegetarian dishes, boil some thin porridge, and stew the soup to moisten the lungs, and serve them as soon as possible." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, took the order, busy, the house returned to the deserted, it was already a cold winter, the cold weather is also ordinary, I stood up and added a few pieces of charcoal to the brazier, and the charcoal fire was more vigorous, but unexpectedly, there was a spark splashed out and fell on the corner of my skirt, instantly spread up, so I was at a loss, fortunately Long Xiao threw a thick fox fur to extinguish the fire, I was in a mood, and smiled: "Thank you." ”

He was still as cold as ice: "In the future, this kind of thing will be left to the palace maid to do." ”

I said casually: "There is still more than half a year to go through, and it is good to have one more thing to do." ”

It's only been more than four months since my one-year appointment with Li Xuan, and I tried not to count the days, but I still lived like a year.

Long Xiao was stunned, as if muttering to himself: "You can do whatever you want in the Hidden Moon Palace, you don't have to worry about other people's eyes, I have placed you here, I don't want to restrain you too much, you can do what you want according to your own heart." ”

Compared with his concubines, I did have more freedom, and he was very tolerant of me, and I was a little resentful: "What does the emperor think I should do? Singing and dancing, a big feast? Or go to the garden to enjoy the flowers, cook tea and paint? I was originally a woman in the market, Lord Mengsu loved to accept me as a righteous daughter, and by chance I married King Xuan and flew on the branches, and the blessings that outsiders thought were actually not my original intentions. ”

I'm bound by the fact that I can't choose these things, and I don't have a choice. Li Xuan obeyed the order to marry me, I can only marry him; Li Xuan rushed to the battlefield, I could only wait for him. Because of my love for him, I can only carry his responsibilities with him, and my heart is no longer so important to his position.

Long Xiao said thoughtfully: "Not to mention that you may be from a noble background, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, if you want to learn, I will ask the best master in the palace to teach you, and even if you want to learn swords, I can teach you personally, what you want, I will find a way to satisfy you." ”

I smiled bitterly: "Does the emperor treat me as another Eighth Prince?" ”

He was stunned, his expression became weird, and he said vaguely: "I am Long Tuo's brother, as a royal disciple, of course he can't help but learn no skills, for you, just to pass the boring things, it is different." ”

His hesitant look was something I had never seen, which aroused my curiosity, and I joked: "I don't have much interest in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I can't see people in one hand, I also know this, as for swordsmanship, are you really willing to teach me?" You are the emperor, you are entangled in political affairs, and you have a bunch of concubines to deal with, how can you find time to teach me? ”

Obviously, he didn't take what I said seriously at all, but laughed at me: "My Fair Lady, good gentleman, you prefer some things to fight and kill, and you haven't learned a lesson from comparing arrows with Long Tuo last time?" ”

I stretched out my finger to him, saying that I didn't have a ladylike demeanor, I confessed, said that I bullied Long Tuo when he was young, I was not convinced, and pretended to be serious: "Compete with Long Tuo, I am above board, I think he is young, I am a step above the head to win him in every round, and I have taken out the housekeeping skills, how can I win without martial arts?" ”

He confessed that he couldn't talk to me, a little woman: "Pointing fingers for a while, are you hungry?" ”

"I'm really hungry." The stomach was empty, and after talking to him for a long time, he left behind the previous depression and depression, and it seemed that he was not all bad in the Hidden Moon Palace.

The hot white porridge smells very sweet, I scoop up a spoonful and blow it to cool it and send it into my mouth, soft and glutinous with a sweet taste, according to the instructions of Doctor Zhang, my spleen and stomach are weak, and it is best to drink porridge to nourish the stomach. I have been eating like this since the winter, and I got used to it over time, there is nothing fresh, but Long Xiao is different, I have eaten too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the occasional porridge and side dishes have made his eyes shine, and soon let the palace maid serve a second bowl.

A few times he ate at the same table with Li Xuan, he behaved elegantly, politely, and didn't eat much but was very exquisite, while Long Xiao, as an emperor, was more of a natural king, and had an aura of not being angry and arrogant, which made people can't help but surrender and dare not make a mistake.

My mouth was full: "Has anyone ever said that eating at a table with you hurts?" ”

He stopped his chopsticks and thought about the meaning of my words, obviously a little displeased, and I hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I mean that you are the emperor, and the people who eat with you will inevitably take into account your identity, and they can't let go of their belly to eat." It's hard to put down chopsticks in front of a table full of delicious food, and that feeling is really uncomfortable. ”

Long Xiao responded: "They don't have this opportunity. ”

I didn't react: "Huh? ”

He said slowly, "People who don't feel comfortable, I won't give them the opportunity to eat at the same table with me. ”

"Oh." Does he mean that only those who are brave enough are qualified to sit and eat with him, is this a disguised way of praising me?

