Chapter 42: Eating

Xia Yichen instructed his subordinates to prepare dinner in Fengqi Palace and eat with Mu Huayin.

It was the first time they had eaten together.

Mu Huayin looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks.

"Come on, come on, Emperor, eat it while it's hot."

After saying that, he began to bury his head in eating.

However, Xia Yichen, who was sitting opposite her, did not move his chopsticks.

She couldn't help but slow down the movement of the rice and raised her head.

I saw Xia Yichen looking at her expressionlessly.

She hurriedly picked up a piece of fish meat, picked out the thorns, and put it in Xia Yichen's bowl, "Your Majesty, you're welcome, just treat this place as your Weiyang Palace." ”

There was a grain of rice on her chopsticks, and with the action of picking and thorning, the grain of rice was also stained on the fish and was put into Xia Yichen's bowl together.

Xia Yichen looked down at his bowl, and the white rice was very conspicuous.

As an emperor, he usually eats alone, so naturally no one picks up vegetables for him, let alone drops the rice on the chopsticks in his bowl.

Mu Huayin: "Your Majesty, why don't you eat it?" ”

Gao Gonggong, who was standing behind Xia Yichen, looked embarrassed, and was thinking about how to help the emperor replace this bowl without saving the queen's face, but saw Xia Yichen pick up the piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

Gao Gonggong's eyes widened.

Is this still his emperor who is picky about eating and has a serious habit of cleanliness?

"How about the emperor, is this fish very delicious and tender? Tell you, this is what the concubine fished from the pool in the Imperial Garden this afternoon......"

Mu Huayin is very proud, in recent days, her fishing skills are getting better and better.

Since Concubine Qin Guifei was grounded in the palace, no one cares about those fish in the imperial garden.

Mu Huayin felt that instead of letting those poor fish go hungry every day, it was better to eat them directly.

Xia Yichen looked at the smile on her face, glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and ordered, "You all go down first." ”

So they were the only ones left in the temple.

Mu Huayin blinked, not to be confused about what he meant.

Xia Yichen: "In the past two days, Xiliang's detained things have finally been clarified, it turns out that they actually want to form an alliance with Chaoyun, and they also sent the prince to discuss this matter. ”

He cast an inquiring glance at Mu Huayin, "How does the Empress think I should deal with this matter?" ”

Mu Huayin put down the chopsticks in her hand.

Her instincts told her that the problem was a pitfall.

She carefully observed Xia Yichen's expression, wanting to figure out the holy will.

However, she observed for a long time, but she didn't figure out anything from Xia Yichen's paralyzed face.

So she decided to throw this question back, "The concubines don't dare to discuss political affairs, and everything is up to the emperor." ”

Xia Yichen's eyes flashed, the harem concubines were not allowed to interfere in politics, it seems that the queen still remembers it quite clearly.

"I just want to hear from you, but it doesn't hurt."

"The concubine doesn't know anything about political affairs, so she really doesn't dare to talk nonsense."

"You don't have to worry, no matter what you say, I will forgive you."

Xia Yichen was very persistent.

Mu Huayin knew that this pit couldn't be avoided.

So she stared at Xia Yichen's deep eyes.

……

"The concubine thinks that she should return that batch of gifts to Xiliang," she paused when she said this, "As for ......"

Xia Yichen's body leaned forward slightly, staring at her intently, as if he was looking forward to her answer.

"As for the prince of Naxiliang, it is better to deduct it directly."
