Chapter 25: Eavesdropping

"Oh, Long Yuechen, you can't be like this, this is something that people have made with great difficulty, if you don't eat it now, how can you be worthy of my hard work."

Xia Qiqi saw that it was not good, and immediately hugged Long Yuechen's powerful arm, and his whole body hung on Long Yuechen's body, and his coquettish tone made people's bones can't help but be crispy.

Wei Heng coughed unnaturally, turned his head over with a red face, at this time, he had better avoid it!

"Let it go!"

Long Yuechen's tone was a little unnatural, and a thin layer of crimson miraculously appeared on his face.

But how could Xia Qiqi let go, glanced at the red on Long Yuechen's face, snickered in his heart, pressed his body tighter, and kept muttering in his mouth.

"Don't, if you don't eat it, I won't let it go!"

The mouth was raised high, Long Yuechen saw her arrogant appearance, and held his forehead for a while, how could he think about this woman just now.

"Ahem! That emperor, I still went out first......"

Wei Heng's heart really couldn't stand it, and as soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated without waiting for Long Yuechen's consent, and by the way, closed the door.

"Xia Lisheng, let me say it again, let go of your hands!"

"Don't let it go!"

Xia Qiqi smiled with a thief smile on his face, but he didn't expect that this Long Yuechen was quite shy, it seems that there will be a way to deal with him in the future.

"Let it go!"

Long Yuechen said it again, his eyes never dared to look directly at Xia Qiqi, this was probably the most embarrassing and panicked time for him.

Before, even when facing the 100,000 troops of Han Liang and Northern Hebei, he had never been so flustered, but he didn't expect that now he was actually teased by a woman.

"You eat now, I'll let it go!"

Xia Qiqi was full of confidence, she was sure that Long Yuechen would definitely let go in the end.

It's just that what she didn't know was that Long Yuechen could easily use internal force to shake her away, but Long Yuechen didn't do that, and even Long Yuechen himself couldn't explain why this was about it.

"Xia Lisheng!"

Long Yuechen really didn't know what to say about this woman, this was completely not taking his dignity as the emperor of a country in his eyes.

"Long Yuechen!"

He yelled at her, and she yelled at him, and she didn't believe it, he could keep going.

"You let go!"

"I'll let it go if I promise it!"

Xia Qiqi looked at him with a whimsical expression, "What can you do with me".

"I'm going to eat now......"

After hesitating for a long time, Long Yuechen said extremely depressedly, in the future, his dignity as an emperor will be shattered into slag in front of her, but this woman is still so proud.

"It would be nice to do this earlier, look, the rice must be cold now, but it's okay, the food I cook is so delicious, even if it's cold, it's definitely the best in the world!"

Xia Qiqi let go of Long Yuechen and patted his chest with great pride.

Long Yuechen's eyelids twitched.

It is indeed the best in the world, and in this world, I am afraid that there is no one who can make such an unpalatable meal.

……

In the newly renovated small courtyard, a group of subordinates stood at the gate of the courtyard and stopped to watch, feeling uneasy.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, a eunuch who will announce the decree will come and say that their mother wants to murder the emperor, and everyone up and down the courtyard will be sentenced to beheading, so as to show the world.

"Sister Yangchun, you say, when will our mother be able to come back?"

The restless green clothes suddenly came to Yangchun's side and asked.

Most of the people here are orphans, only she is different, she also has her family, her mother, but her mother is now sick and in urgent need of silver taels, if she dies today because of her mother, then what will her mother do.

"This one...... I don't know ...... very well."

Yangchun smiled awkwardly, her mother has always been uneasy about playing cards, how could she guess.

"However, you don't have to worry too much, a few days ago, didn't our mother also cook for the emperor to eat, and the emperor didn't do much at that time, maybe, our emperor has a unique taste, and he likes the food made by our mother."

Are you sure?

Everyone couldn't help but be suspicious, but they still said something.

"That's fine."

When they waited until the seventh day of Xia Qi, it was already dusk, and the sun and the ground had become a closely integrated line.

When everyone saw their mother miraculously appear in front of them, and there was still an excited smile on their faces, they were all relieved, fortunately, they were still alive, and their mother was fine!

"Mother's ......"

Excited, everyone ran towards Xia Qiqi, and just as they were about to bloom with a joyful smile, Xia Qiqi's figure suddenly ran past them with lightning speed, like a gust of wind, leaving only a crisp voice, still lingering in their ears.

"Yangchun, remember to call the people from the palace tomorrow and bring me a few more eggs, I'll go cook!"

What the! Come back!

In an instant, everyone was completely desperate!

……

In the next few days, Xia Qiqi made egg fried rice every day and sent it to Long Yuechen, and Long Yuechen saw it, no matter how busy he was at the time, he would always finish the meal first.

And Xia Qiqi was waiting next to Long Yuechen the whole time, with a smile on his face, without the slightest complaint.

Long Yuechen knew that Xia Qiqi must have something to ask him for, so he would be so courteous to him, but Xia Qiqi didn't take the initiative to mention it, and he didn't ask.

Some things, once pierced, will not affect the mood as simple.

