After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

With that said, Concubine Hui stood up and left.

Looking at Concubine Hui's thin back, Su Xiaoxi felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She always felt that Concubine Hui's personality seemed to have changed a lot.

Su Xiaoxi held the hairpin in her hand with mixed feelings in her heart.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxi's stomach suddenly growled, and the sound immediately made Su Xiaoxi extremely embarrassed.

Su Xiaoxi immediately covered her stomach, and her pretty face turned red instantly.

"Are you hungry?" At this time, a familiar voice came from behind, which surprised Su Xiaoxi.

Looking back, he was shocked to see Nangong Chen coming out from behind the desk and walking towards Su Xiaoxi.

"Why is the emperor coming out? Be careful of catching a cold."

Seeing Nangong Chen, Su Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted Nangong Chen and helped Nangong Chen sit down on the stone bench next to him.

Only then did Su Xiaoxi have time to look carefully at the memorial in Nangong Chen's hand, her brows filled with solemnity.

Su Xiaoxi couldn't understand what was written on the memorial, but she could tell that Nangong Chen seemed to have encountered something difficult.

"Did the Emperor encounter any trouble?" Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask.

Nangong Chen raised his head and looked into Su Xiaoxi's eyes, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "How did Xi'er know that I was in trouble?"

"The daughter of the people just saw the worry in the emperor's eyes. It must be because of the state affairs." Su Xiaoxi explained, but the image of Concubine Hui just now appeared in her mind, "If the emperor doesn't mind, you might as well tell the daughter of the people that the people are worried." Women may be able to take care of the Emperor's worries."

Hearing this, Nangong Chen did not rush to reply, but looked at Su Xiaoxi with a scrutinizing gaze.

Su Xiaoxi looked back at Nangong Chen's eyes openly, not hiding.

After a long while, Nangong Chen slowly spoke, "Miss Su, why are you so nice to me?"

He remembered what he once said to Su Xiaoxi, but Su Xiaoxi was still willing to help him.

"The emperor is the king, and the daughters of the people are naturally loyal to the emperor." Su Xiaoxi replied.

Such an answer did not make Nangong Chen feel strange.

After all, Su Xiaoxi originally had such a personality and had such an attitude towards everyone, which comforted him quite a bit.

"Miss Su, have you... ever seen someone?" Nangong Chen asked.

"Who?" Su Xiaoxi asked.

She didn't remember seeing anyone.

"I remember that there was a girl similar to you in the Imperial Garden that day." Nangong Chen recalled the scene carefully.

After hearing Nangong Chen's words, an idea flashed in Su Xiaoxi's mind.

That day, Su Xiaoxi met Concubine Hui in the Imperial Garden.

"But that Concubine Hui?" Su Xiaoxi asked, a little surprised in her heart, but she didn't rule it out.

Nangong Chen nodded, it was Concubine Hui.

At that time, he didn't understand why a woman similar to Su Xiaoxi aroused his interest, and he never investigated the life experience of Concubine Hui.

"A common girl has met Concubine Hui, but she has never interacted with Concubine Hui." Su Xiaoxi said truthfully.

Concubine Hui is indeed a very charming woman, gentle and virtuous, and her manners are generous and elegant. All these make Su Xiaoxi envious, but she is not jealous.

Su Xiaoxi answered like this, but Nangong Chen felt a little disappointed. If possible, he also hoped that Su Xiaoxi was his daughter, the lost seventh princess.

But obviously, this is not what he wants.

"Does the Emperor think that Concubine Hui looks like a common girl?" Su Xiaoxi guessed.

"Yeah!" Nangong Chen responded.

"Whether it's similarity or something else, I just need to know who else is your parents?" Nangong Chen stood up slowly, approached Su Xiaoxi, and looked at Su Xiaoxi condescendingly, with a hint of majesty in his tone, which made Su Xiaoxi Somewhat out of breath.

Su Xiaoxi raised her head and looked up at Nangong Chen. He was wearing a black robe embroidered with gold dragons today. He was extremely handsome, with a tall and straight figure, exuding a noble aura.

Nangong Chen's eyes were firm.

This man truly has the aura of an emperor.

Su Xiaoxi lowered her head, her heartbeat a little erratic.

"There is no one else in the civilian girl's family, only her grandparents."

"Since you have no parents, do you have any relatives at home?" Nangong Chen continued to ask.

This question made Su Xiaoxi even more nervous.

Although she had prepared this question for a long time, she still felt uneasy when she really had to answer it.

Finally, Su Xiaoxi took a deep breath and raised her head to face Nangong Chen, "But the civilian girl doesn't have any relatives."

"Oh?"

Su Xiaoxi knew that she shouldn't hide anything at this moment, but she was not sure what Nangong Chen wanted to do.

"I mean, has Miss Su ever been married?"

"The daughter of the common people already has a husband-in-law." Su Xiaoxi answered simply and neatly, without any delay.

Hearing this, Nangong Chen showed a satisfied smile.

"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten yet? The daughter of the people will get you some."

Su Xiaoxi changed the topic and planned to leave at the same time.

"Miss Su, please stay and have dinner with me." Nangong Chen refused. He knew what Su Xiaoxi was worried about, but in his heart he just wanted to recognize Su Xiaoxi as his goddaughter.

Although Su Xiaoxi was indeed a trustworthy child, they just met by chance after all, and he couldn't take risks.

Besides, his daughter shouldn't suffer this injustice.

Su Xiaoxi was a little surprised by Nangong Chen's decision. She was stunned for a moment before slowly nodding.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. The daughter of the people will be here soon."

When Su Xiaoxi exited the study, Nangong Chen stopped Su Xiaoxi again and said, "By the way, I'll tell your husband about this."

Su Xiaoxi nodded and entered the kitchen.

There were ingredients placed on the kitchen stove. Su Xiaoxi dealt with them before returning to the study with the things.

Nangong Chen was leaning on the chair with his eyes closed to relax. After hearing the footsteps, he opened his eyes and looked at Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi gently placed the tray in front of Nangong Chen, and then stood quietly beside Nangong Chen.

Nangong Chen looked at the bowls and chopsticks without moving them.

"I want to try to have the imperial kitchen prepare some dishes. I wonder if they suit Miss Su's taste?"

Su Xiaoxi raised her head and looked at Nangong Chen, sighing in her heart. This man is really powerful. It's not easy to know all this just by his name.

"The taste is indeed very fragrant, very good, I like it very much!"

Su Xiaoxi's sincere praise was not flattery, but that it was really delicious.

At least it tasted better than what she had eaten before.

Listening to Su Xiaoxi's words, Nangong Chen's mouth curved, he reached out and picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

"If you like to eat, I will order someone to bring some to you every night." Nangong Chen said to Su Xiaoxi with a smile, and then added: "I suddenly want to eat too."

"Daughter of the people, thank you for your kindness." Su Xiaoxi saluted respectfully to express her gratitude.

The luckiest thing in Su Xiaoxi's life was meeting Nangong Chen, and she was willing to do her best to help Nangong Chen.
