Chi Xia: "..."
[Oh, that’s so sloppy, you’re actually the same person as my sister. 】
Tangtang: "???"
what's the situation?
She looked around casually and found that Qiao Yi's face was calm, and he didn't look like he could hear Chi Xia's heart at all.
Tangtang frowned and went through another familiar "beep-beep-" session before giving up in frustration.
It seems that it can only be understood by gods and cannot be explained in words.
Chi Xia handed one of the sesame cakes to Tangtang, then divided the other one in half and handed one half to Qiao Yi.
Tangtang ate the sesame cakes, threw away the annoyance in her mind, and continued to ask: "I haven't asked you what your name is yet?"
Chi Xia took a bite of the sesame seed pancake, but it was so hot that she stuck out her tongue and exhaled, "Chi Xia, I am Chi Xia."
Tangtang looked at her embarrassed look amusedly: "I am Tangtang."
"How did you get here?"
Because there were outsiders beside him, Tangtang only asked slightly vaguely.
Chi Xia: "Just... bang, bang, pia's here."
[Sister, can you say that I didn’t know why I came here? Isn’t it because I don’t want to save face? 】
Tangtang: "..."
Okay, let’s just skip this question.
She glanced at Qiao Yi, who was quietly eating sesame seed cakes and looking at her with hostility, and her tone of voice suddenly sounded a little narrow: "Does Xia Xia have someone he likes?"
The topic changed somewhat unexpectedly.
Chi Xia was so shocked that she choked, and her eyes turned red. She looked pretty and delicious.
She quickly poured a cup of tea into her mouth to calm down her shock.
Then he turned his head and looked at the narrowing in her eyes, and suddenly a bad feeling came to his heart.
Chi Xia smiled mischievously: "Does it count if I like you?"
Tangtang: "...Forget it."
Qiao Yi on the side listened with fear, fearing that her precious sister would run away with the wild man.
Shadow Five: "!!!"
Ying Wu hid in the dark and watched, watching Chi Xia pounce on Tangtang, his eyes as wide as copper bells at this moment.
What? ! What is this?
It must be that pretty boy seducing the empress.
He remembered that his Majesty had sent him to watch and protect the empress, and he immediately and seriously wrote down the next conversation between Chi Xia and Tangtang.
There are fifteen people in Long Shadow Guard, and Shadow Five happens to be the most gossipy one.
Naturally, he also knew that His Majesty was special and concerned about Chi Xia.
His Majesty sent him here not only to protect Chi Xia, but also to hint that he should take good care of his empress and not let her run away with other men.
Your Majesty threw such a heavy burden to him, what does this mean? It shows your Majesty's extreme trust in him.
For His Majesty's happiness, he was duty-bound.
He must not betray His Majesty's trust and look after people.

Although Tang's Restaurant is not as delicious as the ones in the Imperial Palace, it still tastes very good.
Before Chi Xia left, she specially invited her to visit her women's college with her.
"You opened a women's college?" Tangtang was surprised.
Chi Xia smiled and replied: "Yes, do you want to go and see it together?"
"Then I would be disrespectful."
The three of them walked all the way to the end of Chang'an Street. They looked at the almost completed women's college and nodded with satisfaction.
In terms of decoration, she made reference to the style of Huaxia University and modified it according to the gourd painting. Although it was a bit nondescript, it was still usable.
Tangtang also walked around and asked, "How do you want to open this women's college?"
"I'm thinking of starting a pilot project in the capital first, making sure it works, and then slowly expanding the scope."
"What if no woman is willing to take that step and choose to study? Or what if her family obstructs her and prevents her from studying?"
Regarding this sharp question, she had also tried to think about it, and she expressed her still somewhat immature thoughts one by one.
"The tuition fees of women's colleges are much cheaper than those of ordinary colleges, which prevents some farm girls from having to give up because of money."
"Then the college can regularly distribute some small gifts during holidays, such as rice, noodles, chicken, duck, fish, etc. Parents who are unwilling to let them come to study will choose to send them to study when they see these."
What's more, you have to try, right? She doesn't want those women who should open their eyes to see the world to be trapped in the backyard of the mansion all their lives.
She couldn't wake up those who were pretending to be asleep, so she could grab those women who were awake.
"What about the money? This will cost a lot of money." Although Tangtang thinks these methods are very good, he still has to consider some practical issues.
Chi Xia looked at her with a smile on her face, but her hand quietly grabbed her sleeve.
"Oh, you are here! Or how about I invest in your restaurant?"
Her eyes were half-curved, her tone was soft and sweet, and the tail tone was slightly elongated, making her look very sweet.
Tangtang didn’t say yes or not.
He just looked at her sideways and said in a lazy voice, "Then how much are you prepared to invest."
Chi Xia stamped her feet and gritted her teeth: "One hundred thousand taels of gold, is that enough?"
[Uuuuuuuuah, sister’s money. 】
Her heart was bleeding.
These were some of the money that the tyrant had casually stuffed into her arms when he went to Ming'an City to steal money from the pretty boy's house.
In addition, in order to repay her life-saving grace, Lin Yuer's parents also gave her some gifts, and the rest was her private money.
Tangtang raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Okay."
"We make a 50-50 profit."
Chi Xia: "!!!"
She looked at her in disbelief, making sure that she was not joking with her, and was instantly moved.
"Uuuuuuu, Bao, you are my favorite Bao."
Tangtang smiled lazily, her finger bones slightly bent, she raised her hand to reveal a bit of the red string on her wrist, and lightly tapped her forehead, feeling inexplicably doting.
"I'm a businessman, and I won't let myself suffer."
Chi Xia looked up at her with a slightly blushing face, her almond-shaped eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars, as bright and beautiful as the vastness.
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, I don't know if I can kill the man or woman, but this is really killing me! 】
Qiao Yi on the side kept trying to penetrate the two of them, but undoubtedly failed.
Hearing Chi Xia's words, he raised his hand unwilling to be outdone, "Xia Xia, I, I can also invest, I can invest fifty thousand taels of gold."
Chi Xia's eyes suddenly shone brightly, she hugged his arms and looked at him affectionately.
"Brother! You are my only brother!"
[Sister is so poor! I used to not bother to pick up a penny that fell on the ground, but now, I just want my sister to listen and let me go! 】
[Concubine Qian, how did you manage to make my sister fall in love so hard that she couldn’t help herself. 】
Qiao Yi looked at her cute little expression, his heart softened, and he consciously considered himself as his brother.
Woohoo, how could there be such a cute creature like my sister in this world.
The three of them held candlelight talks at night...ah, they kept talking until the sun went down before they could decide how to run the women's college.