The people in Xia Qiqi's courtyard are used to the fact that their master has to get up early every morning, and every time he sees his master go to the emperor with egg fried rice, he doesn't dissuade him more.

Maybe it's really as Yangchun said, the emperor's taste is indeed very peculiar.

Xia Qiqi's daily delivery of egg fried rice to the emperor spread in this harem after the first and second time.

All of a sudden, there was once again a storm inside the harem.

Who is Xia Lisheng?

Presumably everyone in the harem knows it.

In an instant, from a white swan to an ugly duckling.

From the daughter of a meritorious man to the daughter of a traitor, the rapid decline in status, and the impact of the destruction of Xia Mansion have also become a hot topic for people across the country to chat after dinner.

And Xia Lisheng, who is Miss Xia Fuyan, was not beheaded by the emperor, but only demoted his status, which made everyone unbelievable.

They thought that all the women who had entered the cold palace no longer had any threat to them, but they didn't expect that this woman who had just been beaten into the cold palace had now become their number one enemy!

Now in the harem, people are panicking, and everyone is speculating about the emperor's attitude towards Xia Lisheng.

Although Xia Lisheng can now go to the emperor every day to deliver egg fried rice, the emperor has never taken the initiative to say about this matter, and it has always been the wishful thinking of Xia Lisheng, a woman.

Moreover, if the emperor really wants to favor Xia Lisheng, why not let her move out of that courtyard and re-canonize her as a concubine?

But if the emperor really has no interest in Xia Lisheng, why would he allow Xia Lisheng to send him food every day. Moreover, they also heard that Xia Lisheng's cooking was extremely unpalatable, but the emperor was able to finish it every time, and there must be something strange about it.

It's just that everything is still being speculated at the moment, and it hasn't been fully verified, so they have to wait and see what happens, and talk about it when the time comes.

On this day, early in the morning, Xia Lisheng went to Long Yuechen with his scrambled egg fried rice.

As soon as I walked to the gate, I unexpectedly heard the sound of the two talking inside.

Xia Qiqi became interested in his heart, ran over with cat steps, put his ear to the window, and began to listen seriously.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince said that he will come back in three days."

"What else?"

Long Yuechen raised his eyes.

"And ...... Princess Lingyue will also return. ”

Who is the Nine Princes? Who is Princess Lingyue?

Hearing that the people inside were silent, Xia Qiqi had doubts in his heart.

Thinking in her heart, she always felt that the two people they were talking about seemed to have a relationship with her, but whether she had seen them or not, maybe even if she did, she didn't know them. But it made her feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"What is she doing here?"

Long Yuechen stood with his hands in his hands, his good-looking brows furrowed tightly, Lingyue is back now, isn't this nonsense.

"Princess Lingyue said that she misses the emperor, so she wants to come back to see the emperor."

Miss him?

"Huh!"

Long Yuechen chuckled, was it really because he missed him, not someone else?

"Okay, you go and tell the queen about this matter, and ask her to prepare a family banquet and welcome the ninth brother back."

"Yes."

Wei Heng responded, and then prepared to retreat.

At this time, someone suddenly knocked the door open.

"Long Yuechen, it's time to eat!"

Xia Qiqi shouted loudly.

Just now, when Long Yuechen asked Wei Heng to come out, she had an idea, pretended to be just here, and broke into the door.

"Miss Xia."

Wei Heng shouted, then looked at Long Yuechen and hurriedly retreated.

In the room, only Xia Qiqi and Long Yuechen were left in an instant.

"When did you come?"

Long Yuechen looked at her with narrow eyes, like an abyss that could never be guessed.

"Of course I just came!"

Xia Qiqi replied without blushing and without a heartbeat.

She wouldn't say that she had come over a long time ago, and by the way, she listened to all the conversations they had just had.

If Long Yuechen knew, she believed that he would definitely strangle her without saying a word!

Silence, silence......

Long Yuechen has been looking at Xia Qiqi with an observing eye, and she can see that her heart is numb, he shouldn't have seen something.

Playing a drum in his heart, and was thinking about what she would do if he really found out what she had overheard, Long Yuechen suddenly said something again.

"Didn't you say let me eat? Don't put down the meal yet. ”

After speaking, Long Yuechen sat back in his chair.

Xia Qiqi stuck out his tongue, made a grimace, and put the egg fried rice in front of Long Yuechen.

"Eat, it's still a little hot!"

……

After Long Yuechen quickly finished eating the egg fried rice, Xia Qiqi cleaned up as always, and prepared to leave with a plate.

Long Yuechen suddenly stopped her.

"Stop!"

"I don't know what else the emperor has to do?"

Xia Qiqi turned around, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

"On the third day, you don't have to bring egg fried rice!"

"Why?"

"It's an order!"

"Oh."

Sticking out his tongue again, Xia Qiqi quickly retreated.

What kind of order, isn't it that your brother and sister are coming in three days, so I don't want to come out and be embarrassed, hum! You won't let me come, I'm going to come.

There's definitely a lot to eat at the family dinner!

Oh yes! Food is waiting for me!