The meal for the two of them was not much prepared, and now I was chatting and eating, the dishes were almost empty, I only ate six or seven minutes full, in order to free up my stomach and eat some sweet soup, a bowl of lily and lotus seed soup for one person, I have drunk several sips, but Long Xiao has not moved.

I retired from the palace, only Long Xiao and I were left in the house, he looked at me with cold eyes, so cold that I was excited, I had to ask him: "You don't like sweets?" Why didn't you say it? ”

Unexpectedly, he was angry for no reason, and actually knocked the whole bowl of soup to the ground, and a few empty plates were damaged, and the ground was in shambles.

I don't know what kind of anger he has, so I simply kept silent.

"When I saw this bowl of lily lotus seed soup, I thought of a person who hated her so much, I hated to peel her skin and cramp, whip her corpse to relieve her hatred, Qin Xi, what do you say?" The speed of his face turning was only in the blink of an eye, every word revealed the ferocity of a wolf, and his terrifying expression wished to be eaten alive with me, especially the four words of whipping the corpse to relieve hatred sounded extremely terrifying, I couldn't help but wonder who made him hate him to the bone, and he couldn't even let go of death?

I thought he was in a good mood tonight, but it was my delusion, and now my intestines are really repentant, and I know that I shouldn't be soft-hearted and let him eat.

My silence made him even more annoyed, as if a punch could not be vented in the air, he suddenly grabbed my wrist and lifted me up, dragged me out of the door, and walked all the way towards the outside of the Hidden Moon Palace, he was so excited that I didn't expect it, I stumbled and could only follow him, and there was a sharp pain in my wrist, which made my forehead break out in a cold sweat, and I couldn't help but plead: "Long Xiao, let go, you hurt me, where do you want me to go, just say it, you can't use this way, you let people see it like this, it will damage your prestige- ”

After a while, he had left the Hidden Moon Palace, and the palace was full of patrolling guards, in case he was bumped into by someone, I couldn't tell if I had a hundred mouths, he didn't care, he was the Son of Heaven, who dared to say that he wasn't? I'm afraid that I, Princess Xuan, will become a scourge of "flattering words and deeds", and I will be poked in the backbone by civil officials everywhere.

I said it bluntly, he didn't even hear it, or he was angry at this time, and he couldn't listen to me at all, I was in a hurry, and I stumbled to break his hand to get rid of him, I didn't want his strength to be so strong, and the five fingerprints didn't move.

So I didn't want to bite down, at first I didn't dare to bite too hard, seeing that he didn't want to let go, I was ruthless and heavy, until there was blood between his lips and teeth, he shook off his hand suddenly, I only felt the wind in my ears, and I slapped him hard, and the whole person's center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the side and fell heavily to the ground.

There was a stove in the house, I was not dressed thickly, and I was pulled out by him without even wearing a warm coat, and at this moment my body was next to the ground, and my upper body was cold, and I suddenly shivered uncontrollably. I stood up slowly, my cheeks swollen and high, my mouth leaking, my eyes staring at him clearly, indifferent mixed with alienation: "Why does the emperor hate me?" ”

These words have been hidden in my heart for a long time, I have always thought that it is because of Li Xuan, I have never thought about it, after living in the palace for a few months, I have rarely quarreled with him for Li Xuan a few times, leaving Li Xuan, he did not do anything to me, just let me stay in the Hidden Moon Palace, and even found someone to relieve my boredom as Long Tuo said.

It is not a coincidence that his abnormality tonight is only due to a bowl of sweet soup that he does not like, and he hates a man so much, and because that man turns to hate me, what do I have to do with the man he hates in his mouth? Does he know anything about my background?

I couldn't be calmer anymore, and a piercing chill welled up in my heart: "You don't hate me for no reason, but because of my background, right?" If I hadn't taken care of Li Xuan, I might have died a long time ago. ”

Even I myself was taken aback by this thought, on the other hand, Long Xiao, his whole person was wrapped in a heavy cold air, and his whole body exuded an indifference that rejected people for thousands of miles, and he did not hide the resentment on his face when he rarely showed his emotions, but walked towards me step by step, like a wolf staring at his prey, every step was hidden and murderous, full of threats.

I took a few steps back in his press, listening to him seduce me in a seductive and dangerous voice: "You just want to know who you are?" ”

This sentence was like poison to draw a few glimmers of hope, which was instantly extinguished: "I won't tell you, you never want to know your background, this is your punishment." ”

"You can do it yourself," he continued, vengefully, "but I won't let anyone you find live. ”

In the end, he didn't forget to stab again: "Why don't you ask your good husband, he knows your identity well." ”
