When dinner time came, Tang Yuyao had to go to the main room to wait. Her face was really ugly, and naturally she couldn't irritate her master with this look. What's more, Dr. Wu had already made it clear that she was fine. If she continued to look like this, it would be as if she wanted to beg for mercy, but this An An In the palace, really no one would pity her.
After putting on light makeup, which at least made her complexion look better, Tang Yuyao went out in aqua blue dress.
Lan Xiang followed. She couldn't enter the house and stayed outside waiting for Tang Yuyao's orders.
Dinner was already on the table. Chen An looked at the cold-faced Zhao Ting sitting in the main seat and walked to the door without making a sound, looking forward to it. When he finally saw Tang Yuyao coming with Lan Xiang, his face suddenly became happy, but then he thought of Tang Yuyao's disrespectful gesture, and the joy suddenly turned into annoyance.
He stood at the top and looked at Tang Yuyao condescendingly. He did not dare to go too far, but it was no problem to apply eye drops with strange anger: "Miss Yuyao, hurry up, the master has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Tang Yuyao looked at him deeply, didn't answer, and walked in the door.
He bowed his knees and saluted, and respectfully called: "Master."
Zhao Ting raised his head slightly, his eyes fell on her face for only a moment, and then looked away: "Yes."
Serving the master's meals was something Tang Yuyao was used to doing in her previous life. She also knew what Zhao Ting liked to eat and what he didn't like. When she got up and stepped forward, she picked up a piece of fried lotus root for the first time. The lotus root was tender and half-cooked, and you could hear a crisp sound when you bite it. This was Tang Yuyao's favorite dish.
Of course, it is also a dish that Zhao Ting dislikes very much.
After tasting it, Tang Yuyao changed her chopsticks, took a piece and put it in Zhao Ting's bowl.
Zhao Ting did not raise his head, but his pause made Tang Yuyao sure that he was suppressing his unhappiness. After discovering this, Tang Yuyao couldn't help but feel ridiculous. What was she doing? Knowing that this man is cruel and ruthless, he was the one who killed her in the previous life, yet she is still testing him and irritating him now?
Does she think her life is too long?
Or maybe she wants to know if he won't touch her until the new princess is chosen?
Tang Yuyao didn't think deeply about the reason why she did this, but the second time she picked up the dish, she picked the braised lion's head that Zhao Ting liked to eat.
Zhao Ting paused again and did not look up, but looked at the braised lion head in the bowl, which was his favorite dish. He picked it up and ate it slowly, but he was thinking about what Tang Yuyao would pick up for the third time. He had always thought he knew this girl who had been in the house for seven years and had served him personally for five years, but now he realized that she was more important to him. It's still a mystery.
She actually has someone she likes!
But he couldn't find out who this person was.
It can’t be A Yu today, right?
Definitely not, not to mention that the two of them had little chance of contact. Even if they had, if it were A Yu, he would have already asked for someone.
Who could that be?
Zhao Ting unknowingly ate a whole braised lion's head, and while Zhao Ting was still thinking about it, he put two small green vegetables into his bowl.
This is another dish he doesn't like.
But he still didn't say anything. He picked up the green vegetables and ate them slowly.
Tang Yuyao sighed. Zhao Ting liked meat and vegetables but not vegetarian. In the past, when she served him meals, she had to take care of his appetite and balanced nutrition. It could be said that she took great pains. Now, knowing who he is and knowing clearly that she doesn't want to be with him or have any more entanglements with him, she still habitually takes care of his health.
Is it so hard to break a five-year-old habit?
After filling a bowl of jade tofu soup and placing it in front of Zhao Ting, Tang Yuyao took two steps back.
After eating too much at night, these are Zhao Ting's dinner.
Zhao Ting was not greedy for food. After drinking the tofu soup, Tang Yuyao had already asked the little maid who was waiting next to bring tea. She was accustomed to doing things. Even if she was unhappy in her heart, she would not make any mistakes on her face.
After wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Zhao Ting stood up and ordered: "Ask someone to prepare water. I will take a bath soon."
"Yes." Tang Yuyao agreed and went out to give instructions.
Normally, Zhao Ting should go to the study at this time. There is no hostess in the palace, and there is no woman around him. After returning to the palace, he spends most of his time in the study. Tang Yuyao also thought so, so that she could find a place to rest first, but before she could relax at the door, Zhao Ting stood in front of her.
She immediately backed away, her back pressed against the wall, unable to retreat, and then she asked in a low voice: "Master, do you have any other orders?"
So unwilling to get close to him?
Zhao Ting suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Yuyao closer: "Go for a walk with me to eat."
"Ah -" Lan Xiang, who was guarding the door, exclaimed when she saw this scene. The next moment, Chen An covered her mouth.
Tang Yuyao was stunned for a moment, and then tried hard to pull her hand away, but Zhao Ting's martial arts practitioners were very strong, so she struggled to pull it out. Not only did she not pull it out, but she was dragged out by Zhao Ting.
"Master!" she shouted in a low voice.
Zhao Ting didn't say much, let go and took the lead.
Naturally, a servant had no right to get angry and run away. Tang Yuyao clenched her fists and followed him.
"Uh... uh uh..." Lan Xiang held Chen An's hand and waited until Zhao Ting and Tang Yuyao walked away before finally pulling it down, "Eunuch Chen, I... I read that right!"
I also hope you got it wrong!
If the master doesn't care about Tang Yuyao, let's see how our family deals with her!
"That's right, the master did hold Yuyao's hand!" Chen An said angrily.
But Lan Xiang was very excited: "Eunuch Chen! This, this, this... does this mean..."
"What does it mean?" Chen An interrupted Lan Xiang, "With Yuyao's temper like a stone, and her lover, do you think she can really follow the master? Let me tell you this, even if she follows the master, Sooner or later, it's better to fall behind. If you are smart, Lanxiang, don't bet on her, otherwise you will have nowhere to cry in the future!"
Lan Xiang suddenly thought of the white jade ointment hidden under her pillow. The master sent Eunuch Chen to give it to Sister Yuyao, but Sister Yuyao refused to use it at all. She couldn't bear to throw away such a good thing, so she had to hide it herself.
From this point of view, Sister Yuyao seems to have gone too far. How dare she confront her master?
At this moment, Tang Yuyao was still facing Zhao Ting.
The two of them walked to the back garden of Prince An's Mansion. Since they didn't ask the waiter to follow them, there were only two of them along the way. In late autumn, the backyard has become a withered scene. Only a small flower bed in the back garden has been planted with a circle of different varieties of chrysanthemums, which are now in full bloom.
Stopping at the flowers, Zhao Ting asked Tang Yuyao: "Who is the person you like?"
Tang Yuyao remained silent.
Zhao Ting waited for a moment, then turned to look at her: "Yu Yao, how about I make you my aunt?"
Being your personal maid will kill you because she admires you, but if your aunt ever sleeps with you, wouldn't she have to be quartered into pieces? Tang Yuyao's expression immediately changed, she shook her head violently and said, "No!"
"No?" Zhao Ting repeated, his voice slightly cold.
Tang Yuyao was panicking for no reason. She hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, please be clear. I have no such wrong thoughts. If the master doesn't believe it, I can swear a poisonous oath immediately. If I dare to..."
"Shut up!" Zhao Ting squatted down and pinched Tang Yuyao's chin, forcing her to raise her head and look at him, "I want you, what qualifications do you have to say no?"
