Chapter 22: The Gift
Outside the Taiji Palace, unitary time.
"She's been waiting?" Liu Siyan stood in the hall with his hands behind his back and looked at Zheng Xiyao who was holding a food box.
"Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Chen has been waiting since Shen Shi, and she has been waiting for two hours." Wang Dequan paused, and then said: "The slave also persuaded Niangniang to wait for you in the side hall, but ......"
"But what?" The Emperor asked in a deep voice.
"The mother said that she wanted to see you as soon as possible and give you something." Wang Dequan finished speaking quickly, not daring to raise his head.
There was silence for a while.
The man looked indifferently at the waiting woman.
After a while, he walked straight to Zheng Xiyao.
[Host, the male protagonist is here. The system immediately reminded Zheng Xiyao.
As soon as she turned around, she happened to meet the male protagonist who was walking around.
"Concubines see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed." Zheng Xiyao saluted and deliberately held the food box he brought in front of the man.
The male protagonist helped Zheng Xiyao up and said gently: "What kind of thing is Qing taking, and you will send it to me from afar?" ā
Zheng Xiyao smiled when she heard this: "This is a gift, a gift for Your Majesty." As she spoke, she stuffed the food box into the male protagonist's arms.
The male protagonist suddenly got a gift, but before he could react, the woman smiled, and her bright eyes and bright teeth made him suddenly stunned for a while.
He hadn't seen Zheng Xiyao smile so innocently and naturally for a long time.
This is not the polite smile full of calculation, exploitation, hypocrisy.
The male protagonist's heart moved, and now he is really curious about what Zheng Xiyao sent.
He opened the lid of the food box, and inside was a plate of osmanthus crisp.
Liu Siyan didn't move for a while.
Zheng Xiyao looked at the man in front of him with anticipation: "I remember that Your Majesty liked this most when I was a child, and when we met for the first time, Your Majesty was eating osmanthus cake." ā
The male protagonist smiled when he heard this: "That's right, Yao'er still remembers it clearly." Then he quietly closed the food box.
"Does Your Majesty like it?"
"I love it." Liu Siyan replied softly, his eyes dodging.
Zheng Xiyao was satisfied with the reply: "Your Majesty, the concubines will not disturb Your Majesty's handling of government affairs, and will retire first." ā
[System, how's that?] Has the favorability increased? ć
[Not really, host. ć
[How come?] Doesn't the male protagonist like my gift very much? ć
[Host, the favorability has not increased, but the blackening value has become +1]
ćā¦ā¦ć
Zheng Xiyao stopped, anger swelled in her heart, turned around and turned back in the direction she came from.
At this time, the male protagonist pointed to the food box she had just taken on the side, and said without a trace of emotional fluctuations: "Throw it away." ā
"Yes." Wang Dequan immediately picked up the food box and prepared to dispose of it, and suddenly said in astonishment: "Niangniang? ā
When Liu Siyan heard this, he turned around and found that Zheng Xiyao was looking at him with an ugly face.
For a while, Liu Siyan subconsciously took a step forward and stopped.
Clam up.
Zheng Xiyao stepped back with his movements, and said with an embarrassed smile: "The concubine remembered that there was still a jar of plum wine in Anle Palace, and I wanted to invite Your Majesty to go with her...... It may be that the concubine is mistaken, His Majesty should not like osmanthus cakes. Iā" She was at a loss, her face turned red, and she stumbled: "I, I'll take it." ā
Liu Siyan was silent, watching the woman take the food box in a panic,
"I haven't drunk plum wine for a long time, Yao'er invited, but it was disrespectful." The male protagonist suddenly shouted behind the woman to stop the woman.
Zheng Xiyao tilted her head and replied with a faint smile: .
"Okay."
