Outside Tai Chi Palace, Youshi.
"Has she 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 in his hand.
"Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Chen has been waiting for you since Shen Shi. She has been waiting for two hours." Wang Dequan paused for a moment and then said: "My servant also advised Concubine Chen to go to the side hall to wait for you, but..."
"But what?" the emperor asked solemnly.
"The empress said she wanted to see you as soon as possible and give you something." Wang Dequan finished speaking quickly, not daring to look up.
There was silence for a moment.
The man looked at the waiting woman with an indifferent expression.
After a while, he walked straight towards Zheng Xiyao.
[Host, the male protagonist is here. 】The system immediately reminded Zheng Xiyao.
She turned around and met the male protagonist who was walking casually.
"My concubine is here to see your majesty, and may your majesty be blessed." During Zheng Xiyao's salute, she deliberately raised the food box she brought in front of the man.
The male protagonist helped Zheng Xiyao up and said gently: "What did you get, did you come all the way to bring it to me?"
Zheng Xiyao smiled when she heard this: "This is a gift, a gift for His Majesty." As she said that, she stuffed the food box into the male protagonist's arms.
The male protagonist suddenly received a gift, and before he could react, the woman smiled sweetly, and her bright eyes and white teeth made him suddenly stunned.
How long had it been since he had seen Zheng Xiyao smiling so innocently and naturally.
This is not the polite smile full of calculation, exploitation, and hypocrisy.
The hero's heart stirred, and now he was really curious about what Zheng Xiyao had given him.
He opened the lid of the food box and found a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake inside.
Liu Siyan did not move for a moment.
Zheng Xiyao looked at the man in front of her expectantly: "I remember His Majesty liked this the most when he was a child. When we first met, His Majesty was eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
Hearing this, the male protagonist smiled and said, "That's right, Yao'er remembers it clearly." Then he closed the food box calmly.
"Does your Majesty like it?"
"I like it very much." Liu Siyan replied softly, his eyes evasive.
Zheng Xiyao was satisfied with the satisfactory reply: "Your Majesty, I will not disturb your Majesty in handling government affairs and will retire first."
[System, how is it? Has the favorability increased? 】
[No, host. 】
【how come? Doesn’t the hero like my gift very much? 】
[Host, the favorability level has not increased, but the blackening value has increased by +1]
【……】
Zheng Xiyao stopped, her anger welling up in her heart, and she turned around and headed back in the direction she came from.
At this time, the male protagonist pointed to the side of the food box that she had just brought over, and said without any emotion: "Throw it away."
"Yes." Wang Dequan immediately picked up the food box and prepared to dispose of it, when he suddenly asked in shock: "Empress?"
Liu Siyan turned around after hearing this and found Zheng Xiyao looking at him with an ugly expression.
For a moment, Liu Siyan subconsciously took a step forward, then stopped.
in silence.
Zheng Xiyao followed his movements and stepped back, smiling awkwardly: "I remembered that there was a jar of green plum wine in Anle Palace, and I wanted to invite your majesty to go with me... Maybe I remembered it wrong, your majesty probably doesn't like osmanthus cakes. Yes. I..." She was at a loss, her face flushed, and she stumbled: "I, let me take it away."
Liu Siyan was silent and watched the woman take the food box in a panic.
"I haven't had green plum wine for a long time. Yao'er invited me, but she was disrespectful." The male protagonist suddenly called out to the woman from behind.
Zheng Xiyao tilted her head and replied with a faint smile:
"good."
